REMNANTS OF LINEN.

A new use for remnants or for dis carded breadths of narrowed linen skirts is to make pillow slips of them pillow slips designed to cover the small most used couch cushions.
 Make these slips just like ordinary pillow cases with hemstitched hems. They will give a fresh, clean. dainty effect that is often lacking when cushion covers are chosen for service in the reaction from the days when, to use one of the elaborately em- broidered ruffled sofa cushions" was nothing shot of sacrilege.
 If you have enough of one color linen make two or three covers and use them on the cushions at one time. When these go to the laundry change to another made. But if you haven't enough for more than one of a kind, choose the colors that go best to- gether to use at any one time. In general shades of linen are soft and blend well.
 As for comfort nothing feels quite as cool and restful and clean as linen, and certainly no material after repeated tubbings acquires a lovelier sheen than does pure linen.

MUST DRAW THE LINE.

Even though certain cities in eastern Massachusetts have gone from trolleys to jitneys and back again. and as the result of the un- willingness of the electric road trus- tees 10 compete with the unfair ad- vantages presented by the autos compel the street railway company tc maintain service, it ought to be plain to the people in those cities as well as elsewhere that if they ex- beet to have service which they de- sired furnished they must give it such patronage that will make it possible. Where tthe kick is justified is when they are giving proper pat ronage and failing to get service.
 As might lave been expected Gov ernor Coolidge in reply to the pei tioHers expresses full confidence that the public will have D difficulty n obtaining such transpo ,Lation fac.l- itics as il is willing at;t' ahte to pay for. He app: eciates the fact that more than one method If uanspo: tation may be an excellent thing for q community but here again he points out the obvious fact that if t is going to have such service it must expect to pay for it. On tho other hand if it is not possible to supI ort more than one kind of transportaticn facilities the line will have to be drawn between trolleys and jitncys.
 In eastern Massachusetts a kick is being registered because the electrics are not run. The cars are not run because enough people do not ride in them to warrant their operation, The solution seems to lie right in the hands of the people themselves. Either they should be willing to pay for the jitney service to such an ex- tent that it will meet their require ments or else they should see the wisdom of maintaining electric ser vice. Apparently they are not pro viding patronage enough to expect that they are going to have both services and until they do they can not complain if the one that cannot eke out living quite.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Both power and rouge should be re- moved at night and cold cream and the face bathed afterward with warm wat CT and a pure soap, after which an other anointing with the cream should take place.
 A woman who had been a Tight eater" all her life and who was al- ways pale and wan looking was ord cred by her physician to drink a pint of cream and a pint of milk day in addition to eating three good sized meals. In six weeks she had gained fourteen pounds and was astonished to a state Of wild jubifation because her cheeks were pink and rosy for the first time in her life.
 For chilblanes, French druggists of ten offer a decoration of walnut leaves, which is made for the bath; after this the affected parts are rubbed with spirits of camphor and ther dusted with a powder made of twC and a half drams of bismuth and three and an eighth ounces of pow dered starch.
 A softening pomade, which is also most healing f9r chapped skin, is made in this way:-Cocoanut butter one ounce; oil of sweet almonds, ont ounce; oxide of zinc, one dram; borax one dram; oil of bergamot, six drops Heat the cocoa butter and almond or a double boiler, and when they ar, thoroughly blended add the zine ana boraX; stir the mixture as it cool and put in the bargamot last.

Answer Was Obvious.

Mir. Editor: Just word and I am through with the One who voted for Bryan" I did not write with the oo- ject of having discussion with any one, much less a man who is afraid to come out in the open and give his haTne.
 I will briefly note a few things which he says in his last letter. He tries to make an issue of the question of whether I approve of Bryans break with Wilson. This I replied to in my own way and supposed my answer was obvious to any intelligent reader. He says after much fencing I left the question unanswered I can only say that if he had only stretched his ima- gination as much to find my meaning as he has the truth to say the ques- tion remains unanswered, he would not be repeating question about one of the deadest of dead issues.
 He uses the mask of One who vot- Cd for Bryan" to call men like Lodge and Borah things" Who is this man that hides behind a fence throwing stones at decent people as they pass by?
 He goes on to give his version of Bryan's first break with Wilson and tells us. according to his thought. what Germany thought of US giving U' eS tNeASOll 1OI NTci tu1nkl4S as she did that we as nation were di- vided into two contending parties the executive being democratic and the legislative republican-which is not true in regard to the legislative, as the legislative only became repub- lican in November 191S But at the time of which he speaks, MT. Roose- welt and General Wood were thunder ing at the administration to prepare. MT. Lodge from his seat in the senate. Mir. Gardiner of Massachusetts in the house. and other patriotic men throughout the country were sounding the alarm. and it was not until press and people were boiling over that the democratic administration could be forced to move
 On account of the delay in prepara ton, the wnr has cost us more than double what it. might have cost. con sequently we have to pay double the taxes and this adds to the high cost of living, and this|is only one of the blunders of blundering administra- tion.
 Nh wonder the lone who voted for Bryan" is ashamed to come out in the open
 Thanking you Mir Editor, for vour courtesy, I bid the man with the mask adieu.

JOHN DODGE

Within the past year there have passed away some great captains of industries. Their names are familiar throughout the world because of the fortunes they amassed and the way in which they did it. Frequently it has been said that others are not likely to roll up as much wealth as they did. and yet there is no certain ty in such statements. It is not prob able that others will rise to the rank of the country's wealthiest men through just the same channels that they did and yet it is to a certain ex- tent all matter of seeing and talk ing advantage of an opportunity.
 This has been disclosed by the ca reer of John Dodge, whose untimely death occurred last week in New York at the age of a. Possessed of common school education, augment ed by certain training he had received to Detroit at the age of 20 to make in his fathers machine shop, he went his way in the world. Joined by his brother they were wage earners in a machine shop until 1s years ago they had enough to start a small shop of their own. They did good work and they had their difficulties but they prospered. The time came when they saw a chance to go into the au- tomobile business for themselves. They made the most of their oppor- tunities. did business on the policy of putting out meritorious work, and as the result of that comparatively brief period since he quit as a wage earner John Dodge piled up $5O,000, ,0o0.
 Where he succeeded others have failed. Where he became a multi millionaire others are still working at the bench. It all depends upon the willingness and ability to grasp and develop an opportunity. John Dodge cannot fail to be included among the nations industrial captains.

FRANCES NEW PRESIDENT.

After the magnificent service he has rendered 10 France as premier dur ing fhe darkest Fericds of the war g. could not help being learned with surprise. outside of France at least. that Georges Clsmenceau was not de- sired for president of that republic. Except on very special occasions, such ps during Q war pr when It becomes recessary 10 select a new cabinet. the Presidency Of France is not much more than an honorary position. but for his work it was but natural to ex- pect that his country would have been anxious to accord him that hon or.
 Clemenceau is a man whose activity does not incline to honorary jobs. It ran be appreciated therefore that those who know i'm as the Tiger" could not expect him to sit idly by in the easy chair Of he presidency. Be cause of that and because it was be- heved that his influence would be felt as the head of the nation even as it was while he was premier the opposition that was manifested to him and his methods during the pre- miership was increased when it came to electing the president. Thus while there may. be conferred on him the title of saviour of France" he was not desired for the presidency and the result is that he goes out of the political activities of his coun- try.
 As president Of France Deschanel. the successor Of Poincare, is eni- nentiy fitted by his long career as a statesman It was not his first at tempt to secure the position but he was a dark horse in this latest con test until the eve Of the election. Re has been particularly successful as the president of the house of deputies and the respon- siblity now falls upon him to secure a firm ministry but in the selection of Aillerand as premier there is ai ready the belief that he cannot hold the position long.

tary this country has made many promises to Russia which have not been backed by deeds. Russia has been a friend to this country, but to- day we are in default to Russia is the way he views the situation. In urging the protection of ourselves and the extension of help to Russia he believes that now is the time for the first steps in the reestablish- ment of trade relations, and it is in- teresting to note in this connection that the supreme council has approved recommendations to the effect that the embargo on soviet Russia be lift ed to the extent of relieving interior populations by giving them medi- cine, machinery and other commodf- ties in exchange for grain and flax. Apparently there is an opportunity to help Russia and strike at bolshev- ism through the same channel.
