drop an old stocking on the handle of your broom and fasten it with a tack in the her-it's always there. Also keep another one to slip on your hand for a duster. It is so easy to dust m corners, between bannisters, etcc. Moistening with oil helps.

BETTER THAN RODS-A con venient method of fastening curtains over your glass door is to run mar row elastic (A inch wide) through both hems of your curtain and fast en ends of elastic in place by glass push pins. Elastic should be cut one inch shorter than width of glass.

MAKE YOUR OWN WINDOW

MAKE YOUR OWN WINDOW SHADES-Durable and pretty win dow shades can be made by taking 2h yards of Indian head domestic to the window, starch stiff and ironing. Hem the lower end and tack the top the roller just as bought shades are tackled. If pre- ferred insertion of coarse thread can be put in above the hem. One who. is handy with the crochet can make the shades elaborate with such insertion.

MOCCAsINs FOR BABY-Good

MOCCASINS FOR BABY-Gooo warm moccasins may be mAde fol baby out of an old sweater. A lit. tie shoe may be used for pattern After moccasIns have been cut and sewed up, finish around the top and down the front openings with a crochet shell edge; then run a. chain around the front openings, attach ing it to each shell, thus forming holes through which it may be lac ed.
 A GOOD GLUE-Gather mesquite wax that runs ont of the. trees in the spring; put in wide-mauthed bottle or can with a cover. Cover the wax with vinegar and let set until it mixes. You will have glue that will. stick anything and costs but a trifle.
 SPATTED WORK CURTAINS My curtains were all made of a cheap grade of unbleached domestic, all with the same size hems- This allows me to- mate the best ones as long as they last. I wanted berd- CTS on some. They had to be in- expensive, both as to. cost and time. I took blue and yellow die and filled two discarded salt shakers. I cover ed my ironing board with several sheets of paper, pinned the border side of curtains smooth, then spat- tered my border from right to lift, alternating colors as desired. To keep the borders even lay papers over the body of the curtains, leay- ing the space as wide aS desired. After 1 had finished with the blue and yellow dyes I mixed them and had enough green to- border the bottoms of another pair. I do not know whether the dye will wash or not, but the are much admired and so inexpensive.
 SIEVE BETTER THAN GRAF ER-Cheese may be grated on a wire sieve with better success and with less work in washing than when grater is used.
 COME STOCKING CARES-Be- fore the children's stockings are worn darn the heels with loose up- and-down stitches, using any soft,. cotton thread. Later, if these threads wear out darn again; and you are never troubled with holes there. A thread of different color should be used for each child black for one, red for another and stockings can readily he assort- ed. The alarming does not extend above shoe tops. All new, eolored hose should be soaked awhile in hot water with pinch of salt. This shrinks them and sets the color. Stockings should never be put with other laundry, but washed in clear water and dried in the shade, just as soon as they become soiled.
 PIE HINT-For pumpkin, mine. or custard pies, brush the bottom crust with unbeaten white of egg and place in the oven few min utes to harden. This prevents the filling from soaking into the crust.
 POCKETS-The reason house keepers do not save many little things that ought to be saved and used, such as paper sacks and cord that COG to the kitchen almost daily, put them. Make some cretonne

DEVELOPING GwIN HURST.
Good Progress Being Made on New
Brandywine Hundred Pr oject.

Excellent progress is being made on the
grading of the roads at Gwinhurst, the
Mundy & Co. development on the Phila-
delphia-W Wilmington turnpike, IN the Holly
Oak neighborhood. A half dozen two
horse teams with serapers, and tractor
drawn plows are making the dirt fly. a
large proportion of the individual lots IN
the sections adjoining the company $
office are already numbered on the, ground
to correspond with the map. As there are
! 400 of them in all, this is no small task.
As the site includes three homesteads,
the Williams, Isaac Lodge and Petitger-
man, there is very little contour grading
required; the natural lay of the land being
taken advantage Of
The combined acreage is los, and a
central feature will be made of run OF
water which traverses the property, broad
roadways being planned parallel to ITS
course, on either side.
Although the sale of lots was not an
nounced to begin until today, fully 100
lots have already been secured by invest
ors who have been impressed with the
character of the development and figure 1T
as a conservative proposition.
The starting of the Claymont-W Winning
ton bus line, announced for Monday, Will
give direct access to the property, which
is but three blocks from the Holly Oak
sta ton of the trolley line.

CONQUEST IN NORTH

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Military
and civilian aeronautical experts de-
clare that the completion recently cf
Nthe trip of four American army avia-
tors from New York to Nome, Alas
ka, was as epochal in it's military and
commercial Importance as Eleriot's
first flight, across the English chan

tics.
Reports state that the Alaskans are
determined to bring about regular
communication through the air and
now look to the government to foster
the new project.
AS the result of the flight, it is
said, an aerial route has been photo
graphed and charted diagonally
across the United States, Canada and
Alaska, with tentative supply and air
service sites
The report of Captain st. Clair
Street, who was in command of tho
expedition, states that the flyers con-
sidered the route across the Eastern
States, as having few landing fields
and not ideal in any instance. The

sweep at Elgin, breaking all records
for the course. He led the field from
start to finish, winning first prize of
$4,000 and a special prize Of $4,000 for
