PoIANn ANn nANzIG.

Just what Poland thinks of the effec- tfveness Of the treaty of Versailles thus lar is not available. It cannot fail, how srer, to have it's opinions regarding the manner in which it's efforts to secure munitions through the free port of Dan sig have been frustrated
 According to the treaty Poland was given a corridor leading to this port, a port that it was to have the use of for It's trade and commerce without restric- tions- T. was guaranteed the freedom of this port under the settlement, but when it undertook to obtain supplies by that route it was blocked It encoun- tered such opposition. and so much ab- ntructive sentiment that it was innpossi- bic to get unloaded vessels carrying sup eises that were greatly needed.
 The guarantee to Poland is backed by the entente governments, all of which have in one way or another been giving advice and assistance to Poland during It's days of dire peril representa- tive of these nations is located in Danzig to see as high commissioner of the city. hat the treaty provision is respected, but regardless of all the pressure he brought to bear it was impossible to hasten the delivery Of those munitions in z time of distress.
 The situation has resulted in the send Ing Of warships to Danzig, one of our oTn having gone for the protection of American interests, but Poland has had an experience with this guaranteed port which will not be likely to convince it that 1t can place any great reliance up- on it in the future. That this is fully realized by the entente is indicated by he crders given to the high commis- sioner to use every available means to insure the freedom of the port and the backing of it up with warships, but whatever effect that may have it cannot fail to be appreciated that there has been an absolute disregard displayed for the treaty and for the rights of Po- land sthereunder. Judging by the sit uation Danzig is anything but the free port that it has been declared.

SAVING LEFToVERs

It looks as if the high prices of milk and butter were to be with us for some time yet. So it behooVes all thrifty housewives to plan accordingly. Anfer- ican women have, until now, never been obliged to use the substitutes for butter in cooking so much practiced by their European sisters. Even now the idea of trying out D leftover fats from meat dishes sounds very appalling to many housekeeper. To her trying out means a vision of a great, heavy iron kettle and kitchen filled with smoke and steam. All this is, however, quite un
 necessary. Let enough fat accumulate, raw or cooked it makes no difference, to comfortably fill a medium sized enam- eled ware pan. Place over a moderate fire and cook gently and slowly until all the fat has become a liquid. Pour into any empty tin can or pail-an Old lard pail is good. Add to this from time to time and you will have on hand an ex- cellent substitute for butter in frying The use of an enameled ware frying pan makes all the difference in the ease and success of the trying out process. The fat will not burn in this kind of frying pan; it is light co handle and esily cleared after theH 'drippings" as the English call them, are poured off

Warsaw.

No other people, in all the worlds history, has borne oppression so bravely and gloriously as the Poles, except the Jews and Warsaw, where the Russians had to keep a garrison of 200, 900 troops to over-awe a city of 900, ,000 people, is to Poland what Paris is to France" says bulletin of the National Geographic so- ciety concerning the present focal center of world attention.
 Indeed the vivacity, the gayety, and the quick wit of Warsav's people is a constant reminder of Paris; as well as those deeper likenesses which spring from Warsaws ascendency in the letters, the arts, and the social graees.
 "AIl this, too, in city where the most gruesome tragedies have stalked. AS re- gently as the years of our own Civil war the Russian army moved down thousands of men and women as they knelt in the snow singing their national anthem. De- portations are an old story in Warsaw, every effort at standardization was fol- lowed by slaughter, and hundreds march ed the long trail to Siberian exile.

Ex-sEesErARr WILSON.

When James Wilson, whose death re- gently occurred, took the job of secre- tary of the department of agriculture 1t was little more than a government bu- reau attempting nothing of any great importance and accomplishing much less. Secretary Wilson put life into it. greatly expanded the activities under took the solution of some of the impor- tant problems faced in various sections and left record that he had good req son to be proud ef when he turned the work over to another at the opening of the democratic administration.
 Understanding the possibilities and recognizing the fact that greater use should be made in agricultural pursuits, Secretary Wilson set about the task of making the American farm more profit able. presenting new and advanced ideas to the tillers of the soil and giving the country through this channel the benefit of scientific study. He breadened the field of operations. gave the country the benefit of facts ascertained regarding conditions in other countries not previ- ously known and caused a study of plant life in other lands which proved of im- mense value in the solving of many problems connected with the climates and soils in the various sections of this country.
 In other words Secretary Wilson tack led and found out about countless things that have been of the utmost value to the agriculturalists. In addition he was a practical farmer and he knew what some of the problems were that needed early solution. He not only knew what was necessary but he was able to convince congress of the importance of greatly increasing the appropriation for this kind of activity. And the present department of agriculture with it's many departments is the result of his achieve nlents while in office. So thoroughly did he work that others who succeeded him have proceeded to bask in the shadow of his achievements, which shows why Governor Cox in reference to the depart ment of agriculture found it necessary to declare that he would, if given a chance, name real dirt farmer for that post in his cabinet

SUGGESTIONS FOR


 THE HOUSEWIFE When food is relished there is no waste. Excellent cookies are made with fruit filings
 Kerosene applied to dull copper wifi brighten it. It is best to season meat after it has begun to cook
 Give candles coat of colorless var nish and the wax will not run. A few mint leaves in a glass of lemon ade will make it much more attractive. Parafin rubbed on the right side of a darn in your stocking will prevent wear. Orange juice squeezed into tall glass and served with cracked ice is much more luxurious than when served the usual way.
 Matches should be kept safely out of the reach of children as we'll as of rats and mice.
 The housewife who never uses the fats other than lard or butter when cooking is disregaFding one of the best means of eeononlizing.
 Leftover mashed potatoes may be freshened up for another meal by merely steaming them until they become light and fluffy.
 Should you spill hot fat on the floor or table, pour cold water on it at once. It can then be more easily scraped off before it has time to sink into the wood. String beads are not at their best un- less all the strings are carefully remev- ed.
 Coffee grounds have no value what ever ad should never be used a second time.
 Hot pressed water color paper can be used instead of parchment for candle shades
 Prepared horseradish is not So good as that which you grate and prepare at home.

DICTATES OF FASHION

The newest lingerie blouses button in the back.
 Long necklaces of heavy. brilliant beads are worn with dark costumes
 Yeils may be round or square but they must all have deep silk borders.
 It is even suggested that the back full ness of 1880 skirts will be revived.
 The twice around Egyptian girdle should be worn with Eton suits,
 Taffeta is considered to have abund- ant possibilities for evening wear
 Tassels are seen on many hats. Some times these tassels spring from the most unusual places, under the brim, the tip of the crown, etc.
 The indication is that hats will be larger this fall, and it seems that the wide -bfimmed hoppy hat is preferred. The favorite material fashion experts say, will be duvetyn.
 The following shades will be in favor for afternoon dresses-biue, black or fawn, with ernbroideries inspired from Gothic and Oriental sources.
 French knots in wool are used exten- siyeiy as blouse trimming. They are placed close together and form au-over patterns of various sorts. Hanna

YOUR CHILD,s HAIR.

For the quite small child bobbed hair and a forehead fringe is generally the best But take care that the fringe is kept well out of the eyes, or it may in duee triEks of blinking and winking, which are bad for the vision.
 It is not a good plan to dress the hair regularly in the same style, unless it is just bobbed and fringed. For example, if a ribbon bow is worn always on the crown or band is placed day after day around the head the hair is liable to become worn and lusterless in the parts that are strained and covered. For just the same reason it is unwise to adopt a center or side parting as a last ing coiffure scheme. Change is benefi- ciaI, not only to the appearance, but to the health of the hair.

WHERE LYNCHING IS WINKED AT.

Only what can be expected to happen when mob rule undertakes to override law and administer justice is just what occurred at Corinth, Miss, where two Negroes were lynched following which the county attorney declares that 'tat least one' of the Negroes was innocent. No consideration, however, was given to any such possibility. No effort was made to determine whether the men so ruthiessly murdered were guilty or no; guilty of any offense. It was appar- ently a case where any ofense on the part of colored man was sufficient to incense the mob and under such circum- stances any Negro was likely to be de- priVed of his life.
 No crime justifying the death penalty had been committed It was a case where members of a county chain gang had in making their escapes struck down and severely injured one of the guards. + is not to be inferred that those men Ehould not have been sought and pun ished for the assault, and if the condi- ton of the injured man justified they should have had the charge against them deferred until the full extent of the injuries could be determined Capital punishment was certainly not called for, and if it had been justice to a human being demands that he should have re- cet7ed it in accordance with the pro- visions of the law and at the hands of properly constituted authorities,
 The hot headed mob was unwilling to accord this justice So eager were the muTderers to take life that they didn't .zzs the trouble to find out whether the Negroes who were taken out of jail after

sANDPAPER LABEL.

A device for protecting people from taking doses from poison bottles by mis- take is a sandpaper lable. The ordinary label is pasted on a piece of sandpaper large enough to go all around the bot tie, so that when any one takes up the bottle in the night, no matter how dazed from sleep he may be, the rough, un- familiar feel of the sandpaper rouses him and he recognizes at once that the bottle contains poison of some descrip- ton. The printed label tells the kind of poison in the bottle.

TO REPAIR LINGERIE.

Any woman who has been troubled by lingerie wearing out under the arms will, am quite sure be glad to know how I solved the problem without a darn or unsightly patch to show through a thin waist Of material as near like that of the garment as possible, cut two pieces of the same size, turning in the edges Baste these on either side of the garment along the shoulder seam, around the armsize and down under the arm seam to the waistline, shaping this large patch well out over the bust to cover all thin places, in either Eton jacket effect or in points, or any prefer red style. Then have the patch hem stitched by machinery close to the edge all the way around. It will cost about 10 cents Then cut away the old part The garment will wear about six months longer, and should the henstitching show through thin waist, it will look like an added decoration on the under garment.-Good Housekeeping.
