Porch Floors

In tho summer I have my pOrcheS
thoroughly scrubbed and washed. Theu
/ have them waved with any of tn" good
floor WAKES. After this treatment the
floors arc polished with polishing
brush. just as one would do in polishing
hardwood floors. This method preserves
the floor and after the porch is treated
in this manner one does not have TO put
water on it during the entire season.
Have the porch gone over daily with a
broom or floor mop. Much time is
saved thus in hot weather. and u porch
treated in this manner always looks
well food housekeeping.

WHAT SHALL BUSINESS GIPT q
WEAR IN THE .SL1DlMERTTMF5
The Educational Director of Department Store Say, Ill.,
Men Do Not Like "Georgene Girls in Their Office, "

NuOW should l dress for, the Office
- in summer?" asks business girl
who wants to do the right thing.
There's only one answer: dress sen
sibly. No. that doesn't mean wear com
mon sense shoes. dark, thick dresses and
other uninteresting things. II means
dress just as coolly as you can without
looking as II you were going to a garden
party. IL means wear voile dresses, or
candle dresses. gingham dresses. It
means wear, white shoes and stockings.
It means have the dresses madeI in the
latest style-but It means have them
suitable for Office wear.
"A man does not like foolish. fritz
terry girl about his Office" says an
educational director Of a. large depart
ment store. "a girls costume should
not thrust her upon his notice. He may
like to go out with a gcorgette girl after
business hours. but in business hours he
wants to think about business. A girl is
dressed well for business when she wears
n simple stylish dress that is becoming
but unobtrusive. Modish but not ex-
aggerated in style. Thin georgettc
blouses, are not businesslike.
A girl In business office has a
special mission during the summer. That
mission is to look as cool and comfort
able as possible. a man has to,wear his
high collar and his coat no matter what
the weather. aud he wants everything
about him to suggest ''coolth" as much
as possible because he can't. II he en- :
tcrs his Office in the morning and finds
his stenographer encased in serge or
cloth 1t makes him hotter right AWAY.
But if he comes in mopping his brow.
and finds cool looking. calm young
person in comfortable dark blue silk,
or trig dark blue voile with little
design in it, or summery checked
gingham with white collar and cuffs,
be feels as II 1t must be cool and he feels
better right away.
Of COURSE as soon as anybody says
O'1ook cool" the flesh color georgctte
crepe comes into mind. There's no dc
nying that IL does look cool. and il /.
cool. As far as that's concerned tn,
same could be said of chiffon, or sill
net or tulle. or any other material that
evening or afternoon frocks are made o
or even the low neck and extremely
short sleeves that are suitable only fol
evening. AS soon as you say. "Lool
busnesslikc. though. the flesh color
georgettc crepe turns pale and modestl,
retires. The dark shades Of georgctt'
crepe are much more possible for bust
ness wear than the light ones. but some
how you always feel that the wcarcr II

wouldn't have chance to change hel
dress between times. White is the cool
est and most comfortable thing to wear
but unless the business girl has a diff.
fercnt dress for every day in the wcel
she cannot wear white. II turns blacl
so soon.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose


DERHAPS it is but one step from
l. the cape to the shawl. Perhaps II
we can acc,lstom ourselves to going
about town cnvcloped in the folds Of a
capc we can acrustom ourselves to the
folds Of shawl. Once we would have
said that either garment was imprac-
ticnblc for street wear for the modern
woman. So It may he that shawls for
coming.
In the meantime shawls for evening
and drcSsy afternoon wear are seen here
en-, But 50 far these shawlS arc al
ways of the lace variety. and they are
very often old hcirlooms. treasures
brought to light from some grand
mothers trunk. Sometimes these
squares or tIianglcs Of old lace are
rather delicate. Time has robbed their
threads Of some of their youth and it is
desirable to back them up with a little
reinforcement And this is quite pos
siblc. as you will often see them with
n chiffon lining.
Personally I am tremendously glad of
the revival of interest in lace shawls
/ as lace SnaWlS. 30 oi'cn wv woman
who found herself possessed Of an old
lace shawl would feol that she could use
II in some way az the drapary Of Il
frock. Now undoubtedly shawl can
be used whole by n skillful designer and
dressmaker. But too often the amateur
or the small drcSsmakcr sacrifices style
I to the shawl. She feels that the lace is
TOO valuable to permit her to cut it and
the result is something rather stiff.

vITATCHING the market closely at
w this season of the year. the house
wife will soon know just what foods are
abundant. normal and scarce. Real
economy demands that this knowledge be
at the housewives fngcrtips in order
10 prevent the hit or miss method Of
buving.
This means that. regardless of the
menu that has been planned. you must
study market conditions and move those
foods which were planned in accordance
with the market conditions.
The reading of the wholesale rates in
the market and provision column Of the
paper will give the housewife fair idea
Of prices that the various foods are
bringing in carload lots.
Purchasing food on charge accounts.
when delivery j. desired. will increase
the cost Of each article of food rur-
chased. The cash and carry markets
nre a real boon to the economical womuu
who can take time to go to market.

of territory had to be covered and the
demands for poison were SO increased
that we were forced TO abandon this
method and prepare all the poisoned
grain at one central mixing station at
Malad. The grain was then deliver
ed to the various community chairmen
over the county. and they in turn had
charge of sale and distribution in
their communities. The community
chairmen were instructed by the
county agent in methods OF scattering
the bait. and they in turn gave dem
onstrations to farmers. The poisoned
grain was furnished to the farmers at
cost. No poison nor grain was dis
tributed free of charge.
The formula recommended by the
bureau of biological survey for the de-
struction of the Richardson squirrel
was used successfully on this particu-
lar species, but on the other two spe-
cies, known as the Piute and Idahoen-
sis, the bureau had no formula to rec
ommend. Numerous formulas and
preparations were tried. which result
ed in failure. Considerable inyesti-
gational work was carried out by T.
B. Murray of the bureau of biological
survey and the county. agent. The
following formula was finally devel-
oped which gave satisfactory results I:
