were taken by police yesterday
morning in a daylight raid on an

floor and chairs, when they forced
their way into an upstairs room.
The raid was made following
complaints of neighbors. Seventy

cealed in a bureau. The alleged
gamblers will have a hearing in
central police court Monday. i

RIBBON AND LACE.

A dainty and inexpensive gift any
 woman would appreciate are beudeiF
 garters, for there are inconveHienees
 In going without ones eorsets when in
 negligee that rather outweigh the een-
 to slip over or under ones knees.
 Four yards of ribbon and three-quar
 ters of yard of elastic with a few
 hours time do not total formidable
 sum and if the gift seems inadequate
 one might include a beudoir cap to
 match to say nothing of mules or slip
 pers. Lace adds softness, very pretty
 caps being entirely of lace with cas-
 eades or rosettes of two-faeed ribbon at hack, sides or side. Picot-edged ribbon is effective for this purpose and if 1t is used the gartefs and mules should of course be also of pieot. Mar got lace is new and attractive for boudoir use and just at the moment is in high favor for negligees. For camisole shoulder straps picot ribbon is charming; the top of the camisole may be finished with a narrow picot- edged ribbon sewn on the under side | so that a narrow line of the contrast ing color and the picet serve as a fi- nish. Pink and blue, blue and laven- der, pink and yellow and pink. and lavender are few of the lovely pastel shades to be had. Rather more diff 1 ficult to make but distinctively worth while are the purses and bags made ] of rich broeade OF moire ribbon, these 1 mounted on frames as simple or ele- gant as desired

NEEpLEWoRk NOTES.

Remove the upper part of torn cot ton or flannel nightgowns, measure length required, gather in at the waist, make belt from part of sleeve and you have good serviceable under skirt.
 Lingerie bands for holding camisoles, skirts and nightsowns make an un- usual gift. These are made as long as desired and strip of. it contains a piece of rubber causing it to shir. This shirred section is edged with lace and trimmed with tiny ribbon roses. The shirred section holds a strip of wadding filled with sachet.
 A simple way to embroider a dress by 4nand without making the embroid- cry look bulky, is the following. The tissue paper with the pattern is stitch cd onto the material and then with the regular needle and foot on the sewing machine, followed out carefully with good sized stitches the same color as the material When the pattern is completed, colored silk or metal thread is worked through these stitches. This will give q corded effect and an even outline.
 Take discarded shirts and cut of worn places around neck. Then lay simple pattern with kimona sleeves on the shirt. Have the shirt buttons so that when, the rompers are cut out the front of the shirt will make the back of the rompers and buttons and buttonholes will not have to be made as they will already be there. There is plenty of material in the shirt to make a pair of rompers for a child from one to three years old.

CHRISTMAS CLUBS,

For more than decade there has been n existence in this country a plan for encouraging the people to save with the view to having a sufficient amount on hand when the Christmas season comes to meet their requirements. The idea is to save over a period of twelve months a little, at time but regularly, so that at this time of the year there will be savilable from such thrift all and prob ably more than will be needed to bIy Christmas gifts, and through such sys- tomatic saving there will not be felt the drain on the poeketbook or the worry 'n trying to figure out where the money is going to come from.
 II is interesting to note that there are more than 5000 banks which have Teen conducting Christmas clubs this year and as the result will be dis.yihu.ad to something like three million people ap- proximately s110,OOe, ooo within few days. It is money that belongs to them but money which they have put aside each week in varying sums to be kept for them by the banks until this time of the year. They have known what they could depend upon and they have been able to devote their attention to planning for the holiday season in other ways thar digging up all of sudden a sufficient amount to make ends meet
 While the idea revolves around Christ mas buying there is nevertheless a vslua bis lesson involved in saving Those wht realize what is to be gained througi saving part of their earnings instead O spending them all as fast as received ar likely to be impressed 10 such an exten that future savings will be for other thai Christmas purposes.
 For those who were not trained t store uD for rainy day, those who can not save without putting their money in to the hands of others and those who d not realize the necessity and benefit o such self protection the idea is a capita one. With three million people alread interested it shows how strong an appes the plan has made throughout the cour try.

By the introduction of a resolution in the meeting of the league of nations as- sembly calling for the elimination of ar- ticle ten it becomes evident that this much discussed feature of the league has been talked about elsewhere, that the debate in this country caused others te do some thinking about it and that more than passing attention has beer given te the result of the solemn referendum on November second

SUGGESTIONS FOR
FOh
 THE HOUSEWIFE

TIE HOUSEWIVES If you wish your bread to have a. soft crust wrap in a clean cloth as soon as it comes from the oven.
 Sweet potatoes will keep for weeks if put into a strong paper bag and placed in the refrigerator.
 Baste a roasting ham with a few tahlespooHfuls of grape juice This gives it delicious flavor.
 Small fruits which are not whole or firm enough to use for preserves should be made into jams.
 A cheap shaving brush is excellent yfor dusting heavily trimmed hats.
 Sew together the legs of wornout stockings and use to polish stoves.
 Hot weather is the time to be espe- cialiy careful of timed foedstuffs. Broiled green peppers make a deli cieus finishing touch to steak.
 Cut flowers last longer if set in a pail of water up to their necks over- night
 A six pound electric iron is best for laundry work as it holds heat longer,
 Keep a button bag near the electric washer for any buttons that are wrung |Soff.
 Shetland shawls can be washed in warm soapy water, just as f1annels are washed.
 Slip a thimble on the end of the curtain rod when putting it through the the curtain. Mix left ever cooked fish with curry | place in border of cooked rice and re-heat.

FOR FABRICS LIkELY TO FApE

When the action of soap is likely to injure a delicate color, use soapbark, starch water, or bran water. Soap bark, although not soap, when heat ed ill water will form suds. To pre- rare it for use, boil for 10 minutes a cup of the bark with l quart of water; taen cool and strain the liquid. The "soapy' water may be used full strength for sponging, or diluted for washing; half of this amount is enough for one-half tubful of water. Since the liquid is brownish, it should be Used only on dark colored goods.
 Starch water is especially good for cleaning delicate cotton fabrics. This Is usually made by adding thin starch paste to the wash water Water in which rice has been boiled, if it is not discolored, may be used instead. If it is not desirable to have, the material starched slightly, it must be rinsed in salt water
 Bran water, made in the game way as soaphark solution, is useful with colors that are likely to fade. It does not give suds, but cleans like starch wa ter,

AFTER BAD CONDITIONS.

When the American Legion is quoted as declaring that it plans action fer the purpose of compelling the branches of ths government which have to do with the discharged and disabled soldiers to live up to their responsibilities it is the cui- minatioH of long list of troubles that have been experienced by those whe were in the service of their country during the recent war. There has been a pesied of teleratian but in view of conditions per- sisting two years after the araistice was declared there can be little surprise that the organization representing the men feel it necessary to follow different tae- tics.
 Much surprise has been expressed over the fact that those who were in the ser vice did not continue their government insurance. It is recognized as being at the lowest possible figure and obtainable on much better terms than can ea se- cured elsewhere. For that reason strong efforts have been made te persuade those who have it to hold onto it, and those who had it but dropped it to take ;r up again. To these latter special induce ments. such as,-e could not be expected elsewhere, were made. A considerable number did retain their insurance and there were those who were convinced of the advisability of being reinstatei but 1t was the experience through which they went while in the service and after leaving it that caused so many to give
 it lip and deslare they would have noth- ing more te do with it. Even though they recognized the low rate, they pre- ferred to pay higher premium and have the details attended to in 8 businesslike manner rather than continue their ex- perience with the government bureaus which kept them in state of uncertain. ty, In other words the loW rate did not make up for the inconvenience and bcthe. ti,at were entailed by the inefficient gov ernment bureaus
 It is quite natural therefore that ths American Legion should feel it necessary to start an active campaign against suck conditions. It is advisable for the in, terests of its members and it should re-
 suit in betterments that are apparently
 greatly needed to bring about proper government service

HEALTH ANpREAur

White hair requires more care than dark hair, but the results will justi- fly any amount of effort. Most of the care is in the shampooing. If the hair is oily, soapless shampoo can be giv- en by rubbing the scalp and hair with half alcohol and kalf water. This mix ture is cleansing and should be follow ed by several rinsings in hot and cold water.
 A few minutes day, not more than two or three at the most, will keep
 the nails quite perfect and will make
 a thorough manicure necessary only once in while. fine best plan to fol-
 low is to reshape the ends of the nails every day.. or every other day, with a
 strip of puspiee board. The light fil- ing will giveNthe nails new edge and will keep them from growing too long. A cleansing cream which is most ef- feetive is made as follows: White wax, l oz.; spermaeeti, oz.; white mineral oil, ozs.; rose water, 1 12 ozs.: powdered borax, 30 grains; oil of bitter almonds. 15 drops. The wax spermaeeti and both oils are heated until they blend; the rose water con taining the borax is also warmed, ano 1 the two are mixed. They are beater until they begin to cool, then poured off into jars.
 l A certain amount of exercise is ab. solutely essential Such exercis, should be taken preferably out O. doors and if possible in a light cos. i tune so the pores of the body have l;
 chance to breathe. Strenuous exercis should always be followed by ho
 bath and quick cold rinse or shower
 For the exercise makes the skin act

DICTATES OF FASHION,

Margot and Bohemian laces are ri- valing Chantilly.
 corsage bouquets of natural flowers are worn.
 Gray footwear continues in vogue even with dark dresses.
 Pointed fox animal scarfs are con- sidered smart. This fur and silver fox are chosen more often than any other for the animal scarf.
 Ming green is one of the newer greens in favor, and green continues to be leader on the modish card.
 The upturned brim of a black vel vet hat is of black lace, banded with jade green ribbon. Long straight tunics and panelings are results of the strong Chinese influ : ence on dress. In place of fur or tul1e English wo men are using moire ribbon as a neck l wrap.
 | Arnate gloves are favored by Paris 1 Fur trimmed dresses and fur trim med blouses are much in evidence. The Egyptian note persists as g i strong influence. 1 Short evening dresses freouentl,

THE sIxrY-sIxTH CONGRESS.

The short and concluding session of the sixty-sixth congress, and the last under the present administration, will open to- day. It is always a session where much time is devoted to the appropriation bills and in view of the importance of such bills and the time which congress really gets during the next three months for business it is not surprising if it mas come to be realized that little more thaA such legislation can be anticipated.
 Appropriation bills are important and particularly so at this time when every effort can be expected to be made in be- half of economy and efficiency. By just 90 much as these bills can be kept down and the policy of retrenchment put in: 0 effect by just that much will it be pos sible to curtail on the amount of money to be raised by taxation, and taxation is q matter which is bound to come in for serious consideration in the months to come.
 There is the important matter of plac- ing the government on a budget system which was prevented before adjournment last spring by the presidents veto Il is legislation that needs to be completed and it is indicated that action will be sought demanding legislation dealing with the immigration problem, while tho matter of recognizing administrative work and dealing with other matters be- fore the country will get such attention as time will permit.
 There has been nothing to indicate what the presidents attitude is going tc be relative to the treaty and the league of nations but in view of the verdict ei the people it seems most unlikely that he will undertake to resubmit them fol ratification. There will be plenty of oth CT business, including that which wa. held over from the previous session, tt keep congress busy without being oblige( to deal with that. That special empha sis will be put upon the appropriation bills is to be expected, and even thougi this is not the congress recently elected it cannot fail to appreciate what the peo pie have indicated that they want.

MT. Editor: As president of the Me- hogan Indian association, in behalf of my family and the people of this asse- ciation, l wish to write refutation ts an article which appeared in the Nor wich Record in regard to the last of the Mohicans.

 It is very evident that the article was !, written by someone directly concerned in the land which was set aside as a bury ing ground for the Aohegans independent of any grant ever made by Uncas or any other Indians, through sheer malic- \ iousness.

OUR ATTITUDE.

As he sets out on his trip to South America to return in behalf of this gov ernment the visits of the heads of South American republics Secretary Colby gees as the representative of President Wil- son. He goes at peried. when the pres ent, administration is nearing its close and when the people of the United States have declared for different policies than the administration he represents.
 Perhaps it is unjust to attempt tc an- ticipate what he is going to say te the people of South America as he visits Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. That he will present this country as standing and working for the best interests of all the Americas is not to be doubted. Speaking in general terms he can point to the United States as urging the best possi. ble understanding between the countries of North and South America in the in- terests of friendship security and de. velopment. He can set forth what thu aim of the present administration hat been but naturally the South American: are not going to be as much concerned with something which is about to end a. they will be with what is going to takt it's place.
 The new administration is probabl, what South American countries are giv ing much attention to at the pressa time, and Secretary Colby does net ant cannot represent that. Being the spokes man for President Harding though ther, are many respects in which they will b. the same.
 South America will of course make tn most of such visitation and it is fo the secretary of state 10 do his utnsos to impress upon the countries visited tn importance of harmonious relationship and the fact that we harbor only spiri of friendship and good will toward then
