Workingwomen Aid ii. c. l..

That factory girls and other work
ing women are spending money with
reckless abandon for luxuries and ex-
pensive clothing and shoes is one Of
the discoveries of Federal agents in
vestigating the high cost of living in
the western district Of Wisconsin, ac-
cording 10 the United States district
attorney, A. c. Wolfe, who is conduct
ing the grand jury probe.
Working girls are wearing more
expensive clothing and shoes than
women of wealth in some cities
said Mr.. Wolfe. "Many women of
means are doing little shopping these
days, but instead are getting along
with what they have, while factory
girls continue to buy expensive cloth
ing and fashionable frills, and thu,
encourage manufacturers to cater thie
class OF trade. Women and men
must cease buying except such a.
ticles as are necessary IL this car
paign to lower the cost of living is t,
be successful. When people ceas,
buying prices will soon reach o
normal level"

Too Many Dresses.

Most women have too many gowns
and bonnets. 1t is not necessary to
make a large selection of gowns. The
principal reason why women have so
many clothes is because they love
to be attractive in the eyes Of others,
and they wonder what some other per-
son will think about their clothes
rather than if the selection is suit
able to themselves. according to Miss
Florence Hunt, assistant in clothing
and dress, Kansas State Agricultural
College
American women are the most ex-
travagant of any women in the world,
yet there is no other place on the
globe where clothes of good quality
may be secured so cheaply," she told
visitor recently.
"The American woman believes she
is compelled to follow the latest fads
which are merely trade schemes OF
the designers and manufacturers to
make the goods sell more quickly O:
the market.
Some of the most common mistakes
women make in the selection OF
clothes are: More attention is paid tc
details of cut than to the quality Of the
material; they own too many clothes
they think of the cost rather than the
value; and they have not learned
what is most becoming to them.
"ln selecting gowns one should
study lines, color and materials
ut is possible for the average
American woman to be we'll dresse,
If she has one good suit, one good in
door costume, one dress and wrap for
the evening"

Nature Study.

In the study Of nature do not try to
teach too much In one lesson. Notice
first the characteristic features and
qualities Of whatever is under discus
sion; let the child examine the object
II possible; remember that children
are more interested In what things do
than in their form.
Let the child examine q little plant,
seed and all. Lead him to observe
that 1t does something. It pushes Its
roots and Its stem up; 1t eats and
drinks, breathes, sleeps and wakes. II
makes things: Leaves and flowers.
seed and fruits. Incidentally, notice
the form and color that these activi-
ties give to each individual plant.
Nature study need not be dull or diff
ficult; 1t provides plenty of life and &C
ton. 1t Is mostly our own interest
that Is dead, or our senses that need
Quickening.
Grasp a few fundamental principles
and nature study in the home, In the
kindergarten and In the school, will be-
come the children's delight, the teach
er's friend, and occupation for the
nursery to help start the youngsters
In busy work, daily delight when
walking out.

We are now cutting loose from the
false idea that saintliness is as

logical doctrine that the "hesh is in

ing the anaemic young man and the

dates for glory, we consider them as
physically unfit for work and handi-
capped for marriage.
A great health movement is sweep

evitable sacrifice. II aims instead to
set free human life by applying
modern science. Science, which has

The practice of medicine which has
been called the healing art for ages is
fast qualifying itself in the field o

NEW WAYS FOR
 LIGHTING BATH

Most bathrooms are finished in very light colors, the walls and ceilings be- ing of the same tint. Consequently, little of the light emitted from ap lamp is absorbed and there seems to be plenty of light until one tries to use the mirror. One 60-watt lamp should provide sufficient general illumination for the average bathroom. but for close scrutiny of one features before a mirror, lamps and fixtures must be correctly placed-- One way of placing these mirror lights is by using two short brackets either side. of the mirror with -N25-watt lamps in opal shades. Bare lamps are worse than none; they shine in the eyes and ob- scure vision

GAR CROSSINGS ID
 BE VERY SHOCKLESS

Los Angeles is the first city in the United States to lessen street noise by using a shockless street car crossing. This unique crossing is at Fourth and Main streets Being shockless. it is also practically noiseless- Both fea- lures add greatly to the comfort of street car passengers.
 Elimination of even a small part or the noise incident to the conSested traffic on our city ctreets is great boon to the public.
 Aside from eliminating shock and noise caused by heavy cars pounding over crossings, this shockless crossing also prevents wear and lowers upkeep expense of the rolling stock It has the additional advantage of pro1ongfng the life of the expensive special steel crossings made necessary by the heavy street car traffic.
 Needless to say, the crossing is auto matic all the mechanical parts being electrically operated.

RAD|UM SPECk WOULD HEAT 4
 HOUSE EASILY

Do you want small lump of fuel which will heat your home for thou sands Of years, requiring absolutely no attention or repienishing? Fires go out, hot water cools, ice melts, but gram of radium keeps constantly from eight to ten degrees hotter than its surroundings. X small thimbleful of radium generates in twenty-siX days enough heat to raise a pint of water from freezing to boiling. In winter the average siX-room furnace-heated home requires two tons of coal per month. One cubic foot of radium would tal<e the place of this amoIlnt of coal, and centuries would pass before the rate of heating diminished appreciably. In 1000 years this fireleSS stove would give the heat equivalent of 10000 tons of coal.
 Not only would the stove require no attention for centuries, but there are no known methods by which it's activ- ity could be altered or regulated. We can hammer the radium into powder, cover it with lead, dissolve it in acid, heat it, freeze it, melt it. but none of these operations interferes in the slightest degree with it's activity. It is, in the present state of our knowledge, as far beyond our control tho planets revolving in the heavens.
 There are several obstacles Tn the way of a general adoption of radium as fuel The rays from such quantity of radium would kill man in short order unless the stove were surrounded by a case of lead foot thick. Fur thermore, not enough of the precious substance has so far been extracted from the earth to provide even one such stove. And even if there were Q, sufficient quantity. it would cost. at the 10 hiltiOnS dollars. So the coal merchants need fear no sudden competition from these fool proof, fuelless stoves.- The Electrical Experimenter.

SMALL HOME MOTOR
 |S WILLING WORKER

The small home motor is the most willing worker you ever saw. 1t is never tired and never demands a vaca- tion. After running the sewing ma chine it is ready to do other tasks with the aid of attachments, one of which is cream whipper that not only whips cream, but also beats eggs quicker and better than by any other method. This attachment includes a funnel arrange ment that permits oil to be added 9 drop at a time, and thus the cream whipper becomes an ideal salad dress ing mixer for the making of mayon- naise sauce. Then there is a polisher. a grinder and a fan attachment that in
 stantly changes the home motor into a strong fan sending cooling breezes through the room on warm days.

Says Sims Strained
 Point to Make
 Out His Charges

Washington, April 20-Rear Ad- mral Sims strained point to make a case against the Navy" when he charged that it's failure to cooper ate fully with the Allies in the first few months of the war, postponed victory four months, Captain Pratt, wartime assistant chief of opera tions, said today before the senate committee Investigating the Sims Daniels row.
 Pratt said that most of the "les- sons" in Sims letter to Secretary Daniels entitled "some naval lessons of the world war;" were not lessons but criticisms"
 "None of these criticisms are con- structive," he declared.
 Pratt told the committee that dur ing the early part of the war only nine or ten anti-submarine craf! were kept at home to protect the Atlantic coast, the British admiralty kept III destroyers with the grand fleet and entirely out of anti-sub. marine operations. If the few craft the United States withheld from the war zone could have greatly affect ed the length of the war, he declar. ed, the British certainly could have spared that number for so impor- l tant a cause.
 Sims was under a "misconceptiol of his position when he compared his duties with those of General Per shing," Pratt continued. The ad miral was not an independent com mander-i in chief he said, but thu | representative in London of the chic of operations.
 The witness said the navy depart ment had prepared many war plans but that none fitted the peculiar con ditions brought about by the subma rine warfare and new ones could no be made until Admiral Sims coult get in touch with the admiraltie and find out the real needs of th' Allies.
 Some of the factors that cause, delays and mistakes that might b. declared, were lack of material prep aration, of adequate supplies and re pair bases, of sufficient personnel and training facilities, and of mod ern methods of organization and ad ministration.
 I ask you to consider the Navy o Ajril 1917, then the Navy of Novem Der of 1918, and finally the Navy O today" the witness said. "With me, leaving the service in droves and ly ing idle at the Navy yards, you navy of today is but battered hull of what it was on armistice day l Were war to be declared today would it be the navy's fault that W were not instantly prepared ?''
