swiss or net are among the things that

be made over for the little boy should
be ripped up and the goods in 1t
washed according to the usual method
of washing woolens. If it shrinks
little no harm is done. When 1t is
pressed and made up into suit for
the yOungSter the material is really as
good as new. In case it has worn
shiny it should be turned, placing the
wrong side out. In boys suits even
more than in grown-ups two pairs Of
pants for one coat is economical. A
suit with two pairs of pants will wear
more than twice as long as suit with
only one pair. 1t is not particularly
difficult to make boys clothes. The
pants, if cut by a reliable pattern, are
easy. When the coat is undertaken
the lining should be first cut and fitted,
using simple pattern as guide.
Discarded shirts of percale and ma
dras are used by many housewives for
making aprons. There Is a great va
riety of patterns for the smaller
aprons that are needed by every wom-
an who bushes herself at home with
housework or sewing. The skirts are
ripped up, washed and the material
pressed. The designers of patterns
have seen to 1t that a number of prac-
teal aprons are made up Of several
sections of cloth and this makes 1t
easy to cut them from other garments.

smoothing harrow. Where land must
be prepared by hand, 1t is good prac-
tice to pulverize the soil as much as
possible when spading 1t up, after
which II can be put In a fine condition
of mellowness with steel garden

sized, for II increases the water

more plant food available, and reduces

When to Plant Potatoes
The date Of planting necessarily
must be governed by climatic condi-
tons. In attempting to produce as
early a crop as possible, some risk
must always be incurred of the plants
being injured by late spring frosts.
AS general proposition, 1t is best to
plant potatoes as soon as there Is lit
tie likelihood Of killing frosts after
the plants are up and the ground is In
condition to work.
Depth to Plant.
Plant the small eye cuttings from
IL to 3 inches deep, depending upon
the character Of the soil--the lighter
the soil the greater the depth of plant
ing. Larger sets may be planted 4
inches deep.
- Spacing.
If an early variety is planted, and
the work is to be done by hand, the
rows may be spaced as close as &c
inches, whereas IL cultivation is to be
done with a horse, 80 to "a inches
usually Is allowed. In order to give
the gardener some idea of the num-
Der of sets required to plant a plot Of
ground 80 by 100 feet at different
spacings, the following table is sub
mired.
II a late variety is planted. the spac-
ing should be greater, say "a to 80
inches between the rows and II to Is

The small boy is not much occu-
pied with thoughts of his clothes, ex-
eept that he wants them to look like
those worn by his running mates.
Whether his shirtwaists, trousers or
coats are made at home and from ma
terials that have seen service before
being bequeathed to him, is no con-
Germ of his. Occasionally he takes a
proud satisfaction in the knowledge
that he is wearing clothes that his ia
Their or uncles have worn before him,
and In view Of the mounting cost Of
his belongings these sources of sup
ply should be considered.
Very good qualities in percales, ma
dras and silk are used for making

tear of laundering trays out collar
bands and cuffs long before the body
Of the shirts show any signs of wear.
The frayed cuffs and collar bands are
intolerable and the shirts are discard
ed. The soft-bosomed kind are used
by thrifty mothers to make waists for
their small boys. Silk shirts are often
made over into shirtwaists for girls
or grown-up members of the Family as

another time and took all the pretty
shiny copper and our doorknobs. They
removed our big bronze chandeliers
and even the little hinges from the

but they found all except a few door

Then they came again and took the

Whee-ee-eel Zingl Bang! There

the whole world was like that and I'm
free TO confess the first impression was
anything but favorable. Those Yep
pelins and their bombs were awfully
annoying; they made me nervous. Fur
thermore, cellar is no place In which
to be born. II gives one such a wrong
Idea Of home. OF course, know now
II was the best place for safety, but
then l didn't have my present view
point. That was about five years ago.
Yes, my entrance was quite dramatic.
You see, came just at the wrong time.
They were expecting the roof to fall in
at any minute and the atmosphere was
rather strained. II wasn't at all the
sort Of welcome q new member of a
family expects.
But, after all, hadn't much reason
to complain. AS soon as the Germans
took our town they stopped destroying
houses, because they wanted to keep
the city in good condition to live in
after they had won the war. q sup
pose they are sorry nOw.) Even at that
they weren't pleasant people to have
around. ! was asleep when they first
came TO our house I'd heard bang
ing outside, but didn't think anything
of 1t and went on sleeping. All of sud
den some one picked me up and he was
anything but gentle. l didn't like II
and | didn't like him, and said so in
very plain and forceful language. My
lungs and vocal cords were simply
worn out afterward. l surely was re-
lieved when my sister took me away
from him-and guess he was too.
But that was just the beginning.
When / saw another man in one of
those rat-colored costumes pull the
mattress off my crib and take out its
wool stuffing l was mad clear through.
And then l locked around and saw
they were doing the same thing to my
mothers bed. They took most of the
blankets, too. But what could we do?
My father wasn't there, because he had
gone somewhere else to fight and
was the only man in the house. had
tried kicking that German when he
first picked me up and l realized he
was too big for me to handle.
We hoped that one raid would be
the end of it, but it wasn't. Well. to
