PRESSING AIDS GARMENTS

Preserving the shape of garment 1engthens its service. Almost anyone can learn to press clothing neatly. Woolen clothing should be covered with thoroughly dampened cloth and press ed with a moderately hot iron until nearly dry If the cloth becomes abso- lutely dry shine is likely to appear in the garment. Silk garments should be pressed very carefully; in fact, some times hanging a silk dress over a tub of steaming water will remove wrinkles without actually ironing. Washable white silk garments should be washed and rinsed in lukewarm water, wrapped in towel, and pressed with a warm, not hot, iron. Handled in this way they will not turn yellow for a long time Thor ough airing of clothes after wearing. out of doors if possible, will do much toward keeping them fresh and thus make them last longer.
 Shoes, more than many other articles of clothing, need to be thoroughly aired after wearing, to prevent precipitation from rotting the lining. Keeping shoes on shoe trees or stuffed with paper when not in use preserves their original shape. and is especially necessary if the shoes have become wet. Intense heat is like ly to crack leather therefore wet shoes should never be dried under the stove or on a register or radiator. They They should be dried slowly and if pos- sible ubbed from time to time to soft en the leather. The best plan is to keep the shoes from getting wet by wearing overshoes.

MOVEMENT OF COAL.

It is quite evident that the coal sit uation is far from being on satis- factory basis. Due to the priority order much coal is being shipped to New En- gland and this is to be seen on the rail roads and along the routes followed by the water transportation lines. New England is being supplied with fuel for it's immediate needs and to meet it's re- quirements during the winter, while the reserves which have been well depleted are being restocked. It is action that should have been started earlier. but in creased concern over the situation is caused by the reported agreement of the railroads to place an embargo on the movement of coal to tidewater except on definite showing that it will be un- loaded into vessels with reasonable promptness.
 Great difficulty has been experienced in getting sufficient cars to keep the mines going. For that reason it can be appreciated that it is an injustice to the railroads if the coal cars are kept stand ing at tidewater waiting to be dumped for a time which is far beyond the limit of reason for the cars must be kept in motion if coal production and transpor- tation are going to be maintained at a proper degree of efficiency.
 At the same time it is understandable that if the transportation facilities are not able to move all the coal that is available into this section that instead of causing congestion there is no reason why other sections which are in need of it should not get it, but when the rail- roads undertake to say that they will be the judge of the amount of coal provided to be transported by water it is open to the possibility of shutting off the amount New England gets.
 If it is not possible to get vessels enough to take the fuel away as fast as it is delivered at the loading point then the diversion of it to other points is req sonable. but first there should be every effort made to bring about a regulation of the water transportation that the complained of congestion may be elini- mated. Now that we are beginning to get the long awaited relief from coal shortage it is hardly the time for the railroads to put on an embargo which might upset it. This possibility simply emphasizes the still unsatisfac- tory method of coal production and dis tribution.

HEADED RIGHT WAY.

From the way in which the affairs of Mexico are being carried on under the present government there may be expec- tations that recognition will be granted by this government Recognition of course is desired and would be of great value to the new regime so that there is good reason or conducting affairs there so as to make a good impression on this side of the line. Not so long ago it was reported that this government was ready to extend recognition if Mexico would make certain guarantees This, however, had been denied by the state department which declares that there has been no assurance whatever given of recognition of the de faeto government.
 Nevertheless the situation in Mexico today appears to be manifestly better than it was under Carranza and even far better than it was at the time when this government extended recognition to Carranza's government. Mexico isn't go- ing to become all that it should in a minute but interior conditions are stead fly undergoing improvement. We have seen the de faeto government show strength which, while claimed by Car ranza was never displayed by him. There has been a welcome ending of the | trouble caused for many years by Villa. His retirement from the career of ban dit means much to that country and is a credit to the present government which has likewise put an end to other disturbing elements.
 Mexico is in fact showing sincere evi- dence of turning from internal strife to peace time pursuits with indications of a determination to respect the righs of other countries and to work for the up- building rather than the destruction of Mexico. The change is a happy one and l it is to be sincerely hoped that the inn provement shown will continue and it seems certain that if such is the case and the government of that country lives up to it's obligations as it should that 1t cannot be long before the much coveted recognition will be secured and the benefit of the closer relations and an ever ready friend obtained Mexico ap- pears to be headed the right way to get 1 if

THE POLISH RESISTANCE.

Just so long as the Polish forces con tinue to drive back the Russians. take prisoners and booty and thus frustrate the efforts of the bofsl1ev wiki, it will work to the advantage of their repre- sentatfves in coming to terms with the soviet government. With the Poles on the run backward the argument of might was not available for their rep resentatives who are endeavoring to ar range an armistice, but with the Polish army, assisted by the civilians blocking the advance of the enemy, recapturing several towns and threatening the cut ting of of large part of the soviet army, it is evident that the appeals for 2 haidng of the fighting and the terms proposed by the Poles will be received with increased respect.
 The Poles have not been disposed to go to the soviet government on their knees and they have not been inclined to overlook their rights in such demands as they have made but the new display of strength on the part of the Polish forces gives them the necessary backing just at this time while insisting upon their claims.
 The operations against the bolsheviki have huctnated along all fronts. There have been bright days for the soviet forces and equally encouraging ones la ter on for thefr opponents Just at pres

 All over embroideries will be used on many fall hats. They are usually Of heavy floss or narrow braid, and among the metallic effects copper is most in evidence. Narrow copper braid is used for banding.

CHAIRMAN HAYS ANSWER.

When Chairman Hays of the repub- Ecan national committee spoke in Maine at Augusta it was for the purpose of assisting in the campaign now under way there for the state election. Maine kas long been regarded as the barome- ter state There have been times when it indicated very strongly what the coun- try was going to do in November at the presidential election and there have been 2 few instances when the country did not so as Maine did But Maine is a republican state and it is but natural that efforts should be made there to let the campaign reflect as far as it will the interest in the national election less than two months later.
 Chairman Hays therefore took occa- sion to emphasize the duty of the Maine republicans in September but he also considered that it was time to direct the country's attention to the false state mems which are being made by the can didates on the democratic ticket relative to republican campaign funds. Appar- ently Messrs. Cox and Roosevelt think they are telling the country something even though one figures the republican campaign fund at just twice the amount the other does, but when Chairman Hays declares that By reason of the enlarged electorate and the greatly increased cost of all things. we figure that there will be required a total of about $3 000, 900, an average of about ten cents per voter and reiterates the statement made a number of weeks ago that the campaign fund would be secured through limited subscriptions and that if such is not possible it will be so stated publicly and the subscription limitation raised, it puts 9 crirnp in the democratic claims which brands them as having no foundation whatever and put forth simply for the purpose of building their own campaign on false statements regarding their op- po1ents.
 Chairman Hays does not meet the democratic claims by throwing back sim liar charges. but in a statement of fact T. was an answer that will carry far more weight with the people than all the wild talk of the democratic candidates.

COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.

Sugar has dropped from the peak prices. It is lowering around the price per pound that we used to get pounds per dollar not so many years ago and while 20 to 25 cents pound is being paid now there are those who believe that they can see the time in the not dis tant future when 1t will be put over the counter for Is to 12 cents a pound Af- ter having been up to 32 and s3 cents a pound the drop to present prices is an courage the laying in of large stocks be- cause of the belief that it must continue to get cheaper.
 The price of sugar went to the top notch in spite of the efforts of the gov erument to prevent it and to punish those who were profiteering and it has also come down in spite of and not be- cause of them. The downward trend is due to the fact that the holding from the market Of large quantities of sugar disclosed to countriea which had not previously sought this market that there was an opportunity to make big money by shipping sugar here. The result was that II came in in such quantities that il threatened to leave the speculators high and dry with their large stocks. Their plan 10 corner the business had succeed cd up to that time but when thera
 poured into the country a sufficient amount to affect the price and the law of supply and demand began to get ir it's effect it was a signal to the specula tors to release their supply if they were going to avoid large losses.
 The country is therefore getting the benefit of the changed situation, and with another sugar crop coming and the beet sugar fields producing more than ever while other countries are still for. warding their sugar here there appears to be justification for the predictions oi still lower prices. There = is nothing however for the administration to crow about. Had it done as it should have done year ago the price of sugaI would not be what it is today and the people would have been saved millions and millions of dollars. In connection with the whole question of high cost oi living it cannot be forgotten that peak and prevailing prices for sugar could have been avoided.

Children and Their Clothes

Did it ever occur to you that even little children can often do quite little to help make their own clothes? No,
 not in putting in fine henas and tucks,
 for though little children can be taught
 to take fine stitches, we do not tax their
 nerves and eyes in that way nowadays. What they can do is to help with the ornamentation. So often the smartest
 froeks are worked with the ooahsest stitches. Often the stitches are taken
 in coarse mercerized bright colored cot ton or in wool. Groups of blanket stitch in long and short are worked in two colors to make an effective finish. Sometimes in gingham or other fabric of checked design a trimming row is
 made by filling alternate squares with a simple design, such as a polka dot, a flower or cross stitch. Children might l be shown how to do this.
 | Rick-rack braid is seen as the sole ] trimming for several of the most at- l tractive of newly designed frocks for children. This is, of course, machine
 stitched down. Usually it is used in white on colored and white fabric. Then
 again the rick-rack is dyed to match one tone of the fabric.

SUGGESTIONS FOR

THE HOUSEWIFE
 Lemon juice improves white fish salad.
 Keep on hand a small brush for wash ing vegetables. Lemon juice will improve the flavor of stewed figs. | Egg and milk dishes should be baked | in slow oven. | It is quite true that monotony will kill a healthy appetite. ] After heavy dinner serve a fruit das- | sert or an ice. l Stockings which are stained from the l inside leather of shoe can be cleaned | if one teaspoonful of borax is put in the
 water in which they. are washed. The bacon rinds are good either baked | with beans, boiled with cabbage, or they
 can be put into the oven and the finest kind of dripping will be toasted out of 1 them.
 1 Not one crumb of bread should be
 thrown away. Stale bread can be used
 for bread pudding, hotcakes, brown Betty, croutons, bread crumbs and many other things
 l Pencil marks on boys cuffs should be removed with an eraser before sending 1 the garments to the laundry. | When you remove the waste from your l carpet-sweeper carefully remove the lint 1 from the revolving brush. Then with a
 woolen cloth dipped in kerosene, rub the 1 bristles thoroughly. The oil preserves
 the rising of dust when the carpet is l swept and brightens its coIors. | Mineral wool makes the quickest pos sible securing for the vegetable knife
 by the way.
 If there are mixing bowls that didn't get washed while the meal was prepar- i ing try scraping off the Ioughy mix i ture that clings to them with half a used
 postcard or an old visiting card. The
 cardboard hugs close to the glaze, mak- ing clean scrape.
 A palatable way to serve cold boiled
 potatoes is to put them through the
 sieve, season them well with butter and salt, form into cones and brown in the | oven

Stories That Recall others
Taking No Chances

Six year old Bob came running into the house swinging in his hand paper bag.
 Mother" he called, 'has Helen still got the toothache?"
 Helen was his nine year old sister and she having heard the question answered it herself. NO, it's well. Why?" she returned.
 "oh, I was going to have you keep my candy till I got hungry for the rest of it, but if your tooth is we'll II take care of it mysef."
 Not Stumped by Tinsmith
 After getting the price from tin tinsmith for putting on a new gutter the owner of the house exclaimed, Why man I would never pay that price. I'll put in on myself first"
 But now stop and think; you would have to buy level, to say nothing oi other things, just to put on that little piece of gutter" argued the timer. q don't see where you would save any money"
 The owne: scratched his head, but he wasn't stumped. In a minute he repli- ed, Say Don't you think I have enough brains to know that all I've got to do is to pour a bucket of water ir that gutter. If the water runs out guess the job will do."

Crepe or Summer Silk Good Croice


 Crepe is a practical and serviceable material for seashofe frocks, since it is not easily nussed and requires little or no pressing.
 Thin muslins, etc, do not make very practical morning or afternoon frocks for shore wear, though of course they are included in many wardrobes. Cot ton voiles, devoid of stiffening, keep their freshness better than do organ dies, batistes and fabrics of similar 1 character. But, of course. if one does not mind pressing the sheer materials after each wearing they will give ex- cellent service. And they certainly arg attractive, particularly in the bright 1 shades in vogue this season. Some of the silks on the modish list | make decidedly useful frocks for sea. shore and fonlardG ""e perhaps the most serviceable of all.
 i Shantung dyed or in natural tone, is | always liked and this year one notes many frocks and wraps of this mater ial. One attractive model for instance was of green shantung. It was fash | toned in one piece and had no trimming save for elaborate braiding on the large 1 pockets, belt, collar and cuffs. There was small upstanding collar of sheer | white muslin.

NrrpIEwORK NOTES

Cheesecloth makes pretty and inexpen- sive curtains. Choose a good quality and finish the edges with ball fringe-or turn a hem over on the right side and mark it with narrow braid, white or colored, stitched neatly in place.
 A very effective curtain is made of scrim and is put on curtain rods, both top and bottom. Stretch the curtains tight; they can be washed and hung when wet This stretches and dries them at the same time. It saves time and doesn't make curtain washing a burden, This kind of curtain is especially at tractive when draping of some kind hung with it.
 When preparing to hem table linen, save all the threads that are pulled in strengthening the edges. Then, when the linen comes to mending stake, use these threads you have saved, to darn it with. The result is that the mended place is scarcely noticeable because of the linen thread being used instead of cotton.

ent the silver lining of the dark cloud is visible to both the Poles and the an- ti-bolshevik forces under General wran- gel. There has been turn in the tide which threatened to sweep the Poles out of Warsaw. How serious it will be for
 the bolsheviki depends upon their ability
 to get out of their present predicament after having pushed ahead long dis
 tance from their bases and then met with reverses.
 Now, as on previous occasions, the so- viet government is insisting that it is anxious for peace. Apparently there is nothing standing in the way of it pro l vided it is disposed to deal fairly with the Poles in the terms both of the ar
 niistice and the peace agreement That l it.. latest effort has not crushed Poland
 cannot fail to impress it with the re sistnig power of those people, and tht
 fact that Poland will not submit pas sively to soviet domination.

ORGASDIFS.

Anybody who may have witnessed pre- commencement functions at a woman's college this year has been impressed with the endless variety in color, texture and model of the organdy dresses that ap- peared on the campus. And they are trimmed with frillings set in the skirt dicularly-friliings not more than an inch and a half wide-or in three tucks running round the bottom of the skirt and the lower edge of the sleeves Hats made by the girls thef1seivs tc match the color of the organdy and con sisting of folds of silk were common Al a garden party at Wellesley college, ir mid-June, for instance. one hardly saw g white dress, but the pinks lavenders and. above all the shades of greer brought out in the fluffy organdy gown: worn by hundreds of pretty girls were ravishing,
