There are two poems on the Battle
Of Fontenoy." I could not publish
either of them in the column, for they
are both long. But you can find them
at the Public Library, Thirteenth and
Locust streets. or, no doubt, at any
other library that would be more con :

another exclaimed, shes always COM

Mrs. Smith is that club member who
fuses because the room is not roaring

better fire, and then goes after him
five minutes later to know why the fire
isn't up yet. Shesis the one who thinks
that the telephone service in the build
ing is inexcusable, because the operators
do not answer the second she takes the
receiver off the hook. The service, that
she gets will always be poor, because
the operators recognize her voice now
and take their own time getting her
numbers-after all, telephone operators
are human in spite of the fact that they
seem to be nothing but voico.
Perhaps you have Mrs. Smith as a
neighbor. If you have, that accounts
for the languid way in which your land :
lord listens to your request for the serv-
ices of plumber, waves you ceremoni-
ously out of his Office. and forgets to
send the plumber. He has had so many
TRADES from Mrs. Smith about the way
her next door neighbors play the piano
until all hours of the night, allow their
dog to track over her nice clean porch
every time he goes OUT of the yard, hang

of interest in your complaints. he

The severest wear on solid tires is
caused by driving on the car tracks,

WANT TO DESTROY ALL LIQUOR.
Prohibitfonist VIII Ask Congress to
Act at Next Session.

Federal prohibition officials here
have decided to ask Congress to des-
troy 50,G00,000 gallons of liquor stored
under bond.
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer
is convinced that 100 percent. pro-
hibition cannot be achieved while
ty, exist in all sections of the coun-
try as continual temptation to law
violation More than 100000 worth
of bonded booze was stolen last week.
Most of it was taken by highwaymen
who held up trucks in which it was
being transported from one ware
house to another. In several cases
battles. ensued between the highway
men and the whisky truck guards,
with the result that the guards were
wounded.
Most Of the liquor now being sold
Illegally in many big cities came out
of the bonded warehouses in some
mysterious manner, prohibition Off
cials admit. Federal guards are MAIN
tained at many of the liquor storage
houses. Officials are also finding it
almost impossible to prevent the
forging and misuse of permits for the
purchase of bonded liquor. If the
bonded liquor were destroyed this big
difficulty would be removed, officials
argue. Without liquor in storage any
where in the country, prohibition en-
forcement would be a matter only of
guarding against smuggling and IL
legal manufacture or moonshining.
Federal prohibition officials now
have no authority to destroy confis-
Gated booze except where law viola
tions are detected. They will put the
plan of disposition of the vast stores
up to Congress when it conyenes in
December. This may prove the be-
ginning Of new wet and dry
fight
1t should provide new test of
strength of the opposing forces, which
are expected to clash within a few
months on the question at raodifioas
tion of the Volstead law.
The bonded liquor is worth at least
$3.50 100000 or at least SIS a gallon,
according to. present bootleg prices,
but many "drys" point out that the
liquor originally cost its owners
much less than S. gallon Hundreds
of owners bought warehouse certi-
ficates, "drys" say, after the States
ratified the prohibition amendment.
The "drys" contend that the public
purse should not be looted" in this
fashion. Under the prohibition laws
the liquor may not be exported and
its sale may be permitted only for
non-beverage purposes. Drys say
that % years must pass if the liquor
is to be sold legally for non beverage
purposes. They argue therefore that
the whisky has very slight market
possibilities and can be worth only a
small fraction of what it originally
cost to manufacture

American Eagle. Ornamentation should
be simple but artistic, owing its beauty
to the exactness of stitches; ease, ra-
ther than difficulty of making; and
beautiful combination of colors. In a
pillow it is usually better to confine
decoration to corners or borders.
Last year the prize list called for the
most beautiful practical sofa pillow.
Yet how many were really practical? /?
The same thing applies to all fancy
work. ChildTen's dresses, aprons and
house dresses. Time is money nowadays
Don't squander on something you are
not sure is worth while.
b The same rules apply to china paint
ing. The primary use of china is to
serve as receptacles of food and any
decoration ought not to interfere with
that object Who wants to scrape their
spoon over elaborate paintings. Any
way is not plate just as beautiful
with a dainty design or conventional
nous roses and cupids? Conventional
designs are considered better taste
than naturalistic ones.
We should like large exhibit Of re-
novated clothes slowing the saving of
goods. Anything you have which might
be good suggestion to someone
else just send it in
There are so many worth while
things for women to do nowadays that
prizes ought to be given for conserva-
tion of time as well as materials
