ERzRERGER,s END.

That the war has not served to elinni- nate the assassin and those who are willing to get rid of prominent public official by the cowardly method of as- sassination is well disclosed by the kill ng of Matthias Erzberger, ex-vice pre- mier of Germany, who was shot down while walking in the famous Black For est by two men who escaoed.
 Just what was the reason for desir- ng him out of the way is not disclosed. Investigation or capture of the guilty ones will establish that, although Erz- berger was man who invited enemies and any one of several reasons might De advanced as the ones that caused them to indulge in murder.
 He was a leader in the centrist par ty He was also"a signer of the armis- tice and back in 1917 he urged in the reichstag a peace by agreement without annexations. He had had a prominent part in German politics and so deeply had he gotten into disputes and so open ly had he invited opposition that he had been termed the most hated man in Germany. Likewise he had been repeat edly warned of the probability cf just
 
 Apparently as fearless of his personal safety as he was in advocating his causes in politics he gave too little heed to protection.
 Significant is it that his end came by assassins' bullets at time when he was planning to reenter politics. Thus there appears to be number of reasons which may have prompted the killing even though none of them warranted such taking of life. He was a man who had played prominent part in the affairs of Germany for decade or more He was one of the strong back CTS of the present government and his removal means R directly blow there 70. Although given to compromise he was not only whose career was by any means marked by such action. He has been a prominent figure in Germany and he will figure conspicuously in that country's history during the war period.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

At no time should baby be taught to walk by the use of any contrivance. He will attempt ot walk as soon as muscles and bones are strong enough.
 Irritability of the stomach, loss of ap- petite, dyspeptic symptoms after patak- ing of food, dizziness, nausea and yonit- ing are often caused by eye strain. After the eyes are examined and glasses are worn, the symptoms disappear. Children during the period of school life who fre- quently suffer from headache, loss of ap- petite and dizziness and are behind in their work should have their eyes exam ined and the eye strain relieved by pre- scribed glasses.
 If you have a red nose your digestion probably needs looking after, and you will have to treat the affiiction locally by rubbing and tapping the nose to scatter the congested blood If you have black heads you should steam the nose by holding hot wet cloths over it, and then use cleansing cream, or better yet, the blackhead cleansing powder. A certain amount can be done in the Way of keep ing the skin fine and clear and white by massaging the nose from it's top between the eyes to it's tip.
 Sunshine is the housewife's best anti septic. It is hard for a cold to thrive in a house uooded ln sunshine. Even If the members of your household are not at home during sunshiny hours, if they sit at night and sleep in rooms that have been flooded in sunshine and fresh air during the daytime they will reap the benefit. So forget the fact that sunshine fades rugs and hangings and let the sun shine in for all it is worth during those months when the sunshine is none too strong. anyway. Pull up your curtains and shades as high as they will go and let this greatest of antidotes come in.

CONCERNING LINGERIE.

The process of elimination has been carried to extremes in the matter of lingerie and few but fine sums up what woman wears or should wear these days and nights Simplicity of line characterizes the best of the new things. There Is. for instance, seal loped combination gay with trimming of cabbage roses made of the crepe de chine Sborn of the roses, 1t becomes simple enough for any one and would be attractive made in null or cotton goods if for some reason crepe de chine does not appeal There could be no sjrDler way than tying the waist with ribbon and lowing it in the front. If ones fancy runs to pleated combina- ton. the softest materials must of course be chosen.
 frock having either wide skirt or one that is made wide by distending the hips, will hang all the better for the added fullness the pleated comhi- nations will give. To be sure, there are corbinatio with straight pleated skirts-as Scotch in line as the kits of the HighIanders.- and these are safe to wear with straight line frocks and are to be commended since their pleating makes them reasonably shadow proof. This is a point in favor also of a black satin princess slip with black Chantilly lace motifs which is designed to be worn under a black lace frock and is in truth a part of the frock itself. since it is clearly visible Much care should be exercised in selecting the underslip to be seen through a diaphanous gown. Some frocks, like some clouds have sil- yer Things, but whethe< they are sil- yer literally Or figuratively, they should be beautiful and never give the sugges- tion of being lingerie and not slip.

WOODLANDS IN EASTERN STATES.

However much interest develops 1t can be safely said that there is every reason why there should be several times as much in the annual meeting this week in New Hampshire of the so- ciety for the protection of the forests Of that state. That commonwealth contains a large amount of forest .and, large amount of which is included in the government reservation, and while New Hampshire is unquestionably able to take care of it's problems in rela- ton to forests there is good and sdf1i- cisrt reason why there should he in at tendance those representatives from other North Atlantic states who have been invited to be present
 It is al such conferences that valuable Information regarding conditions and the means of solving problems are given broad discussion. There are few states ln this part of the country today that are not interested in the question of forest development and protection and there is rlenty Of room for the devel- opment of such interest
 With Connecticut showing a decrease h the amount of improved land during the past decade there might be some salvation if 1t were a fact that the change means corresponding increase in the woodland of the state and re- torestation. l. was not so long ago that attention was called to the fact that millions of dollars were being spent each year in freight charges alone for the bringing into the state of lumber which could with the proper effort be grown within it's borders.
 To this New Hampshire conference delegates have been requested from all states between the Canadian boundary and the Chesapeake bay. Whatever may be the outcome there can be no question but what those who attend will have an interesting story of what needs to be done to present to their respective Etates at the conclusion, and it is not to be forgotten that it is just such facts relative Co state and national efforts concerning forests that get in creased attention. There is every req. son why the states in this part of the country should do their duty regarding Inc production A greater proportion ot the timber they require and by SC ioing make substantial inroads into the waste lands of the state.

NEW BOARD v1NDICArED.

The latest step thus far recorded in connection with the shipping board and the United States Mail Steamship con1- pany brings them right back to the point where they were when the gov ernment seized the ships. except that all that has taken place in the meantime has served to pile up the expense and bring to light conditions which show how that corporation has been attempt ing to do business and at the same time how easy it seems to be to make the government agency responsible for all soTIs or poor management
 The nine former German liners that were seized have been flying the Amer Ncan flag and being taken over by the shipping board will continue to do SOL The change doesn't mean the decreaset of the nag upon the high seas, but thd action of the receivers of the company following the surprising revelations which they have encountered fully jus tifies the action that was instituted by the shipping board several week1 ago. Efforts to cover ID the bad conditions, the poor management and the situation which was steadily getting worse threat ened for time to succeed. In view Of the fact that the shipping board must shoulder debt of s1,20o 900 due to inn migrants and that had it been allowed to continue the losses would have mounted to Immeasureable sums the temporary success of the legal efforts of the company show to what extent jus tice can be obstructed and chicanery ahetted for limited lime even 10 the embarrassment of those suffering and undertaking to put an end to improper conditions.
 The disclosures concerning this steam ship company seem to indicate another instance of profiting at the expense of the shipping board and the easy meth Ods which 1t has pursued in the past. Happily 1t is indicated that those days are at an end, and the present board by the new turn is vindicated.

SUGGESTIONS FOR


 THE HOUSEWIFE Radishes can be boiled and served with cream sauce.
 A casserole is household necessity. Chopped watercress makes 8 good sandwich filling.
 Olmonds should be browned and salt ed day before using.
 Never pour gravy over meat that is to be carved at the table
 cornstarch used as thiekenins should be thoroughly cooked
 Add little salt when cooking sour fruits. Less sugar Is then required. Tomatoes may be stuffed with chop ped onions, tomato pulp and bread crumbs and baked
 Fish is delicious a Ia king. A little added.
 Cocoa will be more digestible if it is cooled, the globu4es of fat removed anG then relocated.
 Arrange rounds of crispy toasted bread in the bottom of the soup tureer before pouring the soup over them. Glaced raisins are wholesome for chil. dren. Season the sugar with oil of cin anon, clove, or peppermint.
 If you are troubled by ants or mict mix little borax and sugar and pu it where they will find it.
 For picnics little individual layer cakes can be baked in tiny pans and pu together with jeIy or fudge filling.

sKIRTs ARE TO RE LoNGER

There is one clothes question that is at the moment uppermost in the minds of nine women out of ten. Are skirts really going to be ionger-and, if so, how much longer?" They are to be longer. &C., cording to Vogue. Longer, translated, means eight inches off the ground for street clothes-not much chance for dust sweeping there-and two to four inches in the evening.
 Next in importance to skirt lengths comes the question of silhouettes. First comes the suit, which, due to Parisian enthusiasm, is perhaps more popular thain in several seasons. This year it $ made, very likely, of kasha cloth or broadcloth, called back into favor.
