Efficient HOUSEKEEPING
By LAURA A. KIRKMAN.

camp out in; good jack-knife;
a punching bag for his room;
books; lessons in something In
which he is interested-perhaps a
correspondence school course. You
you will note that all these things
1 have suggested, hinge on the idea
of keeping the boy busy, which is
the one great need of an active
young person; IL he has something
to do, he's happy.
M. K.-"Please tell me how to
remove food stains from a grass
rug used in the dining room, and
also from a small plush rug used
In that room"
Answer: Scrub the grass rug
with cold water in which you have
dissolved enough ordinary table
salt to make it quite briny. Cleanse
the plush rug with gasoline (but.
as gasoline is inflammable, do not
use it near heat or flame.)
M. G. XVIII you please tell
me what is meant by a rose jar
and how to make one?"
Answer: A rose jar Is a fancy,
wide-mouthed bottle (small and
round) in which you have placed
rose leaves and perfume. Rose
Jars are made for their fragrance
and are generally kept in the liv-
ing room, where they diffuse a
delicate odor which is delightful.
But the time to start making a
rose jar is in June and early July
when roses are abundant. How
ever, I will give you the recipe for
making one:--
To Make a Rose Jar: Pick fresh
rose petals and dry them In the
sun for Q days, then pack them
in a -mouthed jar in layers
with a sprinkling of ordinary ta-
BILE salt between each layer. When
the jar is full, turn the petals out
on large sheet of paper and mix
them thoroughly with this mixture
(Which any drug store will put
lup): 2 drachms alcohol 10 drops
bergamot, 20 drops EUCALYPTUS oil,
4 drops oil Of roses, IL teaspoon
cloves, / ounce orris root, Ia tea
spoon cinnamon, IL teaspoon
mace, 1 ounce any preferred sach-
ct powder, and drops oil of or
ange. Put the petals back into
the jar, and the work Is completed.
Some rose-jars have perforated
covers, some are perforated on the
sides, but If you wish to use any
Jar you have. simply tip the cork
or cover of 1t slightly-so that the
aroma may escape.

ENORMOUS INTERNATIONAL TRADE.

Some figures as to the enormous total of interna-
tional trade in the 1920 are now available and
they show that the commerce of the world in round
numbers. aggregated the immense sum of $780,
0o00o0O00 in the twelve months. In the year which
marked the beginning of the the stated value OF
the worlds trade $40 900, 900 o0O and this had
grown to $6s 000 600 in the closing year of the
war. One especially interesting feature of this COM
parison Of world trade In 1920 with that of few
years ago lies in the increasing share which United
States manufactures form of world trade. Prior to
the war we supplied but about one-sixth of the
manufactures entering International trade and in
1920 ons-third.
Lately there have been printed statistics showing
large decrease in American exports in the last few
months, as compared with year ago. In the light
of figures like those quoted above the decline is only
natural and might almost be termed movement
in the direction of normal conditions. Foreigners re-
duced their purchase Of foreign goods, much as
Americans reduced their buying of goods, both do
nestle and foreign. The whole world was engaged in
an orgy of buying and this wholesale purchasing has
ceased Comparisons of present trade made with the
situation look much serious than it really is.

plain and flat. 1t is no trouble at
all to iron them smooth with a hot
flat. Let me try while you sit in the

The cool garden seemed very nice
to Nurse Jane, and she was tired
and hot. So she brought out the
ironing board for Uncle Wiggilv,
showed him where the pile OF
dampened handkerchiefs were. and
pointed to the flatiron heating on
the stove.

irons are hot, and If you let them
stand too long on a handkerchief
you'll burn a big hole"

the bunny. II know that! But I'll
keep the hot flat moving. l won't
scorch the handkerchief"
So he started to work. while
Nurse Jane, very thankful and
happy, sat out under the grape
vine and rested. Uncle Wiggily
knew little about laundry work,
and. really, 1t was not hard to push
a hot flat over a flat handkerchief
on the board, The bunny had iron
ed half a dozen or so, and then
found that his iron was getting
cold

stove" he said and he did. He was
just beginning 10 give this iron a |

calling him at the side door.

So Uncle Wiggily, leaving his hot

very slowly, and 1t took him s)me

recent reactionary trend. Numer-
Gus speculative issues established
new low records for the year but
these were recovered in the vigor-
GUS rebound of the last hour.
Apart from a favorable forecast
Of Mexican Petroleum's earnings
and some activity in the steel trade
there was no specific news to ac-
count for the sudden reversal.
Technical conditions or an over ex-
tension of the shorts probably were
accelerating factors.
Prices were lower by one to four
points in the first half Of the ses-
sion. Bears made capital of fur
Their dividend reductions and omis-
sicns and the retention of the s
per cent rate for call money. that
rate holding throughout the day.
Oils were the outstanding features,
especially foreign issues. Prior to
publication of Mexican Petroleum's
prospective financial returns that
stock, as we'll as Pan-American,
Shell Transport and Royal Dutch
were under constant pressure.
Independent steels and second
airy equipment. which are depend
ent upon the railroads for their
srstenance also suffered variable
setbacks, with motor. chemical and
food and fertilizer issues. New
York Air Brake was the one stock
to manifest little recuperative
power, declining five points. Sales
amounted to 475,000 shares.

part on buying for German ac-
count and limitations that i'm

UNCLE wIGGILY AND THE
HANDKERCHIEFS.
BY Howard B. CARTS


"Dear mel" exclaimed Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy one morning,
as she hoped about the kitchen Of
the hollow stump bungalow. Dear
me! / wish Mr.. Whitewash, the po-
lar bear gentleman, would come
along now with a dozen cakes of
ice!"
why wish for so many?" asked
Uncle Wiggily who was just fin
ishing his breakfast of honey sauce
and carrot marmalade. isn't there
ice in the ice box?"
Eyes, but I'd like two dozen big
cakes to cool off my Kitchen" went
on Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. "dou see ]
have to iron some clothes today,
and it's going to be very hot, espec-
tally as / have to heat the flatirons
on the stove"
That's So" agreed Uncle wig
gily. "It's too bad, Nurse Jane. that
you have to do SO much of the hot
and hard work"
That's what / get for being a
lady. Generally I don't care, but
1t is very hot today. and have
so many of your handkerchiefs to
iron. But never mind"
"oh, yes. shall mind" quickly
cred the bunny rabbit. and his pink
nose twinkled like anything. II
shall mind, Nurse Jane! I'm not
going to have you tire yourself all
out in a hot kitchen ironing my
handkerchiefs. I want you to go
right out of the garden and sit un-
der tree"
"That is very kind OF you, Uncle
wiggily." said Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy,
"but who will iron the handker-
chiefs?"
II will" cred the brave bunny
gentleman.
"You?" exclaimed Nurse Jane
"Why you can't iron"

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Unfavorable
reports about general business
conditions gave an advantage to-
day TO the bears in the wheat mar
ket. Prices closed heavy, 2Ac tc
&c net lower. with September
$1.19h to $1.19M and December
$1.20s4 to S1.21. Corn lost NC tc
u to lie, oats Nc to nc and pro-
visions 15c to Soc.
Attention of traders In wheat
conferred largely on official an
nouneement that 100000 people
are out Of work in the United
States.
Federal reserve board state
ments about factors operating
against business progress were like
wise given much notice. and so too
were fresh declines in the New
York stock market. and in foreign
exchange. The bulls were further
handicapped by assertions that es-
Inmates of yesterdays export bust
ness had been greatly exaggerated.
On the resulting breaks In wheat
prices, houses with eastern con-
nections did good deal Of buying,
AS rule, however, longs showed
an increased desire to liquidate
their holdings, and with bears OPP
Grating more extensively rallies
failed to last. Notwithstanding that
country offerings were light.
Corn and oats descended lower
than any other time for this sea-
son. Demand was OF only a scat
tering character.
Sharp downturns in the provi-
sion market were brought about by
the weakness of grain and by a
decided tumble in the value of
hogs.

AHrock Tells
Hou to Start
Pitcher's.Te
By Nick Altrock,

Coach of the Washington Ma
,tionals.
1t takes a ready wit to worry
the opposing pitcher enough to
spoil his work. A steady line
OF talk directed at him and re-
quiring an occasional reply from
him. will get his mind off his
duty and make him forget his
game. Getting his goat" is, in
other words, what is necessary.
There are some nervy pitchers
who are hard to rattle, but it
makes no difference who they
are, they all fall sooner or later.
Once you succeed in drawing a
know he is weakening.
OF course. as soon as a man
ager sees his pitcher is losing
control and becoming ratified he
will take him out and put in
another. But this generally hap
pens so late in the game that
it is too late to save 1t.
Worrying the infelders is
something any coach might well
undertake to do. A funny per-
formance of some kind staged in
either first or third base coach
ing boxes to take the infielders'
attention off the batter often
brings disastrous results to the
team in the field. The infielders
are watching the coacher too
closely, you see. and bing! goes
the ball right over their heads.

NEW YORK, April -27.-Peopis
who believe that only the mediocre
man likes to strut should study the
SUCCESSFUL New Yorker. History re-
peats itself and the smartest men
are the most vain. Most OF US have
laughed at the late Diamond Jim"
Brady strutting with half-pint dia-
monds in his shirt up and down the
theater aisle. And yet Brady was
one Of the greatest salesmen in
America and was a millionaire.
Caesar 10 always represented with
q laurel wreath on his head. He did
It to hide his badness. The worlds
richest man wears q toupee and is
said to have a special wig maker.
One Of the highest-paid comedians,
who does not hesitate to make him
self a clown on the stage, pays .
press agent $4,000 a year to make
the public believe that he Is q great
scholar. He is, as a matter of fact.
sadly lacking in education.
The Diamond Horseshoe at the
Metropolitan is a mute testimonial
to the successful New Yorker's de-
sire to strut. A box costs a for
tune year. The occupants are
generally bored to death with op-
eras that they have heard time AFT
er time. and they come when the
performance is half over merely to
show their ropes of pearls. tiaras
and gowns. The real lovers OF
music are perched perilously in the
gallery.

The temperament Of stage and

The fact that nearly every member
