binary lamp socket. The electric
candle and wreath make safe and
attractive decoration. and can be
used more than one season.
Fort Bliss will very likely install

tract with the local light and power
company which will Snate the use
of electricity economical for such
purposes. Fort Bliss has its own

Can woman be q great artistic
and home-maker at the same
time?
Lenora Sparkes, the beautiful
English soprano who is one of the
reigning favorites of the Metropol-
itan Opera company, New York,
and Of the concert stage. declares
that the greater the artistic the
greater will be her capacity for
splendid e-building. Having
been q member of the Metropolitan
company for the past six years,
Miss Sparkes has had ample op-
portunity to form a fair judgment
in the matter.
1.-THE woman who achieves big
things artistically has breadth
of vision born of big experience
which never comes to her sister
who Is limited by the four walls of
a home. Instead Of lessening her
ability to make splendid home
artistic achievement enhances IT..
1t enables her to bring into a
freshness which she could net
otherwise do.
The artistic woman Is more In
terest1ng TO her husband and her
children because of her contact with
people who are doing big things in
the world. 1t teaches her things
about this world which makes her
much better pal to the man who
is her husband, and much better
guide to the children whose train
ing Is in her keeping. I believe
that every girl should develop her
talents no matter how small they
may be and use them when they
are developed. I think 1t wicked
thing to bury ones gift. God in
tends 1t to make the world happy,
and he or she, who possesses 1t
has no right to fold 1t away from
the world. To me my voice is just
as sacred an obligation as my
home. and neither suffers because
of the otherp ~

For daughter there are electric
curling irons, chatting dishes. samo-
vars, tea kettles. disc stoves. bou-
doir lamps, etc. The electric curl

HOUSE DRESSES
MADE PRETTIER
BY MOTO-MAIDS

House dresses as they are used
today, bear very little relation to
those early. undesirably ugly gar
ments worn by our ancestors and
which were strictly unitarian gar
ments meant for wear while doing
homework in and around theN
homes.
1t is only very recently that any
attempt has been made to make
this important item Of woman's
wardrobe attractive. In fact. the
idea of combining attractiveness
with general utility Is that OF very
recent origin. One of the best
known lines of house dresses had
its beginning in new style kitchen
apron only about five years ago.
Lately it has been proved that
strong durable fabrics can be gaily
colored, that charming styles can
be followed In ginghams as in
silks and that adorable, practical
little house frocks can be well
made at just as reasonable prices
as the drab, colorless house dress
es of old. says the Dry Goods Econ
omist.
The important reason why these
new house dresses have become
possible and practical is due large
ly to the improvement In appliance
es for doing homework. Done the
old way, housework was dirty
work and drudgery was the word
applied to it. One always put on
old or cast off clothes to do it..
Cookery always had it's concomi-
tants of SCOT, smoke, ashes and
dust.
The advent of the electric range
with its clean uniform heat lifted
cookery out of the dust and ashes.
The modern Cinderella has been
able to don better clothes because
she has better ranges and utensils
to work with. She now has many
moto-maids or electrical appliance
es that do the hard work of the
kitchen so 1t is quite possible to
wear better and prettier house
frocks

EVIDENCE WANTED

The people of the United
States are willing to extend the
time Of payment Of the principal
of the debts due this country
from European nations, and will
not oppose extension Of time for
payment of interest if there is
evidence of need for such defer
ment. But it will be difficult to
make an American taxpayer be-
lieve that European nations are
unable to pay the interest if they
have plenty of money with
which to pay subsidies in order
that their industries may cap
ture part of the trade now en-
ioyed by the United States. The
creditor in private transactions
is inclined to look incredulous
when his debtor asks for post
ponement of interest payments
at the same time that he is gall
wanting round in a highpower-
ed pleasure automobile.

SHIP OF STATE

Washington, July 1s.--Drawing a
picture of the condition of the FEEDER
al Government when taken over by
the Harding Administration, the Rs
publican Publicity Association,
through its President, Hon Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., says:
"Can you imagine sea captain
sailing his ship recklessly for eight
years, grounding it on the schoals,l
smashing its sides against the rocks,
letting barnacles accumulate on it's
bottom, leaving the hull Imprinted,
permitting the sails to be torn into
tatters, disabling the rudder throwing
away the flag, then taking the old
hulk to a shipyard for repairs, and
complaining because the shipwrights
are able to get the vessel into perfect
condition in few weeks? Yet that
is exactly what the Democratic Party
has done with this old Ship Of State.

RUM RUNNERS CAR GOES OVER
HIGH BANK-THREE HURT

Clarksburg July 1S.-Three men
are in a hospital and two are in Jail,
while all five are charged with violat-
ing the state prohibition law, the re-
suit of an automobile accident Sum
day morning at Quiet Dell, in which
all narrowly escaped with their lives.
The hospital patients are Grin Auten

lost both legs below the knees in a
railroad accident and whose leg. was
above the knee: Sherman Boham of
Philippi, who suffered broken arm
and bruises; Thomas Jefferies of Phil
ippi,who received several deep cuts on
the head when hurled through the
windshield of the car. George Auten
and Harry May of Philippi were sill
ghtly bruised and cut The automo-

ing for the company of which he
is now the head, at a wage of So
per week. That is interesting
and worth telling to the young
people of the country. But it
wasn't a $3-a-week beginning
that enabled him to get to the
head of a large manufacturing
concern. 1t is safe bet that he
never began to watch the clock
an hour before quitting time,
that he didn't leave any of his
own work for someone else to do,
and that he was always ready
to takeion little more response
bility whenever the boss picked
him out for a bigger job.

INFRINGEMENT

sFalse economy" is the anSw-
er many bureaucrats give to any
demand for a reduction of err
penditures, and it is sometimes
a very plausible answer. Almost
any man can demonstrate that
it would be real economy in the
end to increase his expenditures.
Nevertheless every business man
finds himslf compelled to regu-
late his exuenses in accordance
with his income, and the govern
ment must do the same. Presi-
dent Harding is entitled to the
cooperation of all his subordin-
ates in his retrenchment pro-
gram, and will be commended by
the people according to the mea-
sure of success he attains.

LAMBERT FOR PETITION

In the opinion of Congress-

addition to direct appeal by the

bies or all kinds should be pro-
hibited", declares Mr.. Lampert,

striction that wouldcompel them

Under the practice in vogue at

with Hobbies abolished, that me-
thod Of appeal to Congress

the heat that matches on the mantle
in the sitting room were set afire. A

Your life energy is a train
that is speeding along the habit

you want it to go another way
try a different method from
tearing up the rails, If the hab-
it is undesirable, you can con-
troll it by building new and
stronger habit of the right kind
to which your energy train can
be sent.

track that will carry it where
youwish. If you try to "break
