If YOU DON'T LIKE
VARNISH FLOORS.

Several of my Readers have
written to say that they don't
want a vanished surface on their
hard wood floors, and would ap-
preciate an article on wax treat
ment.
Assuming that the floor is new
or has been recently scraped down
so that no finish of any sort re-
mains on it, or at least that it has
no varnish or wax upon it, proceed
as follows:
First apply two coats OF a mix
ture Of equal parts of linseed oil
and turpentine with enough Japan
drier in it to make it harden over
night (to get the right amount of
the drier, mix equal small amounts
Of the oil and turpentine, add a
little drier and try out the mix
ture on few inches Of floof
space as a test). This mixture
brings out the grain of the wood
and prevents subsequent grease
spots from showing on the floor
as they would if wax were applied
without previous oiling.
Now and then q Reader writes
me that she has put oil and tur-
pentine on her floors and that IT
has left a sticky surface; but when
| come to investigate l find that
she has put it over an old waxed
surface and of course the wax
prevents the oil from being absorb
ed by the wood. 1t may be APP
piled, however, If the wax is al
most entirely worn off the floor.
The next step, after putting on
the two coats Of oil and turpentine
drying we'll after each application
is to apply a good grade of wax
polish in the following manner:
Cover the entire floor with it, put
ting it on not too thickly with a
cloth and leaving 1t in this way
overnight to harden. The next
morning apply second coat Of the
wax, again leaving it a while to
harden-but this time only for n
few hours. All good wax polishes
have turpentine in them CASUALLY
they are composed of beeswax,
paraffine and turpentine) and the
turpentine dissolves the surplus
wax, thus rendering the coating
uniform. After the second coat of
wax has dried for a while, the
first polishing Is begun. Do this
with "a weighted brush, rubbing
with the grain of the wood and
finishing with a wooden cloth tied
over the weighted brush. After
this first waxing, your floor will
not need another coat until almost
a year. except an occasional rub.
bling with the weighted brush t.
keep UP the polish.
AT the end of the year, apply
a second coat Of wax just as yol
applied the first-Tleaving 1t on
overnight to dry and spread even

MARGARET SEES JOAN atop
THE BUS.
Chapter So.

Chapter 81.
Margaret had been in her home
only three days but already was so
in love with it that she had con-
sidered selling her home before the
years grace she had asked for had
expired. Never would she want to
return to the colorless life she had
led for so many years.
She was strolling down Fifth
Avenue when she decided to so
write the people who had rented 1t
and were 80 anxious to purchase.
She was pleasantly conscious that
people as they passed looked At
her; that some of them turned for
a second look. She was wearing a
smart tailored suit fur trimmed
although it was early Fall. She
wore one deep pink rose tucked In
the front of her coat and a small
toque with wing Of the same shade.
She looked exceedingly smart
and knew 1t.
Why shouldn't she? She GER
tainly had paid enough for her
costume, she thought when she
saw the approving glances of the
women who passed; the admiring
ones of the men, 1t was nice to
be correctly gowned, hated and
booted. 1t gave one confidence.
what q stunning woman!" she
heard one of two women say rs
they passed her And the I'M
grudging admiration in the voice
of one of her own sex made her
happy. 1t is an axiom that wom-
en- seldom give expression to real
admiration Of another woman.
AS Margaret emerged from one
of the shops a bus passed. There
was something familiar about one
of the occupants of the front seat
atop. She looked again, then as
she told Janet, "ducked into the
store again" It was Joan. Not
yet was Margaret ready to let her
daughter know she was in town.
But from the shelter of the door :
way she watched the bus until It
was out of sight, a longing to run
after it and clasp Joan in her arms
causing her eyes to mist, her heart
to beat more quickly.

the NEW GENERATION
BY JANE PHELPS

"The dear! The little dear" she
said softly to herself as she re-
sumed her walk. II wonder what
she would have said had she seen
me? That was sweet looking
girl with her, nice and sensible
looking. I'm simply dying to know
all her friends, and to see her, but
l won't give in to the feeling
Afterward she told Janet that 1t
had been one of the hardest things
she ever did--to restrain herself
from running after that bus.
you see, Janet, l must get used
to my freedom before Joan knows.
If l don't she will make me feel
foolish and silly and-old again.
But, If l have time to let the de-
| licious sense of freedom soak in l
shall be proof against even her
disgust because her mother wants
to be young and have a good
time"
Il can see where Joan gets at
least a bit of her originality. Who
but you would ever have thought
of doing as you have done-be-
| cause OF a child. Most people
would have done as they pleased
regardless. / am sure / would.
I'd like to see myself acting In
| that manner toward Ted"
"You forget that Joan's bringing
up has been different"
~ wonder If you ever regret CIV
| Ing her the complete freedom you
have. Margaret; If you would do
! differently If you. had your life
with her to live over?"
''No-I don't think 30, Janet. !
still feel that every human being
should be given the right of self
expression. 1t is one reason / am
| willing to face Joan's displeasure,
That I have not done this before
has been in part owing to my alb
sorbition in her. my desire that
she should have all missed. In
DOING this, and in my love for and
interest in her, 1 overlooked the
| fact that I too was a. human be-
ing and so entitled also to live my
own life instead of one which
simply reflected my motherhood.
No, don't regret anything have
done in regard to Joan unless It
! may be the attitude toward me
my own actions have allowed her
to take. 1t really isn't her fault
that she considers me old, too old
to enjoy the things that young
people enjoy. I allowed her to
take that attitude by dressing and
acting old. That I did It because
Of lack of interest in everything
save her, excuses her, but not me.
I wronged myself. I see 1t now"
"You want to get on your knees
and thank God you saw it before
1t was too late" Janet Walters
said gaily. vet Margaret knew she
meant it.
II have" was Margaret's serious
response.

J. H. H.:-Tf you are IT. 10 In.
high and weigh 100 pounds you
are, at least. Is pounds overweight.
Your flesh Is soft because you have
too much of 1t on your body. The
best thing for you to do is to diet
and to exercise as much as possible
until you have reduced. Then in
stead of too much soft flesh you
will have firm muscle and you will
feel very much better.
Jane L.:--If your complexion Is
bad, taking two cakes of yeast a
day for a week will not show very
much improvement. You will have
to keep on with this or any other
treatment for several weeks and
then you will have to go on for
several weeks after that before the
complexion is perfect. 1t is i'm
possible to make right in short
time any condition that has been
going wrong for a long time.
The fine lines under the eyes
are usually called laughing
wrinkles and do not necessarily
mean old age. Sometimes even
children have them. If you will
massage them with a flesh build
ing cold cream you will be able to
make them seem less prominent.

Louisiana-The reduction in this state will be from 80 to 10 per cent, according to state estimates Corn, velvet beans and truck crops will be planted.
 Missouri Watermelons cante- loupes, potatoes, sweet potatoes and simi1or products will cut heavily into cotton crops here County officials have organized to help cotton grow CTS.
 AIabama-Nothing definite. but it is presumed this state will follow others.
 South Carolina - Crop will be greatly cut, probably 30 per cent and food products mainly substitutes It is really too early just now to gain an accurate estimate of the 1921 crop, for planting does not begin un- til May, but pledges of farmers dur ing the drive conducted throughout the winter forms a basis for compu- tation. The only fear is expressed by cotton handlers. who declare many farmers will depend on their neigh bors to cut while they will continue to plant heavily.

 THE LEADING ROLE

 May l is the date set for the final fixing of indemnity, and although there is the possibility of a postpone will be made by the Berlin govern ment to be ready at that time with definite program
 That the terms suggested in the German memorandum to the U. s. on April ] will form the basis of the new proposals, was freely predicted today and to 9 considerable extent this pre- diction is borne out by advices from abroad.
 In that communication Simons. the German minister of foreign affairs, expressed the conviction that the Ger man people as a whole. irrespective of any possible change in government, realize Germany must make repara- ton ito the limit of her ability to pay" and that it is also the consensus of German opinion that the prompt rebuilding of the devastated regions is to the best interests of Germany.
 London, April 22-Dramatic efforts on the part of Germany to induce the United States to arbitrate the repara- tionS questions between Berlin ana the entente governments, and the re- fusal of the Washington government to sit in judgment on the merits of the vexing problem have lent new interest to the conference at Lympne on Sunday between Premier Briand of France and Prime Minister Lloyd George of Great Britain. The ex- pressed desire of the United States that there be ''an immediate re- sumption of negotiations" has brought into the situation a new, ele- ment, as it has been popularly sup posed the premieres would merely consider plans for further occupation of German territory and not a renewal of exchanges between London and Paris and Berlin.
 The new factors entering into the situation make it probable that Mir Lloyd George and M. Briand will ind them selves called upon to make some sort of answer to the implication in the United States note to Berlin that further negotiations should be com meneced-
 It is known that military author1- ties of France have perfected all plans for the occupation of cities and towns in the industrially important Ruhr district of Germany and have formu- lated economic penalties that will be put into operation when occupation of these places have been completed
 Germany, at the same time she ap- pealed to Washington, sent a com to the Allies rejecting the demand that the gold holdings of the Reichsbank in Berlin be deposited

FAIL TO IDENTIFY
 BOMB SUSPECT
(ConEfnued From Page One.)

(COn4nnuSd rage ont-)
 Among witnesses expected to be called are several workmen from the anthracite coal fields near here, where the prisoner was employed at one time. Their testimony, it is under stood, will concern alleged statements by Ligi that he was opposed to all organized government and believed a person would be justified in destroy ing it
 According to investigators who have seen the statement which Ligf is a1- legged to have made shortly after his arrest, the suspect confirmed dodgins the draft, registering under two draft boards and using his own name be- fore one and fictitious name before the other.
 He was called to register for selec- tive service in November, 1917, be- fore the draft board of Jessup, near here, and gave his right name. When notified to appear for examination, Ii was charged, Ligi went to Luzerne.
 There it is alleged he worked in a coal mine and went before the selec- tive service board under the name Of Augusta Vitaletti on June ,, 1918. His prosecutors are seeking evidence that he was guilty of fa1sifying in ob- taining- deferred classification.
 As far as investigators have been able to learn, Liza has never taken out his first citizenship papers He came to America in 1912 from Italy have definitely established that Bigi was not in Scranton on the day of the blast as he has consistently contend ed. They have not yet been able to ascertain whether he was in New York on that day however.

serious business
 StllI-cotton prices are lower now than before the war. A canvas of the situation in the "od South," and extending into Oklahoma, Texas and Missouri, shows that state departments have taken ofnclal recognlzance of the situation and are urging steps to offset what might happen if planters continued in the old way and planted big cot ton crops.
 Soy beans. something conpara- lively new in crops of this country will be planted by many farmers. It is valuable food product with oil products contributing to it's value.
 These facts have been developed in investigations by the International News Service:
 Georgia's cotton acreage for this year will not exceed one-half that of 192O, provided a survey made by the state is correct. Food and feed pro- ducts will replace it.
 Tennessee, which has one of the worlds greatest cotton markets - Memphis-does not raise a great deal of cotton. but Memphis organiza- tfons are backing a movement to cut the acreage of that state in half
 Nohing definite has been learned yet in Oklahoma City circles regard ing this years crop, but strong pres der way Crop will be cut 30 per cent.
 the crop smaller by half. Letter heads now being used by this states agricultural board bear a cartoon which shows whirlpool on the edge of the shore, diversified crops" 4 farmer struggles in the whirlpool which is marked the one-crop cotton whirlpool'' If we could arrange to raise 6,00O,600 bales in 1921 instead of 12,000.000 bales the credit of the South would be greatly improved," says a note on this 1etterhead.
 Florida Looks Elsewhere.
 Florida-Various crops are being for cotton. Corn, peanuts, sugar cane, hay, soy beans and sir7i- lar products will be increased this year to take the place of cotton. Flor ida, remember, raises a large amount of sea island cotton. the rare long staple product which grows only on the southern islands and seacoast.
 Arkansas-The propaganda has not filtered into Arkansas with full head way, and state officials are doubtful if the crop there will be decreased more than one-fffth. Food products will be grown where cotton is aban- doned.
 Texas-Co-operative marketing un-
 North Carolina-Cotton will be cut one-third. Corn, peas, soy beans, po- tatoes and other food crops will re- place it.
