The assertion Of the German minister of
finance to the effect that it cannot pay

result in a declaration of bankruptcy.
If such an assertion is looked upon in
certain quarters as a bluff, Germany has

KITCHEN KINKS

Whoever has tried to hold a bag
open with one hand while filling it
with pudding batter, fruit juices, etc.
knows how troublesome it is Usually
one has to have some one hold out
the top of the bag or almost paralyze
the thumb and fingers of the left hand
in trying to fill the bag, and getting
as much pudding outside as inside OF
it.
One resourceful little woman in such
a dilemma had an Inspiration She no
ticed two cup hooks on the WALL about
eighteen inchest above the cooking ia :
BILE. She took a piece of cord, pinned il
to two sides of the top of the bag
hung it over these hooks, took hold OF
the other sides with the thumb and
fingers and had no more trouble Il
worked as well as another pair o.
hands. Some might prefer to pin the
top of the bag over an embroidery
hoop, or wire hoop made for the
purpose, but this way answers al
needs.

COLOR IN DECORATIONS

Nature herself is the guide to sue
cessful color schemes. A bulrush, bird
or flower will show countless happy
combinations. How frightened one was
of blue and green together until love-
ina-mist showed how nature loved the
alliance, or of red and purple until we
remembered the fuchsia. Other co'or
notes may be CLEANED from oriental
rugs, Chinese vases, old tiles and en-
broidery.A toy bird suggested the
scheme for one successful and original
room. The French gray of its body was
seen in the walls and painted furni-
ture, the cobalt blue of its wings in
the door curtains, rug and the uphol-
stery of the couch, the dusty, light
red of it's throat in the lamp shades
and cushions. The picture and mirror
frames were black and a pri"fod l;-e~

HAND BAGS

Bags are being made in all kinds
of fantastic shapes, to say nothing of

feathers so as to serve the purpose of
a fan as well as a bag, is q new idea

the bag is to be carried. Bags in bro
caded silk with enameled wooden tops
the handle formed by large wooden
ring are charmingly novel, q
orange feathers are stitched on to a
silk foundation, used for bag having
cream wooden frame, enameled il

A large envelope-shaped handbag

LEGISLATURE NEVER HEARD OF IT

Concerning the recent acts Of the

service mon. the Hartford Courant sat
urday in justfying the position OF
Comptroller Bissen declares that exact
ly the same legal barriers exist IN each
of the cases and that I'm the case OF the
Norwich institution, the legislature au-
therized the purchase of the farm but
left no money for it."
If such had been the case the Nor
witch state hospital petition and that OF
the pollution commission would nave

farm proposition was never presented
to the general assembly. It was a mat
ter that developed since adjournment
was presented to the recent quarterly
meeting of the hospital trustees and by
them referred to the state board of con-
troll. Additional funds for the purchase
of the farm were not sought. 1t was
desired to buy the farm out of the main
tenance account, which could be done
without endangering it, and use the
farm for housing certain patients, CIV
ing employment to those who work ana
producing a greater volume of the food
stuffs required by the institution.

CLEANING HINTS

vents it turning yellow.
To remove SCOT from carpets sprin-
kle we'll with salt, then sweep.
A small soft paint brush is just
the thing for cleaning an electric tosat-

After the dust has been beaten out
scatter an equal mixture of cornmeal
and salt over the carpet Then sweep
it off.
Wood ashes are excellent for the
cleaning of bottles. If bottle is par
ticularly dirty cut a potato very fine
ly, put in in the bottle with a little
warm water and then shake it rapid

Damp newspapers are a wonderful
help in cleaning carpets. They should
be torn into small pieces, moistene6

carpet. After the sweeping has beer
finished it will be found that the damn
paper has eliminated much of the dust
