eating missions, but we suspect
they are acting pretty much as
our Government would do were the
circumstances reversed.
The Russian government sent an
official mission here for the express
purpose Of cultivating business re-
lations and friendly relations, and
our Government deported that mis-
sion with every mark of contempt
and insult.
The Russian government has sent
number of requests, couched In
the friendliest terms, for the re-
sumption of intercourse between
Russia and America, and our Gov
ernment has replied that it will
have nothing to do with Russia
until Russia overthrows the Soviet
government.
The statistics show that an enor-
nous number of workers are out
of jobs. Still, when one looks
around, he sees no evidences of
widespread hardship and suffering.
The workers are living more eco
nomically, and no doubt thousands
of them are wondering what will
happen next. But, in the mean
time, the savings banks deposits are
increasing and most legitimate
small businesses manage to keep
going which they could not do
without customers from the ranks
of the workers. We are inclined to
think that the statistics are mis-
leading; that the men and women
counted as unemployed have, in
most cases, found something to do
temporarily while they wait for
business in their particular trades
or occupations to pick up, and that
the country is doing much more
legitimate business than is thought.
Under the leadership of Gompers,
the American Federation of Labor's
convention voted down resolution
to refer the question of war or
peace to national referendum.
This is characteristic of Gompers
and his close followers. Gompers
has long retained power through
primary packing" politics inside
the Federation.
An oligarchy of politicians has
long controlled the election of dele
gates from many of the largest
unions, as all union men know, and
the referendum has never been
popular with this oligarchy.
If the election of the president of
the Federation of Labor was re-
ferred to general vote of the mem
bership, with secret ballot such as
is used in all honest public cleo
tlons, Mr.. Gompers would be re-
tired as soon as the votes could be
counted.
Gompers is a British subject by
birth, and he has no love for such
American institutions as the full,
free and secret suffrage.
Among other things, Gompers has
found that the Hearst papers are
traitors to the cause of Ireland.
That will be a surprise to mil
lions of Irishmen, we feel sure.
Probably the true explanation of
Gompers' remarkable discovery is
the difference in Gompers' concep.
ton Of the Irish cause and the
Hearst papers conception of the
Irish cause.

1t seems to us that organization OF more

States should command great an influence in
behalf of the rehabilitation of the building industry

WHITE HANDS.

The problem of keeping the
hands soft and white is always
complicated one, because in the
winter they dry and chap, and in
the summer they become brown
and sunburned. Most of us hate
wearing gloves always in the sum-
mer, and many of US find that in
the winter not even thick gloves
al a sufficient protection.
To make it still worse, it is hard
to rub oil on the hands during the
day because of the dust the oily
skin will collect, and it is impossi-
BILE to use oil at night without
staining the bedclothes, unless one
is willing to sleep with gloves on.
Altogether the Inconvenience are
so many that most women, with
out meaning to do 1t, neglect their
hands shamefully.
Obviously the best thing is to
find some lotion that Is not greasy.
Personally, | have found the Hon
ey Almond Lotion best for this be-
cause 1t bleaches the skin and
keeps 1t white, and 1t is not sticky
nor greasy. 1t is a bit difficult to
make, but not impossibly so. Here
is my formula:

Cold water .............. l pint
Steep this overnight for twelve
hours, strain without pressure;
then take one ounce of sweet al

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, July 18.-Big receipts
and prospects of cooler weather
had a decided bearish effect today
on the wheat market. Prices closed

December $1.31 to $1.31A. Corn

the outcome varied from 32ac
decline to Toe advance.
With today's arrivals in Chicago
estimated at 1880 cars and with
the movement heavy also to st.
Louis and Kansas City. wheat
prices tended downward almost
constantly throughout the day.
Forecasts of cooler temperatures,
together with rain reports gave
further impetus to the selling and
so likewise did a liberal increase
of the visible supply total. Be-
sides, advices were at hand that al

THE HOUSEKEEPER'S INDOOR
DRESS.


Several Of my readers have
asked me to write upon the sub
jeCt of the housekeeper's indoor
dress. For the woman who does
her own homework this question
resolves itself into two heads. the
work dress and the afternoon
dress q assume that the heavy
part of the days work will be done
by noon-as 1t should be in the
home Of all efficient housekeep-
ers).
Let us consider the working
costume first. What color shall it
be? l believe I will surprise many
by my answer to my question
white. To my mind, white dress
is the most practical to choose for
heavy work, covered of course with
an all-Over Bingham apron. For a
white dress does not fade when one
perspires from hard exercise; a
white dress does not fade from
frequent washings or from hang
ing in the sun after washing; a
white dress, when spotted, may re-
ceive applications of all kinds of
acid spot removers which would
ruin a colored dress. Yes, in the
long run a white dress gives the
best service for hard work.
And now for the question of the
afternoon frock. Here we may sat-
isfy the primitive love of color that
turks in each and every one Of us.

feel justified in DOMINIC a dress

TRAINING YOUTH.

A professor in Boston University believes that
the youth of this generation who reared in the
city lose much that makes them resourceful and
sef-reliant He thinks that the elemental primitive
things of life needed a background. In car
rying out his ideas with his four sons he has ar
ranged things so that they have had experience
with everything that lives and grows farm
and in the woods about their home. They have
gone barefooted while fishing in summer and they
have trapped in winter wading through the SHOWS.
They have been given the fullest possible ac-
quaintance with animal and vegetable life. He says
he would do the same thing with girls. If he had

needed to make them alert and hardy

Efficient HOuSEKEEPIN
BY LAURA A. KIRKMAN.

But note that I said, 1.-The color
that most becomes u.s." We cannot
all wear the same color with equal
success. 1t takes a tiny woman, for
instance, to wear one of the red
and-white checked ginghams Cred
is considered a disturbing color,
and if worn by stout or tall per-
son it is rather too much in evil
dcnce). Pink, on the other hand,
may be worn by almost anybody
stout or thin, short or tall, blonde
or brunette. Pink brings out the
color in our cheeks and Is becom-
ing to us all. Blues of all shades
are particularly we'll adapted to
the woman whose bones or fea-
lures are large; blue is considered
dignified, inconspicuous color.
And greens-especially the green
and-white checked ginghams or
striped dimities-are chosen when
a cool effect is desired; it is Ma
lures color and it seems to carry
its GOODNESS with it.
Cottons and linens are perhaps
the most practical fabrics to choose
for these indoor dresses; for moths
do not attack these materials while
they are stored away during the
