JAPAN,s ATTITUDE.

Word now comes to the effect that Japan Is willing to talk disarmament. That is welcome news but Japan should not only be willing but anxious to en- ter into a conference on that subject with a view to actually accomplishing the desired end
 Japan has been spending money freely on it's naval equipment It has not made as large outlays as this country but it has based it's expenditures upon the amounts employed for such pur- pose by this and other countries and it has been doing so with the idea of keep ing up in the race if not outstripping those countries which now have a slightly higher naval rating
 There have been times when Japan has not displayed much interest even in the discussion of such a thing as a na- val holiday. Somehow it has seemed to feel that it could never listen seriously i to such a proposition until it had got | ten it's navy to the limit aimed at or | until it had at least gotten to the point where provision of the necessary funds became necessity.
 However, Japan appears to be seeing l are to judge by reports from and re- garding the far east. It has come to see the logic of the position taken by the United States in regard to the isl and of Tap. It is manifesting new at. titude in regard to Siberia and there is talk again of the giving back of Shan. tung to China.
 There is the possibility that Japan ha, been rehectfng upon it's experiences And on the other hand Japan cannot fai to understand the importance of encour aging peace Instead of fostering trouble
 That it is already feeling the financia
 burden of spreading ont or preparin;
 It's forces so that it can meet any polio, of conquest is likewise evident However whether it's naval programme has gotte,
 to the point where 1t can be halted O
 not the attitude now manifested by tn three leading naval ivers is such to ward disarmament that progress ough to be made when their representative do get together to reach an agreement.

WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN
eRAnuArlNe ERocks

In former years it has been the custom for the graduate to wear all White. Now the pastel shades are in cluded and dresses of voile, orsandie, null and chiffon are made in the most simple, youthful design with wide rib- bon sashes and flower girdles.
 The younger set and school girls favor the. longer, wider skirts, with ruff1es and spuffs, as well as the sim ply trimmed short sleeved bodiees, which are chosen for spring and stim- mer wear in taffeta, gros de Londres, radiums and ofgandies, while the silk tissues, laces, voiles and other soft materials are fringe and ribbon trim : med. A smart model in orchid Canton crepe has a skirt with two flat ruffles, scalloped and edged with deep fringe, the bodice made transparent with in serts of matching net embroidered crepes de chine are effectively. Can ton crepe is almost solidly trimmed with fringe which finishes at the front with cabochons of fringe, centered with long ends of noire ribbon. :,
 Canton crepes and voiles in all white and white and black gain favot as the season advances, and the col ored crepes de chine are effectivcly combined with matching tinted laces and georgettes.
 Among the latest colors worn art apricot, lemon, lilac, amber and al the soft shades of green and blue with trimmings of fringe, beads, petals and rat-tail put on in designs.

DICTATES OF FASHION.

Gray chiffon. or georgette afternoon gowns simply trimmed with fringe are worn with gray, black or bright red hats.
 Several smart hats have a high back trimming, which simulated Spanish cobs. These are often made of lace or pleated maline.
 Mushroom brims have been rather out of the running; but the short back poke has done a good deal toward re- viving interest in the dropping brim.
 Attractive little ruff1ed aprons, with hats to match, are being worn by bridesmaids, as well as at teas this spring.
 Cretonne and gingham parasols are offered this summer.
 Tea and coffee shades are rivalins gray.

MEMORIAL DAY.

By the observance of Memorial day we help 10 keep alive the memory of those who fought and bled for their country those who gave their lives that this na- f,on might remain united and those who went through that terrific struggle ana remained to have a prominent part Tn the nations upbuilding. Memorial day came to be observed after the Civil war and has been zealously maintained by the Bows in Blue" until there are today vet erans of two other wars who join with them in paying tribute to comrades who have gone before.
 Thus to a great many of the younger generations has a new and deeper meaning been attached to Memorial day, because of the fact that they participated in or passed through An actual period of war and therefore have different idea Of the sacrifices, privations and sorrows connected herewith. It should. have the effect of creating a greater interest in and respect for the proper observance of the day. For just as we can never forget the recent war period neither can we afford to overlook the similar patri- otlc service that was furnished in pre- vious years.
 Memorial day must therefore become the day in which tribute is paid to al the heroic dead and to all who served their country so vAli4ntly in time oi need. day each spring when the na tion gives expression to it's gratitude ant sees that the graves of the fallen botr in this cohntr wand abroad are properly marked and decked with flowers.

If you have number of straight edges to hem, run the corners to- gether with needle and thread De- fore putting them on the hemmer. This will permit a continuous hem and will avoid the trouble in each case of trying to start the hem neatly.
 To save aprons Put breaths to- gether; make one inch hem to and bot tom; make a finished belt, half inch wide long enough to go around the waist, then run belt through hem, fasten it to apron in center to pre- vent it pulling out at either end. There are five advantages of this way of mak- ing an apron. Namely, no right or wrong side; folds rarely fall in some place; can be pulled out fiat for laund = ering; can be sent to laundry as fiat work, and can be turned from top to bottom with five minutes labor
 In doing fancy work, if you find the threads draw hard or break easily rub a little white soap on the wrong side of the linen. Even lather ap- piled with brush will not harm the linen.

OVERCOMING AN. 1NsUsr1cE.

The action which has been taken by Postmaster General Hays is decidedly opposed to the stand that was taken by his predecessor concerning the exclusion Of what are considered radical publica- tons from the mail. Postmaster General Hays in fact reverses the order of MT. Burleson concerning the Liberator to which the latter denied the second class mailing privilege
 It was plainly evident from the man. ner in which he treated them that MT. Burleson had no use whatever for the radical publications, those that were preaching a doctrine that he considered dangerous. That others felt the same way that he did regarding the undesirh- bility of them will have to be admitted but it does not always hold that action which is taken based solely upon feel ngs is always the correct one.
 Postmaster General Hays in returning Inc second class privilege to the Libera tor, makes a point Of the fact that ii publieations are menace there is law by which they can be dealt with and that it rests with the department of jus tiee to enforce the law. Mir. Burleson however, took the matter into his owr hands and as the result of the Hateria published denied 1t circulation as sec ond class mall but permitted it to fo al third class. at a greater expense to tht paper
 That was 4 discrimination that va. difficult to support. Certainly if sedi ti0us matter was being published i should not be allowed in the mails A ait. To make it pay third instead 0 seoond class rates imposed greate burden upon the publication but the pos tai service still continued to distribute jt simply taking more money for it's work because of the radical character of t6 paper.
 The injustice of this, both to the coun try and the paper. can be quickly seer Mr. Hays takes a determined stan, against such discrimination and Whi, the second class privilege is returned f 1t let's 1t be understood that differen methods of dealing with any unlawft conduct on It's part will be employed { the future than the censorship method of MT. BurIeson.

VOGUE FOR LACE GOWNS,

Late reports from Paris tell of the vogue for lace gowns, although they are rather slow in making their ap- pearance in the United States. A smart wedding in Paris recently brought out veritable fashion parade, Some of the most striking costumes worn were in silver gray and mauVe laces, made over matching foundations. Some of the dresses were in lace pan els, with matching chiffon in between. One of the r1auve lace dresses had for trimming only belt and sash of satin ribbon in matching shade.
 HOW TO WASH CHAMciS kLOVES
 Here is the way that an expert says that chamois suede gloves should be washed: Use only lukewartn water and pure soap. Do not use ordinary soap or wiring and twist gloves.
 Rinse thoroughly. as any soap left in the gloves will discolor them.
 Pull lengthwise, wrap in a towel then stretch in shape. Lay the gloves fiat between the folded towel to dry
 A little salt added to the water vii prevent colored embroidery from run. ming. It is also helpful to stiff the gloves with tissue paper when drying

SMALL BOYS SWEATER

The sturdy small boy craves an athletic style of sweater-such as big brother wears with his basket ball togs or tennis fiannels. The slipon model is best for children will not button sweat CTS correctly, and the button sweater soon gets all out of shape A sweater of heavy brown worsteds is done in d knit and purl stitch, which gives the heavy, warm texture of masculine sweaters. Around the neck is a band of back and forth knitting that makes an effective trimming and. strengthens the often stretched neck opening. Be sure to make such a sweater generousls big. Even if several sizes too big il will look all right on the little char and he will grow out of it-howevel big it is-before the sturdy sweater is outworn.

sPoBr SUITS.

Some newer models of the sports suits are exceptionally attractive The combining of honespuns in overplaid with duvetyn is particularly effective in a suit where the p1eated skirt is de- veloped in homespun of brilliant shade of red. with an overplaid in black and white. A silk duvetyn coat is faced with the homespun of the skirt. The same model is made of Harding blue plaid homespun, combined with black duvetyn. While box coats are shown, they are invariably accom- panied by narrow buckle or tie belt Sports topcoats are entirely mannisli as to cut and are shown in long and three quarter models

HE MUSIC LESSON.

Never scold child for not practicing his music lesson. It only serves to make him detest music more. If the mother plays she should play with him and try to make it interesting. If she strums some pretty piece he will want to play it, too. If, however the mother does not play, she can and should take her child to hear great musicians. This will make the child resolve to work.
 If either of the above has no effect upon the child, the child will never be a player and is merely wasting his time and his parents money.

THE RARY,s NAME

Some young mothers want to give their baby an uncommon name.
 This is a mistake, as most children are sensitive and do not like to be singled out as peculiar or different from their mates. A name that is sci : dom heard is sure to attract attention. kind of attention that no child enjoys receiving.
 Mothers should think of these things before naming the baby. As the yea rs go on the mother herself will generally be more pleased with a plain name Even old fashioned or Bible names are preferable to odd or madeup ones
