Either paper or millinery foliage is
used with both fruit and flowers and
wire is wound with green paper for
the stems.
Roses carnations, cosmos and
chrySanthemums are made of crepe
paper with such fidelity to the natural
flowers that 1t is hard to distinguish
between them at little distance. The
paper roses and carnations are some
times scented with the perfume of
these blossoms, adding something to
the pleasure they give. Making them
Is fascinating work and they are so
inexpensive that every house may be
Frightened by them. Fruits are little
more difficult for the amateurs, but
they are lasting and will repay the
experiment and the small investment
n wire, paper, sealing wax and cotton.

Just now belated effort is under
about government business and gov
eminent employment. The Bureau of
the Budget has been organized and
is in operation under the direction Of
Charles G. Dawes.
Both houses of congress are work
ing on the problem of Redistribution
of government positions and salaries.
The Veterans bureau has been Or
ganized and has taken over the bureau
of war risk insurance, that part Of
the public health service which had
to do . with veterans, and all of the
work of the federal board for vOCa-
tional education except that part
which had to do with the treatment Of
persons injured in the industries.
There is also the inquiry being made
by the joint committee on the re-
branch of the government of the two
house of congress, of which / have
spoken. Walter f. Brown of Ohio is
chairman Of this committee, represent
of the committee are, on the part Of
the senate Senators SmoOt of Utah,
Harrison Of Mississippi and Wads-
worth of New York. The members on
sentatives Reavis of Nebraska Temple
Of Pennsylvania and Moore of Virginia.
The job of this joint committee is
to make a survey Of the administra-
tive services of the government for the
purpose Of securing an pertinent facts
regarding their powers and duties,
their distribution among the several
executive departments, and the over
tapping and duplication Of authority
In reporting the resolution from the
judiciary committee to the house the
members were told:
1t is a matter of common knowledge
that millions of dollars are wasted by
the government by the almost endless
duplication of activities. There has been
no fundamental change in the admins
lTdtlNb dCllNlllcS SlIC0 lllb VI
was devised by Alexander Hamilton, and
the result Is that activities entirely out
of harmony with the functions of depart
ments have grown with the passing years
until the government Of the United States
has become not only the biggest business
in the world, but the worlds worst man
aged business.
The purpose of the resolution Is to
ascertain so far as possible the extent
of the overlapping and duplication of ac-
tivites, with the view that numerous
commissions and bureaus may be ellmi-
mated and a great saving effected in the
governmental expenditures. The commit
tee feels that no more constructive legis-
lation is possible under existing condI-
lions than the legislation proposed by
the resolution. With the present condi-
ton OF the nations finances and the bur-
dens the people suffer because of Excess

The baskets and vases Of paper rope
will require some instruction. IT can
be had where the materials are sold
and without expense.
Every woman knows that some
where is to be found q sweater
that will do wonders for her in
the matter of beComingneSs. When
the time cOmes-as it does much more
frequently than it used TOTO go out
in pursuit of one, the excursion
is likely to be celebrating; it is like
the quest of a new hat; for we know
in advance that the right model awaits
us somewhere.
There are so many versions of the
sweater and so many variations of
each version, that displays seem, at
first glance, bewildering. In reality
there are not, and do not need to be,
many different styles: the variations
lie in details of making and decOra-
ton. Wool, silk and fiber silk are
used, alone or in combination, and
in an endless manipulation of stitches,
for knitting these garments that serve
so many purposes.
The most popular and most practi-
cal sweaters are those made in the
tuxedo and slip-over styles like those
pictured here. The handsome tuxedo
model reveals striped pattern in
dark blue and, like nearly all silk
sweaters, is closely woven. 1t has a
checked pattern in white and blue
as border and a plated girdle with
tasSeled ends.
Fiber silk sweaters are usually de-
veloped in fancy weaves. Much use
is made of drop-stitCh stripes, cross
bar patterns and loose, open stitches
in them. The story Of fancy stitches
has no end-it goes on forever.
A plain, substantial and neat Slip
over of wool, shown in the picture,
is closely woven and worn with de-
tachable collar and cuffs 1t fastens
on the shoulder to avoid stretching the
neck opening. But there are many

OUT-OF-DATE MACHINE

A committee made up of three men,
bers of the senate and three members
of the house is now considering the
whole problem of the organization of
the executive departments of the gov
eminent with view to finding out
how to reorganize them so as to in
crease their efficiency and decrease
their cost of operation. 1t is about
time. The great executive depart
ments of the government have not
been recognized or greatly modern
lied since Alexander HamiltOns day.
Representative Reavis of Nebraska
Is one OF the members of this Joint
congressional committee that is max
Ing the present investigation. He put
the resolution through the house that
brought about the appointment Of the
committee. He is a part of the ma
tional government machine and he
ought to know what he is talking about
when he says that while the gov
eminent of the United States is the
worlds biggest business, it is likewise
tllC WI lu "OlS uldlldScu DuSlntSS.
That is an Indictment and a state
ment of fact that will stand the closest
scrutiny and the most unsparing
analysis. But listen to Mr.. Reavis:
"Why should the Interior department
run an insane asylum and a college for
negroes and a school for the deaf?
How did it get that way Why should
one personnel in the pension bureau
in the Interior department be caring
for the disabled soldiers Of the Civil
war and the Spanish American war,
while another personnel in the bureau
of war risk insurance of the treas
ury is caring for the veterans of the
World war? Why this hOdgepOdge Of
totally unrelated purposes which is re-
sulting in endless duplication and APP
palling eXperseW
| will let Mr.. Reavis go on without
further interruption. AS a member
Of the house he has his share of the
responsibility for the conditions he de-
scribes:
There are 80 separate governmental
agencies handling engineering, architec-
tural and public works functions, all of q.
related kind. There is no good reason why
all these agencies should not be co-ordi.

CHANCE TO FIND OUT

sive taxation, any legislative measure
looking to real economy should commend
itself to the sympathetic attention of the
house, and we feel that the passage Of
this resolution and the work of the COM
mittee which will be done under its au-
thority will result In the saving of mil
lions annually.
It can be predicted with considerable
assurance that nothing will come Of
this proposed voyage of discovery I'M
less we, the shareholders in the enter
prise, maintain an active, lively, sus-
tanned interest in it. One thing is al
ways true of the house of repre-
sentatives-it is representative. II
we breathe warmly upon it, it CLOVIS.
If we are Indifferent 1t becomes cold.
This isn't the first time that plan
has been set in motion to find, out
something about how the governments
business is conducted.
The earliest inquiry into the ad.
ministrative methods of the executive
departments was made by the Cockrell
commission in 1887. Six years later,
in 1893, a joint commission, of which
Representative DoCkery was chairman,
was appointed to examine the status
of the laws organizing the depart
ments. President Roosevelt in 1905
named an interdepartmental committee,
of which C. Ii. Keep, assistant secre-
tary of the treasury, was chairman, to
consider department methods. Presl-
dent Taft in turn, in 1910, named a
commission on economy and efficiency
of which Frederick Cleveland was
chairman.
Broadly and generally speaking,
nothing came Of these enterprises.
You and commonly and vaguely
known as the publlc-were not in
terested, and neither was congress-
That ended it.
But just now, at this moment, we
have the best chance we ever had to
find out about our common business
and how to improve it and lessen its
cost to us. The burden of supporting
1t is heavier than ever before.
You will perhaps notice all through
these articles that the information
supplied me about the general facts
Of government employment and govern
ment business are in terms of
estimates and approximations This
is one Of the defects Of government
organization. 1t Is so large and so
formless, and its parts so unrelated,
that exact and precise information
about the whole is virtually unob-
tainable.
It is of the greatest urgency and
need that the people shall know
about their government, but they will
find 1t difficult to learn until the gov
eminent knows about itself.

$@ HE pretty vogue for artificial
flowers, as decorations for the
home, seems to have come to
stay. The shops are showing them in
many varieties and often remarkably
true to life, made by those who have
become expert in manufacturing mil
lnery flowers. These same blossoms,
vanished and stiffened with clear
shellac, have the appearance of con-
ventional "china" flowers, and they
are immensely admired. But neither
of these varieties exceeds in beauty
those made at home of crepe paper
especially the well-loved garden flow
ers-as roses, peoples, hollyhOCks,
cosmos, chrysanthemums, that turn
out most successfully in crepe paper.
They are used just as natural flowers
are, in vases or baskets. Sometimes
these receptacles are made at home
also, of paper rope. Two sprays of hol-
lyhocks and a cluster of cosmos bios
sons have been selected for illustra-
ton because they are startlingly life
like.
1t is an old established custom to
use baskets or plates of artificial
fruits as finishing touch to the fur
nishings of the dining or living room,
and marvellous reproductions of them
are offered in the stores. They are
usually somewhat expensive imports.
A few of these fruits can be made
at home also, of such everyday, COM
monplace materials as cotton and seal
ing wax.
These fruits have cotton balls as
foundation attached to short pieces of
wire for stems. The cotton is covered
with wax, heated to the point where
1t will run, and shaped by turning
and modelling with the fingers while
1t cOols. Several cOlors may be blend
ed together in this way After the
fruit is shaped and cooled, it is heated
again-not to the melting point, but
enough to give it glossy finish, and
cooled by dipping it in cold water.

THAT Tanlac is a wonderful med
icine for delicate children is con-
clusively proven by the remarkable
results accomplished in the cases of
the three children shown in this pic
ture.
Little Blanche Blair, of Providence,
K. l., age ID, gained 10 pounds; Re
gina McCabe, at right age 8, of
Scranton, Pa, gained 10 pounds; lit
tie Richard Leary, Jr., Of Philadelphia,
who was very delicate, is now in fine
robust health. The statements made
by their parents are as follows:
Mr. A. NJ. Blair, residing at 20 At
wood street, Providence Il. l.. said :
eve are just so happy over the
change Tanlac has made in our little
girl that we can't do or say enough
to show our appreciation. She had
lost nearly 20 pounds in weight and
looked so frail and weak that her
mother and | were both almost wOr-
ried sick over her condition. Since
taking TanlaC, she has already gained
10 pounds, her color is better than If
ever has been and she looks and acts
like different girl"
Mrs, Catherine McCabe, 414 Dick
ems Ave, Scranton, Pa, said: "The
flu left my little Regina in such a
bad condition that l have no idea she
would be with me now if it hadn't
been for Tanlac 1t is a mystery to
me how she lived on the little she
was eating and was so lifeless she
never even cared to play with the
dolls and toys she got at Christmas.
Since taking Tanlac she is as hardy
and well as any child could be and
has gained Is pounds in weight. l
will always praise Tanlac for restor-
ing our little girls health"
Richard Leary, 2342 Palethorpe St,
Philadelphia, said: "There is no
doubt in my mind but that Tanlac
saved my little boys life. For two
years | wouldn't have been a bit sur.
prised to have seen him drop off at
any time. He had stomach trouble
and many a time the gas pressed up
into his chest until his heart palpi-

Brittle Nails.

If your finger nails are brittle, and
most housewives have this trouble to
contend with because they must have
their hands in water so many times
each day, acquire the habit Of rubbing
a little vaseline or olive oil on them
every night before retiring and this
condition will soon disappear.

Cities as Thunderstorm Spots.

The conclusion has been reached by
well-known engineer who has given
the subject considerable attention
that certain cities, if not indeed most
inland cities Of say 100000 population
or more, appear to be Thunderstorm
spots" The observation has been
made by E. r. Horton, of Voorhees,
vile, N. Y, who also points out that
"a shallow lake with sandy margins
located in a forest may serve as a
thunderstorm breeder" and cites as
proof observations made by him
over Oneida lake, New York.
