SILKS AND LACEs IMPROVED
As Rule Color Obtained by Tintna is Not as Permanent as That
 From Dyeins.

Sometimes, especially with light eolored silks and georgette crepe. 1t Is convenient to give delicate tints by some simple method. ''Bluing' and "pinking" are most often resorted to. The United States Department of Az riculture find that, as rule, the color obtained by tinting is not so perma- nent as that from dyeing. There are soap dyes on the market which may be used for this purpose, or a tinting water may be made by soaking col- ored crepe or plotting paper, or by mixing a few drops of colored ink in clear water.
 A glass of tinted water held to the light will show about the same color that 1t will give to the material. A piece of red crepe wrapping paper will easily impart enough color to a basin of water to restore a faded pink crepe de chine waist to it's original shade. Violet or green ink or ordi- nary bluing will act similarly. A small amount of regular dye can also he used without boiling to tint silks. The color of deep cream or ecru lace may be restored by tinting with tea. Coffee is sometimes used, but it is less desirable as it leaves an odor and does not give so clear tint. A cheap grade of black tea is good for tinting, or leftover tea may be used.

WE'RE COLD TO REFORMS

economy and efficiency commission was very conservative and cautious. It took NIT. Taft's view that the prob lem of good administration is not one that can be solved at one time. It is 6 continuously present one. This commission, made up of excellent men, suggested that the revenue-cutter serv- ice be abolished and its activities be taken over by other services. It was estimated that by so doing saving of not less than $1,000,000 could be made.
 Another report recommended that the lighthouse and life-saving services be administered by single bureau in- stead of as at that time, by two bu- reaus located in different departments. It was estimated that this consolida- ton would result in Q saving of not less than $1O0,0O0 yearly.
 The abolition of the returns office of the Interior department was recon mended, at an estimated direct saving of about S25,000 year, In addition to large indirect economy in the reduction of work to be performed in the several offices.
 The consolidation of the six auditing sion in the auditing system of the seven naval officers who audited cus- toms accounts at the principal ports was urged. The change was expected to produce an immsiiate saving of at least $135.0O0 yearly.
 From this modest start other changes and reforms and savings were to be made
 But we weren't interested in the high cost of government or the high cost of living eleven years ago. Mir. Taft didn't get a rise out of us. He didn't have much of a pull with con gress, either, poor man, and all his in Quiry went for nothing as far as any action was concerned.
 l He and his commission did bring out and establish, however, certain facts and conditions. It was trustworthy and competent investigation as far as
 il went. That Is something to the
 good.
 There is a patent disposition In con gress now to take the whole problem
 of the routine administrative processes of the government under consideration
 and see how best to Improve them. | Whether anything really worth while I wln come out of it will depend en- | tirely on the degree of interest you display.

We have not had in our time Presi. dent who was business man or who had close acquaintance with business methods. The Chief Executives have for the most part, not been executives as that term is now understood. Any thing but. They regarded the govern mental machine as one regards hired motor cara piece of mechanism in which to get somewhere, and with nc thought of its power-transnission system or economy of operation.
 Mir. Taft did sense the fact that he was at the head of an organization whose activities are almost as varied as those of the entire business world Mir. Harding, l believe, shares this feeling.
 As MT. Taft pointed out. this great organization has never been studied in detail as one piece of administra. tive mechanism. No comprehensive effort has been made, until very re gently, to list it's many activities or to group them in such way as to pre- sent a clear picture of what the gov ernment is doing. No satisfactory statement has ever been published ot the financial transactions of the gov ernment as whole. With large in terests at stake congress and the ex eeutive have never had all the infor nation which should be currently available If the most intelligent diree' ton is to be given to the daily national business.
 Congress, the President and the ad ministrative officers have been at tempting to discharge their duties without full information as to ths agencies through which the work oi the government is being performed In the past, services, agencies, bureaus what not, have been created one b. one as exigencies have seemed to de mand, with little or no reference tt any scheme of organization of the gov erDment as whole.
 Mir. Taft pointed out all this anS made an earnest effort to change 1t With what result? Why, just exactl. none. Congress was cold. The pub lie-meaning you and me-was colder We didn't take any interest in tn, project, and therefore congress pc litely yawned 1t away into the tal grass and out of sight. Mir.

AI. OUR COSTLY NEGLIGENCE

"Co-ordination" is tired, haggard, nervous wreck of word that was nearly worked to death at Washington during the early days of the war. It was the first of the dollar-a-year words 10 come forward 10 do war work, and It was worn to frazZle. 1 hate to drag the poor wan thing out from the quiet retreat in my dictionary where 1t has been resting and reeuperating, but l must say that this lack of CO., ordination, lack of organization, du- plication, inefficiency, waste, and hap hazard hodge-podge structure of the national governmental machine is no secret to those at Washington, who run and manage it for us, and who are even more directly responsible than We are for the condition into which 1t has fallen.
 I submit pleas of avoidance and confession from both Democrats and Republicans. It is not matter of politics. 1t Is matter of proved and confessed negligence on the part of the men we have hired to run the ma chine, and have kept year after year in places of trust and power and re- sponsibility. They haven't kept up the plant. The form of organization is grotesquely inadequate. The nor ale of the working force is badly im- paired, as 1 have set forth at length in previous articles. We have paid the price for this, grossly and hugely, in money and in poor service. This has been costly negligence on our part. I said had confessions. Here they are, Reed Shoot, Republican and a senator from Utah, speaking:
 The administrative branches of the government have undergone no funda- mental change since the organization was | devised by Alexander Hamilton.
 No other government in the world could have gone on as ours has done, and paid the bills involved in our wasteful methods of administration We have been able to do 1t because this country has had resources and wealth unparalleled But the war has brought us at last to realize that these will not last always We need a complete survey of the whole situation de novo by committee of mer willing to recognize that 1t IS task ot day and night for year. and very likely two years.
 There is endless duplication of worl among different departments, and ever fin the same department. It fl the same through all the governmen functions, and now, when the burden O carrying our enormous debt is weighing on the people. we can no longer neglec to give 1t consideration.

SALT AND WATER IN COOKING
Moisture Absorbed by Cereals Table Will Help.

Cereals vary considerably in the amount of water absorbed as they are cooking, specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture state. This fact accounts for the thin oatmeal or the too thick grits which sometimes appear from the hands of an inexperienced cook. A cupful of hominy gritS should be cooked in twice as much water as cupful of Scotch oatmeal, and it requires twice as much salt as any other cereal. The table below gives the proportions of salt and water to use in cooking one cup ful of cereal of the various kinds:

SANDY AND CLAY SOIL

The chief virtue of sandy soil, says the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, is that the roots of plants can pass through it readily; it's chief fault Is that 1t dries out too quickly. Clay soil holds water well, but it tends to pack and harden. Both types of soil need stable manure it loosens up clay and helps sand to Hold moisture.
