THE STRAITS SITUATION.

From Lausanne come reports to the hSact that Russia is weakening even as Turkey did in regarding to the position on che Dardanelles. Turkey evidently rated the strength Of the allies in the proposition for the internationalization Of the waterway as greater than Rus Sis, whhch country had supported 1t in seeking the control of the straits. Rus Sia and Turkey going hand in hand was something new. but it was a develop ment of conditions even though they had been violently opposed before and RuasSa had planned on swallowing the necessary parts of Turkey in or0er to have It's outlet to the Mediterranean as- sured.
 With Russia backing Turkey it was evident that Russia was pursuing a ssldsh interest, and yet it is to be real lsed that Russis is quite as much fa- eored as other countries, when Gue straits are thrown open to all corners Russia and Turkey do not, however have the exclusive use of the straits under the plan. It means other Black sea countries and those depending upon the DanuDe will get some consideration while those trading with them or look. ing after the interests of subject peo. pie win not be denied opportunities.
 Russia was anticipating the contro of Constantinople as the result of the successful outcome of it's participation tn the war. It is different Russia now than At the opening of the World war but the chance tor Russia to profit quit, ehS same as tho other nations is recog hisAd in the plan that is now being backed by the allies at Lausanne.
 Neither Turkey nor Russia are abuis doaing their plans because they prefsl tho othsr. Turkey had come to recog nise the fact that 1t cannot get any other, and as Turkey gets a new visioy shs Russians realize that they are no being unjustly dealt with even thougl It apparently realizes that it cannot SC cure the fulhllment of its ambition.

YOUR pIscoLoREo LINEN

Linen that has been stored for any length of time or for some reason or other has not been very much used becomes very yellow, and the discol- oration is such that ordinary washing will not remove 1t. It needs a special process, but one that can quite easily be carried out at home, if the fol- lowing instructions are followed
 Washing with lime is the best means of restoring it's purity and whiteness. Obtain the following materials: Half a pound of pure yellow soap, the same quantity of soda, 8 quarter of a pound of quicklime. Shred the soap finely, and dissolve it in half a gallon of boil ing water to the soda, and poul enough boiling water over the lime to just cover it. Each of these must be got ready in separate receptacle6.
 Then put the lime and the soda to- gether, boil them for 20 minutes, and pour off to settle overnight Soap the linen well and also leave to soak overnight.
 The next day fill the copper, strain the mixture of lime and soda, and to- gether with the soap put into the cop- per and bring the whole to the boil. Then put in the linen and boil for half an hour.
 This mixture will serve for three boilings, but 1t must be seen that no sediment from the lime is disturbed when pouring 1t off.
 Rinse in the usual way and blue well

uISTER,s nECIsInN

From the time that the efforts have beea made in behalf of what is now the kriSh Free State 1t has been evident that Ulster did not sanction it and did not desire a part therein. Because Uf This opposition there has been evidence of Irishman fighting Irishman, and yet even since the struggle for and the se. curing of the Irish Free State there has been a display of quite the same attitude. Irishmen are fighting Irishmen even within the Free State, though the number of the opponents to that gov ernment siS evidently small and the ac- tive participation not likely to last long, At least there is nothing that promises success to warrant such continuance.
 But with the Free State taking up the government Of the greater part of Ire- land, Ulster has not been inspired tc change its. mind. It has been fully con. vlnced that 1t wished to remain a part of the British empire. The opportuney to 3oln with the Free State has met with m unanimous vote in opposition
 thus slowing that the indications tha, such actson would be taken were vel based. Ulster at this time seemingly takes ths view that f those who want d nsFaFstipn ePup Finland eagnet ge'

SEWING HINTS

When making a Tapped" scanned skirt do not Hap" the back seam or the skirt will appear crooked.
 When winding artificial silk, do so over a piece of cardboard cut into the shape of a Maltese cross. If artificial silk thread is wound into an ordinary ball 1t will soon become hepelessly en- tangled.
 It is a difficult matter to cut away the material under lace insertion with out severing a wrong thread unless some way of overcoming the trouble be employed. Use a piece of cardboard four inches long, rounded at one end and cut wide enough to slip along be- tween the lace and the material. This will make the work easier and safer.
 To make a fetching sofa pillow use either black satin, sateen or velvet and embroider it with bright wool flowelts. These also can be knitted and then sewed on.
 Among the ready -to-use helps that save both time and stitches for the home dressmaker may be mentioned attractive ready-made trimmings which come ready to apply to clothes, whether wash or otherwise. Rick rack comes in great variety both as to col or and width. Bias folds come in col ors and many pretty designs. Net all frilled, pleated and hemstitched, as well as laces, may be just the touch needed to give the ready made look to a homemade blouse or silk froek. Or gandie trimmed with fancy frills makes children's dainty froeks without any l other trimming. Beaded material comes all ready to fashion into slipovers ol l tuntcs for evening gowns.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY

One Ghould set proper value upon the eyes and learn to bestow upon them constant, intelligent care. The following rules will help: Don't keep your eyes concentrated on close work for longer than an hour at a time. Don't work with the sun in your eyes or shining on the paper at which you are looking.
 There has always been a question as to whether the cold or the hot bath is the most beneficial There is some thing undeniably exhilarating about a cold plunge; on the other hand, there is both relaxation and refresh ment in hot bath.
 The best bath powder is nothing but ordinary cooking corn starch per fumed or mixed with a little sachet powder. This is so inexpensive that big jar of it can be kept always in the bathroom and it has a s1noothness and silkiness that few expensive pow ders possess.
 Never allow an invalid to read all day. It is very tiring for the eyes as well as for the mind. There are many tnvalidLs who ask for books by the score but they should not be permit. ted to read more than one hour at g stretch and always see that the nght is behind their backs.

.A RENOVATION HINT

The beauty of many evening dresses lies in the wonderful girdle of artifi- cial flowers that mark the waist. But how quickly they lose their pristine freshness. A cloak crushes them, and an evening dancing makes them al- most unrecognizable. But no matter how shabby and crushed, with a lit- tie time and patience it is possible to restore the flowers to their firtst charm.
 Straighten out Ai the crumpIed pet als and place the blooms and leaves face downWards on a thickly folded ironing blanket. Then with moder- ately hot iron press them.
 Next brush the wrong sides with a solution of gum arabic and. fix the flowers to a board so that they will not curl up. When they are dry, with the stiffness imparted by the gum, you will find they have quite recover ed their shape.
 If the color has gone at all it is a simple matter to revive that with a few water..eolor paints, mixed with Q little thin glue.

along amongst themselves it is unreas-t enable to expect that it would. be able to do so.
 That the Free State government Is taking a stand calculated to bring it 'n- to greater respect in Ireland is clearly indicated. It is plainly not a time for Ulster to experience a change of mind. It is too soon. These are troublesome days for the new government and 1t must deal with the troublemakers with a firm hand. Rather is 1t by the con- duct of the affairs in Ireland m rae years to come that the Free State gov ernnent can be the best judged by Ul- ster. While Ulster is not given much to changing its mind, it may take an entirely different view ten years from now from what it has just decided. It will certainly be big feather in the cap of the new government if it is able to bring about such a right about face Such a goal is worth working for for good of all Ireland

PUTTING IT UP TO CONGRESS.

It is interesting to note that some of the newspapers on the other side of the political fence, not being able to find any other fault with the message which PrsSIdent Harding delivered to congress laat week, complain that he dwelt on too many subjects. and that he ought eo have known that congress could noT deai with 50 many things at tho short sssaion.
 That is indeed a serious fault When President Harding set forth the cond!- tions that exist and the need for changes he was dealing with what he believes should be known and what should get attention. He was not en- deavoring to fix up a message that would be governed entirely by the weaknesses of congress. Whether 1t is S long or a short session of congress there Is a plain duty which the presi+ dent discharges in the presentation ol his message. and likewise when 1t has been presented there is likewise a re- GponsSoility resting upon congress tc give 1t careful and considerate atten' tIOn. to tackle and dispose of the bus, ness before 1t rather than baik and fiji buster, or delay and prevent action ont way or the other.
 Et 4s to be fully realized that a sho-t seSSion of congress is limited, but that Gosm't justify the wasting of the time The business in hand should be tackled with that in mind. Supply bills mus get Enueh attention but that doesn't jus. tlfy the tacking on of all kinds of rid erE. which would not stand on theil own merits and which are often resort ed to for the sole purpose Of dbstruc. kioa.
 Because the president has directed attention to g large number of mat tergs many of which are important tt Ghe welfare of the nation, It does no mean that he insists upon dealing w.tl them an at this time. He would b derelict in his duty. however, did h not bring to the attention of congress the problems calling for solution ana a such a time as he believed 1t neces sary. and the country is going to judz congress by the many in which 1t deat with them. or the attitude that it. dis plays regarding these things. The pres 3dent has put the situation squarely u Co congress. urging what he consider necessary and expecting it's support.

THE RIGHT ATTITUDE.

Just what success he will meet with in the stand that he has taken rests with the future to disclose, but there is no denying the correctness of the posi- tion taken by Judge Landis. high com missioner of baseball, when he declares the baseball pools are the greatest msn- ace to baseball and properly denounced that practice.
 It Is one of those things that are hard to deal with like betting on horse races and other gambling schemes. There is nothing to indicate that it Is in any way connected with baseball, while it seems highly probable that those backing baseball have nothing to do with it, but the effect upon baseball because of the pools is not difficult to foresee. There are other sports that have suffered, and suffered severely, as the result of a similar practice, and it is clear to Commissioner Lands that the time for baseball to eliminate all possibility of becoming involved in au- other scandal lies in checking it before it gets a strangle hold upon the national game
 Organzed baseball quickly recognized the menace of the scandal that deveI- oped in Chicago a few years ago. There was call for decisive action at once ii baseball was not to suffer. Steps were taken that resulted in Judge Landis be- ing made baseball commissioner and baseball recovered quickly.
 Baseball hasn't begun to feel serious effects from the polls, but Judge Lands doesn't intend that 1t shall, and if pre-. ventive measures can be adopted through the position he has taken or. ganized baseball should be quick to re, | spond. A stitch in time saves nine.

NOT A GOOD RECORD.

When we stop to think of the large number of murders that is to be found in the news of the day there will be lit- tie surprise at the increase which the homicide record for the country shows in the past decade. Instead of de- crease as would naturally be desired there has been an increase, meaning that in spite of the disclosures and runishments through the taking of life the view seems to be that there is in- creased encouragement instead of great CT Encouragement of such conditions. Are we getting to the point where thoso who are willing to take life figure that they can rely upon escaping the penal ty for their acts?
 For four years to 1915 the homicide record in 2S of the large cities in this country showed 8.1 cases in eaGh thousand of population. That was bad enough, and yet for the next five years that proportion in creased until there were S.5 cases n each thousand. It may be considered 8 slight gain, but it certainly was a change in the wrong direction. How. ever. it hasn't stopped there for in the year of 1921 the record in those same cities shows 9.3 a thousand. That is 8 decided gain. and yet what are we tc expect in view of the great number whc are found not guilty even after they have admitted the killing and the oth' CTS who escape under the various ap peals tor 1eniency.
 From these figures there appears tC be growing defiance of law. based a2 parently upon the feeling that such al appeal can be made that will eliminate the penalty on the strength of what oth CTS have done and gone free.
 There are centers where the numbc, Of homicides Is much greater than q others. There are certain sections where crimes of various kinds are look ed upon in a different light than il others, and are accorded different treat ment. But whatever the section it mus be evident that some improvement I the manner of dealing with those whl take life must be insisted upon and ca ried out before 1t can be expected tha the desired reduction in such cases vii follow. When those who murder escap detection, or those detected are acqu.t ted. or those convicted and sentence find a quick avenue to freedom doesn't serve to discourage others simi larly inclined.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
 THE HOUSEWIFE

-
 The best color combinations for a room will have the floor dark, the walls lighter and the ceiling lightest of all.
 Is your meal preparation a walking trip A compact and orderly arrange ment of apparatus will save many un- necessary steps.
 The fewer tasks done in the kitch- en, except cooking, the easier 1t is for the one who cooks. The laundry should be a sepaFate room, if possi- ble.
 A funnel on the toy order made of tin is excellent for filling salt and pepper shakers and vinegar and oil cruets.
 An unthreaded sewing machine may be used instead of a tracing wheel to mark patterns. If the edges of rug curl up. over cast them with strong twine and pull tight until the sides lie flat. A good cook says that English wal 1 nuts will keep fresh longer and a bet ter flavor if they are heated through in the oven before using.
 If French toast is made in the ov. en instead of being fried, it is more evenly Drowned and a larger quantity can be done at one time.
 To plant fine seed put in rather large salt shaker or talcum can witt perforated top. By using this tht seeds will be sown evenly. ] Put the pockets on the side sean ! of your slip-on aprons and you cal wear them with either side for tn front and thus. save laundry work.
 Syrup left from fruit salad is ex cellent for pouring over blanc mang intended for the nursery table. Crumbly cheese is more easy of di gestion than the waXy kind. Good quality knives should invar iably be cleaned with charcoal pow der.

NEW HANDKERcHIEFS FOR
 CHRISTMAS GIFTS

As Christmak gifts hanGkerchiefs take first place and the 1922 display is worth considering.
 One of the newest is made of cross barred organdie-this cross bar comes in several sizes, the design varying a little in each one. The handkerchiefs are cut perfectly round, about nine inches in diameter. The edge is roll ed, as narrowly as possible; and to this is whipped an inch wide foot ing. in the same or a contrasting color.
 One sees many of these organdie handkerchiefs in white, with rose, pale green, light or dark blue, or tan ruff fles; sometimes a delicate buff, apri- cot or gray issused for the handker- chief instead of white, and the ruffle will match the handkerchief in color
 French gingham in tiny checks is used for some smart handkerchiefs.
