ed the group on kitchen arrange
ment Miss Clark stressed the
fact that this is the time of the

their kitchen arrangement as it

phasized the facts that no
change for lessening the house

be considered as saving a few
steps each day makes an aggre-
gate of a large number by the

THIS CHANGING WORLD

Nine great powers arranged at conferences
held in 1909 and 1913 to make anew map Of
the world based on simple system proposed
by representatives of the United States in
1908-a map with uniform scale of distances;
approximately 10 to the inch-for all parts, and
with uniform lettering and symbols. Word
comes from Washington that the geological sur
vey is working on the American share of the
map but because of lack of adequate appropria-
tons and for other reasons the job hardly will
be finished in less than 10 to IL years. That
will be time enough. The world, according to
present indications, may take that long to settle
down. So far as political subdivisions of the
map are concerned the boundary lines drawn
today are admittedly unstable in many parts of
Europe and Asia. It may be necessary in the
interest of accuracy to change them tomorrow
Right now the maps of Turkey and Greece
are being re-drawn, but still without assurance
of permanency. The Greeks speak of Thrace
as "the lost province" and talk of another war
With final disposition of the Saar region few
years hence the maps of Germany and France
will have.to be made over And then there IS
Russia Suppose that the Russian people re-
turn to power and refuse to assent to the seces-
sion of the states which have broken away from
the Muscovite empire during the bolshevik
gine. The next Russian government may at
tempt to reannex some of the lost territory by
force, or some of the new states may return to
the fold with change in the government. There
is strong likelihood, in any event, that the map
of Russia as drawn now will not be the map of
a decade hence in every particular.
Even in the New World there is a strong
possibility that boundary lines may have to be
changed before ten years have lapsed. There
is the dispute between Peru and Chile, for in
stance, as to which shall obtain sovereignty
over the provinces of Tacna and Arnica.
Of the great powers the United States IS
the only one of which it can be said with any
great degree of confidence that there is no pro-
liability that its boundary lines viii be any diff
ferent when the world map is completed from
what they now.

A FLAPPER PRINCESS

Flappers flourish not only in democratic
America, but in the old world as well. and if
reports are true, not even monarchies are proof
against them and even young princesses have
caught the infectious spirit of independence. For
typical of the girl of many an American house
hold is the picture given by woman CORE
spondent of the Princess Yolande, Oldest daugh-
ter of the king and queen of Italy.
This twenty-year-old princess is said to rule
the entire royal household, to have broken up
the staid and formal entertaining of the queen,
rebelled against restricting her visits to hospitals
and schools, won for herself and next younger
sister permission to attend the theater at night,
and has demanded and secured for herself a
separate allowance, and now selects all her own
clothes instead of wearing those selected by her
mother
When we learn that no court ball has been
given in Italy since before the war and that
Yolande has never had coming out party, her
rebellion is not to be wondered at.
