There apparently has been some re-

from entering, the financial situation
has been made worse than ever.

Status Of Foreigners Uncertain.
The uncertainty about the status Of
foreigners In Germany, coupled with
the difficulties Of crossing the Rhine
land because of the train service in

occupation, has been widely heralded
In western Europe. France and Italy

foreigners, and hotels and shops con-

Berlin, May 4.--Foreign tourists
especially those from North and
South America. are so wearied and
annoyed b. the passport. police and
housing regulations in Germany that
only the most resolute are remaining
in the German cities. The influx of
outsiders Is so slight that the Ger
man press, backed by complaining
hotel keepers. merchants. restaurant
keepers and theater managers, Is
criticizing the central government for
the difficulties 1t has placed In the
way Of obtaining passport vises, and
the municipal government for its
heavy tax on foreigners and the ex-
acting police regulations.
The simplest sort of single room
In q Berlin hotel OF the second class
now costs the equivalent of 81 day.
This comes about through the so per
cent tax which the city of Berlin i'm
poses on the room charges to for
cigncrs. The result of this is hotels
which are practically empty. and no.
tel men who are facing bankruptcy.
Tourist agencies no longer refer Wis
ttors 70 hotels. but send them to
boarding houses. Only wealthy Wis
itors can afford to live in hotels.

In Hamburg and Bremen there Is

Success of Victoria Drummond
The phenomenal success achieved
by Miss Victoria Drummond, young
English woman, as marine engineer,
has inspired new interest In the posi-
bilities of engineering for the educat-

cieties are springing UP in the larger
manufacturing and industrial centers.
and one of the largest employers Of
labor in England said recently that no
capable woman need rear lack OF EN-
ployment in this branch when she has
successfully completed her training.
Miss Drummond. who is grand
daughter of the late Lord Amherst Of
Hackney. is now chief engineer on a
large ocean steamer. and soon will ap-
ply for license as a sea captain. But
in spite of her success. English edu-
Gators do not advise women to spe-
rialize in marine engineering with its
peculiarly severe demands upon the |
physique and general health. Rather |
they are urged to choose the electrical |
branch of the profession. For not only

CALLS FOR NEW DICTIONARY
New York Newspaper Condemns the
Present Ones as Cumbersome
and Disconcerting.

Like many books called classics,
which we speak of reyerently and new
er look at, the dictionary of our Lam
guage seems to be falling into dis
use; we seldom consult it. If a strange
word "swims into our ken" we regard
it as an impertinence or we use it as a
kind of game; we argue about it, dis
cuss it, and perhaps write to the
newspapers for a definition, but we
don't consult the dictionary.
Perhaps the reason for our neglect
is that the unabridged dictionary is
too cumbersome and it gives too many
meanings, though thin papers cut the
ordinary bulk. Simple words therein
are found to be both noun and verb
(speIled alike, and sometimes they
have more than a dozen distinct mean
ings. This is disconcerting. There
may be room for a dictionary with the
obsolete and archaic words left out. a
true Mountaineering dictionary that
shall be fool proof. -New York Herald.

HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WE IEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND II. ALLEN
LAUNDRY SOAP
%, 1922. Harlaald H. Allen

How shall we choose soaps? The
problem of finding a really good soap
for daily use is of no small lmpor'
lance, when we consider the almost
constant need for soap in the home,
and what a considerable monthly and
yearly expense that single item may
be.
In the first place, it is a good plan
to use only soaps put out by reliable
firms. 1t is never an economy to use
cheap and poorly made soaps in the
laundry. And we must not make the
mistake of thinking that one kind OF
soap will answer for every purpose.
Soaps are classified into mild, me-
dunn and strong, according to the
amount Of free alkali present. Nearly
every home laundry should be equipped
with at least two of these, and very
probably you will need all three. Neu-
trail or mild soaps should be used for
wooden materials, delicate colors and
all fabrics which even the smallest
amount of alkali might injure. A me-
dunn soap is best for durable fabrics.
A strong yellow soap is all right for
rough work and FOR washing greasy
overalls and mems work clothes.
The yellow or dark brown color Of
soaps is generally due to the presence
of rosin. 1t is hard to say just when
rosin added to a soap ceases to be an
advantage and becomes Objectionable.
In small quantities it is believed to
help whiten the clothes, but too much
will yellow the clothes, and forms
sticky scum in the Wash-boiler, which
settles into the clothes and may cause
trouble in ironing. You can generally
tell whether rosin has been added in
excessive quantities or not, by ESe
peculiar resinous odor, and by the
sticky feel of the bar when handled.
The presence of too much free
alkali is also serious, even in strong
soap. It is hard on the clothing and
hard on the hands. There are several
good tests for excess alkali. Soap
statesmen try for it by holding bit
of the soap on the end of the tongue.
Alkali is very caustic and viii bite.
Many housel1eepers learn to recognize
It's presence by the shriyeled drawn
and drfed-up feeling of the hands
after using. A safer plan. as well as
cheaper, is to buy a good mild soap,
and then add the washing soda your
self to the water, if more alkali
seems desirable.
