Miss Clark asks the women to be
sure and remember that the vege-
tables to be evaporated must be
tender and fresh when put under
the process. Corn that is too old,
peas that are hardening, and the like
will not be satisfactory and should
never be evaporated.

things in the collection were bottles

Strawberries, figs, etc. just the

they crave them.
Miss Clark stated that this fruit
has an economic value also which
should commend it. When it is
properly done, it readily sells for
$1.00 per pound anywhere. She fur

AS Billiards. Howl, Back East
Style Makers Don Straw Hats

There is nothing which 'softens the
face as does lace. On large hats
OF horsehair straw or tulle, there
is often just a sweep Of wide lace
about the crown which ends in long
stre8mers at one side. Sometimes
one streamer is long enough to be
wound about the throat as a scarf.
On the small poke bonnets, black
lace may be used in veil effect ex-
tending over the narrow brim and
ending in a huge wired bow at one
side.

Newest Slips
The newest slips designed to be
worn under the one-piece frocks
are made of the same color as the
froek and are cut on form-fitting
lines. The shirred skirt attached

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Womens
hats are the heralds of spring. Des.
pite the weather prophet, the
ground hog, they are out in all their
glory.
Men have straw hat day, when
they throw away the winter felts
for the summer straws. They wait
calmly for this day and then bios
som out in unison.
February demands for women the
between-season bonnet and at pre-
sent the winter hats are beginning
to look decidedly passe.
The early season hats this year
are invariably poks-shaped, fitting
close to the head and with scarcely
any brim. They are more youthful
than any shapes we have had in
some time and should be becoming
to most any type Of face IL properly
trimmed. They may be widaned
with huge ribbon bow, heighten-
ed with feathers or broadened with
side clusters of ribbon rosettes.
Youthful Effect
The most youthful effect for the
poke is the side trim of shirred rib
bon rosettes placed fatty at the
sides of the bonnet. These roaettes
may be made Of plain ribbon, rib
bon with silver or gold edges,
metal ribbon or narrow black lace
The Partisan within OF the moment
is to have a small cluster of bright
flower buds in the center Of the
rosette. Round medallions Of pearl
beads are also popular as a center
for gold or silver metal ribbon
rosettes. Where pearls and metal
ribbons are used, more OF an even
ing bonnet effect is obtained.
Black Lace
Evening affairs at present are
certainly demanding lace both for
gowns and hats. Nothing could be
prettier for black lace dinner gown
than the large black hat that is
trimmed with exquisite black lace.

Women Interested in Verdict
on the Demonstrating Bill

Club women of the valley vii
note with interest that the 140t
business organizations connected
with the United States Chamber OF
Commerce have voted overwhelm
ingly against the Demonstrating
bin which women s organizations
have been favoring.
The bill, if it became law, would
create department of education
in national government with sec
rotary in the president s cabinet,
and would provide federal ard to
the states for educational purposes
under certain conditions set forth
in the bill.
1t is not stated what the main ar
guments against he measure have
been, but doubtless it is economic,
together with growing opposition
to the extension Of paternalism on
the part of state and national gov
ernment.
All such questions are closely re-
lated to taxation and many believe
that they may tend to set up evten
sive machinery which adds greatly
to the cost of government without
returning due service to the people.
Just as in the case Of the Shep-
perd-Towner law to which so many
states are objecting, federal aid for
education would only be given to
the states making equal appropria-
lions for educational purposes, and
many claim that the states can take
care of their own needs in this d.
recticn quite we'll enough; that each
state has Its problems whieh can and
will be met according to the wishes
of its own people Whether they
are doing this is another question.
Another thing the people are
lcxrning by experience is that
whether supported by state or gov
eminent taxation, no matter what
the movement, the people pay the
bM themselves by direct or indirect
taxation in the last analysis, and
there is tendency inst now to
scrutinize every question that would
tend to increase taxes. Possibly
the business men voting on the Shop
perd- Townley bill have done this.

sehtatives +. H. Giliett gives the

SEEK T0PREvENT
BUILDING COLLAPSE

To forestall the possibility Of a
future collapse of parts of the Navy
building, due to settlement at the
foundation. has called for immediate
action on the part of the office of the
superintendent of the State, War and
Navy Department building, which is
In charge of the maintenance of this
building.
1t was announced yesterday by Col. C.
O. Sheriff., superintendent of the State,
War and Navy Department building
that he has given a contract to the
Raymond Concrete Pile Company OF
New York to Immediately make bor-
ings along the front of the Navy
building to determine the cause OF
the settlement.
According to the explanation made
by Col. Sheriff., the settlement is
occurring principally at the founda-
ton base of the supporting column
and although the settlement so tar
has been slight and could probably
go much farther before there would
be any damage. 1t was decided. as a
precautionary measure. to lose no
time in determining the cause and
apply a remedy.
Practically the entire site of the
Navy and Munitions" Col. Sheriff. ex-
planned, "is reclaimed land. and con-
seQuently the piles supporting the
buildings had to be driven through
to dead rock. There has been con-
slider able settlement on the first floor
at the rear end of some of the wings.
This was to be expected, however. as
these floors were laid directly on the
ground. In no place other than the
point at which the borings are to be
made have the columns themselves
settled to the slightest extent"
