PERSIA HELD SAFE
FOR u. S. INVESTORS
Charles w. Russell Declares Gov
ernment Now Is on Safe
Foundation.

Charles w. Russell, former United
States minister to Persia, told the
students at American University last
night that for the first time in that
country's history he now advocated
the investment of American capital in
Persia. The Persian government is
on sound foundation, he believes,
and considers that such investments
would be safe.
Irrigation will bring great agri-
cultural future to Persia" he said.
''as the soil Is as rich as that of
California, and the climate is salts
factory to the raising of splendid
crops. There are countless rivers
and streams available for furnishing
all the water that is needed. The
country In territorial size is consider
ably larger than France and Germany
combined. 1t is about 1.40O miles
from north to south and 1000 miles
from east to west

placing OF American capital In Persia
would make the government still
more solid than 1t is now and in that
way be a great help to the Persian

Chinese Mode Is Given
Prominence in Paris

Strange how the Chinese mode has
swept over us by way of Paris. Most
of the openings speak of Chinese
colors and Chinese feeling, but it has
remained for Lanvin to present US
with coolie coats developed in all
sorts of attractive fabrics the coolie
never dreamed about. These she tops
with mandarin hats-just to be incon-
sistent and democratic and altogether
femininely French Since nah jongg
has become so popular that special
rooms in the houses of enthusiasts
are being decorated as background
for play, the Chinese coats and hats
ought to have strong attraction for
those women who always get the new
thing, and get It first.

wrap-around skirt Of wool and hip
length coat which has cape extend
ing just over the shoulders. The collar
is often fur and sometimes there are
fur cuffs, but the model which has
been received most enthusiastically
has simply the touch of fur at the
neck.
There are also charming little frocks
of wool, velvet or velveteen. These
have a short, straight or circular cape
which snaps onto the shoulders and
may be removed when necessary.
In one instance it is fashioned Of
very dark green wool. The cape is of
circular cut and has collar of gray
caracul. On the frock there is little
straight Chinese collar of silver en-
broidery and this touch Of silver is re-
peated in the f1aring cuffs.

The advantages of making ones
own salad dressing are that tie in
gradients may be slightly varied to
suit the individual taste, a greater
quantity may be obtained for tbs same
amount of money, and the dressing
may be made fresh as often as de-
sired. The following standard recipes,
tested by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, will meet most
requirements. French or oil and vine
gar dressing is preferred on dinner
salads by many people, while boiled
or mayonnaise dressing is more suit
able on salads that form the main dish
of meal, or for use in sandwiches
An excellent ''cold slaw" can be made
by pouring hot boiled dressing over
drained raw cabbage which has been
shaved thin and soaked in cold water
for an hour. The slaw should be
pressed down in a bowl with a weight
ed plate and chilled before using.

HOW TO WASH REFRIGERATOR
So Far as Possible ReceptacIes Should
Be Kept Clean by Little Pre-
ventive Measures.

The refrigerator should be thor
oughly cleaned about once week, at
a time when it contains only little
ice, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Remove the ice
and all the food. Take out the racks,
wash them in hot water containing
soap or soda, rinse, and wipe dry. If
possible, remove the drainpipe, scrub
inside with lOng-handled spiral
brush or swab, and scald. If the pipe
is not removable, 1t should neverthe-
less be thoroughly cleaned out, for it
many contain not only solid matter
from the melting ice, but also slime
formed by the organisms that thrive
in such dark, cool, moist situation.
The small trap in the drainpipe should
also be cleaned, and the drain pan
washed and scalded. Wash the inside
of the refrigerator with hot water
containing soap or soda, rinse, and dry
thoroughly. A small pointed stick like
a skewer may be used TO clean the
corners and seams.
So-calIed ''iceless" rcfrigerators
should be cleaned as regularly as
those of the ice-box type-the shelves
washed and summed, and, If possible,
two sets of curtains provided, so that
each can be washed and summed every
other week. Food safes, bread boxes,
and other receptacles for food should
likewise be washed, scalded, and aired
regularly to prevent mold and decay.
So far as possible, refrigerators
should be kept clean by preventive
care. Wash the ice before it is put
into the Ice compartment and keep all
food in clean and usually covered
dishes. Never put food away hot. It
is advisable to inspect the contents OF
the refrigerator frequently for spoiled
food. Anything spilled should be
wiped up Immediately.

In days gone by every child was
supposed to go through period called
the awkward age. In reality it was
not an awkward age at all, but in
those days mothers had not got be-
yOnd a certain stereotyped style of
youthful dressing and did not under
stand the possibilities of that age be-
tween babyhood and subdeb.
Few things indicate more decidedly
the progress of designing than the
charming clothes created for the mod
ern child. They are colorful and ex-
quisite, simple and smart, and, above
everything else, appropriate. Perhaps
the most distinctive feature of these
frocks and coats is their individuality.
It does not take long for mother
to decide Just what particular color Is
becoming to her small daughter and
whether her type calls for frills and
ruffies or for an almost exaggerated
slimness and lack Of ornamentation.
AS always, certain phases of grown
up fashions are repeated in miniature.
There is, for instance, the sleeveless
frock with it's wide frill about the
neck and the tight-waisted, full-skirted
dress which delights the soul of its
small owner because it Is so like
mothers.
Outdoor garments are made Of soft,
lightweight woods in tones which set
off the lovely 4coloring of childhood.

lends itself to the use of remnants or
the remaking of an old dress. In one
instance, the foundation is a straight
line model so simple that it needs prae-
tically no making to which are added
applied front and back panels and a
cape back that may be left off if one
doesn't care for Though cape-backs
are good this year, and for the figure
that curves against the modes decree,
such an artifice is well designed. The
rolled girdle, too, is used, but one may
substitute a narrow belt if one pre-,

Serge, Twill for
Chic New Outfit
Navy Blue, or Neutral Beige
and Gray Popular for
Fall Wear.


Come what will in the world of fash
ion, there is no such thing as oblivion
for the tailored frock of serge or twill.
in navy blue or neutral beige and gray,
declares a fashion correspondent in
the Kansas City Star. It holds it's own
season after season, and the remark
able thing is that designers contrive to
give it a distinctly new aspect each
time 1t appears.
This year a certain variation in de-
tails is noted, with much attention paid
to those suggested by the modes of
China. This, perhaps, is more in the
Introduction of color and in touches
of embroidery or the application OF
narrow bands of bright trimming
around the neck and down the side,
just as one sees in the Chinese coats.
It is probably by the clever use of
color that navy blue frocks of this
season are distinguished from those Of
last.
In line they are straight and slim,
with wrist-length sleeves which are

bell-shaped, with dainty undersleeves
Of net or muslin.
For practical purposes nothing takes
the place of a dark blue gown, and
with the addition of a well chosen hat,
shoes and stockings Of correct lines
and colors, and scarf of really good
fur, it constitutes street costume
that leaves nothing to be desired in
the way Of chic and good taste.

and velvet are shown with cape or

SUGAR HAS A USEFUL PLACE
Allowance Of Two Ounces Of Sweets
Per Day Is Not Too Much for
Growing Child.

Sugar has a useful place in chill
dren's diet as a fuel food and as a
fiavoring material, the United States
Department Of Agriculture believes.
For a child eight to ten years old an
allowance of two ounces CT sugar a
day to be used in cooking or eaten on
cereals. fruits, and in other ways, is
not too much. The point tc remember
about sugar and sweets in child's
diet is that they should be served
chiefly at the end of the meal. If
eaten between meals or at the begin
ming of a meal, they take away the
appetite for more important foods.

CHICKEN GUMBO MADE
IN SOUTHERN STATES
Good Plan to Reduce Number Of
Unproductive Fowls.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Fowls which are no longer expected
to lay well should be culled out of the
flock in the fall to save feeding them.
BOOSTERS, and even young cockereIs,
are better eliminated to reduce the
number Of unproductive birds. The
family may well profit by this process
and enjoy chicken frequently. One of
the most appetizing ways of serving it
is to have chicken gumbo, which is
neither a soup nor stew, but which is
hearty enough for a main luncheon or
supper dish and needs no additional
vegetables except rice.

Agriculture gives the following stan
