My Neighbor Says:

Painted wood, panelings and
wainscoting can be rapidly and
effectually cleaned with potato
water. Put half a dozen pota-
toes, peeled, washed and grated,
into a pail. Pour a gallon or
two Of fresh water over them
and let them stand for half an
hour, then strain. Use this
water to wash tho woodwork
with q flannel cloth. No scrub
bling will be- needed, but an
other flannel with clean water
must be used for rinsing pur-
poses.
Potatoes will bake moro
quickly If boiled in salted wa
ter for ten minutes before be-
ing put into the oven.
To preserve parsley, dry IL in
q cool place, then put 1t into
air-tight tins or boxes.
Hard work will not spoil the
hands IL this simple rule is fol-
lowed: After having them in
suds rinse the hands in clean
water and apply a cut lemon
or q few drops of vinegar to
kill the a1kali in the soap
After a few minutes rinse the
hands again and rub in we'll
cold cream or petroleum oint-
ment.

Gloves are No lonyar what tba,

Gloves are no longer what they once
were, plain covering for the hands
with variation in coloring and stitching
only Nowadays gloves must have
gauntlets or Saucy frills, thus AFFORD
ing ample chance for novel decoration
Whether the gloves be of fabric or kid,
they are embroidered or have appliqued
of cut-out designs to give them dis
tinction. Some have rows of narrow
gathered ribbon and some have short
narrow bands of contrasting color with
buckle fastening. The predominating
colors range from sand to brown. Gray
is also good.
These same light tints from flesh
through gold and beige are the keynote
of hosiery. They are given preference
in every shoe shop, and seem to be the
accepted fashion of the moment. They
are plain or delicately clocked, either
in self or contrasting color or in finest
open work
The names given to these light tints
are alIuring in themselves, and are
quite necessary to insure ones being
able to duplicate a tint that has proved
satisf actory. Some Of these names
are nude, champagne, sand, gravel and
shell. The flesh tints are particularly
satisfactory fol-. evening wear, for they
look well with practically every sort
of dainty frock and either gold or sill
yer slippers.

YOUTHS ARE INTERESTED
 IN FOREIGN TRADE
Interesting Business Being Studied By Number of Americas Younger
 Generation

New York. Feb. "A rapidly in- creasing number of young Ameri- cans is becoming interested in for cign trade as career. according to the Educational Committee of the National Foreign Trade Council. In order to encourage young men in this direction, and to prevent foreign trade being an adventure Of ignorance on the part of employers, the commit tee is arranging a special educational session in connection with the annual convention of the council at Boston next June.
 The committee has circularized col logcs and universities in the United States which have foreign trade and business courses, inviting them to send teacher and student delegates to the convention. Also it is taking steps to call tho attention of eN- porters and importers. manufacturers and others engaged in foreign trade, to the need of encouraging, by way of employment, American youth who show interest in foreign trade as a career.
 An official compilation. not long ago. showed collegiate courses in for eign service training in 52 colleges and universities with total num-

 A closer analysis of these figures tends to reduce the number of stu dents actually engaged in tri6ninG themselves for foreign business serv- ice, for the above figures include men who intend to enter the consular or other foreign service work of the United States government.
 The council says its investigations show that the foreign departments of American blanks have been increased nearly eight-fold since 1914.
 F. H. Huxley. chairman of the edu- cation committee. said recently: "Wc have built up a vast and complicated technique for our domestic trade; we must now do the same for our for eign trade. For haphazard methods we must substitute scientific training. Foreign trade is a profession; it can be learned only by study and eNper- ience."

 Obregon Created Hatred.

oDfegOn 1fcaUHi Hhtreu.
 New Orleans, La, Feb. 4.-Presi- dent Obregon has created hatred of the United States in Mexico because of the prevailing belief among Mex jeans that he is attempting to deliver his republic into the hands of this country, according to Gustavo Arce, former president of the commission deputies, who arrived here yesterday on an unamounced mission for Adol- fo de la Huerta, the revolutionary leader.
 "Obregon is creating a new and dangerous problem between Mexico and the United States. and is rlining friendly relations between the two countries said Mir. Arce. Many Mexicans believe Obregon, when he finds himself in desperate straits, will provoke armed intervention by the United States to save his life. This fear of the delivery of Mexico to this country is going more than anything else to swell the ranks Of the revolu- tionists under de la Huerta."
 ''The revolution is growing in strength every day" Mir. Arce added. "The rebels have gained absolute con- trol of the states of Gucatan, Chiap- as, Tabasco, Campeche, Vera Cruz Michoacan. Jalisco, Nayarit, Guerrero and Sinaloa.
 "Obregon himself has been cooped up in Queretaro and it is not true that his troops are near Vera Cruz or have any chance of taking that port"
