My Neiighbor Says:


 To keep your sewing materials in order choose shallow drawer of fair size. Fit into it small cardboard boxes of various sizes. Pack all firmly together and fasten each with a, drawing pin through the bottom. Then place in each box one kind of sewing material-safety pins in one, pearl buttons in another, linen but. tons, hooks and eyes and alarming needles in others. Keep one for thimbles. one for trouser buttons and so on. When such a drawer is open ed just what is required is seen at glance.

w ork Program ProposedPlan
 Of League

THE 1914-1925 proposed program of Il Of work of the National League of Women Voters, which includes recom- mendations from the heads of the de- partments of efficiency in government and of international cooperation to prevent war; forecasts simplification of the leagues extensive work. The program, which has just been released to state and local leagues for consider ation, will be submitted for final adop- ton at the annual league convention in Buffalo April 24 to 29,.
 The department of efficiency in gov ernment, of which Miss Belle Sherwin of Cleveland is head, would have the league extend its study to s'County Ad- nlinistration" and particularly to the simplificatiOn of state administra tions. It's legislative work is as heretofore pri- marily concerned with public employ ment and public finance, and especially. to the budget system, and the merit sys- tenn in civil service. A new method of work suggested is the collection, by small, local groups, of facts about ad- ministration of local government.
 Under the heading 'Education ill Government and Politics. this depart ment recommends the study of party platforms for 1924, three pamphlets, Know Your Town ''The Outline of Government in the United States, Parties, Politics and People," The method of work would include small ! Eeighborhood study groups, a graded series of citizenship schools, one each | year. in every county or accessible to every congressional district; institutes for the training of carefully chosen women who may become leaders of po- litiral education in state leagues.
 The program also calls attention to the fact that when the pending child labor amendment is approved by Con- gress, all. the state leagues will be called upon to work for state ratified tion.

that she has married tightwad in stead of a spender, and that the man she thought had ample means is as poor as Jobs turkey.
 Then what is proposal but a fraudulent, get-rich-quick propo- sition, with nothing but hot air to back 1t? Probably no man ever made an honest marriage proposal to girl.
 He never says, Mary. I have, got mean and cantankerous disposition I am selfish and stingy and only mod erately trustworthy. I don't make much money and have no brilliant pros poets, and if you marry me you'll have to put up with my crankiness, and will need the forbearance of Patient Griselda."
 No, he paints Claude Melnotte pie ture of love and devotion, and vine wreathed cottages, and billing and coo- ing. and that is what the poor simp of a girl falls for.
 Nor are women any more honest
 with men. Why, the average man
 has never really seen the real woman
 he marries until the honeymoot
 begins to wane and she takes off her
 handmade complexion, and he finds
 the face that launched a thousand ships for him is often enough to stop
 the clock.
 Also, he finds out about the same time that the matrimonial bargain he has got is not as was represented in many re- "a hoI kAav. InI ko kaI e., one thing, that the girl he led to the all tar looked upon him as an oracle, and asked nothing better of fate than to sit at his feet and burn incense before him
 Likewise, the girl had "sold" her. self to him, commercially speaking. by being so sweet and amiable that butter wouldn't melt in her mouth,
 and by looking so soft and pliable
 that he never doubted that he could mold her to his taste.
 But before he has been married a month he has found out that she had an unsuspected temper concealed about her person; that she is as set in her ways as a piece of granite, and that, so far from thinking him perfection, she has set about to change everything about him from his politics and religion to his necktie.
 Certainly no other one thing in the
 world would do so much to make
 happy marriages as for men and
 women to be honest with each other before marriage. But there would be few marriages if they knew before
 hand what they were getting! DOROTHY DIX

NnYEI.TY LIGHTING

Looke ye to your lights that they be the correct kind and shape. Lamps .of every description flood the shops, but so few are in any way appropriate. Weird pillars of flame and illuminated washbowls suspended from. the ceiling, or else contrivances that represent inverted shaving mugs, are so used that the ordinary busy person just takes them for granted and never thinks of changing them. A clever man recently bought bunch of simple ships lanterns made of wrought iron and hung them over all his suspended fixtures. They were remarkably inex- pensiye. being purchased at marine store, ard gave the most decorative eff feet.

beautifully clean and look like new.
 Never throw away pieces of lemon after they have been squeezed with the lemon squeezer, for they come in handy for removing stains from the hands and elsewhere. Dipped into salt they will SCOUT copper kettles nicely and remove stains from brass work. Lemon takes stains, dirt and odor from pans and kettles as noth- ing else will. The odors of fish and onions can thus be easily removed
 If cooked meat is ready for the table before it is required, place it on a dish ready to be served and set this over pan of boiling water. Put a dish over the meat and a cloth over all. The steam will keep the meat hot for long time and does not draw the gravy out or dry it up.
 Rub the bottom crust of fruit tart with the white of an egge and it will prevent the juice from soaking into it.

1Une NI0ther says.
 Small bags filled with hot salt or sand are very useful where there is small baby. They may be placed at the baby's feet, next to its stona- ach when it has the collie, and under the covering at night. They are especially convenient on long auto mobile rides. They hold an even temperature longer than the clumsy hot water bottle, and they may be pinned to the covers.

 which side my bread is buttered on. But do not believe will ever come in contact with the paper 1 have in mind. It is published across the sea and I am very poor sailor. So think I can say what 1 want to with inn punity.
 The Paris Soir has made an investi- gation of why girls bob their hair and has come to the conclusion it is be- cause women are lazy. The newspaper finds that 1J per cent of society women, S5 per cent of the actresses and 90 per cent of the stenographers and shop girls in Paris have bobbed hair. The women are reported to have said that bobbed hair is easier and quicker to arrange, saves waiting hours for coiffeurs. econo- mizes in money and permits more ac- tive life.
 Are we lazy?
 I call jury of my readers to give heed to the reasons the women have given and see if they will render a ver- dict of guilty of laziness. The jury can be composed entirely of men if so de- sired. Men at one time wore long hair and ringlets. Perhaps they discon- tinued that fashion because their pres- ent style is easier and quicker to ar- range. Are men lazy?
 This is the day of time saving de- vices. Are we to be convicted because we try to conform to the labor saving ideas in accordance with the times? If women have to wait hours for coiffeurs they become very weary and weariness is not a thing to be desired in anyone. Waiting is also a waste of time. As far as economizing in money is con cerned, l do not agree. We can wash. we can curl, and we can dress our hair but we cannot cut our hair so that it is more expensive to have ones hair cut every ten days than to wear it long.
 I have a great deal of faith in the philosophy of Marcus Aurelius. His ad- vice is Always take the short cut; and that is the rational one. There fore say and do everything according to soundest reason" Of course, I do not know whether Marcus Aurelius was speaking of hair or not. But he seems to infer that short cuts are ac- ce rding to soundest reason.
 Life is activity. Death is non- activity. We all want to live. A per son who is lazy is inactive. If bobbed hair permits more active life, I think the learned newspaper has drawn the wrong conclusion.
 The fact that so many of us have bcbbed hair proves that we are not lazy. The newspaper is convicted by the tes- timony of its own witnesses.
