Packing A Trunk Sometimes
 Problem

DACKING a wardrobe trunk is a E very simple task as compared with
 packing a dress or steamer trunk. Wardrobe trunks are now sc conven- iently planned, with jewel drawer, tiny electric iron and pressing board, fold ing mirrow, hat Compartment, shoe bag and laundry bag, that after garments are classified all that remains is to place them in the right compartment, says the Delineator.
 The drawers of wardrobe trunk are from necessity of rather light construc- tion, so that it is not advisable to pack them too solidly with heavy articles.
 Several garments may be hung on each hanger of wardrobe trunk. If this is to be done, generous layers of crushed tissue paper should be placed between them. The most economical method of packing is to hang waists on the waist hanger and then fold dresses and skirts over the. tops of the hangers. Layers of tissue paper must always be placed between the hanger and the garment so that the hanger will not mark the garment
 All hanging ends, such as dress sleeves, belts, sashes and panels, should be pinned to the main part of the gar ment so that they will not drag on the floor when the truck is swung open. Edges of garments hung over the top of hanger may be pinned together about six inches below the top. This prevents them from slipping if they are unevenly balanced.
 Before pushing of swinging the gar ment rod back into place cover the garments, with tissue paper or a cloth cover.
 Dust often sits into the closest trunk and suitcase. A large rectangle of close, fine material, such as pongee or cretonne, may well be used to cover the lower contents of trunk before the tray is packed. Another might be tucked over the contents of the tray.
 The same sort of cover is pleasant to use in connection with packing suit case. The rectangle should be large enough to tuck ina several inches all around in order to keep out all dust. It should be of a close weave material and not bulky.

the Genii saw the Thingum and the Zumzee leave with their nice mama, the Genii walked to where the Raggedys and Mrs. Mingle and Mr. Mungle sat feeding the erums to the little ants. Wont you come into my castle and see the nice things have in there?" he asked our friends.
 Thank you, Mir. Genii!'' Raggedy Ann said, i've would be pleased to see the wonderful things !"
 So the Genii led the way into the castle and slyly locked the door and put the key in his pocket. Raggedy Ann saw him do this, but she did not say anything,

Then when all were listen ing to the magic talking picture books the Genii passed around box of choc- olate candy.
 It was magic candy, but the Rag gedys and Mrs. Mingle and Mir. Mungle did not know it, so when they ate the magic candy they all went to sleep right wherever they happened to be sitting.
 Then didn't the Genii laugh "Aha Y he cried, 'that was the time I fooled the Raggedys! Now l shall own the magical cupboard and shall begin to capture more prisoners right away v And leaving Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and Mrs, Mingle and Mir.

Suggestions For Making Odd
 Handbag
nUITE an odd and attractive hand
 hao nnn hn ado frnrn srnnn rn;nnns

HUITE an odd and attractive hand bag can be made from small pieces
 A of different colored silk by cut ting the silk in strips about three quartered of an inch wide and turning them in so that there will be no fray ing or raw edges and then twisting each strip very tightly.
 After they are twisted they can be arranged so as to form a design and can be sewn in place.
 The colors are the most important thing in the arrangement as they will help to bring out the idea of the design. The design can be drawn on piece of canvas or sateen and may be filled in with twisted silk, the colors being arranged according to ones own taste.
 If you are not good at designing you may be able to make a very ar- tistic bag by sewing the silk on and giving it twist here and there in sort of a scroll pattern, blending one color into another.
 When this much of the bag is com pleted top of some sort will have to be attached. Now the question is what kind of top would be most satis- factory-a frame or a drawstring? The bag with a definite design, the outline of which would be broken by folds made by draw-string, would necessar- fly have a frame, whereas bag with continual design like the scroll pat tern could have either drawstring or q frame.
 The design on bag of this de- scription seen recently represented a landscape and was entirely made of rosettes of twisted silk sewn very tightly together. The sky was of blue. small house in the distance of vel low with small white pieces of silk for windows. Brown rosettes were used to form road leading up to the house and on both sides of the road green rosettCs represented grass.

 And Mrs. Mingle, who had come with the Raggedys to res- cue the Thingum and the Zumzee's nice ma ma, opened her magic cupboard and gave every one a very fine picnic right out in front of the Genii's castle.
 Every one was very ylad to be rescued from the Genii, for some of them had been shut up in the Genii's cas- tie for six years ; and that is a very long time.
 When the Genii saw Mrs. Mingle's magic cupboard, and saw that Mrs. Mingle only had to make a wish and reach inside the cupboard to get what ever she wished for, the Genii said to him self: There is some thing I need !v And he sat down an d scratched his head to fry and think of some

HOW EASY, THE PUBLIC!

!, It is not notorius how small a frac- tion of society takes any interest in the conduct of public affairs? how impor- tant trades union issues, such as a strike, are left to be determined by a handful of the men who are vitally concerned? how great part is played by catch-phrases and relatively unin- portant local issues in our political elections ?-Right Hon.

Some men think they can force their authority on a woman in a relentless manner. They forget that they are not dealing with the. unenlightened woman, but with a woman almost as superior, mentally, as themselves. They think they are living in the days of Napoleon Bonaparte, who said, 'I do not think we need trouble ourselves with any plan of instruction for young females. They cannot be better brought up than by their mothers Public education is not suitable for them, because they are never called upon to act in public. Manners are all in all to them, and mar riage is all they look to,
 But women do not depend upon mar Yiage as a means of existenee. There are certain things we cannot put up with even for love. We all have our peculiarities and temperaments. But so, too, have men.

 likes fleas to such an extent that she was forced to lose her husband because of them. Scayengers are not exactly the sort of companions human beings would choose. On the face of it, fleas taken in conjunction with steady diet of beans would not appear to be con duciye to happiness. It seems to me that variety in food and inhabitants is absolutely necessary.
 My impression has always been that men take wives for better or for worse and the overwhelming ma jority for bet ter. Almost the entire world is hap oily married. Of course there are some exceptions.
 Even if a woman does not care to enjoy the privileges of equal rights in the world at large, she has right to expect to enjoy equal rights in that Underworld of her own choosing and cKeation,-her own home.

LAND IRRIGATED By INDIANS
the System Was in Vogue Among
the Aborigines.

Irrigation began in Texas many
years before the lands embraced
within its boundaries became a part
of the United States, years before
those same lands made up what was
known as the Lone Star republic.
writes James R. Freddy in the Ameri-
can Forestry Magazine.
To bring the time down TO more
tangible date, the first irrigation work
was done-according to tradition
when the Pueblo Indians constructed
the peculiar bitches about Ell Paso
and the Pecos country, which author
tiles of today claim were built for irri-
cation purposes. Another tradition
coming out of the past tells that these
bitches were built by the Yuma In
dams when they were driven west /
ward by the Comanches and Apaches, /
and not by the Pueblos.
When Coronado, the rowing ex-
plorer, opened this country to the
Spaniards he found well-worked irri-
cation systems among the Indians;
this was In 1910 when he was pushing
toward the north. The practice of
Irrigation was continued under the
franciscan fathers. who constructed
the five mission bitches that were
ound near the present city of San

ROMERO DEFEATS STOESSEL IN F
Chilean Heavy Stages Comeback
 in Garden

New York, June i9.--Quintin Ro- nero, Chilean heavyweight, staged a sensational comeback in his Amer imnressivey and decisively outpointed Joe Stoessel, rangy New York heavy weight, in l2-round match at tho Nelodrome A. C. Romero, who was stopped by Floyd Johnson, Iowa heavyweight, in his American debut at Madison Square Garden recently, fought great fight against his Amer ican opponent. ]
 Starting in cautiously 10 feel oui Stocssel, the Chilean gained conf- dence as the bout progressed and in the nfth round took the aggres- sire. From that point on the out come was never a question. His straight right working perfectly and hts craftsmanship good, the South American used his blows effectively, iarrng Stoessel continually. And the lanky New Workers jaw was an ideal target for that straight punch.
 ltomero's showing last night, while it does not entirely blot out his de- feat by Johnson, assures him of a place in the American heavyweight class which will likely result in many more engagements. He is oolorful fighter with good right hand and good defense but his inability to fathorn the American style of boxing ~ill handicap him until experience teaches him this art.
