ening to withdraw unless mining

tv is withdrawn, the Rumanian gov
4ernment is not eoncihatory, empha-

WASHINGTON, July 2S. = The
American government has not
threatened to withdraw its minister
to Rumania because of the new Ru-
manian oil law, considered by the
United States as cohfiscatorv, if
was declared today at the state de-
partment.
This government is considering
asking Peter Augustus JAY, the
American minister at Bucharest, to
return to Washington to report full
" on the law, but it was declared
this should not be interpreted as
" this country's representative.
Although the state department is
as vet without the sofficial text of
the Rumanian oil law, the statute
is understood to provide that with
in ten years time a majority of
the stock of all oil companies in
Rumania must be owned by Ruman-
ians.
The original terms of the law are
understood to have provided for ma
tional ownership of SO per cent of
oil interests within six years. These
terms are said to have been modi-
fled because of the protests of the
American government to provide
for about 81 per cent ownership IN
six years.

SUGGESTIONS THAT
ARE USEFUL FOR
ALL HOME MAKERS

Before putting raisins in cakes
or puddings, try rolling them in
butter This will prevent them
from sinking to the bottom.
One well known authority oil
household lore claims piece of
candy when she is dead tired from
housework perks her up to her
usual speed.
Put piece of camphor away
with that silver that is to be stored
while you are away. Then it will
be shinny and bright when YOU re-
turn home.
So often the screws in eyeglasses
become loose and we have no
srew driver small enough to tight
en- them. A steel pen or the end of
a cuticle knife will answer the pur-
pose.
Persons who store rather large
quantities of potatoes and apples
in their cellars should keep the
door of the cellar closed on warm
days when the temperature outside
is much higher than that where
the vegetables are stored. Open
doors will cause the potatoes and
fruit to sweat which means event
ual decay and rot.

just as if to emphasize the
fact that the weather was warm
ing-up so that old timers in
Imperial Valley could say "this
is like the old days. the elec-
tric juice was shut off for a
few hours Saturday afternoon.
Everyone i'll the valley had the
thrill of knowing how it felt
to be cooked alive.
About 2:l5 p. NJ, when the
mercury reached l04, the buzz
and whirr of electric ians was
stopped and an almost deathly
stiffness prevailed for two
hours and twenty minutes. Folks
had become so used to the purr
of the fan motors that their
ears had to get attuned to the
stiffness again. The fans may
have welcomed the respite from
practically continuous running
tor many days but it is safe to
say the people who sweltered
did not enjoy the time.
The cause of all the trouble
was a fire which destroyed the
power line leading to Imperial
valley at the point where it
passes the Highland Tubercular
Hospital between Beaumont and
Banning The fire spread from
the building to the surrounding
woods making it impossible for
repairmen to reach the break
because of the intense heat of
the flames.

and the break could be reached

The flair-and flare-for bright
red is assuming interesting varia-

without any excuse for it have
bright red ruffles on the skirt and
sleeves. Beige gloves with bright
red frills are also seen.
Hvacinth blue is beginning to be
seen more than heretofore i'll Lon
don, although the color did not
take WE'LL earlier in the season,
perhaps because of the cold wealth

The little hat to which fashion
still clings despite summer sun
comes down now away over the

with uncurled ostrich fronds which
hang over the eyes and down to
the cheeks.
1t might seem as though all the
variations possible had been placed
upon fringe since its introduction

est gowns, invariably adorned with
fringe of surprising length, have
this fringe run through the ma
