When Son A-Camping Goes.

If YOUR son is going to be packed
off to camp soon, you had better do
his shopping now. Don't wait until
the last moment, because son may
have to go away and be without the
things he needs when he needs them
most. Many camp, today prescribe a
REGULAR uniform foe their campers.
Most boys go about camp in ath-
ietir jerseys Get the best wolSted
kind. because they wear longer and
are healthier than the cheaper cotton
ones, which give no warmth. You
must measure sons chest to order
them. If he's going to regular
camp, where his jersey will have to
be in camp Colors. consult him about
It. and also as to whether any emblem
should be sewed on.
Young boys wear 'tiappers' at
camp. They are short khaki pants
which come about inches above the
knees. They are practical and COM
Portable. There should be wide loops
for sons camping belt and flap peck
cts in the back. In front there Is
usually a watch pocket on one side
and knife pocket on the other.
Measure sons waist for these, and
also the seat and the length from
waist to knee.
Long base ball stockings are very
practical for camp wear They are
usually rolled down below the knee
and may he procured in camp colors.

My Neighbor Says:

To give a fine polish to linen
use lukewarm water instead OF
cold to break down the starch.
When 1t has been reduced to
the required consistency by
boiling water, add a pinch of
fine salt and stir several times
with a wax candle. This will
h make the iron run smoothly
tand give a. polish to the linen
that nothing else can impart.
Mint and herbs should be
washed in cold water, wrung
dry in cloth and chopped
with a sharp knife. If care
fully dried thus they will be
crisp and, instead of clinging
in wet mass to the knife and
board. will be quickly chopped
to powder. The board also
will not be stained green or
require special attention to
clean.
Fish which contains few
bones may be converted into
filets by dividing the flesh from
the backbone in long. wide
strips and then removing any
smaller bones. Soles supply the
best filets.
To wash silk crepes or
geOrgettes use warm water and
white soap. Do not rub. but
squeeze the garment through a
good sudS. Rinse several times
and iron on the wrong side
when partly dry.
Garbage pals should be
emptied daily and rinsed with
cold water. Once week scald
them with hot soda water and
scrub we'll, then dry in the sun.

moment the Japanese stopped before a
closed door and raped softly.

voice.
The man stepped aside to let Leila
enter and for a moment the girl
paused on the threshold. Then she
was conscious of the fact that the
door was closing behind her and she
walked forward into a room flooded
with rose-colored lights. :
Mrs. Kingsley was lying back on a
Chaise Tongue. A roSe-colored coverlet
lay across her knees. and behind her
golden head numerous pillows were
piled. Leila was conscious of an al
most breath-taking beauty, a miracle
Of pink and white skin, and cerulean
blue eyes under a cloud of golden
hair. Then a tiuty laugh cut across
her consciousness and Mrs. Kingsley
spoke.

has certainly outdone herself this
time. Where did she ever find you?

Deviled Crabs.

Put the crab meat in a bowl and
mix with it an equal quantity of fine
bread crumbs. Work one-half cupful
of butter to light cream, add one
half teaspoonful of mustard, one tea
spoonful of salt, a few grains of
cayenne, and stir a little at time
into the mixed crab meat and crumbs.
Fill the crab shells with the mixture,
sprinkle buttered bread crumbs over
the top and brown quickly in hot

college student of any former day, the

Setting forth that in view Of the
fact that moral and social concepts

resolution said:
"A comparative analysis of present
concepts of moral and social obliga,

suited in the conclusion that the pres

Emmanuel Ross, 18-year-old slayer
as his attorneys, Alexander III. Martin
and Miss Louise J. Pridgeon, began
a new battle to save the youths life.
Judge Samuel II. Silbert of Com
mon Pleas Court issued a reprieve
and a recommendation for stay of
execution, which resulted in a two
weeks reprieve being granted by
Gov. Donahey yesterday.
Judge Silbert's recommendation and
his reprieve was issued on the claim
of Ross attorneys that his trial and
conviction were illegal, inasmuch as
the case was not taken in the
Juvenile Court before indictment by
the grand jury. In a motion filed
today it was asked that the death
sentence be set aside and Ross be
given a new trial.
The motion to set aside the convic-
ton probably will be heard next week.
The youth was convicted last
March of the killing of Isidore Steeck
during a robbery in the latter's store.

Would correspondingly increase her
credit, "and | fear as her credit is
increased 1t will be employed for the
purpose Of adding to the war forces,
rather than for the relief of the
people.
We are told that we are losing
our markets abroad. and those who
would cancel our debts say that we
would regain these markets If we
cancel the debts. MY belief
is that whether this debt is conceled
or not. Europe will buy where she
can buy the cheapest and sell where
she can get the best price for her
product.
we are not asking for a mortgage
