MAY HOUSE-CLEANING

May is, perhaps, the busiest month
! in the whole year. The hOme-maker
/ feels that she should use all Of her
time in sewing, all of it in house
cleaning, all of it in gardening and
outside work.
The cellar requires very particu-
lar care at this time. The furnace
fire is presumably out, so have the
furnace thoroughly cleaned and put
in order, making any necessary re-
pairs in order to be ready for an un-
expected cold snap in the fall. Have
the smoke-pipe taken down, cleaned
and returned to place. Start a little
blaze weekly to keep the house dried
out, using the contents of the scrap
baskets, thus accomplishing double
good. This is a better plan than to
keep the pipe down through the sum-
mer-but only on the condition that
you never forget the blaze.
Open windows and bulkhead and
give personal supervision to the
work of cleaning the cellar. If one
can afford a minimum of service
only, a day of a handy-man's time is
most valuable here. Have him brush
down the walls, brush dust from top
of furnace and all pipes-making as
little dust as pOssible-split up
broken boxes and boards for kind
ling, pile wood, and lastly sweep up
floor, using damp sawdust to lay the
dust. I keep a box of saWdust on
hand for the more frequent sweep
ings. 1t is convenient to save a pile
of the best accumulated boards, to
use in hOme-talent carpentry and re-
pairing.
Adopt, in the interests of tidiness,
the army principle of keeping all
utensils hung up if possible. A light,
clean part of the cellar often makes
good and convenient toOl-room.
Equip this gradually with the most
necessary tools. Arrange a hanging
electric light overhead.
Clean out the preserve closet and
wash it's shelves. See to it that not
a particle of decaying vegetable mat
ter turks in a dark corner. Throw
away empty bottles and imperfect
fruit-jars. A small coset knocked to-
gether to hold screens may often be
conveniently located in the cellar, if
dry. Swing shelves in the fruit clos
ct conveniently to hold fall fruit
pears, grapes and so forth; pickles
and salt vegetables in crooks, also
emptied fruit-jars and jelly tumblers.
After the floors are swept, mop lib
orally every corner. Leave the win
dows open until everything is thor
oughly dry and sweet. Whitewash
the walls occasionally.-From The
Designer Magazine for May.

WANTS GIRLS SENT
TO TRAINING CAMPS
Brooklyn Miss Asks Coolidge To
BE Square And DO Something
For Her Sex.

"Is that square, Mr.. President?'
Miss Helen MalOney of 2,211 Eighty
second Street, Brooklyn, asked the
President in a letter she wrote to
him recently calling attention to the
fact that while boys are urged to at
tend military training camps annu-
ally girls are denied that privilege.
Miss Maloney's letter appealed ra-
ther strongly to the President, who
referred it to the Secretary of War,
whose department, in letter writ
ten by Major Gen. Robert Davis, re-
piled to Miss Maloney that under the
law girls cannot be permitted to
take part in the training afforded by
the Citizens Training Camps.
Il represent a number of girls
with a grievance" Miss Maloney
wrote to the President. I'VE are dis
satisfied with the way the Govern
ment treats girls. We think girls are
Just as important to this country as
boys, and they should receive the
same opportunities from the Govern
ment that boys do.
But they don't get them, the way
things are now. The Government
takes and trains thousands of boys
every summer at citizens training
camps free. Any boy can go there
and learn to hike, camp, swim and
shoot. They are shown how to take
care of themselves in the outdoors.
What does the Government do for
the girls?"
Besides, these boys at colleges
are kicking against the training they
get for nothing, while girls in the
same universities go out and prac-
tice rifle shooting on their own time
and expense without any encourage
ment or instruction whatever from
the Government.
"Still, it seems girls are not worth
bothering about. After showing their
desire to develop themselves they
find that only the great and wonder
full young men are to be given the
chance to go to the C. NJ. T. camps
this summer.
us that square, Mr.. President?"
General Davis replied in part as
follows:
"As you probably know, the train
ing camps as conducted at present
have for their fundamental purpose
the training Of students to become !
reserve officers and non-cOmmission- |
ed officers in the United States Ar
my. Under the law only men are
qualified for such position, and Con-
gress has made no provision for |

TOURISTS AND THE TOLL BRIDGES

The American Automobile Associations
tiona touring board, after careful survey of the
field, estimates that nine million automobiles will
carry thrtysix million people long tours in the
United States this season. A tremendously large
portion of these millions of tourists will naturally
visit the state of Florida and most every COM
ing to the Land of Flowers would be sure to grasp
the opportunity of driving over Monroe county's
scenic highway to the Fairyland of Florida, and
they were completed
But the revenues from the toll bridges would
not come alone from tourists and joyride parties.
Commercial transportation is to represent
large portion of the income from the bridges. Firms
in distributing points on the mainland would i'm
selling goods to local merchants direct from large
trucks, and truck lines would spring up to haul
merchandise to and from Key West In this was
the freight situation during winter seasons would
be greatly relieved and the necessity for
bargoes, such paralyzed business here last win
ter, will be in measure removed. While at the
same time it will mean large income for the toll
bridges
However, it is but reasonable to expect that
the most of the tolls will be collected from tourist
and pleasure parties. So let Key West adopt the
slogan eff You Haven't Been to Key West, You
Haven't Seen Florida" and keep on telling it to
the whole wide world in every conceivable way
possible.
But upon the building of the bridges prac-
tieally rests the future of Key West and Monroe
county. With them this community goes forward,
without them go back Those who vote 'No"
in the referendum next Tuesday, and claim to be
interested in the welfare of Key West are certain
ly occupying a very strange position.

PRICES STILL HIGH

The high range of business and industrial
which the people can we'll rejoice The past five
years have on the whole been period of very good
times. And yet it is greatly to be regretted that
prices still keep up their very high level. Nothing
seems able to bulge them very much
If in any industry economies are made so
the workers in such industries are apt to demand
higher pay, which makes it necessary to keep prices
up to the old level. The increased pay may in
many cases be justified, and yet these conditions
are hard for vast of people whose income
has never risen to an extent comparable to the
advance in prices.
Millions of people on fixed salaries do not
have much greater income than they had 10 years
ago. The farmers are the most numerous class
of all who are thus affected as their products do
not as rule bring as good price. relative to the
price of factory products, as they used to bring
before the war
The unrest in the farming districts, which
promises to be prominent factor during the COM
ing political campaign, has grown out of this dis
proportonate state of things The country will
find it difficult to settle down to permanent
equilibrium, while prices stay on their present high
level.
Business will have to be conducted on narrow
margins of profit, since so many people feel the
necessity for economy, and will shop around good
willie to find anyone who win provide them service
and merchandise at prices below the average 1t
Is good time for advertising because the millions
Of people whose incomes have not kept pace with
the level Of prices are looking for chances to save
money.

YOUTH IN POLITICS

Dan Moody, who viii be the next governor of
Texas only ss years of age. and it is said he will
be the youngest governor in the history of the
states Not many men get so high up in political
office at that age.
L is often remarked that youth has more con
troll over our affairs than ever before. This is no
dOubt true in business where the viewpoint OF
young and energetic and hustling men, with all the
enthusiasm and confidence of youth is greatly de-
sredsand many young men have had fine technical
training.
Politics, however, is different game, Ii
you 90 through congress snd the legislatures, you
find Ehe great majority Of these positions held b.
middle aged and elderly men.
This does not necessarily prove that the young
man can not get on in politics. Mr.. Moody has
shown what they can do. Many of them win sue
cess by their enthusiasm, aud the thoroughness
with which they take hold OF the problems Of their
state and country, BIT political success calls for
one e. the most difficult kinds of knowledge and
experience that of human nature
Many young men in politics fail because Of
their lack of this form Of wisdom. They obtain
a theoretical view Of the problems Of politics but
have not sufficient background Of experience to
know how things win work out and how people
win take to ideas.
We need more young men in politics Just as
we need young men in business. The elder men
become too cautious and polite, and too fear
full Of defeat. and often they become cynical about
reform movements, and inclined TO let things drag
along in the old rlt The young mans nature is
more hopeful and he is more likely to take risks
in a good cause. We need the courage Of youth
as wei as the experience Of age in the cause Of
good government
