alists would fully protect the customs
administration.
Comparative quiet reigned in the
Chinese areas of Shanghai today after
the turbulence of the past two days,
while rain, which is always an eff
fective dampener on Chinese pas
sions, also helped stack the fires of
the incendiary situation.
There was renewed sniping in the
northern Chinese districts and some
fighting between Cantonese and the
Shantungese retreating from 500
Chow. The only other incident worthy
before the British barriers on the
northeast boundary of the interna-
tional settlement, point far removed
from the place guarded by the Ameri-
can marine detachment Despite the
chilling downpour of rain all day
long, the Chapel native district, so
recently the scene of frightful car
mage, staged a demonstration of well
come to the nationalfsts $4,000 per-
sons participating Smaller demon
strations were held in other Chinese
sections.
The general strike situation, which
has resulted in the going out Of about
2O0,0 900 workers, remained about the
same. The strike today of the Chi
nese employees of the customs admin
istration, however, added fresh Sc
we're handicap to the business of the
great port, which already is suffering
acutely because of the tielup in the
postoffice. In British quarters it
was declared that the customs men
were intimidated and were warned
by strike agitators that unless they
quit work gthey and their families
would suffer.
Many shops reopened, decreasing
the idle to that extent
An eye witness who visited Chapel
reported that more. than 1000 houses
were destroyed by fire during the
riots there Monday and Tuesday.
Charred bodies were seen in the
ruins, while weeping men and women
stumbled through them searching for
relatives and for their belongings
They had little success in finding the
latter, for looters had carried off
what the flames spared.
Reports of a great explosion in the
native section last night were con-
firmed, the explosion occurring in an
ammunition dump and causing the
destruction of several Chinese houses
in the vicinity

The Hillsdale Citizens Associa ton
made a plea for better lights along
Nichols avenue at a meeting held

changed to the southeast corner be-
cause of traffic conditions. The plea
for better roads was renewed, citing
Stanton road, Bowen road and Sheri-

Mrs. Raymond T. Baker also
sponsored ecru embroidery-with
scallops edging little tiers that ran
round the frock from yoke to hem.
For unusual treatment OF soft,
patterned fabric, Mrs. McCulloch
Miller's costume yesterday won the
race. OF course the former Flora
Payne Whitney always had flair
for distinctive touches. This gown
was of the softest Of gray, slinky
crepes, with an oddly polka dotted
border in fuchsia and puppies.
Jockey Visor
The border varied the size of the
dots and had some solid colors and
scme Just outlined so the objection
able regularity of most polka-dots
was avoided.
Her hat, too, had its odd touch
draped beret of French gray felt
with just the suggestion of a
Jockeys visor to give it the Saratoga
flavor.
Mrs. Frederick Johnson and Mrs.
William Ziegler also sponsored
prints-the former favoring the cir
cular skirt mode and the latter get
ting STEPPING fullness by side-pleats.
Mrs. j. A. Renahan, has one pat
termed silk that is just delectable.
On white background, splashy
orange flowers vie for color domi-
nance with touches OF lip-stick red
in an outlined flower. Twin white
bands hem the pleated skirt and the
white blouse has two appliqued
flowers livening it-one of the yell
low, one red.
She wore a white wool coat over
it that for its pin-line orange check
and its cunning cape collar deserved
pat on the back.
Puppies are giving a royal touch
b Southampton that I have never
noticed before. Purple and Law
enders are very popular. Mrs. A.
Perry Osborne looked regal in a
longish tunic frock of purple crepe,
with heavy white embroidery band
ing it. Mrs. Martin B. Saports has
several mauve and lavender cos
tunes, as have also Mrs. Milton
Holden, Mrs. Graham Fair Wander
bilt, Mrs. Jorge Andre and Mrs.
George Mesta.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y.
Aug. 15.-Saratoga is just unbeliev-

beds and playing fountains FORM
ing what always maintain is the
most ideal setting anywhere for gay
races.
Every house is taken and the sea-
son has running start toward be-
ing Saratoga's best.
Always individual in everything il
does and sponsors, Saratoga, note
seems to inspire the same spirit in
all the Newporters and Southamp-
toniteS gathered for the races IN
doubtedly they have conserved then
most unusual and smartest clothes
for Saratoga!
Enchantingly lovely as clothes
have been the first few days of the
season, they have one discourag-
ing feature They are, without &
doubt, flirting with the longer skirt
idea 1t is impossible to find 9
single chic costume that doesn't al
least hint at a middle-of -the-cal1
length, with sashes, f1ounces, panel.
or some fluttering something set
ting the new low level Of styles
Longer TUNES, Too,
Next TO longer skirtS, the three
quarter tunics impress me most as
being gesture to new styles. APP
parertly it is to be a three-quarterS
length season, not only for tunics
but coats and suits.
Printed chiffons, crepes, lace
embroidery and combinations Of
these materials lead the alluring
colorful panorama. I note with a
start that it has taken Saratoga tc
put the ubiquitous two-piece jump
er sports costume of jersey or silk
on the shelf, temporarily.
Mrs. John w. Converse summed
up the main new style points in her
becoming costume Saturday. Ecru
lace and eyelet embroidery joined
forces to fashion it. tt finely
pleated skirt was safely and sanely
below the knees and its tunic was
at least three quarters, with surplice
side fastening. A tight gold belt
held it at the waistline.

Useful Lemon

The lemon is one of the most
valuable fruits on the market. Aside
from using it in pie or for a refresh
ing beverage, it is useful in the
laundry, kitchen medicine chest, or
on the toilet table. The lemon
ranks high among fruits to correct
disorders of the liver.
Nothing is better to remove ink
or rust stains than lemon juice and
salt. When you are busy canning
the summer fruit no housewife need
have stained hands if she keeps
near her sink lemon rind, the
acid removes the stain Immediately.
AS lemon juice is good bleach,
it is excellent as a beautifier, for
the hands and face. A glass of un-
sweetened lemonade before break
fast is splendid, or a glass of hot
lemonade before going to bed, aids
in preventing a bad cold.
