Measure and Cut Curtains With Care.
ed view. The suggestions following
apply to making any of these types
of curtains.
Before you buy your material, take
very careful measurements. The bu-
reau Of home economics suggests that
you begin by drawing to scale the
window or group of windows to be
curtained. Then you can plan on the
drawing just what kind of curtains
you will have and how they will be
hung, and measure on the drawing
accordingly. Glass curtains will be
hung from the lowest part of the top
casing and just escape the sill. If
side curtains are used they should be
hung from the middle of the upper
casing and reach the bottom of the
"apron" below the window, or to with
in one-half inch from the floor. The
yardage you buy will depend partly
on the width of the material. Some
materials are sufficiently wide to al
low splitting lengthwise for the two
sides of the window, but ordinarily
two lengths of goods are bought for
each window, even if part of the
width should be trimmed away. Scant
draperies are not attractive
After the length of the finished cur
tain has been estimated on paper and
checked on the window itself, add at
least nine inches to the amount of
goods required for each curtain, for
hens and shrinkage If there are to
be valances, plan to have them one
sixth the length of the side hangings
when finished, and allow nine inches
extra in the same way. The length
of a gathered valance Is usually one
and one-half times the width of the
space 1t must cover.

Steaks and chops may be broiled
with equal success in the gas oven or
in coal or gas range. In either case
the meat gets that delicious broiled
flavor which many persons think can
not be surpassed by any other method
of cooking. In broiling the meat
should be scared at high temperature
first to prevent the escape of the ap-
petizing meat juices. The bureau Of
home economics of the United States
Department of Agriculture gives other
points about broiling steaks in the
gas oven
Select porterhouse or a sirloin
steak from ~ to 2 inches thick. Trim
the steak of excess fat and wipe 1t
off with damp cloth. Grease the
rounds of the broiler and place the
steak on it underneath the fame of

Teaching Lip Reading

For the benefit of children whose
hearing happens to be defective, it is
the custom at present in many states
to give those thus afflicted the benefit
Of some special instruction in lip
reading. The best way Of handling
this problem, 1t has been demon
strated, is by having teachers who are
especially trained to go from school
to school for this purpose. The
classes are small, usually not more
than six or eight students, and the
advantages of the plan is that 1t en-.
ables children to continue their regu-
lar work in the school classes which
suits the parents better than sending
them to special schools. 1t Is also
more economical from the standpoint
Of the educational authorities.

WHISKERS PROTECTION
 AGAINST DEADLY GERMS

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Whis kers are likely to come into fash ion in the Bitter Root valley O. Montana as a result of recent dis coveries by Public Health Servict investigators who have been study ing Rocky Mountain spotted fever there for the past 20 years.
 Unshaven skin, they have learn ed, is less susceptible to the pene trating powers of the virus of the fever tick than skin which has been freshly treated with a razor The valley is one of the few plac es afflicted with this disease. but 75 to 150 cases develop there every year, and since the death rate among victims, is about 9C percent. any measure which offers even the faintest hops of immun. ity is welcome.
 The study which brought out the value of whiskers was under taken after the death some months ago of one of the services em ployes in the laboratory at Hamil ton, Mont. He was the fourth to die among the scientific workers who have been assigned to the difficult task of overcoming the deadly disease. Although like

his oo-workers, this man had been il rather close contact with the irus, examination failed to dis dose the source of the infection which resulted in his death.
 This suggested series of ex- )eriments to determine the pene-
 rating power of the tick virus and If virus obtained from infected blood, and tests made with labor atory animals indicated that the former was more dangerous to handle than the latter When the tick virus was placed on freshly shaven skin, all the ami mals developed the disease. When it was placed on skin from which the hair had been pulled, however, only 70 per cent became infected. Similar experiments with blood virus brought negative results.
 So it is likely that at least all of the men who will work in the new laboratory at Hamilton, for which the state recently appro- priated about $19,000, will be more or less bearded. The laboratory is 10 be built for the manufacture of the vaccine recently developed after long research by Dr. R. R. Spencer.
