1t is quite enough to have to bear the
Edrritation of extreme heat. II, in addi-
ton, one shoulders the work of keeping
large house and several children clean
and provide them with meals and
amusements, one can be forgiven for
being short-tempered.
Adults feel let down and ambition
less, and Just to be civil is burden,
ssInuch less active and amusing. We UNI
Sderstand those emotions in ourselves,
but we become annoyed and aggravated
s when children. for no reason at all,
burst into gusty sobs and refuse to be
scomforted, or brother whines and baby
sfrets, and we say petulantly: II don't
see why you can't try to be good and
z hel" poor mother when it is so hot"
81 What we should know is that heat Is
no respecter of age. and the children
are just as miserable and uncomfo-t-
able and irritable as the adults, with
out ability to relieve themselves except
by crying.
Sometimes on q hot day an accumu-
lation of these ammo anceS will drive a
mother to the breaking point. che

dren, slaps baby's hand and banks at
them all the world like a cross dog
Swapping at flies.
This is the time to take ones self
firmly in hand. Sit down. View tie
distorted universe and deafen ones ears
to the children's walls. Other days are
coming-days that will be cool enough
to prevent work and crying and heat
from snarling dispositions into knots.
Nothing has to be done except to try
TO keep cool. Undress the fretting baby
and sponge him with cool water until
his temperature is lowered and his tenn
per smoothed out Put a large tub Of
water on the lawn or in the basement
and let the children frolic in it until
they have forgotten their irritability.
Lie down for Is minutes until your own
back stops screaming. Realize how
perfectly senseless it is to hate the heat,
and spank tired, hot children.
If we can't have a day that suits us,
make ourselves suit the day. Be lazy.
Allowing ones self to become frenzied
because the temperature wont drop
adds several degrees to our own tenn
peratures. Getting all "het up" is more
than slang phrase.

Reducing Powder

Whenever you see two or three wom-
en- engaged In conversation for any
length of time--and who doesn't?-the
chances are that sooner or later the
topic of fat reduction will be up before
the house.
We may have Amy, Ruth and Anne
deep in such discussion.
Well" Anne confides, st live In g
woman's community club and what l
see there in the line of reducing fadS
is nobody's business. Right now reduce
ing baths are all the rage. Several of
the girls have bought the powder-at a
dollar for 3 or 4 ounce bottle-and
are following the directions religiously."
One of the girls at Anne's club is a
chemist, and, hearing the others en-
thuse over the new fad, decided to an
alyze the powder to learn what magic
chemical it contained.
In this particular case the analysis
showed that the reducing powder was
composed of ammonium carbonate and
starch. In general way it was fair
sample of such powders, though, of
course, the chemical employed may be
EPSON salt, washing soda, baking soda,
Glauber's salt (sulphate of soda) or
ammonium chloride.
The milky appearance and smooth
feeling of the bath water into which
the reducing powder is dissolved Is
caused in most cases by the starch with
which the chemical is mixed, though
the same or similar effect may be pro-
duced by using almond meal, oat-
meal, etc.
When the chemist told all this to the
girls they were very much interested,
particularly when they realized how
commonplace and inexpensive the re-
ducing chemicals were.
Equal parts of starch and of one of
the chemicals named will make as good
a reducing powder, at fraction of the
cost, as any you may buy under a trade
name.
But are these powders really able to
do all that is claimed for them in the
matter of taking Off weight? And how?
The directions on most brands of
reducing powders instruct the user to
place a certain amount of the prepare
ton in hot bath water and to keep the
body immersed in this for some time
After 20 or 80 minutes the bather steps
out of the tub. thoroughly dries the
body and hops into a warm bed, there
to remain another half to three-quar-
ters of an hour.
Then the pores of the body pour out
1t Is a fact that weight

quite a bit about the nuisance OF hav-
leave at home, of arranging our things
SO that they may be transported safely,
and of finding how to arrange things so
that leaSs space will be taken. But,
after all, most of us rather like 1t all,
and the woman who has a maid to take
entire responsibility off her shoulders
misses some of the fun.
If you want to get the best results IN
packing and make unpacking as simple
as the actual packing, here are some
suggestions that may help you:
Always have on hand a plentiful sup
ply of tissue paper. Save the paper that
comes around dresses and hats when
delivered, or get roll of the cheapest
sort of white tissue paper for the pur-
pose. Crumple pieces of the paper up
to use as padding under fluffy ruffles,
lingerie, etc, and put sheets of the pa
per between dresses, suits and coats.
Always pack the corners. Don't sim
ply pack the large things and then stuff
the corners with small articles after
ward.
If you do not have special trunks,
boxes and bags for special articles, but
must pack everything in the same trunk,
always put the heavy things in first.
Lay the shoes in the trunk first. Never
wedge them in after the lighter Things
have been packed. Have bags in which
to put shoes or wrap them in tissue pa
per. II you do not use shoe trees, then
wad the toes with paper or cotton.
Unless you have a special compart-
ment for stockings, the best results are
obtained by packing them fiat, not rolled
and Wedged into corners. Lingerie
should also be packed fiat.
If you have a wardrobe trunk, hang
some of the heavier things top down.
ward, thus making it possible to get
more garments in given space. Hang
ers of the sorts used for mems trousers
may be used to hold separate skirts, belt
downward, and heavier coats may be
hung in this position 60 as not to crowd
too much at the top.

Fashion in Dress
Not EVERYTHING

We are prone to think of fashion as
having to do merely with matters of
dress, and the word style" suggests to
most of use the mode of dress, hats,
shoes, stockings, jewelry or hair ar
rangement. But there are women whose
style of speech sets at naught the good
style of their dress, and whose geS-
lures and carriage discount the pains
taking attention they have given to
the fashion of their clothes.
1t is possible to be well groomed as
to dress--and dowdy and untidy as to
speech.
1t is possible to have ones hair cut
in the latest and smartest mode-and
still to be 10 years behind the times in
conversation.
The line of your dress may be beyond
reproach-the last word in chic--yet the
line of your small talk may be as out
of date and as sadly in need of reno
walton as a year-before-la dress.

having a large flower pot or window
box containing parsley. mint, pepper

New York Sidewalk
Held Birthplace
OF Republicanism
Prof. Commons SAYS
Party Was Founded on
Street Corner in l845
by Bovay.
BY the Associated Press.

RIPON. Wis. May 31.-The sidewalks
of New York-the last place one would
suspect-were the real birthplace of the
Republican party, Prof. John r. Com
mons of the University of Wisconsin
asserted yesterday.
Although the diamond jubilee of the
Republican party is to be held here
June 8, Ripon being selected as having
been the place where the party took
form. Prof Commons said that it was
on the New York street corners in
1845 that the cry for "a full dinner
pail" first went up. Alvan Earle Bovay,
founder of the party, began early that
year to mobilize workingmen in New
York and to draft a platform calling
for free land and the limitation of land
ownership and homestead exemption.
Prof Commons said Horace Greeley
had adopted a platform at that time
and that even Tammany candidates
supported it to catch the labor vote.
They called themselves the Republican
party and predicted that there will be
but two parties. the great Republican
party of progress and the little Tory
party of hold-backs."
1t was from this experience, Prof.
Commons went on. that Bovay derived
the name Republican" which name
was given to his little group of Wings
Free Sellers and Democrats at Ripon,
March 20, 1854.
