The American Gas Association says
that all modern homes will be cooled
in summer within the next five years
Just as all homes are heated now in
winter.
It's a pleasing prospect for those
who can afford it, but the pressing
problem right nov is to provide both
food and shelter for those who are IN
need. And everyone is going to have
to help with the job, including those
of us who see little If any chance Of
ever living in a refrigerated house.

Charles Gray Shaw. a philosophy
professor who started all the TODD
about whistlers being morons, is sorry
about the whole business. He says
the fact that so much fuss was made
about an innocent remark, uttered
half in Jest and half in earnest, shows
the American public needs something
frivolous to take its mind off its
troubles.

Fashions of Today
BY MARIE sHALMAR.
White for Summer.

We would like to find new way to
say that white will be very important
in the well dressed woman's Summer
wardrobe. For ever so many years
fashion reporters have been saying
much the same thing because white is
perennially and undiminishingly i'm
portant in the Summer fashion picture.
But this year it has an importance all
its own.
There is the all-white evening cos
tune of chiffon, organdie or taffeta-
the simple one-piece silk crepe dress
tn ., will be worn for active and spec
tator sports--the all-white bathing
costume-all-white organdie or batiste
for formal afternoon wear.
Pure white with color Is also to be
considered. A clear light red with
white-emerald green with white
white with pink or rose-white with
yellow-whitet with blue. Merely to
mention these combinations is to re-
call some especially smart Summer cos
tune recently displayed.
Among blues those most talked about
at present are navy or marine blue,
skipper blue and ciel blue-which is
nothing more nor less than the French
way of saying sky blue. Greenish
shades of blue, turquoise and aqua
marine, have lost something of their
novelty but their becomingness to sun
tanned skins will surely give them a
new lease of life for Midsummer.

Care of DIV Hair.

While hair which has tendency to
be oily is often more difficult to care
for during the Summer months than
it is during the dry clod days of Win
ter, yet Summer is the time when such
hair and scalp can be greatly improved
through proper care. The sun of Sum-
ner is an ideal tonic for oily hair. The
hair may be free from heavy and close
fitting hats and thus be given a maxi
mum amount of air and sun baths,
which are quite essential.
If miiady will make 1t habit to
give her hair brushing and the scalp
vigorous massage after playing
game of golf or tennis or having
swim she will find herself well repaid
for these few minutes Of extra effort
Make sure that the hair gets O thor
ough brushing every day. Give this in
a daily airing is mlady's best ally in
trying to improve oily hair. 1t is I'M
wise to expose the hair to too much
strong sunlight. but the tonic effect of
daily ventilation in the fresh air and
sunlight is wonderful in its results.
Once a week is not too often to
shampoo oily hair. but many find that
IL IS necessary 10 S1ampoO even Oftener
than this. For such cases it is best to
alternate the soap and water shampoo
with a dry shampoo. This shampoo
may be made of equal parts of bran,
corn meal and dry boric acid: the last
mentioned is an antiseptic and useful
for sweetening the oSor of oily and
perspiring scalp and hair.
A few drops of oil of rose or any IA
vorite perfume may be added. Mix the
ingredients well and put them In a tai
cum powder can with perforated top
50 that they may be sifted through the
hair evenly
In giving the dry shampoo, brush out
the hair thoroughly and divide it into
sections by parting in the center ard
subdiyiding each side into six or eight
parts. Shake a little of the powder
mixture along the partings and on the
hair. Let it remain on few minutes.
Now brush each part of the hair with
long, firm, even stroke This will
brush the powder through the hair and
take the dust and oil along with it.
Take care to brush every particle of
powder out. Finally polish each strand
Of hair with piece of old silk moist
ened with alcohol or toilet water. This
shampoo makes oily or damp hair beau
tiful and fluffy.

A dainty hope chest gift is a boudoir
pillow of fine linen with the initials of
the engaged girl crocheted in filet and
inserted across the lengthwise center.
A f1let crochet band of bridal roses
may edge the initiated section or be
used as a border around the edge of
the pillow. The linen underneath tie
crochet should be cut out SO that the
color of the pillow cover can show
through.
Use fine thread for the crocheting.
This will not make as large inserts as
II coarser cotton were used, but the
lace will be lighter and more delicate.
The case may be entirely of white, or
the crochet work may be white with
any preferred pastel tone for the tex
tile. If color is chosen it should be a
favorite one of the girl for whom the
pillow is made. The order of color
combination may be varied and the
crocheting be done in color and the
case be white, but the effect of this
combination is not so artistic. Another
color scheme is to have the entire case
Of one color, the crochet matching the
linen.
Those who are well acquainted with
color-crochet can develop the initials
In one color with a background in
white or vice versa. The secret of this
crochet is the def slip stitching of
colors arcroSs distances when changes
must be made. When there is long

Of another it is advisable to use more
than one spool of color, describing
an unused color, and taking up the
other without the slip stitching being
needed. Amateurs will find this easier,
and experts will agree that the color
work in filet with its open character
is daintier when color is introduced in
each line by this latter method.
While such pillows make charming
gifts for hope chests, and shower gifts
for ngaged girls, they are welcomed
by all home makers for boudoir pillows
for guest rooms and for personal use.
Such pillows are delightful Christmas
gifts

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mothers are always running up
against problem which disappears
even while they are looking at and
freezing over it, A coming cold, the
imminent arrival Of one or more tenth,
any slight indisposition is rapidly mir
rored by the baby's loss of appetite. One
Of the best of rules Is to remember that
when nature rebels at food. one should
knows better than mother, and Mrs,
G. M. E. need not worry about the
situation she here describes.
There are two problems confronting
me" writes this reader. land I would
Ike your delp with both of them.
My by is 10 months old and
weighs 2512 pounds. He Is not flabby
but as solid as a rock. He has never
been sick day in his life and never
cries. He has a wonderful disposition.
He has two lower teeth and four upper
teeth are just coming through. He has
always had good appetite for his
cereal. fruit. toast, vegetables. custsrd
and milk. But the last two days he has
absolutely refused his milk. Can you
tell me how shall meet this problem?
Also he looks bow-legged when he
stands. We have never forced him to
stand and even now he stands only
when he can pun himself up to some
thing. Surely he can't have ricketts,
with all the cod liver oil and sunshine
he has had?"
The four coming teeth are probably
responsible for the loss of appetite.
Offer the milk at his meals and when
he refuses 1t. take it away and wait
until the newt regular meal. Give him
any food he will take willingly at his
meals. but force nothing. His appetite
will come back with a flourish some of
these days when those four teeth are
in. am not suggesting that teething,
which is going on more or less from
birth, Is any cause for lengthy loss
OF appetite. During the few days when
the teeth are actually erupting, how
ever, there Is usually some bowel dis
turbsnce, sometimes slight rash, pos
sibly fever, and almost always a loss
OF appetite. But this is just a matter
of a few Gays and then it is over.
It Is very doubtful if the baby has
ricketts,, but he is very heavy and ton
young to be walking Get him a play
pen, put him on the floor, and let him
learn to creep or bunch about In any
convenient fashion, instead of en-
couraging hin to stand. A little later
put him ip q sand pile and the exercise
he will get moving about on that thick,
yielding surface will be excellent for
him.

SPRINCTIME
Green Dragon.

The jack-in-the-pulpit, to whose
has been blooming for some time. But
his brother, the green dragon, who
leans toward demonclogy rather than
divinity, is rarer flower, and later
flower
This, If ever, is the time of year to
go looking for him, where he skulks
along in the rich and quiet woods,
along the Potomac and in other low
lying spots, such as those where the
Spring beauty grows and the pawpaw
and clearweed and lizards tail.
The green dragon of drag-n-root is
enough like jack-in-the-pulpi to be
known at once for close-of-kin. But
there are some striking differences,
enc of which is that, instead of hav-
ing two leaves. each divided into three
parts, the green dragon has one leaf
parted into Z to IL long fngerlike leaf
lets.
The pulpitlike leaf, which botanists
call by the lisping name CT spathe, is
long-pointed and twisted, and the
whole flower, being greenish, may easily
escape the casual eye, for 1t can blend
into the woodsy background as clever
ly rs the green batt,ef1ags of Elfland
We talk about the flowers Of green
dragon and -the-pulpit, but
actually the structure of these two
plants, and of all the Gala family, is
much more intricate than any single
blossom can boast. Even the I'M
botanical can see that the pulpit part
of "jack" is no petal, but a specially
modified leaf, curling around the vital
organization of the blossoms.
To be sure, in the Gala lily, which
comes to us from the tropics via the
florists, that leaf has taken on a tex
ture SO white and pure that no modern
wedding would be considered quite
remember the skunk cabbage of last
March. we will see that Gala under
any other meme might smell much
verse and that mere matter of color
is easy enough to change in the plant
world.
Peer inside Of the Unfolding spathe,
and what do you see? A curious fin
gerlike structure, called the spadix, on
which are clustered the true flowers,
minute male flowers at the top, and a
ring of female flowers at the bottom
FIR this reason one sort of arum in
England Is called "lords and ladies'"
Luckily, we have nothing that smells
so dreadful as the serpent flower arum
of italy. In fact, the green dragon is
free from sny strong odor. Rather It
is associated, from the company in
which 1t grows, with the enchanting
aroma of maidenhair fern, of lichen
and Of moss.

FOOD PROBLEMS
Not Too Much Salt.
BY SALLY MONROE.

Be careful not to get into the habit
of using too much salt in the cooking
1t is very easy habit TO fall tnto-a
difficult one to get out of. For we cul-
tivate taste for salt by eating it too
generously, just as we do for anything
else.
OF course, a little salt may be
sprinkled on vegetables before they are
sent to table-and surely some must be
added to meat gravy. 1t is fiat and in
sipid without salt. But the point to
remember is that many of us. as we get
salt than we are accustomed to eating
If the salt is served in the food (only
lightly salted) we can discipline our
selves not to touch the salt shaker or
spoon-and after few weeks we will
not want to.

But on his return Longfoot was too
intent on getting the rest Of that grain
70 notice anything else.
He came back in a hurry, for he
feared that some of his neighborg would
get that grain. I fear he was bit
selfish. He wanted all Of 1t himself.
That isn't as selfish as it sounds, for
you must remember that Longfoot was
living in a place so dry that it was
really desert, so. OF course, food was
not over-plentiful Therefore when
such wonderful bounty as this was
found 1t was natural to want to hoard
It away for future use.
Farmer Browns Boy remained per-
fectly still as he had learned to do
when trying TO make the acquaintance
of the little people back home on the
Green Meadows and in the Green Forest.
Longfoots big eyes took no note Of
him at all. They saw only that de-
licious grain, and he almost ran over
one Of the feet OF Farmer Browns Boy
In his haste to get TO that precious
food Slowly, very slowly Farmer
Browns Boy moved hand forward.
Iongfoot took no heed, he was too busy
stufing his cheek pockets. Slowly, very
slowly that hand moved down. Then
suddenly Longfoot was a prisoner, as
surprised q prisoner as ever was.
Longfoot kicked. He kicked with
might and main Then in minute or
two ne stopped kicking. That hand
holding him was Arm hand. He was
wise enough TO know that 1t was quite
useless to struggle.
There isn't any Use In trying TO get
away while I am held like this"
Thought he. 1.-THE more I struggle the
tighter viii be held. Anyway, perhaps
this giant means me no harm. He isn't
hurting me and perhaps after awhile
he will let me go. He seems friendly.
] don't know what he Is saying, but his
voice sounds gentle
Farmer Browns Boy was quite as
thrilled as Longfoot was startled. He
hadn't really expected to catch Long
foot and he had been a little doubtful
of what might happen If he did sue
coed. About his only acquaintance
with members of the Rat family was
with the big Brown Rats around the
barn at home, and these he knew TO be
ugly fighters. He wouldn't have
dreamed Of even trying to pick up
Robber the Rat, for he knew that the
latter would have bitten his bare hand
savagely. He expected Longfoot to try
to bite, but Longfoot did nothing of
the kind. Not even when Farmer
Browns Boy touched his nose with a
finger did he try TO bite.
He allowed Farmer Browns Boy to
look him all over. to examine those
fur-lined pockets In his cheeks. to rub
his head gently and stroke him. He
was q model prisoner. One thing he
didn't like and that was to have his
tail handled. That long tail, with its
tuft Of hair at the end, was his special
nride. He wanted II left alone.
