g Question:

With Fancywork-Before start
ing to draw the threads on linen
for hemstitching, wet a small
brush, rub it over a bar of soap
until a lather is produced, scrub
the threads of linen that you wish
to draw, and they will pull out
easily.
Washing Windows-Add a little
starch to the water used for wash
ing windows. 1t not only helps re-
move the dirt, but gives lasting
polish.
Removing Mustard Stains -
Mustard stains can be removed
from table linen by washing in hot
water and soap and rinsing in
warm water.
Hanging Pictures-Never allow
picture frames to touch the wall
if it is damp. The frame will soon
become damaged. With a small
tack or gramophone needle, at
tach two small corks at the bot
tom of your frame. These will
keep the frame off the wall.
Beef Juice-To make beef juice
add l pound of fresh, raw, finely
chopped round steak without fat
to ounces of cold water. Add a
pinch of salt, put the beef and wa
ter in glass jar and stand it on
ice, over night. Shake and strain
it through coarse muslin, squeez-
ing hard to obtain all the juice.
Butter Layer Cake-When rasp-
berry jam that is not of firm con-
sistency is to be used for filling a
sponge sandwich cake it is ad-
visable to butter the inner surface
of each layer before spreading it
with jam. This will prevent the
moisture from soaking into the
cake and making it sodden.
Outer Leaves of Lettuce-The
outer leaves of lettuce, often
trimmed off and thrown away, are
more than 80 times as rich in
vitamin A as the inside leaves.

their jubilation rallies the night be-

Republicans the night after the re-

thing to jubilate over? Now the sit

The Literary Digest poll was prac-

cans had to celebrate during the en-

English Recruiting.
THE English are still having
L trouble inducing young fellows
to join the colors. First, the gov
eminent tried to increase enlist
ments by giving every recruit a gid
dy new blue uniform, absolutely free
of charge, and still the lads re-
fused. So now, as an appeal which,
tits believed, no true Britisher can
withstand, the military authorities
announce that, hereafter, Tommy
Atkins will have time off for after
noon tea.
This may be new notion for
peacetime, but, during the great
war, the custom was maintained
even up at the front. Many time
I've seen all ranks, from the briga-
diers on down, knocking off for tea.
However, this didn't initiate
against his majesty's forces, be-
cause, at the same hour, the Ger
mans, over on their side of the line,
were having coffee-or what the
Germans mistake for coffee. And
the French took advantage of the
lull to catch up with their bookkeep-
ing on what the allies owed them
for damage to property, ground
rent, use of trenches, billeting
space, wear and tear, etc., etc.
Did it ever occur to our own gen.
eral staff that guaranteeing daily
crap-shooting interval might stimu-
late volunteering for the American
army?
The Job of Censorship.
n NE reason why moving pictures
~ are so clean is because some
of the people who censor them have
such dirty minds. To the very
pure everything is so impure, is it
not? That's why some of us think
the weight of popular opinion, rath-
er than the judgment of narrow
Drained official judges in various
states, should decide what should
and what should not be depicted.
Anyhow, there are so many movies
which, slightly amending the old
ballad, are more to be pitied than
censored.
Sponsors of radio programs also
lean over backward to be prudishly
proper. But without let or hindrance
the speaking stage, month by
month, grows fouler and filthier.
Suggestive lines once created a
shock in the audience mind. The
lines no longer suggest-they come
right out and speak the nastiness.
Sauce for the goose isn't sauce for
the gander, 'twould senior may
be, after the reformers got through
saucing radio and screen, there
wasn't any left over for the So
called legitimate stage.

How can the producer force the

creased rentals and by tipping up per-

ducer's share of house profits is
jumped and the exhibitors lowered.
Nearly all engagements are now

Is, the producer becomes a partner
with the exhibitor on each engage
ment, sharing with him on a previously
arranged basis, after overhead ex-
pense has been deducted. Few out

any more. The producer insists on
being counted in" when the crosses
are heavy.
However, he does not like to share
an exhibitors losses. For that reason
he tags on the contract a clause which
guarantees him specified amount OF

Mrs. King told Adams she pur-

While the children were not looking.
The boy ate his and became vio-

however, took one bite of her sand

When Jeannne refused to cat her

alone. so I threw both sandwiches
and the poison away" Adams quoted
her AS saying.
Police, called to the hotel by the
womans father, found the dead body
OF her son Jack stretched across a
bed. Mrs. King first told authorities
the boy had swallowed the poison
accidentally after finding it in her

The Office has existed since 1869,

All the Senate criticism to Blacks
selection has come from opponents Of
the original court reorganization bill
Less than half a dozen Senators had
come out publicly against conflrma-

Most of the expressed opposition
was from Republicans-notablv Sena-
shire and Vandenbers of Michigan.
Bridges said he believed Black does
not have the judicial temperament
necessary for Supreme Court JUS
tice." The others did not give their
reasons.
On the Democratic side. Senator
King of Utah. a Judiciary Commit
tee member, objected to the choice.
More significant than the out
spoken criticism-from the stand
point OF votes-was the silence Of
some Of Blacks Democratic COL
leagues. particularly those from his
own deep South Most of the
Southern Senators opposed the wage
and hour bill which he sponsored.
There was no doubt, in view of
Blacks record, that he holds views
closely in line with those OF President
Roosevelt on the breadth of the Con-
stitution and the power of the Federal
Government to regulate business and
agriculture.
Black has been a foremost advocate
OF such legislation and one of the most
outspoken critics of the Supreme Court
when 1t invalidated farm and labor
laws. He was an ardent supporter of
the court reorganization bill.
Although two court bill foes, Burke
and Senator johnson, Republican. of

On Court Reorganization.
Neither the people who wrote nor
the people who approved the Constitu-
ton ever contemplated that the Su-
preme Court should become all-power-

The Constitution is what five of
the Spreme Court justices say it is and

On Social Security.

way We should make the poor house

this is to have old-age pensions in
