FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
You cannot separate charity and re-
ligion.—Colton.
Mothers have frequently sought the
advice of clothing specialists of the
Bureau of Home Economics of the
“United States Department of Agri-
culture on dressing their children in a
healthful, practical way. Children
are extremely active, and the clothes
they wear must be suited *o this in-
cessant activity and allow complete
freedom of movement. When they
are about 8 years old they should be-
gin to dress themselves, which is only
possible if their clothes are planned
with this definite end in view. The
laundry problem is one of the most
important, and much time can be
saved, especially in the ironing, if
the designs are carefully chosen.
One-piece “rompers” answer these
various needs better than anything
else, but there are certain points
about their design that should be
given attention, whether the mother
makes them at home or buys them
ready-made. Cotton fabrics of fast
«color and firm weave stand the nec-
essary washing best. At the same
time the material should not be too
clumsy and heavy, for it must permit
a good circulation of air and some
penetration by the sun’s rays. In
summer time transparent tops are
often recommended for children’s
“sun suits.” The design of rompers
should be simple so that they can
‘be easily made. Collars and other
unnecessary ornamental features are
‘better omitted. Rompers may often
“be ironed with a mangle if the design
is simple and the buttons are flat.
To aid in self-dressing, rompers for
‘those over 3 years old should be open
down the front. They should have
fairly large, easily managed buttons,
and firm buttonholes. Buttons for
‘the drop seat should be placed toward
the underarms where the child can
reach them. If there is a belt it
should be divided at the sides and ar-
ranged so that the front buttons will
not have to be unfastened to drop
the back.
Raglan sleeves of the kimona style,
with'a seam on the shoulder are rec-
commended to allow freedom of
movement. There should be plenty
of fullness across the chest. Straight
legs or those with loose bands, not
elastics, are preferred. The distance
between the shoulder and the crotch
and the width between the legs should
be generous. All points receiving
strain, such as crotch seams, pockets,
and pocket tops, should be stayed and
double sticthed. This may be often
accomplished by using felled seams,
Buttons should be sewed firmly with
a shank. Rompers of special design
for young children have been planned
by bureau specialists, and information
about them can be obtained on re-
guest.
Whether or not one is in sympathy
with the “more elegance in dress”
movement, it must be admitted that
the results are bound to be interest-
ing and. varied. No longer can a
group of women be described as
dressed as alike as two peas in a
ped. One-piece, loosely belted dresses
and cloche hats, which all the women
of the world akin, have passed. In
their place has come a bewilderment
«of design and color and a great con-
‘tradiction of line.
If one does not believe that waist-
lines have risen in the world, just
try slipping into such dresses as were
worn (say) four years ago. It is
amusing now to see how elongated
waists were then. In shortening the
waist, the correct proportions were
attained by shortening the skirt as
well. While it is still the exceptional
dress that has a waist at the normal
line, many do approach that point.
It is curious, too. to take note of
the number of ways designers have
taken in calling attention to the
waistline and to the hips. Bands,
straight, diagonal, circular, and criss-
cross, appear to be the more general
method. In listing popular trimming
devices, one is immediately struck by
the prominence of banded effects,
Whether in self or contrasting mater-
ial,
The ensemble still dominates the
formal mode and one of the most ef-
fective exponents of this fashion is
seen in an evening frock of green
match.
Light colored kid slippers for after-
noon have hand-embrodiered inserts,
straps and heels of elaborate design
‘to match the gown they accompany.
LONDON.—An application for a
license to operate a massage estab-
lishment where American X-ray ap-
paratus destroying superfluous hair

The council’s medical officer stated
that the risk of cancer developing

beautification “not only undesirable
-and unjustifiable, but an actual dan-

SHE’S FROM PARIS
French Women Have Variety
of Pet Names.
Paris.—“Cabbage,” “White Rabbit”
and “Five-Footed Calf’ are among
the multitude of pet names the
Frenchwoman picks out of the vegeta-
ble, animal and mineral kingdoms.to
bestow on those she loves.
“Toutou,” formerly applied exclu-
sively to little dogs of the Fido vari-
ety, is hung on husbands and sweet-
hearts with great generosity these
days. Ordinary names seem to lack
the broad scale of feeling women
wish to express.
“My Little Cabbage” is used cur-
rently by the push-cart fruit and veg-
etable sellers who gather in the city
markets in convenient side streets. It
is applied to servant girl or mistress
alike regardless of size or shape.
“My Little Blue Doll,” “Green Rab-
bit,” “Kitten,” “Cat,” “Golden Angel,”
“Duck,” “Yellow Chicken,” “My Su-
gar Hen,” “Love,” “Agile Rabbit” are
terms of endearment that flow from
the mouths of women in France.
One extravagant phrase is “My
Camel of the Desert,” which is capa-
ble of several meanings. As an ex-
pression of affection if might take a
prize, but shouted at a taxi chauffeur
it would start a fight. “Camel,” for
some occult reason, is a challenge and
a battle cry, in anger, but a mother
or wife can make it a poem.
Then there are a dictionary full of
names spoken in mock anger such as
“Sewed-Up Mouth,” “Mule Head.”
“Indescribably Individual” and “Twist-
ed Head.”
Indians Erect Hall
for Tribal Dances
Tower, Minn. — Nature's limitless
cheater has given way to a snugly
heated hall for the Indian's savage
dances. :
Poets have sung of the beauty of
the Indian dance performed on the
rolling plains, against a background
of towering trees and mayhap a
twinkling lake or two. But when the
Chippewa Indians in the Lake Ver-
million country of Minnesota get
ready to observe the change of the
seasons with savage steps, they re-
pair to a well-lighted and heated
hall, take down their clubs and head-
dresses from neatly labeled hooks
around the wall, and do the dances of
their forefathers in comparative com-
fort. a ¥
They erected a building just for that
purpose—because it's more comfort-
able. There is a concrete floor and a
pit for the drummers. John Wauwe-
gan, son of an old chief and one of
the drmmers, explains that when the
dances were held outdoors' the dust
from the terpsichorean grind, whick
frequently ram’ into days, all but
smothered dancers and drummers.
An “orchestra” pit in the center ot
che hall accommodates the drummers.
Headdresses, beads, bells, sashes and
war clubs are hung around the wa'l
with a peg for each person.
Dances soon will be in full sway in
sbservance of the fall harvest of wiid
rice and blueberries,
British Government
Builds Million Homes
f.ondon.—The millionth house to be
built under the British government's
housing scheme, inaugurated after the
World war, has been completed and is
ready for occupation.
government statistics show that
£ngland is becoming a nation of small
property owners, each individual 4
small capitalist in his own right.
More than 600,000 new houses will
nave been bought outright during the
period from 1923 until the end of 1927
by middle-class and working-class per-
Sons.
A great majority of these houses
nave been obtained through the in-
stallment plan and building and loan
societies, by bank mortgage, or by spe-
cial facilities afforded by speculative
builders. British building and loan
societies advanced $260,750,000 in
1926 for the purchase of houses, help-
ing 114,000 people to become the own-
ers of their own property. :
Money invested in war savings cer
cificates is more than $3,220,000,000
nearly all from the small capitalist.

Angry Church People
- Block Sunday Golfers
Aberdovey, Wales.—The Sab-
bath calm of this Welsh seaside
resort has been disturbed by the
decision anmounced by the lo-
cal golf club to permit play on
Sundays. Welsh church leaders
are up in arms against the de-
cision and crowds of angry
townspeople have invaded the
links for several Sundays and
prevented all play. :
The links are -on common land
where the people have pasturage:
rights. An ultimatum has been
sent to the golf club threaten-
ing to put “all manner of
beasts” to graze on the links if
Sunday ‘play fs persisted in.

Sicily Can Boast of
Many Famous Cities
Sicily, named by its admirers “L’Is-
ola Incantevole”—island of enchant-
ment—is situated at the very toe of
the boot made by Italy, as if about to
be kicked out of th~ way, and is in-
cluded in the possessions of that coun-
try. It is a colorful island in old his-
tory. Before the Trojan war—fire
kindled by the light of a woman's
eyes—the Phoenicians sent colonies
to Sicily. Syracuse, its principal city,
is named by St. Paul in The Acts:
“And landing at Syracuse we tarried
there three days.” Thucydides wrote
of the great sieges occurring four cen-
turies B. C. against Syracuse, placed,
as one writer expresses it, for both
war and commerce in the very center
of the ancient world. Two centuries
later the old mathematician Archi-
medes held at bay for three years the
fleets and armies of Rome before
finally capitulating and yielding Syra-
cuse to its enemies. Messina, another
city old in story, was founded by the
Greeks more than seven centuries B.
C. and is the chief commercial town
of the island. Catania, a city of
beauty with its palaces, villas and
orange groves, is seated at the foot of
Aetna, a volcano with a record of
many eruptions. Palermo, the cap-
ital, is a most interesting city, facing
the deep blue sea. In its great cathe-
dral repose the bones of Emperor
Frederick II, a ruler with an intel-
lectual development some two cen-
- turies ahead of his time and conse-
quently misunderstood.
Marvelous How Birds
Wing Back to Home
Bird lovers have believed for cen-
turies that migratory birds return to
the same home, year after year. Mod-
ern science has proved this belief to
be right. Birds are caught in traps
that do not hurt them, marked with
tiny leg bands of aluminum, each bear-
ing a number, and released. Next
year, the same birds are caught again
in the same locality, often when oc-
cupying the same nest.
Evidently, a bird’s memory for dr
~ection and location must be quite as
marvelous as the older writers be-
lieved. The catbird winters as far
south as Panama, yet catbirds marked
in northern Ohio came back to the
same neighborhood, year after year.
Sometimes they move a few rods or
furlongs, but the frequency with
which they return to the very spot is
astounding.
Cats find their way back to the ol
home across a township, horses across
a county or two, and dogs have been
known to pass through several states
in returning to a beloved master, but
birds find their way across a con-
tinent, and sometimes over a sea as
well,
Geographic Joke
Panama perpetrates one of the
greatest of ‘geographic jokes on those
who visit it. It convincingly makes
cast west. From Panama City the
sun rises out of the Pacific, which to
most American minds is the proper
place only for setting suns. And he
who sails through the canal from
the Atlantic to the Pacific traveis
not from east to west, as he natural-
iy expects to do, but from west to
east, or, more accurately, from north-
west to southeast. One gets the im-
pression, as one writer has phrased
it, that, “there is something crooked
about this.” The crookedness is found
to be in the isthmus, which runs pre-
dominantly east and west, instead of
north and south, and in addition
makes a double curve like the letter
8, so that at one place the Atlantic
waters are actually west of those of
the Pacific.—National Geographie So-
ciety Bulletin. :
Wanted, Temperature!
Last winter Mr. and Mrs. Brown
were ill with the “flu” in separate
rooms. One morning, hearing a con-
versation going on between the col-
ored maid and Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown
asked the maid when she entered her
room if Mr. Brown had any fever. The
maid replied that she did not know.
Mrs. Brown then said to the maid:
“Go and ask Mr. Brown if he has any
temperature this morning. Tell him
1 haven't any.”
as the maid left the room, she left
che door open, and Mrs. Brown over-
heard the following conversation:
“Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown say 1s you
zot any temperature this morning?”
Mr. Brown replied: “I don’t know
whether I have any or not, Lucy.”
And the maid sald: “Well, if you is
got any she wants some, cause she
ain't got none this morning.”—Youth’s
Companion.
Playing-Cards Differ
American playing-card manufacgur-
«rs have a profitable market awaiting
them in Mexico and other Spanish-
speaking American countries. But
cards ‘must be of patterns different
from those to which Americans are ac-
customed. People in those countries
demand the Spanish pack, which coun-
sists of only 40 cards, and tens. Fur-
thermore, the face cards are different.
The ace (called ‘“as”) is much like
ours; the “rey” (king) wears a crown,
the queen is represented by a young
woman, and the jack (“caball”) is a
horse.
Most of the playing cards used in
Spanish-American countries are” im-
ported from Spain, and are smaller
than ours. Commonly ‘they are thin
and flimsy, so as to be hard to shuf
lle, and tearing easily. :
Dared Instant Death 8
to Save Father’s Life
A daring climb was accomplished at
Repton, in Lancashire, England, some
years ago, the exploit being kept in
memory by a frayed fragment of cord
that used to dangle from the cross
surmounting the lofty spire of the vil-
lage church, and which was known
locally as “Little Bessie’s Rope.” Bes-
sie was the daughter of a Repton
steeplejack who one day, in a spirit
of bravado and in order to win a bet
of a few shillings, undertook to climb
to the top of the spire and there don
a suit of clothes with which he had
been presented.
True to his word, he fixed his lad-
ders on the day appointed and climbed
by their aid as far as the bottom
of the big copper ball which upheld
the cross. Over one arm of the cross
he then lassoed a rope, up which he
climbed, and afterward proceeded to
don the clothes. Next, standing up-
right, he started to throw into the
air, one by one, his old garments. Sud-
denly, however, there was a cry of
affright from above, followed by a
great hush below. The foolish fellow
had somehow managed to loosen the
rope, his sole connecting link with
terra firma, and it slipped down and
hung suspended from the topmost
ladder, 30 feet below. Two or three
men moved hesitatingly toward the
church, but a child-woman of sixteen.
his daughter, was there first.
Rung by rung she mounted until she
looked no bigger than a doll. Then,
after three failures, clinging mean-
while by one hand—and that one the
left—she succeeded in throwing the
noosed cord over the cross once
more,
Philosophy for Those
Who Think of Suicide
i remember, years ago, a short edi-
torial, apropos of some notable and
particularly pitiable case of suicide,
that appeared ‘in one of the London
papers. It was entitled “Tunnels.”
I recall very little about it, save
chat it aroused much comm:nt, and
contained this one great thought: “If
only people would realize when they
are passing through a hard time, no
matter how hard, that they are mere-
ly passing through a tunnel, and that
to jump out of the train in the mid-
dle of the tunnel neither mends nor
ends anything, but only adds to the
toil and the tears, and pcstpones
what is, in any case, inevitable: an
ultimate re-emergence into light.”
Those are not the exact words, ot
course, but so it was in effect. The
simile has always seemed to me a
strikingly just one, for it holds every
way. The longer, the darker, the
more sulphurous the tunnel, the more
certainly is a leap from the train a
leap from the frying pan into the fire.
At that moment, for us, there is ne
better 'ole—Hugh A. Studdert Ken
aedy in the Century Magazine. .
The Water Spider
A correspondent of English Coun-
.cy Life describes a peculiar spider
that lives under water the greater
part of its life. It builds a dome-like
nest of silk among weeds in ponds and
ditches, and fills the nest with air.
in that strange house it lives and
lays its eggs. In autumn it makes
another nest at a greater distance
below the surface of the water, and,
having sealed itself inside, it sleeps
until spring. Taken out of the water,
the spider looks like any other, but as
soon as it is put back, the bubble of
air that it collects round its body
makes it look like a ball of quicksil-
ver. It is the only spider that has
taken to a wholly aquatic life, saye
the writer.
Crow Feathered Outlaw
The crow has but few human
friends, and possibly none outside its
own family, Even its feathered
neighbors do not care about it. Crows
seem, however, to esteem each other's
companionship, judging from the fact
that a crow fis seldom seen alone.
They do their day’s work, be it good
or bad, in groups; they spend consid-
erable time holding meetings by thou-
sands, and they travel in somewhat
army fashion.
Crows are neither admired noi
loved. Hundreds of birds have been
given honorable places in literature,
but if the crow is introduced, it is us-
ually for the purpose of adding one
more melancholy feature to a melan-
choly scene,
The Mocking Future
To do good is the only way to be
Jaappy. Some people seem to deceive
themselves, trying to speak of their
way of life in the past or in the fu-
ture, but not in the present. Nothing
so impedes true happiness (which
consists in living a good life) as the
habit of expecting something from the
future; whereas for true happiness,
which consists in inner self-content,
the future can give nothing and ev-
erything is given by the past. The
younger a man is the less he believes
in goodness, though he is more credu-
lous of evil.—Tolstoy.
Clergy Forced to Shave
All of the ancient inhabitants ot
central and western Europe went up-
shaven, although Julius Caesar says
the Britons only allowed the mustache
to grow and cut off the chin foliage.
Early in English history the clergy of
England were compelled to shave.
One writer of the Seventh century
says the clergy were so dissolute that
they could be distinguished from the
laity only by their lack of beards.

Two Boyhood Chums
“Who's there?”
This snappy question shot forth
from the lips of Goldstein Bigpurse,
owner of one of the finest offices near
the Mansion house.
“Only me,” came the answer, and
the burglar turned his lantern upon
himself at once and on each side of
him to show that he was telling the
truth.
“You?” cried the multi-millionaire.
“You? Why, so it is! You—Bill
Bluffem, my school chum, my faith-
ful companion in all schoolboy pranks.
Great Scott! And fallen to such
depths!”
“Well!” exclaimed Burglar Bill. “If
it ain’t Goldie, me old pal! I know
all about you. You're president of
one of the largest financial skindi-
cates in this country, and I ain’t noth-
in’ but a common, ordinary burglar.
Boo-hoo! If you let me go this
wunst, I promise never to let you
catch me again! Will yer?”
“Ha, hal!” laughed the financier.
“Let you go? Well, I should say not.
No! Never! For I'm going to make
you a partner in the skindicate. For
years I have been looking for a man
with the proper training.”
So saying, the two pals embraced
each other fondly.—Houston Post-Dis-
vatch.
A Generation
A generation is a single succession
in natural descent, the children of the
same parents; In years three genera-
tions are accounted to make a century.
The term generation is also applied
to the whole body of persons of the
same period or living at the same
time, as the present generation. The
term is sometimes used with reference
to the average lifetime of all persons
or synchronous age. The historical
: average, or that of all persons who
| pase the stage of infancy, is commonly
reckoned at about thirty years, while
the physiological average, or that of
all who are born, is only about seven-
teen years.

Electric Current Applied to Soil.
What is believed to he a new appli-
cation of electricity to agriculture has
been undertaken on a large farm near
Leroy, N. Y., and is being watched
with great interest by electrical engi-
neers and farmers, according bo oe
Pennsylvania Public Service Informa-
tion Committee. :
For three weeks in June a field of
fifteen acres was worked with an elec-
tric gang-plow, which impregnates
the soil with a current of 103,000
volts. This process, it is said, not
only destrops weeds, bacteria, and
grubs, but restores the fertility of
the soil without the use of fertilizers.
Corn planted in the electrically
treated soil was dp in five days as
compared to sixteen days required in
similar, but untreated, land, accord-
ing to the reports. Beans and po-
tatoes have also shown extraordinary
Seon in sprouting in the “electrified”
and.
Another application of electricity is
reported by the Swedish Agricultural
Department, which is successfully
forcing the growth of farm products
and flowers by electrically heating
the soil. The department by this
method produced spring vegetables at
a time when all othef soil was frozen,
according to the reports, and had
‘lettuce ready for the table in March.

About Selecting Meats
The most satisfactory way to buy
meats that we know of is to induce
friend husband to come with you to
our butcher shop to assist you in
your selections. As a rule men eat
more meat than women and their
tastes and selections are generally
more « reliable. We have all the
meats in season, fresh daily and
tender and appetizing. Try this
plan.
