iWING ADVICE "SHORT-WEIGHING" THE CONSUMER DISCUSSED BY M'LISS JOHN BARTRAM
IsWHKSir-i1
QET WHAT YOU PAY FOR,
M'LISS ADVISES, OR KNOW WHY
JA Market Adventure Discloses a Wholesale Tend-
eney on the Part of the Petty Merchants v
to Cheat
BErORE I had a. certain Jlttle adven
ture! I had always discounted Ihe
"jnwrns" Ih&t aro current concerning tho
Wily and auccossMt attempts of the pro
frtlelors of the corner groceries In "short
weighing" their unnuspectlng customers.
But yesterday t went out with a friend
wha was provisioning her apartment for
Mveral days, and 1 learned things.
"Come with me," she said, swinging an
Wt basket on her arm with great show
f nonchalance. My friend Mary carries
faef parcels and baskets with an air which
pays more plainly than words! "See what
an Independent woman I arri. I don't
eara a tinker's dam for what my neigh
feor thinks."
But her packnges are nlways such dec
cratlvo affairs and her baskets so unlike
any ono elso's baskets that you feel she
W an arrant "poscuso" all the while.
Into the highways nnd byways wo went,
.hyylng many good things to cat. Some
tilings, Ilka string beans, Mary pinched
Yfltri her fingers to judge whether or not
they were fit for purchasing; others, like
cantaloupes, she elevated with a superior
gooturo to her nostrils and sniffed with
gustatory BnlfTs. Tho tradespeople, seem
ingly, wore much Impressed with the high
brow lady's for she looks like that prac
tical knowledge of foodstuffs. At least I
thought they were Impressed until I gave
up amusing myself by watching Mary
And fixed my attentions on them.
Wo wero at tho cheese counter.
Tho old checso woman whom Mary
picked out "because she was an Interest
ing typo" had a wizened face like the
Witch of Endor.
"A pound of sharp American cheese,"
said Mary, In the crisp tone Bhe. employs
When doing business.
Tho time-saving Mary then gave over
her attention to rhubarb. Tho old chceso
woman took the sharp American cheese
off the scalo when tho Indicator had
barely passed tho mark.
"My friend ordered a pound, not Just
three-quarters," t reminded her.
She regarded me with a flshy eye and
gavo vent to an astonished "Oh!" But
sho added an extra quatter pound of
cheese. Mary was astounded. Bhe said
sho'd been dealing with that woman for
three years and had never before caught
her cheating.
The potato man Inserted a (1st that
would have done Justlco to a blacksmith
Into the dry measure that ho was filling
With tho quarter peck of potatoes wo had
ordered. Mary, now thoroughly alert,
observed him as though ho had been tho
original thief.
"If you remove your fist," she said
tartly when he wns about to dump tho
quarter peck minus Into n paper bog,
"you will be able to get at least four
moro potatoes Into that measure."
Resentfully he unearthed his hand and
added enough potntoes to make a meal
for two persons.
Tho man who sold us bacon had an
affoctlonate little finger which hung onto
our end of tho scale llko a pudgy barna
cle. It was no featherweight, that little
finger, for when ho removed It nt our
request tho scalo went back three-eighths
of n pound.
Up In tho Parkway Building Philadel
phia maintains a Bureau of Weights and
Measures, with John Vlrdln In charge.
The energies of a whole corps of trained
men nre bent townrd protecting women
from fraudulent shopkeepers. Thousands
of false scales nnd measures aro confis
cated annually, but tho city cannot pro
vide an ngent for every woman who goes
a-marketlng. It cannot Insure her against
dishonesty, If, having eyes to see, sho re
fuses to use them.
Our experience was casual. I am suro
that If In the course of an afternoon's
xhopplng three dealers tried to cheat up.
other women must bo suffering likewise.
Do you get what you pay for? and If
not, why not? AI'LISS.

Dear M'Ues WTint klnil of a social or fes

Who wish to raise money for a churcij lunar
Dauphin County. u- "
If your church Is lenient In regard to
dances, card parties or amateur theatricals,
X believe theso toSbe at onco the moat profit
able and least boring of all such affairs.
A lawn party, with all tho girls dressed In
'their daintiest frocks, or a campflre party,
with every ono Invited to come In old
togs and sneakers, might prove good fun.
'You could charge admission to either of
these and soli the edibles after you havo
corralled your crowd.
Dear ITLlas Honestly, are you not a little
too hard on the female snob? Don t you think
that a elrl who has Just completed a college
course should be proud of the fact? True, sho
his Imbibed a lot or knowledio which la of no
earthly use to her In the battle of life. This
knowledre may represent 78 per cent, of her
education, but surely the other S.I per cent,
must be of some value and muit count.
A Elrl who knous everything that Is to be
known of biology, orlntholocy, psychonoaolozy,
nhyslcoloiry and all thn other oloslc Is not
necessarily handicapped because she knows these
thlnns and put to the test, mnv nc.iult her
self Just os well as the nlrl who was never
Inside a lecture room In her life.
It Is not the fault of te college graduate
that she Is crammed full of theoretical knowl
edge of no use to her In after life, lilame
for that Ilea upon n sensoless system and upon
thnso who. by ratronage nnd otherwise, en
courage It. My point Is that a college-bred girl
may "1111 the bill" Just no well as any other
girl, and that the fart of her being college
red should not militate ngalnst her. She
may hive her own lewa about things, and
these views may not accord with those of the
majority, but the fact that she hoi ilews. even
though they be her own alone, suggests that
she has reasoning power and that, given cer
tain premises, sho can draw her own con
clusions. .
Some of the best fighters and some of the
most resourceful men In the tlrltlsh nrmv todav
ure of fnn and of Harrow, of Cambridge and
of Oxford, and there Is no reason to douLl
that In environments uhlch Involve Initiative, or
demnnd pluck, endurance or resourcefulness,
their rollcKe-bred sisters would be equally a
succ-ss.
The college girl may be a snob and a nuisance
and set be a big success In nny walk of life Into
which fortune may lead her.

LOVE LETTERS OP A GUARDSMAN
AND GIRL HE LEFT BEHIND HIM
Being the Intimate Sentimental Correspondence Between
a Beginning-Lawyer Recruit and a Woman Who Has
Both Brains and a Heart
From "Private" Richard Harrison, Pcmi
svlvanla National Quard, to Miss Helen
21 art in, Spruce street, Philadelphia.
My Dearest Nell By the time this letter
of mlno reaches you we'll be In El Paso.
Am I glad to get there? Gee!
Dear, I don't need to tell you that I'm
not celebrating any gladness that comes of
the thought of the distance between us;
nor am I so spoiling for a fight that I
can't wait with patience the completion of
the rlde
Why the Joy then, you ask?
Well, tho fact Is, Nell, I and overy
bloomln last one of us. Including Carl
and Tom. want a comfortable bath and
the reasonable surety of regular meals.
Uncle Sam, when he tends to things hlm
elf. as he does In the army, takes care
Of his men. When he leaves It to the
railroads, as he did In sending us south,
the men seem to be the least Important
part of the Journey, Freight comes first.
When you really stop to analyze the
feelings of all of us, Nell girl, I don't think
what hurts so much Is the discomfort we
endured, though It was considerable. The
hurt Is mental rather than physical
psychological rather than physiological.
To think It was permitted to happen rather
than the fact that It did happen Is what
makes us sore.
Insufficient drinking water, hungry 24
hours at a time, and then beg charity from
those splendid Middle Western folk to
think that such things were possible In
pur boasted age of efficiency. All profes.
eora I ever had and all the magazine writ
ers I have been reading Insist that this
United States Is growing lazy fat with Its
money-satiety. Pennsylvania's soldiers suf
fered through plain, bungling Incompetence,
and It ought to be told to the responsible
officials, and If they don't hear the angry
whispers It ought to bo bellowed In their
ears.
Why don't you get your women's or
ganizations to start something? It always
seems to , me that a woman's Indignation
registers most quickly with the men.
I know one thing: You'll never let me
go hungry If I furnish you with a proper
allowance. I must say In all 3cr!ousnesn,
dear, I believe If women had had charge
of our trip we'd have got to our destination
much sooner and In a great deal more
comfort and good humor.
Isn't It so that when women want men
to do something for them they always
tickle them Into tho right mood with an
appeal to their stomach? Surely, If they
wanted men to fight for them and what
more can one do? they would see that the
men were fed properly. Iteally, I'm tterlous.
Start something In one of those Philadel
phia clubs you always tell me about. It
would be great news to tell the boys here.
Honey, I've got your picture right where
It ought to be In my left-hand pocket, over
my heart, I hope you'll forgive mo, but I
cut away all that expensive cardboard and
decoration with which It was mounted, so
as to have It with me all the time.
And I've left the most Important to the
very last. It's Paul Watson, Of course, I
don't want you to mope. And you must
have fun where It Is to ho had; but, dear,
I must confess It, your letters gave me a
frightful night. I thought of you at Man
helm, having dinner and dancing with him.
And then playing golf, and you so Irresist
ibly lovely In that red sweater. I'm so far
away! Perhaps I was a fool to come.
Nothing In the world or out of It will be
worth anything to me If I lose you. I'm
Only the jealous primitive male, after all.
You won't try me too hard, will you? In
the meantime, tell me about all the good
times you're having, and I'll do my best
to enjoy them vlcnrlously. Good-by, dear.

THE WOMAN WHO SEWS

Fashion Hxvert, care of the Editor o the
Iranian's Vaae, the Kvenino Ledger.
Have you seen the new collapsible hats?
They'ro not things of beauty In every In
btance. It Is true, but they aro practical
enough to appeal to any woman who puts
comfort before style.
The Idea Is to provide n becoming hat
that can bo made Hat) enough to slip Into
a suitcase. This Is no easy matter, for the
averngo hat that undergoes such a process,
unless It be a panama. Is a fcad nnd painful
plcturo when It emerges from the ruins.
Hut these llttlo hats are as smart and
trig as the day they came In their striped
boxes from the shop when you get to tho
end of your trip. They're built that way.
The Intricate and devious way by which
this marvelous nnnmussableness Is effected
is not evident to the Inexperienced eye. It's
llko a slelght-of-hand trick tho hat .Is
slipped Into tho case as flat as a flounder.
It may be pushed up Into the cutest little
rose silk toque or black velvet Turk's
enp you ever saw. Less conspicuous ones
are fashioned of dark silks, with a
tassel at the side, but they'ro all, In the
words of tho automobile ads, "built for
comfort."

If the stains are fat tarvla spots, you

This should have been done right away, but
you can get the same results by vigorous

sleeves, with white collar and cuffs. The
skirt nnd bodice wero nmdo all In one, with
box plaits from the yoko to the knees. The

serviceable.
Dear Madam Would you kindly tell me If
there Is anything to prnyenftalTeta from cut

There Is no way to' keep certain qualities
of taffeta from wearing and cutting, n
manufacturer tells me. If the cuts come
fiom wear It Is Impossible to prevent them.
However, if you choose a guaranteed silk
or a very soft quality of taffeta It will wear
you well. Tho shops have plenty of good
silks just at present.

Tho' thy charms should all decay,

For thy charms tho" bright as morning
Captured not my idle heart;
Love so grounded ends in scorning
Lacks the barb to hold tho dart.
My devotion more secure
Woos thy rptrlt high and pure.

GARDEN QUERIES ANSWERED
By JOHN BARTRAM i
Baby Rambler Roses
C. K. The Baby Ilambler or Polyantha
roses nre very satisfactory. They bloom
virtually every day over n long season.
Often tho bushes are n mass of bloom.
The flowers are fragrant nnd pretty. Of
course they nre not so shapely or colorful
ns some of the tens or pcrpotuall, but they
serve a very useful purpose for massing
or low hedges. Tho plnnts are somewhat
dwarfish for a hedge or border. They
can be planted about one foot npart and
kept trimmed lo a height of three or four
feet. Pots from specimens, blooming or
nbout to bloom, can bo bought now at from
30 to 75 cents each. In the winter the
roots should have a llttlo earth banked
over them and a light protection of straw
Tho Mine. Morbcrt Lnvavaeqeur Is the red !
Katharine Zelmet, white nnd pink J Dorothy
Perkins, pink, that nre hardiest and most
florlfcrou8.
Strawberries
H. J. You won't get a very Inrge crop
from a dozen strawberry plants, but you
can have a certain degree of satisfaction
In growing a few choice specimens, eating
them, germs and all, as they ripen. It Is
nbout the right time to plant now, nnd I
would advise purchase of pot-grown va
rieties for your purpose. They cost about
10 cents each. Plant nbout one foot
npart. In soil which lino hnd some sand
mixed In. Brandywlne. Cardinal, Dandy
nnd Olimer are rcllablo kinds.
Care of Fern
ESTHEIt I nm sorry that your fern Is
poorly. Tho only thing to do Is to cut tho
plant to tho roots, burning tho diseased
leaves. Dig In a llttlo bone mcnl to stimu
late growth and give n pretty good amount
of water while the plant Is developing.
Proper care for a healthy fern Includes
washing of the fronds every week and
watering twice a week by putting the pot
Into a pan of water overnight. This Is
better than surfaco watering.
For a Rustic Box
S. T. P. For a rustic box I would nd
vlso n combination of forns, of tho hardier
sort, such as Scottl, Teddy Junior, Koose
veltj some small palms for the centre, sev
eral colors of crotons to give gny cfTcct
nnd pandanus, which has dainty green nnd
white leaves. Of course, you will not havo
any flowers on these, but then you will
not havo tho out-of-bloomlng periods which
are so discouraging to many nmntcur3.
Coloring Hydrangeas Blue
AUTHim C Thero nro said to be sev
eral ways of securing tho doep blue color In
tho summer or herbaceous hydrangeas. One
writer says to mix In some Iron filings nbout
tho soli. Another says powdered nlum dug
In nbout tho roots will bIvo tho effect
sought. Of course, some of theso hydran
geas nre naturally blue In bloom.
For Turnips
C. D. 8. One of the best things for tur
nips to kill tho small bugs and to fertlllzo
tho ground Is to Bprlnklo soot on the plnnts
nnd about tho roots.
Inter Rows in Aspnracus Beds
D. F. If as you say you have four feet
between the rows of nspnragus and tho
ground Is very heavily fertilized with well
rotted maunre since last fnll. I see no rea
son why you should not tnko advantage
of tho space nnd fertilizer by planting some
thing between. Bush limns should flourish
In such nn environment. Salad plants
should come to head very quickly under
the conditions. Other things thnt might
bo planted there would bo dwnrf brussels
sprouts, or flowers for cutting, such ns
asters. Theso should bo bought In plant
form now nnd put In Immediately. Do not
put In anything that runs nnd thus might
choke down tho asparagus. It Is about
time to stop cutting the asparagus now.
Tree Seeds
OLNBV Yes. It Is possible to buy tree
seeds, but unless you wish to plant them
simply for the fun of tho experiment. It will
be more Bntlsfactory for you to buy your
snpllngs: thopo sold by rcllablo firms cot.t
only 25 cents to 76 cents, according to
size and variety. You can plant seedling
apples and pears and peaches, but to bo sure
of results they should be grafted. Apple

MU3. T. M The rutabaga Is otherwise
known ns tho Swedo turnip. The flesh Is
cither yellow or white and very nutritious.
It has tho turnip flavor. Itutnbagna grow
best In a light, sandy soil. The seed can
bo sown In drills from Into June till the
early part of August. Tho drills should
Ijo from IE to 24 Inches apart and tho plants
about six lo eight Inches apart nftcr thin
ning. In planting put the seeds nbout half
an Inch deep. Cultlvato frequently. An
ounce of seed will be plenty for 260 feet of

for several short rows planted In succes

E, T. n. The everbearing raspberry Is
tho St. Itcgls, Tho canes bear heavily
from June till October. Tho berries havo

crimson in color and largo In slzo. This
Is more than a mero novelty, na Its morlts
havo been tested. However, I would not
ndvlso you to put tha raspberries out this
time of year. It will bo better to wait
till tho late fall or tho early spring. Tho
ptnnt3 cost nbout 75 cents a dozen or $2.B0
per hundred. Of regular cropping raspber
ries tho best blacks are tho Plum Farmer
a fine blncltcnp which bears heavily for
about a week, and tho Cumberland, which
Is the largest of tho blacks. Tho Cuth
bcrt Is tho best of tho bright reds. Tho
Golden Queen Is tho old-fashioned yellow
raspberry. It Is large nnd very sugary In
flavor.

Hcmovo the outside leaves of two heads
of lettuce. Trim the root ends to a point,
but do not rcmovo them. Boll In salted
