Upon the ful fillment of her vocation as a mother the welfare of the country depends. To-day's small boy is to-morrow's soldier or citizen, and the measure of fitnea he brings to these careers wiil depend upon the habits he ac quired in his earlier years. There can be few holidays for the responsible mother; her endless du ties combine to keep her "on the job" with the steady, unobtrusive activity of an eight-day clock. When her husband's working day is over there is rest and recreation for him; he can foregather with his fellow workmen and settle the af fairs of the nation to his way of thinking. But for the mother —the pivot of the home —there is always one more task. The theory that the workingman supports his wife is a mistake. Hus bands and wives are mutually de pendent upon each other for sup port, and together they maintain their dependants, the young children of the family. The work of each is equally valuable to the country. Has the gentleman who, with two words, "Occupation—None," stamps the life of the working woman as one of elegant, if imaginary leisure, stopped to consider her money value outside of the home? As an unmarried girl she was probably self-supporting; if she worked in a shop she received any where from sti to $lO a week. If she was engaged in domestic service she received this amount, plus her board and lodging. If she worked in a factory she got more. He Must Be a Bachelor To-day the price of unskilled la bor hits risen to double the prices it commanded before the war. Char women are paid at the rate of 25 cents an hour, which is a few pen nieb more than streetcar conductors received a little while ago. Upon her marriage a girl gives up this cash symbol of her working value and transfers her services from the shop, factory, etc., to her home. Much that she would have refused to do in the service of an employer she cheerfully performs in the service of her family. The author of "Occupation— None" must be a bachelor and an aristocrat, one' of those pampered darlings of upper tendom who has nil the lowly offices of living done for him by such skillful, unobtrusive hands that he never realized they were being done at all. I also strongly suspect him of be ing that arch enemy of womankind —the man who first decreed that all kitchen sinks should be installed at a back-breaking distance from the floor. We have had kitchen sinks for fifty years. Yet up to date no archi tect, builder, contractor or other professional man or artisan having to do with the building of houses has been found who w;lll install one at a comfortable angle. The placing of the kitchen sink is like some curse laid upon the "rest less sex" as a punishment for its modern activities. But now that the women who, among other pastimes of elegant leisure, number dishwashing three times a day command the vote half the United States, perhaps they will take the matter Into their own hands. They will elect a candidate pledged to a kitchen sink reform. He, or more likely she, will in stall the sink a few inches higher, to that women with "Occupation— None" may wash their dishes three times a day in comparative com fort.

CHAPTER XVI (Copyright, 1918, Star Co.) At supper that night Elizabeth Wade was very quiet. She was covertly watching Clifford Chapin. During years in a large city he had acquired a certain kind of pol ish which passed for "style and dash" with his parents. He had a superficial cleverness that made him amusing. Had he been a boy he would have been considered "fresh." As man he appeared smart. He was fond of his mother, but treated her with a patronizing af fection hat delighted her but an noyed Elizabeth. Still, since it pleased the parent, it was the busi ness of nobody else. Douglas Wade's sister had never met just this type of man before, yet now she must accept some of his attentions. She had gone driv ing with him twice. She could not avoid this, as on both occasions he had invifed her in the presence of all the other members of the house hold. To refuse, would have attracted notice and comment, and these she wished to escape. . John Butler, be lieving Clifford to be her cousin, would think it strange were she to decline to drive with him. Her re fusal would also wound Mrs. Chapin and annoy Amofe. The easiest way was the safest. "Lizzie, I'll have the car around in about ten minutes," Clifford an nounced now when supper was over. "The movie starts at eight, I guess." "Very well," the girl assented, "I will be ready." She went upstairs to put on her hat, returning in a moment with her coat over her arm. As she came out of the house she found John Butler alone on the veranda. "May I hold your wrap for you?" he asked, stepping forward. "Oh, thank you," handing it to him. "You have a lovely evening for your Jaunt," he remarked. "Selfishly, I am sorry you are going." "Why?" she queried. Each In His Turn "Because I was just wishing I could persuade you to take a long walk with me. It promises to lie a wonderful starlit night." "If yop had asked me before Clif ford invited me I would have ac cepted gladly." she said. "Would you?" he questioned eagerly. "Would you not have re setted your consent later when you learned that you might have had the drive?" "Indeed I would not," she assured him. "I would rather go with you." "Do you mean that?" he asked im pulsively. "Why, can't you believe"—she be gan. But the rush of the car up the drive made further speech impos sible. "So you're ready, are you, Lizzie?" Clifford called. "I am sorry to snatch her from you, Butler. At least," with a boisterous laugh, "I Daily Dot Puzzle 35 • Null • V...27 {( - ? * 15T *7* t S M \K \ V \* 2S l ; M is for' Mocking Bird, Of which you've often heard. Draw frota one to two and so On to the end. EGOLRISBURG TELEGRAPH suppose I ought to be sorry. But, as I've remarked before, blood is thicker than water, so we cousins hang together." Something Impelled Elizabeth to speak a part of the inner rebellion caused by the words. 1 "We are not such close cousins, after all," she muttered. Clifford had jumped out of the car and paused, his hand on the door, waiting for Elizabeth to enter. "Let's see," he suggested, "just what the relationship is. Mother!" as Mrs. Cliapin appeared in the doorway, "what degree cousins are Lizzie and I?" Mrs. Chapin gasped. "You—you mean," she stammered—"what rela tion Cousin John Moore's children are to you?" Her son eyed her sharply. "I asked what kin Lizzie and I are," he repeated. "Well, Johni Moore Is my first cousin," the matron said, slowly. "So his children are my first cousins once removed, and that makes them your second cousins, don't it?" "There!" Clifford exclaimed tri umphantly to the girl. "You know now what the relation between us is. You are my second cousin, aren't you? Acknowledge It, my dear." The girl tried to laugh. "We are going to be late to the show if we don't start," she parried. "That is the only thing I acknowledge at the present moment." She Shakes Hands She took her seat, and her com panion stepped Into the car. John Butler turned toward the gate to be gin his solitary walk. Some impulse moved Elizabeth Wade to lean forward and hold out her hand to Butler. "Good night!" she said. He sprang toward her and seized her hand. "Good night!" he returned. "I meant every word of what I told you just now," she murmured hastily. "Really I did." "Thank you!" he exclaimed. The car started, and he stepped aside to allow it to pass. Elizabeth looked back as they reached the gate. "Good-night again, Mr. Butler," she called clearly. She wished that she were going walking with him instead of driv ing with Clifford Chapin. She wished it even more when her companion turned to her with a laugh. "Old sober-chops doesn't like me," he affirmed. "But I have a right to carry you off frpm under his aristo cratic nose. You know, honey, I have a claim upon you, for you are my cousin." He laughed in a way that might mean much or nothing, bending down to peer into her face, shaded by her hat-brim. She wondered if he suspected the truth. If so, and he were to betray 1t to Butler, what would become of Douglas' scheme? But of course Clifford Chapin did not know Ihe facts. How could he? (To Be Continued.) Cripples' War Gardens Beginning to Produce Paris.—Acres and acres of gardens located near the American base hos pitals are now beginning to bring forth their harvests of vegetables. All were cultivated by American wounded, convalescents, who attend ed to the growing produce. Not alone has the venture been one of great economy for the hos pitals. The work ot cultivation has been done upon the prescriptions of the medical surgeons so that a dou ble purpose Is accomplished. The garden work provides relaxation for the men after their strenuous times on the battlefront and their painful anxiety in the hospital wards. The diversion acts as a recreative agency in bringing back the men to normal mental and physical state. The wardens are worked entirelv by convalescents. Not a single dol lar has been spent for hired labor. The Army has undertaken a compre hensive plan of Army provisioning along these lines. The American Red Cross also is co-operating by the es tablishment of smaller plots in the centers where convalescents are sent. Over 500,000 Men in American Navy Washington, July 24. —More than half a million men are now in the United States Navy, Secretary Dan iels announced yesterday.

They should be blanched in steam. This picture shows a sim ple method of blanching in steam, by placing them in a colander in a receptacle with tightly fitting cover. There should be not more than an inch or so of water on the bottom of the receptacle and the water should not touch the greens. A Steam Pressure Canr.er is excellent for use in blanching greens.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have been engaged to a young man for some time. Long ago another young man whom I had only thought of as a friend asked me to marry him. I refused, and he went on as though nothing had happened. He has enlisted in the Army and is now in active service. When he first went away he wrote me, and I, thinking it was right that I should answer, wrote him. We are corresponding now, and every letter I get from him he speaks of waiting for him and of the time when he comes back and we can be married. I think it would have been well had you told him in your very first letter that you were engaged; since you did not, surely you owe it to this soldier to be honest with him. Not honest in a brutal, ugly, cruel way—but honest with a fine simpliicty that will do much to make him respect you, and that won't give him a feeling of heartbreak and friendlessness over in France. , HOW DO YOU STANDI DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: A and B are both in love with me and they would both make good hus bands, B making the better, being more generous and considerate of others. A is still in the United States, while B has been in foreign service for a long time. I like A better than B, but will not see B till the war is over. I have not given either one any definite answer, but have promised to give Bl a lair chance to win me. t A and B know nothing about each other. Do you think I ought to let them know how they stand?- S. C. You need more than a "good hus band;" you need a real mate —a man you can love. -You talk about liking and discuss which of these men will give you more. Have you ever thought what you have to give to A or B? Of course you need not make | a decision at any particular moment, but you have no right to encourage either man to the point of bitterness : and disappointment when you choose the other. Are you sure you want to [ choose either?. COUSIN MARRIAGES DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am very much in love with my cousin and am sure she loves me also. We've been talking about getting married, but someone told her we are too closely related, as we are first cousins. That doesn't worrv me, but she is undecided. We are anxious to know your opinion and will be look ing for an answer. Kindly oblige and accept our best thanks. _ F. W. C. Discuss this matter with a doctor, or go to the public library and get a book on eugenics. The children of closely related people generally pay for their parents' love in terms of their own weakness or ill-health or unfitness. Therefore, the marriage of cousins is actually forbidden by cer tain state laws—those of New York, f or instance. Chance For Drill For Selected Men Through the selective service boards there is to be provided some system for instruction of men to be called into the service. It has de veolpcd that those who have some little military training before they go to camp are in much better shape than those who go out as raw rookies without any conception of military drill. Major H. M. Stine announces that the Harrisburg Reserves, through their officers and other competent members of the battalion, will ar range for two or three drills each wek of all who expect to be drawn into the Army. Quite a number of men who have gone out have found that those who know something of military duties are promptly ad vanced and in not a few cases have received, commissions months earlier than those who were compelled to start at the very bottom of the Kidder. Cocoanut Oil Fine For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair In good condition, be careful what you wash It with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsifled cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than the most expen sive soap or anything else you can for shampooing, as this can't possibly Injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abund ance ot - rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thor oughly. The lather rinses out eas ily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone In the fam ily for months. UNDERTAKER 17M Chas. H.
