AN IDEA FDR CLOTE5. POSTS.
I was visiting a friend. and noted
that the usual clothes posts did not
disfigure her yard. When I Inquired
about them she explained.
Her husband drove pointed stakes
about two and one-half inches In dia
meter down to a depth of about three
feet into the ground. Into the holes
above these stakes he drove three
foot lengths of pipe. On wash days
he brings out the clothes posts, which
are lengths of pipe of a diameter just
to fit the pipes in the ground, and
sets them in. Through holes in the
tops of the posts he has driven pina
for the support of the clothes line.
After wash day is over the posts are
returned to the basement and tho
mouths of the pipes in the ground are
covered with metal caps. These do
not Interfere~with the lawn mower
and are scarcely visible.
Runaway Basmes Raid Kansas.
Victor Hugo's story of the runaway
cannon on a ship's deck must now take
a back seat for the runaway Nebraska
hdloon which made the trip across
Kansas to Oklahoma and back, start
irg Monday by breaking away from
its moorings at Fort Omaha. The
saae day another army balloon got
loose at Fort Sill. The Nebraska bal
loon, after draseing its 6.000 feet of
steel cable along the ground, tearing
down telephone an-d telegraph wires
and doing other danmAge in a swift
nilht flight across Southern Neoraska
n id Kansas. dipped down Into Okia
homa and then turned to the north
:rain as if to circle back to its Fort
imaha hangar. Its course on Its re
turn trip was northwest across Kansas
and It was captured late at night
about mix miles southwest of Tren
t. Neb. In its flight back across
Kansas. the French sausage-shaped
billoon passed over Dodge City. Utica,
Plainville, Elli. Colby and Atwood.
Two army officers were In the bal
loani that was freed from Its cable at
iort Sill when an airplane struck and
breke the steel wire. The flight of
this balloon was not as spectacular as
the Omaha runaway's, but sorne ap
T-rehenslon was felt for the safety of
he two officers. They were able,
owever. to bring the bag safely to the
round at Rtush springs. Okla., thIrty
lies from Fort SIll. Neither of the
fflcere was injured. The Omaha bal
had no occupants.
The Omaha balloon apparently ran
ato several aIr currents near the Okla
line and was carried back
cross Kansas by the northwesterly
lad. From each town over which
e balloon passed came reports of
mare caused by the trailing cable.

They hunted up the driver and had

KI.S WIFE'S MOTHER,
HIS WIFE, AND SELF
Parent Lives Long Enough to Tell
of Tragedy.
Linton, Falls, N. J., Dec. 14.--"Two
people have been shot dead. My
daughter and her husband are both
dead; I am dying!'
Such was the message received by
the telephone , operators at Long
Branch early today. As the message
ended the operators hearda crash, as
that of a falling body.
Oicers were notified, and when
they arrived at a small hotel they
round Paul Walsh and his wife lying
1,vad together. On the floor in the
lway and near the telephone was
'Irs. Francis Smock, Walsh's mother
in-law. Mrs. Smock lived long enough
to explain that Walsh and his wife
had been separated ten days.
She said that Walsh entered the
hotel and began shooting, Mrs.
Smock expired shortly after giving
this Information to the officers.
Germany's Slaves,
The Germans have forcibly enlisted
the labor of about 2,000,000 prisoners
of war. Moreover, the official French
report of April 12. 1917, concerning acts
committed by the Germans in violation
of international law, asserts that in
the occupied territories deportation of
workers has been a general measure,
It has "applied to the entire able
bodied population of both sexes, from
the ages of 16 to 0. excepting women
with young children,"
Now the Germans requisitiop labor
from among 7,500,000 Belgians, 3,000,000
French, 4,500,000 Serbians, 5,000,000
Rumanians, 2,000.000 Poles. Rutheni
ans and Lithuanians-a total of 42,
000,000 slaves.
Let us see what sort of remuneration
is made. Take the case of a young
girl of Ialle. 20 years old, who was
rorced to work for six months, -har
vesting and thrashing wheat, and dIg
ring totatoes fromi 6 In the morning to
twilight, receiving all the while the
vilest food, For her aix months of
work she was given 9 francs, 45 cen
times (31.891).
The allies on the contrary, pay high
wages to their workers, and. when
they run short, must needs pour out
good gold in bringing re-enforcements
from Asia, Africa and America. This
means that a considerable part of the
wages paId these foreign workmen
will leave France or England for all
time.

A HANDY KITCHEN PLATE.
Often at the stove one wants to lay
a sticky knife or forkd or spoon down
for a few minutes. I bought a white
enamel plate for 10 cents, which I al
ways keep on the shelf of the stove.
It In always there, and very handy to
hold salt and pepper shakers, which
are often needed at the stove when
cooking. It is much better to keep
stirring spoons. etc., on this plate
when not in use than to leave them
in the articles cooking.
POLISHING A WAXED FLOOR.
Many people like a wax finish for
their floors or furniture, but do not
know how to keep it fresh and pol
Ished. Almost all wax that is used on
the floor has a turpentine base. If you
will put some turpentine on's soft rag
or your floor mop and rub it over the
floor, the turpentine will soften up the
wax and make it look as fresh as
when the flcor or furniture was first
waxed. A good rub with a woolen
cloth which is quite dry will complete
the job.

At his laboratory one day. Thoma
Edison called a new assistant to him
desk. 'I want you," he said. "to fig
ure out the cubic contents of this elec
tric light bulb.'
The young man went away and spent
hours at the task, using all the mathe
matices at his command, filling sheets
of paper with his figures. Finally he
went back to Fdison with his answer.
"Let's see if you're right," said the
big man.
He broke the tip off the bulb, filled
the thing with water and then mess
ured-the water in a graduated glass.
In two minute. he had done what his
aPistant had given most of a day to.
This independence of formulae is
one of the secrets of Edison's success.
