Economic secrets borrowed from
the housewife’s budget system can be
taken to congress by women with
telling effect, in the opinion of Mrs.
Peter Oleson of Cloquet, indorsed by
the Minnesota Democratic state con
vention for the United States senator
ial nomination. It is the first time in
the history of the state that a woman
has been accorded the indorsement of
a major political party for the United
States senatorship, and Mrs. Oleson
realizes she is making precedent.
Mr. Oleson is superintendent of
schools in n city of 8,000, a position
he has held for eight years. They
have a fourteen-year-old daughter.
Mrs. Oleson is a club woman. She was
president of the federated women’s
club of the Eighth Minnesota district
and then was chosen vice president
of the Minnesota State federation of
the General Federation of Women’s
clubs.
During the war, Mrs. Oleson made many patriotic talks, and was much
In demand In Minnesota and adjoining states. When the war ended she went
Into Chautauqua work, and lust summer toured 10,000 miles in an automobile
with her family in this work.
Mrs. Oleson is thirty-six years old. Slip was born in LeSeur county, Min
nesota. Her father was P. D. Dickie, and both her paternal and maternal
grandparents came to Minnesota as pioneers in 1856. Both her grandfathers
fought in the Civil war.
L. A. Hill, New Engraving Bureau Head
Here is the latest portrait of Louis
A. Hill, the new head of the bureau
of engraving and printing, Treasury
department. Washington is still talk
ing of the action of President Har
ding, who, in the most sweeping dis
charge order in years, dismissed
from the government service Director
James L. Wilmeth and 27 division
heads of the bureau.
The fact that most of the men
discharged were civil service em
ployees may result in complications.
The civil service commission called
to the attention of the President to
sections of United States statutes stat
ing that no person In the 'classified
civil service shall be removed except
after being given the charges against
him In writing and being given time
to answer same in writing.
At the same time it was said at the
11 department of justice unofficially that
the executive order was legal.
Hints of sensational disclosures to follow, involving serious monetary losses
to the government, were pronounced to be unfounded by Assistant Secretary
Elliot Wadsworth, who declared that there is nothing behind the sensational
action of the President to reflect upon the integrity of the discharged men.
Representative It. C. Johnson of South Dakota charged in the house that
duplication of Liberty bonds would run as high as $400,000,000.

Mary McDowell Visits Czechoslovakia
wumiiniiminniiniiiitiinuiiiinni'ituiT
Miss Mary McDowell of Chicago,
well known as a student and worker
in sociology, sailed for Czechoslovakia
after the Pan-American conference
for women in Baltimore. She will
be the guest of President Masaryk
and his daughters on a six-months’
vacation. While declaring that the
journey was nominally a vacation In
Czechoslovakia, taken at the instiga
tion of Miss Alice Masaryk, Miss Mc
Dowell admitted that she would not
be idle during her stay in the re
public, but would devote much time
to the study of the position of women
in the state.
Probably a more exact statement
of Miss McDowell’s trip to Europe
Is that the government of Czecho
slovakia has requested Miss McDowell
to inaugurate and organize in that
country the system of social settle
ment work which she has directed so
long and so successfully in Chicago.
Miss McDowell will first visit Italy, und make a brief tour of the continent be
fore taking up in July her work in Czechoslovakia.
The invitation to Miss McDowell was extended through Dr. Bedrlch Ste-
panek, the Czechoslovakian minister to the United States, who presented to
the conference greetings from the women of his country.
Bakhmeteff the Table Talk of Capital
Senator Borah’s desire to have
Russian Ambassador Bakhmeteff (por
trait herewith) before a senate com
mittee is the table talk of the mo
ment in the capital. Outwardly, it
is a simple proposal to have Mr.
Bakhmeteff tell the senators what he
knows about the conduct and alleged
atrocities of General Semenoff, the Cos
sack leader, In Siberia. Incidentally,
Senator Borah wants to get the am
bassador to give details about what
government he represents.
But under the surface there is
something deeper and more far-reach
ing—something which one set of minds
contends goes back to the wisdom of
the framers of the Constitution and,
on the other hand, something which
another set of minds contends ought
to be viewed in the light of changing
conditions and progress.
The diplomats are deeply dis
turbed in two ways. Some of them
are fearful of a breakdown of-their ancient rights and immunities. Some oth
ers, although they do not say so, Indicate they would not be displeased at a
precedent which might establish the propriety of having direct intercourse with
officials of the government outside the executive branch.
As the matter stands,now, Secretary Hughes hah Informed the senate that
Mr. Bakhmeteff is the ambassador of Russia and that a subpoena cmao* b<
served haling him before a congressionl committee.
SEX OF EGGS AND CHICKENS
Department of Agriculture Says There
Is No Dependable Method to
Determine Sex.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Raisers of poultry have long wished
for a reliable means for determining
the sex of chicks and of eggs to be
used for hatching, but, in spite of the
promise of vnrious manufacturers of
devices, the United States Department
of Agriculture says there Is no very
dependable method for determining the
sex of chicken that a certain egg will
produce, and that It is extremely diffi
cult to determine the sex of chicks of
most breeds.
The department has made tests of a
number of devices claimed bv the
Barred Plymouth Rock Cockerel.
makers to give good results In sorting
out male, female and Infertile eggs.
In all cases they have been found to
be useless for the purpose, as two
persons could never get the same re
sult with a lot of eggs, and hatching
tests showed that one could do just
ns well by closing his eyes and picking
out the eggs at random.
On account of the difference in the
color of the down of the sexes it is
often possible to select with consid
erable accuracy the hens and cockerels
of the Barred Plymouth Rock as soon
as they are hatched, but in the case
of most other breeds and varieties this
selection cannot be made with any cer
tainty until some time later. Those
who know the breed well are able to
distinguish between the sexes of Leg
horns when they are three to four
weeks old. The sexes of the medium-
weight breeds, with the exception glv-
«n above, have the same appearance
until the chicks are 10 or 12 weeks
old. The surface sex differences in
the Asiatic breeds are not as apparent
up until the birds are three or four
months old.
There may be differences that will
make it possible to sort the sexes
earlier, but so far poultrymen have
found no reliable basis for selection.
GREAT IMPORTANCE OF OATS
Used in Ration of Growing Chick It
Does Much to Build Up Strong
Frame and Muscle.
The importance of oats In the poul
try ration cannot well be overlooked.
It forms the backbone in many rations.
It is chiefly important in the growing
ration for young chicks, for it will
grow frame and muscle more eco>-
nomically than any other grain. Steel-
cut oats, rolled oats, or growing mash
es having ground oats or oatmeal as
a base are exceptionally economical
feeds for growing stock. Fed in con
nection with buttermilk, it makes the
best growing ration now known. Of
course, a grain mixture should be fed
for variety.
Confine the hen until the chicks are
weaned.

PLAN TO SELECT GARMENTS THAT
ARE MOST SUITABLE FOR WOMEN
Figure on left is garbed in simple blouse and skirt. These may be
adapted to any figure and with slight changes in sleeve, collar and fullness
of skirt are always in good style. The design in the middle is for a tall,
slender woman; the costume is divided into three distinct parts to lessen
the apparent height, and horizontal tucks are used to suggest width. The
design on the right is for the stout woman; the long straight lines suggest
height and the surplice front and curve of the side panel tend to decrease
the apparent breadth of the figure.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Women’s clothing requires more
careful thought than that for men and
children. The intermediate type of
figure is not difficult to clothe attrac
tively, but the more extreme types, the
slender and the stout, need careful
attention. Once a woman has decided
on the type of design which suits her
best, she should choose clothing which
in general lines is always the same.
Monotony can be avoided by using
different materials and trimmings.
Such garments may usually be kept
in good style by slight changes in
sleeves, collar and fullness of the
skirt.
For very tall, slight people, designs
should be chosen that suggest round
ness and normal height. Soft, full
blouses, full skirts, and draped ef
fects are good; if the height seems
too great, horizontal lines brought
into the costume by means of flounces,
bands and tucks will tend to reduce
it. Plaids and figured materials with
large areas of design are admissible
on a slight, tall figure; also soft, deep-
pile stuffs for coats, and bright, shirn-
mery, lustrous materials are good.
Design for Stout Figure.
For the stout figure, designs could
be chosen tliat sliggesit height and slen
derness. Loose, easy-fitting garments
with straight, unbroken lines suggest
height. Lines that ‘carry the eye to
the center of the figure will diminish
its breadth. No lines should carry di
rectly ucross the figure, for they seem
to lessen the height and increase the
breadth of the figure. Separate waists
and skirts, unless the waist is of the
same color as the skirt or is so ad
justed as to fall over the skirt, will
tend to broaden the figure and dimin
ish the height. A surplice line for
the opening of the waist is good; nar
row girdles draped loosely about the
figure, crossed in the back and brought
to the front again with one end looped
over the other, suggest height.
The stout woman should choose soft,
nonlustrous materials, such ns crepe
de chine, crepe georgette, serge, gabar
dine, voile and batiste. Plaids and
large-figured materials are out of the
question and stripes should be cau
tiously chosen. Colors should be
avoided that make the lines of the
figure stand out prominently, clothing
experts in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture affirm in a recent
bulletin on selection and care of cloth
ing. Taupe, gray and dark blue are
usually best in this respect, but all
dull, dark colors are safer than light
or bright ones.
Suit Colors to Wearer.
Colors should be carefully chosen
not only in relation to the figure but
in reference to the complexion,, color
of the hair and eyes of the wearer as
well. There is no general rule by
which one can choose becoming colors.
Therefore, one must rely on one’s own
taste, judgment and experience. In
general, women with fresh, clear com
plexions find a greater range of be
coming colors than others who have
little color, but patient experimenta
tion will discover those which fi|'e be
coming to either type. It is safe to
choose such colors £ts are in harmony
with the color of the eyes, hair and
complexion.
Dark blue is a universally becoming
color. Taupe, dark blue, black and
gray in which violet predominates are
good colors to be used by the woman
who is stout. Bright aggressive colors
make the stout figure seem larger.
Bright gay colors may be chosen for
the young, slight girlish figure, but
always with a thought to the general
coloring.
BREAKFAST CEREALS
ARE EASILY COOKED
Old-Fashioned Methods Are Now
Less Common.
Cornmeal Mush Is One of Dishes
Early New England Settlers
Copied From Indian Neighbors
—Pop Corn Is Relished.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
In early times there were many
wuys of preparing grains and meal,
such as frumenty and the good King
Arthur’s famous “bag pudding.” The
partly cooked and reudy-to-eat cereals
have become so popular in recent
years that the old-fashioned methods
of cooking grains are now less com
mon. The ingenious housekeeper can,
however, vary her breakfast cereuls
by the use of simple meals or grains,
say food specialists of the United
States Dep4tment of Agriculture.
Une of the dishes which the early
New England settlers pruoubly copied
from their Indian neighbors is the
homely corn-meal mush, or hasty pud
ding. This is made of boiling ordi
nary cornmeal in milk or water. If
properly cooked, it is u nutritious and
economical dish and has the advan
ce-dear to the thrifty housewife—
that the left-over portion will be
relished if cut in slices und fried.
Another popular way of using cer
tain varieties of corn Is as pop corn.
This cannot be strictly termed a
breakfast food, but it is frequently
eaten with milk, like other cereal
preparations.
If the task of cooking must be con
sidered, and strict economy is neces
sary, crackers in milk may be substi
tuted for the ready-cooked breakfast
cereals. Crackers are similar to
regular breakfast foods in composi
tion, and at average prices furnish
more nourishment for the same amount
of money. Nor should it be forgotten
that as a rational, palatable, and
economical dish, bread and milk ranks
high.
USING STALE BREAD
There need be no waste of
stale bread. For bread that is
not allowed to become moldy
may be used in a variety of
ways, discarding only the brown
crusts and these are sometimes
dried, crushed and used in grid
dle cakes. Small bits of leftover
bread, slices that have become
too dry for use as toast, crou
tons and such like, should be
dried in the warming oven, cov
ered with a piece of cheese
cloth to protect them from dust,
then passed through a meat
chopper and sifted. The fine
crumbs are used for crumbling
croquettes, cutlets, etc., and the
coarse crumbs for the top of au
gratln dishes. Such crumbs
should be stored in glass jars
and they will keep a long time
if placed in a cool dry place.
