Mention Seeing it in The Bee
Camouflage Sweaters the Latest.
Hear ye! Something new in the
knitting line!
Yes, I know you think everything
has been made for the soldier or
sailor possible from yarn, but have
you heard of the new "camouflage",
sweaters?
You know how awfully cold the
poor jackies' throats look these win
try days in their decollete middy
blouses and square-cut sweaters! The
poor boy can't wear a string of pearls
as the girls do to keep them warm
and the mufflers look so "bungly."
Here comes in our little camouflage
sweater or dicky. The sailors, espe
cially, adore tfftm, for they just fit
into that chilly V and they look so
trim arrd neat.
These little sweaters are quite the
rage in Pasadena and one philan
thropic woman is buying $300 worth
of yarn monthly for the city's firemen,
whb are knitting for the shivering
champions of democracy.
I am looking eagerly at every knit
ter I see these days to determine
whether she is making one of these
baby sweaters, but as yet I have seen
none of them. I hope some of the
patriotic knitters of our city will try
them, for they say they are a pleasant
relief from helmets, socks and the
full-gro'wn sweaters.

Bureau vf Chemistry is En
forcing Pure Food Law
in Strict Manner
In the enforcement of the food and
drugs act the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, during the past
year, recommended 719 cas;s for crim
inal prosecution and 371 for seizure.
There were collected for examination
5.649 official and 2,171 informal sam
ples, of food and drugs. This, how
ever, does not include thousands of
examinations made in the field, such
as candling of suspected shipments of
eggs or the critical inspection of con
signments of wormy or decomposed
nuts. The various laboratories of the
bureau of chemistry analyzed 27,301
I samples, and in addition took 70.739
I flour inspection samples. Over 9,000
! cases were made the subject of hear
ing, either m person of by corre
spondence.

nors' mother, Mrs. J. C. Lcitch.
Sugar Famine a Blessing
From the standpoint of hygiene and
economy changes in diet represent a
positive gain, says the Popular Sci
ence Monthly. For instance, take
sugar a fc&d which yields more cal
ories per unit of cost than any other
food, but which,- on the other hand,
gives us nothing but energy. It con
tains no protein and no mineral value,
elements which are essential. So the
present sugar shortage is a blessing
m disguise, for we are obliged to sub
stitute in its place vegetables and
fruits, which are real body-building
foods. Had we made this simple sub
stitution many years ago we might
have been a sturdier race today.
Butcher-Artist-Inventor
on a Woman 8 Job
The masterpiece a. the recent Eng
lish bazar for the sale of the handi
work of wounded soldiers was a cush
ion beautifully embroidered in a
stitch invented by the man who made
it. Previous training had nothing to
do with his skill. He was a butcher
until -lhe war forcibry shot him into
an artistic career.
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw Is
Strong for Schools and
Child Advancement
Dr. Anna Shaw says that coal
shortage, war emergency and like
troubles should not be an excuse for
closing the schools. "An ignorant
and illiterate citizenship," she says,
"will be a greater menace to the coun
try than all the financial debt of the
war." There are parents glad of an
excuse to take children out of school
and get them into factories and she
thinks that this country should take
j warning by England, which saw, all
too late, where the taking of children
from school would lead them. Dr.
Shaw calls to the women of the na
tion, through the women's committee
of the National CounciKof Defense, of
which she is chairman, to "rise and
put an end to this menace at once."
-f
Policewoman of New York
Was Too Strenuous in
Her Pursuit of Evil
The village trustees of the town of
Ossining, N. Y., did ot like the way in
which Policewoman Anna O'Shea
strenuously pursued evil doers, so
they discharged her. She gave uo the
emblems of her office to them and
was immediately appointed deputy
sheriff by Sheriff Wiesendanger, hav
ing been recommended by prominent
persons for the position. Mrs. F. A.
Vanderlip and other wealthy residents
of the place have fitted up "head
quarters' for her, and she will get
after illicit liquor sellers and those
who annoy young women in any way
as her particular line of work.
Advice to Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
You Were Very Wrong.
Dear Miss Fairfax: My brothet
has been attentive to a young lady
for some time. Recently my parent,
received an announeemor t cf their en
gagement. The following day my broth
er's friend paid us an unexpected visit and
did not ..mention anything about the en
gagement to mother or nyo':e eH"
The sam! evening each member cf tha
family "bepldes the parents had received a.
personal invitation from ihj jounir Isdy s
slater vhom we have never met to a
party given in honor of her sister and her
fiance. ... .
My dear Miss Fairfax, wera we justified
in Ignoring the Invitation? A. E. H.
Of course your brother's fiancee did not
mention the engagement. When sha wag
friendly enough to come to call on you.
surely your family should have greeted
her as a daughter and should have given
her a loving welcome Into the family. Then
when the invitation to a reception Was
I sent you by people voho were doing every
thing in their power to be cordial ana
friendly, you did a hideously rude thing In
ignoring It. From the point of view of
propriety alone, your conduct haa been all
wrong. But from the point of view of com
mon sense and kindness, It is even worse!
How eouid you all make such a foolish and
stupid fuss about your own dignity and
stand so firmly on questions of propriety
particularly when you have proven that you
know very little about It
