The leftover problem is one which needs daily solving and constnnt care In most households, to see that nothing Is wasted. Remnants of fish as of meat should be carefully screened and never placed In contact with butter or milk in the Ice chest. Fish should be served within 24 hours after the first cooklnc as it spoils very quickly. When buying meat remember the leftover which mny follow nnd may need a sauce. . Have all bones that are removed from roasts and other cuts of meat sent home to go Into the soup-stock kettle. Ask for the mar row bone with soup nnd stewing meat, as mnrrow Is excellent for shortening. With French chops nnd crown of lamb enough trimmings nre thrown away to mnke a most savory dish.

NOW that May and June nre not far off, the world is full of talk about graduation dresses. It Is buz zing about like the hum tf bees tn nil the schools and In tho homes that nro livened by those precious but opin ionated high-school girls who are about to complete one lap of their little Jour ney In the world. To each ono of them her graduation dress Is the most Im portant matter In sight, nnd It Is nn Important matter from several view points. Many schools, much to their credit, prescribe definitely what their gradu ates shall wear, and thus avoid heart burnings among the girls. A great many others give somo genernl direc tions as to how dresses shall be made, and let It go. at that; while other schools leave tho matter to bo decid ed without any restrictions. In tho lost ense n mother Is very often cnljed upon to insist on less pretentious frocks tbnn her daughter would select, and she may acqsiire n few extra gray ualrs and deepened wrinkles in car rying her point. But she insist carry '.t or else have her taste in dress dis credited. New Blouses SO MANY of the latest blouses, now being shown for snldsummer wear, have elbow sleeves and very short peplums, that there Is no room to doubt that they are proving popu las. Designers have great faith In these features In midsummer styles since they nro fashioning the most :ostly lnces Into them ns well ns the usual beautiful nnd refined fabrics jscd for blouses. Irish lace, combined with filet and a little embroidered or pin-tucked bntlste, are the rich In gredients Hint go to make up the most costly of these blouses for midsummer wear. Often fine voile, with drawn work or embroidery ns an embellish ment, takes tho place of bntlste. In many blouses one or the other of these fabrics predominates, but sometimes they make way for tho laces and are merely used to set them together clev erly. Among blouses that are simply lace trlmmetl or ornamented with leedlcwork, voile Is n favorite mate ria). Tjio lovely blouse shown here, made if crepe georgette and decorated with jeads, Is a perfect cxnmplo of the siew summer blouse. Its short pcmlum, cut 'is to four scallops nt tho bottom, h simply an extension of the body of he blouse. Bnds In short strands 'orm u fringe for the peplum and the oosely adjusted girdle la niude of the The graduation dress is to be made of some thin white fabric iu a pretty but simple design, nnd a delightful ex ample appears In tho picture nbove. White voile and narrow white satin ribbon give n good account of them selves In this girlish dress, which em ploys nothing else (except whlto satin for a girdle) In Its makeup. The voile Is gathered Into n ribbon nt tho bot torn of the skirt nnd tacked to nn un derskirt of lining silk. Net, organdie, bntlste or georgette might be made in the same way. Another frock esnploys narrow rib bon and wide tucks In Its decoration. It has n full straight skirt, finished at tho bottom with three rows of sntlu ribbon about' an Inch nnd n half wide, placed two and a half Inches apart, Above them nt the knee there are" two tucks, three Inches wide, with n four Inch space between thesn, nnd nbove these three rows of ribbon again. Rib bon encircles the baby waist and fin ishes tho short sleeves, plnccd In three Pvs uii mum uuu iiiiuwy lonna n nap "sash with long loops and ends nf . . i , - . . n m the front and Smocks crepe. The sleeves are set In with hemstitching which continues to be the favorite wuy of disposing of seams In blouses, A smock of crepe le chine shown with the blouse employs beads also for Its trimming, but they are used on Its skirt much more plentifully thnn on the body, reversing the order of things In the blouse. This Is n slip over model fastening on ths shoulder and having long sleeves. In the dark er colors it Is very practical for gen ernl wear or for traveling. In lighter colors it makes a pretty toilet for sum mer afternoons worn with white skirts or with light-colored skirts to mntcb. Many smocks have elbow sleeves, but these, not being becoming to some women, find themselves occasionally replaced by long sleeves with cuffs, like those shown In the picture. Stock Collar a Novelty. The stock collar Is such a stranger that Its nppeurance with pprlng modes r lasses It ae a novelty. It Is shown In little wrinkles with n smurt tie or a law Jabot us a finish. tieth city, has been announced ns having 218,109 people, and hns passed both Loulsvlllo and St. Paul, twenty-fourth city nnd twem,y-slxth city, respectively a 1010, by more thnn 8,000.

Mr. Williams lias ieen solicitor of the department o? ag riculture nnd was recommended for the position by Secretary of tho Trens nry Houston, who hns Just swapped tho agricultural department for tho treasury department. Mr. Williams should bo n busy nnn In spots. He has the Internal taxes to collect, nnd In addition ho has u Joint charge with tho depart aient of Justice In tho enforcement of prohibition. Tho collection of the In ternal taxes is n man's Job In Itself. The objects of taxation Include Incomes and profits, transfers of es tates of decedents, distilled liquors, ilgars, cigarettes nnd tobacco, capital stock transfers, playing cards, trans portation of freight, express nnd per sons, oil In pipe lines, telegraph and telephone liieysngcs, Insurance of various kinds, automobiles and accessories; pianos, organs, sporting goods, chewing gum, cameras, theaters, museums? circuses, bowling alloys, billiard nnd pool tables, sculpture, paintings, yachts and pleasure boats, dues of athletic, social and sporting clubs nnd as snsmj more. The grand totnl of the taxes tho commissioner of intcrnnl revenue col lected In 1010 was $3,830,050,012.00, which In ordlnnry times would bo con sldercd quite a tidy sum. COAL AND THE WAYS WE WASTE IT and transsnlt the power by wire to the points where It lis to be utilized. Why don't you stop burning conl and oil for every purpose under the. sup, why don't you harness your streams nnd .make electricity, thus saving conl and oil and utilizing millions upon millions of water-power that Is now goluj; to waste? IS BONILLAS A Mexican advices continue to speak of Senor Ignnclo Bonlllns as an active candidate for the presidency. He is at present the Mexlcnn ambassador to tho United States. As nenr ns the riddle of Mexican presidential politics can bo solved he appears to be hacked by President Carranza. Also the charge that Bonlllns is not n citizen of Mexico, nnd therefore is not eligible either to be a presi dential candidate or to continue as ambassador, continues to crop out. Tho charge appears to huve originated vylth Salvador Alvarado. El Heraldo, tho Mexican paper seized from Captain Hudson, Its Eng lish owner, lust year by Alvarado, makes tho charge. Investigation of tho chnrge on this side of the border Is said to show that Bonlllns was born In Arizona nenr Tucson, nnd taught (school In and near Nogalcs, Ariz., for a number of years. Best obtnlnnblo information on. American soil Is thut ho had not, until W rtv turned to Mexico, at the beglsjnlng of the Curranza revolution, changed Mb citizenship. He Is married to an American woman,, the sUter of former Governor Sat ford of Arizona. Samuel L. Rogers, tho man who Is taking the 1020 census, seems te bo doing, well by his country. Any way, every day or two he gets on tlic first page with some figures whtcfr show that apparently every city n the United Stntes hns grown substantial) slnco tho 1010 census was taken. Chicago, for example, has nppnn ently about 2,885,000 inhabitants, an Increase of about 32 per cent. On this showing It is probably the third city of the world, with only Loudon and New York nhend of It. Mr. Rogers also announces that Dnyton, O.., hns now n population of 153,800, an Incrensc of 31.1 per cent. Dayton ranked ns fifth Ohio city nnd forty-third city of the country In pop ulation in 1010, with 110,577 people an Increase of .10.0 per cent over lOOOv Syracuse, N.

In other words, th country Is today wasting in this wnj enough coal to pay Interest charges on tho cost of srcmplctely electrifying all tho railroads of tho United States, A superman from Murs if suet thcro Is and ho should pay us- n visit would either laugh or wetp over out coal situation.
