TAiinml NOW FAD FOR PEOPL THE KITCHEN CABINET aKottt PLAITED SKIRTS Mott on Y. M. C- A. Plans Abroad .lonii it. .Mott, general secretary or tho International Y. M. C. A., In.out lining the organization's plans for helping to reconstruct war-ravaged lands, says "there arc too many holi days In Europe." Poland, according to Mr. Mott, has ninety holidays a year, besides Sun days, and Koumanla has probably twice that nuinher. "This mean Idle ness loading to political tipheavals," declares the American. In giving the first details of the Y. M. 0. A. and World's Student unristinn reiteration's proposed new efforts to help broken-down Europe. Doctor .Mott said : "It Isn't by giving bread, but work that reconstruction will be possible. "One of the tasks on which I ntn now engaged IS to attempt to devise tlie wisest way to Help tlie schools nnu universities- of Europe from the doeu- donee Into which thev were nluniied o. tile war. Otherwise education will bo lost through the poverty of profes sors, ami also through lack of students. "The keynote of my talks In Poland, qzecho-Slovnkla and Hungary has been self-help. The students must learn to work their way through colleges as is tne case In the United States. From tlie Y. M. 0. A. nolnt of view we are establishing model branches as we hope to show the new nations their way duck to work and to self-help. it is not by saying 'Thou shalt not' that the world can be bettered : It Is by showing the way. The Y. M. C. A. will help men to spend their Idleness prontaniy. it will adapt Itself to those nations and give them something per majient. There will be model Y. M. C.A.'s for universities, for railways, for Indus trial centers, and also In the country for the peasants." Why Cantu Interests Uncle Sam The clash between the IJuerta defacto Mexican government and C5en. de facto Mexican government and Gen. em district of Lower California, Is of direct Interest to the United States. Tho great Irrigation project that di verts a'part of the flow of tho Colo rado river and waters the famous Im perial valley of California is partly on Mexican soil and at the mercy of Cantu or Ids foes.. Cantu has moved his district cap Ital from Ensenaza on the Pacific coast to Mexicnll on the border, which makes him all but Inaccessible. To Ket at Win from tho north involves moving Huertu troops through Ainer Ican territory. If Huortn should by any possibility get permission to move his troops through American territory, It is believed on the border that Cantu would at once wreck the Irrigation works. This would be the death blow of the Imperial valley, one of the most fertile and productive regions of earth with its regular supply of Colorado river water. Without this supply It would quickly return to Its original con dition of desert. , Iteports from the border suggest that a move to separate Lower California from Mexico has been under way for several years. It Is said (hat Cantu's administration bus been such as to make all classes his enthusiastic support ers. He showed an adaptability to work hand In hand with American busi ness men and residents, so that they are his warm, partisans. Army Would Prevent Pneumonia He participated In the Phlllpplm of tho United States army from 1004 to 1008. military attache of the American legation at Tokyo. Japan. troops In the Hold fell to his lot during the Russo-Japanese war. Col. Charles Lynch of the medical corps of the United States army, has been appointed head of a hoard charged with the study of the causes f respiratory diseases In the army, and particularly the transmission of Influenza and influenza pneumonia. The Importance of this work is self evident. Smallpox, typhoid, yellow fever and other diseases that used to decimate tlie populations of the civi lized world can now be prevented. Why should Influenza and pneumonia present great obstacles to preventive medical science. Colonel Lynch was born In Syra cuse. N. Y In 1808. lie Is a graduate of Harvard, and took his medical de gree at Syracuse. He was appointed an assistant surgeon ' in the United States army In 18!W. After various promotions he became a major In tlie medical corps of the regular army In 1900. campaign and was on the general staff His next service was (hat of Service with Roper's New Taxation Scheme Daniel C. Roper, United States commissioner of Internal revenue through the wnr period, makes a new suggestion regarding taxation. lie ask tho question, "what proportion of tho war-tax burden shall this gen eration be required to carry?" and Id answer makes this suggestion : "It is my contention that with a Ioague of Nations for tho encourage ment of future peace, wo would be able to give thereby to future gener ations a quid pro quo for the money spent for the wnr. and we could, with propriety, then extend the tax burden further into the future. "I also have the conviction that this could be accomplished by con gress authorizing the return annually for five years of bonds to run. say. fifty years In tho amount of one-third of the taxes to all Individual and cor poration taxpayers whose taxes amount to. ib much us $150 In u single year. The effect of this would he to reiluce immediate tuxes by Jl.'IVi per cent, foster savings hublts, encourage Industry, and transfer to the next generation only a fair proportion of the war-tux burden," THKRK is so much to be said of separate skirts because there are many of them. The separate skirt more or less dressy to he worn with blouses and smocks that corre spond with It in chnractcr. has won tho steadfast allegiance of Amerlcnn women and Is taken as a matter of course in every wnrdrobe, Just as tail ored suits and blouses are. Together with tailored, one-piece dresses, It gives opportunity for varying our ev eryday cldthes for morning or street wear, and ' It is the cornerstone of sports apparel. In the richer fabrics. for afternoon and dinner dress, It Is the complement of many beautiful blouses and smocks. It Is a great con venience to take one skirt4 with sev eral blouses and ring many changes In the toilette. A fad for plaited skirts lust now has proved an inspiration to designers. They . seom lo delicht In iiii?nni,, management of striped or plaid fab tics that can be made to do all sorts of unlooked-for things In conjunction with plaits. Roth wool and silk falv- rlcs are to be reckoned with In tho fall styles, and all sorts of plaltlngs. A new fall model In striped woolen goods has recently made Its debut and Is shown In the picture above. Many ready-made skirts employ accordion plnlts, that are liked because they take less material than other plaltn and prove as effective, as may be gathered from the model In the picture. Tho plaited skirt Is easy to make at home. One has only to buy material twice tho length of the skirt plus the width of the hem, witli sometimes a little nddltlonnl allowance for matching tho stripes or plaids. The goods Is cut In two lengths, sewed up and the hem put in. Then It is taken to the professional to plnlt In a plnltlng inii chtmJfor one can do this work nt home. The plaits must be very thoroughly pressed down. . When stripes running on the diag onal are wanted, the making Is less, simple, but even then presents no very great dillicultles.

COLD MEAT COOKERY. So often a few slices of some choice u.iBi, muiin yr siew is aiioweii to waste because the fam ily is tired of It, when a Utile different way of serving the meat, a new sauce, would make It a most attractive and ap petizing dish. Roulade de Doeuf. Take a pound of cold roast beef, free It from skin, bono and gristle, and put It through the meat grinder with a third of a pound or less of ham or bacon, lean and fat together. Season highly with salt and pepper, add a toaspoouful of finely minced olives, n few drops of tabasco, a toaspoouful of mlticcd parsley, a lit tle lemon peel and a pinch of nutmeg.

Cook from three to four min utes and serve from the dish, If THE sensible mother does not worry when the time conies to outfit her daughters, big am; little, for school days. She knows that she ' cannot go wrong when middy blouses 1 are determined upon for school wear. repronchable exactness lliey nave made an unassailable place for themselves In the minds of those who shape the destinies of the best schools and many of these schools re quire a middy suit for the everyday wear of their pupils nnd admit no ex ception to this rule. Uniform dress for school wear Is so good an Idea that It ought to spread and It Is pos sible that some day It will be feasi ble for certain public schools. Moth ers can further It If they will. The successful middy Is not quite so simple a proposition to deal with as It looks to be. Its straight lines must be trim lines, Its collar well ad justed, Its shoulder shapely, Its sleeve roomy and neat, Its finish above re proach. The middy In the school suit shown above qualifies as a first class example, when put to these tests. It Is a trim garment with round-tailored collar, a little vestee, a tie and sleeve that belongs to the United Stutes nuvv, anil handsome insimiln. There is a .convenient nnil Inconspicuous P'-riiot on the left side nnd n tight cuff finishing a roomy sleeve. Rows of white braid are stitched on with lr. as a decora tion to collar and sleeves, the tie Is knotted In the approved fashion and spreads. Its crisp ends as It should. Plain skirts nppear to have passed Into the realm of forgotten things, In plain mnterials, and plaits reign In their stead. Double-box plaits mako sunilght up-and-down lines in the skirt of the middy suit. We have to concede that they nre Just the thing for it. For these suits It is worth while to use good materials French and storm serges, gaberdine, Jean and other dur able fabrics ijf medium weight. For older girls the length of the middy and Its hip lines need consideration. These are to be snug. Skirts uro usually side plaited. 0 Recnuso In n day ot my dayn to come rhoro waltoth a Brief to be.

Tho vegetables pre pared by I he or dinary cook are u byword for all that Is tasteless and unappetizing. The mineral snltH which we need to fceop tip the body functions are largely thrown down I ho kitchen sink whei: draining the veg etables. Rolling any vegetable In wa-' ter Is not the best method, for Its nutriment Is largely wasted In the wa ter In which It Is cooked.
