Mr. Davison's Announcement.
As Henry P. Davison? chairman of
tho war council, said In announcing
tho organization's nfter-tho-war policy:
"Always, ns heretofore, any plans
adopted will iiRstiro complete co-opera-tlon
with the rct.pt'ftlvu governments
mill will. ...it ......i.... ...lit. ..i 3
...... ...in ,,,,., iii-ui-it-n nun wiimii re
lations may be otnblMied.
"What the future Is to lie, no one
can Miy. Itut that there will be an ap
pealing cry of humanity from all over
the world, no one can doubt. The
needs of France, Ilelgltim, Italy, litis
fila nnd the Ilalkans will not terminate
with the formal declaration of peace.
A hard winter Is ahead. Kxpomuv and
the hardships of war. and the dislo
cated Industrial conditions of the
world have produced hunger, want and
disease.
"Politically the outlook for a new
and better world Is bright, but the
economic conditions are ominous.
There will be such distress In the
world that it cannot be met by volun
tary organizations. Governments them
selves must bear the chief burden, and
I nm confident that co-operation be
tween the governments may be relied
upon In nn endeavor to meet this
wholesale work of relief which will be
needed.
"In addition to this there will, how
ever, bo the necessity and opportunity
for supplementary work which Ited
Cross organizations throughout the
world can do, should do and must do.
Certainly the women of America,
working through the Ited Cross chap
ters, nnd the women In other countries
able, to do blmlhir work will llntl their
A Criterion in
Corset Styles
( l -v (i Ti '. I
It seems a far cry from the great
world war to stylos In corsets. Yet
even In corsets, which seem so Incon
sequential nnd so small nn iteiu In
the world's business, the war has
changed manufacturing methods, and
It looks as If It would have a lasting
effect on tho garment. Prices of cor
6ots went up with scarcity of mate
rials and Increase In cost of labor.
There Is no Immedlnto prospect of
their coming down again. For a year
at Ienst tho French corset fabrics will
not bo Imported In sulllclent quanti
ties to Influence price and tho labor
Item Is dllllcult to handle. Manufac
turers who are willing to shave ex
penses In every other direction will
hesitate to cut down wages. So wo
must reconcile ourselves to tho pres
ent required expenditure and hope
that It will not advance.
The low bust proves Itself tho most
comfortable and" tho most graceful of
corset models. In fact there Is no
particular reason for mentioning tho
bust nt all In connection with new
models that extend only an Inch or so
nbovo the waistline. Tho bust Is really
corseted by the hrasMero and tho
Jungs and diaphragm are not subject
ed to the slightest pressure. Curves
nn' long In figures corseted In this
way a consummation devoutly to be
wished.
Fewer bones or stces are used
In tho now models than ever before.
This came about through the short
age of boning materials iiud proved a
blessing In disguise. Kven tho stout
woman finds her figure well support
ed by corsets In which few bones aro
used Instend of many and the gnlti In
hearts dictating more than their hands
can do."
The Ited Cross work In north Hub
sla has Included the establishment of
an American hospliTil of, 100 beds and
the dally feeding of 0,000 school chll
(lion. Aftlvltles linvn hecn extended
from Archangel to many small vil
lages. An auxiliary ambulance service
Is operated for the medical olllcers of
the army, and everything possible Is
being done for the cure of our sol
diers In that frozen corner of the
world.
lleie at home the effect of peace
has been noticeable In a diminution ot
personnel nt national headquarter!
In Washington, as well ns In the di
visions nnd chapters. The Christ
mas roll call for 1010 memberships,
however, brought opportunities for a
largo majority of the workers to
keep busy until the end of the year,
and the peviunncnt future of tho soci
ety Is so well settled In the public
mind that It Is safe to predict a con
tinuance of effective chapter organi
zation throughout the country. At na
tional headquarters many of tho vol
unteers have remained on duty at
great personal sacrifice. A change In
the war council has been tho election
of Jesse II. .Iqnes and George 10. Scott
to succeed John D. Ityan nnd Harvey
I). Gibson, resigned.
. A complete review of Ited Cross
work hi any period, even In one
month, would fill volumes. But . a
glimpse nt the high lights, a skeleton
outline, sulllccs to Indicate how wide
ban been the organization's range In
wartime and how great are Its possl
bllltles In peace. .
suppleness Is obvious. -The wits of
corset designers have been put to tho
test nnd sharpened by necessity which
Is the mother of Invention, The nrt
or. the corsetler Is n great art and
an exauiplo of Its late achievement
appears In tho picture shown here.
This corset may bo ncccpted as a
criterion In corset styles. v
Kitchen Curtains.
Tho very prettiest way of curtaining
tho kitchen window Is by using tho
double-sash curtains. Dutch curtains,
they aro called. Slake the two pnlrs
of crisp muslin, or soft voile or cheese
cloth, as preferred, nnd sew down tho
sides and across tho bottom a band of
plain color to match the kitchen color
scheme. These hands may bo from
two to four inches wide. The bottom
curtains are usually kept closed, but
tho upper ones are alwnys open to
allow sunlight nnd nlr to come In and
tho bit of color at tho edges seems to
he just what so many kitchens need to
brighten them up.
Washing. Fluid.
The following will be found an ex
cellent washing fluid: Five pounds of
washing soda, ono gallon of cold wa
ter; put to boll. W'ljlle boiling, add
one pound of chloride of llino and stir
well; set aside to settle. Strain
through a cloth and rork up In a Jug.
Put your soiled clothes In ton qunrts
of water, or enough to cover them,
with two handfuls of chipped fonp and
one pint of fluid.

in tho work ot the MiiKtlom.
I. Jethro's Visit to Moses (18:1-0).
1. The occasion (v. 1). Upon receipt
of the news of tho marvelous deliver
ance of the Israelites from the Egyp
tians .lethro went out to meet Moses.
J. The object (vv. 2--I). It wns to
bring to Moses lils wife and children.
When (Jod called him to go to Egypt
to deliver his people Moses did not
deem It wise to take with him his wlfo 1
and children, therefore left them with
his father-ln-lnw. Now that (led had
wrought so wonderfully It was deemed
wl.e for his family to Join him.
3. The place (vv. 5, 0). At Mt. Slnal,
where the Israelites were encamped.
II. Meses' Reception to Jethro (18:
7-12).
Moses honored him not only as his
father-in-law, but as tho priest of Mid
Inn. .lethro, though outside of the
covenant people, evidently retnlned
traditions of the true (Jod, as Melehlz
edek before him did. It seems to have
been a case of mutual nffectlonnnd es
teem. Moses rehearsed to Jethro tho
wonders which God had wrought
through him, and Jethro. (1) "IteJolccd
for all the goodness which the Lord
had done unto Pharaoh and the Egyp
tians for Israel's sake" (v. l). (2)
lHeed the Lord (v. 10). (.!) Con
fessed the supremacy of the Lord (v.
11). (!) Offered sacrifices to God (V.
12).
111. Jethro's Counsel (18:i:i-20).
1. The occasion thereof (vv. 11M8).
The day after Jethro came to Moses
he observed how completely Moses'
time was" taken In Judging Isrncl.
When he saw the greatness of the task
he Inquired ns to why he was doing
the work all alone. Jethro was a
shrewd ninn ho saw that a wise ad
ministration of affairs would make a
division of labor. Moses explained to
him that his tnsk was not merely a
matter of Judging, but of teaching the
statutes and laws of God to the peo
ple. Jethro recognized Moses motive,
but insisted that the method wns not
n good one, ns It would result In tho
wasting nway of his strength. Many
times one wnstcs his strength In doing
that which others could do so that ho
Is unable to do the more Important
things.
2. Jethro's plan (vv. 19-2:i). (1)
Moses to be unto the people Godward
to bring their causes unto God and
tench them the ordinances and laws, to
show them the way wherein they must
walk, and the work which they must
do. (2) Suitable men should be pro
vided as rulers over thousands, bun
(beds, fifties and tens (v. 21). All
great matters should be disposed of by
Moses and all subsidiary matters
should be adjusted by these judges.
!! Qualifications of these subordinate
Judges (v. 21). (1) "Able men," that
Is, men of strength. They must be men
ot such Intellectual power as would
enablo them to understand the prob
lems presented, and of such will power
as to execute the Judgments rendered,
A strong man Is one who knows his
own mind ami Is faithful to It. (2)
"Such as fear God." This Is the basis
of true strength. Only those are lit
to Judge and rule men who recognize
tho "rule of God over their lives. Tho
true statesman Is tho man who gives
God the rightful place in his life. The
ono who really trusts and fears God
can bo trusted to administrate tho af
fairs of men. (Jl) "Men of truth." The
ono who really trusts and fears God
must himself be a lover of tho truth.
lie must bo willing to follow after tho
truth at any cost. Ills naturo must
be open to tho truth. (4) "Hating cov
otoiibiicBS." He must bo a hater of un
just gain. Tho man who Is to he a
ruler of tho people must lw free from
! the .suspicion of following his profes
sion necause or personal gain, too
ono set to do such 'work should he able
to show clean hands.
IV. Moses Accedes to Jethro's Coun-ser(lS:2l-20).
This common senso advice met a re
sponse In Moses' heart. He recog
nized that God was speaking through
Jethro. After all, tho knowledge and
four of God was wider than the
chosen people. According to Deuter
onomy 1 :0-18 tho people selected tho
Judges and Moses appointed them,
