( Tables and Menus for the Fourth For the Fourth of July festivities tthe colors used for decoration are of course red, white and blue, and this scheme may be carried out in the menu as well as in the table decora tions. As it is not easy to carry out the blue in the foods, it is best to let Ithe china and the garnishing supply the needed touch of blue. If possible iusc blue or blue and white china on the table. Red, white and blue flowers make pretty patriotic decorations. An at tractive centerpiece can be arranged by using red and white sweet peas in a blue bowl, or red and white poppies, or any other red and white blossoms in season. Red, white and blue bache lor buttons are effective. The color scheme may be carried out in the cen terpiece by using a white bowl or 'basket and filling it with crimson rambler roses and placing it on a blue mat. Of course the patriotic colors can be repeated in nags of various sizes, which may be used profusely for decorative purposes. In the first table pictured, a white cloth is used with blue and white lehina. The centerpiece is composed of four flags crossed and standing, isurrounded by tiny shields laid in a ring on the cloth. Small birch-bark canoes, holding red and white roses, are placed around this centerpiece. The place cards are tiny pasteboard boats decorated with flowers, and the bonbon boxes are in the shape of shields. In front of each place is a tiny candle in a walnut shell, placed between two small crossed flags. The glass candlesticks have blue shades, trimmed with red and white flowers. On the second table are decorations suitable for a children's table. Two wide strips of crepe paper, decorated with eagles and flags, are used as runners, crossing in the center and reaching to the edge of the table. In the center is a mound constructed to represent a fort and covered with imi tation grass cut from green crepe paper. This is topped with a flag ana an eagle, ana in me smes are siuc sticks of candy wrapped in red paper with strings at the ends to look like firecrackers. From this centerpiece streamers of red crepe paper extend to the edge of the table. Paper plates, with a flag pasted in the center of each are used. The bonbons are tied in paper napkins, twisted to resemble giant torpedoes and candy firecrack ers, and crossed flags are laid on the cloth. The center decoration in the third table is a white liberty bell decorated with crossed flags, hung from the chandelier. Underneath on the cloth are crossed trumpets; in the center a single flag stands upright guarded by a minuteman. White lilies fall from the mouths of the trumpets, thus giv ing the suggestion of horns of plenty. Blue and white china is used, with silver candlesticks having shades Pretty White and Colored Kid PUMPS ftlso White Canvas COOLEST AND SMARTEST FOR "HER" SUMMER WEAR $3 to $7 O&CQ WBAPauama To Get In or Out of Business; To Buy or Sell Advantageously; Use THE BEE WANT- ADS. lined with red.

British Honduras presents the in congruous picture of a natural green house, capable of growing almost every ordinary edible that people de sire, importing nearly alt of its food from oversea. Its natives know nothing whatever about agriculture, but the government has set aside a tract of land where experiments in modern farming are being conducted under the direction of practical men.

Stni for fm hooHtt "Th Aomane of CV . , By WILLIAM F. RIGGE. The chief event of the month is the eclipse of the moon on the night ot the 14th-15th. The annexed diagram will tell us all about the particulars. The largest circle is the earth s penumbra, and the one next in size is the earth s snatiow ai inc u eu: ,,, the moon crosses them. N, S, E, W are the cardinal points, and the dia gram must be held so that the line N S points to the pole star. When the moon is low down in the east at the beginning of the eclipse, the line N S inclined considerably to the left. This inclination, however, continually diminishes as the moon approaches the meridian, after which the line in clines to Ihe right. . The oblique line A B C F H is the path of the moon relative to the shadow, and the penumbra. The five small circles on it represent the moon at important moments. When its center is at A at 8:18 p. m., the moon enters penumbra. This fact cannot be observed, because the loss of bril liancy is too small to be noticed. As the moon nears B its forward or left side becomes darker, until at 9:19 when the moon enters shadow, quite a perceptible notch will appear to be cut out of it. At 10:46, when its cen ter is at C, the moon has entered deepest into the shadow, and 80 per cent of its diameter will be eclipsed. After this the moon begins to emerge and at 12:12 it leaves the shadow and at 1:14 the penumbra. The ten-minute marks on the moon's path enable one, if he be so inclined, to picture the exact appearance of the moon at any time during the eclipse, as he need but center a circle of the size of the moon at the desired time and see how it cuts the shadow and penumbra cir cles. On the 23rd the sun enters Leo. The days diminish in length forty-one minutes during the month, be ing 15 hours, 3 minutes long on the 1st, 14 hours 49 minutes on the 15th and 14 hours 22 minutes on the 31st. The sun is from four to six minutes slow on local time, and from twent-ty-seven to thirty -minutes slow on central time. Those that are clamor ing to set the clock ahead one hour ought to see from the times given in the "noon" column in the subjoin ed table that we have already, by adopting central time, set our clocks ahead of the sun from twenty-seven to thirty minutes this month. The sun now sets not far from 8 o'clock, thus giving us three hours of day light after quitting work at 5. That ought to be. enough. Putting the clocks ahead one hour within the limits of one city only and for a few months only, is a very ques tionable proceeding. First, there is the inconvenience of changing our time whenever we cross the city lim its. Secondly, what will the vast ma jority of the people do with that "ex tra hour of daylight," as they call it? It is too light to go to sleep by our usual clock time, and too light to begin a lecture or an entertainment that calls for artificial lighting. These will then begin an hour later by the clock. So that by really rising an hour earlier than usual and deceiv ing ourselves by imagining we are PARTIAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON, JULY 14-15, 1916. N W s . A Moon enters Penumbra 8:18 p. m. B Moon enters Shadow 9:19 p. m. C Middle of Eclipse 10:46 p. m. F Moon leaves Shadow 12:12 a. m. H Moon leaves Penumbra 1 :14 a. m. rising at the usual time, and then actually retiring an hour or more later than our usual clocktime, we are as a fact taking this hour or more from our sleep. Let those that are in favor of this early rising and thereby shortening their hours of sleep, do so to their hearts' con tent. But why should they force the whole community to do so? Let them, if they like, rise, go to work, quit work, take their meals, and do everything an hour earlier by the cen tral time shown by our clocks. The whole problem meets in this way an easy solution. Everybody then has his own way, everybody is satis fied, and there is no deception, nei ther real or apparent. But by no means set all the clocks in the town out of tune with those in the county and hrthe state and force everybody into your way of doing things. And then, why do this only for four months? Why not ftr the whole Household Helps Brooms put into boiling water once a week and then plunged into cold water will become tough and durable, last twice as long as those not treated thus, and will sweep better and thus not cut the carpet. To remove stains from wallpaper mix a little grated clay with enough water to make a smooth paste, spread this over the stain and leave for twelve hours. Afterward scrape it off with a paper knife or other blunt in strument, and brusn with a soft brush. No trace of the stain will remain. Saturday Will Be One of the Big Days at B. Pred's.

The Savings Bank Yourself By ADA PATTERSON. A little gray woman came out qf one of the city savings banks. It was a day of rain and she shivered in the cutting wind that blew up from the river. She clutched her bank book between her fingers that thrust them selves out of gloves that were past mending. As I passed her I saw that she was carelessly rather than poorly dressed. A rip in her sleeve disclosed a sharp elbow. For lack of the stitch in time that saves nine, the hem of her skirt dragged in the mud. Her heel caught in it now and then, impeding her walk and adding an extra strain upon her nervous system. A-shabby little hat, faded as to the straw and the flow ers on it, tilted with a woeful attempt at rakishness over her ear. Her face had the grayish pallor f one illy nourished. She turned into a factory building and took her place in the march of the army of manual labor. For how long? I wondered. Em ployers are impatient of down at the heels looking "help." They think it re flects upon the institution. And so m great measure it does. But we won t worry about the employer. Doubtless he is well able to take care of him self. Most of them arc. But the little gray woman burdened my mind. She and her fate weighted my spir its, because while she had been mak ing a deposit in one bank she was so sadly neglecting another. She had patronized the City Provident bank and was plainly indifferent to the bank of Self. . , , I believe in saving. I consider thrift one of the cardinal virtues. A savings fund assumes a concrete form to me. I see it as a dike like those which the careful men of Holland build about their little country to keep it from being washed away by the sea. Adver sity is a hungry sea of mountain high waves. The savings bank account keeps them back. But I fear the little woman was try ing to build her dike too high. Or that it would not have needed such height had she put more into the Bank of Self. The wage earning woman should deposit money in a savings bank against the day or days of dread. The day of illness. The day of "trouble with the boss." The day of being "laid off" indefinitely. The day of waning strength which we call grow ing old. The day with the caprice of commerce or the march of progress when the demand for her kind of work is lessened, or when its rewards dimin ish. To that proposition there can be no dispute from one of sane mind or sound character. But consider the case of the little, woman who gripped her worn savings bank with her fingers that showed through her gloves. She did notput enough into the bank which is her self. She should have deposited in the bank of self more and better food. That her skin should have had the clearness and the dash of rose which are tokens of health. She should have made more deposits of clean, invigor ating air. Yes, it can be done in a city in which a quarter hour's walk will take you to one of the two great riv ers that hound its sides. She should have deposited enough of time to mend that rip in her sleeve and to have secured that hem in her skirt, that each step might not be a jar upon her nervous system and possibly fling her face downward on the sidewalk. She should have deposited enough of cheer and courage to keep her shoul ders up and her face set bravely to ward the future. Yes, it can be done. I have known persons but one step above beggary who did it, and they soon left the possibility of beggary far behind. Don't acquire the whipped look. It invites whips. Put money into the savings bank, but don't forget to de posit enough in the bank of yourself to keep you solvent.
