Ryce of Hartford, a member of the National Committee of the Woman's Section of the Navy League, has suggested to that organization that every American woman display an American flag from her home during daylight hours as an ob- Ject lesson in national patriotism. In making the suggestion the Hartford member writes: "I do wish American women would buy and fling to the breeze our Flag. What a grand sight it would present, if every member of the Woman's Section of the Navy League would keep one flying all the time.

It would prove an education in patriotic Ideals that nothing else can give. The very sight of our Flag is inspiring. 1 lived in Europe ten years, and used to swallow the tears when I came upon that glorious Flag unexpectedly. Fling it out' and show those hyphenated foreigners our Flag. Let them know the women can and will fight for it." THE UMBRELLA A SYMBOL In Eastern countries umbrellas and parasols, very necessary adjuncts of the American woman's wardrobe, are supposed to denote sovereignty and power.

For generations only the rich and the great favored them in the West, and for a long time they were seen only at weddings, when the bridesmaid carried one over the head of the bride. In 1786, thanks to John Han-way, umbrellas came into more general use. He met with opposition and ridicule, but, nothing daunted, he found many people who recognized their worth and followed his example. QUESTION COLUMN Two Kinds of Soap. Dear Miss Leonard We have this paper every day it is printed.

I like the woman's page best of all. I have learned from your writings, as so many others have. Would you please explain how home-made soap is made. I think if it was told simply just how it was mixed and how long I mean for about six pounds of fat. Grace K.

A recipe for making homemade soap was given in this column not long ago, but as you asked for one using six pounds of grease I am giv ing you a glycerine soap recipe and one for naphtha soap, both made of this a mount of grease. For the glycerine soap have your six pounds of clear fat warm, but not hot; add to It a 10-cent can of potash which has been dissolved in a quart of water (cold). Stir for five minutes with a stick, then add 5 cents worth of glycerine. Stir for fifteen minutes longer and the mixture Is ready to put Into your molds. Cut into bars just before it hardens.

If your grease is clean, well strained grease, not too rancid, this soap may be used for toilet purposes. Naphtha Soap To make naphtha soap you can use any mixture of fats. For six pounds of grease have a 10-cent can of potash, as above, which dog, San Toy. This photo of him was snapped while he was away on his va cation to Point Pleasant, N. J.

Expert Tells Grape Juice Leave grapes, after they have been equeezed and needed, for twenty-four hours to allow the tartaric acid to escape.

Tho tartarle acid or cream of tartar crapes causes the disagreeable, sugary coating often found on the top of crape Jelly ami grape Juke. It one leaves the juice overnight much of this acid will escape and the likelihood of a suimry crust forming is very small. In making grape Jam or conserve it is not absolutely necessary to have the Jars made air tight. However, It Is always necessary to keep them covered so as to avoid mold. The mold bacteria are present In the dust that will be stirred up in the cleanest most well-swept room, and unless food Is kept covered some of the bacteria may settle on It and In a short time the mold will develop.

Thick preserves, such as jams and conserves, are not usually rendered worthless by this mold covering, as the bacteria do not as a general thing go deeper than the top surface, and when that Is removed the food may be used. However. It Is not In any way an advantage, and where a little precaution will prevent it it Is certainly worth while. In putting paraffin on preserves and Jelly it is well do use it Just as soon as the material is in the Jars and -while it is still boiling hot There are sev eral reasons for this, the principal one being that if the jelly or Jam is left uncovered to cool there will be danger of mold bacteria forming, and 'If covered the steam from the fruit will condense on the cover and drop down into the Jelly and cause the development of ferment, which will prevent the proper sealing of the Jars. Paraffin is tasteless and will not Impart a flavor to the Jelly even though it goes to the bottom of the jar when it is hot.

As soon as the paraffin coolc It will rise to the top and form a perfect seal. This Is preserving time and all ovp? the country, In city and town, housewives are superintending the transformation of various kinds of fruit into Jelly and Jam and con.ierve, Grape make especially delicious preserves, and the above advice was given by Mrs. Nellie Snyder the New Tori; tate Agricultural School at Farming-dale, L. in a talk to housewives on "the methods of making grape Juice and grape preserves. The lecture was given at the House-wive League headquarters in IIan-jhattan, and Mrs.

Snyder gave the following recipes for the benefit of her audience: Grape Jelly. Wash the grapes, stem them and put Into a pan with a small amount of water, one-fifth of a quart to every quart of grapes. Press with a spatula or potato masher and boil 10 minutes. through two thicknesses of cheesecloth and let the juice that drips stand overnight. Test the juice for pectin by putting one tablespoonful of Juice into two of alcohol and let stand for about ten minutes.

If it "Jells," put the Juice on to boil for ten min utes. In the meantime have the sugar melted, using four cupfuls of sugar to every five of Juice. When the juice has been boiling ten minutes, add the sugar and boil five minutes more. Pour into sterilized Jars and seal. Grape Conserve.

Pulp three pounds of grapes and heat till seeds may be removed by pressing. Put skins and pulp together and put on to boil. When the fruit comes to a boll, add three pounds of sugar, and when that comes to a boil, add a half pound of seeded raisins. When this mixture boils up, add the pulp and Juice of two oranges and boil all together for twenty minutes. WILL TELL REPUBLICANS OF "ANTI" ATTITUDE Miss Lucy J.

"I hear the tramp of horses' feet; go to the gate to see who comes at this hour, and make haste, for I wish thee to set tho tea table," and I he good woman bent again over her big oven, while the child ran down the. shady lane to the gate. Prudence and her widowed mother lived in a small cottage on the outskirts of Philadelphia in the days of the Revolutionary War.

They were Quakers, who did not believe In fighting, but little Prudence was heart and soul with the American cause. In a few moments Prudence came running buck. "Mother, it is the Hritish they are coining up uie path," said the girl, excitedly. I the shadowy road came a troop of Redcoats. They clattered up and slopped before the low white porch.

Mrs. Adams came to the door. "We are British dragoons," said the commanding officer, with a bow. "And we will make our headquarters here tonight." In a few seconds the troopers were dismounted and swarming into the house, l'rudence and her mother knew there was nothing to do but wait on the men, so they conked a big supper and spread the table with cold meat, bread, preserves and milk in plenty. Then Prudence went into the room to wait on the ottlcers tuble.

It was very chilly, and the big room looked very cozy with the firelight dancing on the ceiling and the men in red coats sitting about the table smoking. So Prue sat down back in the dark comer of the chimney and waited for the guests to finish. The men laughed and talked so long that the child fell asleep, but so far back in the shadows was she that no one knew of her presence. Presently loud voices awoke her. She did not stir, but kept perfectly still and listened for the officers were telling of their plans to attack Washington, who was encamped not far off.

Some of the olllcers were getting angry and their tones were noisy. But at last quiet was restored and a plan agreed upon, which was that at dawn the Hritish forces were to surround the American troops and take them by surprise. The party broke up and went off to bed. But Prue was too much troubled to go to sleep. "Mother!" she said, "I was back In the corner and heard the plot to attack the Revolutionary forces at dawn.

I mean to warn General Washington." Prue raced to the stable and saddled a colt which she nad raised. Starlight was fleet of foot, and as soon as the girl was on his back, set out JUNIOR EAGLE LIBRARY SEI'TKMIlEn 17.

down the road ai a swift run. Past fields of corn and through the forest she sped, over the streams and down the long sweep of the meadows. The moon struggled through a cloudy sky, the night wind sang in her ears, the shadows danced along us the horse and rider swept over hill and dale. Then the chill made her cold as the colt raced onward. But presently she saw lights glimmering in the distance, and as the horse slackened its pace, a soldier in the uniform of the American Army stepped out of the bushes and laid his hand on her reins.

"I must see General Washington at once!" Prue panted. 'It is a matter of life and death." The sentry led her to the General's tent. There she told him of what she had heard. Washington sent for his olllcers, acquainted them with the news and told them to have the army In readiness to meet the enemy at dawn. The bugles sang out the call to arms, and the men sprang to their guns.

All the soldiers were prepared to meet the attack. Washington returned to his tent and found the little maid had curled upon a cot and was sound asleep. "I will not disturb her," he said, as he went into another tent to await the dawn. As soon as the light began to break there came the sound of marching men, and out of the bushes broke the ranks of the Redcoats. But they were met by the fire of the Americans.

Surprised to find their foe on the watch, the British fled in disorder, leaving the Revolutionary troops in possession of the field. The firing awoke Prue. But when Washington came into the tent and told her the enemy had been routed, and that the victory was due to her warning, she felt very happy. "Here is a little keepsake by which you can remember how you saved tho American Army," said the General, placing in her hands a small miniature of himself in a golden frame. Then after breakfast he sent Prue home with a fine escort of soldiers.

The miniature the girl kept, and it has been preserved in her family till at this very day one can see it hanging on the wall of a certain old home in Philadelphia.
