35 Million toWage War on Styles
j Con»umer»* Union, Comprised of Women, to Battle Againtt
High Coit of Living
The Consumers' union, 35,000,000 members strong, will soon be in
! action, according to a Washington correspondent.
It will call nation-wide strikes. One of the first will be against
styles. Every one of the 35,000,000 women belonging to the union will
pledge herself to wear last year's hats and last year's gowns.
"Of course they will do it," said Miss Edith 8. Strauss, appointed by
Attorney General Palmer as a marshal of the army of women to be mobi
lized by the government in a gigantic offensive against the high cost of
living. "Every woman is willing to wear last year's hat if she knowa
every other woman is doing it. I've already gone on a strike against high
prices. I have taken a vow to buy no more clothes until those I am wear
ing can be no longer clothes.
"Everyone is organizing in America except the poor consumer. Until
j the consumers unite and stand solidly behind this government in an inten
j sive campaign against high prices we might as well sit with folded arms
! and watch the profiteer flourish.
"The women must carry on about nine-tenths of this warfare against
| high prices and with 35,000,000 of them organized and working as a
I solid unit with the. gdftrn ment, in si* months we can get the cost of
| living back to normal levels.
! "In .every city and village there must be a league of consumers who
I pledge themselves to do without rather than pay excessive prices. When
| milk is raised to a price beyond reason, like against the people of New
' York, they will call a milk strike and on certain days of the week do
1 without milk until the law of supply and demand forces a cut in the price.
"One of the reasons for excessive prices is that the American public
is drunk with money; people have more money than ever before and they
are spending it recklessly. «
"One of the first things we must do is to cut
another is to increase production."
Miss Strauss ii a pretty, energetic, wholly confident young woman.
Her official title is director of woman's activities: High cost of living,
'department of justice.
1 "Do you know that there are 16,000 men and women earning their
living by traveling through the country telling people how unhappy they
should bo and how they should go out from under aud overthrow existing
conditions?" she concluded. J

which ran between ttre years 1855 and
1875 Is described In the "Ilevue Tunl

service covered the fllstance between
Tunis and Susa up to 1868, and then It
wns extended to Sfnx. The distance
between Tunis and Sumi—a dangerous
Journey over not too easy country—

Charity at Christmas.
There can be no boiler sentiment at
tached to a gift on Christmas dny
than charity, for charity combines nil
that Is good and tender In hum.-in
Ideal, Impulse and emotion. There Is
a double Joy In charity, for It blesses
two. It not only gives happiness In
the act Itself, but It quickens and de
velops, for all after life, pure, pro
clous qualities of mind and heart that
are a well-spring of peace. Charity
comes nearer to spanning the Immeas
urable space between the aln of this
world and the holiness of heaven
than any other bleaslng that mankind
knows.
An Ideal Christmas which wouH

men Is one In which none should be

Some Christmas Love Supersti
tions, Customs and Practices
in the Old World
PURSES FOR POOR ORIDES
Money Collected and Presented In a
Way 8o aa Not to Offend Girla—
Flowers Uud in Proposals by
Bhy Young Natives of Alps.
Good St. Thomas, serve roe right
And send me my true love tonight
That I may gaze upon his face,
Then him In my fond arms embrace.
After placing a piece of holly under
her pillow, many a girl, In the north-of
England especially, repeats these lines
to herself before retiring to rest on
Christmas eve, according to a writer
lc« London Tit-Alts.
Cupid playa an Important part In
many of superstitions and customs
that are still extant at this season.
Another queer custom In the north,
although It Is not now so prevalent as
it was, is that of gathering maidens'
parses. The monef for these purses is
collected some weeks before Christmas
from the Inhabitants of the mining
towns, and they are given as marriage
portions to the poorest among those
girls who are soon to be married. On
Christmas eve a full purse is quietly
thrown in at the girl's window, so that
her feelings shall not be wounded by
an ostentatious distribution.
A Christmas practice among super
stitious girls who wish to dream about
their future lovers Is that of abstain
ing from food or drink or speech dur
ing the whole of Christmas eve. Then,
after all the family have retired, they
make a cake of flour, salt and water,
called a "dumb cake." This they eat
Just before retiring to bed, in the be
lief that their somewhat Indigestible
supper will cause them to dream of
their future husbands.
In the Alps there exist several
charming Yuletide customs of propos
ing marriage by the language of flow
ers. If a girl accepts a bouquet of
edelweiss from a man during the
period from Christmas day to New
Tear's eve the action denotes that she
accepts him as her future l^usband.
Another Christmas custom In Switz
erland Is for the young man to place a
flower pot containing a single rose, and
a note on the window sill of the girl's
room when she Is absent from home.
He then waits for a reply. If the maid
accepts the flower before New Year's
ere, then the young man boldly enters
the house to "ask papa." If, on the
other hand, the rose is not touched,
but is allowed to fade away, the pro
posal Is rejected without a single word
of love having been exchanged be
tween the couple. This Is a useful
custom for bashful bachelors!
in Sardinia Christmas wooing Is far
more complicated. If a Sardinian fa
ther has a marriageable daughter, the
would-be suitor applies to him for per
mission to speak to her by means of a
species of telephone that haa been In
use for the purpose for centuries of
Chrlsttuases.
It Is a'long string with a wooden
knnh at each end. The girl drops one
knnh out of her window and, the ahut
ters being closed, places the other knob
to her ear. Down below her would-be
lover pours words of undying devotion
Into his knob 1
On every New Tear'* day la Rouma
nla a fair of marrlateable girls la
held. The girls are all drawn np In
one line and the men In another, with
the parenta of both behind them. If a
young man llkea the look of any par
ticular gtrl he steps out of his line,
goes up to her and enten Into conver
nation. If he la favorably received by
the girl, his parenta and her parenta
compare notea aa to the marriage set
tlement and simitar practical matters.
Many quaint superstitions are asso
ciated with the festive season In vari
ous parts of Britain. In Hertfordshire
the wearing of new sbpes on Christ
mas day la considered to be very un
lucky; while In other parta It la
thought to be Inviting Ul lock to allow
any new leather In the house during
the whole of Christmas week. Some
folk say that "a green Ohristmaa
makes a fat churchyard," bat In Dev
onshire they say that a green Christ
iana makea a prosperous year. J
Superstitious people assert that on*
should be careful about the choice of
the holly for the decorations. Part
should be amodth and part prickly.
Then, providing both klnda are carried
Into the house at the same timet all
will be well. But should the prMUy
variety be taken In first then the hue
band will rale the household during
the coming year; If the smooth Is
brought In first the wife will be "top

CHICKENS NEED
HEAT AND LIGHT
Fowls that are wintered In cold
ports of the country, where the tem
perature rung below freezing to 20 de
grees or more below sero, need consid
erable protection. When the cold Is
so Intense that the fowl Is uncomfort
able. n certain part of the heat and
energy from the food eaten Is used to
combat this low temperature and the
food which 1b required for that pur
pose cannot, of course, be used to
manufacture, eggs. Therefore, the
construction of'the house varies, with
the temperature or part of country In
which It Is to be used. A thin and
partly open house Is best for warmer
climates, but must have reasonably
thick walls and be capable of being
closed quite tightly on severe nights
In cold sections. It Is comparatively
cheap to malte a house warm, by using
several thicknesses of Inexpensive tar
paper, and If a better looking struc
ture Is wonted, other methods can be
employed. In any event, the house
must be mode comfortable.
A dark poultry house Is unhealthful
and uncomfortable. There should be
plenty of windows to let In light so
that the house Is bright and they
should be kept clean so that the sun
can shine tn to warm and brighten
the interior. The direct rays of the
sun will kill every germ of disease
that It touches and that in itself is Im
portant. Too much glass is a disad
vantage, because the house warms up
too much In the daytime when the
fowls are busy and cools down too
rapidly at night when they are on the
roosts. "Windows should have both
upper and lower sash so that they can
bt lowered and rained to let in little
or much air according to the outsldo
temperature. If there is too much
window space reduce It; If there is
too little increase It.

Chandler Leads
Performance Counts
WHEREVER men ask much of their automobile* the
Chandler dominates. ' In the mountain countries it per
forms as many cars with larger motors do not perform. Climbing
steep grades with the sharpest turns on high, creeping up and
up at six or seven miles an hour on high without a miss or a
skip or a sign of effort, where others shift, the Chandler holds
for its driver the thrill of really satisfactory motoring.
In country roods of, mud or sand, and in the congested
traffic of crowded city streets, this same power and this
flexibility show their qualities.
The Chandler leads the whole six-cylinder group so distinctly
because it is such a good car and so fairly priced.
