Suggestions
A" SHEET f sandpaper will be found
most - useful and a great labor
saver in the kitchen. Soapstone
sinks easily collect grease along the
sides and back. A rub with a small
piece, of sandpaper - keeps the sink
.smooth and clean. The bottoms of pans
and kettles are easily cleaned this way,
not using half the strength required
with a scouring powder and in nowise
injuring the best of ware.
When frying bacon.-' l lace a piece of
clean brown paper in the platter and
the paper will absorb the outside
grease- as the bacon is placed upon It.
When ready to serve, the bacon may
be slipped off and appears much dryer
and more tempting.
Bits of toilet soap may be tied in a
small bag and placed in the bath, thus
using up the odds and ends that would
otherwise clog the pipes and traps.

Children's undergarments may be
made to stay well down in the stock
ings if an estastie is sewed across the
- bottom of the leg. like a legging, and
ithe Chnd'a foot slipped through.
A corn-popper from which the han

ART GETS RARE PICTURE
r
r
with. When completing her trip
abroad In the interest of art, Mlas
Crocker visited the Freer home la De
troit, which houses one of the rarest
collections of pictures in the United
States. It had once been open on
certain daya to the public, but the
public had abused the privilege and
vnly real patrons of art could galu
admission.
However. Miss Crocker's sincere ap
preciation of the picture was not lost
on Mr. Freer, who although a sick man,
disobeyed his physician, and for two
hours showed her his collection, an I
at parting aaid that when he came
to dividing his pictures he would re
member her. This he has done gener
ously in the gift of the Sung picture
which will be on exhibition next
Thursday, together with some speci
mens of Chinese pottery that have
been excavated in a perfect state of
preservation,, this being loaned by
A Lucius Allen Lewis and Mrs. Helen
Ladd Corbett.
Among them is a Jar of the Han
period, extending from 260 B. C tv
220 A. D., and Is decorated with ani

Reed Opens
Fall Term
Tomorrow
Reed college will open for the fall
term Monday. Early in the summer
the faculty decided that owing to the
demand for men in the" harvest fields
and the number of Reed men working
on farms in the summer, the college
would not open until the above date.
In spite of the fact that over half
of the men students hays enlisted in
some branch of the service, there will
be more present Monday to register
than ever before. The standard haa
not been lowered any, but there have
been more applicants of high standing
than ever heretofore, which has caused
the faculty to allow more students to
enter.
Monday will be .given over entirely
to registration, and Tuesday will, be
the first day of real school work.
There will be several new faces
among the faculty to fill the vacancies
left by those departing. Paul Douglas
will teach sociology in the place of
William Fielding Ogburn. Vernon B.
Rhodenlzer will take the place of Nor
man Frank Coleman In the English de
partment. C. H. Gray will also
teach in the English department
Jasper Jacob Stahl, who Is now
with the naval militia in Seattle.
will be succeeded by Alfred H. Schmidt.
Frieda Goldsmith will assist Dr. Bertha
Stuart In the physical education de
partment. There has been no instruct
or chosen to fill the vacancy left by
Eleanor Rowland, now Mrs. Harry
Wembridge, so there will be no courses
offered in psychology-
At a recent faculty meeting it was
decided that the"-Christmas vacation
would be shortened a week, nut that
spring vacation would remain as out
lined. Pees Are Minimised
The policy of charging no registra
tion fees, no library fees, no gradua
tion or diploma fees that are custom
ary in other colleges, will be continued
as usual, but on account of the great
increase In the cost of scientiflo mate
rials the council of the faculty has
seen fit to charge laboratory fees. The
tuition fee of 1100 will be continued.
The actual cost to the college for the
education of each student is a little
mom than 8400.
The rooms in the dwelling halls,
which rent at $40 a semester for each
student, yield to the college a gross in
come of 1.6 mills per day per square
foot. Figured on the same basis, tne
charges at certain other institutions
are as follows: Princeton 4, Williams
8.9. Chicago S., Dartmouth 8.1, Indi
ana 2.9. Harvard 2.8. Columbia 2.8.
