In course of the clean-u- p and paint-u- p movement, which produced good results in many towns and cities, repairs of all sorts were brought about. The householder who looked over his property in the spring, with a view of merely removing rubbish from back yards and alleys, found that there was much to be done, and as a result of recent experiences in war economies has been Inclined to study methods of saving. One of the interesting features of the palnt-u- p activities has been unusual care In choosing colors. 81nce the ending of the war a wide scale of colors Is again offered, and more attention than at any previous time has been paid to general effect, according to reports received by the section. Information and education service, United States department of labor. Roofs have been recognised as important In the color schemes, artistic results being obtained by the use of paint In harmonising or contrasting hues. As a matter of conservation In the clean-u- p and palnt-u- p campaigns the repair of roofs has been studied and various methods have been employed to prevent the expense and labor of replacing wooden shingles. Preparations of asphalt are now commonly employed, for they have the advantage of recommending themselves to lire Insurance companies and they are Inexpensive. In several cities the slogan, Save the old wooden shingles has been Incorporated with the regular palnt-u- p and clean-u-p watchwords. Marmalades may be prepared from various kinds of fruit. The apple is perhaps the best known. A conserve which Is a marnuihide of mixtures of fruit is always au addition to Hiiy menu. Here are a few worth keeping and handing down . . : Orange Marmalade. Take one dozen oranges, half a dozen lemons, pec-- l very thfti and remove Ihe white Inner rind. Chop the rind very fine, or put through the meat grinder ; also grind the pulp. To a pint of pulp and rind add oue and pints of water; boll twenty minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand twenty-fou- r huurs, then measure and add one und quarts of sugar to one quart of pulp. Roll an hour and a half, or until Ihe fruit la thick. Amber Marmalade, Take one eucb of large graiiefrult, orauge and lemon, wash and wipe and cut fine, shred the peeling in thin strips, discarding the seeds. Add three and a half quarts of cold water and let stand over night. The next day cook until the peel la very tender und again set aside over night. The next day add five pounda of sugar and cook until the sirup Is thick. Store as Jelly. Golden Marmalade. This is a marmalade which takes the place of the more exHnslve orange marmalade and Is very tasty and wholesome. Scrape and put through a meat chopf per one und pounds of carrots, two lemons and the same measure of sugnr. Cook the carrots In ns little water ns possible, add the lemulso ons, ground (removing the seeds). When well cooked, add the sugar and conk until thick, stirring carefully to keep the mixture from burning. Put In glasses ns any other marmalade. Tomato Conserve.

So there i no telling what congress will or will not do In le matter of national park legislation. Can congress be induced to appropriate money r the purchase of private holdings for national ark purposes? This question has been put squarely up to con-reby two bills Introduced at this scvslon.

'' jw&tses zdAPAffemsM-- j&ffzwsap There is no question that the Indiana dunes are worthy of national park honors. October SO, 1918, a public hearing was held In Chicago by the Interior department In pursuance of a senate resolution. In September, 1917, a printed report by Director Stephen T. Mather of the national park service was Issued. This report eliminated from consideration all of the dune country except a strip along the shore of Lake Michigan about a mile deep between Miller's In Lake county and Michigan City. After describing the dunes with considerable enthusiasm, Director Mather says: "Assuming, without further description of actual conditions in this dune country, that the sand dunes of Indiana are equal to those In any other section of the country; that they are the most accessible dunes ; that they iiossess extremely Interesting flora and fauna ; that they offer unparalleled opportunities to observe the action of the wind and its Influence on the sand and plant life; that the Lake Michigan beach Is beautiful and offers bathing facilities for a multitude; that the recreational uses of the region are myriad, should they, or a large section of them, be preserved for present aud future generations? If they should be preserved, are they worthy of Inclusion In a national park? And If they are worthy of consideration as a possible national park, would it be practicable to establish them as such a park for the benefit and enjoyment of the people?" He answers the first two questions emphatically In the affirmative. He says this region should be preserved to the people for all time and' that it la worthy of national park honors. As to the third question, he thinks It one of legislative policy to be determined by congress, Inasmuch as the dunes are not public lands, and private lands have never been purchased for national park purposes. He thinks the park should contain from 9,000 to 13,000 acres, extending 15 or 20 miles along the lake. He finds that options secured by speculators vary between $350 and $800 an acre, with one tract of 200 acres held at $1,000 an acre. "Manifestly," says Mr. Mather, "none of these' lands are actually worth $850 an acre at this time. A figure less than $200 an acre probably represents the actual value of the average tract of land not under the Influence of urban values, due to proximity to cities. Practically all of the larger holdings must be purchased in their entirety. I believe that 9,000 to 13,000 acres of dune lands can probably be secured for park purposes for approximately $200 an acre. The purchase price of a park of the else suggested would therefore be between $1,800,000 and $2,000,000." The proposed Dune- National park Is really a wonderful place. In the first place, the dunes are an uninhabited wilderness. The fact that there Is an uninhabited wilderness within a few miles of the center of population In 1910 at Bloomington, Ind. and at the very doors of Chicago, the second city of the nation and the fourth city of the world. Is In Itself a marvel. Incidentally, the dunes are within a few hours by rail and automobile of people. This makes them unique as a public playground. Again: The dunes are a different world from the monotououa flatness of the Chicago plain. They are a country of hills and bluffs, gullies and valleys.
