CLEANING UPHOLSTERY
WITH DRY SUDS
Dry suds work like magic in clean-
ing rugs, mats, woodwork and paint-
ed walls—it can be used on -window
shades and glazed chintz.
Melt %2 c. soap in 4c. boiling water
(flakes, bar or scrap soap may be
used). When this mixture is cooled
it forms a jellylike substance.
Scoop a cup of the jelly into a mix..]
ing bowl and beat with egg beater
until fluffy. This is DRY SUDS.
Now you’re ready for work. Re-
move the dust from the upholstered
furniture with a vacum cleaner or
whisk broom. Before shampooing the
fabric with dry suds, test an incon„
spicious place to see if it’s washable.
If so, then apply the dry suds to a
small area with a brush, sponge or
cloth. Use a light circular motion.
Scrape off the soiled suds with a
spatula. Rinse with a sponge or cloth
that has been wrung from clear luke
warm water using a circular motion.
Rinse several times. Be sure no soap
remains in the material. Use as little
water as possible so that the found,
dation will not become wet. Work
quickly and wash a small area at a
time and let each new area overlap
the last one a little. Place the furni-
ture in an airy place todry, but not in
the sun.
If the fabric has a nap finish,
brush it after it’s thoroughly dry so
that the threads will be in the right
direction.
Leather covered furniture can be
washed with suds much the same
way. When dry, if the surface is dull,
polish it with a bit of Neat’s foot
oil or clear shoe paste. Never use
furniture polish or oils dn leather as
it ay cause stickiness.

U. S. WILL BUY 1944 WHEAT
The War Food Administration
through the Commodity Credit Cor-
poration will buy all unredeemed
1944 crop wheat under loan May 1, at
parity prices (1944 loan rates plus
15 cents a bushel) less all carrying
charges to the end of the storage
year. In addition, Commodity Credit
Corporation purchasing prices for
wheat in store in terminal and sub-
terminal elevators, which is being
acquired to meet feed wheat and
other Government requirements, will
be advanced from time to time dur-
ing the season.
COTTON GOODS
WILL BE “TIGHT”
The supply of cotton goods is
“tighter” now than it has been any
time during the war and is expected
to remain “tight” for from one to
two years after the collapse of Ger-
many, the Office of War Information
reports, on the basis of facts sup-
plied by the War Production Board
and the Foreign Economic Adminis-
tration. Production is insufficient to
meet military and civilian demands,
I and the market is short in basic types
1 of cotton fabrics used in low-cost
garments. The Pacific war will re-
quire more cotton as the basic mili-
tary clothing staple, whereas wool
has been heavily used in Europe.
Cotton fabrics such as certain denims
and chambrays will continue to be
needed by the military, and cotton
duck is now on the urgent list. Dur-
ing the first six months after the
fall of Germany the United Nations
Relief and Rehibilitation Arministra-
tion is expected to ask for 300 million
yards of cotton textiles, and the food
industry must depend upon cotton
bagging due to a shortage of jute
from India.
tures all along the French Coast from
Calais to Cherbourg, British and U.
S. Air Forces in December began at-
tacks on these flying bomb sites,
forcing the Germans to abandon
them and to construct less efficient,
camouflaged sites of simplified de-
sign. During 80\ days bombardment,
approximately 8,070 bombs were
launched, of which 2,300 reached
London—killing 5,479 persons, injur-
ing 15,934 persons and damaging 149
schools, 111 churches and 98 hospitals-
In fighting this menace from Aug-
ust, 1943 the British and U. S. Air
Forces dropped 100,000 tons of bombs
on launching and experimental sta-
tions, losing 450 aircraft and 2,900
flyers.

used sugar for this purpose in 1941
or to the extent of 250 pounds, which
ever is greatest, OPA says. Prior to
September 27, sugar was not autho-

rationed or point-free foods for sale.
Application for sugar for this pur-
pose should be made to the local War
