WASHING SWEATERS AND OTHER WOOLENS
NEW FEATURES IN TRAVEL COATS;
FADS AND FANCIES FOR SUMMER
Measuring a Sweater After Washing.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Woolen sweaters, scarfs, and other
knitted and crocheted articles often
lose their shape when washed, unless
special precautions are taken. Before
washing a sweater, you should meas-
ure it carefully both lengthwise and
crosswise, and measure the length of
the sleeves. When you are ready to
dry It, spread It on a table covered
with several thicknesses of clean soft
material and shape It according to
the dimensions taken before it was
wet Pin it In place if necessary.
Use Lukewarm Suds.
Use lukewarm suds, about 110 de-
grees Fahrenheit, for washing sweat-
ers or any woolen material, and water
of the same temperature for rinsing,
say the textile specialists of the Unit-
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Never boll any kind of woolens, and
if you soak them, let it be for a very
short time, If at all. Neutral soaps
best. Never use strong washing
powder, or w?ter that has been soft-
ened by strong alkaline compounds.
Borax and ammonia solutions are the
safest assisting agents Lf the water
Is hard. Use soap In the form at a
solution or Jelly. Do not rub cake
soap directly on the sweater. Have
an abundance of snds, and use more
water In proportion £o the bulk of the
sweater than you would for a garment
not made of wool.
Don’t Rub 8weater.
Squeeze and work the sweater In
the suds without rubbing it. Press out
the excess water and wash the sweat-
er In a second suds of the same tem-
perature. Hand washing is considered
less likely than machine washing to
shrink a sweater or make it lose Its
softness. Squeeze the last suds from
the sweater and rinse It free from
soap In several changes of lukewarm
water. Wring It through a loosely set
wringer, taking care not to stretch It.
Spread It, back down, on a covered
table In a warm place, but not near
a fire or In the direct sunlight. In
winter, never allow a sweater te
freeze. Dry It Indoors. Shape It ac-
cording to the original measurement^
as described before. Turn it occasion-
ally alter It is almost dfy. A child’s
sweater may be dried on a form. Keep
a sweater In a drawer or on a well'
shaped hanger, never on a hook.
IN TUNE WITH SUMMER
which extends from the end of the
pointed panel to the bottom of the
coat and provides plenty of freedom
for walking.
Twill in navy or beige is popular
for the travel coat and Drecoll con-
tributes an ideal model in the coat
shown at the right of the sketch. It
also has a short scarf collar and Is a
double-breasted, straight-line model In
which the gray leather belt and single
button fastening are decorative. The
management of the pockets Is partic-
ularly clever and the design Is well
adapted to the striped and plaid fab-
rics as well as to plain cloths.
Among the various pretty furbe-
lows that are called upon to fin-
ish off the summer costume, no one
particular item has overshadowed or
In washable doeskin, are preferred.
Sometimes the gauntlet cuffs in these
styles are embroidered and nearly al-
ways they are scalloped. In fans old
French types have been revived and
the ostrich feather fan maintains its
hold. Parasols are mainly represent-
ed by Japanese Imports of oiled pa-
per and bamboo or wooden handles.
They are semitransparent and artful-
ly colored and they have fascinating
decorations of painted figures and
floral patterns. The one Important
rival of these sports sunshades, of
which an example is pictured here,
are those short, rain-or-shine affairs
made of rubberized silk, with fancy
handles short enough to be carried la
a suitcase.

Honor Thomas Moore
as Patriot and Poet
County Wexford Historical society
in Ireland has just erected a tablet on
the house in which lived the mother
of Thomas Moore, the national poet,
and the mayor and corporation of the
city associated themselves with the
tribute. Moore’s mother was Anasta-
sia Codd, and her husband, John
Moore, came from Kerry.
“Opinions on Moore have differed,
and will continue to differ to the end,”
said Bev. T. Byrne. “Some hailed the
poet as a national idol, while others
denounced him as a cockney. In the
poet’s life were incidents which did
not appeal to the Irish patriot. He
spent most of his time in England, and
was the idol of its aristocratic circles.
But under his gay and frivolous na-
ture he had the heart of an Irish pa-
triot. He was an intimate friend of
Robert Emmet, and wrote for the Re-
publican organ, the Press.”
The Knee, Plus
Bishop Alma White, founder of the
Pillar of Fire church and of Alma
college, said on the President Hard-
ing:
“Men are responsible for the shock-
ing fashions of the day. Men create
these fashions, and fathers actually
admire them on their innocent daugh-
ters.
“A pretty girl came on deck the
other morning in a very smart white
silk skirt.
“ ‘Isn’t that skirt rather—er—
ultra?’ her father said.
“She snun round on her heel, ■ and
the misguided niun laughed and
added:
“‘Yes, it’s knee plus ultra.’”
Camera Without Film
The amateur photographer' of the
future may be taking pictures with-
out the aid of either film or plate
in his camera, if the recent invention
made by a South African chemist is
popularized.
By this new method a street scene
can be photographed and printed all
within 3 minutes and 15 seconds. The
photograph is taken directly on a sen-
sitized paper instead of on film or a
plate, and the image is developed in
a few seconds.
Largest Motor Speedway
The largest motor speedway in the

will be approximately two miles in

ney.

“Purges” and
“Physics” Bad
fTpHERE are travel coats and travel
A coats—for all sorts of journeyings—
beginning with those rough-and-ready
tweeds and Scotch woven fabrics that
will stand much hard usage and end-
ing with twills, almost equally hardy,
but Jess simply designed. Now is the
season when all the world goes trav-
eling and Paris undertakes to meet
every need of the tourist and to see
to it that every coat is chic and in-
teresting.
Designers have been much helped
out by new Scotch fabrics in soft col-
orings and with borders in tones of
the same color. Besides these there
are large, striking plaids in clear black
and white, some ombre stripes and
large, indistinct plaids in colors. All
these figured fabrics are manipulated
to make them decorative, as in striped
coats with the stripes running round
outshone the others. Fashion has not
developed a furore but has spread its
attention over all accessories, giving
each of them more or less attention.
To scarfs and ties it has given more;
but other neckwear, gloves, shoes,
bags and costume jewelry bear the
stamp of this season’s vintage of new
fancies.
There Is a fad for crystal jewelry.
Short necklaces of crystal rondelles
interspersed with black or colored
beads, combinations of crystal and
rhinestones in collars and bracelets
to match, chokers of rock crystal and
delicate earrings of crystal and rhine-
stones are worn with many costumes.
They are cool and elegant looking. Be-
sides white crystals the aquamarine
finds itself approved and In increasing

HOT PACK CANNING
REDUCES SPOILAGE
Method Found to Be Quick
and Easy to Operate.
(Prepared by the United State* Department
*( Agriculture.)
Hot pack canning is the feature of
a bulletin by Dr. Louise Stanley Just
Issued by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture telling how to
can fruits and vegetables in the home.
Th® hot pack is a quick and easy
method which combines all the good
points of the other popular methods
and has some additional advantages of
Its own.
Briefly, the hot pack method is to
wash and otherwise prepare the vege-
table or fruit for canning, cook it for
ten or fifteen minutes In water or
sirup in a kettle, pack It boiling hot
Into the glass jars or tin cans, and
process in the water bath or pressure
canner according to the time and
temperature recommended. This short
precooking of the fruit or vegetable
wilts and shrinks it so that It can
be packed more easily. It drives
out the air and makes exhausting
unnecessary. Most Important of all,
the food packed boiling hot into the
Jars or cans and put at once Into
the hot canner reaches the tempera-
ture required for processing far soon-
er than if it were packed cold, and
makes possible shorter processing
periods. Moreover, heat penetrates
more uniformly during canning and
the fond in the center of the Jar is
more likely to be properly processed.
This cuts down the chances of spoil-
age, for it Is proper processing more
than all else that determines whether
canned foods keep or spoil.
The directions given throughout the
bulletin are concise. Wherever pos-
sible the scientific reasons behind!
them are stated so that the home-
maker will understand why she must
follow directions if she wants to put
up foods that will keep. Types of
water-bath canners for use with fruits
and tomatoes and pressure canners
for use with all other vegetables are
described and illustrated. A series
of pictures and brief statements give
the steps in canning In glass Jars
and tin cans. Directions and time-
tables for handling the various fruits
and vegetables from apples to straw-
berries and from asparagus to sweet
potatoes are included. Requests
should be made to the United States
Department of Agriculture, Washing-
ton, D. 0., for Farmers’ Bulletin 1471-
F, “Canning Fruits and Vegetables at
Home.”
To Wash Berries ,
Not every one knows how to
strawberries. Hull a few berries at
a time, drop them In a bowl of clean,
cold water, and take them out im-
mediately. Put them to drain dry In a
colander. The sand sinks to the bot-
tom of the bowl and the juice does
not have a change to run. Continue
hulling and washing a few berries at
a time. If you turn a whole quart of
berries into a bowl at once, some will
be watery and tasteless before all are
taken out. If you put them In a col-
ander and run water on them the
sand from those above gets on those
beneath.
Egg Dressing Used in
Place of Oil in Salads
Hot slaw with egg dressing is par-
ticularly acceptable to those who do
not like the flavor of oil in salads.
The ingredients you will need are:
2 eggs, 4 tablespoonfuls water or cab-
bage stock, 3 tablespoonfuls vinegar,
or to taste; 2 tablespoonfuls shredded
green pepper or 1 teaspoonful onion
juice, or % teaspoonful celery seed,
1 teaspoonful salt, a few specks of
dry mustard, % a medium head of
cabbage—about 1 quart; a tablespoon-
ful sugar.
Shred the raw cabbage finely. Beat
the eggs well, add the salt, sugar,
mustard, and water or stock; cook In
the double boiler until It coats the
edge of the spoon, thickening like a
soft custard. Then add the vinegar,
and pour it ovqr the cabbage while it
is still very hot. Let it stand a few
moments to blend the flavor of the
dressing with that of the cabbage.
This may be served cold as well as
hot The United States Department
of Agriculture states that the egg
yolks used in this dressing contribute
iron, fat, and other valuable constitu-
ents to the diet and that the raw
cabbage itself Is one of the best foods
we have as a source of vitamines, so
let the family enjoy this good slaw
frequently.
Color Fastness Depends
on Chemical Composition
It is a common fallacy that green,
lavender, or some other color is less
fast than blue or pink. Fastness de-
pends on the chemical composition of
the dye used, not on the color, states
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. Dyestuffs are grouped into
various classes according to their com-
position, and the dyes in some classes
are more fast than those In others.
Thus, a green, blue, or any other
fabric may have received its color
from any one of a number of differ-
ent dyestuffs varying widely in per-
manency. Without knowing just what
kind of a dye was used—and it Is
practically impossible for the con-
sumer to tell this—the fastness of
color In two fabrics cannot be pre-
dicted. A dye that is one of the poor-
est of Its class may have been used
on one of the fabrics, while the other
may have been dyed with one of the
best
Hen Beats Doctor as a
Mixer of Spring Tonic
Egg-yolk heads the list of iron-rich
foods and is one of the best possible
means of supplying the body with this
valuable mineral, says the \ United
States Department of Agriculture. It
contains phosphorus and calcium, too,
elements needed to build bones, teeth,
and other tissues. The white of eggs
come very near to being pure protein,
which is one of the chief substances
of our bodies. Eggs are also rich
sources of vitamines, those A B C’s of
the diet needed to promote health and
proper development. Taken all and
all, then, the hen beats the doctor as
a mixer of spring tonic, for she com-
bines minerals with other valuable
foods in a form that the body finds
particularly useful
TWO DESIGNS FROM PARIS
the figure and panels, or pockets, col-
lar and cuffs, with vertical stripes.
Large plaids, cut on the straight in
the coat and on the bias In its acces-
sories, achieve an effective decoration
and bordered materials provide many
opportunities to the designer. Fur
collars and occasional other touches
of fur are about the only things used
outside the material in these smart
utility coats, and the fur Is chosen to
harmonize with the color of the ma-
terial. A coat which illustrates the
use of fur is shown at the left
of the sketch. It is made of a soft,
gray coating cut with a pointed panel
in the back and finished with a scarf.
Natural squirrel fur finishes the scarf
ends and accents the split at the back

and earrings. Earrings are nearly all
in delicate patterns, whatever the me-
dium used for making them. Hoops
of rhinestones are liked and find
themselves in the company of rhine-
stone pins with the initial and mono-
gram types the most fashionable.
Some very interesting masque pins
are shown In metal and in rhine-
stones. Flexible, linked collars and
bracelets to match and stone-set
bracelets are equally popular. In
watches the square and oblong pat-
terns in many varieties are most fash-
ionable.

DR. W. B. CALDWELL
AT THE AGE OF 63
While Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Mon-
dcello, 111., a practicing physician for
47 years, knew that constipation was
the curse of advancing age, he did not
believe that a “purge” or “physic”
every little while was necessary.
To him, it seemed cruel that so
many constipated old people had to
be kept constantly “stirred up” and
half sick by taking cathartic pills, tab-
lets, salts, calomel and nasty oils.
In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin he
discovered a laxative which helps to
“regulate” the bowels of old folks.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin not only
causes a gentle, easy bowel movement
but each dose helps to strengthen the
bowel muscles, shortly establishing
natural “regularity.” It never gripes,
sickens, or upsets the system. Be-
sides, it Is absolutely harmless and.
pleasant to take.
If past fifty, buy a large 60-cent
bottle at any store that sells medicine
and just see for yourself.
