communication from W. +. Irving OF
Sapinero in which the writer states
thst tbere 10 . great deal Of talk of .
state automobile road over Cocheto-
pa pass and then west either over
Blue orBlack Mesa, and urges that
the boosters of Hotchkiss and the
North Fork Valley take the matter
in hand and use their influence to
get the road over Black Mesa.
We believe this will be good
thing to boost and urge that the
men who have any influence in this
direction get busy and do what they
can. An auto road to IIotchkiss
over Black Mesa would greatly bene-
tit the town.

French obtained possession of the

Some Ways OF Removing These BIsm.
ishes on Clothing.

The effect of spots and stains on
the clothing is to give a general air
of untidiness TO the appearance.
1t is expensive 10 send the garment
to the cleaners for every spot, and
home applications are often ineffec-
tive, partly because the right agent
has not been employed and partly
because the work is not rightly done
One of the most important things
in removing stains and spots is to
remember that there must be fresh
piece of cloth underneath to absorb
the soiled cleansing fluid as it sOaks
through Cheesecloth is excellent
for this purpose; fold several thick
nesses and place beneath the stain.
BlOtting paper also is good.
The spot should be spread out on
a fiat surface. and the absorbent
material should be large enough so
it can be moved several times. Old
white flannel is useful in making the
application. using it in wetting and
rubbing, and taking dry piece to
soak up the fluid when the spot is
out.
One often has jet passementerie
that has grown Cs / and dusty. Clean
with alcohol slightly diluted with wa
ter and pat il dry with a clean cloth.
To use magnesia. mOisten the stain,
then the magnesia. rub as carefully as
possible, and let dry with magnesia on
it. The powder can then be easily
shaken on.
In using turpentine TO remove paint,
surround the spot with cOrnstarch to
prevent a ring"

BERLIN WOOL WORK AGAIN.
Fashions Wheel Has Brought Old
Timer Into Favor.

go many of our new things" turn
out to be old things slightly disguised
and brought into fashion by a turn
OF the wheel. Here's Berlin work as
the latest arrival This is work in
wOols on canvas in either 'cross" or
tent" stitch. The cross-stitch is the
easier and, on the whole, the better
adapted to elaborate patterns. 1t was
in cross-stitch that the DANES Of Oldenl
days embroidered the elaborate tapes
tries that adorned the walls of hall
and castle, some of which are highly
esteemed as art treasures.
If a girl is very enterprising and
wishes to give a very handsome pres
ent to some friend, she could not do
better than work chairback and seat
cover. The back of the chair might be
worked in the coat of arms of the
recipient. Cross-stitch lends itself
particularly well to such conventional
designs. The seat of the chair might
be the. crest only. Care must be taken
to do the work in the very best grade
of woods, as the others are liable to
fade. Sofa pillows worked in cross
stitch are always acceptable, and
many charming patterns (most of
them old ones reviyed) are shown this
season. Hand fire screens are very
pretty, but they should be worked in
silk on very fine canvas. A very little
practice will enable any girl to pick
out even the most complicated pattern
with ease, but for the lazy, patterns
are bought already stamped on the
material-DetrOit Free Press.
