Automobile Performs Feat Creating
Wild Excitement.
Special to the Dallas News.
Fort Worth, Tex. Dec. 19.-An au-
tomobile party of fou from Dallas
created something of a sensation this
afternoon by climbing the steep steps
of the Tarrant County court house in
their car, a feat which is somewhat
remarkable owing to the fact That the
incline is not less than forty-fve de-
grees and the light rain prevailing
at the time made the steps slippery
enough to make the accomplishment
somewhat precarious as well as unus-
ua1.
The party consisted of ]. O.. Whar-

Laundry Notes.

Javelle Water For Removal OF
Stains.-One of the best chemical re-
agents to be used in the laundry and
for cleaning purposes generally is ia
velle water. 1t can be very easily
made at home If the following direc-
lions are carefully followed, and is
not in the least expensive:
How Made.-Dissolve one pound of
washing soda in an agate kettle or
stone jar, i'll quart of boiling wat
err. Dissolve one-half pound Of chic
ride of lime in two quarts OF cold
water. When the dissolved portion
has settled, carefully pour the clear
liquid into the dissolved soda. Bot
tie and keep in cool, dark place.
Kinds of Stains.-Stains which
bother in the laundry are of three
kinds, 1. e., those caused by vegetable
growth, those from actual chemical
compounds, and those caused by a
deposit of small, solid particles.
Mildew is perhaps the stain which
puzzles the housekeeper the most. 1t
is the most common type caused by
vegetable growth. When this stain
can see network Of tiny tendrils
which cannot be seen without the aid
of the microscope. On the ends OF
some of these tendrils can be seen
small cup-shaped organs which hold
small seeds or spores, which scatter
over the cloth and start new plants.
This is the way the mildew stains
spread all through a garment. These
little tendris will, if given time, find
their way through many layers of
the material.
Oxygen will destroy the mildew
plant, but it will thrive in damp,
warm place To remove mildew
from a garment first give it thor
ough airing and then place in boiling
water. After it has been placed in
boiling water, the character of tho
stain is changed and it is now chem
ical compound, for the mold has pro.
duced a dye. A bleaching process
has to be resorted to now to remove
the stain. Soak the garment in equal
quantities of hot water and javelle
water until the stain disappears;
thoroughly rinse in three waters;
then rinse in water to which a little
ammonia has been added.
In most all processes of bleaching
an acid Is formed which will weaken
the fibers of the cloth and, If very
strong, will destroy them, unless
quickly neutralized by an alkali. Am.
monia or washing soda solution are
the best to use for this purpose,

To Roast q Chicken.

If roasting in the oven stand the
fowl on trivet in the roasting tin,
so that the fat may run down from it.
Never let a roast lie in fat, as it
makes 1t sodden and greasy. A
chicken will take from half an hour
to three-quarters of an hour. When
the fowl is ready. lift 1t onto a hot
dish, remove any string or paper, and
pour away any grease there may be.
If gravy Is wished to serve with 1t,
pour away all the fat from the roast
ing tin, and pour into it little good
stock or beef tea. Stir over the fire
until 1t boils, rubbing down into it
any browning from the tin, season
nicely and pour round the fowl. If
liked thick the gravy may be thick
ened by browning little flour in the
tin before pouring in the stock, but
for an invalid 1t is more wholesome
left clear. - What-To-Eat, the Pure

A YEAR ON TRAINS.

The ordeal of spending a year on
trains has been gone through with
by an American in Europe for wag-
er of $4,000. His route was from
Vienna to Luiz. Salzburg and Luns-
bruck, repeated without missing a
train.
He was at first loath to take the
wager because experience had taught
him how wearisome railway train life
was, but the prospect OF winning the
money for his family enticed him to
accept. He soon realized that he had
moderated his troubles. Nervous at
tacks came on him when he stepped
Som the train, and he felt the
ground quivering beneath him.
After some weeks of boundless
monotony, and although he read,
slept, spoke and moved about in his
compartment. he felt like one robbed
Of his freedom. The specter of his
possibly going mad so tortured him
that he felt his will undergoing a
constant struggle not to go near the
door.
Worst of all was the hot summer,
when only iron energy and complete
abstinence from smoking and drink
ing-excepting fruit juices-kept
him going. He ate little food.

Our First "Comic Paper"

An excerpt from the Philadelphia
Ledger In your last nights issue says
that John Donkey was the first comic
sheet published in the United States.
In this inst; zee, and maybe only this
instance, Philadelphia is a little too
previous. In the year 1877 wasn't
alive then, but the record shows it
a comic paper with the name of the
Pictorial Wag was published in New
York City, whereas John Donkey did
not see the light till 1913. The pro-
prietor of the Pictorial NVag was one
K. H. Elton, manufacturer of val
entines, the editor being Thomas
Nichols. The publication didn't last
long, Elton finding that the mar ufac-
ture of valentines was trifle more
profitable. He afterward built up
Morrisania, and gave his name to the
adjacent village of Eltonia.
1t is curious thing that, though
we have the reputation of being a
witty nation, the history of our comic
papers is being marked by no less
than half hundred tombstones.- La
