HOW TO GIVE A LUSTER
TO SILVER AND CUT GLASS
Hot Water and Soap Baths, Followed by Vigorous
Drying With Clean Linen Towels,
Produce Shine.

AS a rule the mistress Of the house at
tends to the washing and care of the best
china and cut glass. unless, CT course,
she can afford to engage experienced
servants who have been trained TO under
take such duties
In the usual household of mistress and
maid such tasks are generally assumed
by the newly made matron. whose knowl-
edge often is not superior to that OF the
average maid of all work.
In washing china. while hot water is
necessary to attain good results, it should
not he too hot. neither should it ever he
poured directly on the china. 1t is not
unusual for some persons TO pile dishes
into the dishpan and then pour the water
on. When the crockcry is strcns this does
no harm, even though the water is very

Capt. John J. Richards of Troop c
has preferred charges of unofficerlike
conduct and making false returns in
J the range scores of his company, and
graver charges relating to the DISPOSE
ton Of state property, against Capt.
Walter L. Harrington of the Fourth
company, coast artillery, and state
range officer. The charges have Gre
ated quite a stir in state military cir
Cles.
The list of charges includes allega-
tons that Captain Harrington allowed
men who were not members Of his
company to shoot with his command
and counted their scores in his COM
pany records; that he allowed men
who were not connected with the
Rhode Island national guard to use
the state ammunition; that he fur
1ished the adjutant generals Office
With summaries that were incorrect
and false; and that he as range officer
awarded his own command the gov
ernor's trophy when he had specifically
agreed that because Of his position as
range officer he would not allow his
company to compete for the trophy.
The fact that a company command
Ell held the place of range officer has
caused SO much friction that the mil
lila law which was last week passed
by the general assembly provides that
10 line officer shall be range officer in
the future.
