With the approach OF the centen-
airy celebrations OF the famous Tyro-
lean fght for freedom a new industry
has been created IN Tyrol Every
veterans association and rife club In
the land is preparing some kind ot
festival al which historic guns and
flags and other emblems will be dis
played.
Unfortunately, these relics have be-
come rather scarce In the hundred
years which have elapsed since the
war; but undAunted by this triaing
circumstance the ingenious peasaA'
try are Getting to work to make th'lr
own reitcs.
In this enterprise they have devel-
oped remarkable ingenuity. A new
flag Is usd for some time as a dust
er, and then after being carefully
smeared over with grease on bo.h
sides is put up in the garnet where
the grain is stored. In a very few
days the mice have made some artls'
tic bullet holes in the flag. which
IS then hung out in the garden. The
sun does the rest, and a faded AMI
tattered flag Of really venerable ap-
pearance IS the result.

cannon, and there Is no reason TO

FREsHENING STRAW HATS.


Light straw hats, which are the
worse for wear, yet which are not
worth sending to a professional
cleaner can be made to look nice and
white by covering the straw with a
thick paste of yellow cornmeal and
gasoline mixed. Let the paste stay
on over night or until it is dry and
brush off with a clean, stiff whisk.
If necessary, another coating of the
cornmeal can be applied.
Chip, Panama and Leghorn hats
can have soiled spots cleaned from
them by rubbing the surface with
crusts of bread. Use small pieces of
the bread and discard as soon as
soiled.
For dark colored or black straw
hats the best freshener is a thorough
brushing and a careful wiping with
alcohol. This is a much better treat
ment for a black hat than attempting
to give it new blacl1ness by shoe pol
