Handy Sewing Case.

Take with you on your vacation trip
handy little sewing case made of a
strip of lowered cretonne % inches long
and nine inches wide.
1t is simple thing to make and will
prove invaluable when away from home.
Bind the edges of the cretonne with
wash ribbon matching the color of the
flowers, and turn one end over two
inches; stitch each edge, divide into
thirds and run a row of stitching on
these lines, making three small pockets
to hold the tape measure, the darning
wool and needle case. The other end
turn over two inches and stitch down
on each edge and at intervals between
one and one and one-fourth inches apart.
In these little pockets put spools of
thread.

long and three wide and sew crosswise
on the cretonne for pins of various sizes,
and with smaller pieces of cretonne form
pockets in which to slip the
scissors, thimble, and bodkin.

To Wash Chamois Gloves.

In washing chamois gloves do not
wiring them or even squeeze dry, as
with ordinary glove cleaning The skins
pull easily and wringing breaks the ten
der fabric. Put the rinsed gloves into
a thick Turkish towel and press out
most of the moisture. Then hang them
in a strong current of air to dry. Fas-
ten the pair together by buttons and
hang with fingers down. The shrink
ing, of which many women complain in
chamois glove washing, can be overcome
by drying the gloves on the hand aft
err they come from the Turkish towel
and few minutes airing. A pair of
glove trees, however, also precludes
shrinking. Rub gently until dry. The
heat OF the hand makes this drying a
quicker process than most women mag
inc and there is little danger of taking
cold Do not neglect rinsing as well
as washing in soapy water. But by
leaving the soap in the color of the
gloves is much improved and the stiff
ness soon wears of.

AFTER GRAIN BLEACHERs.
New Trick Of the Trade Being In
vestigated.

Bleaching oats and barley with sui
phurous acid gas is one Of the latest
tricks Of the grain trade that has been
Investigated by the Department OF
Agriculture. The object Of the prac-
tice is to improve the appearance OF
low grade oats and barley and profit
also is made from the added amount
of water they carry. making them
heavier.
The Department of Agriculture has
held that there is no objection to the
bleaching IL the fact of its having
been SO treated is stated when the
grain is sold. II the added amount Of
water is excessive, however. the grain
is considered as adulterated and mis-
branded.
Investigation in three OF the lead
ing Oat-producing states showed that
1S723,0O0 bushels of grain were
bleached in six months. The bleaching
process has been cheapened so that 1t
has spread to the smaller grain mar
kets as we'll as the larger. Expert
ments in termination shoW that the
bleached oats are very seriously low
cred in terminating power, but pre-
liminary experiments with horses in
dictate that they will eat bleached
grain as readily az they will un-

TALE OF THE TIGERS
Artist Set Out to Make Them
Finest in the World.
FOR PINEY BRANCH BRIDGE
Four of Them to Cost District Ten
Thousand Dollars.
FOUND MODEL IN CIRCUS
Sculptor Proctor Haunted That
Tigers Cage for Weeks, Studying
and Making Sketches.
FOUND MODEL IN CIRCUS

Four great bronze tigers are being
placed today on the corner parapets Of the
10th street bridge across Piney branch.
and when the workmen drive home the
last spike which fastens each base or
''plinth'' into the structure Of the bridge
the city will see the finish Of a piece OF
work in which all the romance Of an ar
lists hope Of masterpiece Is bound.
These tigers will cost the District $4,000
they have cost the artist who fashioned
them the work Of eighteen months. A.
Phimister Proctor. q New York sculptor,
has staked his reputation on the four
tigers which his hands and brain created
for the Piney Branch bridge.
The tigers will sit upon their parapets,
with their tails inside This Is the ex-
preston Of w. w. Reynolds, the assistant
engineer OF bridges. who is watching
carefully the work OF lifting these 1850
pound beasts from the train to the bridge
Alike in Most Details.
The bronze tigers are very nearly alike
except that the artist has caught the
waving motion Of the tail and fastened
1t in bronze SO that 1t points inward to-
ward the roadway Of the bridge. That is
but small point. but. it illustrates the
fact that most of the detail has been
worked out SO that 1t will show the most
from the roadway, over which tens of
thousands of people pass In. q years time.
The great army Of people who will see
those tigers from now on for years to
come may not know 1t. but many a
Washingtonian has probably seen the
original tiger behind bars in the animal
tent Of q great. three-ring show that
strikes Washington once every year or
SO. Mr.. Proctor chose that circus tiger
because 1t appeared to him to be the
travelled to Zoos and animal shows the
country over. He knew tigers. He had
already made a reputation on tiger
fashioned by him for q building at
Princeton. According to the story told
In the engineer Of bridges ONCE, Mr..
Proctor found this tiger to be the tiger
he wanted, and then set about travelling
with the show, getting the tigers poses
firmly fixed in his mind and making
sketches and models OF it.

that the gaping crowds that paid half

group of four tigers the finest in the
world. For that reason he had no time
