Have you ever noticed how quickly
new tan shoes Will lose their new
look? They do lose it much sooner
than black shoes; but If you will pol
ish them with the yellow creamy
dressing that comes for the purpose
before ever walking out on. the street
with the new boots, theyfvill keep
bright and shiny for a long time. Ap-
ply the cream with a soft sponge
and polish with a soft piece Of old
flannel.
In separating the whites from the
yolks of eggs it sometimes happens
that a portion OF the yolk will break
into the white. This will prevent the
white from beating to a froth, but It
can be removed by wringing a clean
cloth ont of warm water and gently
touching the spot of yolk that has
dropped into the white with a folded
point; the yolk will cling to the damp
cloth.
Suede gloves can be perfectly clean
ed with oatmeal by putting the gloves
on the hands and rubbing them
through a bowl Of the meal exactly as
you would do when washing the
hands. II there is very dirty spot,
rub it we'll with a clean flannel cloth
and the meal. When the nap on
suede gloves or shoes becomes fiat
tened down or slightly soiled, rub
them lightly with sandpsper. This
will effectively restore the good ap-
pearance Of the suede.
The following is a simple. inexpen-
sive liquid which may be used for
cleaning colored silk blouses without
fear of spelling them. Crate two
fair-sized raw potatoes into a pint Of
water. Strain the mixture through
a coarse sieve into another vessel
holding the same amount of water,
and let the second liquid stand until
it has thoroughly settled. Pour OFF
the clearer part Of the liquid and rub
or sponge your garment with It, Then
wash the article in water, dry and
iron it. The thick sediment left after
the settling can be kept and used to
clean thick fabrics, such as carpets
and heavy clothes.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES Maud. 3 Z cine,

For cleaning and polishing irons,
saturate a cloth with water, wiring
partially dry, rubbing soap thoroughly
on IT. Place on several thicknesses OF
paper. Rub iron over it several
times. pressing hard. to remove starch
and roughness. The result is sur
prising, as it make the surface of iron
perfectly clean and smooth.
Cover your buck dinner tablecloth
with two squares OF white oilcloth of
the requisite size, binding the edges
firmly with white tape. This will
save constant washing of the cloth
and keep it thick. Besides, there is
not the danger OF burning the polish
on your table should a hot dish in
advertently slip and go over.
Very few people know that If they
shrink stockings before wearing them
they may be worn for a long time be-
fore holes appear. Simply soak your
stockings in very warm water. as In
shrinking any other material. Even
silk OF very fine Isle ones may be
worn longer If treated in this manner
before wearing.
If you would have your candles last
almost twice as long as they usually
do. try the following plan: Hold each
candle by the wick and give IL a coat
of white varnish. Then put the
candles away for day or two to har-
den. The varnish prevents the grease
from running and preserves the life
OF the candle many hours.
Some housekeepers keep a white
paraffine candle handy on washday,
and when making boiled starch shave
a little Of the paraffine into the hot
starch or dip the end in the boiling
liquid and twist it about a few times,
SO a little will melt Off. This gives
the ironed clothes a pretty gloss that
is not otherwise obtained.
Cut up on bar of any soap in thin
slices and all four quarts OF boiling
water. Boil until the soap is melted,
then pour into a bowl or tin. When
cool it will form a stiff jelly, which
readily dissolves when used. You will
find it invaluable for washing fam
nels, silver and china The best re-
suits are obtained when the soap Jelly
Is dissolved in tepid water.
Before laundering undergarments
run with ribbon, catch one end Of the
ribbon to a piece of narrow tape, then
pull out the ribbon and let the tape
remain through the beading until af-
ter the garment is washed and ironed.
The ribbon is then caught to the tape
and pulled through the beading. keep
ing smooth and straight.

Rural school teachers from all

debate at the annual institute Of the
New Castle County Teachers Asso-
citation, in Pythian Castle this morn
ing, over the proposal Of the State
Board OF Education that the teachers
Of the three counties help the board
in getting data to lay before the next
Legislature. for the purpose of get
ting increased appropriation for
county schools and increased salaries
for county teachers. Superintendent
George w. Twitmyer, representing
the board, laid the matter before the
teachers asking them to do the work,
aimee the board was giving its
services free. and because the board
had no money TO hire men TO get
the data.
Miss Rebecca p. Churchman de-
clared that the state boards pro-
posal in asking the already over
worked teachers to do an extra
weeks work in getting data was
nothing short of an outrage.
A few teachers agl eed with the su-

BURNED WHILE
FIGHTING FIRE
Farmer and Wife Have Narrow
Escape While Saving
Horses
ATTRIBUTE BLAZE TO
TRAMPS In TABLE

Fire one morning last week de-
stroyed the barn with its contents, on
the farm of Albert Harvey, on the
Talleyville road in Brandywine hun
dred. Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey were SER
iously burned while trying to save
their horses from the burning build
ing. It is supposed that a tramp who
had crawled into the barn to sleep
caused the fire by dropping sparks
from a pipe or cigar
When the blaze was discovered, Al
bert Harvey, who is a grandson Of
Lewis B. Harvey, of Harvey Station,
and his wife, started out to try to
save what they could. They dashed
into the barn and tried to drag out
their horses which were blinded by
the smoke. Although they got Two
horses out one was so badly burned
that it had to be shot to end its suffer-
ings.
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey were burned In
making their way through the flames,
and Mrs. Harvey had almost all of her
hair burned off.
The entrance gate to the barn was
found open by Mr. and Mrs. Harvey,
which leads them to think that some
trespasser had spent the night in the
place and caused the fire. Other farm
ers in the neighborhood are now
locking their barns TO keep out tramps
who frequently put up in such places
for the night. =

COL. ROOSEVELT
OUT OF THERACE
Joy in Taft and LaFOIIette
Camps Because of the
Announcement
THE EX-PRESIDENT SAYS
HE WILL SU.PvRT NINE
By The United Press.

by The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27-The Re-
publican Presidential nomination stu
alton was mixed up here today. 1t
was reported that Senator Crane, OF
Massachusetts, until recently one of
Tafts constant advisers, had written
a letter to Roosevelt, Offering to sup
port the Colonel if he would run.
From Philadelphia came the positive
announcement that Roosevelt will not
become a candidate, and furthermore.
that he viii not support either Taft
or LaFolette before the convention.
The Crane report caused much dis
cussion among the administration ad-
herents because Crane, at times con-
sideTed the chief political adviser OF
Taft, has always been one of the In
ner circle of the Taft administration
The Roosevelt statement brought re-
lief TO both the Taft and LaFollette
Interests.
The Roosevelt announcement was
made through the Philadelphia North
American upon the specific authority
Of Colonel Roosevelt given to the
editor OF that paper. The statement
outlines the continuous efforts ol
Roosevelt to make his position know
and without any direct quotation, thS
ex-President asserts that he has no
the slightest idea Of entering tn,
race.
The most important feature of th'
announcement, aside from the assur
ance that T. r. will not be a candidate
is the following statement:
Colonel Roosevelt will not supper
any man for the nomination In 1872
neither Taft nor anyone else. He neve
gave Mr. Taft AMI pledge or offer o
support nor did Mr.. Taft ever hav
such an impression"
1t is a known fact that following
Roosevelt's editorial on the steo
trust situation the reports of his re
newed activity gave concern to bot
the Taft and LaFollette followers.

cial officer of the Pennsylvania rail-
road The officers came upon the first
group of men in a wood, a short dis
tance from Richardson Park, but the
men saw them coming, and when
somebody gave a shout all started to
run. The officers gave chase and shot
their revolvers in the air but this had
no effect After a long chase three OF
the men were captured. They gave
their names as George Carroll, Peter
Walsh and Joseph Gengelbach. The
last named however, changed his
name to Joseph Suttino, claiming the
first name he gave was fictitious. Al
three are white men, Suttino being
middle aged and the others young
men.
The officers continued their search
and finally came upon another party
in a wood between Newport anC
Prices Corner. The members Of the
gang dispersed but this time th'
shots from the revolvers Of the
officers brought two of the mer
to standstill. and they also were

MOTHER'SCARE
Or. COrkraD, Referring to
Beattie, Says he Was
Unfortunate
POINTS OUT LESSON
TO YOUNG OF CONGREGATION

DR.. w. f. Corkran, pastor of Union
NJ e. Church in his sermon last night
spoke on the subject, Story OF the
Wickedness of Elis Sons and the over
Indulgence of their Father" First
Samuel, third chapter, eleventh to the
fourteenth verses.
In speaking Of Henry Clay Beattie,
Mr. Corkran said;
HE was unfortunate in nOt having
a mothers influence in his later years.
The greatest OF all human influence
for good is that of a good mother. No
young man has the best chance in fac
ing the evils of the world who hasn't
a mother to meet him at the threshold
on his return from life conflicts.
"He was unfortunate in that he ap-
pears to have had an over indulgent
father. A fathers tenderness toward
his children is especially excited when
those children become motherless and
there is great danger that it will re-
suit in excessive indulgence.
Young Beattie was allowed large
liberty in his coming and going and
in the use of money for so-called So
cial pleasures. The lesson of self
restraint Is tue iuOol inlpol ldhb iNo'
son for young people to learn well
This must be inculcated largely by
the exercise of parental restraint and
authority. This lesson should bs
taught largely and constantly. The
father is the parent best fitted by ma.
ture and training to impress this les
son upon the children.
1T is the divine order. God first gave
the law with its stern thou shall
and thou shalt not. Then followed
the gospel. with its tender persua
