CLEAN LACE AT HOME
NOT NECESSARY TO SEND FAB

Simple Fundamental Rules Kept In

Sunshine and Fresh Air the
Two Main Requisites.

In this day when lace is In its ele-
ment the professional cleaners must
be reaping a fortune simply from the
lace frocks and blouses. petticoats:
hats and neckwear that are brought
to them TO be made spotless. For
most women are afraid of lace. They
will tackle gloves and shoes. velvet.
silk and chiffon whit q will, but they
balk at lace.
In reality lace is no more difficult
to clean than any other fabric, IL you
know how to do 1t. But. of course, to
be successful as a lace cleaner you
must take the trouble to learn some
thing about the various methods of
cleaning and drying.

blouses and frocks, can be washed and
dried and lroned just like any other
cotton fabric. II should be carefully
ironed. of course, so that It will not

The secret of washing lace success

dust and CRIME out OF II with as little
rubbing as possible. First shake the
lace in the open air and give 1t
bath In the sunshine. Sunshine, by
the way. and fresh air are friends Of
lace, just as dust and darkness are It's
worst enemies. Then, after summing
and airing It. soak IL In lukevsrm
soapsuds. For this suds dissolve shav-

are the government control provision,

JEALOUSY MOTIVE
IN AUTO SLAYINC
Gus Penman Now Believed to
Have Killed Harold Shaw
Because of a Girl.

Champaign, ILL.,, Aug. 22.-Jealousy
over a girl whose love he had lost, but
whose reRatation he was makisg an
effort to shield, is now believed to
have been the motive which drove
Gust Penman to murder Harold Shaw.
the University of Illinois student, near
Philo 10 days ago.
The two young men, both sons of
wealthy families, went driving in
Shawis racing automobile, and the mo-
tive for the murder was at first be-
lieved to have been Penman's uncon.
trollable desire to own the machine.
The line of defense which is being
planned by Penman's attorneys, how
ever, indicates that the crime grew
out of rivalry for a girls love, and
that when the trial begins the defense
will seek to prove that young Shaw
had married a girl several years ago,
and that when Penman found it out
he tried TO protect the girl when Shaw
had failed to make the marriage pub.
lie and sought to repudiate it.
The identity of the girl has not been
revealed. One version of the story is
| that young Shaw married her at Villa
Grove under an assumed name. The
county clerk of Douglas county, how
ever, stated last night thet no record
of Shaw's marriage could be found
and that if the boy married at Villa
Grove the license must have been
| taken out more than three years ago
| and under another name.
The fact that papers Shaw was
| known to have had i'll his pockets are
missing has added mystery to the
/ case. Penman, when he was cap
/ tured two days after the murder, and
| after he had fled to Danville in mis-
victims car, admitted that he had
taken the papers, particularly a lea;h
er-bound notebook, from Shaw's pock
cts. After talking to his counsel, how,
ever, the prisoner repudiated his first
confession, and declared that he hao
taken nothing from the murdered
mans clothes.
1t is the theory now that the note
book contained a record of some sort
by which the girl for whom the mer
we're rival suitors was involved.
! Members of Shaw's family declare
that if any such defense is advanced
by Penman's attorneys it will be easil,
disproved. Penman's parents, who a
first refused 10 concern themselves
with his troubles, have now rallied t.
his defense, presumably reconciled t.
their sons crime by the story upol
which he will fight for his life.
