WHEN GLOVES ARE WASHED
Successful Method Is Easy, Though
There Are Two Secrets to Be
Remembered.

Two secrets enter into the success.
full washing Of chamois and doeskin
gloves. One is the using of water that
is not too warm, that is either luke
warm or cool, it is better to be a few
degrees too cool than too warm, and
the other Is the use of soapy water for
both cleansing and rinsing. II the
water is not too warm to be perfectly
comfortable for the hands and q plen-
tiful amount of soap is used to make
good suds for cleansing and rinsing,
the gloves should be as silky and soft
as one would desire.
II they have become badly soiled It
may require more than one bath to
entirely remove the dirt, but after they
are cleansed they should be we'll
rinsed in another bath Of soapy wa
ter, Of the same temperature as the
previous waters. The soap and water
should then be pressed out as nearly
as possible, by squeezing in a thick
towel. Then they should be hung in
a shady place. but never in the sun or
near the stove, as this will not permit
Of their being soft and silky.

IMITATION FURS AND CLOTHS
Coats Of ServiceabIe Sorts Much I'm.
proved by the Form Of Decora-
tlon Thus Made.

Plain and brocaded pushes and vel.
vets and velours are employed for
many purposes. Plain plush is used
for practical coats Of the serviceable
sort, while the brocaded effects are
used for dressier garments. Matelasse
or striped velvets and velveteens
printed in simple shaded stripes In
imitation Of corduroys are a new
fancy.
Coats Of velvet, plush or pile fabric
have cutaway effect. The fronts are
widely wrapped and fasten with a sin
gle large ornament or a fancy button.
Collars are quite large, and mostly Of
the shawl variety, though some are
made to button high. Sleeves of prac-
tical garments In these materials are
the regulation type, set In at the arm
hole. Those In dressy coats are in the
mandarin style, and some are quite
extreme.
Colors in pile fabrics for coats are
mostly black, though taupe Is well
liked. Several shades of blue and beau
tiful golden tans are smart. There are
also some striking designs in two
toned stripes and brocaded patterns.

u. S, MANUFACTURES
HIGH RECORD IN 1912

The manufacturers Of the United
States seem to have made their high
est record in 1912. While the census
records Of manufacturers produced
are taken only at qu~inquennia1 pc
RODS, ar approximation as to activ1-
ties in other may be had through
a measurement Of the raw materials
used in the leading industries. In
many Of these industries a large pro-
portion of the raw materials are
sured as they pass through the
custom houses and in this class Of
manufactures, at least, the general
activities nay be appropriated by
this method. In addition to this the
movements Of certain Of the domestic
materials used in manufacturing can
be readily traced. These two methods
of measurement seem TO indicate that
the manufacturing industries of the
country made, in 1912, their highest
record. In practically all articles i'm
ported for use in manufacturing the
quantities entering the country in
1912 were reate than ever before,
the movements Of iron ore on the
Great Lakes are reported as larger
than in any earlier ear, and in move
ments Of other domestic products to-
ward the factory the records also in
dicate extraordinary activity in 1912.
ImpOrtatiOns Of practically all the
chief materials brought into the coun-
try for use in manufacturing show
larger totals in 1912 than ever before.

the mother and two other children III
the family were similarly constituted.
The case Of c~hickenpox was Of such
a virulent nature that a more than
ordinary examination was called for.
While inspecting the chest Of the
child the doctor made a startling dis

right side. DR.. Morgenstern could
scarcely credit his own faculties when
a moment later he found another
heart beating on the left side.

He asked permission to examine the
other children, and found the same
phenomenon. Mrs. Perkins at first

herself, but finally consented to il.
