Protector for Kitchen Sink

Every housewife who has had the
trouble of cleaning out her kitchen sink,
after half hour or more spent in dish
washing, will appreciate the now rink
protecting dish pan.
It is made of what Is called copper
bearing tin plate" new arrival in the
metal world. The steel under the tin
coating has copper amalgamated with It,
making the finished tin plato practically
rust proof The pan fits snugly into the
sink, without moving at all while the
dishes are being washed in 1t. The great
advantage of this Is that the water will
not be spilled around, either.
Two very good innovations further add
to the efficiency of this pan. It has an
outlet in the centre as in a bathtub or
washstand, and under this is a little
strainer drawer of rustless mesh. This
is to catch all heavy greases or particles
from the dish water. 1t removes the un.
fortunate scraplng process; you simply
pull out the little drawer. empty and
clean 1t. Your lovely porcelain sink
can't be marred by this pan, as with the
ordinary dishpan, for II has rubber legs
which protect tho sink
The pans come in two sizes. the fam
fly size, 13x19 inches. and the apartment
house size, measuring 11x17 inches. Both
cost S1,50. They are put together in
sanitary manner and with proper care
will last indefinitely.

I believe II is in Texas that the length
OF hotel bed sheets Is regulated by law
Certainly boarders in other cities ana
perhaps guests in our own home may
wish that there were legal requirements
in other States as 10 standard sizes Of
bed linen. II ls certainly true that In
many homes no two sheets have the
same area and one pillow is not like
unto another
Are there standard sizes in sheets,
pillow cases and linens7 Yes. The most
commonly used bed is the three-duarter,
frequently mistaken for single size
Another common size OF bed Is the twin
bed, increasingly gaining in favor. In
either case a sheet should be 30 inches
wider than the mattress; so IL the ma

The yardstick revealed the fact that
the modern bed varies from six feet
four to six feet six inches-a good bit
longer by the way, than the old fash
ioned bed. There are two standard
lengths of sheets when finished, viz, 81
inches and l0l inches. This gives another

Is essential both from tho comfort and
the sanitary point of view, as short
sheets allow the mattress TO become ex-
posed and hence soiled. Just as in the
width of the sheet we should allow an
excess of 30 inches, or 10 on a side, SO
in the length of the sheet we should
allow "a or 80 inches of material in excess
of the actual length OF the mattress.

How to Wash a Silk Blouse

When washing a silk blouse first place
the blouse to be washed in clear cold
water, and allow It to stand for 10 min
utes. This loosens the dirt without much
rubbing. After this. wash 1t In clear,
iukewarm water with little soap, and
wiring as dry as possible. Now, take a
little gelatine and add some hot water in
order to melt It, Then put the blouse
into the solution, wiring out and iron the
blouse at once, The gelatine gives the
blouse inner gloss and stlffens the silk
a little, thus making the blouse look like
new. The gelatine has the advantage
over starch. as 1t can be ussd for colored
silk biouses without fear OF the color
being lost, as when little starch is used.

Motion Pictures Show That
Yale Was Two Feet Back
When Line Was Crossed.

BOSTON, June 24.-The belief that
Harvard and not Yale won the varsity
eight Dared race on the Thames last
Friday is stronger than ever today.
This conviction is brought about
by the first production of the
moving pictures made of the race
at New London, which seem TO
show that Harvard crossed the fin
ish mark two feet ahead of the Yale
she'll These pictures were taken from
a longside the judges boat. a posi-
ton from which an accurate view of
the finish could be had. Coach James
Wray is highly elated with the result
OF the pictures, as are others associat-
ed with the Harvard crews
