Cleaning Aviation Caps

T do not like writing to ask you to re. print, as realize our Corner is not hal. | big enough now, but I am badly in need l of directions for cleaning aviation caps 1 recall reading the directions, but I have forgotten the exact proposition. It calls for salt and flour mixed and rubbing into
 the cap. then letting il stand for days. inclose a recipe for sour milk cake that has proved a welcome change from other spice cakes as there are no raisins in it, and it is baked in layers. For this cake use brown sugar in the cream icing and white sugar for a white cake. My hus- band calls the cake a dandy. One cup of sugar. one cup of sour milk, half cup of shortening, one teaspoon of soda, cloves and cinnamon to taste. and flour enough to mix stiff Bake in layers Cream icing One cup of sugar, five tablespoons of sweet cream, Boil until it forms a waxy
 ball ineold water Stir until it is smooth quickly on the cake. I. A. B.. l do not think aviation caps have ever been mentioned in the Corner. but worsted garments of all kinds-knitted or crocheted-may be c1eansed in a basin of salted eornmeal, allowing a cup of salt to four quarts of meal. Go through the mo- tions of washing, rubbing every thread faithfully. When you have gone over every stitch throw away the soiled meal, fill the basin with clean, and bury the garment for three days in the mixture. Thanks for the recipe.
