USEFUL OLD CLOTHES
ny FRANCES MARSHALL,


The day has gone by when every
scrap OF old muslin or linen must bo
saved for bandagcs or lint. Even In
time OF war, nowadays. modern anti
septic surgical dressings are found
cheaper and safer than those donated
by the thrifty housewife.
But there are still many uses for
old clothes. even for scraps of old
linen and cotton material.
To begin with. III there is any chance
that you viii do any travelling. save
old umbrellas, OF any description. un-
TIL that time They can be carried with
you and thrown away eli route az
soon as they are hopeicssly worn Thus
your baggage will be continually
lightencd. so that purchases can he ac-
commodatcd Moreover, the various
treatments received at laundrios dur
Ing tho course OF n journey are enough
TO wear out even tho stoutest-heartod
underwear. 1t is tar better that old
underwear rather than new be sub
jectcd to their methods
WOODEN cloths are the best for clean
ing metal of any kind Hence any old
flannel clothes should be washed and
cut into neat squares and oblongs for
metal cleaning.
Old knitted underwear can be cut
into suitable pieces and used for clca n
ing cloths. Mop cloths. noor cloths and
stove polishing cloths can all be made
Of heavy knitted underwear.
Gauze underwear can he cut into neat
squares and used for dust cloths 1t
is really the best material for dust
cloths that can be found
Highly polished furniture can be
best busted with soft silk or crepe
dc chine cloth. So an old silk or crepe
dc chine frock can be washed and cut
into moderately large dustcloths which
may be catstitched or hemmed by ma
chine.

| That boys will be boys is an adage as
old as the hills, although the application
is capable of a double construction like
many of the wise sayings that have
come down the steps of time For years
and wears past men have been accus-
toned TO boss the boys on. eyerp OPP
portunity and in every walk of life, and
there are many notable instances of boy
ish rebellion against adult authority.
Recently there has been a rebellion
against adult authority among the boys
who attended the Sunday schools in the
birmingham district; but. different from
those of the past. it was conceived in
peace and carried out with the hearty
consent of the adults It was nothing
more than movement of boys to help
bo%s TO better life and the plan for
lnulated is proving a success beyond the
fondest hopes thus far
In the organization of the Older
Boys council of the Birmingham sun
day School association a new era in
sunday school work has been inaugu-
rated Not only has the council of
elder boys pledged themselves to enlist
the sympathies of their boyish asso-
ciates in the Sunday school, but they
have established a standard for the
men who. teach Sunday school-the
council insisting that the teachers OF
the older boys be men--and have out
lined the following as ideal teacher:
1. A Christian gentleman .. Musl
know how to work with boys. 8. A
total abstainer from intoxicants and
tobacco. 4. Must have convictions and
express them. 5. Must know boys in
their everyday life and take a part
in their activities. Ohis boy all
ovor) Show no favortism. I. Must
lie present on time at every meeting
s. His purpose shall be to win boys for
Christ"
a pretty high standard the boys have
set for the man who undertakes to
teach them, but no one is quicker to
discern than boy if man has the
true ring
The Older Boys council of the Bfr-
mingham district has the distinction of
being the first council to be organized
In the south, and is interdenominational
in It's character. 1t is part of the great
international Sunday school movement
but is locally self-goYerned. 1t strives
to train the older boys to reach and
lead the younger boys in the path of
right living and aims to eventually
reach all the boys of teen" age in
the city. The motto is characteristic,
and is dig in" The council song is
birmingham for Christ" the watch
words are inspection, information,
comparison and cooperation
The membership is strictly confined
to teen age boys. not less than IL
or more than 20 years of age. There
are 81 Sunday schools enrolled who
have members in the council. The city
is divided in ? districts with a resi-
dent chairman for each district.
The officers of the council and chair
men of the several districts are: Harvey
Branscomb, president; Fulton Seelbin-
der, vice president William Barrow,
secretary, and Forrest Kimball treas
