ECONOMY IN USE OF LINEN
Sensible Method Employed by One
Woman Is Worth Copying by
Every Housewife.

Before buying a new supply Of
linens and bedding it is a good idea
to go over the supply already on hand
and see just what is needed. Some
times worn linens may be cut down
and old sheets may be turned and
made to last little while longer. One
economical woman remarked:
Before taking advantage Of these
linen sales I go thoroughly over my
own linen closet. Worn tablecloths
are cut into small lunch cloths, and
the ends, when hemmed, make attrac-
tive tray cloths. Square napkins,
which have become ragged at the
edges, can be cut into circular doilies
and buttonholed or neatly hemmed
around the edges to serve as luncheon
doilies. The sheets that are worn In
the middle tear In two and put to-
gether the reverse way, thus bringing
q new surface to stand the heaviest
wear, or I cut down a large sheet for
a crib sheet and use the leftover
portion for a pillow case. Bath towels
that have become worn / cut up and
sew neatly into new face cloths. BY
looking my linen over carefully In
this way know more accurately what
I need, and am better prepared to lay
In a new supply"

BROUGHT ACTION TO AN END
Appearance of the Deceased" In
Chaneery Court Blow to Army
OF Lawyers.

1t was a suit in chancery, and there
was a great gathering of the de-
ceased's family, quarreling, as rela-
tives will, over the division of the
spoils. The lawyers engaged chuckled,
for the suit seemed likely to be pro-
longed and complicated.
There were many lawyers, too, and
the Judge marveled at the immensely

PRODUCING themselves with the usual
formula: "And l, my lord, am for the
nephews, or nieces, or fifteenth cousins
removed as the case may be, of the
deceased" The procession seemed in
terminable, but at last it came to an
end. Then small voice was heard
timidly saying from the back of the
court, MAY / be allowed to speak, my
lord?"
There was dead silence as his lord
ship adjusted his spectacles and asked,
rather dejectedly, who are your"
The answer was, to say the least,
unexpecteA.
81 am the deceased, my lord" said
the modest voice from the back of the
court. That ended the action.
Quite unknown to his relatives, the

wilds Of Rhodesia. Obviously a man
Of humor, he must have taken a de-
light in watching how "the best-laid

To Launder Wooden Garments.

To clean blankets or Atwood gar
ments, shave up half bar of any good
laundry soap, add four tablespoonfuls
of borax and little water, and melt
over the fire. Then add four table
spoonfuls of household ammonia, put
in the tub and half fill the tub with
cold water. Enter the articles to be
cleaned, and let soak four hours. Then
rinse in water containing four table
spoonfuls Of ammonia. Do not wiring.
The article will be just like new and

net. IN covering the octagon shape
the work can be lessened and the ef-
feet improved if lace dolly is bought
for the top of the cover. The band Of
lace is first put around the sides and
firmly secured to the wires. Then if
a tiny hole is made in the center of
the dolly for the ring to pass through
few stitches will keep the top in
place.
If all-over lace is used the top is
made first and sewed to the wires
Then the band is added.

New Small Hats.

A little very close-fitting hat Is more
like the old pork-pie shape and has the
usual cluster of pompons, but very
small, and set on the outside of the
brim, not above il. Another more be-
coming shape is that of twisted tur-
ban In effect, but higher in the crown
than those that we're in vogue not so
long ago. A third, prettiest of all, is
just like a fat strawberry basket, and
appears at first sight to be of drab
straw, but proves to be woven Of
strips of cloth. This Is trimmed with
black cloth cherries.

Bridge and the operation OF the Long
Island Railroad trains to Pennsylvania
Station the number Of passengers en-
tering and leaving the old Long Island
City station of the Long Island Rail-
road decreased from $3.50, 900 in 1910
to All 900 in 1914. With the opening
Of the Stenway tunnel and the estab-
lishment Of local train service the Hun
tcrs Point section will be given a great
stimulus in it's development and renew
its former activities.
The operation Of the tunnel at pres
ent will be 10 the station on AID st,
between Third and Lexington avs. At
that point passengers will come 10 the
street level by means of an escalator
and be required to walk a distance OF
some 900 feet through the congested
traffic at 42d ST. to reach the nearest
entrance of the present subway, be-
tween Vanderbilt and Madison avs,
where, with transfer given them upon
leaving the Stenway tunnel, they are
entitled to re-enter the subway and
continue their ride.
To remedy this situation the Queens
Chamber of Commerce, which is inter
ested in the utilization of the tunnel
70 it's fullest efficiency, had plan pre-
pared which would permit the Steinway
tunnel trains to continue west as far as
Park av., at which point elevators are
to be constructed directly in front Of
the main entrance of the Grand Central
Terminal. These elevators would bring
the passengers from the Steinway tun-
mel level to an underground passageway
connecting with the present platforms
AZ the Grand Central subway station.
This would provide an underground
massage. reduce by 500 feet the distance
required for passengers 10 walk and do
away with the inconvenience OF carry
ing transfers. This construction work
if started now could be ready by June,
1916, and thus save eighteen TO twenty
four months Of inconvenience to the
travelling public, as the diagonal sta
ton which is now under construction
at that point will not be completed, It
is estimated. in at least two and half
or three years time.
The trip from 42d ST. and Third av. to
Jackson av., Long Island City will not
occupy over five minutes, or less time
than it now takes to go from Park Row
to Borough Hall, Brooklyn. The first
station in Long Island City is almost
in front Of the Queens Borough Hall.
A further ride OF about minute Will
bring passengers to the Hunters Point
av station. the last underground sta
ton i'm Queens, from which point
covered passageway will lead to the
Long Island Railroad station, so that
quick and convenient connection may
be made with trains of the latter road,
enabling passengers TO reach Jamaica

BY WALTER I. WILLIS.
Secretary Chamber of Commerce OF the
Borough of Queens.

Assurances have been given by Frank
7. Hsdley, general manager Of the In
terborough Rapid Transit Company
and Edward f. Mccall, chairman OF the
Public Service Commission, that on
Tuesday, June %, the Queens Subway
lthe name which the Queens business
interests have given the Steinway tun-
neD will be opened for the operation
Of shuttle service from 42d 81 and Lex
ington av., in Manhattan, to Hunters
Point av. and Van Alst ST., Long Island
City.
The operation Of this first rapid
transit line from Manhattan to Queens
Borough will be but the first step OF
many ether transit Improvements for
the borough that are now under con-
struction. but il marks the initial step
in putting Queens on the transit map
of New York City. for with transit ia
cilities equal TO those Of every other
part Of the city, nothing can hold back
its great Development The business
men throughout Queens Borough have
long waited for this evcntful day, as
the construction Of the tunnel was COM
pleted in October. 1907, but for one
reason after another operation has been
delayed. Plans are now being prepared
by the Chamber of Commerce of the
Borough of Queens in cooperation with
the Public Service Commission and the
lnterborough Rapid Transit Company
for fitting ceremonies when the first
train Of cars is run through the tunnel.
The immediate benefit Of the opera
tion of the tunnel will be to place Long
Island, particularly, and the Borough
of Queens, generally. on the rapid
transit map of New York City lmme-
diate facilities will thus be provided for
the transportation of the several thou
sands of factory operatives OF the many
big industries located in Long Island
City adjacent to the mouth of the tun-
mel. In this vicinity new factory build
ings estimated to cost S1O,000000, and
with 10000 new employees, have been
completed in the last two years
The benefit OF the operation Of the
Steinway tunnel will extend, moreover.
to every part Of the Borough of Queens,
for al the present Long Island City ter
minal at Hunters Point av. the Long
Island Railroad has established a new
local station, so that passengers coming
from New York can make connections
at that point with the electric
trains and be carried to every
part of Queens traversed by the tracks

operation at the Atlantic av. station of
the Long Island Railroad in Brooklyn.
At Atlantic av.. the Brooklyn connec--

the Long Island Railroad more subway
tickets are sold than at any other sta
ton on the subway. During 1914 there
were 1864 900 passengers on the Long

the Atlantic av. station.

THE PUSHCART PROBLEM
Borough President Marks An
nounces Adoption of Plans.

Borough President Marks announced
Yesterday the final adoption of plans
for solving the pushcart problem in
the Borough of Manhattan. Il is pro-
posed to utilize the recently legaIized
market under the Manhattan Bridge
for this purpose. and it is intended to
erect one hundred or more model, san
itary. iron and metal stands. with stor-
age space underneath, so constructed
that they can be easily cleaned.
The market under Manhattan Bridge,
said President Marks, is admirably
suited for this purpose, being in the
midst of a densely populated district,
and meets with the approval o. the
Superintendent of Markets and Con-
troller Prendergast. 1t is believed that
this beginning at Manhattan Bridge
will solve problem which has
given the administration considerable
trouble.
