How To Wash Blankets.

The coming of warmer weather mean:
the shedding of all winter fannels ane
half the heavy bedding. These summer
nights are too warm for many bedcovers
so if there are one or two light blankets
left on the bed the rest can be removed
and stored away for the summer.
BY the middle of May, says the Irish
World, all these heavy wool coverings
should be thoroughly clean and put in
trunks until next autumn.
Every housewife has different way
of treating her blankets and flannels for
the spring cleaning. Some send them to
the steam laundrics to be washed, some
send them to the cleaners to be cleaned,
and others have them done at home.
Sending all the blankets to cleaners
is rather expensive proposition for a
woman in moderate means. Many wom-
en- do not care to have their bedclothes
mixed in with all sorts and conditions of
clothes in a public laundry. For the
housewives who have these sentiments
on the subjects of steam laundries and
have not the financial means to send their
blankets to the dry cleaners only one
thing remains-to have the work done
at home.
There is no reason why the blankets
washed at home should not come out as
clean and fresh as new If they are prop
erly done. However, the wool must not
be rubbed, and it is better not to use
soap, for rubbing stretches the weave of
the blanket and soapsuds almost never
come out entirely, causing the blanket
In many cases to shrink. IT. however,
the housewife will give her laundress
the following instructions, the blankets
should come out beautifully:
A half pint of household ammonia
should be poured into tub and blan
ket laid over it. Lukewarm water should |
be run onto this at once. The water |
will send the fumes of the ammonia /
through the wool, and this will loosen all
the dirt Then the blanket should be
stirred about with long stick, pressing
il against the sides of the tub until all
the dirt seems TO have run into the wa
ter. Then the blanket should be plunged
into another tub of clear water OF the
same temperature as the first, then il
should be run lightly through wringer.
The blankets should be hung in plenty
81 sunshine and plenty of wind to dry.

Reversal of Ruling Would
Make Pittsburger I'm
sane in New York
WOULD FORFEIT BAIL
AND BE A FUGITIVE
Hendrick Won't Comment
on Foreman's Remarks
Jurors at Odds

New York, July 20.--New York STATE
will fight to put Harry X. Thaw in thu
same status in regard to his sanity al
that OF John Armstrong Chaloner, au
thor of the famous quip, who's loony
now ~ Chaloner is sane" in Virginia
but insane" in this state.
To attain this result, the state legal
department viii strain every point to
obtain a reversal of Justice Hendrick' g
findings declaring Thaw sane. Two
means of achieving this result are seen.
One would be by decision of the court
of appeals, holding that the trial of
Thaw's sanity with an advisory juror
was in itself an illegal procedure. Such
a decision would nulIify the entire pro-
eeedings before Justice Hendrck, inelud-
ing the fixing of Thaw's s35 900 bail.
A second way would be by obtaining
a reversal of Justice Hendricks ruling
by a higher court. This would make
ludW fugitive from justice Win lOf-
fixture of his bail, in case he refused to
return and continue his battle with the
courts.
The last procedure, il was said, was
likely to be favored by the state author
tiles. Advices from Albany yesterday
told of a conference between Attorney
General Woodbury. and Deputy Attor-
ney General Becker who represented the
state in the recent Thaw trial, in regard
to statements reported to have been
made by David Robinson, foreman of
the advisory jury which declared Thaw
sane, TO the effect that the verdict of the
jury was based upon the natural" or
law.
IL was said that Attorney General
Woodburys action in the matter will
hinge upon an investigation of the cir.
surrounding the making of
the statements and their effect, if any, |
upon the pending appeal. Deputy Attor-
ney-General Becker was detailed to look |
into the matter.

Unwritten Law Repudiated by Thsw
Jurymen.

New York, July 20.--The Thaw case
thought dead, has come to life again. A
newspaper interview with David Rob,
inson, foreman Of the jury that found
Ihaw sane, may be the basis for new
action on the part of the state.
Seen in the Atlantic City hotel. where
Thaw was staying, Robinson told report
ers the jury has disregsrded that part OF
Justice Hendricks charge in which he
said the jury must construct their yer.
dict on the basis that Thaw was insane
at the time he killed Stanford White.
The jury, said Robinson. had never con-
sidered its verdict on the theory that
Thaw was justified in shooting the archi.
tect.
Robinson's statements were hotly re.
pudiated by other members of the Jury
The 'unwritten law" they said had new.
er been considered by the jury in it's
deliberation Of the case, and Robinson
was termed by them as a publicity
seeker"
