the Central of Georgia railroad. Pas

brought here slightly injured, declared
that his orders were for clear track
with twenty-five minutes to get into
the Columbus yards. The passenger
train, he said, had orders to take a
siding.

Cleaninu ace.

! Lace that is too delicate to be wash
ed in the usual way can be cleaned in
this way: Make strong soapsuds Of
some good soap and allow the lace to
remain in it for several hours at least,
although it is well to shake it out oc-
casionally: A wide mouthed bottle is
most convenient to handle. When the
lace is thoroughly soaked let the soapy
water out of the bottle and keep add
ing clean water until the soap has all
been removed from the lace. Do not
handle the lace at all; shaking the bot
tie will rinse it thoroughly.
If the lace is narrow wind it round a
bottle that has been covered with a
piece of soft flannel, and do not re-
move it until it is dry. If it is toe
wide to care for in that way dry it on
large cushion. First cover the cush
ion with heavy towel, then pin the
points of the lace in place and allow it
to dry. 1t is better not to use steel
pins on account of the danger from
rust. When dry the lace will look like

ASKED TO REVERSE ITSELF
Attorney General Requests High Court
to Rehear Compensation Case.

MADISON, WIS. = In a brief
filed by Attorney General Walter c..
Owen, the supreme court is asked to
reverse itself. Last month the court,
in an opinion written by Justice Mar
shall, in the case of Clarence Foth, a
minor, against a Kenosha manufacture
er, construed several words in the
workmen's compensation act in such
a way as to seriously hamper the state
in enforcing it's well known policy Of
restricting child labor and the indus
trial exploitation of minors.
The Industrial commission, which
administers the child labor laws and
the workmen's compensation law,
viewed the courts recent opinion with
such grave foreboding that it request
the attorney general to ask a rehear-
ing of the case.
