eIve Home ths nonce over,

Now is not too late to look over the
house and see what is necessary to
repair the ravages of the summer
sun and dust. 1t is good idea to
clean the glass over pictures with a
cloth wrung from hot water and
dipped in alcohol. Polish them imme-
diately until they are dry and glossy
with chamois or tissue paper.
Rub leather chairs with a little
fresh milk to prevent cracks in the
leather DO this about once a week.
Whiting spread on a damp flannel
cloth will remove all spots from
painted wood without hurting the sur
face and without firing the arm which
applies it.
Often when a house has been closed
all summer the iron sink becomes
rusty. 1t can be cleaned with mutton
tallow. Cover the tallow with quick
lime and leave it on over night. The
lime and tallow should then be rubbed
off with an old sink broom and the
sink should then be washed with hot
soda water. The liNe should not be
allowed to touch the hands.

BURNING AFTER SIXTY YEARS
Now One Million Dollars Will Be Spent
in Endeavor to Put Out Coal
Mine Blaze.

Engineers of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation company are making her
culean efforts to extinguish the fire
which has been burning for so years
in coal mine at summit Hill, Pa
Seven mine locomotives and three
steam shovels are in operation and a
large force Of men is at work driving
deep holes into the earth, into which
culm and water are being sluiced
Millions of gallons of water are be-
Ing pumped daily into crevices and
holes, and the issuance of steam indi-
Gates that the fire is burning in spots
which had long been considered
burned out.
The gigantic effort the company is
making to extinguish the fire for ell
time will probably cost $1,000,0O0, but
tllat sum is Insignificant when com
pared with the damage the fire would
do if it should spread into the val
ley and ignite the mammoth veins run
ming throughout the Panther Greek
valley. The fire had its origin direct
ly west of Summit Hill, and was
caused, it is believed, by forest fires.
The flames have been gradually
spreading westward, and have de-
stroyed millions of dollars worth Of
coal.

FOUGHT DUEL IN THE AIR
German and British Aviators Engage
In Struggle Which Results in De-
struction of One Participant.

4 A thrilling spectacle took place the
other day on the French frontier when
a German aeroplane passed overhead
spying out the land. First there was
a rapid fire of the antiair-craft guns,
and though the white puns OF the
shells seemed to encifcle it, they ap-
peared to be doing no harm. Then
the German airman caught sight OF
q British aeroplane and Immediately
started in hot pursuit of it,
Another British aeroplane which
was returning from a scouting tour
over the German lines, dropped out
of the white clouds, as if by magic.
But being above the German plane, its
presence was not perceived until it
was quite close. Then began a sensa-
tional battle. For fear OF innring
their own machines, the soldiers
stopped the fire from the antiaircraft
guns. Left to themselves, the two
crafts circled and recircled round each
other. the British aeroplane rushing
in sometimes and then darting away
again. while the machine guns kept
up rapid firing. Suddenly the Ger
man plane dropped with an abrupt,
twisting drive. For thousand feet or
more it fell, helplessly. Then, as if
the aeronaut had made frantic effort
to adjust his levers, the machine
Strengthened out for a second or two.
The British plane followed the Ger.
man in its fall, in graceful spiral
curves, and when it righted, opened
renewed fire upon it, A burst of white
smoke from the German aeroplane an
nounced the explosion Of the petrol
tank. The body of the German ma
chine crashed to the earth. Its heavy
four-cylinder engine embedded itself
in the ground, its wings and body
shattered into splinters, and its steel
stays bent and twisted, lay scattered
about.

Facts About Concrete.

Tests made in the engineering lab
oratory of The Sheffield scientific
school, Yale university, using 1924
concrete mixtures, with varying per
eentages of water, showed that con-
crete with 2715 per cent Of water was
stronger at the end of 80 days than
mixtures in which other percentages
had been used. These experiments
indicate that, contrary to the general
belief, there is definite limit to the
amount of water that should be used
and that that limit is considerably
lower than the percentage used in a
large amount of concrete construc-
ton.

Two large manufacturing plants at
Bayonne. in New Jersey, which en-

words. If, when hired, man does not

ARK ANSAS BANNER STATE OF
 UNION FOR FINE WHETSTONE

Little Rock, Dec 5.-The people of Arkansas boast loud and long about the resources of the state, then permit people of the North and East to come into the state and reap the rich re- wards that should be retained at home.
 A striking instance of this has been brought to light by Commissioner John II. Page. Wm. E. Long X Son own a quarry of novaculite on the Niemeyer road, about twenty miles west of Little Rock. It is cut into ir- regular shapes just as it is blasted from the quarry, and they received S35 ton for it f. O. b. It is shipped to the Pike Mfg. Go. at Pike, N. H., where it is manufactured and sold as the Ouachita Whetstone of commerce. Much of the finished product is shipped back to Arkansas, where it is sold at 20 cents a pound, or about $400 ton.
 Arkansas produces more whetstone, and finer quality, than any other state in the Unoin.

Washington. Dec 5.-Judge Will liam F. Kirby was sworn in today as United States senator from Arkansas to fill the uneXpired term of the late Senator James r. Clarke. The cere- mony was delayed a few minutes by a motion offered by Senator Reed of Missouri to refer the credentials of the senators-eect to the Committee on Privileges and Election, as two Republican senators-elect appeared to receive the oath besides Kirby.

 The motion was voted down and Judge Kirby, escorted to the vice pres ident's desk by Senator Joe T. Robin son, subscribed to the customary oath, becoming hte twenty-ffth senator from the state to qualify since Ar kansas was admitted to the Union. Senator Clarke, whom he succeeded, was the sixteenth.
 The new senator was assigned of fees in suite 331, formerly occupied by Senators Davis, Heiskell, Kava- naugh and Robinson. He will receive no committee assignments until the meeting of the Democratic caucus scheduled for the last of the week.

 Except in South Carolina, cotton seems to be practically all harvested. In the Carolina's general killing frost came on the fifteenth, sixteenth in the main cotton areas; late cotton had matured very satisfactorily and top bolls caught by the breeze are in such condition that many will open. Over the bulk of the cotton belt scarcely any cotton remained subject to injury when the severe cold weather came.
 Cold weather damaged sweet pota- toes in Mississippi and Louisiana and white potatoes in Louisiana. Freez- ing weather severely injured truck in practically all southern states, but most truck escaped in the warmer DOT tion.
