"DIckIE" DAVIS CLASSIC
PICTURE OF GERMAN ARMY

From the ST. Paul Pioneer Press.
Richard Harding Davis, who died last
week. was among the frs, correspondents
to go to Europe at the outbreak of the
great war, and his description of the gray
wave OF the German army as it passed
through Brussels, has become a classic.
The article was printed in the Pioneer
Press of August "a, 1914. A part of II fol-
lows:

SO the laundress who would turn
forth bright colors must take extra
care. and she will be wise if she tries
the special methods for preserving and
setting different colors described be-
low:
For blue. which is a fast color if
properly treated, dissolve a tablespoon
full of alum in two gallons Of cold wa
ter and add half n %teacupful of vinegar.
; For lavender, dissolve a tablespoon
full of sugar of lead in two gallons of
cold water.
For pink and green and black, dis
solve half a cupful of salt in two quarts
of water.
For red. dissolve a ~teaspoonful Of
vit-iol in two gallons of cold water.
Soa the garments in these various
solutions for several hours.
When it comes to washing, have
ready a paste, made by dissolving pure
soap in boiling water. Use this instead
Of cake soap. Add the paste to warm
water and wash the garments quickly.

that they can be ironed without sprin-

FAST c oLoRs.

paper Syndicate.)
Spring is here, and with it all the
problems of the summer laundry.
1t is difficult enough, perhaps, to
wash woolens without shrinkage, but
1T is surely more difficult to wash cot
tons without fading.
This is a s@.nmer of colored wash
fabrics. Crepe n wolfe in figures are
in fashion, and %organdie. covered with
colored flowers and fruits, is also in
high fashion. These fabrics, of course.
must be washed, and they must be
washed without being allowed to fade.
There are several methods of setting
colors. Some persons find success in
soaking new garments, before they are
washed, in turpentine for several hours.
Others soak the garments in salt wa
ter-two cupfuls of salt to six quarts
of water.
In these days when the dye situation
has created n really critical condition
in the fabric world, we can hardly ex-
pect colors to be even as fast as usual.
We are new at making dyes, and as
vet we have not mastered the task.
Most of the dyes used this summer are
inferior, and it is only fair to expect

johnnie MOUSE.

Copyright, 1916, by the cClur News
paper Syndicate)
johnnie Mouse wanted to be a
sailor.
But Johnnie's Mouse's mother did
not want him to be a sailor. She told
nm he would be very sick in the first
place, and then if there happened to be
a cat aboard the ship he would not
nave a chance to get away as he could
on land.
But Johnnie Mouse would not listen
10 MS mothers advice. So one night
when his mother and father We're out
hunting cheese n other good things
10 eat, john Mouse tied up his best
clothes in a b%andanna handkerchief
ana tied 1T on the end of a stick and
put the stick over his shoulder just as
ne had seen pictures of boys who ran
away to sea.
But 1T took him a long time to find
a ship and he had very little to eat
on the way, so that when he came to
the place where there was a big ship
ready to sail Johnnie Mouse was tired
and hungry. and he had grown pretty
thin, too.
Johnnie Mouse was climbing care
fully up the side of the ship when he
chanced to look up, and there right
over him We're two big green eyes look
ing steadily at him.
johnnie Mouse was frightened, for he
knew those eyes belonged to none other
than n cat, so he did not wait to walk
or run: he jumped and fell right into
the water.
BUT he was lucky enough to land on
a piece of wood not Very large. but it
held Johnnie Mouse, and away it sailed

sitting on it.
"Ho, no." thought Johnnie Mouse,
this is much finer thar going on that
Dig ship. / have n of my own now,
and l can be captain n sail it lust

But just then the boat stopped, and
try as he would, Johnny Mouse could
not make it sail.
He soon discovered the trouble: a
bit of straw had caught his boat, and
heid 1T close to a big post, and if
johnnie had been wise he would have
rawled up that post and run back
home.
But Johnnie Mouse wanted to be a
sailor, and so he did not run up the
post. Instead he united the bundle he
still had with him and put the ban
gamma handkerchief on the stick HI had
had carried over his shoulder, and this
he stuck into a hole in the piece OF
wood he called a ship, and then he had
a sail.
Before Johnnie Mouse could think
what had happened, the vino caueht

Johnnle Mouse wondered what was
the matter with him, his head felt So
queer and he wanted to lie down and
never get up. but he knew if he did lei

water.
