AS LINEN CLOSET SHOULD BE
Right Way to Keep Receptacle Upon
Which So Much of the FamiIy's
Comfort Depends.

The shelves of the linen closet look
most attractive if they are trimmed
with white paint from top to bottom
Cheesecloth, with a thickness Of cot
ton batting, sprinkled with lavender
flowers, should be backed up against
the back of each partition, and small
punches of dried lavender hung up
from the top shelf.
The top should be reserved for blan-
kets, spreads and quilts Partitions
on the lower shelves should separate
the sheets, pillowcases, towels, table
cloths and napkins, and a special
place should be provided for doilies
tray cloths and bureau covers.
By keeping her linen methodically
arranged in this manner, the house
keeper knows exactly how her stock
stands and can replenish systematical-
ly.
Many women have adopted the plan
Of adding one new article to the linen
chest each week, and thus can keep
ahead Of the game without any per-
ceptible drain on the family purse.

COMMERCE Department
NEEDS ADDITIONAL ROOM
Building Erected for It Only Two
Years Ago Already Is
Overcrowded.

Although 1t has occupied its present
, only little more than two years, the
Department of Commerce is again in
need of additional space. according to
a report made to the Secretary today by
Chief Clerk Havenner.
When the federal trade commission
which now occupies the entire ninth floor
of the building, moves to new quarters
there will be a general Encouragement
of the Offices in the building. Every ef-
fort is being made to have the commits
sion move just as soon as possible, sc
that the room may be used by other
bureaus of the department. The COM
mission has $4,000 with which to rent
new quarters, but seems to be having
difficulty in finding a suitable place.
Even after the reassignment of
quarters, when the commission gets
out there will be need for 2.617 adj.
no way of increasing the size Of the
building. Ev-ry Office in the building
is crowded to an unhealthy point.
This additional need is for ONCE space
and does not take into account the need
of a great amount of additional floor
space for storage purposes by all OF
the bureaus.
When the commission moves the
bureau of navigation will be moved
solicitors office from the sixth to the
ninth floor. and part of the bureau
of the census to the seventh floor.
where there will be a arrangement
of the offices of the assistant secretary
and the chief clerk.
