NOTHING WRINKLES
FADES OR SHRINKS
Women save IS In an hour by dry
cleaning everything with
gasoline.

Dry cleaning at home is all the rage
here, says a we'll known downtown
druggist. Any woman can do five dol
lars worth of dry cleaning at home at
very little cost by dissolving two
ounces of solvite in two gallons of
gasolin; then immerse the articles to
be cleaned; rub little and in a few
moments the gasoline evaporates and
the articles cleaned look bright and
fresh as new.
Dry clean your own silk waists,
dresses, ribbons, belts, kid gloves,
satin shoes, evening slippers, fine
laces, net work, woolens, dresses, chill
dren's coats, furs, wells, neckties,
shawls, gentlemen's garments, fancy
vests, lace curtains, rugs, In fact,
everything that would be ruined by
washing with soap and water. Moth
ing will fade, shrink or wrinkle, max
ing pressing unnecessary.
Dry cleaning at home Is inexpensive
and effects tremendous saving In the
household and is really just as easy as
laundering Any druggist will sell two
ounces of solvite which is simply a
gasoline soap and your grocer or a
garage will supply the gasoline. Then
a wash boiler or dispan completes the
outfit-Adv.

GREAT VICTORY
FOR COMSTOCK,
IS PREDICTION

The beginning of the final week of
the campaign finds Walter Bossert,
Republican chairman of the Sixth dis
trict. absolutely confident Of sweep
ing Republican victory In the district.
Great interest is shown In the con-
gressional contest in each Of the eight
counties and Chairman Bossert today,
after perusing the latest reports re-
ccived from the various county chair
men, declared that Judge Comstock,
the Republican congressional nominee,
would come into Wayne county on
election day with a majority of sever
al hundred, and that the anticipated
majority he would receive in Wayne,
his home county, would make his total
majority over Finly H. Gray, the Dem
ocratic nominee, most impressive
one.
Three Counties Doubtful
While Chairman Bossert is still
claiming Comstock majorities in
every county with the exception of
Shelby, other G. O. p. organization
leaders are placing Franklin, Shelby
and Hancock counties in the doubtful
list and conceding possible Gray ma
iorities in each one, but greatly re-
duced majorities.
Henry county, the reports indicate,
will go heavily Republican with Com
stock one of the ticket leaders Fay
cite county, the home of Mr.. Gray, will
also return a very satisfactory ma
jority for Comstock and the remainder
of the Republican ticket Union, the
smallest county in the district. will
return at least a 800 majority for Com
stock unless all signs fail, G.. o. p.
managers assert, and Rush county will
occupy it's usual place on the G. o. p.
bandwagon

USE SEVERE METHOD
TO TEST CAR WHEEL
Dodge Brothers Adopt Same
Plan As in Force in Railway
Shops.

Shop practice at the ordinsry foundry
provides for testing the strength Of iron
castings by having a workman try to
demolish them with a sledge.
But his work is hardly uniform. as
some days he feels stronger than others
and also the same workman Is not al
ways available for the Job.
Then. too, there are. castings that a
man with a sledge is not able to break.
Railway car wheels are in this class
and in the big car plants a modified pile
driver Is sused. Each wheel. on the
strength Of which may depend many
lives, Is required to show a strength
much greater than 1t will ever be called
on to display in actual service.
Dodge Brothers have applied this pile
driver system to testing iron castings
used in the manufacture OF motor cars.
Samples are taken from each batch OF
castings to the physical laboratory. One

other samples break the same way, II
means that the batch Is not up to the
standard demanded and the Junk pile is
augmented accordingly.
A table OF standards has been worked
out SO that the laboratory experts
know just how much each casting must
stand. And, Of course, the stress put
on them Is far greater than they will
