Princes of Chigi

ROME, Aug. 30.-After 337 years the
historic Villa Farnesina, located on the
banks OF the Riber a half mile distant
from st. Peters church, will again be
occupied by descendants of its origin
al owners and builders, the Princes of
Chigi.
The head OF the house, Prince Luz
dovic Chigi, who last year was ap-

Marshal of the Holy Church and the
Guard of the Conciave and, therefore.
rules the Vatican during the interim
between the death OF a Pope and the
election of a new one. recently dis
posed OF the Chigi palace, to the Ita!-
ian government. It is stated that b.
this sale he was put in a position to
buy back he Villa Farnesina. erected
in 1509-l1 by the papal banker Agos-
tino Chigi and notable because OF its
frescoes by Raphael
The palace will be restored and re-
furnished as 1t was then first occupied
by the Chigi family, an auction sale
having been held recently to rid the
palace Of the furniture left there b.
the king Of Naples. The return OF the
Chigis is considered remarkable since
it is proverbial in Rome that when
once family leaves its home. it leaves
forever

TO REMOVE CARBON
FROM GAS MANTLES

Editor Food and Thrift Page. Evening Star:
Dear Sir: In The Star OF Friday. March
9, there appeared an article on how to
remove carbon from gas mantles. ! desire
to offer a few corrections to this article,
having made a study of the conditions
causing carbon and the removal OF
same.
The use of salt to remove carbon
sists in consuming the carbon it also
causes early corrosion of the metal
parts of the lamp and will finally eat
these parts away. and does not remedy
the trouble permanently.
Carbon on a gas mantle Is caused by
one thing. namely. Incomplete combus-
free carbon in the gas must be oxi-
died by the mixing of the gas with
the oxygen OF the air prior to the lgni-
ton Of the gas This i'm, mixture saI tso fs con- i-
shutter. Then the reason for carbon
may be stated as either too much gas
or not enough air, or both these con-
ditions.
These in turn may be caused by the
following conditions: Improper gas flow
due to q stoppage in the fixture or pip
ing. a stoppage in the lamp itself, or
improper adjustment OF the lamp. AS
clear and the lamp is perfect. we must
cut down the gas fiow at the gas valve
and open the air shutter until the name
is Just at a point Of flash back Chat Is.
when flame begins to jump. and let
the light burn thus until the carbon
disappears.
Then turn the gas on until the man
tie is completely incandescent. with. a
light brown spot on the bottom of the
same If the light roars or buzzes;;
then slightly close the air shutter until
il ceases. still keeping in view the
brown spot on the bottom of the man
tie, for when this disappears you may
still have too much gas or not enough
air.
cisely the same as a carburetor on an
auto and the adjustment should pc
made as precise and exact TO OBTAIN
proper results.

THE BUSINESS OF BEING A HOUSEWIFE.
WHAT is REAL SERVICE?

with the foods Of producers of national
reputation.
The kind of store and kind of foods
are the fundamentals of real service.
To have a clean store he will have such
few bulk foods as he carries neatly and
thoroughly covered He will have the
neat sanitary packages wherever pos
sible. These cans and cartons attrac-
lively displayed-stamp the. quality
Of the store by the dependable names
on the packages.
The next service Of real import
ance Is cleanliness and attentiveness
Of those who wait upon customers.
The merchant soon comes to know
family. One who by suggestion helps
housewife to add variety to her
table is giving expert service. Jhis
may be done by explaining various
ways of preparing foods or advising a
substitute of quality for some food he
feels quite sure the family is tired of.
For instance the dealer who has a good
supply of carton rice or canned hominy
to offer his customers when potatoes
so up is giving real service.
Dependable Service.
A regular delivery system would
also be a real help. The wise house,
wife would then plan ahead and give
in her order the day before SO it
could go out on the morning delivery.
Any special orders that could not be
taken care Of in the regular morning
or afternoon trip should be charged for
az special service. After we had paid
for our thoughtlessness ourselves few
times we would improve along the lines
Of planning.
All balanced up these real services
would tend to increase our own efii-
cheney many times over.
why not start neighborhood club
yourself? Have the leading women of
your community look into this special
service problem and its relation to the
high cost of living. You'll be astound
ed at the money involved in the little
extra services you demand. start a
campaign for real services today.
