For Old linol- um.

An old linOlcum, If not worn into
holes, may be refreshed and made al
most as good as new with little trOu-
bic. First, be sure that it is stretched
and tackled as closely as possible.
Then paint it all over with two coats
OF any good wash paint, letting the
first one dry before supplemcnting it
with the second. When this is quite
dry, give the floor coating Of orange
shellac. After this is dry, go over 1T
with second coat. This gives an ex-
cellent finish to the floor and will make
the linoleum not only look we'll, but
add greatly to it's wearing qualities.
An oil mop will keep it clean.

IS DISPENSER or COMFORT
One EngIishwoman Does "Her Bit" by
Keeping Open Hoase for Wounded
Mems Visitors.

There Is a large class Of English
women, writes London correspondent,
who have to keep their own homes 60
Ing, but who manage to take time to
help to ease the war strain. She visits
soldiers wives and families in dark
and dirty streets, rs do most of her
friends and hundreds Of other women.
She never goes empty-handed. To pay
for these luXuries she diSDenSeS with
help In the housework, rising earlier
In the morning to do 1t herself. Here
is the experience of one:
In the course Of her visit to- a hos
pttal tall, sad, young Scotchman won
her sympathy. He was grievously
wounded, but what he seemed to suffer
from most was Inconsistencies and q
wild longing for his own people, es-
pecially his mother. "She can't afford
It," he said when asked why she did
not visit him. "She could get q half
fare warrant, I know, but even then
she's not accustomed to travel, and
she'd be lost in strange town."
This gave her an idea. She would
ask the mother to come to Leeds and
stay with her! She met her Mt the sta
tion and took her up to the hospital,
where the excited boy lay.
For few days the old Scotch wom-
an stayed with her, and then returned
to Scotland full Of gratitude and de-
light at having seen her son. She was
the first of many guests entertained by
this warm-hearted Epglishwoman. Sol
diers' wives came, sometimes bringing
with them a baby-once or twice it
was baby the father had never seen
before. born while he was ut the front;
soldiers sisters, sweethearts, mothers
all poor women who could not afford
to have come without her offer of hos
pitality. They arrived tired, anxious
and sad and she cOmf0rted them and
checrcd them, and they went away hap
pier to know that their dear ones had
so kind friend at hand.

Field Marshal Lord French, com

issued the following report. dealing
with tonight's raid:
"a group of hostile airplanes cross
ed the Essex coast at z O'Clock this
evening and proceeded across Essex
toward London.
'This group of machines was fol-
lowed at about a quarter of an hours
interval by second group, which
pursued the same course.
"The first attack on London was
delivered from the northeast about
7:45 p. m. Most Of the raiders were
turned back, but one or more Of the
machines penetrated the dcfenscs and
dropped bombs in the southwestern
district.
about 8:15 p. m. the second group
of raiders attempted to cross the de-
fenses at various points in Northeast
and North London, but without sue
cess, until shortly after o'clock,
when few of the machines passed
across London and bombs were again

merous bombs were dropped on the
southwestern district, which is thick
ly populated with the homes of the
upper and the middle classes. The
fire from the defending guns was
longer and louder than ever before.
A rain of shrapnel fell in all sections
of the town and the streets were
virtually deserted save for few
police.
Favorable for Raiders.
The weather was perfect for air op-
crations, as there was bright full
moon, with no clouds or wind. The
people of London expected raid and
were waiting for signals. Soon after
z o'clock motors of the volunteer
corps sped through the streets blow

illuminated notice, "take cover" The
telephone exchanges notified their
subscribers and other measures were
put into execution to inform the
