 To Preserve Harness
 Harness leather, like shoes, can not be neglected without injury that les sens its durability. It should be washed and oiled frequently. The washing should be done in tepid wa ter, with 8 neutral soap and a sponge or stiff brush. After rinsing in clean tepid water, the harness is hung up to drain a little while beroe oiling.
 For driving harness neatsfoot or castor oil is best. but for heavy har- ness there may be some tallow in the oil. The applications should be light for driving and liberal for heavy har- ness. The oil, warm to the hand, is rubbed thoroughly into the leather while it is still wet from washing. Ex- cess oil which the leather is unable to take up should be removed with a clean, dry cloth. -'

WILL LET PRESS
 CENSOR, ITS NEWS

Washington, May 1.-The admin ther- efforts at present to have Con- gress enact a press censorship law, nor is it expected to otinsist that Sen ate and House conferees on the Es- plonage Bill will be urged to retain the censorship provision written into the r. easure by the House.
 For the present the executive branch of the government, it was sad last night, is content to permit the newspapers to continue as under the regulations voluntarily accepted by them governing publication of military information. If there are developments in the next few months indicating these restrictions are not effective in preventing publication of matter valuable to the enemy, the fight for censorship law will be re- newed.
 Many officials say the real purpose of me stringent censorship was to curb few newspapers, not more than five per cent of the total, which fail ed to abide by the regulations that others have imposed upon themselves and followed consistently.
 If the conferees on the bin agree to a censorship and both Houses ap- pI owe there will be no objection from the Executive, but it was said on au- thority last night no pressure is to be brought to bear to bring about such action Conferees on the Espfonaee Blll will begin their meetings on Fri day.

SHOES ARE HIGH BUT CARE OF OLD
 ONES WILL HELP
Valuable Information Is
 Broadcasted by Govern ment's Investigators.

:. Washington, D. C.. May 1T.-War demands leather-leather for sol f1iers' shoes, leather for harness, leather for equipment of many kinds, In this country there Is no such sur plus that we can afford to waste any of it.: and 1t Is wasting leather not to care for and preserve it properly. In the army and out, we all wear shoes If we manage them rightly they will last longer, we will not need so many new ones and there will be more left for others, The following suggestion from the Leather and Paper Labora- tory of the U. & Department of Agri- culture can be utilized by everyone who walks srs= aasss4l
 = TO SAVE SHOES
 Shoes should be oiled or greased whenever the leather begins to gel hard or dry. They should be brush ed thoroughly and then all the dir and mud that remains washed of with warm water, the excess water being taken of with a dry oloth- While the shoes are stiA wet and warm ap- ply the oil or grease with a swab O. wool or flannel It is best to have the oil or grease about as warm as thu hand can bear and 1t should be rub bed well into the leather, preferabl, with the. palm If necessary, the oi can be, applied to dry leather. but i penstrakes better when the latter | wet After treatment the shoes shoul, be~left to dry in place that is warn not hot
 ! Castor oil Is satisfactory for shoe that are to be polished; for plaine footgear neat'sfoot. fish oil. or olein may be substituted If 1t is desire. to make the shoes and boots nor waterproof, beef taIlow may be add ed to any of these substances at tn rate of half a pound of taIlow to pint of oil The edge of the sole am the welt should be greased thorough H. Too much grease can not be ap piled to these parts-
 A simple method of making tn soles more durable, p1iab1e and wate resistant Is to swab them occasional lyi with Hnseed oil, setting them asid to dry over night
