War Department Delays
Announcement and Will
Itself Give Out Lists
Men to Report Aug. u
No Provision Made for Men
Who Are Not Recommended
for Appointment
[By r-l-S-,ph 70 rns r-ieuasl

Plattsburg, July 27-The members
Of this camp have been looking forward
70 the publication on the I'd or Sd o.
August Of the list OF candidates recon-
mended for commissions. II had been
planned 70 give out this list soon after
the recommendations had reached the
War Department by special messengers
leaving here on the morning of August
l. No information concerning the can
didates selected will be given at this
camp. The War Department to-day or
dered all camp commanders TO make
no announcement, adding that the de-
psrtment would make public the names
from Washington
The War Department made no refer
ence to the publications Of the names
Of candidates not recommended for
commissions. but recommended for a
second tour of duty or TO the aviation
service, and il is likely that a complete
list Of the men and the work accom-
plished with all results will never be
known.
Officers TO Report August II
Even successful candidates for COM
missions will be interested in knowing
the disposition of their comrades. and
even those who are discharged would
prefer that the papers record the fact
and save them considerable embarrass-
ment. Colonel Wolf will inquire Of the
department how far he may go in CIV
ing out this information.
One important thing that the candl-
dates who are liable 70 make officers
are anxious TO know is what will be the
method of procedure at the close Of
the camp, and what time they will have
to themselves. This was settled late
tonight b. the receipt Of telegram
from the War Department, which
states:
"All officers heretofore appointed and
recommended by boards for retention
in service as officers Of the National
Army will be ordered 20 their respec-
tive divisional cantonments, reporting
not later than August 81. Successful
candidates will be commissioned at
close Of training camp, placed on ac-
tive duty at the training camp August
IS. and then ordered TO divisional can
comments, reporting not later than Au-
gust q. This arrangement will give
all concerned about twelve days delay,
enabling them 70 visit their homes and
procure uniforms and equipment"

There are very few hats which, with little
knowledge, cannot be altered into the new style
and worn second season. Felt hats should
be carefully brushed, but shake those of
beaver, as brushing them only grnds in the
dust Even if the hat itself is beyond using
again the trimming may be adaptable to an
other form. 1t is better to rip it off, free it
from all dust and clean it. Hats must be
packed loosely and never crushed together, the
crown should be stuffed with tissue paper, and
the hat then placed in its own box which has
been lined with newspaper or tissue paper and
sprinkled with generous supply Of camphor
flakes or moth balls
That the average woman gives very little
care to her shoes is most noticeable fact in
these days of short skirts. Boots, shoes and
slippers when not being worn should be freed,
and as soon as the heels show the slightest
tendency to run down" they should be sent TO
the shoemaker to be Strengthened. Shoes that
are treated with consideration show the benefit
of such treatment both in their looks and
wearing qualities.
Before the winter shoes are put away it is
necessary TO clean them thoroughly. There
is nothing better for preserving calfskin and
other heavy feathers than mutton tallow. The
grease should be allowed TO soak in, and the
shoes then wiped with piece of flannel. Olive
oil is best for shiny feathers and cream for the
ordinary kid shoes. Each shoe should be freed,
and as lasting trees can now be purchased at
such low cost the careful housewife no longer
considers them luxury but necessity
However, the shoe forms that are in use
need not be surrendered, because stuffing the
heavy boots tightly with newspaper will pre-
serve their shape very well. Cotton or tissue
paper should be used for the lighter shoes and
slippers, each one being then wrapped sepa-
rately in flannel or the ever useful tissue paper
and then boxed

cannot be said about removing every parti-
Gle Of dust and dirt This is an absolute ne
cessity unless a general invitation is being sent
out to the whole moth family.
After this careful brushing and prolonged
summing every part of the various coats, skirts,
etc, should be looked over carefully for any
moth eggs and then brushed again. If the
eggs are not laid before the garment is packed
away it will be safe, but if they are put in the
dark, securely fastened to bit Of wool, they
will hatch and have a glorious time eating
holes in the cloth, in spite Of every known pre-
ventive.
The dust banishing process has revealed all
the dirt and grease spots. These should be re-
moved with some established cleaner, but treat
the cloth coat collars to vigorous scrubbing

they should be thoroughly shaken and exposed
in the sun for at least twenty-four hours.
Every inch of each piece of fur should be gone
over with coarse comb, giving it a gentle
but thorough combing, shaking it from time
10 time, as this helps to remove any moth eggs
that may be sticking in the fur.
Each piece, stole, muff or coat, should be
suspended in moth-proof bag of its own as
the hair becomes fattened if the fur is packed
away tightly.
Some housewives prefer to store the family
furs at storage warerooms, where any trouble
will be frozen out, as the cold storage process
is certain to kill animal life The low tenn
perature it is said also preserves the lexibility
of the skin by lessening the evaporation Of the
natural oils.

Hyposulphide Of soda, which Is the "hypo"
in photography, is about the only bleach that
can be used. tablespoonful of hypo crystals
may be dissolved in two quarts of water and
the silk dipped into that. Only partial success
can be promised from this, because the silk
gradually yellows with each washing.
TO BLEACH WOOLLENS
One should begin with a clean garment.
Spread the wet garment on strings which have
been stretched, clothesline fashion, across the
top of barrel. sulphur candle which has
been placed in pan Of water in the bottom Of
the barrel is lighted as one does in fumigat
ing room. The sulphur fumes are allowed
to pass up through the clean, wet garment
and bleach it. Put heavy, tight cover over
the top of the barrel to keep the fumes in
No time can be given to this process, be-
cause it depends entirely upon the degree Of
discoloration to be bleached out. From expert
once it is found that one does less harm by
washing woollens than by overwearing with
the fear that washing will spoil the garment.
garment which is oyersoed requires so
many changes of water and 50 much handling
and soaking that the washing is especially
nara on IL.
The worker will realize that the bleaching
can continue until the color is satisfactory and
as long as the garment is wet. Water is nee
essary for this bleaching process. Bleaching
Of woollens by the sulphur method should not
be considered unless one has access to the out
Of-doors.
COLORED WOOLLENS AND SILKS
Colored woollens and silks will have to be
washed by the combined rule for colors and
for silk and wool fabrics in fact, the rule that
produces the best washing of coored goods
is the best for wooens and silks. Salt may be
used for setting colors with wcollens and silks
the same as for cottons and linens
If one has tested sample of the goods to be
washed, and soap causes a bleeding" of coIors,
under even the most careful of conditions, soap
bark would better be substituted in place of
soap. Make n solution by cooking one cupfu
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-03-04

of soap bark in a quart of water for about ten
minutes Strain and use the liquor in the
place of soap in the wash water This amount
is enough for garment about the size Of
shrtwast.
The soap bark method is especially salts
factory for the darker colors of all silks and
woods. and can even be used for cottons and
linens. 1t should never be used for white
goods.
1t is better to put heavy woollen garments
through the wringer. The pressure Of the
wringer is less harmful than the twisting Of
hand wrnging, and much more of the surplus
water is taken out, which hastens the drying
process In using the wrlnger for the wooens,
try to hold the garment so that its weight as
it goes through the wringer does not stretch it.
Silks can be wrung dry by folding in towel
and wringing towel and silk together.
DRY WOOLLENS TO SHAPE
Woolens should be dried with the thought
of drying to shape. Blankets are best put into
curtain stretchers. In the absence of the cur
tain stretcher hang the blanket over the line
bv having half on each side Of the line. This
helps the worker to pull the halves equally,
thus shaping and Squaring somewhat, as IS
done in the frames When the blanket is half
dry turn half around on the line Blankets
that are brushed look fluffy and more like new
Crocheted or knitted woollens may be dried
in pillow slip, hanging the slip bag fashion,
and at frequent intervals tossing and shaking
it. This method is not so satisfactory II one
is attempting to overcome suggestion oil
shrinkage and most people prefer to shape
the garment according to measurements taken
before washing and lay the garment on
folded sheet or several thicknesses of bath
towels. Usually the garment will stay in the
shape that it is dried.
To dry sweater, measure the middle front
length. underarm length, inner sleeve and
width Of chest. Lay the sweater fiat on Its
back. being sure to have the fronts together
straight and the bottom straight. Pull pocket
to shape. as it cannot be washed basted up

they were considered as being more like the
skin of the worker,-easily scorched, easily
irritated bv soda. susceptible to rubbing and
easily vellowed or sunburned by exposing to
the sun when wet
From these facts definite rules may be
formed which, if followed, will make silk and
wool washing more successful.
RULES.
Use water about the temperature Of the
hand-98 to 100 degrees F.
Use fine white soap, by making it into
suds with the wash water.
Use no akas other than a few drops of
ammonia or little borax dissolved.
Wash by not rubbing but by pressing and
squeezing in the soap suds.
Do not boil.
Dry in the same temperature IN which 1t
was washed and preferably out of the direct
rays Of the sun.
Having made these rules, the next step is
how TO follow them. Prepare suds by using
one cake of Ivory, Fairy or some white soap
that would be used for washing the hands
Heat gently in two quarts Of water. This soap
solution had better not be boiled, as boiling 1t
would cause it to darken, making it more or
less unfit for white woods and silks.
This suds may be added TO water which IS
Just a trife warmer than the hand and enough
SOAP should be used TO make the lather hold.
The wash water should be changed until the
last suds is quite clean, but remember that
the point in washing these fabrics, especially
the woollens, is that there be no change OF
temperature.
Always prepare the tub of water before
putting in the garment. Very soiled spots may
be specially cleaned by applying some of the
soap solution with the palm Of the hand.
SOAP FOR WASHING BLANKETS
large bar white soap.2 tablespoons borax.
3 quarts cold water. Y cup alcohol
Shave the soap into the cold water and heat
TO boiling point When cold add borax and
alcohol.
Put one quart Of this solution into the first
tub one pint into the second tub.
Soda, in any form, should not be used;
therefore washing soda and Javele (which
was referred TO in the preceding article can
not be considered in the washing Of either
fabric. Often the desire 10 bleach silks and
woollens causes the worker to use the beaches
they have been using for cottons and linens;
hence the rule that no alkali other than lew
drops of ammonia or one or two tablespoons
of borax should be used.
With the soap always in solution, and never
in a cake form, the most natural way in wash
ing is in pressing and squeezing. This method
il best, as no friction can be allowed because
rubbing felts the woollens. causing shrnkage.
Boiling shrinks woods and yellows silks

with soap and water. Not infrequently some
of the garments may have to be sent to a
cleaner, for nothing showing vestige Of
grease must be packed away. A spot is the
first point to which moth is attracted.
HANGING GARMENTS AWAY TO AVOID
WRINKLES
Next in Importance to guarding against
moths is to keep the garments as nearly
wrinkleess as possible. Where there is suf-
ficient closet space the hanging of coats,
dresses, skirts, evening gowns and wraps IN
cedarzed or tar paper bags will save much
pressing and renovating in the fall Each
garment should be hooked or buttoned into
shape over padded hangers, stuffed with It's
sue paper sprinkled with camphor and slipped
into the bag.
1t is not claimed that these bags will destroy
moth eggs. but because of their material and
alright condition they will keep the moths at
a respectable distance. The odor of the pre-
pared paper acts as deterrent because the
moths do not like it. 1t is also possible to
make bags of good strong paper, old sheets
or close unbleached muslin, but the aperture
where the hook comes through must be tightly
closed and thin bags of camphOr or moth balls
suspended on the inside
When there is not much closet space the
best receptacle in which to pack away the win
ter clothes is a cedar chest. Nothing has been

in fe guarding
furs. No amount of
moth balls or cam
phor fakes will Sc
cure them from mis-
fortune if they are
dirty, and it is only
by the utmost vigi-
lance that the house
wife can forestall
the ravages Of moths.
Furs should be

as possible. But be-

make the task agreeable, but it is possible to
tighten the work if system is applied TO every
step.
This careful putting away of garments that
arc 10 be worn next season is true economy
# pavs TO keep them free from dust, moths
and general mussing. The thrifty house
wife used to pack her clothes away regardless
Of their future appearance; but now an effort
Is made TO preserve not only the fabric, but
the shape of the garment as we'll 80 the
noth-dispellng process must be, as far as pos
Sble. wrinkleless one.
Our climate varies too much to set any posi-
tive time for the packing away Of the woollens
Spring is acknowledged to be the most treach-
erous of the four seasons. On this account 1t
i desirable TO keep the heavy clothing ready
for use until the weather seems settled.
At the same time it is necessary to pack the
garments away before the hot summer air has
warmed the moths into activity.
SUMMING AND CLEANING MOST NECES-
SARY
Select a sunny day for the work. Fresh
air and sunlight are the best known germ de
stroyers. Gather all the clothes together; take
them out in the back yard and hang them on
the elothegline. If the housewife is fiat
dweler and a back yard is not available, the
balcony. roof or even an open window can be
pressed into service for the prolonged summing
and airing.
The dust should always be removed from
