The Housewives Economy Calendar
by Fraaees harshasl :

If YOU send your sheets out it is
quite likely that they are cleaned
in strong soap solutions If little
holes appear and spattered over
the sheets you may be sure this is
true. Make sure then that your
laundry does not do this. You have
q right 10 inquire and a right TO
know. If you cannot stop il then
have them done at home and make
sure that your laundress has no
strong soap powders. Then in the
laundry the mangle is another thing
that works havoc. Watch for rents
and tears that are mangle-made.
And don. stand for them.
Needless TO say much can be done
by mending and patching. Usually
We don't spend much time on mend
ing old sheets, for new ones can be
got with less trouble than mending
the old ones. But now. out with
your mending basket and go back
&c the practice Of your grandmother
who used 10 put as pretty stitches in
mending her sheets as she did in
embroidering table linen.

CONSERVING BED SHEETS.


In some well-equipped English
country homes, you know. guests
are always asked before their beds
are made up for the night whether
they prefer linen or cotton sheets.
There are always enough linen
sheets. of course. but the inquiry is
made through consideration of those
who don't like 10 feel the linen.
Even in most well-equipped
American homes such an inquiry
would be out of the question unless
of course YOU were sure that your
guests were prejuiced against linen.
Linen has always been more eXpens-
lie here than over there. and be
sides We have considered cotton
good enough. Linen has advantages
and disadvantages in the laundry.
J. is extremely heavy for the laun
dress TO handle. since il absorbs
more water. II is harder TO wiring
out. but on the other hand I
comes up" better when it is iron
ed.
Now even cotton bed things are
precious Sheets and pillOwcases
have advanced considerably in
price. and with all other expenses
that have confronted us in this
spring and summer Of f91S few OF
u feel that We can spend much on
restocking our bedding closet. So
here as i'm ever: other line OF house
hold planning We are forced 10 con-
serve If We have bed things on
hand we must hold ON 20 them as
long as We possible can. We must
dc something that viii make them
last twice as long "a they would
formally. Now this sort OF con-
servation is easy enough when il
comes 10 sugar. We simply have TO
use il half as Often or use only half
"a much But we cannot 20 without
sheets half OF the time or manage
with only one sheet
The place that this sort of con-
servation begins IS in the laundry.

Deolutching at Corners.

While it is wise precaution to
throw out the clutch when rounding
. sharp corner, it also has a beneficial
effect upon the tires. Whenever the
car tends to skid, due to its detection
from Z straight course, a cross strain
10 brought to bear on the tire treads,
which Is directly proportional to the
weight OF the vehicle and the radius
Of the curve and proportional to the
square Of Ito velocity. If the power
q applied In rounding I curve the
tendency TO rip of the tires is further
aggravated BY the backward drag due
to traction. II the clutch 10 released,
however, that factor 10 eliminated and
the strain Is thereby reduced.
