A Few Hints for Laundering.


Using an old sheet double 1t as
many times as it will cover the board.
This will make four or five thick
nesses, which are laid smoothly and
tackled on the board all at once. When
the top layer becomes soiled, 1t Is cut
off and there Is the board with clean
cover.
When covering the irOning-board
with a blanket or padding, tack 1t
along the edges only, so that both
sides and the ends are smoothly COW
cred. Then make an unbleached iron
Ing sheet the size of board, with large
end left open to slip on like a pillow
case. II we'll fitted, both sides OF the
board can be used; 1t will look neat
and there will be no pins or nails to
tear hands or clothing.
Useful Ironing Blanket.
Make an ironing blanket for EN-
broidered articles and laces from
square Of white outing flannel, and one
of Turkish toweling. neatly bound to
gether. The Turkish side Is used fol
faces and insertions, as the loose
threads In ironing are forced VI
through the lace, while the other sid'
is used for embrOideries.
For Cleaning and Polishing Irons.
Saturate cloth with water, wr1n
partially dry, rubbing soap thorough
! ly on it. Place on several thicknesse
Of paper. Rub iron over 1T severa

times, pressing hard, to remove starch
and roughness. The result Is surpris-
ing. as it makes the surface OF iron
perfectly clean and smooth.
This is the best and most economi-
cal way of cleaning irons, doing away
with the use Of ironing wax or any
cleanser for irons.
A Handy Iron Cleaner.
A very practical little contrivance
for use when ironing consists OF a
block of wood about five inches square.
Five holes are bored in this block ana
filed with beeswax. These are cover
ed with a piece Of muslin. The other
side of the block is covered with EN-
ery-cloth. The emery side of the BLOCK
Is used to rub the iron on II the
starch sticks and the wax side gives
the iron smoothness.
Old fat-irons become rusty, but 9
coat of aluminium enamel paint makes
them neat and clean. No more flakes
of rust or smudge to drop off on white
garments when ironing. They can D'
washed and the heat does not affec
the enamel, as 1t Is the kind used OF
radiators. One coat Is sufficient, ant
a small can will do for coating mum

TORPEDO FACTORY
FOR ALEXANDRIA

One of the largest torpedo con-
struetion stations of the Navy Depart
ment is rapidly being completed near
the historic old Carlyle House at
Alexandria, Va.
The base consists Of two concrete
buildings which, when finished, will
cost 81 100000, and will employ 1900
people. Capt. William S. Miller, U. S,
NJ, has been in charge of the plant.
Producing TO capacity the station
will turn out eight torpedos a day.
Highgrade mechanics are necessary
to their construction because OF the
intricate mechanism. some parts of
which are smaller than those OF a
watch.
A 310-foot wharf extends out into
the Potomac at the station, and two
cranes will unload supplies from in
coming vessels and place torpedoes
upon the bases launches, which will
test the products at the nearby prov
ing grounds on the river. After rigid
tests, the engines of destruction will
be shipped elsewhere to be loaded
with explosives.
II was in the nearby CARLYLE House
that General Braddock. commander Of
the British forces in America, met the
governors OF FIVE colonies IN 1858 and
discussed plans for action against the
French and Indians. The most i'm
portant result of this consultation was
the determination TO tax the provinces.
This decision led to the War of the
Revolution and the emancipation OF
the colonies twenty-two years later.

SCRAMBLE ON FORf
SEN. MART|N'SSEH

ofhsial circles today discussed the
probable successor to the late Senator
Thomas Staples Martin. as Senator
from Virginia, with more interest
than is usually evidenced in such mat
ters
Because Of the present state OF the
treaty fight. IL will be necessary for
Governor Davis. Of Virginia. immedi-
ately TO name a successor TO the late
minority Senate leader. Although
Senator Martin had been absent from
his seat since July. he had been pair
ed in favor OF the Administration side
of the fight on every ballot, and thus
his vote was not lost.
A boom for John SHELTON Williams
now fighting for confirmation as
Comptroller of the Currency. was the
principal feature Of today. The boom
was sponsored by friends OF the
treaty. who declared that Williams
could be depended upon staunchly TO
support the treaty, which Il was said
represented the sentiment OF Nir-
ginia.
Mr.. williams friends also felt that
a seat in the Senate for him would be

Senate Committee on Banking and
Currency against his confirmation to
his present post.
Another report, that apparently had
foundation. was that Governor Davis
would appoint Harry ST. George
Tucker. a Richmond educator, TO serve
until the election next year, and that
Davis himself would be a candidate
for the remainder OF Senator Martins
term, entering the primaries for that
purpose. Governor Davis previously
has announced he would be a candi-
date against Senator Swanson.
A successor to Senator Martin as
minority leader also was discussed.
Senator Culberson. OF Texas. now the
Democratic nestor in point of service.
at one time relinoufshed the leader
ship because of ill-health. At this
time he still does not feel equal TO
assuming the task for which he is in
line.
The names that probably will be
submitted when the Democratic
caucus meets in few days TO choose
Senator Martins successor are Sen
ator Hitchcock of Nebraska. who has
been acting leader during Senator
Martins absence; Senator Underwood.
of Alabama, floor leader in the House
before his elevation to the Senate:
and Senator simmons. OF North

City Is Still Growing.

The town keeps on growing, and
the number of people you turn away
from your hotel increases every
month, and you curse and rave and
tear your hair because you let that
vacant lot get away from you. The
price of the lot is now two hundred
thousand, and a hundred thousand
dollar store is being built on it.
Your hotel is not keeping up
with the town. Your patrons are
kicking because they get turned
away so often. About the time the
store next door is completed you
realize that you've GOT to have that
lot, because the time has come when
you've GOT TO enlarge. There's no
alternative
So you 90 out and pay three hun

and you charge to experience, profit

property when you could get it cheap,
