The Care of Wicker.

Wicker furniture that is unstained,
especially If it is used for porch or
garden, soon looks. shabby, and 1T
should be stained or vanished or
enameled as protection against fur
ther shabbiness. 1t is a good plan to
out staining it: the natural color OF
wicker and willow is pleasant. The
second season it can be stained. and
can be restained after that whenever
It needs it-once in two years. if a
nat-hnish stain is used, less often il
1t Is enameled.
Before staining or painting any
wicker or willow furniture clean it
thoroughly. The best way to do this
Is to prepare tubful of hot suds and
douse this over the chair and other
furniture in pailfuls out of doors.
from a hose or else with clear water
thrown over it in pailfuls. Dry the
furniture thoroughly in the sunshine
before staining or painting.
1t Is really very easy to paint or
stain willow or wicker furniture. This
year. in fact, a good many women OF
wealth have made it fad to finish
their own veranda or summer cottage
furniture. For the woman who must
be economical there is solid satisfac-
ton in knowing that in carrying out
q fad Of women of wealth she ID also
saving a good deal Of money. A SIM
pie chair costs at least a dollar more
stained or enameled than unstained;
yet the stain for good sized chair
costs less than 10 cents. Beside the
paint needed there must also be
good brush, but one for 25 cents will
paint dozens Of chairs and tables and
muffin stands and wool baskets and
other pieces Of wicker or willow, and
can then be put away to use again
next year.
A dull finish is generally preferred
at the present time by interior decora-
tors who use willow and wicker to
shiny finish. This dull finish can be
obtained either by using a stain in a
30 o-called nat finish. or by using . var
nish stain and rubbing it in with a
cloth a. you put it on. To do this
have q pile Of little squares OF old
cotton cloth and after every six or
eight brush strokes lay tho brush
down and rub the stain as nearly dry
a. possible with a piece of cloth. AZ

take fresh piece.
1t is really easier to apply dull
finish stain, even when you must use
4 cloth to get the desired lack Of lus-
ter, than It IL to apply enamel. But
enameling II easy enough. The enamel

Letters and kilograms today went

asking them to give preference to re-

islative employees. J. VIII Kelley, di-
rector of the United States employ

house members to aid in overcoming
idleness among returned soldiers by
giving legislative employment to as
many men as possible. Many expert
enced clerks and stenographers are
available for legislative work, Kelley
asserted.
Alarming conditions are being pre-
sented in many towns and cities as
result of the idleness of returned SOL

to the depot, marched in the parade

do. Officers Of the employment bu-

boys in the service had been led'@to
believe that they would own the town
or at least the best job in the town
when they finished the war service.
During a legislative session, some
200 to $50 employees are retained on
the state payroll for extra work. Most
of these jobs pay SO a day. Many of
the jobs are for janitors and extra
door keepers and assistant sergeant
at arms, as we'll as docket clerks and
stenographers. Kelley sees no reason
why scores of returned soldiers are
not available for these positions and
he has asked the legislators to give re-
turned service men preference.

A SPLENDID MOVEMENT

The very handsome progress being
made in the collection Of the fund OF
thirty thousand dollars. to be pledged
for the use Of the Wheeling Improve
ment Commission, Is gratifying evil
dence Of the public spirit in this COM
munity, and tho willingness OF the
people to join in some definite plan OF
city Improvement During the past four
years, Wheeling has contributed most
generously to many national and chart
table causes. We gave enormous sums
to the Red Cross and the Y. NJ. c. A.
We bought heavily of government bonds
and paid tremendous tax bills. These
things were done checrfully because
they were q patriotic duty.
Now our citizens justly feel that it is
time to do something for Wheeling: time
TO use some Of our own money for the
betterment and Identification Of our
town. We have, as a result of our war
activities. a new pride in this good and
substantial community of ours: n now
feeling that, after all. and with all it's
faults, Wheeling Is a mighty good place
to live in, and 1t is up to us 10 make il
better place.
We can do this. and tho formation OF
The Wheeling Improvement Commission
is the first definite step towards tho
translation OF some of our dreams into
substantial facts
