To Remove Mildew

1t is best to get at mildew stain
right away before it has injured. First,
try this mild treatment: Soak the
stains overnight in sour milk and then
place in the sun without rinsing. Re-
peat the treatment several times if
necessary. If this does not remove
them all, try lemon. moistening the
stains with lemon juice and allow it
to remain in the sun. If the stains are
very persistent go to the druggist and
ask for few crystals of potassium
permanganate. Dissolve one teaspoon
full in a pint of water and apply little
of this to the stains with medicine
dropper or a clean cork and allow
1t to remain in five minutes. Remove
any pink stain left by this chemical
with little oxalic acid. If used with
care permanganate does not as a rule
take out color, but try it first on an
unexposed portion of the skirt.

SLANG TERM OF OLD ORIGIN
AppelIation "Deadhead" First Cams
Into Use When Dead City of
Pompeii Was Flourshing.

Did you ever stop and think WHY, III
you are so fortunate as to acquire a
free ticket to something you should
be called deadhead? The reason for
this bit of slang dates way back to
the days of the ancients. In the ma
tional museum in Naples there is a
case of old theater tickets that the
Pompeiians didn't get chance to use
before their theater season was
brought to such an abrupt close by
the eruption of Vesuvius. They are
made in various shapes, each shape
showing which part of that particular
ticket will admit you. You could get
into the peanut gallery only when you
presented the little pigeons, and to.
this day that gallery is called the pig
con loft in Italy. Then there were
little skulls modelled Of ivory, and
these We're used only by those who
were to be admitted free. Hence.

sun porch to the rear, which in sum-
mer makes an attractive breakfast
room, and adds to the sense of spa
ciousness of the dining room. Toward
the other side of the house is the
kitchen, which also is of good size
and is designed to accommodate tho
most modern kitchen equipment, SO
placed as to bring the greatest Elf
cheney. To the rear of the kitchen Is
porch, leading to the back yard.
The bedrooms are along one side OF
the house, one adjoining the living
room, the other to the back of the
house. Between the two bedrooms is
the bathroom, which opens off q han
that connects the bedrooms. Double
doors lead from the rear bedroom to
the sleeping porch.
Thus 1t win be seen that although
this would be termed a five-room
house, it really is much larger.
The graceful lines of this house,
with the opportunity afforded for
window boxes and flower beds and
shrubs surrounding it, make it par
ticularly attractive from the outside.
This advance in bungalow design
embodies the ideas of number of ar
chitects, who have devoted much
study to designing small homes. This
type of home is engaging the atten-
ton of the leading members OF the.
architectural profession more and
more, as those who build homes now
adays have learned that a little
money spent for advice from EXPERT
enced and capable architects is WORTH
while.
Compact Arrangement
The design and floor plan are recon-
mended for study to those who intend
to build. The more they are studied
the more it will be found that here
is an excellent design for the family
that will build home Of moderate
size. 1t is compact in arrangement

''the modern conveniences' and leaves

Just one word about the desirabii-
ity of building this year. The cessa-
ton of the war has released many
thousands of men skilled In the build
ing trades. 1t also has released guam
titles of materials that have been
used In war work. Both materials
and labor now are available In album

GOOD POINTS IN AMERICANS
Mexican Recognizes Attributes He Be-
lieves Latins Might Copy to
Their Advantage.

Let us recognize this: The poetry
of the American character is shown in
four devotions-to women, to children,
to trees and to birds. These men,
whom many people unjustly suppose
to be rude; these men, who make mir
lions; these men, who maintain the
rails through immense deserts; who
build up formidable industries, have
in their spirit these four devotions.
which honor them vastly and which
not few of us Latins would like to
have for the better honor and embel-
lishment of our common existence.
There are in compensation many
children and flocks of birds. Children
are the kings of the parks. Everything
there is for them. They rule over all,
and you may see them, as | did, in
Rock Creek park Washington with
their naked legs wading in the many
small streams and shouting charm
ingly while splashing in the crystal
of the water. Notwithstanding they
are smaller than the children, the
birds are little kings as well. Little
kings that are respected not only in
the air but on the ground. Sparrows
| have found on the sidewalks among
the hurrying throngs of people, jump
ing and hopping abont.-Carlos Con-

Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF

subject of building, for the readers OF this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he

Owning home is the inherent de-
sire of every head of a family. But
it is doubtful if the pride of owner
ship is as strong in the husband as
in the wife and the other members of
the household. The latter spend q
much greater part of their time in
the home than does the man, whose
days are devoted to business. Conse-
quently it is the wife and daughters
who have the greatest interest in the
planning of a home.
There will be much building of
small homes this year. The govern
ment has removed the restrictions
that were imposed On building as a
war measure and plans that were
temporarily abandoned can now be
brought to fruition. In both country
and city building activity will be
greatly in evidence as soon as spring
comes.
In the meantime those who con
template building will have the pleas
ure of spending the winter evenings
planning the home. That is one OF

can do"
The Red Cross work in north Rus
STA has included the establishment of
an American hospital of 100 beds and
the daily feeding of 5000 school chill
dren. Activities have been extended
from Archangel to many small viii
lagos. An auxiliary ambulance service
is operated for the medical officers of
the army, and everything possible is
being done for the care of our sol
diers in that frozen corner of the
world.
Here at home the effect of peace
has been noticeable in a diminution of
personnel at national headquarters
in Washington, as well as in the d.
visions and chapters. The Christ
mas roll call for 1919 memberships,
however, brought opportunities for a
large majority of the workers to
keep busy until the end of the year,
and the permanent future of the soci-
ETY. is so well settled in the public
mind that it is safe to predict q con-
tinuanee of effective chapter organi-
cation throughout the country. AT ma
tional headquarters many of the vol
unteerS have remained on duty at
great personal sacrifice. A change in
the war council has been the election
of Jesse II. Jones and George e. Scott
to succeed John D. Ryan and Harvey
D. Gibson, resigned.
A complete review of Red Cross
work in any period, even in one
month, would fill volumes. But a
glimpse at the high lights, q skeleton
outline, suffiees TO indicate how wide
has been the organizations range in
wartime and how great are it's posi-
bilties in peace.

1T seems a far Cry from the great
world war to styles in cOrsets. Yet
even in corsets, which seem so incon-
the worlds business, the war has
changed manufacturing methods. and
1t looks as if it would have lasting
effect on the garment. Prices of cor
sets went up with scarcity of mate
rials and increase in cost of labor.
There is no immediate prospect of
their coming down again. For year
at least the French corset fabrics will
not be imported in sufficient quanti-
ties to influence price and the labor
item is difficult to handle. Manufac-
tuners who are willing to shave ex-
penses in every other direction will
hesitate to cut down wages. So we
must reconcile ourselves to the pres
ent required expenditure and hope
that it will not advance.
The low bust proves itself the most
comfortable and the most graceful of
corset models. In fact there is no
particular reason for mentioning the
bust at all In connection with new
models that extend only an inch or so
above the waistline. The bust Is really
corseted by the brassere and the
lungs and diaphragm are not subject
ed to the slightest pressure. Curves
are long in figures corseted In this
way-a contamination devoutIy to be
wished.
Fewer bones-or steels-are used
IN the new models than ever before.
This came about through the short
age of boning materials and proved a
blessing in disguise. Even the stout
woman finds her figure well support

used instead Of many and the gain u

the greatest joys of building--plan-
ming just how the home will be after
it is finished.
Undoubtedly the type of home that
has the greatest appeal to the sub
urban and small city dweller is the
bungalow. The convenience of the
bungalow arrangement, the elimina-
ton of the back-breaking work Of
running up and down stairs, and the
cosiness of having all of the rooms
opening one into the other brought
into immediate popularity the bun
galow.
Great Advance Shown.
Since the beginning of this popu-
larity, however, there has been a
great advance in bungalow designing.
One of the best of these latter de-
signs is shown in the illustration ac-
companying this article. This white
bungalow is a new type in home archi-
lecture and is designed for those
whose lots are larger than are ordi-
narily found in the city. 1t might be
called the Dutch colonial type, and,
in its balanced simplicity and grace
of roof line, will be to the middle
West what the two-story Dutch colo
NAL house is to the East.
The bungalow is 80 feet wide and
81 feet deep, while the sun porch,
sleeping porch and kitchen porch,
which are ranged along the back, ex-
tend eight feet farther.
The floor plan was designed with
the idea of saving the steps Of the
housekeeper. The living room is typ
Ical of a bungalow and has that spa
ciousness which makes this type of
home so popular. 1t is 2214 feet long
and 1914 feet wide. One Of its attrac-
tions is a large open fireplace, with
bookcases on either side. Opening off
the living room toward the rear of
the house is the dining room, which is
large also, its dimensions being II by
II feet. Built into the wall between
the two windows is the buffet.

Kitchen Curtains.

The very prettiest way of curtaining
the kitchen window is by using the
double-sash curtains. Dutch curtains,
they are called. Make the two pairs
of crisp muslin, or soft wolfe or cheese
cloth, as preferred, and sew down the
sides and across the bottom q band Of
plain color to match the kitchen color
scheme. These bands may be from
two to four inches wide. The bottom
curtains are usually kept closed, but
the upper ones are always open to
allow sunlight and air to come in and
the bit of color at the edges seems to
be lust what SO many kitchens need to
brighten them up.

of the corsetier is a great art and

British TO Offer New
FiUe Per Cent Loan
tey Assoclated pr..,,

LONDON. May 1.-THE British gov
eminent is about to offer a great new
loan equivalent to five per cent. con-
soils unless this decision is altered
at the eleventh hour, says the Daily
Mail. The newspaper adds that the
loan will be issued within the next
few weeks and will take the form
of consolidated stock bearing four per
cent. interest. The issue price will be
eighty, thus making the yield five per
cent
The loan, according to the Mail will
be repayable by sinking fund to be-
come operative in 1867, and which is
to redeem the loan entirely in 1877.
