Cleaning Tools

Before buying any device. ask your
self: Will it pay for itself in the long
run by saving time and strength or
wear and tear? Will it make some
especially dsagrceable task less un-
pleasant?
Long handles on brooms, brushes and
dustpans save the back,
A cleaning cloth should be soft and
loosely woven, so that it will take up
dirt easily and itself be easy to clean.
A duster takes up dirt better if few
drops of water or oil have been sprin-
kled on it. Beware of too much mois-
wiping very dirty places, use soft paper.
cotton waste or rags, which may be
thrown away.
Keep your cleaning things together in
a convenient place. Put them away
clean. Hang brushes, mops and brooms
when not in use.
Clean string mops by shaking over n
damp newspaper or a can. Never
shake in the open air unless you are
sure the dirt will not trouble you or
your neighbors. Wash occasionally in
hot water, with washing soda or soap.
Dry quickly. Sprinkle few drops of
oil on oiled mops.
Clean carpet sweepers frequently.
Empty box on damp newspaper. and
use old scissors and buttonhook or

from brushes. Keep bearings oiled.

No Short Cut to Singing

TO the Editor OF Womun's Page:
Dear Madam-My friends tell me 1
have fine voice and they say ! ought
TO cultivate it, but I haven't any time
to go to music school because I work
during the day time and I'm occupied at
night with other things. Please publish
in your paper what things to avoid to
cultivate my voice. Is there any remedy
to take in cultivating my voice? I can
lead song in a quartet fine.
ANXIOUS ONE.
There is no way to cultivate the voice
but to have it trained by some one who
has experience in this art. Why don't
you join some sort of a choral society
class that does not meet too often? This
would give you at least some training.

All sthru the winter months the

possible for Germany to subscribe
or which could be enforced by
the allies. The fight reached its
climax in March.

the treaty was 20 severe that the
British and even some OF the
French delegates now agree IL is
impossible TO carry them out.
Impossible Terms
The president. according 10 his
associates. finally agreed 10 the
treaty In its present form in the
belief that the effort 20 put II into

was impossible OF retaliation. even

Attacks such as that made by
Senator Lodge are not regarded as

reason why the treaty should not
be given out and that such at
tacks are embarrassing.
II is pointed out that while the

reasons for Withholding the text.

The cefeat OF the strikers came
about by a resolution introduced
asking that the union indorac their
action. These I'm favor OF backing
up the striko asserted that the time
for action had arrived. and that the
men on strike should be vigorously
supported.
Defeat Request
Opposition 20 supporting the strike
was voiced by a majority OF the
speakers. who said that such drastic
steps wcrw not in order at present
by an overwhelming votr. the res
olution asking that the walkouts be
Endorsed was defeated
Following this action. the union
passed resolutions ordering the men

III Monday TO return.
The men went on strike because
OF dissatisfaction with the Macy
scale. This n the scale that Is being
used In paying all shipyard workers
here. altho II has been rejected by
this Metal Trades council.
They walked out I'm five OF the
yards without the consent OF tho
union, and afterward the union re-
fused TO sanction their action. The
Metal Trades council also refused to
support the strikers.
AltAo the steps taken by the boil
ermakeis Friday night means that
the majority OF the strikers will re-
turn to work. or have others put in
their places. II does not completely
clear the strike problem In the yards.
Engineers are out In several of the
yards, and the action taken last
night will not affect them. Their
walkout was occasioned by disagree
ment over awards OF the Macy scale.
The decision 10 return TO work
was influenced by the fact that the
yards we're being forced to cut down
their personnel in all crafts ms the
result OF slowing up of work thru
the sporadic strikes.
The Ames yard officials an.
nounced Friday that IL the strike
continued they would be forced to re-
lease 500 men. IL was even rumored
that continuance OF the strike would
result in n general shut down OF
plants here.
