To wash all wool finnnels, sweaters
and blankets. by n method that will
prevent them from shrinking, is the
ambition of every careful housewife.
II is said that this may be accomplish
ed by washing them in cold water In
which borax and white soap have been
dissolved. The proportion seems to
be about level tablespoonful of borax
and one-fourth of cake of soap to
two or three gallons OF water. depend
Ing upon the degree of hardness of
the water. TO wash sweater, use
enough water to cover Il generously.
Let the sweater soak an hour then
squeeze IL out, but do not wiring 1t.
II necessary put through second wa
ter which has been softened with borax
and white soap. Afterward rinse very
thoroughly In several cold waters and
put through wringer. Then pull 1t
into shape and dry 1t. Blankets and
flannels may be successfully washed
In this way.
1t Is said fluffy, knitted garments of
wool should not be hung up to dry.
This process for washing them and
then drying them so that they will
look like new, Is given by some au-
thorities. Make warm suds of wa
ter and white soap; wash the garment
and rinse thoroughly. Run through a
wringer and place In n pan In which
towel has been laid. Take the gar
ment out occasionally and shake Il,
thus allowing 1t to dry gradually and
with many shakings.
To Wash White China silk.
White china silk, so much used for
waists and underclothing. Is apt to
turn yellow in the wash. To prevent
this, one must take precautions. Soap
must not be rubbed on china silk gar
ments nor ammonia used to soften the
water In which they are washed. Cut
up any white soap and mix It with
hot water until jelly Is formed.

Very Poor Lubricant.

FVot GupfICdUNs
"Oil, diluted with gasoline, becomes
a mighty poor lubricant and will
leave the cylinders dry IL allowed to
continue unchecked. This will cause
wear and necessitate the replacing Of
some vital part of the internal mech
anlsm of the motor. Wrist pins, cyl
inders and pistons are very apt to suf.
fer from this gasoline leakage--with
great danger of burnt out connecting
rods and main bearings.
Motorists can avoid this trouble
and gain assurance Of perfect seal
between piston and cylinder walls by
the use of a good motor oil, of course,
and the frequent draining of the oil
In the crank case.
"If owners will drain Off the old oil
In crank case often-say once every
two weeks In cold weather, and once
a month during the summer-and re-
plenlsh with fresh oil, there need be
no fear of the oil deteriorating and
losing its original lubricating qualities.
Five dollars spent this way may save
a bill of from fifty to one hundred
dollars in season for necessary re-
pairs. The frequent changing of oil
In the crank case during a period Of
seven months would not amount to the
price of one piston-and 1t only takes
ten minutes time to make the change"

The fads and fancies of fashion are
sponsors for the hemless skirt which

skirts made In bordered fabrics.

VALUE OF POULTRY MANURE
Increased Supply Of Fresh veeetables
May Be Obtained BY Applying
to Garden Soil.

The droppings from fowls, II care
fully saved and applied to the garden
soil. will increase the supply of fresh
vegetables. Poultry manure is rich in
nitrogen and is well worth the effort
1t requires to save and apply. The
droppings from an average farm flock
will amount to considerable fertility
during the year.

in spring styles and this suit bears

WANT OPINION
 OF ALBANIANS

Gopitza. Albania. May 5, (By MaiD An American commission has been here to determine what the opinion of the population Of Albania is with regard to their national future.
 During the great war Albania was entered by the troops of seven na- tions. Three quarters of the country was held by the Austrians until last November. As a result of this ten years strife Albanian villages are heaps of ruins and the country de- nuded of everything of value.
 An interesting feature of the visit of the American mission was their meeting with the Albanian virgins. The betrothal of children is stili cus- fomary in Albania but If, when the time for the marriage comes the be- trothed girl refuses the mane and swears eternal virginity she may ac- quire property and have a mans privileges, including that of assocfat- ing with them, voting and smoking.
 We don't want women's rights. ono of the virgins explained to an American delegate. we already have them here in Albania."
