SPECIAL RULING ON RE-
INSTATEMENT OF WAR
RISK INSURANCE

Under a new and very liberal rul-
ing of -far-reaching Importance to
millions Of former service men,, is
sued by Director R. G.. Cholmeley-
Jones of the Bureau Of War Risk
Insurance with the approval of Sec
rotary Of the Treasury Carter Glass,
War Risk (term) Insurance, regard
less of how long it may have been
lapsed or Cancelled, and regardless of
how long the former service man
may have been discharged, may be
re~instated any time before July /,
1920.
The only conditions re-:
% Two monthly premiums on
the mount of insurance to be re
instated must accompany the appli-
cation.
~ The applicant must be in as
good health as at the date of dis
charge, or at the expiration of the
grace period, whichever is the later
date, and so state in the application.
The new ruling is the most impor-
tant liberalization of War Risk In
urance since the passage of the
Sweet bill, and is designed for the
special benefit of service men who
failed to reinstate their insurance
prior to the new law, and who have
been discharged more than eighteen
months.
Ex-service men may still reinstate
their lapsed term insurance at any
time within 10 months following the
month of discharge by complying
with the same conditions. Within
three months following the month
of discharge reinstatement may be
made by simply renting two
months premiums without a formal
application or statement as to health.
Reinstatement may also be made
after 10 months following discharge
as follows: If the insurance has not
been lapsed longer than three

An Egg Shampoo

To the Editor Of Womdn's Page:
Dear Madam-Will you please give
me the following information? How
can white kid slippers be cleaned? How
can white silk stockings and gloves be
washed so as not to turn yellow? How
can skirt be accordion plated at home?
How Is an egg shampoo made? Have
written before concerning the shampoo.
but / am afraid / did not make myself
clear enough. as your answer WASH t
what wished to know.
A CONSTANT READER.
There are cleaners that are sold for
white and light kid shoes. Have you
tried them? They are really safer than
anything you could make or use at home
and they are not very expensive.
White silk will not turn yellow II II
Is washed at night in lukewarm naphtha
suds.
Accordion plating cannot be done at
home. There Is a steam process which
must be gone through In order to form
the plaits and press them in. Only a
PROFESSIONAL plating establishment can
do II.
Your letter about the egg shampoo
must have been misunderstood. Did you
ask how 1t Is made? 1t Is simply an
egg or two eggs beaten until they are
light and then rubbed on the hair just
like any other shampoo. Use cold water
for the not water would harden the
eggs. 1t Is not necessary to put any
thing else with the eggs In order to make
the shampoo. This Is said to be very
beneficial to the hair and makes it light
and fluffy.

you tell me some way of washing or
anything that will tend to keep white
middies from graying? ] might suggesi
that some have blue linen collars ana

that they will not be too stiff to iron

Wash the blouses In warm water and
pure white soap Then rinse them in sew
eral waters and finally in water to
which little bluing has been added,
This should make them white and keep
them white II you do II every time they
are washed. Let them dry in the sun
and do not starch them very much. Per-
haps II would be better to use a cold
starch instead of the boiled kind. This
Is made by dissolving the hard starch In

the desired strength to the starch. Let
the blouse get almost dry before you
iron 1t. for II II is ironed when 1t is

WHILE hundreds of girls brought up

Barbaras idea Of the girl who works

had taken part in many of the wartim5
activities and she had worked hard. but
she had been glad enough to drop It
after It ceased to be fashionable. 1t
wasn't that Barbara disliked to work,
1t was simply that she had not learned
to look at work with the proper perspeC-
tive She had never known that a posi-
ton could be absorbing, that it could
add zest and interest to life. She had
known the glory of COmnptitinn
because everything had come to her too
easily. And so she Jumped the working
girl In one great class with no shadings,
no gradations. She thought of her as
always rushing from place to place. OF
sitting in offices taking dictation, OF
never having much fun, and she was
sorry, but she didn't see what could be
done about IT, Once in n while there
was a girl in Barbara's own set who
broke away from conventions and tool
