AT last you can make your ehernises, "A your vests and knickefs lust the
 colors you want.
 You wash them in Twink and they are softer pink or lavender, lovelier yellow than you have ever been able to get before.
 Twink is made by new method for producing colors that makes it possible to get more exquisite shades than have ever before been obtained.
 The Twink flakes whip up into a father in boiling hot water. You put in your faded camisole, your yellowed knickers. And when you take them out of the bright suds the camisole is delicate lavender-the knickers have all their fresh pink color again.
 The Twink colors always turn out right, clear and even, and SO fast you can wash your camisole several times before it has to be Twinked again.

 In less than two weeks the whole loan had been subscribed, the majority in cold cash, paid over in almost every case at mass meetings. The money is to be all spent in this country for farm machinery, rolling stock and raw pro ducts for Poland's factories, as we'll as seed and live stock. for her twenty y-odd- million acres of farm lands.
 A member of the loan committee. which consists of Polish banker and three newspaper men, tells of the diff culties before the committee, and after the loan was started the astonishing success with which it met

 The subscriber answered that he had not yet, heard from toll line. Central withdrew and the subscriber kept on waiting with the receiver to his ear and his eye on the clock as he wanted to catch trolley car at 1.15. In another minute central again asked for Mum line had not answered. "Ill get toll line" she answered
 At 1.0s 1-2 toll line got on the job for the first time. Troll line,' came the voice over the wire to the waiting sub scriber.
 "Yes, shsuld think it was tins for toll line" ee
 Have you been waiting longr
 Three minutes, I've had my eye on the clock"
 You have not been waiting as long as that for answered you as soon as you first called"
 T guess I know whether you answered or not"
 Well, you must understand this is a very busy time."
 Busy? At 1 o'clock on a Sunday af- ternoon ?'
 'Thatll be all I'll get your cali"
 Again ensued period of waiting for the subscriber with the receiver to his ear.
 At 1.15 not another sound had come over the wire, and the subscriber had to give it up, hang up the receiver and catch the trolley car on the fly.
 Twice later in the afternoon toll line calls for New Haven were put in by the same subscriber and handled by the ep- orators with reasonable promptness"
