Cleaning and Renovation

Renovation is renewal, and means
the cost in time and money to make
like new. II is economy in so far as
the renovation cost Of an article
does not exceed the original cost. In
fact, the cost Of renovation should
be considered well by the housewife
when she purchases the certain
types OF household furnishings.
Beds, bedding. carpets. furniture
and furnishings, should be pur-
chased only after the consideration
OF the cost, depreciation, such as
fading. cracking, roughing and re-
newal cost. Fabrics may justify a
large first cost IL they are Of mater
ial that can be cleaned, or dyed, or
which is worthy Of recruiting. To
pay for quality under such consid-
erations justifies the purchase.
Fabrics
The first and most common type
OF renovation is laundering with
soap and water. The housewife is
so accustomed 10 this process in
connection with her clothing that
she rarely stops 10 consider IL as
renovation. However. when her at
tention is directed 10 the fact that
such things as blankets. curtains,
portiers, etc, which are usually
sent TO the dry cleaning establish
ment, can be renovated by an intel
ligent use ( soap and water, the
process acquires a new significance.
When these furnishings are sent TO
the cleaner, the cost Of renewal
adds materially TO their original
cost, and so may not represent
economy. Careful laundering by the
housewife will eliminate the extra
cost, with no harm TO fabrics. And
the chances are that If so cleaned,
they will be cleaned as frequently
as is necessary TO keep them fresh,
whereas the cost OF dry cleaning
makes its use infrequent.
Fabric stains are unsightly and
make a garment look either old or
untidy If not removed. The stains
that are found on household fabrics
are in most cases possible 10 re-
move. Let the housewife try 10 re-
move them first with clear cold
water, as half the stains may be
washed out in cold water without
further work and with no harm
done 10 the fabric. Stain work out

THE FUTURE OF THE NEGRO:
A NATIONAL ISSUE.

New York.-F'Onee more the pres
enee of the Negro is testing the sin
cerity of our patriotism, the depth of
our love of liberty, the reality of our
justice, and the vitality Of our devo-
ton to government of the people, by
the people, and for the people," de-
clared DR.. James E. Gregg, principal
of Hampton Institute, in his recent
address, delivered before the Society
for Ethical Culture, on "The Future
of the Negro: A National Issue" He
said:
al have an mistaken faith that as
our people met the challenge of sixty
years ago, 50 they will face the search
ing questions of the present years; that
they will accept the responsibility and
make the most of the opportunity
which the presence of our eleven mil
lion Negroes creates; that they will
prove to all the world that when we
declare this is a land of liberty, equal
ity, and fratenity,-with a govern
ment of, for, and by the people,-we
mean what we say.

FIRST NEGRO GRADUATES AT
THADDEUs STEVENS SCHOOL.

Lancaster, Pa.-The dream of Thad-
deus Stevens, who founded a big in
dustrial school in this city, material
lied last week when a Negro was
presented with a diploma
Stevens gave Lancaster the school,
providing students were not barred
for race, color or ereed.''
Edward L. Sebastian was the first
eolored student to graduate. Nine Of
the eleven boys who graduated lost a
years school work by serving in the
army.
Thaddeus Stevens was one Of the
truest friends Of the eolored race in
America. Just before closing his eyes
in death his last request was that his
earthly remains should not be buried
inside of the cemetery Of his native
town for the simple reason that race
prejudice prevented colored people
from being laid to rest within its in
closure.

each child being pathetieally unequal
often in a ratio of So to Sll yearly,
while there is a corresponding dispar-
ity in teachers salaries. If the aim of
education is the removal of ignorance,
it would seem mere common sense to
attack the evil most vigorously-as we
fight disease-where it is at its worst:
NUT this is not yet generally per-
eeived."
DR.. Gregg clearly outlined what some
Southern states and communities are
doing to control mob violence; what
progress has been made in giving Ne
groes the franchise; what the South is
doing to improve educational facilities
for Negroes; and what white people of
the South are doing through fair-deal-
ing to improve race relations.
Courtesy on both sides will take
care of social relationships between all
sorts and races of men," said DR..
Gregg. "The true aristoeracy-the
American kinds that not of birth,
but of worth. Noblesse obnge. We
must treat our fellow-men as brothers:
not with cold, legislative equity, but
with broad sympathy"
