Timing Will Temporarily
Improve Silks and Laces

Sometimes, especially with light
colored silks and Georgette crepe, 1t
is convenient to give delicate tinrs by
some simple method. "Bluing" ana
"pinking" are most often resorted TO.
The United States Department OF Ag-
riculture finds that, as a rule, the color
obtained by tinting is not SO perma-
nent as that froh dyeing. There are
SOAP dyes on the market which may
be used for this purpose, or tlntlng
water may be made by soaking coiored
crep or blotting paper, or by mixing a
few drops of colored ink In clear
water. 3,
A glass of tinted water held to the
light will show about the same color
that it will give to the material;
Red crepe wrapping paper VIII
easily impart enough color to basin
of water to restore faded pink crepe
de chine waist to its original shade
Violet or green ink or ordinary Diue,
ing will act similarly. A small amount
of regular dye can also be used WITH
out boiling to tint silks. The color OF
deep cream or ecru lace may be re-
stored by tinting with tea. Cottec Is
sometimes used, but it is less desif-
able as it leaves an odor and oes not
give so clear tint. A cheap graae
of black tea is good for tlntlhg' or
leftover tea may be used.

CIean-Up Squad at Work

In spite of their contract with the
rov-Tnment during the World War
for, CT soldiers living in the mount
ain of Southwestern Virginia and
West Virginia are chary, and in some
cases, almost afraid of the govern
ment's intentions toward them in re-
spect to compensation for Injuries re-
ceived in service. In many OF the
hill! communities, according to mem,
bers Of the Cleanup Squad" and
other agents of the Veterans Bureau
operating in the territory, the men
believe government to be either pen
sion that goes to all men who saw
service, or a "slick move" on the part
of the government to get them back
into the army.
The Cleanup Squad" operating in
West Virginia has far outdistanced
the other squads operating in the
Fourth District for the number OF
new compensation claims originated.
This is laid to the lack of previous
information in the hill country. IN
southwestern Virginia, where the slr-
pinian Cleanup Squad" has now I'm
ished it's work. surprising condition

was found.
In Buchanan, Virginia, men came
into the Veterans Bureau squad OIL
flee with marked disabilities received
in service, and filed their first claims,
in most cases, three years after they
received their injuries. In one case
a man who had MS face almost blown
away by gasoline explosion in
France told the Cleanup Squad" Of
ficers he did not know he was entitled
to compensation because he wasn't

but just got blew up trying to put a
fire out in Gang"
In many parts Of the hill country
the communities look upon the GOV
eminent compensation as pension.
They did not see why one man was
getting eight dollars a month; an
other sixteen, and still another close
to eighty dollars a month. In these
communities they did moi understand
why all the men who saw service
were not getting their full pension"
When they were told that even some
disabled men would have 60 make APP
plication before the government could
know they were entitled to compen-
sation and pay it, they thought the
government was getting up a new
draft list which would be used for
getting them back in the army.
In other communities just the oppo-
site idea prevailed. 1t was thought

West Virginia for the U. S. Veterans
Bureau has had a number of thrilling
experiences during the past two years.
For lack of trans ortation facilities
she has had to do much travelling
On horseback and on foot. On one
occasion she was picked UP by :
groupe of men in an automobile who
recognized her and offered to tote"
her some six or eight miles. She got
in the car and minded her own bust
ness, but she had to rest her heels
high on several demijohns of corn

trip while deliveries were being made.

Virginia has just been completed with
very satisfactory results, and the sit

that unless a man had been a mark
cd hero, or shot in battle, he was not
entitled to anything.
One of the difficulties met up with
by U. S. Veterans Bureau agents was
a fear, at first, in the 'moonshine'
localities, that they might be "reven-
ooers." Much of this fear has now
been overcome. 1t has had to be. A
few months ago men needing to be
sent to the hospitals for "gas" after
effects and other diseases contracted
in service would not consent to put
ting themselves into the hands OF
government agents, for fear the gov
eminent was trying to put them in
jail.

Black Sumac Leaves.

Rural residents of regions in Western Pennsyl-
vana, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland and North
Carolina will reap an uncultivated harvest this
and fall when the leaves and fresh branches of
black sumac become ready for in tanning and
dyeing.
Manufacturers of domestic sumac extract inform
the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of
Agriculture, that they will need this year Between
900 and 400 carloads of the product In the sections
mentioned small-scale gathering is feasible, because
storekeepers generally act to buy the
and sell it to the carload dealers. While sumac is
generally distributed throughout the United States
its purchase through local dealers is not organized
in other States, SO that manufacturers buy in
carload lots.
Only black will be accepted this year, and
the leaf must be bright 1t is understood that deal
ers either will not buy low grade at all, will
terially cut the price it. Frst-grade sumac must
contain berries and less than rs per cent Of stalks.

livered loose to the country dealer will approximate

not to have the hog lot is pointed out and other
suggestions the control and eradication OF this
disease given in cafet published by the United
States Department OF Agriculture Hog lots should
be located away from streams and highways. Free
range, streams, irrigation canals, etc, help in the
spread OF cholera outbreaks. Don't visit neighbors
hog lots allow neghbors to visit yours ii they
have sick hogs. Infection may be carried by teams
and wagons from highways; don't drive into hog lots.
Isolate for at least two weeks all stock hogs
and those just returned from exhibitions and sales.
Don't borrow or lend hogs for breeding purposes if
cholera is in the community. Burn to ashes or bury
four feet deep all animals that die the farm and
the unused internal organs of slaughtered animals,
since they attract dogs, which may carry infection.
Careful attention the feeding and handling Of the
herd after immunz alton is an important matter.

w all forest fires, the records of the Forest
Service of the United States Department OF
Agriculture show that a large number originate
through the carelessness of happy-go-lucky tourists
The Forest Service is anxious to encourage the
of the national forests as recreation grounds, 1t CO..
operates with plans for building fine roads through
the forests and establishes free camping
grounds, where shelter water and frewood may be
obtained. Many Of these camps located main
automobile highways and easily reached Some
States provide tourist guide to the forest and
camp sites. About 100000 people. it is estimated
the forests each year during the vacation
At Eagle Camp Ground on the Columbia River High
way in the Oregon national forest $4,000 tourists
registered last year.
Some OF the campers however, do not seem to
appreciate the pleasures and privileges afforded to
the touring public. They dishgure the scenery with
rubbish and filth; they disregard game laws and pol
lutte streams, but their and most frequently
recurring oense, according to forest officers, is the
starting of destructive forest fires by carelessness
either with camp fires with smoking.
A lighted cigarette thrown into dry leaves or
needles may start FIRE that will spread for miles.
A campfire fully extinguished may be the means
of destroying valuable timber which has taken hum
dreds of years to reach maturity. The reports OF
forest rangers are flied with dramatic accounts of
the work involved in controlling such fires and also
in detecting and bringing the culprits before judge
after following the very slight clues obtainabe in
deserted camp site Sometimes an old bottle or
pocket handkerchief will reveal the original possessor
who did not put out his fire. Sometimes particular
make of automobile tire be traced for miles and
the careless camper brought to justice. :
No fines, however on the part of the local mag
istrate will restore the burned While forest
rangers vgilant and alert to catch careessness
and prevent ncpient 6res the real need the forest
ers say is for the development of more conscience
on the part of the public which uses the national
forests 1t is greatly desired by the Forest Service
that all the 47 national forests from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and from gulf to border, be used and
enjoyed to the fullest extent by many people as
possible. This involves universal adoption OF the
slogan, "Be sure your fire is outl"

Standard tuberculosis Care.

TROM data collected from every available source
r the United States Public Health Service has
= prepared and published plans and specihca-
tons for model sanitarum for tuberculosis patients,
especially those from the world Where possible
these plans will be followed in future service hospital
construction; and where conditions will allow
act adherence they will be used so far possible
The plans group the administrative buildings in
the center around three sides of open court. Fac
ing from fourth side, roadway, stands the
nhrmary, its wards radiatng away in wheel-spoke
fashion. On the opposite side of the administration
buildings, close up, is auditorium and open-ar
theater. short distance beyond this the wards for
semi-ambulant patients disposed along concave
arc; and little farther away the wards for the
ambulant patients. The officers. nurses and attend
ants quarters severally grouped here and there
the right; and the industrial buildings (power
house, etc.) grouped the left. Provision is
made for occupational therapy and for vocational
training for selected patients.
A concerted effort is being made by the United
States Public Health Service and the National Park
Service, to make the national parks of the United
States safe and sanitary for the vast numbers of
Americans who have recently taken to touring them.
Before the war, when tourists were fewer and most
of them travelled stage lines and stayed at park
hotels, the sanitary problem simple Since the
war, however, the great majority travel in automo-
bies and camp out, enormously complicating all
health matters. -
Since early in January the United States Public
Health Service the request OF and in cooperation
with the National Park Service has been preparing
for the work; and on May IS, it sent its first sani-
tary engineers into Yellowstone, Mount Rainier Yo-
semitic and Grand Canyoun parks. Other engineers,
engineers who have finished work their earlier
assignments, will go to other parks. Only in the
largest and most popular parks, such the Yellow
stone will it be necessary for sanitaran to remain
all summer.
The work consists in examination and protection
Of water supplies, disposal of garbage and sewage,
inspection of milk and food and the way they are
handled providing for camp policing and sanitation,
and prevention of malaria. Malaria carrying mosqui
toes have been found in Yosemite Park, and special
efforts will be made to eradicate them there and to
prevent them from acquiring residence" in other
parks.
