Salvation Army Leader Tells
How "Soap-and- Salvation"
Policy Saves Hosts.

The voice Of the blue-clad woman
leader of the Salvation Army. Evan
geline Booth, turned Washington to
its dkerchiefs yesterday afternoon
as it told once more the MOST Won
derful Story in the World"
To a crowded house at the Belasco
Theater the gifted and inspired
daughter of the army's founder un-
folded the dramatic rise of the
strong hearted band from its early
instability to the power for good 1t
now enjoys.
And incidentally her listeners heard
how the gospel of soap and salvation
was making impossible the spread
of Bolshevism in America.
"You laugh at our street-corner
bands. said Miss Booth. awful
music, you say; but without those
bands we could never hope to reach
our annual audience OF $4,000, 900 in
500 cities--33, 0OO, 900 who do not go
to church.
AT these meetings we tell the
story OF Christ and we hammer in The
lessons of law ans order OF uncom-
promising and unfailing. patriotism,
of bodily cleanliness and free, up
right thinking. And / tell you that
when we talk OF soap and salvation,
the Bolshevist has little chance with
the men we reach, for we accompany
our talk with food for empty stom-
achs, shelter for the shivering and
care for the sick. think you never
have realized the real value of what
we accomplish through these poor
little street corner meetings"

How to Clean a CARPET,

Take two cupfuls of ox-gall and add
TO II three pints of boiling water. Rub
this on the carpet with a piece Of fan
mel, and then rub with another flannel
dipped In hot water, or take one cake
of soap, shred II finely. add two table
%spOonfuls Of washing soda and pour
upon it one gallon of boiling water.
Let II cool and then dip a flannel into
the mixture and rub the carpet and
before II dries rub with another fan
mel dipped in clean hot water. Am
mOnla added TO hot water and applied
with a flannel also answers well.
To beat a carpet, beat II on the
wrong side first and then more gently
on the right side. Beware of using
sticks with sharp points, which may
tear the carpet. To remove ink stalnS
from carpets, first soak up all the ink
possible with blotting paper, and then
rub the stain with a flannel dipped In
hot milk. Grease stains can he re-
moved by mixing French chalk and
water to a thick cream, and painting
II over the spots. Let il remain on
until quite dry, place over il a fold Of
cloth and iron with a fairly hot iron:
the grease will pass into the chalk.

SHOWED ENMITY IN BOYHOOD
Encounter Between Youthful crom-
we'll and King Charles | Might
Be Called Prophetic.

Cromwell and Charles | of England
first met when they were children at
Hinchinbrook house, the home Of a
mutual friend of both the king and
divers father. The boys were told
to play together while their elders
talked over affairs of state and fash
ion. They got along well enough for
a while, and then a dispute arose.
The young king was not used to OPP
position to his princely will, and when
Oliver stoutly chung to his rights the
king struck him.
Oliver cared not a bit that the blow
was aimed by "A kings hand. lie
swung his somewhat grimy fist as hard
as he could, and caught Charles on
the nose with the to-be-eXpected re-
suit. Blood flowed In quantities, and
the young prince set up Il great howl.
Servants came running, and all might
have gone i'll with the careless COM
moner had not Charles father taken
"A hand and declared that the blow
was 10 be forgiven, as it was given
in defense of a right, and his sol must
learn TO know that right was greater
than kings.
