GIVE ATTENTION TO CLOTHES
Washing and Pressing Of Linen and
Cotton Suitings Can Be Done
Quite Nicely at Home. .

Cotton and linen suits can be
pressed and laundered at home. Dust
can generally be shaken from them,
for they do not hold 1t as wool and silk
do. Brushing tends to rub the dirt
into cotton and linen fibers. Heavy
cotton and linen suitings should be
pressed on the wrong side or with a
thin cloth spread over them. This
makes them look more like new and
prevents shine on seams and marks of
the iron.

Death Kneu Of Sayin Rock

Visitors to New HaTeuS west Shore," the famous Savin Rock, can- not help but note the passing of th.s summer resort and amusement paris as the mecca of all of Conneetacuf in the good old summer time Saria Rock is still considerable amuse- ment center, but fires, changes. ana. it may be said with a whisper, pro Intuition, have left their mark on the famous resort.
 The peak of the resorts popularity was reached several years ago. bs- fore fire razed the Wilcox theatre Il the shore front, and Jackson's dantN of it's kind in the East Neither was rebuilt Some of the shore front concessions started to deter1orate about this time. and the racer. built in the grove, gained much popularity, being a novel riding device, with thrill
 Mitche1rs thea4ss Ca the grove, and the Aerodrome theatre in the White City, gave way to other concessions, leaving the Orpheum in the White City the only theatre at the Rock, or in the town of Orange for that mat ter.
 Several well known resorts and some of the ''pep'' gradually disap- peared with prohibition, and IL was a sad day for the Rock when the Savin Rock ball park was abandoned and the new Weiss field built in Hampton by the New Haven baseball club. Many persons never see the Rock who formerly were forced there to see ball game, oftimeS accompanied by their families, who would spend their time taking in the amuSementS while friend husband was throwing pop bottles at the umpire.
 The White City made a big play for popularity last season, with startling new roller coaster. but new amusements at Walnut Beach kept some away from he Rock. The fire hat last fall swept away Bishops CoIonade, the most famous shore dinner place in Connecticut. took away from the Rock a class of pat ronage that will never return unless the place is rebuilt, which seems un- likely.

The last blow to strike the Rock was the fire three | weeks ago that took away the Or pheum theatre and damaged the White City coaster.
