WAKING IS BEST
F0RPRESERV|NG
yOURL|N0LEUM
Looks Better and Lasts Longer
With Less Soap and
Water.

II more people knew that limo
leum was nothing more nor less
than a preparation of linseed oil
and cork they would do less scrub
bing with soap and water and use
more wax. Common sense directs
hat the constant use OF water on
cork is going to dry 1t out and cause
II to crack and warp. while II soap
and water are applied sparingly and
the linoleum given a thin veneer Of
wax IL will last a lifetime.
As a matter of fact. a piece Of
lnoleum was recently exhibited that
had been on the floor OF a public
building for twenty years and less
than a sixteenth of an inch had
worn away because II had been
carefully waxed and polished every
week or ten days.
A very excellent electric machine
has been invented for scrubbing and
finishing floors and II works like q
charm on linoleum. Warm water
and a neutral soap or soap powder
are used to scrub the floor which
scrubbing is also done by the cleo
trio machine. After II is thoroughly
dry a liquid wax is applied, work
ing II up and down and from side 10
side so that none of the surface is
overlooked. Then the scrubbing
brush is removed from the machine
and a polishing brush adjusted and
guided over the floor up and down
and then crosswise so that every
square inch of the linoleum gets a
good polish.
This treatment not only keeps
floors looking their best but II pre-.
serves the floor covering and gives

LAMPS SHOULD
GIVE ROOM SNAP,
DECLARES ELSIE
Famous Interior Decorator Dis
cusses Need for Stressing
Contrast in Shades.

Lamps and their shades are the
sauce piquante in decoration" writes
Elsie De Wolfe, the well-known dec.
orator. in a recent number OF a mag
azine devoted to beautiful interiors.
'"They give the final snap and indi.
yiduality to a room, and II Is a wise
hostess who realizes half the battle
Ia won when an interior is well and
attractively lighted"
Miss De Wolfe suggests, as q gen.
eral rule, that shades should be in
harmony with, or In striking con-
trast to, the lamp base and still con-
form to the general color scheme of
the room, perhaps accenting one par.
ticular note. AS an example Of this
she describes a room in which the
furnishings are simple and the hang
ings plain. These hangings are of
sand-colored silk, bound with Chi
nese red. Quite the most interest.
ing spots in the room are two lamps
with parchment shades in a wonder
full tone Of this same red-red by
day and red with the glow of orange
through II by night. Her second ex.
ample is a room with pale gray wall
and touches of orange here and
there in the hangings. The lamps in
this room are Of gray chiffon lined
with orange. BY day they are quite
gray, but at night they give off q
warm, mellow glow.
Lamps, according to this expert
enced decorator. arc among the
trifles that spell individuality and
bring TO a room fresh interest and
grace and the individual touch.

General Outlets For
Electric Wires
Safest

When a man has to climb on
a chair or a ladder to screw
an extension light plug in .
chandelier then it is. time to
get mad. 1t may be his fault
nine times out Of ten; he has
failed to act on the rule that
there should be an average Of
at least three outlets per room,
including both lighting and con-
venience outlets; but that
doesn't help his temper. Nor
does it help matters for his
wife to say, 81 told you So"
every time she blows out a fuse
when she attaches the curling
iron, the smoothing iron and a
grill while running all lights
full blast in one room.
The house that mas no con-
venience outlets in the base
boards is sometimes a precari-
GUS place to enter in the dark.
The living room of such a place
may look like a spider web with
its unsightly extension cords
draped around. There are cabi-
nets and closets which show
glimpses of coils of extensions
when they are opened. The ex-
tension cord trade is a useful
one; but no one can say much
for the beauty Of such contriv-
ances.

CLEANERS GET
ALL DUST WITH
L|TTLEEFF0RT
Hose Sucks Dirt Right Out
Registers. Furnace Pipes,
and Other Nooks.

No matter how hard a person
works by the old broom and dust
pan method. there is always dirt left
in a rug. But without any effort
on the part OF the housekeeper, the
electric cleaner gets all of that
dirt and imbedded grit.
And the attachments are Just as
valuable as the cleaner itself. With
the modern machine. it is no trouble
to attach and detach the different
tools.
The omnivorous hose sucks dust
right out of the registers and fur.
mace pipes. Attached to the bag
side Of the cleaner, II effectively dis
perses the dust that is bound to
collect in bookcases. on the felt Of
the piano hammers, behind the ra.
diators, and on carved furniture.
A thin edged tool with a long de-
tachable handle whisks the dirt from
high moldings, inaccessible crevices
and ridges, woodwork, mirrors and
picture frames.
Overstuffed furniture may be
pumped" and draperies and hang
ings may be made fresh and pre-
sentable without an expensive trip
to the cleaners.
In the bedrooms, the attachments
will clean out dresser drawers. shelv-
ing, closet space, and best of all, re.
juvenate mattresses and pillows.
And though spring has always
been the orthodox time for embark
ing on thorough-going and painful
renovating. with the modern electric
suction. the housekeeper finds diff
ficult tasks so easy that for her
thorough cleaning is a daily affair.

REFoRMAToRY MAKES
GIRLS WEAR 'EM SHORT

BEDFORD, N. Y, Aug. 21.-Short
skirts used to be the style-now
they are a form Of penance-at least
in the Bedford reformatory for way
ward girls. The inmates keep up
with the styles in the newspaper
and when they learned that Paris
had put the Indian sign on short
garments they set up a protest
against them.
The superintendent was adamant.
He told the girls that II they had
been good they would now be at
home where they could wear any
kind of dresses they desired. instead
of being guests of the State of New
York, where regulations are regula-
tions.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 81.
The submarine terror of
peace times is about to be
checkmated.
> The teredo boring destroyer
of piling, which is credited
with having done a million
dollars worth of damage to
structures at salt water ports,
may be definitely put out Of
business through the efforts
of a little band of scientists
who for two years have work
ed ceaselessly in an effort to
find some method of destroy
ing the little pest that eats
his way through the stanch-
est pilings and destroys
wharves, breakwaters and
marine foundations Of all
sorts.
Discover New Chemical.
These scientists, who have been
conducting experiments under the
direction Of Prof. j. S. Burd,
head of the department of agricul-
tural chemistry at the University
of California, Berkeley, are re-
ported to have found a chemical
which is death dealing to the
teredo.
Hitherto almost every sort Of
paint, oil and chemical had been
tried by port authorities without
avail. The menace Of the teredo
had become so general on the
Pacific coast the Government re-
ports fixed the damage at $15,000,-
900 a year, with prospects OF its
growing worse.
The teredo is peculiarly Pacific
port pest, although flourishing else
where. The warm waters Of the
Japan current, which flows along
the Pacific coast, is particularly to
the liking of the little marine borer.
Ship owners have long had trouble
with the marine pest through its
propensity to eat away ship bot
toms.
New Railroader.
So serious has been its inroads
on piling that 1t has developed a
new type OF railroad man-the under
water inspector. Alois Neubert Is
the only known submarine rail-
roader." He is employed by a large
railroad company having extensive
water front properties. He works
entirely by feel" doing most OF his
work Of inspecting piling Of wharves
and bridges and feeling over
underwater areas where construction
work is planned, in muddy harbor
water, where the .sense Of eyesight
Is of little use. HI devotes most Of
his time to locating teredo inroads
before they become serious enough
to cause disaster.
Neubert, from experience on many
jobs in tropical waters, says the pop
ular impression of the man-eating
shark Is exaggerated. The wolf
of the sea" will not usually molest
man unless injured or harassed,
Neubert SAYS.

FAvoRs HIGHER STANDARD.
For Legal Profession Declares William
G. McAdoo.

Washington, d. G., Feb. 24.-Law'
yers who have won distinction and q
high place at the bar through native
ability and industry and without a col
lege education may be expected to Of
fer with certain degree of hesitancy
their approval Of the "exacting stand
ard which the American Bar Associa-
tion seeks to impose" upon future
members Of the profession, William G..
McAdoo OF New York, declared to-day
before the National Conference Of Bar
associations.
He said he had been unable "to go
to law school" but was obliged at the
age Of Is to get into the world and
make his own living, but that the rec
ommendation Of the American Bar
association that future members of
the profession be obliged not only take
a three year course in law school but,
in addition. have at least two years
college training, was worthy of sup
port by all those interested in the inn
Of legal standards.
Mr.. McAdoo declared that the value
Of highest moral and ethical standards
couldnot be overestimated when the
of the lawyer was SO
grave and the function he performs is
so vital to the. interest of the client.
Such esponsibilities, he added, make it
that professional education
be Of the highest standard.
