Her latest plan results in Louisville,

the life of the "boys" who make their
home with Mrs. Marshall.
More than 100000 service men were
cared for at the canteen presided over
by Mrs. Marshall during the war. Her
experiences with the soldiers and sail

most dangerous. He put his knowl-
edge of anarchists at the governments

refuse to lift your hat when the flag
went by during war times took real
nerve, but Taylor did ii as part of his
duty with the secret service. Through
these and similar acts he got to know
those who plotted to blow up NUM-
ton plants and waterways. This in
formation was used to thwart anar-

NEW WAY TO REMOVE
STAINS ON LEATHER
Gasoline or Other Grease Sol
vents Spread Spots.
Department of Agriculture Recon-
mends Coating With Thick Solu-
tion OF Rubber Solvent That
EVaporates Easily.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture
Leather goods that have been made
unsightly by grease spots and that
cannot be cleaned by ordinary clean
ing solutions can often be restored by
methods developed by the bureau Of
chemistry of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. When shoes,
travelling bags, and similar articles
come in contact with butter, lard,
vaseline, linseed oil, salad oil, lubri-
eating oil, or anything of the same
sort, ugly stains are produced, espe
cially if the leather is of light color,
and attempts to remove them with
gasoline or other ordinary grease sol
vents result in spreading them.
The method recommended by the de-
partment consists in coating the spots
with a thick solution of rubber in a
solvent that evaporates readily and
peeling off the coating when it is al
most dry. In some cases it may be
necessary to repeat the operation sew
eral times. A solution of unvulcan-
lied rubber para or Ceylon) in car
bon bisulphide, in the proportion of
/ part to 10 parts by weight, as we'll as
some of the prepared rubber cements,
has been found satisfactory. 1t is
important that the cement be very
thick and quick drying, and that pure
solvent be used. Since the fumes of
carbon bisulphide are very inf1am-
mable and poisonous, it is necessary
TO work away from flames and where
there is good ventilation. To keep
the rubber from adhering too tightly
the leather Immediately around the
spot may be wet slightly just before
applying the rubber solution.
Milk produces spots on leather on
account of the fat it contains. In addi-
ton it often leaves a white residue,
and sometimes a dark stain. The
white residue may be removed with
soap and water, but no way Is known
for taking out the brown stain. The
only way to improve the appearance
of leather so damaged is to dye it
darker than the original color
AIy oil or grease spot should be re-
moved as soon as possible. 1t is espe-
cially important that spots caused by
linseed and other paint oils be re-
moved before the oil dries, since the
oxidized oils are but slightly soluble
