SUGGESTIONS

T" HE inexperienced ironer often
fails in ironing embroidered
blouses and collars. The OBJ
ject should be to keep the de-
sign impressed. To do this, go
to work in the following way:
Fold a[Turkish towel into four.
place the article to be ironed on
it, right side downward, and iron;
you will find the result most sat
isfactery. The same method should
be adopted in ironing blouses and
other garments with pearl but
tons. The buttons sink into the
towel, and this keeps them from
breaking.
To clean rusty steel rub with
salt and hot vinegar, then polish
with flannel.

Madrd.-Spain is in the travail of a
revolution. A military coup de'etat,
originating in Barcelona, has spread
rapidly through various districts and
provinces of the country and has
aroused the deepest concern to the
government.
AT the head of the movement is the
captain general of Barcelona, Prime
Rivera. man of strong Influence and
powerful associations. Behind him
are the officers of the army, who have
been chatting for many months under
the ignnminy of the Moroccan campaign,
and with the officers are the rank and
file who seem ready to follow their
leaders to the end.
After protruCted meetings of the cab
met message was sent 10 General
Primo Rivera requesting him to aban-
don the movement for patriotic reas-
ons, but he absolutely refused to do SO.

who is believed TO be particularly OBJ

1t is said that the military element
in Madrid is maintaining 10 pacific
attitude, not wishing to disturb the
life of the nation. Most of the troops
in Madrid are confined to their quar-
ters, and only some small groups are
to be found discussing reports of the
revolt. Apparently the bOurse was not
affected, and there was no drop in
government securities.
Capt. Gen. Primo Rivers explains
that his object is to relieve the coun-
try of the immemoriul policies of the
present government, and declares that
the troops in Madrid and throughout
Spain hope for decision by the king
removing the ministry, which is preju-
dicial to the nation.
Conditions are tranquil in various
parts of Spain, although disturbed in
some of the provinces, which are cut
off from communications.
