potash is efficacious. but must be used
carefully-the hands must be pro-
tected and the potash must not be al
lowed to touch porcelain. or porce-
iatn-lined sinks, because it may de-
stroy the glaze. One pound of crystals
dissolved in two quarts of water
should be poured down the drain.
About half an hour later the pipe

Caustic soda is not desirable, because
1t is likely to unite with the grease
and form hard soap that is difficult
TO remove from the pipes.
To scour Fixtures.
Fine scourers may be used on all
fixtures. For porcelain and enamel
ed-iron fixtures kerosene and whiting
are especially good; the kerosene cuts
the grease, and the whiting supplies
the abrasion. Some of the CONNER
cial cleansing preparations used for
enamel and porcelain fixtures con-
tain scourers so gritty that they
scratch the surface. and thus make
the work of cleaning gradually hard
er. Nothing coarser than whiting
should be used
Bathroom fixtures should be clean
ed daily. Tubs and bowl should be
scrubbed with fine scourer or with
water containing a little Kerosene,
rinsed with clear hot water and wiped

Sections In Variance.


Looking at the country as q whole
the figures show that, In spite of the
tendency OF rented homes to in
crease in proportion to owned homes,
there are sections of the country that
have successfully combated this. The
middle Atlantic States, including New
York and New Jersey, have even in
creased their proportion OF owned
homes. The New England section held
its own. varying only tenth OF l per
cent. In the south Atlantic states the
owned homes increased 1.10 per cent
In the east south central states there
was also a very slight increase, but
in the rest of the country the gain
OF the rented home is noticeable. In
the Pacific states. for instance, the
percentage of owned homes fell in
those ten years from SO 90 47.9 per
cent.
In 1910 North Dakota stood in the
lead with 15 per cent owned homes.
At that time New Mexico ranked Sec
ond with 20 per cent, while tied for
third place was South Dakota and
Idaho with 81 per cent. In the ten
years that followed rented homes
in 1920 North Dakota still led, even
duced to 65 per cent. Wisconsin
came in second in 1920 with 63 per
cent, followed by South Dakota with
81 per cent, and Minnesota. Montana,
Idaho and Utah each with 60 per cent.
The figures show that the greatest
gains in percentage of owned homes
has been made in the states OF New
Jersey. Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary
land and the District of Columbia.

! IN HOME OWNERS
More Than 1000, 900 Rented
Houses in Excess of>0thers
Noted in Census Data. !.

There are approximately 100000
more rented homes in the United
States today than there are homes
owned wholly or in part, according
to figures furnished by the federal
census bureau. These figures show
that out of more than 24,0OO,e00
homes in this country at the present
time about 81 per cent are rented
homes.
While the variation is not alarm
ingly large, it represents a tendency
which has been manifestins itself
slowly but surely for the past thirty
years. Although the increase in the
total number of homes has been
fairly constant, amounting to ap-
nroximatelS 100000 a decade, the
spread between the number of rented
and owned homes has widened during
that period. Thirty years ago there
were about 100000 more rented homes
cd homes led by a little more than
100000. In 1920 Kthe number of
owned homes has Jagged more than
100000 behind.
More Incumbered Homes.
A still further difference is noted
between those homes which are free
and those which are incumbered.
Here, too. there has been a steady
and perceptible advance in the pro-
portion OF incumbered homes, but the
greatest increase in the number or
these has taken place during the last
ten years. In 1880 y per cent of the
owned homes were free of incumbrance;
in 1900 this had been reduced to 67.2 per
cent, and lin 1920 to 61.7 per cent.

OLD CARPETS AND RUGS
ARE WORTH REWEAVING

Providing fioorcoverings for the
home Is often a question of making
the best of what materials are at
hand One way of doing this, the
United States Department OF Agri-i
culture points out, is to have new.
rugs woven from old woolen carpets
and rugs too shabby to be used as such.
Factories for doing the work may
be found in many localities. The old
material is cut into strips about
three -fourths inch wide, which, when
sewed together and twister, make
cord somewhat like chenille and
form the filling of the new rug. Cot
ton string Is used for the warp.
These rugs are heavy and soft,
alike on both sides and durable, pro-
vided they are cleaned carefully.
They are generally rather neutral in
color and without a definite design;

Tolerance Is Gone Says
Rev. George {. Muluaney

two principles, charity and indulgence
Charity makes us love all men, even
our greatest enemies. 1t inspires US
with compassion for their faults and
errors and obliges us to regard them
as brothers. 1t inspires us to employ
all the means in our power to with
draw them from being totally deceived,
and forbids us even to regard them as
deprived of the hope of salvation as
long as they live. Rousseau has said !:
1T is impossible to live in peace with
those that we believe to be damned
We do not and cannot believe in the
condemnation of any man as long as
he lives. However great his iniquity,
the mercy of God still extends to
him.
1.-THE other source is Christian in
diligence. Inspired with sense of
our own weakness, we should regard
ourselves and all others as members
of the great family of the human race
with the same human failings and ten
denotes. With the knowledge Of the
perverse inclinations of our own
hearts. the darkness of our own minds
and the claims that man has to pity
in his faults and errors, we should be
indulgent to all men, never forgetting
that we, ourselves, perhaps more than
any other, have need of indulgence. Z"

ton of state officials, following an in
lllO lIt dlltSOu
tation of Mexican laborers from San

of these men claimed to have been
sent to Fort Worth on a promise of
employment and later it was brought
to the attention of the Mexican con-
sulates that many of them were with
out jobs and were in Strengthened cir
cumstances. An extensive investiga-
ton followed.
Judge Anthony said Saturday that
the state hopes, by securing perma-

agency to put a stop for all time TO
the practice complained of. Following
