NEW ELECTRIC WARMER
Is A VERSATILE DEVICE

A new idea in electric warmers
is the electric soapstone. A heating
unit Of 800 watts is placed in the
soapstone, and standard electric
flat-iron connection is provided, so
that you may use your flat-iron
cord and save the cost of a new
one. The use of current for a few
minutes will bring the stone to a
good heat, and it will then retain
a high temperature for a long slime
1t can be carried in automobiles:
it will warm the baby's crib; it
may be used for the invalid.

Of the divorce suit of w. r. d.
Stokes, wealthy realty operator,

WOMAN TRIES
To BALk
BANDIT
Cigar Dealers Wife Struggles
With Gunmen-Five Rob-
berries Reported.

Five robberies were reported to
the police last night and early
this morning. In four instances
the victims were terrorized by the
flourishing of firearms. In the
last few weeks many hold-ups by
armed bandits have been reported
to the police.
Three By Same Trio.
Three hold-ups within half an
northeast section by three youths
who disguised themselves by roug-
ing and blackening their faces.
The bandits first visited the store
Of Benjamin Aaronoff, 1889 Benning
road northeast, where he and his
daughter, Rachel, fourteen years
old, were backed against the wall
at the point of pistols while one
rifled the cash register. They got
$45. The bandits smiled as Aaranoff
pleaded for the safety Of his daugh-
ter. They promised they would
not shoot unless they tried to give
warning to passersby.
After the robbery the police were
notified and reserves from the
Ninth precinct and several de.
tectives from headquarters were
ordered to investigate. While the
police were on their way, the same
bandits robbed two other store
proprietors.
GrOcers Life Threatened.
Hurrying from the store of
Aaronoff, the trio went to the
establishment of Samuel Zikerman,
GA Tennessee avenue northeast,
and rifled the cash register. They
stole $40. Zikerman was about to
close his store for the night when
an armed man commanded him to
hold up his hands. The other two
bandits followed closely and made
search for the money. Ziker-
mans life was threatened if he
MADE any attempt to communicate
with the police.
Leaving the Zikerman establish
ment. the bandits went to the cigar
store Of Vincent Marine at lea
Tennessee avenue, where they stole
$50. One of the bandits tussled
with Marines wife, who tried to pre-
vent the rifling of the cash register.
She was threatened with death il
she did not desist. A man who was
telephoning in booth did not
know what was going on and when
he stepped cut he found himself
confronted by one of the armed
bandits.
Revolver Misses Fire.
Herman Murray, eighteen years
old, employed by Marine, who was
in the store when the bandits en-.
tered, whipped a revolver from his
pocket when the bandit began to
tussle with Marines wife but when
he attempted to shoot the pistol
missed fire. One of the hold -up
men fired at the youth but missed.
simultaneously a shot was fired at
James Ccnroy, who had been tele-
phon1ng, but the bullet missed him.
Seeing that the bandits were deter
mined in their operations those in
the store remained quiet while the
trio Packed out the door.
The hold-up men, who appeared
to be well dressed, fled in an auto
mobile after the third hold-up. The
car they used had been stolen and
was found abandoned at Fifteenth
street and Massachusetts avenue
southeast several hours after the
robberies. Thomas L. Evans, 1871

reported that the car had been
stolen from in front Of his home.

TEA is ALWAYS REFRESHING
Bring Freshly Drawn Water to Boil
and Then Pour on Requisite
Amount of Leaves.

To make a pot of perfect tea. an ex-
pert in the United States Department
of Agriculture directs one to bring
freshly drawn water to a boil; pour
1t on the requisite amount Of tea Zone
even teaspoonful for each cup) in a
previously scalded pot, allow 1t to re-
main covered for three minutes; then
decant or strain Into another recep-
tacle. The spent leaves should never
be used again.
When one intends to serve Iced tea
on warm afternoons a supply of tea
brewed and strained earlier in the day
is advisable. When the tea is cool
1t should be placed next to the Ice to
chill. Cracked ice added just as the
glass is served will not dilute It ap-
preciably. Sugar and slice Of lemon
may be used according to individual
taste.

TAKE CARE OF PERISHABLES
During Warm Summer Months Keep
Vegetables and Fruits At
Cool Temperature.

Fresh vegetables and fruits should
be kept clean, we'll ventilated, and,
If possible, at q temperature between
90 degrees and 40 degrees F., advises
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture. Decayed ones should be fire.
quently sorted out. Very often the
decayed portion may be cut away and
the rest of the fruit or vegetable used
at once. Wilted leaf vegetables some
times may be freshened by soaking in
water just before using. All vegetables
and fruits, especially those to be eat
en- raw, should be thoroughly washed
in running water before they are used.
The loss of flavor and texture is very
slight and is made up for by the re-
moval of bacteria and possible spray
residue. Decaying fruits and vege-
tables always attract flies.
Most cooked foods made with milk,
eggs. meats, or fish, are excellent
breeding places for harmful micro
organisms, including many which
cause poisoning. Chilled leftovers
should be used as soon as possible.
Leftovers of meat pie. dishes made
with cream sauce soft custard, boiled
dressing, and dressing made with
cream must be carefully kept and han
died and promptly used. They often
cause serious poisoning before they
taste or smell spoiled. Boiled rice,
hominy and other cereals also spoil
quickly.

not later be entered by other moths.
Clothing stored in good tight cedar
chests after thorough brushing and
summing should be safe from moth
ravages, for the larger moth Larvae
would have been brushed out and any
young ones or any hatched later from
undetected eggs would be killed before
they could cause serious damage.
Cedar chests do not kill the moth-mil-
Ter, its eggs or pupae, but It has been
found that they do kill the moth
worms within a few days after they
hatch out.
Wood Chest Effective.
When one does not possess cedar
chest, a tightly constructed chest OF
ordinary wood would be just as ef-
fective, provided the clothing is as
thoroughly cleaned, brushed and
summed and has from one to two
pounds of good-grade napthalene
packed with 1t. Woolen garments simi-
larly cared for and prepared for stor-
age may be protected by wrapping
them tightly in several thicknesses Of
ordinary paper, with napthalene flakes
OF balls distributed throughout the
package.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrtcuture)
Brush out all moth eggs and keep
out the parent moths by tight wrap
ping, are the two cardinal principles
for preventing the tragedy of moth
eaten fabrics. Woolen or fur garments
which are to be stored away during the
hot weather should be painstakingly
cleaned, beaten, brushed and summed,
IL possible on the clothesline, to re-
move or kill any moth eggs or larvae
which may already be in them, says
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture. Special attention should be
given to brushing all seams. creases
and pockets.
Young Larvae Do Damage.
The adult moths which fly about do
not damage the clothing. They mere
ly select woolen garments or furs in
which to deposit their eggs, so that the
young larvae eventually emerging
from these eggs will have plenty of
suitable food. A large part Of the
trouble caused by moths can be avert
