DON'T WASH CAR
TOO FREQUENTLY
Expert on Automobile Finishes
Explains Why There Are So
Many Shabby Machines.

Here Is the opinion of an expert
IN automobile body finishes:
1.-THE idea that a car must be
washed every time dust has u
lated on ii is a mistake.
Every time a car Is washed the
varnish is raised slightly and the
enamel is dulled. 1t would seem nee
essary on account of heavy road mud
to wash a car, but it isn't.
Mud Gets on Rear.
Mud generally gets or the "a
half of the body and the running
gear. Washing the running gear
will not materially affect the general
appearance of a ear if it does lose it's
luster. 1t Is the body of a car that
catches the eye. Sprayed mud IN a
car can easily be removed by the use
of a soft cloth drawn lightly back and
forth V e the surface until 1t crum-
bles away. 1t is not necessary to
use pressure. Light fluffing accom-
plishes the trick.
ANY white dust left on the finish
after this has been done will act as a
fine polishing powder when a good
polish Is used.
ITO keep a finish in the best pos
slble condition. 1t is necessary to use
a cleaner nce In 90 days to smooth,
clean and polish the surface. Clean
ers always contain securing powders,
but a preparation of this nature
should not be used as a regular treat
ment, as nee the dirt and grayneSs
have been removed from finish a
cleaner will remove some of the good
finish in each application. Therefore,
as a general wash and polish in one
application, a preparation very light
in cleaning element, with preserva-
tive properties, should be used. If
this treatment Is followed, the finish
on an automobile will be deep in
shine and will not require refnishing
for months and sometimes years.
Keep Enamel Bright.
THE enamel on q car can be kept
In bright condition indefinitely, while
1t is only natural for varnish to keep
bright as long as there is life in 1t.
water is not always free from al
kali. Alkali will eat up varnish.
Soap cannot be made without the use
of alkali, and no matter how much
oil and tallow are used, the alkali
stays alive.
Drawing the channels skin over an
enamel surface dulls 1t a little in
every movement and in the course of
three months of washing treatment,
the enamel surfaces on a car turn
gray. This never happens If a good
reliable polish is used instead"

Serving Tray Saves Housewives

Different Ways.

A serving tray on casters or wheels,
sometimes called a "wheel-tray," tea
wagon" or "~tea-cart," Is a household
convenience that saves the housewives
time n strength In many ways. A
boy or man handy with simple tools
can make one; a number of women,
similarly skillful, have also made
them. In a Virginia home recently q
very successful wheel-tray was made
out Of an old washstand, utilizing the
large drawer, the top. the framework,
and other parts. To roll such a tray
around conveniently, swivel casters
may be provided from some discarded
piece of furniture, small swivel wheels
or the small wheels of a baby car
rage or toy wagon. In the serving
tray illustrated the wheels were evil

wheel tray saves many trips between
the dining room and kitchen, both In
serving and In clearing away meals,
especially in a large household where
many dishes must be handled. The

H%OUSEKEEPER WOULD
HAVE IDEAL LAUNDRY
Runnino Water and Modern Labor
Saving Devices Cannot Always
Be Provided.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The ideal Of every h~ousekeeper
would be q separate room for her laun-
dry with running water and modern
labor-saving devices. These cannot be
provided in every home, but even
where the arrangement and equipment
are necessarily very simple it is often
possible TO make minor changes or to
plan the work In such a way that 1t
will take less time and strength,
In olden days, tubs and wash
benches were brought into the kitchen
because water could be heated there
most conveniently, and from this
seems to have developed the idea that
the kitchen Is the place for the laun-
dry. The doors and steam from laun-
dry work, however, are disagreeable
In a kitchen, and the handling Of
soiled clothing in any Don In which
food is prepared Is highly objection
able. If clothes must be washed in
the kitchen the preliminary sorting
should be done elsewhere.
In some sections it Is considered
preferable to have the washing done
out Of doors or in a room outside of
the house. Otherwise the best place
for a laundry is usually either in a
room next to the kitchen or In a base
ment room directly below it, because
this makes 1t possible to use the same
chimney and If the house Is equipped
with running water the same water
pipes for both rooms. A basement
laundry generally lean too many
stairs for the housewife, while a room
adjoining the Kitchen may enable her
much more easily to carry on or over
see the work In both rooms at the
same time.
Good lighting is necessary for good
laundry work, and tubs and ironing
board should be so placed that the
light comes from the side. Doors and
windows should be arranged to give
the thorough ventilation especially

carry all dishes to the table in one
trip, or to remove them from 1t after
the meal. Steps are saved by it In
serving refreshments at social occa-
sions. 1t is invaluable for use as a
bedside tray in the sick room. When
well made the tray is attractive as
well as useful and may serve as a
reading table or flower stand. 1t may
be stained dark or enameled white to
harmonize with the dining room and
It's furnishings. The space in the top
may be used to keep dishes in, and
the drawer will store silver and table

Dimensions for Tray.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture recommends the dlmen-
sions given below for making a con-
venient serving tray which will go
through doorways without danger Of
humping. The upper part of the tray
Is box shaped, 16 inches wide and 20
inches long. The box part, or china
compartment, Is Az inches deep. This
Is upheld by 4 legs, v by 1S inches,
which measure 81 inches from the

The old axiom about the advisable

AMI car tracks will find 1t pretty ex-

1t was made for no reason at all.
Some men pick out ruts to drive In
because it saves a certain amount of
steering, but the law Of compensation
is an memorable one, as the rut fiend
soon discovers when he finds his tires
chewed to bits. 1t would be quite
impossible to- bufld a tire that could
with any degree of truth be termed
a rut-proof casing, because Of the fact
that the side wall cannot be made
as heavy and inflexible as the tread.
No great amount of reinforcing ma
terial can be built upon the side wall
of a tire. In rut running both the
side walls become the tread as much
as does that portion Of the casing
which was intended to come in con-
tact with the road. In fact, in rut
running the side walls, under such cir
cumstances, are subjected to even
nor abuse than the tread, for the
reason that the tread rolls over the
surface Of the ground, while the side
walls are scruffed and subjected to a
side-swiping motion that very soon
wears away a rubber tire. OF course,

when bad roads cannot be avoided or

Clothing for children should be of
the simplest kind, says the United
States Department of Agriculture. II
should permit absolute freedom of
movement, hanging chiefly from the
shoulders, and permitting the child to
bend over freely, squat on the ground,
kick, rum, climb, or otherwise indulge
In the activity natural to a growing
boy or girl. Rompers for very little
children, and bloomer dresses or sep
arate knickers and blouses for those a
little older are, as a rule, the most
practical from the standpoint of the
child's comfort and appearance, and a
minimum amount of laundering. Elab-
crate designs are unsuitable at any
time for active young children. Chill
1ren should not be conscious of their
clothing either from a sense Of dis
comfort, or from vanity or embarrass-
ment. Washable materials are prefer
able for children's clothing, until they
are old enough to take some RESPONSE
bility for keeping their clothes clean.
Where extra warmth Is necessary,
washable wooden materials may be Sc
iected, such as serge, flannel, or
challls, but most mothers find that 1t
pays best to use wooden underwear
and cotton or linen dresses, with
sweaters and legglngs for extra
@SsrrIitl when the children 60 out. A
set Of ~cover-all aprons made on the
"kimono" pattern Will be found very
practical for use when children are
playing in the house or yard either
after school or when they are too lit
tie to go to school. Oilcloth or rubber
bibs for very little children can be
easily made and will lessen the num-
Der of garments to be washed.
Garments Made at Homo.
A large part of the clothing for
girls can always be made at home,
and many garments may be made for
boys as long as they wear washable
clothes. Boys knickers for play,

necessary because of steam, odors and
heat.
A laundry floor should be of mate
rial that wears well, Is not too hard
for the feet, does not soak water or get
slippery when wet, and is easily
cleaned. Wood, cement, composition
and linoleum are used. Wood floors
are not easily cleaned and are often
slippery when wet. Cement floors are
common in some parts of the country
and relatively inexpensive, and II
painted with special cement paint they
do not absorb water. Some compost
ton floors are not too hard, are less
expensive than hardwood, and are
easily cleaned. A floor covered with
linoleum Is easily wiped up, Is i'm
pervious to moisture, and is easy to
tread, but Is slippery when wet. Oil
paints are preferable to water color
for the walls.
The room should be divided into a
washing and an ironing section. The
position of the stove will determine
the details of this division. To make
boiling the clothes convenient, the
stove should be near the tub. If a
washing machine Is to be used. the tub
should be SO arranged that the gar
ments go directly, without handling,
from the machine through me wiring
er to the tub, and vice versa. If ar
rangement is well planned, one wash
tub will be sufficient with a washing
machine.

There is always the possibility of
combining two materials when there
Is not enough of one, or of adding
lust enough new contrasting material
TO make the result cen like a new

One Pattern Sufficient.
In the Illustration n pattern was
used to make five different dresses.
Variety was obtained by making the
decorations entirely different and u.s.
ing different materials in each dress,
and guimpe. Even with dresses for old
err persons It Is frequently possible to
vary a simple foundation pattern by
means of trimming, various styles of
collars or cuffs, or a different way of
opening, so as to have the results
seem totally different. A glance at
any pattern book will show how the
same foundation pattern can be made
up to give various effects. The adj
vantages of using n pattern for a
number of garments in this way are
that with repeated use n is able to
handle the pattern more easily and
consequently to work more rapidly,
and no time is lost measuring n lay
ing out several different kinds of pat
terms. The simpler the pattern the
easier it IS to cut and make, and the
more likelihood there is of being able
to use it for cutting over a limited
amount of material, as in the case OF
making over an old dress.
