SPOT AND STAIN REMOVAL
BY INEz sEARLEs WILSON

The problem Of removal is to find
the solvent for the stain, that is. GER
tain types Of stains will respond read
lily to certain kinds of treatment.
Removing a spot as soon as pos
sible after it appears gives one the
advantage Of usually knowing what
has caused 1t. The question is then
one of knowing how to effect its re-
moval.
A very safe rule, especially when
the nature of the stain is not known,
Is to proceed slowly and to use the
simple methods first. Often a little
clear, cold water, applied at once will
do the work with no injury to the
fabric or its color.
Stains may, for convenience, be
classified under four general heads.
according to their solubility.
First are the stains soluble in
water: they are sugar. starches, gums,
egg. milk, blood, soup stock, fruit
juices, coffee and tea.
Second are those soluble in alco-
hol, ether. chloroform, benzine and
gasoline; they are fats (Which may be
removed from cotton with hot water
and soap). candle grease, tar, crude
oil, asphaltum, some vegetable stains,
such as grass stains, medicine (usual-
ly alcohol is the solvent; the fact that
1t is denatured does not affect Its
cleansing properties). varnish and
paint, for the last named turpentine Is
also a solvent.
Third are the stains which are SOL
uble in acids, namely, iron rust and
ink.
Fourth are the stains which may he
treated with javelle water. This meth
Cd may be used for very resistant
spots on white cotton or linen. but
only as last resort, when other
means fail, as 1t requires careful
handling to prevent injury to the fab
ric II should always be used in weak
solution.
When the nature Of the stain Is
known and the agent to be used Is
decided, the method Of applying the

cleansing problem.
Again. let me emphasize the ne
cessity Of going slowly. It Is so easy
to assume that if a little is good. lot
is better. Many applications Of weak
agent will not cause damage to the
material. while one application Of
strong solution may cause ruin. This
Is especially true in using acid or ia
velle water
1t is advisable to rinse the spot
after each application. If an acid Is
the cleansing agent, put some am
monia into the rinse water to neutral
lie the effect of the acid. This is the
principle of commercial ink eradi-
Gators, an alkali in one bottle neu-
tralizes the acid which removes the
ink.

THE ORDEAL OF THE GRIP

For several weeks to come our around
 For several weeks to come our around the-world niers will undergo the ordeal of the handshake, and by the time the national enthusiasm stirred up by their aerial feat has subsided, they are likely to have stiff and swollen right hands, unless they early learn to "beat" their admirers to the grip.
 Int is something which all public men who hust do lot of handshaking get the hang of. It is a simple trick in legerdemain. The shawee grabs the hand of the shaver quickly and firmly before the latter can get grip, pumps the hand he holds up and down once or twice. and deity withdraws his hand before the other man can put on any counter pressure.
 The handshake which is now the sym bol of friendliness is said to have had it's origin in quite another feeling than good will. In the days when gentlemen went about with weapons girt to their sides the extension of the right hand was a guarantee that it would not be used to suddenly draw steel and kill the other man.
 It is obvious that Ieft-handed man of treacherous nature had advantages under the system which must have been helpful in removing an enemy. Appar- ently handshaking among the ancients was not a common practice, the saluta- tion of greeting among the Romans be- ing the raising of the left hand in the air. It is likely, however, that oaths between men were confirmed by a sol emn grip, ..lthough even then Roman grasped the wrist and not the hand itself of the other man.-Philadelphia Bulletin.

 Bucky Harris is a kind boss. He kept his tired pitcher on the hill, all though every ball pitched told of pro- gressive decay. Kelly scored for the thinker in the seventh on a pass and combination.
 Zachary Weakens
 Zachary lifted his aching arm in the eighth and escaped, although his flag seemed ready for half masting. Sweat dripped through his tired eyes. His arm was leaden. The fold of cloth on his prop leg was tell-tale, for 1t shivered as in a palsy. In the first half of the ninth Frisch scored from first on Kelly's single on a decision tighter than a bugs eye. Wilson mashed the ball through center and Kelly leaped over the crouching Ruel and landed on the plate as the ball slipped from Ruel's glove. The score was tied. Eliza had fallen on the ice and the dogs were biting her. The stands roared like a train in a tunnel.
 Then the tired Zachary gave place to Marberry. In the Bucks half, Peck's single sent Judge in with the winning run.
 Cut-back, showing Young hitting a pop to Zachary in the first, and John McGraw sitting in the dugout-think- ing bitterly.

 WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.--Fred Mar berry is no hand to go pesticatin' around, starting things, but if you start something, particularly a game of ball, Fred, he'll finish it. Fred has been a pitcher for the Washington ball club since the fall of last year but this season was his first one as a regular member of the team with his name painted over a locker and all the routine privileges of a regular, such as a lower berth, away from the wheels, when travelling, and seat near the middle of the bench when he wasn't warming up or finishing something that someone else had started.
 Fred always sleeps in hihip boots and fireman's hat, ready to rush out of the dugout with yell of ''hold everything, I'm a 'comin, at the first peal of the panic signal from the pitcher in the box Sunday afternoon as the New York Giants and the Senators leaped and swatted in the second game of the world series, fred was snoozing lightly, as usual, in the shadows of the players coop when Jez Zachary, the starting pitcher, man with more front names anu AunulcE OHcS Nuun DuiBdElhu prince, was seen to falter and poise himself for a well-rounded flop.
 Hold Em"
 Hold everything" Fred cried, sud denly materializing out of the dark hole. "I'm a 'comin'."
 The umpires raised their hands to command a process and Fred Marberry walked to the bax to pitch. The Giants had just coined two runs, tying the score, there was a runner on second base, and Marberry was going in with out previous experience against the Giants to save another ball game for the Senators. There were two out and Travis Jackson, the Giants young shortstop, was gesturing evilly with his bat.
 Fred threw the ball at Jackson just three times. Each time the ball explod- ed in Muddy Ruel's rapacious yellow glove, Bill Klem, umpiring behind the

 Three Times
 As balls brake-bnla Baritone screeched striker for the third time, Barberry slid his glove into his hip pocket and cantered back to the dugout like an old fire horse returning to his cats after running to q chimney fire. With just three pitched balls he had saved a ball game for the Senators just one year nfter his departure from a barefoot and stone-bruse league down in the 0zarks where one of the Sep- ators rowing hunters flushed him out of the bush, issued him q pair of shoes, ticket and four days travel rations, and freighted him eastward.
 All summer long, Fred had been fin- ishing for other pitchers. He finished games for Walter Johnson, Zachary, and George Mogridge and saved the majority of them. Altogether he pitched in fifty games of ball during the Sen ators' fight for the pennant but he started less than one third of that num- Der.

 Of course it was Roger Peckinpaugh's single in the last half of the ninth, the slap that sent Joe Judge home from second that won the game for the Sem ators, to 8, and sent the crowd spilling over the low barriers of the stands into the field, somewhat faint end bewildered by the relief from an afternoon of tension. Some of the New York athletes stopped moment to say so as they wrenched their way through the mob the long file of limousines which stood in the shadows beneath the grandstand, waiting to take them to the train for New York. Marberry's piece was defensive. The players them selves seemed to admire the offensive most and Peckinpaugh's action was particularly offensive to the New York Giants.

PAINTERS GET BACK TO GRIND Drew To Drive Men Hard For Millsaps
 Game

Coach Harold Drew brought his Panthers back to Birmingham Sunday He had probably expected to hold the Commodore to a much smaller score than was the case Saturday when the Vanderbile team piled up huge score against the Panthers. However, every man in the fold has forgotten that game now and all eyes are pointing to the game the coming Saturday when they meet the Millsaps Majors at Nun. ger Bowl. It will be the second game in Munger Bowl this season and an other large crowd is expected.
 The Majors have moro creditable record this season than the Panthers but indications were that the dope was slightly on the Gold and Black to win next Saturday and that the betting odds would be on Drew's charges to win. It is figured in some circles that Drew, realizing that he had nc show against the Commodore, didn't want to get his men bunged up any more than was necessary and that he wanted to keep his offensive strength intact for the game against Millsaps.
 Scoreless Tie
 The ajors and Panthers fought one of the most bloody games of their ca reers last year when the Panthers in: vaded Mississippi territory. For four fierce quarters they battled and at the end of the struggle the score stood Mill saps 0, BirminghamS Southern O. With such a battle behind the two teams, the football fans of Birmingham arc expecting one of the hardest fought games ever staged in Birmingham mex. Saturday.
 It hasn't been learned as yet just what Drew's men suffered in the way of casualties, but it is figured that there will be few men on crutches on Monday afternoon when the turbulent red-head starts driving his men in preparation for their Saturday game, Drew, one of the greatest div CTS in the game, will probably hold three stiff scrimmages against his freshmen Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day of this week. For Thursday and Friday the load will be frightened a bit.
 Saturdays game is booked to get going at 2:30 and the temporary bleachers constructed for the opening game have been kept np for the Millsaps game In anticipation of big crowd.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. D. Especial. )-The tale of the second game in the worlds series must be handled movie fashion. With a cut back, Roger Peckinpaugh-Pinching Peck they call him because of the tricks he plays with a bat just when the old ship is sinking-singled Judge home with Washington's run in the last half of the ninth inning. But he would not have had that chance if Young had obeyed orders in the first.
 Cut-back, showing Lindstrom and Frisch, the first pair up in that first inning, safely on third and first through two sound hits off Zachary. John McGraw crouched in the dug out, looking like Rodin's thinker and sounding like heavy static. He does the thinking for his athletes, does Me Graw. Throughout the game his hand kerchief fluttered in his hand. Crum- pied it meant one thing. A white flash meant another.
 Put it on the ground" he ordered Young.
 Young Don't Hear
 Every one of us-almOst 4OO0O-- heard that order as though it had been broadcasted. Only Young, perhaps his hands were slippery, and how the ball looped in q tiny fly. Then Kelly and Meusel hit into double and the Giants were out. But for that bit of independent thinking by Young, one run would have galnmphed over the doormat, and that would have won the game for the gray fat man in the cave.
 Fate, luck and Peekinpaugh ruled otherwise. In the seventh the score favored Washington 80, but Zachary was weakening His arm went up as though it were the ridge pole of new log barn. Heavy and slow. The plate seemed to bob before him. It had be-
