A well arranged cleaning closet is
just as important as an orderly linen
closet, well-stocked preserve and jelly
shelves, or a neat kitchen cupboard.
By grouping together brooms,
brushes busters, mops, and all the
many things needed in cleaning, and
keeping the closet in order, the house
keeper need not waste time or take
extra steps in collecting these things
when she wants to use them. 1t is a
more sanitary and tidy practice to
store cleaning tools in place by
themselves than to leave them in a
corner of the kitchen or pantry, as is
often done, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture points out.
Have Closet Convenient.
The cleaning closet should be con
venient to the whole house. Some
times, especially in large houses, a
good arrangement is to have clean
ing closet OH each floor with supply
of the things most frequently used.
If a built-in closet is not available,
an old wardrobe may be fitted up.
Sometimes the cleaning closet opens
off the back hall or the combination
laundry and washroom, which is found
an almost indispensable room in many
farmhouSeS.
The cleaning closet should be ven-
tilated by cutting holes in the door or
by means Of a transom. Shelves
should be arranged for the cans and
bottles of cleaning materials and 9TH
er small articles, and there should be
plenty Of hooks at proper heights for
brushes, brooms, and mops. These
should be hung so that the weight
does not rest on the straws, bristles,
or strings. The carpet sweeper, also,
should be set or hung so that the
weight does not come on the brushes.
Well-made, durable tools are gen.
orally most economical in the end,
though they may cost more at the out
set 1t is well, Of course, to have a
complete set of tools and materials
for cleaning the many kinds of mate
rails in the house, but this does not
mean that large collection should be
bought haphazard. Some cleaning de-
vices will not be used often enough
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-12-04

in the ordinary house to justify their
expense or the storage room they oc-
cupy, and the heGsekeeper will do
well to consider these points before
buying.
The oily cloths used in polishing
floors and furniture, especially If
moistened with linseed oil, are a Sc
rious fire hazard unless kept in a COW
cred fireproof container. A tin or gal
vanized-iron can with close-fitting lid
is good for this purpose.
Tools last longer and work better
If put back in the closet clean and
ready for use the next time.
Care of Mops.
Once a week or oftener if neces-
sary the box of the carpet sweeper
should be opened over dampened news
paper, the dirt emptied out, and the
hair and lint cleaned from the
brushes with a buttonhook, coarse
comb, or old scissors. The mechan-
ism should be kept properly oiled. A
vacuum cleaner should be looked after
in the same way, except that in addi-
ton the bag should be emptied.
Dry or oiled mops should be well
shaken each time after use, and occa-
sionally should be washed in hot soap
suds, rinsed in clear hot water, and
dried as quickly as possible. Oiled
mops may be renewed by pouring on
a few drops Of kerosene or floor oil and
letting them stand until the oil
spreads through the strings. If too
much oil is used the floors will be
darkened, and a surplus of oil will
be left on the surface.
Dust cloths should be washed fire.
quently, because little dirt comes
out more easily and because dirty
cloths may often leave as much dust
as they take up and may scratch high
" polished surfaces. The oil in "dust-
less" cloths may be restored by add
ing to the rinse water a little kero-
sene or floor oil (about one tablespoon
full to a quart of water), or by pour
ing few drops of oil on the dry
buster, rolling it tight, and letting 1t
stand until the oil spreads evenly.
House cleaning often seems hard
task, and it pays to plan the work
carefully and to keep the home clean
rather than labor to make it clean.

Should Guard Against
"Stereotyped Dress

This is a season when one must
puard against a certain standardiza-
tion Of fashion, observes a fashion
writer in the Kansas City Star, for
while we undoubtedly are becoming
more and more versed in the art of
dressing properly, many of us are
inclined TO follow the path of least
ras,stance-to wear what every other
woman is wearing. This is perhaps
the one criticism of the American
woman,s clothes that can with truth
be made. Taken as whole they are
probably the best dressed women in
the world. but taken individually they
are ont TO follow the prevailing style

most of the new vogue for ripple or

frocks. One Of these is shown in the

tention has been given to its back.

more, besides the flowers that bloom
in the spring there are others that
bloom in millinery fields when mid
winter approaches. Among these new
varieties have made t'leir appearance
glass flowers and carved wooden
blossoms-and it is safe to predict
that they will be joyously acclaimed.
In the group of hats shown here
there are four models that exploit the
wider-brim idea and one novel, small

smart forces in the poke shape at the

N ANCE frocks gaily turn their
~ backs upon an admiring world,
fully conscious of the fact that those
backs were designed to be looked at.
Backs are, in fact, the most important
consideration when the matter of eve
ming dresses to be used for dancing,
comes up. Not every pretty evening
dress that happens along will serve
for dancing, but only those that are
graceful and designed to swing into
flowing and beautiful lines when their
wearers dance.

To Make DeOonshire Cream

Devonshire clotted cream, not SO
well known in the United States as
1t deserves to be, has a nutty flavor
that combines especially well with
fruits and various desserts. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture gives the following directions for
making it: Vessels of milk on which
the cream has been allowed to rise I'M
disturbed are heated slowly and
cooled, and the thick clothed cream is
then SKINNED off. This process not
only develops a characteristic flavor
but checks development of bacteria,
so that clotted cream keeps better
than ordinary cream.

.Jabot Fashioned From
Lace, White or Cream

The jabot has become ambitious.
1t first it was mere accessory Of
the blouse or dress or jacket suit-a
lit of neckwear, in fact. Now it has
become the decorative feature par ex-
cellence, of the dress or gown.
Fashioned from lace in white or
cream, in beige or ecru, the jabot
meanders down the front or up and
down the side Of frock or tunic, ag-
gregating to itself all attention, save
possibly that accorded to the buttons
accompanying it in rows as long and
as fancifully arranged.

after all)
Now it's perfectly obvious, notes a
fashion writer in the Detroit News,
that there are two big causes of imf-
tation in dress, which is what fashion
is, of course; desire to look like
everybody else, and so avoid the ap-
pearance of oddity; and the urge to
show the world at large that you can
look as well, if not better, than the
next fellow can. (Disillusioning per-
haps-but true.)
Now with winter ahead, mothers
are considering wardrobes for their
children for the months which are
coming.
There are some splendid school
frocks of wool canton crepe, Jersey
and serge. Most of them are perfect
ly straight all the way down for the
hitler girls, but after "size ten they
have belts. Many of the dresses are
of navy blue, but some browns and
plafds are in evidence. One especial
Iy pretty dress was made of dark blue
wool canton crepe trimmed with jade
green. The raglan sleeves, collar and
pockets were of the green, as was the
sash, which began at the pockets and
tied in the back, was also of the green
material. The skirt had few plaits
under the pockets and there was an
inverted plait down the middle of the

A fiounce of metallic lace is set onto
the satin body with very irregular
curving line and falls over uneven
fiounces Of chiffon in two colors. Ont
can imagine this gown in many lovely
color combinations with either gold
or silver lace used in the flounce. The
treatment Of the decolletage is very
ciever-it is cut to appear low but
filed in with fine lace so that the

Chiffon or georgette, embroidered
with beads maintain an important
position in the evening modes.

Another Radio Wonder.

The marvels Of the radio increase
as the mind Of man seeks to uncover
its possibilities. In New York yester-
day group Of technicians in a tun-
mel ninety feet below the surface OF
the Hudson river tuned in on a con-
cert broadcast from Pittsburgh. The
ether waves carried into the tunnel,
penetrating thirty feet of water, sixty
feet Of earth and several inches of
steel, and the concert program was
distinctly heard on the ear phone and
loud speaker.
The value Of the successful expert,
mont lies in the demonstration that
in the future it will be possible to es.
tablish a line OF communication with
men who are at work In caissons, tun-
nels and mines, in case of disaster and
the breaking Of telephone communica-
tion. The officials who made yester-
days test explained that it will be
feasible to equip such workers with
small portable radio sets. both trans.
mitting and receiving.
At present the telephone is the
miners only means Of communication,
and in most cases Of disaster 1t is put
out Of commission at the first blast.
1t will be priceless boon to humanity
when the portable transmitters and
receivers are perfected and another
hazard Of the miners life is removed.
According to the Associated Press
account OF the test the technicians
present differed as to how the radio
registered with the tunnel. Some be-
lieved," said the account, 1.-The waves
of energy penetrated the steel walls
and the everything ninety feet Of mud
and water. Others believed that the
energy waves rapidly circling the
thirty-foot- diameter cast steel jacket
which forms the tunnel made Of IT a
gigantic multiwire coil, setting up a
huge frequency current which induced
a similar current inside the tunnel.
and which, in turn, induced reaction

Uncle Sans Losing Investment.

One of the items in the supplemental
estimates submitted to Congress by
the President is that of S120,96S for
rent to the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road for the land occupied by the gov
ernment hotels, S46,653 for the past
fiscal year and $74,315 for the current
year. In explanation OF this estimate
it is set forth that the condemnation
proceedings leading to the acquisition
of this land for inclusion in the Capi.
tol-station plaza have been suspended.
Meanwhile, in 1918, the government
leased the land from the railroad COM
pany for the period of the war, and
for twelve months after the ratifica-
ton of the treaty of peace, as q site
for the hotels for woman department
workers. Differences having arisen on
the score of rents, there is an ar
rearage. and the large sum now
requisitioned represents the lease
money up to the 1st Of July next.
This item OF rent for the site Of the
government hotels brings sharply to
consideration the question discussed
in The Star yesterday Of procedure to
the point OF acquiring the land now
remaining unbought within the area
originally mapped as q park. 1t is
evident that the government is doing
losing business in leasing this prop
erty for the maintenance Of group
of hotels which are no longer needed
for housing purposes. and which. at
best. can be only self-supporting.
The question, however. is not
whether the government should con.
tinue in a money-losing hotel enter.
prise, but whether it should not pro-
ceed with the condemnation Of the
land required to finish out the plaza
project. Senators Pepper and Fernald
propose to bring this matter to an is
sue. They will have a strong argu-
ment for an early conclusion on the
question in the disclosure made
through this requisition for appropria-
ton that the government is losing
money in large sums annually by
maintaining a part of the plaza. pri-
vate!y owned. as building sites.

The Body Of the Pharaoh.

When the excavators in the valley
OF tornbs near Luxor swung open the
last of the series of doors in the
mortuary chamber Of the tomb Of
King Tut.ankh.Amen they found a
great pinkish sandstone sarcophagus,
and they knew that they had thwarted
the purpose of the Pharaoh of $500
years ago, and had reached the place
of his last rest. 1t had been planned
by him, and its construction was super.
vised by him as well. He had followed
the practice of his predecessors in
thus preparing the place where his
mortal body should remain to wait
for the resurrection, which it was
their belief, and his, would come in
after time. THt-ankh-Amen had seen
the tombs of earlier kings, rined by
looters. Not one had escaped their at
tentions. Not only the treasures, but
the mummies Of past Pharaohs had
been disturbed. The greatest care
was taken to keep these places intact
and inviolate. and even, to keep their
locations secret. But despite all these
precaut;ons. all had been entered.
King Tut-ankh-Amen therefore planned
