How can one bleach celluloid


How can one bleach celluloid
piano keys?
1t is not always possible to bleach
discolored celluloid as the discolora-
ton in many cases may not be re-
moved without destroying the identity
of the material. The best remedy con-
sists in rubbing with a cloth which has
been saturated with turpentine. The
discolored material is then exposed to
the sun for a short time. Peroxides
are developed and these have a bleach
ing action on the surface.

What causes dimnles7

The fibers which lie in the outside
skin help to hold the skin firm. These
small fibers run in all directions and
are OF different lengths. Now and
then these fibers will just happen to
grow short in one spot or the other
and pull the skin in, forming a little
depression.

order that he might give his whole
time to the work of the committee
By reason of his high standing among
Republicans throughout the country
and by tactfulness in his dealings with
his associates, he has been able to de-
velop thorough harmony in the party
organization. He has stood vigorously
for traditional Republican policies.
Like President Coolidge, Mr.. Butler
is not given to sensational methods
nor to personal exploitation. He Or
ganized the pre-convention campaign
so quietly and yet so effectively that
his work attracted little attention ex-
cept as one state after another elected

support OF Mr.. Coolidge in the con-

country would expect President Cool

GOOD MANAGEMENT OF
CAMPAIGN ASSURED

Washington, May 81. President
Coolidges announcement that he will
recommend to the incoming National
Committee the selection of William
NJ. Butler for the chairmanship of the
Committee has met with universal
approval among Republicans The
manner in which Mr.. Butler has con-
Quoted the primary campaign in be-
half of Mr.. Coolidge is an assurance
in itself that his management of the
Presidential Campaign in the fall will
be equally successful.
This early move was not only logi-
cal but necessary. Chairman Adams,
as set forth in the statement issued
by President Coolidge, having after
conferences indicated that after the
organization of the incoming National
Committee he did not wish to continue
as chairman, the immediate problem
was to avoid any possible hiatus in
the actual planning of the campaign.
This has been accomplished by the
selection of Mr.. Butler.
AS now arranged, the Republican
party is thus profiting by the services
Of Chairman Adams who will continue
at his post till after the convention.
and also Mr.. Butler, who will have
the responsibility of conducting the
new campaign. Both gentlemen have
already had lengthy conferences which
will be continued to complete adjust
ment of conditions and perfection of
plans.
1t is Of interest that the more sub
stantial Democratic newspapers have
already confessed that the Republi-
cans have by this move won tacti-
cal advantage. One or two months
additional time has been secured for
the careful planning of the campaign
which the Democratic organs sadly
admit cannot but work for a more
efficient scheme of campaign manage
ment and better prospect for Re
publican success.
1t is characteristic of President
Coolidge that although precedent has
long established the right OF the
Presidential candidate to designate
his national chairman by reason OF the
close personal relations existing be-
tween the candidate and the chairman
yet in the wording of his announce
ment the President was punctilious to
make 1t plain that he was merely sug-

THE TASK TO FACE
(By Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.

CBy Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. }
The Administration that encouraged
profiteering during the war, rather
than service men who are now to re-

be the object of censure. While we
are in one sense about to distribute
gratuity to the World War veterans

ground for complaint because they
were taken under the draft and sent

are eligible to make claims under the
bonus law, in the Navy, $4,000, and
in the marine corps, $4,000.
For each of the next 20 years the
bonus law will require an average ap-
preparation of s114,O0O,OOO and the
total appropriations will aggregate
$3.50, 7S5, ,542, according to the esti-
mates of the Veterans Bureau. The
estimates of the Treasury Department
are materially higher, and if the past
history of Federal bureaus is ac-
cepted as an indication the total cost
to the taxpayers will be a maximum
figure that nobody has yet dared to

M EN- ORAL DAY

Today, May 80, the men and women
the boys and girls-of the country
will pay homage to all those who
have stepped forward in Americas
greatest historical periods of trial and
have gloriously consecrated their
lives that their country and their
country's ideals might live.
Memorial day means much to Amer
leans. Heroes of '61 still live and are
poignantly remembered. The days Of
'98 are still a hallowed memory. And
the tears for those who lie in France
have not yet dried upon our cheeks.
But in commemorating our honored
dead, our spirit should not be unduly
sad In remembering those who gave
their lives that this country and its
great institutions might endure, how
can we fail to draw new and lofty
Inspiration inspiration in the no.
bility of duty fulfilled whether its
paths lead to daily toll or to the glory
of the battlefield.
1t is now the sixth Memorial day
since the end of the World War. Time
has assuaged the grief of parent
hearts, wives have taken up life
anew, but the American Legion does
not forget. The American Legion was
founded to preserve for posterity the
spirit that led the finest men in our
land to sacrifice their all for great
and noble cause. The Legion's pro-
gram is based on a broad conception
of peace-time service to the commun-
ity, state and nation.
All honor to the memory of Ameri-
can dead in every war and all rever-
ence for the heroism of every veteran
who fought in the cause of principal
whether lost or won. 1t is fitting
that our tributes should be as liberal
and as generous as possible, and that
in the ceremonies of the day, as has
been the custom for nearly three-score
years that have interviewed, since the
Civil war, that the graves of the
brave soldier and sailor men, who
have gone to that "bourn from whence
no traveller returns" shall be decorat-
ed by sorrowing ones with beautiful
flowers of the springtime A rever.
ent custom, surely, and truly Ameri.
