PRESIDENT IS
WARNED BY
DALE
Vermont Senator Fears Over
confidence May Hurt Re-
publican Vote

President Coolidge was warned
today by Senator Dale of Vermont.
against the fallacy of conducting
the Republican presidential cam!
paign on a basis of supreme
confidence"
Dale told the President be con.
sidered it bad policy" to talk 90
much about the certainty Of Mr..
Coolidge's election. pointing out
that the continual reiteration Of
this absolute confidence Of victory in
November, might finally hurt the
Coolidge campaign by keeping q
large number Of voters away from
the polls.
II am confident Of the Presi-
dents election" Senator Dale said,
but ] think that an aggressive
fight should be waged right up to
election day in order to assure a
large vote, which might otherwise
remain at home because Of over
confidence"
Senator Dale also reported to the
President on his work as director
OF the foreign language bureau of
the Republican National Committee.
He said he found the naturalized
voters extremely weIl-informed on
current political issues and on the
principles Of American Government,
and he predicted the naturalized
citizens would cast a larger proper
tionate vote for Coolidge this year
than they had every before cast for
any candidate.
He expressed the opinion that m
FAR as the foreign born voter was
concerned, the contest would de-
volve between Coolidge and La
Toilette, but said he felt 1.-THE bulk
Of the naturalized voters feel that
Senator La Toilette is dangerous
and might bring about in this
country conditions similar to those
in Europe"
In New York State, Dale said, he
looked for many Of the foreign
born to vote Democratic on the
State ticket, but Republican in the
national campaign.

"Four thousand permanent

"The home outfits are used

Preserue Eggs in Lime

If water glass is not obtainable for
preserving eggs, lime solution may be
used, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. 1t is not con-
sldered SO good as water glass, as in
some instances eggs preserved by this
method have tasted slightly of lime, al
though at other times limewater has
proved entirely satisfactory.
To preserve with lirae, dissolve y
pounds of unslaked lime in small
quantity of water and dilute with 5
gallons of water that has previously
been boiled and cooled. Allow the mix
ture to stand until the lime settles,
then pour off and use the clear liquid.
Place clean, fresh eggs in a clean
earthenware crock or jar and pour the
clear limewater into the vessel until
the eggs are covered. AT least inches
of the solution should cover the
top layer OF eggs.

To Rer,oue Tarnish From,
Copper, Brass and Bronze

The tarnish on copper, brass and
bronze is copper carbonate. 1t may be
removed by friction or dissolved in
weak acids.
Rottenstone mixed with oil to a
creamy consistency is the common
substance used on these metals After
this cleaner has been applied the
metal should be polished with a soft
cloth. A final rubbing with dry rot
tenstone or whiting will give the metal
an even brighter luster.
Oxalic-acid solution, buttermilk or
vinegar, especially when warmed,
quickly dissolves the tarnish on these
metals. All traces of these cleaning
agents must be removed, however, or
the metal will tarnish again very
quickly, says the United States De
partment of Agriculture. Washing the
metal in water, drying 1t and rubbing
it with dry whiting is usually effective.
The whiting not only takes up mois
ture, but polishes by friction.

Chests made of the. heartwood of
red cedar in good condition and thor
oughly tight are effective in protect
Ing fabrics from clothes moths, 1t has
been found by the United States De
partment of Agriculture, provided prop
er precautions are first taken to beat,
brush and sun all articles before they
are placed in the chest. Experiments
with cedar chests from the time of
manufacture until they were one year
old Indicate that chests which are
cared for properly will retain indef-
nitely their value as protectors against
moth ravages
Since 1t is the odor OF red cedar
which is effective against moths. II
Is recommended that in using cedar
chests for the protection of fabrics,
carpets, furs, and other clothing spe-
,ial care should be taken to prevent
undue escape of the aroma from the
chests. The chests at all times should
remain tightly closed except when
,lothing is being removed or placed
N them, which should take as little
time as possible. Aside from their
value In killing young clothes moth
larvae, cedar chests are so tightly con-
,tructed that adult moths or millers
cannot gain access to them except
when they are open. This Is not true

Is stored.
Cedar chests do not kill the adult

become one-half or full grown. This
Is not of great Importance, however,
for If clothing is thoroughly crushed,
beaten, or summed before 1t Is placed
In chests, as it should be under any
condition of storage, all the larger
worms are removed and many of the
eggs killed.
The main point TO remember Is that
cedar chests will kill newly Matched
and very young larvae before they will
cause damage, and If clothing is stored
In chests after it has been thoroughly
cleaned for storage, with especial at
tention to the brushing out of all
seams, pockets, or folds, and the re-
moval of grease spots and other stains,
the chests will act as certain pro-
tectors. AS 1t Is only the worm or
larva stage of the clothes moth that
can injure. clothing, 1t is very impor-
tant that the older worms, which are
not so easily killed, be removed by
brushing and summing before the cloth
Ing is put in chests.
When clothes moth larvae become
half to full grown they have usually
fed so much upon a garment that their
presence can be easily detected For
this reason, If the careful housewife
will so thoroughly clean, brush and
sun her articles that she Is unable to
notice any larvae after a careful in
spection of her garment, she may rest
assured that It will remain protected
