My Neighbor Says:

AlabaSter ornaments can be
beautifully cleaned by immers-
ing them in milk of lime for
some time, washing them in
clean water and busting them
when they are dry with 4 little
French chalk. The milk of lime
is made by mixing enough slak-
ed lime in water to give the wa
ter d milky appearance. A sec
ond and very simple way is to
use soap and water with a lit.
tie washing soda or ammonia,
rinsing them thoroughly after
ward.
When cooking new potatoes
scrape off the skins, put them
in boiling water with a little
salt, and when tender drain
them. Arrange in a pyramid
on dish, pour over them some
oiled butter and sprinkle with
finely chopped parsley. Many
good cooks add a sprig of mint
while new potatoes are boiling.
The best way TO clean a white
enamel bath is TO put a,little tur-
pentine in saucer, get small
rag and rub the bath all over
with the turpentine, then scrub
well with soap and warm wa
ter. No matter how dirty the
bath is, the dirt will disappear
like magic.
In order to prevent lamp
chimneys from cracking, put
them into cold water and let it
come to a boil. Before taking
the chimneys out the water
should be allowed TO get cold.

There are many different stitches
that may be used in hemming. If we
would be neat and deft needlewomen
we have to realize this fact for one
thing. We must adapt our style to
the fabric on which the hemming is
done. Then we must decide whether
or not the hem should be empha sized
to make a decorative finish, or be as
blindly stitched as possible. The style
of sewing for one sort of hemming is
entirely different from that required
for another. For example, blind
stitching, telling, overcastly, cat

Toy Cleaning Day.

OIIb IIIOIIIbT Sdy >.
A cleaning day with the toys should
be frequent occasion in every fam
lily. So often children are kept i'm
maculate, but are allowed to play with
toys that are positively grimy. Every
thing washable should be washed reg
ularly and summed and dried. Things
not washable should be brushed and
aired in the open sunlight. Children
love to help with this cleaning, and
they learn a valuable lesson in santa
ton by doing so.

square yards. The main reading room
is two stories in height, and will seat
more than 500 persons. That section
of the building containing the stacks
is five stories high and is SO de-
signed that it can be added to as the
demand for greater space grows. The
original section will accommodate
100000 books, the university at pres
ent having about three fifths that
number. 1t is equipped with eleva-
tor service and all other modern lib
rary facilities. The building, which is
of steel and concrete, is fireproof
throughout, in addition to which
there is a special fireproof vault for
the more valuable books.
Connected with the library Is a

Youth of Turkey
Under u. S. Eve

New YORK, June A. PA. K.
Jennings, who recently left for
Turkey. goes to direct what various
church, mission board and welfare
organization leaders described as the
first piece of cooperative effort I'M
dertaken in mutual confidence and
goodwill between Americans and
leaders of the new Turkish Republic
for the youth of Turkey"
Mr.. Jennings, whose home is in
Cleveland, N. Y, has unusual equip
ment for the work because of his
knowledge of the Near East and the
confidence in which he is held by
Turkish leaders, including Mustapha
Renal. When Y. NJ. C. A. boys
work secretary in Smyrna, he led
in the relief efforts which resulted
in the rescue of 100000 Greeks,
Armenian and Jewish refugees who
were sequestered in the city upon
it's capture by Mustapha Renal in
1922. His work won him the favor
of both sides in the conflict, and he
later became one of the commits
sioners for the exchange of prison.
ers. He holds the highest military
and civilian awards from the Greek
government.
Soon after Mr.. Jennings arrives in
Turkey plans will be completed for
the erection at Angora, of the first
of several buildings at various
points to house Turkish American
Clubs. They will be organized uns
der a general committee, on the
ground, of three Turks and three
Americans. The program will be
based on the four-fold service of
the Y. M. C. A. and Y. w. C. A., but
will bear no sectarian or organiza-
ton labels.
Mr.. Jennings said the movement
will be non-political, non sectarian,
international, interracial, seeking to
develop body, mind and spirit by
means of a four-fold programme
tellectuaL, physical, social and
spiritual. This work is to be adapt
ed to the needs and conditions of
the present day Turkey, not as a
foreign, but as an Indigenous move
ment.
Mr.. Jennings ideals and purposes
are shared by Arthur Nash, Golden
Rule" Nash of Cincinnati, who has
pledged $4,000 a year for five years.
Mr.. Nash has provided for an as
sociate in DIR. John B. Ascham of
Cincinnati, scholar and authority on
Turkey. Another sponsor is w. H.
Hoover. of Canton, O.. whose knowl-
edge, growing out of visit to
Turkey, led him voluntarily to make
first substantial contribution to
the budget for this project.
The movement has the approval of

sions, also of eminent leaders in
Christian and philanthropic work in
Guiding the Foreign Division of the
National Council, Y. M. c. A. and
