CARE REQUIRED IN
LAUNDERING WOOLENS

Who has not seen a sweater.
blanket, or some other article
of wool ruined in the laundering
process?" asks Aura |. Keever, in
structor in home economics at
University Farm. What was
once fluffy, light and elastic came
out shrunken, hardened. and dis
colored. Woolens can be laun-
dered successfully, however, if a
few precautions are observed.
Soft water should be used but
if hard water only is obtainable
it should be softened by adding
some mild alkali as borax or am
monia. Heat the water until
lukewarm and add enough mild
white soap to make a good suds.
Be sure soap is thoroughly dis
solved before putting in the
woolens.
The garments should be SOU
sed up and down and squeezed
until clean but not rubbed or
twisted. A hand plunger or vac
uum cleaner is helpful in wash
ing large articles. When the gar
ments are clean they may be
run through a loosely set wiring
err or squeezed dry, but must not
be wrung by twisting. Then they
should be rinsed in water of the
same temperature as the wash
water; more than one rinse is US
ually necessary. White woolens
may be blued slightly if desired.
Hang them outside to dry, in
the shade if it is warm. White
woolens sunburn if hung while
wet in the sun. If they must be
dried in the house do not hang
in too hot a place or they will
discolor and shrink"

DINING CARS ARE
LOSS TO RAILWAYS

St. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 25-Few
travellers give thought to the fact
that railways lose money direct
ly on every meal that is served
in their dining cars.
Approximately 662,2C4 meals
were served in Great Northern
Railway dining cars last year,
and the average price paid for a
meal was 83c. But the wages of
employees, laundry expenses, up
keep of silver, crockery and glass
ware, fuel for cooking, ice and
water and goods supplied brought
the cost of each meal up to $1.23,
making a net loss on a meal serv-
ed of 40c, and a total loss for the
year of approximately $265, $685.
81. And this is not including the
cost of heating, lighting and haul
ing the cars or the interest on the
investment in the equipment,
says Supt. Blair of the Great
Northern Dining Car Service.
The results on other roads are
similar. The last figures avail
able show that the railroads as
whole lose 26c on every meal they
serve. Dining car service is I'M
necessarily elaborate in many in
stances. Savings might be made
if the service were more ordinary
but the travelling public demands
the elaborate.
The railroads in one way turn
their losses into a profit by serv-
ing meals that attract passengers
to their trains. A well managed
dining car service is one of the
most effective advertising medi-
ums available. Dining car service
is an unfailing source of CONVEX
sation among travellers. Hence
the railways accept this good will
as balancing their loss on meals.
Railroads probably never will
make direct revenue from their
dining cars equal the direct cost
of their operation. But they can
charge off their losses and write
them in as profits if they will
utilize the opportunity offered
by superior dining car service to
popularize their trains. That is
what the Great Northern is doing
this year by purchasing twelve
new diners that go into service
on its transcontinental trains.

Small Maiden Had Her
Looks" Right With Her

Professor Thompson of Yale was
commenting on the dissatisfaction
Of humanity. Children" he said,
"wish they we're grownups and old
people wish they we're children. But
there is this difference. When old
people try to act childish, they are
ridiculous, but when children ape
their elders, they are altogether de-
ightful.
"Take little Elinor, for instance,
who is extremely proud Of tiny
mirror inside her equally tiny purse.
While visiting her grandmother, she
was told to run into the bathroom
and look in the glass to see how
dirty her face was, so that she might
wash before dinner.
"My doodnessp she exclaimed,
there's no use wearing out your
mirror. / brought my looks along
right in my vanishing CASE"

Humanity Would Perish
Without the EarthDorm

The. earthworm is a mueh-de-
spised creature, against which war
is waged by both man and birds.
But the earthworm makes agricul-
ture and its many kindred activities
possible. Without it our trees,
plants, and grass could not grow.
Observations taken in Yoruba-
land, West Africa, show that earth
worms are capable of bringing to
the surface annually, in the form of
"casts," $4,000 tons of soil per
square mile. In less than thirty
years every inch of soil to depth
OF two feet is treated in this way,
thus ensuring natural ventilation
and drainage.
In an acre Of average soil there
are roughly 100000 worms, each of
which acts as a miniature mill,
grinding the soil far more finely
than any man-made continuance
could do. When the farmer plows
his land, he merely does on a larger
scale what worms have been doing
for centuries.

To be in style at any formal even
ing function it is absolutely neces-
sary for one to appear in a Soup
and-fish." The 1925 dress clothes
differ in several respects from those
of other years. The round tail has
given way to very pointed one.
Also, the coat lapels are broader and
break higher. Other changes in
clude broader shoulder and narrower
sleeves.
