Septernber's a glorious month with
its crisp cool days and changing
foliage A month to be enjoyed-it
there's time. But the calendar OF
housekeeping duties makes playtIme
rather dubious for mother.
Fall cleaning and getting the family
ready for school are the two big Jobs.
No lodging thcm-they must be done.
But there are ways OF easing them a
bit.
Probably at least thirty per cent OF
the housewives own an electric
vacuum cleaner but whether or not
they get the iull benefit OF ii is an
other, matter.
One OF the most important things
is to make sure that the cleaner itself
is clean. See that it IS free from dust
and dirt-ol il according to instruc-
tons and be certain that Dag and
brush are in order. If you've been
away all summer ii is only fair to the
cleaner to sec that it is spruced up a
bit before gong into active service
again And don't try To clean the
whole house without emptying the
bag.
Of course there are many phases
OF housekeeping that can't be simpli-
fed by a vacuum cleaner; for instance,
such as washing windows and paint
ing, polishing furniture and wipIng
the glass on pictures.
| But rug cleaning can be done en-
tirely by vacuum. Running a cleaner
quickly over a rug will take up the
surface litter and give an appearance
OF cleanliness-bu to really clean way
down into the nap, run the cleaner
slowly and evenly over the rug. Do
not exert yourself by pushing il VIC
lently back and forth as YOU did your
old carpet sweeper - Just glide 1t
slowly-let the motor do the work
1t is not necessary to take the rugs
out and beat them for a thorough
cleaning. Try this for your own sat
isfaction. Give one of your small
rugs a slow thoro ugh cleaning with
your vacuum outht-then take, it out
on the line and beat it. You'll be
pleasantly surprised at the absence Of

tomorrow will say:
Trade is still fair to good, but
weather conditions, rains and floods
in the west and southwest, and the de-
cline in cotton to the lowest price
since 1921. have exercised a retarding
effect alike on harvesting and sale OF
the crops involved and on purchases
of merchandise in the areas affected
In addition, blowing for and planting
of wheat has been delayed in several
states of the winter wheat belt.
Effects of these conditions are reg
istered in September bank cIearings
totals in the northwest, parts of the
central west and many cities of the
south, in which latter group effects OF
the coast storm and slow collections
due to many suspensions of country
banks in July are also visible.
All these features, however. while
tending to retard. have not checked
the onward progress of fall wholesale
trade, which has felt stimulating eff
fects of fall festivals and state fairs
and the quickening effect of dy
progress of industry and the reported
favorable condition of employment.

The bulk Of these was being carried
by the Pennsylvania Railroad, which

to 10000 persons between am. and
pm. The other thousands were
making the trip on other railroads
and by automobile and busses

captains of industry men and women,
whose names fill pages of society's

with the equally ardent fans clutching

Nothing in sporting history has APP

tacle. AS many followers Of sport
