ON CLEANING
GARMENTS

A LII outer garments, dresses,
blouses, ETC., that are not OF
a washable nature require regular
trips to the dry cleaner, The grlt
and Crime of everyday wear are
not only unpleasant to look upon,
but do definite damage to the
fabric. However, there are dis.
couraging moments when a spot
or spill occurs on a garment Just
back from the cleaners.
From / dry cleaning establish
ment came the following helpful
hints as to what to do and what
NOT to do to freshen up ones
wearing apparel when it is only
slightly soiled or spotted.
The first thing is to brush well
and thoroughly. Everything that
can be brushed off is so much
gain. Dust that might be brushed
off may have part in making
the ring that causes so much
trouble.
Noninflammable cleaning fluids
now are on the market which
remove many stains and are
safer. to use than water. One
y
can use them on practically all
stains on every kind of fabric.
with the assurance that they.
will not discoior the fabric or
set the spot in 1t. They may
not always take out the spot,
but at least they will do no
harm. The base Of these clean.
ing fluids is Observation-Disclosures.
Use them in preference even to
soap and water, for soap and
water set certains. and, more
over, cause watermarks.
Always apply the cleaning fluid
to the wrong side of the fabric.
Use sparingly, so as to avoid
causing the dye to shift. Work
in circle, featlrering the edge
to avoid a ring. Use a light
touch. Do not rub.
To remove CRIME from cuffs
and from the backs of necks OF
dresses, blouses. sweaters and
coats. sponge lightly with car
bon.tetrachloride.

He observed b close connection
between home conditions, parental
intelligence and the mental ratio

tions were generally Tar less inn

occupation, except negatively, e.

After two years. when the chill
dren were visited at home. six

were out OF work. Twenty-Five
were doing unskilled work; six
were doing highly skilled work.
His results show that his
methods were extremely valuable.
Those who took UP the occupa-
ton recommended proved eff
cient and contented On an aver
age they were receiving higher

changed their situations less and

Nearly half Of them disliked

that only because it was not

You can see from this that
when It comes to the question of
a vocation for your child it is
well to avail yourself OF the ex-
pert advice that science has now
made available.
