- UGS of the washable type are
becoming more and more
popular every day. There are the
old fashioned rag rugs, woven or
braided, various other sorts of fab,
rio rugs. and even hooked yarn,
rugs which have to be cleaned IL
they are used constantly.
Washing with soap and water is,
really the only satisfactory method
of cleaning these rugs. And in
spite of the general impression,
they can be washed just as well
and almost as easily without a
washing machine as with one.
For hand washing of rugs, the
equipment consists of a wide table
or bench, stiff scrubbing brush
and a bar of laundry soap or box
of Clipped soap.
Spread the rug over the table.
Soak with water and sprinkle well
with soap chips or rub the surface
with white naptha soap. This will
cleanse thoroughly without fading
even blues or pinks.
With the brush scrub the sur
face vigorously, adding more soap
and water if necessary. Move the
rug along until it is all scrubbed.
Then rinse thoroughly-th quick
est way is to hang it on the line
and turn the hose on it. If this
is not feasible, scrub it with clear

CHAPTER 70
The Flight to Treasure Trove

At the sound of the blast, Komi,
who was riding not far off, spurred
his horse and dashed to the scene.
He arrived at about the same mo-
ment as Taggart and his aides, and
kept himself under cover of the brush
where he could watch. While Tag
CART, Willets and the others bent
over the unconscious form Of Mary,
Buck Mcleod went off toward the
spot where Terence had last abeen
seen.
He returned excitedly to Taggart
with a piece of parchment upon
which was part of crudely drawn
map.
II found this in his coat" he said
Taggart looked at the may with
wide eyes.
At that moment they heard loud
buzzing sound in the sky, and look.
ing up saw an airplane approaching
| descending toward them.
Buck, take the map and beat it to

there in an hour-come on men, let's

one know we had anything to do with

AS they started riding for cover

THE TUBERcuLAR CHILD

Only generation ago the victim of
tuberculosis had usually reached ma
turity by the time the disease had
claimed it's victim. Now that is
changed and great advances have
been made in it's early recognition, as
well as entire prevention. The inten-
sive child welfare campaign has done
much to conquer the foe.
Physicians agree that the "tuber-
culous child of today is the consump-
tive adult of tomorrow" Diagnosis
of this condition should bring immedi-
ate remedial action that should no
more be denied a child than should
iood or shelter.
tuberculosis can be conquered
more easily in childhood than at any
other period. A few months spent in
a sanatorium, if this is necessary, a
regimen of increased rest and food,
or attendance at a fresh air class, are
measures that may save him from
uSdIu VI d lllc VI luVdllulSLu. Liz
choice of these must be left to the
physician, it is matter of judgment
too hazardous for any but the most
competent arbiter.
Children who are ten per cent I'M
derweight or do not gain properly,
who have frequent "colds" cough,
hoarseness, chronic eye or ear trou-
bles, boils, skin-sores, and swollen
glands, and those who are GONZALES
cent from illness such as pneumonia,
bronchitis, measles and whooping
cough, should be examined with spe-
cial reference to tuberculosis. Stress
should be laid upon the Importance of
examinations both before and after
removal of tonsils and adenoids.
If the disease is present in house
hold, every member of that home, and
especially the children, should be ex-
amined for possible infection. Nearly
one hundred per cent of children hav-
ing tuberculous parents are infected
/. prior to the age Of fourteen years.

NRined. Give the child his chance!

rs. C. Graduates Haven
Huge Earning Power:

The earning power of graduates
from institutions such as the State
College of Washington has been COM
puted to be about $4,000 more dur
ing the remaining part of their life
than it would have been had the edu-
cation stopped with the high school
diploma. Five hundred of these young
people are being thrown out into life
of the state annually.
At this rate, the educational service
of the institution is worth 500 times
$4,000 in the lifetimes of graduates
$35 100000 each year, increase in ag.
gregate earning power for the lifetime
of the graduates.
There are approximately 500 young
people graduating from the four-year
courses of the State College of Wash.
ington, each year. There are in the
state today nearly 10000 people who
have attended college instruction on
the campus of the State College. The
commercial and industrial life Of the
state is touched at almost every point.
The work of the State College is
bound up with the future of the state
itself. Its experimental and research
work in agriculture is today increas
ing the returns from our farms by a
sum in excess of seven millions an
nually.
The extension service which takes
| the results of the work of our own
experiment station, and the work OF
others scattered throughout the ma
ton, to the farmers-is estimated by
the farmers-this phase Of the work
Ito be worth in increased produc
ton, not less than four million dollars
annually.

Clallam's First Road
Was Built in 1859

PORT ANGELES.-That the first
county road in Clallam County was
built at old Dungeness in the year
1859 and that it is still in use was
the statement made by County Engi-
neer Frank Sullivan in speech made
by him before the Clallam County
Road Mems Association. Mr. Sulli-
van also gathered the fact from the
records of his office that the first
Board of County Commissioners in
the county functioned in 1858, and
that they were Dungeness residents,
who met at each others houses. The
first road contract in the county that
is recorded was in 1864 when Lyman
Stevens took the job of building Il
road that ran for distance of four
miles at the contract price Of 5000 a
mile.

TWO LINERS URGED
FOR EUROPEAN RUN

CONSTRUCTION of two $4,000 900
~ liners to round out the fleet of
the United States Lines, operating
from New York to Europe, is urged
by Edward A. Filene, the Boston fl
nancier, in letter to the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States.
Mr.. Filene pointed out that there is a
shortage of passenger liners under
the American flag, and that as private
capital cannot build the ships under
existing circumstances, Congress
should not follow the European idea
of three class vessels, but should or
der them built on the one class, or
American, plan. He expressed the be-
lief that new ships of this kind would
permit the development of ocean
transportation and would lead to a
great volume of travel to Europe at
the low rates which would be possible
under this plan. 1t is estimated that
the ships suggested would be of about
10000 gross tons, making % to %
knots speed. The expenditure would
be justified, Mr.. Filene said, by the
prospect that the ships would be prof
table commercially, and also were
needed to serve as naval auxiliaries
and transports in national emery
ency Mr.. Filene urged the Chamber
include this recomm endation in his re-
port to Congress and said that by
doing so it would be performing a
great service for the American Mer-
chant Marine, and the country in gen

of the Commercial Importing Co.,
who has been travelling through South
American countries in the interest Of
his firm. This particular kind of COT

and hustled the last Of the steers
across the stream.
We've got to act quick" he yelled
to Willets as they plunged their
horses into the creek and started to
ford it. THAT bird O'Rourkes rid
ing fool, and he and the girl will be
on our trail before we know it."
Arrived on the other bank, Taggart
shouted to the cowboys:
Run em into the pot hole. Well
dry gulch 'em till we get chance
to get 'em away
The cowboys whooped it up and
started the herd toward the single
narrow entrance to the pot hole-a
curious freak of the Wilderness
closed basin-like plateau surrounded
by high rocky cliffs. The cattle were
almost in a stampede as the whoop-
ing cowboys by herculean efforts
raced them madly through the one
narrow pass entering this place.
Standing off on their horses and
watching Taggart and Willets con-
graduating themselves as they saw
the last bunch of steers running in
through the pass. Looking back to-
ward the stream, Taggart saw two
forms on horses splash in from the
other bank.
~ knew it-there comes O'Rourke
and the girl" he cried Were just
in time-now to plant the sticks and
close it up"
They dismounted, ran to the gap,
laid heavy charge Of dynamite,
lighted fuse, remounted and rode
out Of sight.
AS they concealed themselves at
safe distance with the other men,
Taggart said:
when that goes up and closes the
gap no one will stir them steers until
we're ready to-"
Willets pointed toward the bank of
the stream.
Look, there they are" he cried.
They saw Terence and Mary com
ing out of the water and riding, furi-
ously, up toward the pothole en-
| trance.
| Taggarts face blanched.
"Quick-warn them of the blast"
he cried.
His men remained stock still.
do you hear?" yelled Taggart
angrily with an oath.
Still the men remained motionless,
and Buck Mcleod answered.:
Its too late-we'd be blown to
pieces ourselves if we go up there
now
Watching, they saw Terence on his
horse mounting to the top Of the
ledge while Mary waited just below.
They saw him reach the summit and
look down into the pothole, then wave
his arms excitedly ito Mary, and
pointed down into the pothole where
he had discovered the cattle. They
saw Mary wave back and
BOo-O-O-OOM!!!
The blast was off. The air was
filled with broken boulders, rocks,
| chips stone dust and smoke Tons
of debris were sliding into the gap
which had served as entrance to the
