Putting Microbes Into Milk.

We have all been taught the dangers
that arise if we allow bacteria to get
into our milk: we shudder to think of
the dread diseases carried by microbe-
infested milk and shun the pitcher
after a fly has fallen into it. But 1t
is the business of some wise men to
raise bacteria for the express purpose
of putting them into perfectly pure
milk. These, however, are friendly
bacteria, very helpful in forming
cream. Different sorts differ in their
effects on the cream, which is why
cream varies so much. Bacteria for
cream making can be sent to the
farmer from their factories by mail.
Now what do you know about that?
Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
l. The sun is one million times
larger than the earth. ,. The sun
is believed to be cooling off. but no
difference in its heat has been OBJ
served in the history of science, so
slow is the change. 3. The sun ro-
tates on its axis. 4. The sun has no
orbit. 3. The sun is moving very
rapidly toward the sun called Vega:
this is in general direction which
on the earth would be called north.

precisely understood; they appear
like storms within the raging fire of
the suns surface.

Ingram Rugs.

Whichever side of an ingram rug
is turned out. it looks identically like
the one that's facing the floor All
of the yarns that actually go into
making the pile of an ingram can he
seen on both face and back. Natur-
ally this gives the rug almost double
wearing qualities.
Ingram rugs are woven like any
plain cloth. The yarn, which is two
or three ply. is dyed before weaving.
The rug gets its name from the mix
ing and weaving of the yarn. The
more closely the weaving is done, or
the greater the number of the
threads. the more durable is the
carpet.
OF course. the better the material
used. the longer the rug will wear.
The all-wool carpet is the best. and
it may be told from a cOtton-tilled one
nv unrayeling an end. Though the
ingrains with worsted warp and wool
en- or worsted filling are the best,
they are also the most expensive
Those made with cotton warp and
wooden filing are cheapest, but they
won't hold their color as well, and
they're likely to shrink.
ANY carpet, regardless of it's cost.
will fade or change color. Worsted
ingram rugs wear better than WOODEN
ones They are made of hairy woods,
which are doubled and twisted after
they've been spun. Worsteds are
harsher than woolens, but they're
made lustrous and durable. Be on
guard against the rugs with dark
patterns. They sopetimes contain a
lot of animal hair which is mixed in
and sold for all wool. If the rug
hasn't been cleansed of oil it will give
poor satisfaction. Naturally. being
oily. it will cling to dirt and dust.
all yarn should be secured before it is
woven into rugs at the mill
Ingram rugs in plain cOlors are
used in some homes where the floors
offer a poor background for small
rugs. Art squares are seamless in
grain rugs in oblonS shapes with
fringed ends The word ingram is
an American word: in Europe the rug
is known as scotch" while in Eng
land it's called 'kidder."
The three best known kinds of in
grain rugs are the extra super.

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Milady's Corset.

The corset, which milady today calls
her "girdle,'' comes to US from
France. where it appeared first about
the time of the Revolution, when
French women affected the Greek
dress. Before that time it was worn
in Germany, and it is there that the
corset in it's modern form is said to
have been invented. For the ultimate
origin of this article of the modern
woman's costume. however, we must
go back much further. for the corset
has a history of great antiquity.
During a very early period in Rome
bandages resembling the modern cor
set were worn at first for the pur-
pose of support, and later, when
slender waist came to be regarded
as a mark of beauty, they were used
to compress the figure. With the
change in dress brought about by the
changing dictates of fashion from
curves to straightline figures. from
the Greek to the Empire or classical
and finally to the more natural lines
of the modern figures, corsets evolved
from the early bandage to the latest
innovation of the corsetiere of today!
The term Corset" is derived
through the Old French "corS' from
the Latin corpus" meaning body"

Gen. Woodruff Dies.

FLATBUSH, Long Island, Septem-
ber 1776.-The cause of American in
dependence lost a noble defender to-
day when Gen. Nathaniel Woodruff
died at Utrecht, near this village. from
the effects of wounds he received on
August 20, when he was captured by
Tories under the leadership of Capt.
Delaney.
For some months Gen. woodruff
was president of the New York Con
vention, the highest civilian office in
the gift of the American patriots of
this State. Then when the British in
vaded Long Island and the necessity
arose for preventing them from seiz-
ing the livestock in Suffolk and
Queens counties Gen. Woodruff left
his seat in the convention and as
sumed the difficult task of rounding
up the fat cattle and sheep and driv.
ing them to the east part of Long
Island out of reach Of the invaders.
In the great excitement and confu-
sion following the landing of the en-
envy and preceding the battle of Au-
gust q. the convention was unable to
send Gen. Woodruff sufficient men for
his purpose. and before he could
round up the animals and lead them
away he was surrounded near Jamaica
and made a prisoner on August %.

A OF CHEER REFLECTED
THIS TREATMENT.

Tho spirit of Summer can be carried
out in decorative schemes for Winter
roulns, and an atmosphere of the out
nj doors can pcrmeate certain rooms
when Autumn days become too cool
for II to bo a pleasure to sit for any
length of time in the open. Those who
delight in the freedom of living as
much as possible outdoors during the
warm weather rejoice that these ways
arc practical to introduce in their
homes This is especially true where
Winters are long and bitterly cold and
tho confinement of a house has to be
endured longer than could be wished
Bat where Winter months are short
they are apt to be rainy and dreary,
instead Of cold and brisk. and so the
cheer of Summer time decoration is
often just as welcome.

Summer Furnishings.
If an entire room can be given over
to Summer or trellis treatment, it can
be made a unique spot, one in which
guests will delight because of it's COM
plete change from the regulation Win
ter decoration. A couch hammock,
with cushions, and a wicker table
alongside does much to give the de-
sired effect. Some of the present
styles of couch hammoclS with their
elaborate upholstery seem more suit
able to sheltered indoor use than to
out-of-doors furniture. Wicker or
painted furniture is correct. The floor

Windows and Walls.
Ivy may be coaXed to climb up slen-
der trel,ises about windows. If the
treliSes themselves are painted in
pleasing contrasting color to the wall
and the vines are struggling and even
not far up on them. their ornamental
value is established. The walls should
be in plain paper or be painted. un
less scenic paper is used. AS this
latter should be in very open design
and depict a scene rather than repe-
titions of small scenes, the paper
would be expensive. Avoid flower pa
pers. They suggest boudors and beds
or roses on which to lie rather than
the vigor of the out-of doors with
blossoms f1ourishing on sturdy plants.

DEMPSEY
ROW IN YANKEE
PARK SEPT. is, MAYBE

New York, July 27-(P)-The
Dempsey-Tunney heavyweight cham
plonship match. pugilistic prodigal
headed back toward the old homestead
the Yankee Stadium, today after pre-
Vlously being turned out of New York
and attempting unsuccessfully to set
tie in Chicago.
The state athletic commission. stern
rather in the plot, reversed its former
stand this afternoon and gave approv-
al TO the match by a vote of two to
one, made possible by an unexpected
switch in sentiment by Commissioner
George E. Brewer
Unless there is further hitch in
the homecoming, due TO the still IN
felentlng opposition of the license
committee, the match will take place
at the American League ball park on
Thursday, September 16. this is Tex
Richards plan. as given official ap-
prevail by the commission, and the pro-
moter, as a result, has abandoned his
protracted negotiations in Chicago to
hurry east, where welcome" is on
the mat once more.
The license committee. a separately
functioning branch of the committee,
has maintained it's attitude of opposi-
ton right along, supporting the lead
ership of the commissions head,
James A. Farley, who held out to the
last ditch today, although in a minori-
ty role
As if to stiffen this opposition, fol-
lowing Farley's defeat by the votes of
Brewer and William Muldoon, the
, chairman of the license committee
Colonel John J. Phelan, today reiter-
ated that the committee would refuse
to grant a license for a Dempsey Tun-
| ney bout. At the same time he threat
ened Richard with the loss of his own
license if the promoter persisted in his
present plans.
On the other hand, Brewer and Null
doom contend the license board must
accept the recommendations of the
commission and that at any rate, it
cannot arbitrarily refuse a license to
any boxer or for any bout except on
strictly legal grounds. Phelan con-
tends that a basis for refusal is pro-
vided by Dempsey's failure to defend
his title here within the stated six
| months limit, but Brewer holds that
the question of eligibility is one solely
| Tor the commission to decide. AL
though Dempsey is not licensed now, il
is Brewers view that he is as eligible
as any other boxer.
Brewer, a lawyer and former chair
man of the commission, now looms as
the leader in the closing manoeuvres
of the battle. Observers seem convinc-
ed his initiative in bringing about a
reversal of the commissions former
stand was based upon thorough knowl-
edge of his ground. 1t may be at least
two weeks. however before final
showdown, because Phelan. head Of
the license committee, is out of town
and its next meeting is two weeks off.
