HOWTO REMOVE STAINS

In treating stains with javelle

javelle water to the stain with medi-
cine drOpper. Do not allow the javelle
water to remain in contact with the
fabric for more than one minute. II
necessary, the entire garment may be
placed In the liquid. Then apply a
solution containing one-fourth ounce
of sodium thiosulphate and 0ne-eighth
ounce of SO per cent acetic acid in two
quarts Of water. Sodium thiosuIphate
('hypO'O Is found in many homes
where amateur photography is being
done and is very effective in removing
the chlorine which remains in the
fabric after treatment with javelle
water. Rinse thoroughly. Oxalic acid
solution may be used instead of the
thiosulphate.
If allowed to remain too long in
contact with the fibers, javelle water
rots even linen and cotton materials.
1t should therefore always be followed
very promptly by solution of THO
sulphate, and the fabric rinsed thor
oughly to remove all traces of the
chemical. With persistent stains jaw

times. Commercial ink removers are
similar in action to javelle water and
are very convenient for removing
many stains besides ink spots.

SEEKS OPEN REEDBIRD SEASON
Senator Bayard Appeals to Advisory
Board for 1000 Hunters

Appealing on behalf Of about 1000
Delaware hunters, who signed a pc
tition and forwarded it to him, Sen
ator Bayard asked the Advisory Board
which functions under the Migratory
Bird Treaty Act, to which Canada and
the United States are parties, to per
nit the shooting of reedbirds in Del
aware next fall. This year, the re
strictions prevented shooting of these
birds in Delaware at the time of their
temporary stay Of about month.
Senator Bayard told the board that
huntsmen familiar with reedbird
shooting in Delaware were earnestly
Of opinion that shooting can be per
mitted from September / to October !
without danger Of extinction Of the
species. He asked that next years
regulations permit an open season
covering September The board an
nounced that it would take the matter
under consideration. In 1918, the
board was induced to suspend the ban
in Delaware for five years, and at the
end Of that period an extension Of
three more years was granted, carry
ing the open season through 1926. Ap-
peal for an open season for 1927 was
not made util last August, too late
for action by the board, which meets
only once a year, in December. The
reedbird shooting in Delaware is
chiefly in a stretch of about 40 miles
in New Castle county.
