DON'T WORK
TOO HARD

An eight hour day and a def
mite income of her own-these
should be the aim of the modern
housewife, says Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, noted American fem
mist. And she. can get the first
without any trouble, if she will
only reorganize her housekeeping
and take advantage of the multi
tude Of misunderstanding de-
vices for the home which the pres
entday machine age has brought.
THE habits of the average
housewife are mere hang-overs
from primitive times" ..he de-
clared in a recent issue of Pictorial
review. "She should bring her
mind up to date. Where electric
power is available, a housewife
may reduce her time spent in
drudgery to so small a minimum
as to be astounding. A home
may now be equipped to run as
nearly automatically as any fac
tory
Automatic oil burning furnaces,
dishwashers, dishdryers, automatic
ice-boxes, washing and ironing
machines, electric food choppers,
egg-beaters, cream whippers,
kitchen cabinets-these are the
modern weapons of emancipation,
she says.

HOw to Make a Bag for Rubbers

bottom of the back strip should
be just even.
Baste the pocket pieces in
place at the ends and between
the two strips of carpet binding
that run up and down. regulate
the three pockets, making each
one same width. Trim all bind
ings that overlap on the edges
and bind around three sides,
stitching firmly in place after
basting. At four points across
the top sew four rings on tight.
To correspond with the snaps at
the inside lower edge of the first
pocket strip sew the six other
halves to the snaps in place on
the back. It is well to stay these
by catching them through piece
of black tape on the wrong side
Of the back. Do the same at the
lower edge of the second row of
pockets.
At any time three snaps can
be undone and the whole bag
wiped out and cleaned from top
to bottom with a damp cloth.

new problems presented to the
chemists of the ever helpful Gov
ernment bureaus, which have
solved the difficulty in this wise
These candle wakes consist Of
paraffin in which an organic dye
is dissolved. Remove the paraf
fin as completely as possible by
scraping 1t away, then place
clean blotter on each side of the
fabric over the stain and a warm
iron over the spot. The grease
is melted and Is absorbed by the
blotting paper. Then dissolve the
coloring matter remaining In the
fibre by sponging it with alcohol.
If a slight grease spot still re-
mains, remove it by sponging
with one Of the cleaning agents,
such as chloroforn, carbon tetra-
chloride, ether, gasoline, naptha
or benzol. The first two are the
safest to use, as they ara not In

Take the greatest care in using
any OF the inf1ammable solvents.
1t is best to use them in a shady
place out of doors; If in the
house, by an open window and

Sometimes the part OF the
material having a spot has to be
immersed in a bowl containing
the cleaning fluid. In general
when this is the case, it Is more
satisfactory to immerse the whole
article finally in fresh cleaning
fluid which prevents the forma-

BY HANNAH WING

Rubbers are one of those things
needed badly at times, but apt to
be scattered about at others.
If your coat closet is not so
light as it should be, and if the
overshoes or galoshes of the fam
lily have a penchant for getting
mixed up on the floor, resulting
in frantic search for mates each
rainy morning. as the members
rush off to school or office, then
an oil cloth shoe bag on the back
of the closet door. is just what
you should have. Black oil cloth
bound with green carpet binding
is most effective. The feature of
the bag is six deep, generous
pockets with a device that pre-
vents them from becoming traps
for mud and dirt and allows them
to be cleaned without taking the
bag off the door.
To make the bag buy one yard
of black pebble oil cloth 81 inches
wide, a 1O-yard roll of carpet bind.

you may mention the food ir a
