And yet, strange irony of fate =
\ seed not have been a disaster
aScause only eight months after this
tragic sacrifice, the same cotton was
selling in the open markets of the
world for eighteen cents pound.
The small farmer with his twenty
bales might have paid all his debts
Sud then have deposited four hun
ed dollars in the savings bank,
could ne have held his crop. Clear
" the economies of the cotton in
dustry must be sadly out of Joint
.Ehen so large a section of the ma
don's hard working producers
could be thus imperilled. There
arose from many States a mighty
cry for help to which the whole ma
tion turned its attention.
The President appointed COM
mission to devise measures of tenn
porary relief. Loaning corporations
were formed and millions of dollars
OF credit were subscribed to meet
the emergency, although little of the
money subscribed actually was used:
Cooperative associations in some OF
the States withheld cotton from the
market for a time.

WASHING AND STARCHING
PAINTED WALLS
By Jean Overton

Every wall should have a wash
able surface. For only such a sur
face can be satisfactory from an
economical and a sanitary view
point. In addition, only if you have
walls that are washable, can you
manage to keep the fresh, trim look
that contributes so much to the
charm of any room. The most sim
pie and inexpensive scheme can be
cozy and attractive if it is fresh and
neat at all times.
Walls are especially important be-
cause their surfaces form such a
considerable part of the room. Any
painted wall may be successfully
washed, whether it is plain or deco
rated with some novel treatment.
Stumbled walls, stencils and Tiffany
glazes are as easy to do as a plain
wall finish. Wall paper that has
been vanished may also be washed.
The easiest way to wash a painted
wall is to prepare a solution as fol-
lows. Shave cake Of pure neutral
(non-alkaline) white soap into a
quart of boiling water. Dissolve
about two ounces of glue in another
quart of boiling water, and mix the
two liquids together. A little flour
may be added to make a thicker So
luton, and a little sal soda or
washing powder to make stronger
solution. This jellied cleaning liq-
uid is applied with a soft sponge,
working from the bottom up. The
wall is then wiped down with cham
ois. If the surface is quite soiled it
will be easier to apply the solution
to a wall area with a calcimine
brush, allowing it to stand two or
three minutes to loosen the dirt.
Then wash off with a clean sponge
and pail Of clear water.

Pasteurized buttermilk serves the
same purpose as a starch coating
and is usually easier to apply. 1t is
brushed on and stippled with wall

It is Sc, easy to keep walls in top

carelessness in this respect. If we
live with shabbiness, we cannot help
feeling its depressing effect. Fresh
