NEW ENGLAND IS
 BACKING NOSES
N. H. Senator Favored by
 Puritan Delegates

Kansas City. June IS R}-Having ridden to their main goal on the Hoover landslide, New England delegations to the republican na- tional convention made ready today to nominate a candidate for vice president. with United States Sena- tor George H. Moses of New Hamp- shire their predominant favorite.
 Has Three States
 The New Hampshire senator was assured of the unanimous support Of three states on the first ballot, New Hampshire, Maine and Ver- mont. His supporters, who have been conducting an aggressive cam- paign, also reported that he would receive substantial support from states outside New England. It also seemed likely that Moses would re- ceive some votes from the Massa- chusetts and Rhode Island groups neither of which has yet declared itself for any candidate.
 Wait Fuller's Word
 Massachusetts has been waiting word from Alvan T. Fuller of his attitude toward the nomination, al- though the governor previously had indicated that he was not interested in either the vice presidential or even the presidential nomination. It appeared likely that Hanford McNider, former assistant secretary Of war and past national command er of the American Legion. would be the choice of many of the Mas sachusetts delegates, particularly those who favor the nomination of former service man.
 Unless Rhode Island can agree on a candidate before the conven- tion reconvenes today. her votes probably will be divided between Senator Moses and Senator Curtis of Kansas, whose daughter, Mrs. Leona Curtis Knight, is a member of the Rhode Island group.
 Rhode Island cast one vote for Senator Curtis for the presidential HSulllidliOI. u "dS lIlt Ol1V NOlc from all New England that did not go to Hoover.
 New England Prominent
 New England figured prominently in starting the avalanche that swept Hoover to the nomination on the first ballot. New Hampshire was the first state in the country to elect at the presidential primary a slate of delegates favorable to Hoover. It was headed by Cover

COMMONS AGAINST
 THE PRAYER BOOK
Dire Results Predicted Follow.
 ing the Latest Rejection

London. June 15 R)-The house Of commons has dealt a death blow 10 the second revision of the book Of common prayer. Various results were predicted in debate and by newspaper commentators today. These included:
 Eventual establishment of the state church,
 The resignat tion of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
 A lessening of the authority of the bishops.
 The vote was 2oO for and 266 against. This showed a ma ajority of 46 against the measure as compared with B last December when the first revision was defeated. Since then the book has been further chansed in the hope of reconciIing discordant elements but without success. The increase of the maior- ity was attributed to the votes of members who had refrained from going on record last December.
 AhS cpht SdiuC lhdIilly Ou lll6 question of reservation of the sacra- ment. Opponents of the books said this inevitably would lead to ador- ation of the conscrated clements and thus give entrance to the Ro- man Catholic doctrine of transub- stantiation. Advocates of the revi- sion denied this and emphasized that the reservation of the conse- crated bread and wine would be permitted only for the benefit of the sick and dying.
 Issue Warning
 Warning against rash or irregu- lar action" and plea for patience was made after the rejectian in a Joint statement by the Archbishops of York and Canterbury. The state- ment said:
 "The prayer book has failed to ob- tain full parliamentary sanction. Some of those who eagerly support sd 1t as a right step on the roadway to orderlin"ss and harmony and for a new freedom for active service at hoHle anu oNeTseds may De lea by disappointment or irritation to ad- Nocate fort hwith rash or irregular action. May We plead for quietness, for a little patience and for abst9r- ton from any angry or unkindly word.
 "The new responsibility which has been laid upon the bishops of the church by the vote is very grave. They are fully alive to it and will. with the least possible delay,

give such counsel and direction as may be required. This must needs take time and meanwhile prayers will not be lacking that they may be guided to interpret Gods will and purpose for the church."
 Winston Churchill. chancellor of the exchequer. warned the house. that rejection of the book would bring disestablishment of the church nearer. He secuted the idea that a twentieth century lay body like par lament could control the church in spiritual matters. He said that if the church was refused the spiritual relief it sought. severance would un- doubtedly follow.
 Rise Slowly
 After the vote had been taken the Arch bishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London remained togeth- CT until the peers gallery was near ly emptied. Then they arose and slowly walked out.
 Newspapers commented that the rejection might hasten the resigna- tion of the Archbishop of Canter- bury. This has long been forecast. He has been archbishop 25 years and is 50 years old. The health of the primats never has been robust and it has suffered through the pro- longed activities and anxieties of the revision, which he supported. Sir Thomas Inskip, attorney gen. eral, said passage of the measure tous change in the religious history of England. He hoped that it would be possible to bring in to the church elements now outside and recreate it. The church, he said, must be the church of the people of Eng land"
 Weakened By Rejection Premier Baldwin said rejection would weaken the hands of all those in authority in the church for a long time to come and would give im- mense impetus to the very forces which those who opposed the book desired to curb.
 Sir William Hicks as serted the bishops of Manchester and Lincoln had announced their re- fusal to prosecute clergy who might infringe on regulation in the prayer book. The bishop Of Lincoln was stated to have also said that noth- ing could prevent the use of the book even if it was not passed.
 The house Of bishops probably will meet to discuss the position in W which the rejection has placed them.
 It was regarded as probabl that Sir William Joynsou-Hicks and the bishop of Norwich and a half dozen other prelates who opposed the book might cooperate in an alternative revision. If they succeed in com- pleting such a revision. it would have to run the same gauntlet Of church assemblies and parliament and any decision on 1t would be far distant.

Feathers Requires Care

Now wash the ticking thorough
ly inside and out. Rinse we'll,
wiring and hang up to dry in the
sun. For the feathers, make
solution of borax and water,
using a tablespoon of borax to
each gallon of water, and use
plenty of water. Put the cheese
cloth bag of feathers into this
and souse it up and down until
the feathers seem free from dirt,
using a clean water for each bag.
Do not rub the feathers as
rubbing breaks them. Rinse well
and hang in the sun. This inn
plies that you will choose a
sunny. windy day to wash the
pillows as sun and wind not only
help to dry the feathers quickly
and prevent them from moulding,
but also do much to enliven old
feathers. When the pillows are
thoroughly dry, put them back
into the clean cases using the
same method that was used for
taking them out. Be sure to run
the strong, close basting thread
across the ripped end of the tick
before separating it from the bag
again. The tick then may be
closed securely.

The other day one asked US
how to wash feathers. Our first
impulse was to answer, why wash
them? Dust them, use the
vacuum cleaner on them, hang
them in the wind and sun-for
nothing restores resiliency to
feathers like the sun and air
take off the casing and wash 1t,
transferring to new cases the
while, use muslin slips over the
cases and wash these and you
will seldom have to wash the
cases. All information was offered
and then suddenly it came to
mind that sometimes feathers do
have to be washed and the job
is difficult one at best and re-
quires care lest feathers be lost
in transit, or broken or massed
in the washing.
If the ticking is not too soiled,
wash the feathers in their orig
inal cases. If the ticking is badly
soiled, there is no use washing
dirt into the feathers so make
as many slips OF heavy cheese
cloth as you have pillows to
