The increase in Federal-aid

to the recent emergency appro

The opposition which finally

the nature of wool fibre. When
held under the microscope, one
sees that it's surface is covered
with little horny scales. The fibre
expands and loosens the scales
when wet. If dried improperly
these scales interlock and the goods
shrinks and becomes hard.

Hot water is injurious as is sud-

The rule for washing blankets
is: Use warm, soapy soft water,
breaking the water with borax if
necessary. Wash and rinse in this
warm water to which mild soap
flakes are added, even the rinse
water being a trifle soapy. Wiring

the blankets are clean and well
sealed.

Rugs

rloors should be darker than the
-alls Remember this in buying
mos or tinting the walls. A large
nlsin rug makes a room look larg-
: and more quiet and dignified.
Small, gaily colored rugs do not
seem related to the furniture but
appear like SO many floating is
lands.
With figured walls of fancy
furniture, plain rugs make the
most pleasing background. With
Main walls, patterns may be used,
6ut the vague, grayed down pat
terms are always in best taste.
Too distinct or high colored pat
terms are crude.
In placing small rugs, make
them parallel with the walls; a
rur in front of the davenport, one
N front of the mantel and one be-
tween the windows. A rug should
lever seem to divide the rooms in
10 halves.
Chenille is one of the most ex-
pensive and highest grade of rugs.
Wiltons and Administers are the
best investment for the average
home. For bedrooms there are re-
yercible rugs; felt, fibre or rag
rugs. Spanish or Indian designs are
appropriate for the boys room.
Hooked and braided rugs are pop
ular. In the dining room use a fig
ured rug so that the inevitable
spots will not show on it.

Vines

A gentle drapery is graceful
vine. It wells many unsightly sur
faces and is especially kind to
brick and stone buildings. It breaks
up large, flat backgrounds and
adds a bit of green to contrast de-
lightfully to the monotony Of brick
factory walls or the brick walls of
large old house. Try training the
Boston Ivy or Virginia Creeper
over the walls Of your house or
about the porch or garage and see
how much more loveable the place
will look.
Never set a vine of any kind
right up against the building, but
eight or ten inches away. If the
soil is poor, dig a hole about the
size of bushel basket and fill it
with good earth. For the first few
years, protect the vines with
stakes in circle about them. Put
a bushel of stable manure about
each vine after it is planted.

Early Bouquets

good for this use, and pussywil-

of Marshal of the Rumanian army

whether he accepted or did not but
