There is one time in the year
when Senators, Representatives

officials, generally agree-when all
are brothers and sisters under the
skim" and that is when the circus
comes to Washington. Ringing
Brothers have made their annual
visit to the National Capital and
their capacity performances absO-

notion that anybody may have that
the circus is always the same" 1t

great big new white tent and sat in
a new red chair and looked out on
bigger and better show than there
had ever been before inside a cir
Gus tent. Everything was new and
resplendent.
Less than fifty years ago the four
Ringing Brothers started out from
BarabOO, Wisconsin, in the "Clas-
sic Concert Company" which show

part. Today John Ringing is the

WILL YOU TAKE A
FRESH AIR CHILD
THIS SUMMER?

1t is Friendly Town Season again.
BY that is meant that the time is at
hand when the Fresh Air children
from the crowded sections of New
York City are ready for your invi-
tatiOn TO visit Milford and vicinity
again. Last year was the first time
that Milford had ever been asked to
aid in this wonderful work and
what a response was given! Chill
dren came, were placed in homes
where they were made happy for
two weeks and then sent back to
their homes with a new conception
of what life is like in the fresh air
and open country. Each year it is
the desire of those in charge to in
crease the number of children and
the invitations cannot come too
thick. nor too fast for the commit
tee to fulfill your requests. 1t
would make you have a comfortable
feeling to have given some of these
tenament children, who have such
a little in life, a pleasant vacation
with all the nourishing food they
could eat. Some of the children,
who were here last year, have al
ready asked to come again, because
they enjoyed their stay so much. If |
it is possible for you to take one of |
these children in your home for two |
weeks, and be a mother and a help |
to hoy and girl or to two boys |
and girls, you will be helping more |
than you can realize. Some of the
and the homes from
which they come have such a pitt
'ul side to them that one is made to
realize how fortunate those of us
who have plenty, are. The time for
he children to come to this section
Will be about the second week in
July. The committee in charge is
of Mrs. Bayard Wharton,
Mrs. Davis r. Grier, Mrs. G.. Mar

CONCERNING GARMENT BAGS

There seems to be considerable
Misunderstanding on the part of
housekeepers as to the real func-
tion of garment bags, says DR.. E. A.
Back, of the Bureau of Entomology,
United States Department of Agri-
culture. These bags, says Doctor
Back, are frequently called meth
proof" not because there are any
properties in the bag which will kill
moths or moth eggs but because the
bags can be closed so tightly that
moths can not enter.
Garments stored in sn-called
moth proof bag will be protected
against the insects only if they go
into the bag absolutely free of
moths, moth larvae, or moth eggs,
and if the bag is not torn. Doctor
Back gives the following sdgses-
tions for using garment bags:
First, cleanse the garment by
laundering or by dry cleaning. If it
is already clean, lay it in the sun for
several hours and brush II thor
Oughly. Moths can not live long in
the sunlight. A thorough brushing
and shaking should dislodge any
moth eggs that, might be in tn? folds
or seams. Cleaning with the vacu-
um cleaner attachment is an added
precautio1.
Next, put the garment into a bag
on the hanger provided for it. AMI
close the bag, making sur it is abb
solutely tight.
The hook part of the hanger us
ually extends through the opening
at the top of the bag, so that the
bag with its contents can be hung
over hook or clothes pole in the
closet. Unless this opening it clos !
ed, no matter how small it is, there
is danger of moths entering the bag. !
So seal the opening, and in placing
the hanger or moving it about, be
careful not to enlarge or to tear out
the opening itself.
