BY Cable to The Star.
MADRID. March 3o.-Indications
were forthcoming today, especially from
Socialist circles, that the Spanish cabi-
net will ask the national assembly to
adopt the statute making Catalonia an
autonomous state at an early date.
This move is calculated to strengthen
the ministry under Premier Azana by
rallying to it Catalan support which
might otherwise go to Alexandra Ler-
roux, leader Of the radical party.
In view of the radical party's activ-
ity favoring the dissolution of the ma
tional assembly, Premier Azana and So
cialiSt Minister of Labor Caballero to-
day reiterated that the cabinet takes
the stand that elections should not be
called before the present assembly has
finished the task Of consolidating the
republic by passing fundamental laws.

Others Failed to Account for Lands Near Borneo.

The princess claim was filed last De-
cember. 1t is being investigated by the
legal staff Of the governor general Of
the Philippines. There is no Indication,
however, that the claim is taken Sc
riously in official circles, as the Stim-
son treaty was carefully drawn to settle
the ownership of the maze of islets dot
ting the Sulu Sea.
A number of such claims have been
filed in the past of different Moro lead
ers affecting large number of islands,
even Borneo itself, which the Moros
ruled for some 600 years. The British
and American official attitude has been,
however, that the treaties covered all

little boy, didn't you?" asked the other

reservoir, and from that into the
house.
His wife, an intelligent, educated
woman, keeps the house as neat as

children and doing the cooking. Her
s~toreroon is filed with preserves,
jelly, jam, pickles and all kinds
of canned vegetables, which she
put up herself. There are also

What the House.
wife Should Know
Crocheted and Knitted
Bedspreads

Shake the spread gently to re-
move loose dirt and dust. 1t is
helpful to soak white lace spreads
for a short time. This helps to re-
pove the dust and dirt quickly and
Easily. Colored spreads should new.
r be soaked even for a short time. !.
prepare creamy Lux Suds by dis
Rlving Lux in warm water. Put
the spread, and loosen the dirt
squeezing the suds through and
Through the material, and by gently
patting the maerial up and down
in the suds. Change the suds as
soon as they become soiled. Clean
Lux suds work out the dust and
dirt without rubbing which is likely
to fray sheer spreads. When lifting
lace spreads from the water, it is
with the hands. Materials tend to
be more heavy when wet and the
weight might strain sheer threads.
Thoroughly rinse the spread in
clear, mkewarm water. Three rinSeS
are usually enough, but it is inn
portant to remove all traces of soap
and loosened dirt. Squeeze cut the
moisture. DO not twist the spread.
1t is helpful to roll sheer lace
lspreads in dry turkish towels in or
$der to remove the excess moisture.
,Ghen ease the spread into shape,
And dry it on a flat surface. 1t is
desirable to dry white spreads on
the grass in the sun, as this tends
to whiten them. With heavy spreads
1T is especially important to remove
sts much moisture as possible, and
then to dry them on a flat surface.
Lace spreads should be carefully
eased into shcpe as they are put
down to dry, so that the edges are
straight and the corners are square.
Ironing is usually not necessary if
this is done well.
