and picnicS being what they are, the
upholstery of our car continually Suf-
ferS from spots. On one trip it is
marked by sticky fingers or muddy
paws; on another by sandwiches butter
side-down and melting ice cream cones
So please tell me how to clean wool vel
vet upholstery.
The textile people at the Bureau OF
Home Economics say: Suit the treat
ment to the spot" And that goes for
automobile seats as well as clothes and
table linen. All grease spots, for ex-
ample, whether they come from butter
cream, mayonnaise or car grease, need
good grease-solvent to remove them.
Carbon tetrachloride is an excellent
grease solvent and has the added adj
vantage of being safe-that is, non
inflammable You might keep little
bottle of carbon tetrachloride in the
pocket of the car along with a soft
cloth ready for emergencies. Yes and
your car-cleaning kit might also in
clude a little package Of absorbent
powder. AS soon as a spill occurs, you
can apply the powder and prevent the
spot from spreading. Mud and sand
will respond best probably to a whisk
broom. Let mud dry on the seats and
then brush it off thoroughly. AS for
the sticky spots, damp cloth will
usually do the most for them.
Now and then, of course, the seats
will benefit from good all-over clean
ing. You can give them surface
cleaning by applying thick lather with a
brush or by using carbon tetrachloride
on a cloth and applying with quick,
straight strokes. If you use thick,
mild soapsuds for this cleaning, apply
it much as your husband applies lather
when shaving. Never let the dampneSs
soak into the seat. Brush the lather
over the seat with rotary motion
covering a small area at time. Work
fast). Remove the lather by scraping
off with a spatula and then wipe the
area with a cloth wrung out of clear
warm water to remove the last traces Of
the soap. AS you apply the lather from
one section to another, be sure to over
lap so that you will leave no unwashed
streaks. When the fabric is dry, brush
up the velvet with a medium-stiff brush.
If you clean with carbon tetrachloride,
moisten a cloth with it, work with light
straight strokes, and avoid rings by
spreading the moisture over the ma
terial surrounding the spot.
So much for general cleaning. Now
about one or two special spots that this
listener and others have mentioned. If
fruit is crushed on Car seats, scrape off
as much as possible. Then use cloth
wet in clear water, hot water preferably.
Never use soap of any kind on fruit
stain A cloth dampened in hot water
is also the thing for coffee stains; and
for candy, cake icings, or any other
sticky spots. If coffee contains cream,
try plain water first and then a grease
solvent. The same goes for ice cream.
The sooner you can treat spots on car
seats, the easier they will come out. So
during these picnic-days especially a
little cleaning kit kept in the car will
often save car seats and clothes as well.

Minnesota Lake-The CIO and AFL

week such troubles hit a Minnesota

balloting they decided to strike for five
cents a bushel. Mr.. Putt was called to
confer with the leader of the youthful
strikers and an agreement was reached
whereby they got their five cents.

to the effect that Outer Mongolia,
closely allied with the U. S. S. R.,
may shortly announce voluntary
dissolution" of the Mongolian re-
public and throw her lot with the
Chinese regime.
What most interested diplomats
in connection with these reports
was the existence of mutual as
sistance pact between the Soviet
Union and Outer Mongolia.
This pact, in existence since
1884, pledges each government to
give all assistance, including mill
tary aid, in case either is at
tackled"
Whether this agreement would
remain in effect following disso-
luton of the Outer Mongolian re-
public, as such, and establishment
of Outer Mongolia as part of
China, was a question that aroused
extreme interest here.
Such a development would real
ize the worst fears of the japanese
who have taken every possible pre-
caution, military and diplomatic
including that of driving a wedge
between North China and Soviet
Russia-to prevent Soviet inter
vention in the conflict on the side
of China.

War office authorities claimed
foreign reports were the first
inkling" they received of this af
fair. 1t was admitted Hashimoto
is the "fire-eating" type of Japa
nese military officer and that he
was connected" with the military
uprising in Tokyo in February,
1886, in which several cabinet min
listers we're slain.
Foreign speculation as to
whether Lieut.. Col. Iwane MatSui
would dare to punish" HaShi-
moto for his asserted part in the
Panay incident has brought to
light the possibility of momentouS
events, not only for Japan, but for
the entire Far East, in the opinion
of the highest government author
tiles in Tokyo.
Matsui has been asked to sub
NIT a complete report on Hashi-
moto and on all charges linking
him to the Panay incident.
The affair also brought closer to
q crisis the growing rumorS of a
rift between the government and
the Japanese army.
CRISIS AT HAND
One source, a high government
official, told International News
Service that Hashimoto might con-
ceivably force Matsui, the Japanese
commander in China, out of his
post and even out of the army be-
fore Hashimoto would submit to
punishment for his asserted deed,
which has brought Japanese-Ameri-
can relations to a crisis.
MatSui, a relatively moderate
and conservative japanese COM
mander, has long been in disfavor
with the younger japanese Off
GERS and fascist groups"-the
same elements which we're respon-
Sible for the 1886 n ilitary revolt.
RATED AS POLITICIAN
HaShimo inves tigation
showed, also was involved in the
abortive, October. 1885, coup and
in other similar movements prior
to the Manchurian outbreak.
His adherents, it was said, rate
Matsui a mere politician, rather
than a military man, and would
like to see him ousted from the
army. It appears that the Panay
incident may prove "test case"
The feud between the conflict
ing conservative and aggressive"
elements within the Japanese
army has gone so deep that during
October, MatSui'S name was never
once mentioned in news messages
from Shanghai.
Meanwhile, it was said, Japan
ese army officers "writhed in
enmity" against his appointment
as commander.
Despite the internal strife, the
Japanese army captured Shanghai
and Nanking, but many of its
otficers-Some of them highly
powerful-took every opportunity
to make life miserable for MatSui,
it was learned.
1t was limited they even may
have disregarded orders not to
attack neutralS in order to throw
the onus for such attacks on
Matsui and thus force him to
resign, or submit to recall.
Should such prove to be the
truth, it would mean that the
Panay and three other American
vessels were sunk, with loss of
five lives, as a sacrifice on the
altar of Japanese military
jealousy.
