housekeeping Hints

Spring housekeeping is a duty
facing homemakerS at this time of
the year. Here are few suggestions
for making the job easier.
In the first place. housekeeping
should be organized. Just one room
at time and the job well done is
a good rule.
WingoW cleaning may be well done
using paper instead Of cloth. Choose
soft paper that does not lint. Var
ious cleaning preparations may be
used with either paper or cloth. Clear
water With a fey drops of ammonia,
or clear water with about one table
spoon OF washing soda dissolved in
the pail make efficient cleansers. On
very cold days the cloth may be
moistened with alcohol or good kero-
sene. windows should be cleaned
when the sun is not shining on them
directly, as it causes uneven evapora-
ton Of the cleanser and gives a
streaked surface.
For cleaning Of vanished or oiled
woodwork, the following mixture is
good: One quart Of hot water, three
tablespoons Of boiled linseed oil. and
one tablespoon Of turpentine. Wash
the woodwork with Il soft cloth
Wrung out in this mixture, kept
warm by setting over hot water. Do
not heat directly on the stove be-
cause the turpentine is inflammable.
Polish the woodwork dry with a
second cloth. Discard the mixture as
1T becomes .Soiled and mix fresh
supply.
Give upholstered furniture good
sun bath at least twice a year. This
will prevent moths. especially if the
upholstery is kept free of dust.

We are asking everyone as they
drive through the country to notice
the difference in the places where
the houses are underpinned and
planted so as to at least act as a
screen and the one that you pass
where everything under the house
is in plain view. Also notice the ones
with green lawn and compare them
with the naked sandy yard.
Applications are still coming in for
the mattress project. We are urging
all those who are eligible and want
a mattress to get in their applications
at once. We must hurry and get our
first order off,
How much skim milk may be sub
stituted for other ingredients in poul-
try feeds?
Skim milk, clabber, or buttermilk
may be substituted for all dried milk
products, one-hali of the fish meal,
and one-half Of the meat meal re-
commended for the poultry ration.
When the substitution is made for
these amounts, three gallons of the
iskim milk or other products should
be fed per day to each 100 hens. The
success of these substitutions will de-
pend upon the regularity with which
the milk is fed. Unless there is an
ample supply available at all times
no substitutionS should be made.
The tobacco plant beds should be
IploWed up Immediately after the
plants are pulled and all remaining
plants killed. Thousands of insect

DETROIT, Sept. 23.-The motor
car industry still is encountering
difficulty getting into full output
Wards Automotive Reports indicates
in its current issue. Because Of
delays incident to ironing out as
sembly bugs" the September pro-
duction total probably will be
around 100000 units, the trade pub
lication adds.
Assemblies last week numbered
1890 cars and trucks. compared
with 63.240 in the previous period.
This volume probably will be run
up to 100000 units during the cur
rent week.
Fair Reception Reported.
Commenting upon the public re-
action to new models, Wards says:
Fairly good reception is being
experienced by dealers whose COM
panies have announced their 194l
models. 1t must be said that the
response, while good, is not super
lative.
Companies expect that the final
third of September will go a long
way toward outlining the reaction
to 194l jobs. Choice will be
sufficiently wide to stimulate buy
ing, weather appears to have fairly
good outlook and all the enthusiasm
of the new-car year will be in full
swing
Reviewing production activities of
the leading volume plants, the sur
vey says that at Plymouth a second
night line began operations last
week. indicating that production
shortly would move toward an all
time high after the branch plants
begin to move at full speed

Sharp Recovery Seen
In Export Shipments
For August
Commerce Department
Reports Further Drop
In Months Imports
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
United States exports rebounded
in August to s349, 100000.
In July the collapse of France and
the blockading of the Mediterranean
caused a drop in exports to s317-
OIL 900, but the Commerce Depart
ment In a monthly report said TODAY
increased British purchases had
compensated for these losses during
August.
Imports. however. declined from
$232 ,256 900 in July to S22O,2l7.OOO in
August.
Exports during the first eight
months Of 1910 went to a total of
s2,734 ,6l6 900 and imports to sl746,-
$1,000, an export balance of $685.
$4,000. In the similar period last
year exports totaled $1,895. .745, 900,
imports $1438,99l 900, and the ex-
port balance to S456,754,0OO.
Throughout this 1910 period war
transactions dominated the figures
more and more. In August, for in
stance, the export increase was
confined almost entirely to metals,
machinery, aircraft and other We
hicles. Shipments of other items,
particularly agricultural products,
generally declined.
Steel Exports Jump.
Exports of iron and steel manu-
factures, jumped from $40 9,OOO, 900 in
July to $65 100000 in August. Ship
ments of airplanes and parts,
primarily to the British, jumped
from s23 100000 to $1,000 0OO-the
largest airplane exports in any
month in history. Sales of metal
working machinery rose from SIS
100000 to S22 100000.
The Commerce Department said
the decline in imports was due to
"a number of essentially unrelated
developments" 1t said that imports
of diamonds. burlap and some other
items fell off mostly because un-
usually large arrivals in July had
made new shipments temporarily
unnecessary Some imports, espe-
cially strategic defense materials
such as tin. nickel, manganese, silk
and rubber, increased.
