ownership and management. In rec

experience to assist the Office OF
Price Administration.
In the administration of the law
certain defects have DEVELOPED
which have been detrimental to war
workers in need of adequate housing
and prejudicial to small property
owners. 1t Is normal that during a
period OF trial and error in the i'm
position of abnormal wartime con-
trols defects should appear. It is
not normal that such defects should
be ignored.
1T is. therefore, the sound and
considered opinion of this associa-
ton and its Washington committee
that these defects should be rene

tenant should be protected against
exploitation, equal justice demands
that hardship and prejudice created

Professional dry cleaning Of up
holstered furniture is good economy
right now. Thrifty homemakers are
taking care of the things they own
Heavy, upholstered furniture is
valuable. The springs, filling and
webbing that are necessary to make
comfortable furniture are prac-
tically out for the duration. For
this reason, comfortable chairs and
sofas are worth all the attention you
may give them.
All good housekeepers have their
own method OF keeping upholstery
fresh looking. They either sham
poo or dry clean the surface every
few weeks, protect it with slip covers
in the summer time and do every
thing In their power to keep their
possessions nice looking, but, at best,
this is just surface treatment.
Household equipment is not suffi-
cient to give the heavy busting and
cleaning that may be done profess
sionally. 1t is a good plan once
every year to turn furniture and
draperies over to the dry cleaner
Tor the complete interior cleaning
that keeps it in perfect order.
Learning to Conserve.
The renaissance of "remake" and
remodel is merrily on its way in
every home in the country. It is
hoped now that we have learned
how much further our dollars may
be made to go so We will keep right
on even when the incentive of
scarcity is no longer with us.
This learning to conserve, If
learned early enough, will see us
through the difficult years without
too much inconvenience. Those
who have not yet insured the dura-
blllty of rugs. furniture and dra-
perles by dry cleaning will be wise to
consider the methods used by the
cleaner. All that calls itself dry
cleaning" is not necessarily good
dry cleaning. Merely making the
conservative gesture of sending your
household things to a cleaner is not
enough.
How to Clean Sofa.
There is more than one way to
dry clean your sofa. The kind of
job you want is one that will first
remove every bit of grit and every
suspicion of grease without marrinp
so much as thread of the texture
surface. From cracks and crevices
must be routed out every last bit
of dust.
The springs must be protected
from moisture and the wood from
scratches. All this can be done. but
only through. skill and experience
and the aid of quality materials and
equipment.
This same advice is applicable to
draperles, which the professional eve
OF the dry-cleaning expert will desig-
nate for many different types of
dry-cleaning care. Above all, it goes
Tor rugs, which the scarcity of wool
ana Jute now make almost sacred
objects.
The answer to all this is to select
your dry cleaner with care and in
vest in quality Do not let low price
or quick service influence your de-
clslon these days There is too
much care, art and science in a lob
OF dry cleaning to make it possible
at a suspiciously low price. If you
are going all out for thrift and con-
servation, go all the way and select
quality.
May Face Delay.
You will undoubtedly find that
you will wait some time for your
furniture and rugs to be returned
to you. as labor shortages are in
evitable in all specialized fields. Be
patient when your dry cleaner asks
for extra time. He is merely try
ing to give you the best service
possible and cooperate with you in

conserving your valuable posses
sions as far as he is able.
Make an appointment with the
rug man to pick up all your rugs
on his weekly trip to your neigh
borhood. He will give you a definite
delivery date, and if you have your
floors cleaned and polished, he will
put your rugs down in place for
you, and you will be "all set" for
another year.
Send your furniture out to be
mothproofed and cleaned while the
draperies are being exhanged for
the summer ones and the house is
being cleaned. When they come
back, you will have the whole house
spic and span. Be sure that fur
nishings are free of moths, dust and
soil. Their life will be considerably
heightened and all in order for an
other year.

Pvt. zuber's girl friends smile was

there was a baleful gleam in her
glance at poor Benjamin. What

asked with terrible gentleness.
Pvt. McGlauflin went on glibly.

Her expression, as she looked at
Zuber, was one of anxiety and doubt.

hearty dig in the ribs. To make
