BLANKET "ORDERS"
Follow Expert Rules For Laundering And Storing
Your Wooden Covers Safely Through The Summer

With warm weather Just around
the bend, you'll soon be stripping
your beds of wooden blankets and
storing them for the summer.
. But blanket manufacturers con-
/ Quoting a make 1t do" campaign.
warn you to make doubly GER
tain that blankets are not only
moth-proof packed but are as
clean as can be before storing
them. Nothing they say, destroys
the insulating qualities and long
life Of the material as quickly as
dirt and SCOT, which clog the air
cells of the wool fiber.
For best results in laundering
blankets, use plenty of soft water
never over 100 degrees Fahren-
heit, and wash only one blanket at
time.
If your local water IS hard. use
water softener before adding a
milky soap. Once the soal Is thor
oughly dissolved and you have
rich suds, hnmerce the blankets
IN your washing machine and let
1t run three minutes. or, If YOU
are washing them by hand.
squeeze and douse them for about
five minutes. Then, repeat the
operation In a second tub of suds.
Incidentally, If the bindings of
your blankets are badly soiled,
use a soft brush to give them an
extra bit Of Scrubbing.
Attire washing, squeeze don't
twist the water out of the blan-
kets. And If you use wringer.
be sure to loosen the tension of
the rollers. Then, rinse thor
oughly in two or three clear wa
tesr OF the same temperature,
squeezing the water out after each
rinsing.
To dry, fold blankets length
wise, hang with binding at the
bottom, and pull gently into shape.
When partly dry, reverse them on
the line. And when completely
dry, use a clean Whiskbroom to
raise the nap, brushing in one di-
rection only-toWard the binding.
II you press the binding avoid
creasing the outer edge, or 1t will
eventually split and fray.
In storing blankets, wrap loose
ly, and seal in dust-proof con-
tainer. Then wrap in heavy moth
proof paper and put away in a
cool, dry place. Avoid piling any
thing else OH top Of them, so that
the nap won't be flattcned.
And next year, If you haven't
done 1t in the past, make a habit
OF brushing your blankets between
launderings. IT will keep them
cleaner, softer and, therefore
warmer.

small towns all over the country?
Nurses are desperately needed
in the armed forces and in civilian
life. Not nearly as many girls as
are needed are entering nurses
training.
Maybe more girls would be inter-
ested If they werc taken through
the hospitals of their own commu-
nifty, had their questions answered
about training, pay and require
ments for getting into this impor-
tant work. And if they were told the
real need for nurses that exists to-
day.
Girls Of high school age are pref
ty high-minded. They want to do
something worthwhile with their
lives. Right now they especially
want to have a part in the worlds
work.
MUST BE SHOWN
But they need to be shown the
way. They need to be told where
they are needed and how they
can help.
AS long as there Is no drafting
of woman power-it is necessary
to sell girls on the jobs they are
needed to do. 1t shouldn't be
hard TO sell them on any job as
important as nursing.
1t wouldn't be, If every COM
munity no matter how small,
would see that the girls gradual
ing from high school were given
chance to find out something
about hospitals and their urgent
need for nurses.

. MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE

The rarest play in bridge Is
the smother play. There are but
few cases on record of this play
actually being made. However,
as II Is one that every bridge
player should know, ! am going

on it, Of which this is the first.
When the dummy was exposed
on the table, West regretted that
he had not doubled the final con-
tract. His trump trick looked safe

of diamonds both we're trick win
ners. When East, his partner, won
a heart trick, he felt he had been
far too timorous. He still held the
guarded king Of trumps, with the
ace singleton on the table. But
he reckoned without the smother
play. Let's see how he lost that
safe trick.
West cashed the two high dia-
monds, and South ruffed the third
round of the suit. West refused to
cover either the queen or jack Of
trumps, both of Whcih held tricks.
South then took three rounds Of
clubs and two rounds of hearts, and
East was in on the third heart lead.
West squirmed when his partner re-
turned a diamond, which South ruff
fed. His safe" trump trick no
