Cleaning Gluss Cooking Wore
BY Virginia Smith

Never use knives or rough scour-
ing materials TO clean glass cooking
ware. Scraping with a knife or scour-
ing with steel wool may scratch the
protective surface of the glass and
eventually lead to a crack Even a
sligth scratch may make the glass
less resistant to breakage.
Generally, glass cooking utensils
need only soaking in lukewarm
water and then washing in soapsuds
for thorough cleaning. Adding bak-
ing soda to the soaking water may
help loosen food that has baked on.
If some brownish traces still re-
main, remove them by rubbing with
dry baking soda.

Cleaning Puper Lompshodes

Skimmilk is a good cleaner fol
paper lampshades, both those of un-
finished paper and those with shellac
varnish or waxlike finish.
Water on paper shades softens
them and may damage or break the
paper. Milk does not penetrate paper
readily because of its casein content.

soil with it.
A small amount of milk poured

cleans many papers well. AS the milk
darkens with dirt, use a fresh supply.
Sponging the milk on with a soft
cloth will hasten the cleaning. How
ever, if the cloth roughens the pa

with milk leaves a slight finish on

The first step in cleaning the

Parrish had remarked several
times that he would rather die
than serve the farm sentence.
Ganey said he saw Parrish stand
ing in the rear of his cell and
suddenly he saw Parish fall to his
bunk, then drop off the bunk to
the cement floor of the jail cell.
Finds Knife
Ganey said he saw Parrish
place something under the mat
tress Of his bunk a split second
before he collapsed to the bunk.
He said he found the small pocket
knife under the mattress covered
with blood.
Craig Shipping, another inmate,
told the investigating officers that
Parrish had often complained that
he was in bad health. Murice
Gardner and Raymond Harrell,
the other inmates of the cell, told
the same story.
Deputy Sheriff T. Butler said
he went into the cell block about
1920 o'clock to tell Parish to pre-
pare for his transfer to the coun-
ty farm.
II then walked to the end OF
the cell block to wait for Parrish

Ger related that he had been
standing there about five minutes
when one of the prisoners
(Ganey) called him and told him
that Parrish had fallen to the
floor.
II went into the cell and found
that he had stabbed himself with
the knife. He was rushed to the
hospital" Butler said.
Ganey told the officers that he
found the knife under the mat
tress, but said that he, nor the
other three men, did not know
that Parrish had the knife in his
possession. Sheriff Davis and the
jailors were unable to determine
how the knife got into the cell.

These cases are Of short dura-
ton and should be handled In
general hospital, not a mental hos
pital," DR.. Overholser declared.
He also pointed out that closing
the division would force police into
the position of having to diagnose
cases. A man found in a stupol
on the street might be suffering
from a mental illness, a fractured
skull or acute alcoholism. If the
psychopathic division Of Gallingel
were closed, DR.. Overholser said, the
police would have to decide whether
to take the man to st. Elizabeths
as q mental case or to Gallinger as
a medical or surgical one. This, he
said, would be unfair to patients as
well as to police. ...
DR.. Overholser emphasized that
Gallinger's psychopathic division
should be made to function prop
erly in order to take care OF br1e1
and acute cases. At the same time
he also emphasized that patients
recurring weeks or months Of treat
ment for mental ills should not be
subjected to the present routine OF
going through two hospitals.
