Honlelllahers'
Briefs
By Lore.ia Cowden
Asst Extension Agent

Furniture that has stood in
flood water may not be a total
loss if it is made Of solid wood,
Miss Loretta Cowden, associate
county extension agent, advised
flood victims this week.
Before deciding to discard wat
er-soaked furniture, families are
urged to see if the following steps
can restore it to use:
Take all furniture outdoors and
remove as many of the drawers,
slides or other working parts as
possible. If drawers are stuck
tight, don't try to force them loose
with a screwdriver or chiseL Re-
move the back by cutting it out
if necessary and push out the
drawers. After all moving parts
have been removed, clean off all
mud and dirt, use a hose stream
if necessary. Then take all parts
back indoors and store them-stlll
in parts-where they will dry out
slowly. If left in the sun, the
wood will warp and twist out OF
shape.
If furniture made Of solid wood
has pulled apart, it may be SAL
vaged by regluing. Gluing, how
ever, is fairly difficult job to
do at home, since it is necessary
to use clamps on many places.
Before starting this job, decide
whether it's worth while to buy
the necessary equipment and If
anyone in the family has the time
and ability to do the work. If the
works too difficult to attempt,
turn the job over to cabinet
maker, or at least talk to him
about it. II
Overstuffed furniture should
first be cleaned and the odor re-
If the furniture has not
been dried out thoroughly, the
stuffing may have started to de-
cay. If so, it will probably bel
to replace the stuffing
to get rid of the odor.
If the upholstery material has
faded or looks worn after clean
ing, it may be dyed or recovered
or slip covered. The springs also
may need to be cleaned, the rust
and the frame cleaned.
This lob can be done at home or
turned over to a cabinetmaker
or uptolsterer.
Repairing veneered furniture is
so difficult and requires so many
different types Of tools that 1t is
not practical to try to do 1t at
home,
We have a good bulletin on
'.Refinishing Furniture. You may
have copy for the asking.
A recipe for homemade silver
cleaner will be q Notwithstanding
help, Miss Loretta Cowden, asso-
ciate extension agent, says.
It's a recipe for a. homemade
cleaner for silver and chromium,
recommended by Miss Helen Noy-
Is, WSC's extension economist in
home management.
Recipe for the homemade clean
er calls Tor 4 ounces of mild soap
flakes, one pint of boiling water,
pound or two-thirds
cup of whiting, and one-half tea
spoonful of household ammonia.
To make the cleaner, dissolve
the soap flakes in the boiling wat
er. Add the whiting and ammonia.
Stir occasionally until the mixture
is cool. Store in a wide-moutned
cover jar.
In using the homemade cleaner,
apply with a soft cloth to silver
ware or to chromium. Much cleo
trical equipment is chromium pla-
ted) Wash with clear water and
wipe dry.

Remember when a bare bulb like this was the last word
in lighting? That's when you started calling your electric
bill a Eight" bill.
Then electricity began to take on more chores. It
learned to cook and sew and clean, to wash and iron,
preserve food, entertain the f~amily-in general, to make
life healthier and happier and easier all around. Lighting
became only a fraction of that job.
Naturally, you came to depend on electric service for
more and more jobs-untl now you couldn't imagine
living without electricity! Today your electric bill is
just about the smallest item in your family expenses
yet what else does 30 much, for so little?
Yes. it's still a Eight bill-it lghtens your chores,
your home, and the business of balancing your budgetl

1t is often a disappointment to see
the summer season end. Flowers and
leaves will soon be gone. Warm, sunny
days will soon be replaced by cold,
dreary ones. Outdoor activities will
be few.
And yet, there are compensations.
Who does not delight in tasting the
first pumpkin pie of the season? And
who does not enjoy tramping through
brightly-colored autumn leaves? And
then follows sleigh-riding in the snow,
cozy evenings before an open fire; and
then Spring again. Each season of the
year brings new pleasures to replace
the old ones.
Just as God gives us many and
enduring blessings in the changing
seasons, so does he offer us rich spir-
itual rewards. Month after month, sea-
son after season, and year after year,
the Church stands ready and willing
to give us comfort, hope, and inspira-
ton. Great success or utter failure
may await us. Either may be disas-
trous. We can better face the many
changes in our daily living by attend
ing the services of the Church.

Historic House on E Street
BEING Rozed for Parking Lot

The historic Benning -McG Guire
House, 6l4 E street NV, in recent
years known as the YWCAs Ken
dali House, today was being
stripped.
It's site will be, a parking lot.
It's old pine doors and flooring
walnut stair railing and marble
fireplaces of the Victorian era. and
earlier, are being removed. Doors
two inches thick and eight feet tall
thruogh which thousands Of per-
sons have passed to see the large
collection of paintings and books
once kept there, have been sold.
Built about 1880 by Capt. William
Benning, a large Eastern Branch
land holder and builder of the first
Benning bridge in 1795, the old
structure more recently was the
home of Club Teen, the YWCA's
club for youngsters.
Four Known Owners.
Capt. Benning bought the lot on
which the building stands in 1925
from Obadiah Bruen Brown. 1t
cost him $500. Just how many
people have lived in the house
since Capt. Benning is not definitely
established, but only four persons
are known to have owned it.
In about 1888, the home was sold
to Richard S. Coke, attorney here
and prominent in affairs of the city
during the Civil War. One Of two
attorneys appointed to codify the
laws of the District, Mr.. Coke and
his family lived in the residence for
about 20 years. 1t was then sold to
John G. Mcclure.
It was Mr.. Mcclure who owned
the art and book collection. His
art gallery was compared with that
which later was to form the nucleus
of the Corcoran Art Gallery, His
