bothersome chore Of emptying the
vacuum cleaner bag, is now being
marketed.
This cleaner operates on a new
principle. Dirt picked up off floors
and rugs is combined with a stream
of water and washed down the sink
drain.
The machine makes use of a spe-
cially manufactured, highly flexible
rubber hose which can be pulled
out to five times its original length
and compressed like an accordion
enabling the housewife to clean all
the rooms on one floor of her
home without moving the machine.
The pure rubber hose used has no
wire or fabric reinforcement. 1t
will not collapse under suction and
when stepped on will return to Its
normal shape. 1t is highly resistant
10 abrasion and will not scratch
furniture or other objects in the
home.

Wax for Wallpaper.
Question: would like to get some
wallpaper wax" Immediately. My
wallpaper is new, but won't be for
long, for I have small children.
have heard about a wax for pro-
tecting wallpaper and should like
TO know about it. Can you advise?
Answer: At a large wallpaper es-
tablishment, you should be able to
buy the wax, which is transparent
and gives protection to wallpaper.
There also is clear type of varnish
that can be used for this purpose.
Perhaps your hardware or paint
dealer could get one of these prod
ucts for you. For the benefit OF
other readers with small children,
I suggest that when selecting wall
paper, you buy a washable variety.

Amateur Can Remedy
B|emished Wallpaper
By Patching Method
BY w. Wodsworth Wood

The home mechanic or house
hold putterer knows that wallpaper
is one of the most difficult things
to do anything with. Despite
patented powders and liquids with
startling guarantees, the average
person has had little if any Sue
cess in removing bad stains from
wallpapers. and less good luck in
repairing tears and rips in the
surface.
1t stands to reason that any
LIQUID or powder with enough
strength to remove a stain, is also
strong enough to bleach out Oh
change the hue of the pattern in
a paper.
The best, and at the same time
the easiest method of restoring a
papered wall to good condition, is
to overpaper the blemish with a
new section of the same color and
pattern.
1t may appear to the amateur
that this would make a very evident
lcpdA. ou Gllc COlll1 dIy, IL ~ Il
done properly it is very hard t6
detect after the job is dried out
The correct procedure is as follows
The area to be covered must be
studied to settle the size of the
overlay to be cut. If the stains
are between the edges of a strip
OF the paper, the job is greatly
simplifled. as in that case it il
only necessary to cut length o.
new paper from the roll.
When a piece of sufficient size
has been cut, it should be laio
dry on the wall and over the
Stained area. Care should be taken
to49 make an absolutely accurate
overlay so that the pattern matche.
perfectly In every direction and sc
that any half sections of the ole
paper are fitted to half sections OF
the new overlay.

Visit Success

Mrs. Eunice Parker Bell, chair.
man of the Kennewick Red Cross
Blood program, announced TO-DAY
that the Bloodmobile visit Au.
gust 30 was successful.
Eighty -four persons went
through the center, netting 81
pints of blood, 81 persons were
rejected by the doctor before Civ.
ing but the willingness of these
persons is just as greatly appre.
ciated, Mrs. Bell states.
Many of those rejected will be
eligible as future donors since in
most instances the rejection was
only a temporary precaution for
the individuals own physical
well being. !. .
Mrs. Bell explained that 81
persons apparently were unable
to keep their scheduled appoint.
ment and said that "since we
were not advised in advance of
their change in plans, we were
unable to fill these vacancies
and SO did not meet our quota of
20 pints."
She gave full credit to the Ar.
Dor Homes Betterment League
committee chairmanned by Rus.
sell Love for the unusually fine
attendanceand stated that even
though some failed to keen their
appointments we should still
have made our quota. Normally
the rejection averages a loss Of
10 per cent or in this case eight
or nine pints out of 81 prospec-
tive donors who came to the cen.
ter. Twenty-seven reflections was
exceedingly above normal.
