YELLOW WITH AGE

When white cotton or linen
goods, such as sheets, curtains, or
tablecloths, have stayed long in
storage, sometimes there is an un-
pleasant discovery that the fabric
isn't white as it once was. 1t has
yellowed in spots or all over.
What to do, is a question fire.
quently put to Margaret Furry,
textile chemist of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.
Try the simplest remedy first,
she advises. Launder the yellow
ed article carefully and hang it
in the sun to bleach as it dries.
Or, dampen the discolored area
and spread the article out in the
sun.
If sun bleaching isn't practical

or fails to work, chemical bleach
may succeed. Use such chemicals
with care, for, if left too long on
a fabric, they will weaken or even
rot it.
Post-storage trouble with such
stains on white goods can be re-
duced by pre-storage care. Have
articles thoroughly clean before
storing, the textile chemist ad-
vises. Wash out any soap or blu
ing. If fabric have been treated
with chlorine bleaches in launder-
ing, neutralize the chlorine with

IL. Turn out on racks to cool.
Be sure the rolls are really cool
before wrapping.
u. Use heavy wax paper or
other suitable material for wrap
pins. If you expect to freeze them
use regular freeze paper or car
tons.

ing unit or a cool place.
IA. When ready to serve spread
melted butter or other fat over

Running To Help
People Temporarily
Insane Dubois SAYS

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-(SNS)-
DR.. w. E. B. Dubois, American La
Dor Party candidate for u. S. SEN
ate, said Monday he is running for
political office for the first time
in his life to help "a group of
people gone temporarily insane"
The brilliant sociologist and his
torian who is 80 year old, explained
that America "is facing crisis in
which no consideration of ease of
age suffice to hold me back from
great duty-the duty to bring
reason and past experience to bear
upon a group of people gone tenn
porarily insane"
Dubois, the first Negro to run
for the Senate in New York, read
to reporters at Harlem's Hotel The
resa a 3,000-word statement in
which he blasted his Republican
and Democratic opponents and
asked for support to Curb big
business and war as represented
by Herbert Lehman and war and
big business as represented by
Joe Henley
The temporary insanity" Du-,
bois said, is due to the effort by
powerful interest to turn the at
tention of the world from the fun
damental problem of our age that
despite our unprecedented organ
ization of industry, the vast ma
jority of mankind remain sick, ig-
norant and starved while few
have more income and service
than they can USE"

the law if it received from its Derby correspond
ents in advance of the big race the fact that an
entry had been withdrawn or a jockey substi-
tuted. Yet this is legitimate news of interest to
thousands of sports lovers, including the nom

None of the testimony before the committee
indicated that any national emergency has arisen
requiring enactment of Federal legislation of
such far-reaching implications. On the contrary
it was brought out that existing regulations of
the Federal Communications Commission enable
local authorities to deal effectively with the
problem of cutting off gamblers communication

gambling should be concentrated rather than on

This guarantee by GIN of pay in

on the overall economic stability of the
country, and the performance of its
workers. But 1t is good gamble. Coupled
with the prospect of labor peace in the

gives the Nations economy shot in the

the effect on business of the five-year

In addition to the annual AGENT

done IN such way that the employees
pay would drop very little even if prices

politics with civilian defense against
aggression. There is too much emphasis
on the impossible. We have no time to
decentralize industry and Government
and go underground. Our survival as
a Nation depends on efficient use and
mobilization of resources now on hand
Experts concede mass defense is i'm
possible. Therefore emphasis must be
on the discipline and foresight that pro-
notes individual survival.
Panic is our greatest danger. Iron
discipline is its only antidote. Panic will
lmmobilize fire fighters, police protection
and all disaster relief. The moment
the aggressor strikes, civilian authority
ceases to exist. The military must assume
absolute and immediate control. All our
planning should be purposed to place
every policeman, fireman, civil servant
and reserve component under primary
military control. Every one should know
exactly what he is to do if disaster
strikes. Any plan that does less than
that is unrealistic

No Need for This Bill Shown

The revised apti-gambling bill reported by
the Senate Commerce Committee is much to be
preferred to the drastic measure recommended
by Attorney General McGrath. But the wisdom
OF passing even the watered-down version is yet
to be shown. In fact, Chairman Mcfarland of
the committee pointed out in statement accom-
panying the bill that if State, county and
municipal authorities used the means already at
their disposal in the war on gamblers there would
be no need for Federal intervention
The committee used good sense in elmnat-

which would have forbidden radio and television
stations from broadcasting races until an hour
after they had been run. Killed also was the
broad language under which almost any infor-

construed as betting information" And the

Both bird people and human people
