At one time I purchased a jar
OF jewelry cleaner in a popular
chain 5 and 10. It cost so cents
and was a pink liquid. The jew
elry to be cleaned was immersed
for few minutes, then rinsed
and dried. It was wonderful for
diamonds and crystal beads and
even Inexpensive gold-colored cos
tune jewelry came out sparkling
like new. / can't remember the
name of this product and can't
seem to find it in the local stores.
Can some one help me out?

(From Mrs. X. D.. Hyattsuale.)
In the state I formerly came
from there were dry cleaners and
shoe repair shops that had spe-
cial sale days. when a certain
item was repaired for approx
mately half it's price. Are there
any such stores in Washington
D. c., or vicinity? I have so many
shoes to be repaired, but cannot
afford to have them fixed at the
prevalent prices. Does any one
know of cut-rate service some
where?

The handmade bricks, removed

Other items that make up the
different kits include enough pine

bits of old stone and metal, hand
split laths, nails and pieces of old

from Is cents for a single lath to

In making the application, the
buyer must promise not to resell
his memento or allow it to be
exploited commercially"
Since the sale started. orders
have been received for about
$4,000 kits. About 1000 have
actually been delivered. Project
officials warn that the staff OF
men and women who process and
package the items is about a
month behind in it's orders now
and that applicants should not
Iexpect prompt delivery of their
orders.
The sale is not a commercial
venture in the sense that it is
supposed to show profit. Collec-
tors are not charged for the ma
terial itself, but only for the costs
Iof processing and administration,
Gen. Edgerton said. In all cases,
the shipping charges are paid on
receipt by the customer. except
that people who want the large
quantities of brick or stone may
come to the post and pick them
up personally.
Although no orders can be ac-
icepred which are not on standard
application forms, a number OF
unorthodox ones have been re-
Iceived.
One of these came from a self
confident Texan, asking for

total number of applications will

plications are supposed to be
closed by June 80, and there's
sure to be enough of everything
to go around
Capt. James v. Little, who heads
the project, estimates that some
thing like 100000 bricks are still
on hand. His warehouse is bulging
with hand-hewn timbers and
well riddled with old nails of all
shapes and sizes.
