Special
Floors

If you are dealing with floors
made of asphalt tile, linoleum or
rubber, you have a special clean
ing problem on your hands. Be-
cause these floorings tend to be
porous and absorb, they require
gentle cleaning and waxir< with
special agents. A greasy wax
must NEVER be used on such
materials; this simply cakes up
and will produce no shine, while
being harmful to the surface of
the floor. BY the same token,
washing or securing with strong,
abrasive substances will shorten
the life Of your floor.
Don't buy just any floor cleaner
or floor wax-diScuss your par
ticular needs with the salesman
and study the list of ingredients
and directions On the containers
of the produtcs you choose. In
case you are in doubt as to what
cleaner and wax is best for your
floor, call Sterling 5000, Extension
342, and we'll tell you about two
that are used by a firm famous
for its successful floor care and
renovation.

Briefing
on
Bleaching

Liquid bleach has been the
efficient homemaker's standby for
years. It's effectiveness in remov-
ling certain stains is invaluable.
Household linens that have yel-
lowed from long storage or become
gray from poor washing condi-
ltions have been restored to snowy
whiteness through the proper use
lof bleach.
Many homemakers would like a
Ibrief1ng on bleaching especially
from the angle of using it in a
washing machine. Bleach added
Ito the first wash water in auto
|matic and semi-automatic wash
ling machines is an invaluable aid
lin whitening curtains, towels. bed
linen, tableclotfs. handkerchiefs,
lunderclothes, cotton blouses and
|other white items.
Two rules should be followed in
using bottled bleach in the auto
matte washer: First. it should be
added to the first wash water
rather than the rinse water; Sec
|ond, directions on the bleach
bottle should be followed explicitly.
The theory that if half a cup
of bleach is good, a whole bottle
will be perfect, is a dangerous one.
Chlorine bleach should be used
with restraint: and for this reason,
careful attention must be paid to
directions on the bottle.
Usually, one-half cup of bleach
is added to a washer tub full of
water. For best results, the Water
should not be too hot. The bleach
should be thoroughly mixed
through the water with the agi-
Etator before soap or detergent is
added.
After the bleaching and wash
ling cycle, the garments should
be rinsed carefully and thoroughly
to remove all the bleach from the
fabric. D. B.

Furniture
Care

What are the basic steps in fur
niture care? First of all. look to
your finish. If a piece of furniture
has a rough, imperfect finish, find
q good refiniSher and get it done
over. But let's assume that your
basic finish is good. Cleanliness
is the first thing to consider. A
good furniture polish will contain
cleaning ingredients that are thor
ough and safe. However, that isn't
enough in the case of surfaces that
are exposed to heavy dirt. or to
grease and sticky substances, such
as the top Of dining room table.
Every few months. the wood
should be washed with warm water
and mild soap. then rinsed thor
oughly and dried. Use polish i'm
mediately after this.
The second step is feeding" or
lubricating. the wood. There is no
substitute for genuine linseed oil
for this purpose. You can buy it.,
boil and then cool 1t, and rub it on,
being sure to rub 1t off again with
q dry cloth. There is furniture
polish on the market, however,
which contains a generous amount
Of it. The manufacturer Of this
polish says: 1.-TWO hundred years
ago, when the formula for our
polish was first brought from Eng
land to Virginia, housewives rec
ognized the Importance of linseed
oil. But they could not know how
much more important it would
prove to be in the future. Now
our houses are heated artifically,
and this has a much greater dry
ing effect than the stoves and fire.
places of former days. Furniture
gets dry and lifeless: veneers
crack. Nothing can combat this
drying process as well as linseed
oil. It sinks into the wood and
nourishes it. Wood, you know, is
q porous substance. A former Gu
rator of the Williamsburg Restora-
ton once told me that wood must
be fed, just as a flower must be
watered. and we have certainly
found this to be true"
This polish also contains re-
fined beeswax, and this brings up

scratches. A good polish will cover
many. many small ones that don t
go very deep. A scratch remover
containing stain, or plain stain
followed by waxing, may make the
slightly deeper ones less notice
able, but bad scratches, burns
and other injuries can only be
cured by ref1nishing job. Weigh
the extent of the damage and the
value of the piece against the
price. If the furniture is good
better start figuring into your
budget the cost of reclaiming 1t
It's a wise investment. D. B.

another important point in the
care of furniture, waxing. Many
different wakes are used in furni-
ture polish and paste wax. There
are the petroleum wakes, such as
parafin, familiar to every house.
wife as protective top for jelly.
There are vegetable wakes, but
it is an animal wax" beeswax,
which imparts to furniture the
soft, mellow glow that is surely
the most becoming patina it can
wear. BeeswaX, too, has the sturdy
protective qualities that guard the
wood against dust and deteriora-
tion.

only that they are quite dismal.
There always have been one or
two of these around but the thing
has virtually reached epidemic
stage of late. Playwrights should
remember that the theater is more
than 1000 years old now and its
resistance is not what 1t was.
AS for Oppenheimer, he has
written so many plays about his
presumed stage smart set that
he has been able to find only
three moderately fresh lines to
put into Mirror, Mirror" Last
nights audience was so glad to
hear these that it reused itself
out Of its lethargy and laughed
right out loud, but not very.
This left it up to Syrjala's set
ting, an All-About-Eve living
room, to be the brightest thing Of
the evening. It was.
X x X X
The remorseless truth about
Miss Francis latest vehicle is that
the two words of the title, Mirror,
Mirror" really leave nothing more
to be said. Obviously this has to
be something about an older
actress, physically and spiritually
jaded, who impulSively decides
one day to turn over her star
busted world to her daughter. The
implication is that no mother
since Eve (the real one, not Bette
DaviS) ever made a nobler sacri-
fice.
There are people who will not
believe this and a number Of them
obviously were present at OlneyI
last night.
One of them, indeed. might
have been the back stage charac-
ter who mercifully lowered the
curtain plop on Miss Francis big
moment at the end of the second
act. This gave the play an entirely
unanticipated touch Of hilarity
that neither the star nor the
author could quite match in the
whole three acts Of Mirror.
Mirror" I
Even the most stubborn dra-
matists should not need to be told
that back-stage and off-stage life
has been worn to Shreds by this
time.
Take the version Miss Francis
plays, for instance. She Is al
middle-aged glamour girl, pre-
eumably still capable of pulling
people into the theater to see her
play dewey adolescents. She CAM
also turn the head of young play
wrights whose heads are notorious
for their instability.
But what do these things mean?
What is their value as compared
with the devotion Of a big, tweedy.
pipe smoking husband? And what
Of the 13-year old monster
daughter who needs a mother
and might even benefit by good
hiding before it would perma-'
nently damage her school girl
complexion? And the older daugh-
ter, the one who wants to be an
actress?
Mirror, Mirror" takes up all
these questions but not q single
word it has to say sheds a candle
power Of new light on any Of
them, or reminds one of how
pleasant an old light sometimes
can be.
Another hazard strangely
ignored by those who believe in
the inordinate cleverness and
drama Of stage people. Is that
when an author says of charac-
ter, This is a great actress" he
had better be prepared to prove it.

case Miss Francis, to the InercileSs

The Monroe c ounty

surfaces.
During last week Coun-

was pointed out that 900
feet of screen would be
needed to protect the three
courts.
Commissioner Clarence Higgs
said at last nights meeting that
he had discussed the question of
Identification Of the courts with
Jack Sellers and that he, Mr..
Higgs, had asked Garden Club
President Mrs. William Warren
if her organizatiea would super
wise the handspring work. The
Club will take over when the re-
