SPOTS ON LINEN

(Fron Mrs. M. M. B., Washington. }
Several years ago your problem
Iof brown spots on linen confront
ed me except that mine was a 75-
Iyear-old scarf or runner. A we'll
known hand laundry could offer

from age and disuse. Linen
washed occasionally and dried
does not spot. So with some mis-
lgivings as to whether / you'd
have a whole runner when done,
household bleach was applied with
ia medicine dropper to each spot
or small group of spots and this

Immediately dunked into a watt

bleach. In this laborious fashion
practically color was removed.
This bleach works very fast Gin

Weighing the Candidates.
BY EARL

The Democratic nominee for president,
Adlai Stevenson, recently completed a cam
paigning tour of the south. Adai who is
governor of Illinois, was to many, unknown
in politics until his recent political recog-
milton. Neither the Republican candidate
Eisenhower or Stevenson has stated clearly
and unmistakingly his stand on the vital
problems of the Negro. If this desire fails
to be fulfilled then there is only one thing
for the Negro voter to do, that is, weigh
out both candidates and vote for the lesser
evil. However the situation, there are few
things one should remember about both
candidates. First if we remember correctly,
General Eisenhower in 1913 testified before
the Senate Armed Services Committee that
Negroes are inferior and that the Army
was justified in its jim crow practices. 1t is
also noteworthy that on the other hand he
has favored the adjustment of segregation
in Washington, D. c. He has also implied
that he would appoint a Negro to his cabl-
net Of he found one with merit) The Gen
eral has been labeled as having an honest
approach to the situation but we would

Crowds of people came to airports and
many more lined the streets to see the
governor Eager listeners applauded his
speeches.
The eep thought behind Governor
Stevensons stand on the question OF ciVll

In Nashville Governor Stevenson spoke
TO his first indoor audience since st, Louis.
Although the meeting had been originally
scheduled for outside, there was no in1i-
cation that any segregated pattern of seat

Governor Stevenson drew applause
from the audience with a repetition of his
Richmond statement that he would not say
one thing in the south and then say some
thing else in other places.

platform" he said. Il realize that some of

as it is, is no more than a disagreement

visited have expressed admiration for him
and have indicated that they will vote for
