Rea ders' Gle arin Q
TO REMOVE STAINS.

I'M. w. W., ArLtngtOnJ
Regarding the removal Of
stains, so many people have
written in requests about this.
! thought I would send In
my experiences. To remove al
most any kind of spot such as
tea, coffee, cocoa, ink, milk.
fruit, ETC., first Of all wash
out in cold water, let it soak
for an hour or more. Then
wash in warm, mild soapy
water. If any other method
was used before water, it will
not be likely to be a success.
At one time I picked up four
or five new rayon shirt waists
which were ruined when a
bottle of ink was spilled all
over them. After lying around
for fully three months, I put
them into cold water. washing
out as much ink as I could.
Then I let them soak in water
overnight and washed them
out and again soaked them
overnight. I rinsed out the
ink again. and washed them
with a heavy suds Of mild
soap. Believe it or not, every
ink spot came out.
Not so long ago I spilled
q milk shake all over the front
of an expensive black suit. The
waitress. at my request, set
two glasses of cold water be-
fore me and with paper nap
kins I washed off the milk
right at the counter. I washed
it out again when got home
a number of times. This past
summer I spread it out in
stron sunlight and there Is
not a spot left anywhere.
The new fabrics yield more
easily. Get on the water
wagon and work carefully.

the smaller ones contribute to
that ever growing list of
proud proposers.
One such bulky envelope
reached our desk on the 18th
and arrived from Campbell,
Ohio, from that ever busy
Secretary of Lodge 185 and
member of the Supreme
Board of Trustees, bro. Milan
Skrtic.
1t contained no less than
18 applications or forms, 10
of which were for changeover
from old to the new disability

of sister Niksic, bros. Bella

has been working fruitfully
as usual, and had up to the

VI CnlS NUMBER the Junior
Order accounted for $50 while
the Senior Division recorded
576. Thus, if we compare the
time consumed with the ac-
complishment to date, we
see that we are but 64 men,
bers short of the one quarter
quota of 1900.
We can go now into a
lengthy apology and list of
excuses such as the fact that
no drive hits it's full stride at
such an early date.
We can say that bcause of
the exceptional, soma |
sports activity, in the main
bowling, recruiting of new
members is bound to receive
secondary attention.
And, last but by no means
least, we can use the very real
excuse that, generally speak
ing, working conditions have
deteriorated to the point
where even maintaining the
status quo in membership is
a task, let alone increasing it.
Yes, all these could be used as
legitimate reasons for any
signs of a slow down.
Sees Nothing To Fear
We think, however, that
when we aimed at 1900 and
fell short by only 81 we have
nothing to fear, for surely
there is plenty of time to
make it up and make it up we
will.
AS we read the detailed
monthly listings of field
workers, listings which grow
by leaps and bounds, we can
take heart from the fact that
it is a grass roots acceptance
of the established goal.
Across the length and
breadth of two countries, c..
F. U. stalwarts are preaching
and spreading the gospel of
fraternalism.
From the Atlantic to the
Pacific the might and power
and benevolence of a great
house of brotherhood is be-
ing spotighted. The daily
mail brings big, fat envelopes

Brew City Nests
To Honor Mothers

Milwaukee, Wis. - Fiv e
Junior Order Nests of the
Milwaukee, West Allis areas
are underwriting the End An
nual Mothers Day Program
to be staged on Sunday, May
9, at the Collins Meyer Post,
725 West National Avenue.
Yes, representatives of
Nests 18, 81, 457, 473 and $50
have met with regularity to
plan this gigantic extravagan-
"a and we are pleased to state
that the program we have
mapped out meets with our
utmost satisfaction, and we
know that those who witness
it will thoroughly agree with
our optimism.
Promptly at 2::30 PM the
youngsters will take to the
stage and display their di-
versified talents for their
mothers and friends. From
seeing rehearsals of the vari-
Gus acts, we're convinced
that our kiddies will compare
favorably with any such
group in any colony, and we
are mighty proud of them.
Just as soon as the young
sters have entertained our
guests, sister Sylvia Niksic,
of Gary, Ind, a member of
the CF'U Board of Trustees,
will have a few we'll chosen
words to impart to our audi
ence. You may rest assured
that your time here will be
well spent.
AS an added attraction we
have obtained permission to
feature that much discussed
film, "This Is Your Croatian
Fraternal Union!!" and pre-
sent our people in this area
with their very first oppor-
tunity to see this outstanding
CFU project. Don't miss it
on any account!
At the conclusion of this
portion of our program, ta-
bles will be set up and a de-
licious supper served. All this
and shuffling afterwards, to
the tune of Johnny Petek and
his tamburitza ensemble.
That's about it, folks. This
for the paltry sum of fifty
cents admission fee. We, for
one, wouldn't miss out on the
biggest event of the year on
Mothers Day, Sunday, May
9th, at the Collins Meyer
Post. Will we see you there?
