For Sogging Cane Seat

AVA Q. "a Il. dA.p w uofLtHyLOIt
Here is my method of
shrinking the seat of a cane
bottomed chair. This is strict
ly from an amateur, but as it
worked, I am passing it on.
! have two antique side
chairs, cane bottomed. And
recently the seat of one sagged
so alarmingly that ! was dis
mayed, knowing how expen-
Sive a new seat can be. So
here's what l did:
l placed the chair in the
bathtub, folded a heavy bath
towel. wet it thoroughly with
hot water and placed it over
the cane. Then ! took a
pitcher and began pouring hot
water through the towel; l
would pour gallons at a time.
This kept repeating at inter-

thing at night I would wet it
down. At the end of several
days treatment, / set the
chair out in secluded spot
and let it dry; within a few
days it was completely dry
and the seat shrunk to its
original proportions.
Of course, the chair does not
have to be put in a bathtub.
But since l live in an apart
ment, this was the only place
I had. A backporch, basement
or garage would do as well.
1t worked fine for me and I
hope it does for the reader who
asked for advice on the sub
ject.

Chairman Alcorn told re-

Future Benefit
Seen by Byrd in
Economy Drive
BY the Associated Press

Senator Byrd. Democrat of
Virginia. predicted today the
current economy drive will force
President Eisenhower to cut his
next budget even if spending
remains high in the year ahead.
Senator Byrd, who heads the
Senate Finance Committee. ex-
pressed confidence Congress will
make significant" reductions in
the more than $73 billion in new
money requests submitted by Mr..
Eisenhower in January.
But actual Government out
lays are not fully controlled by
the lawmakers action on such
requests. Previous Congresses
have made available a huge back
log Of funds on which the Presi-
dent can draw If he chooses to
carry out his proposed ST. billion
spending program.
Senator Byrd said this situa-
zion may prevent the kind of
$6.5 billion lowering in spending
he wants. Two congressional
groups have forecast that spend
ing will go even higher than
Mr.. Eisenhower estimated in
January.
Won't Reduce Level
Senator Kerr, Democrat of
Oklahoma. a Finance commit
teeman. said in a separate inter-
view he believes Congress will
lop about SIS billion of Mr.. Eli
senhower's new money requests.
But he agreed with Senator Byrd
that the action won't necessarily
reduce the spending level.
Senator Bennett, Republican
OF Utah. another member of the
Finance Committee and former
president of the National Asso-
citation Of Manufacturers. said
he fears Congress will have diff
ficulties in making any econ
omies stick.

Congress sent Mr.. Eisenhower
yesterday a S597. 79O,225 Com

which was $273. Traits below the
Presidents requests.
