Cashmere sweaters dry
clean beautifully when done
by a reputable firm. How
ever, should you wish to do
them at home, the procedure
is not difficult.
Measure the garment at
the shoulders, underarm and
waist and from the back of
the neck to the waist. Wash
in a special soap for sweaters,
preferably, or in gentle sudS.
in lukewarm water. Do not
rub or wiring but squeeze the
water through the garment.
Rinse twice. lay out fiat. adj
Just to measurements. When

with steam iron or press cloth.
Your sweater will be like new.
Never pull any little pills"
from sweaters but cut them
carefully with scissors. Cash

other fabrics do.

York, New Jersey, most of Penn
sylvania, Delaware, most of Mary
land, and Washington, ID. G.
Others setting the clocks ahead
an hour will be Indiana, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Nevada, and Cali

Parts Of Indiana, in the Central
Tine belt, already are an hour
ahead. Some areas in the northeast
part of the state, including Fort
Wayne and Elkhart, and in the
southeast near Cincinnati, have
been on Eastern Time by local Op-
ton all through the winter.
States with split schedules in
clude Illinois, Ohio, Missouri, Ken

In Illinois, where local option
prevails, about 500 communities
