This progress has gone band In hand with strides made in the laundering of those materials. If, however, you are still following ancient laundering methods and wondering why clothes dont last, then take a good look at your laundering habits. Are you setting the clothes down in strong soap solution and letting them soak all night? Do you run the washing machine for . a long period of time in an effort to get them clean? Do you rub collars and cuffs on the board and wonder why they fray? These are outmoded habits and bave no place in modern laundering methods. Take a vacation from rough laundering methods, learn a bit about the new rules, and see bow delightfully clean the clothes will be with much less effort and work. Youll be saving on the clothing budget, too. Prolonged Soaking Weakens Material Contrary to the general belief that the dirtier the clothes, the longer they should be soaked, overnight soaking is not a good idea. Prolonged soaking not only weakens the fibers but opens them and lets the soil become more deeply lodged. Even the most heavily soiled clothes such as work shirts and overalls covered with factory grease or farm soil or youngsters' dirty play clothes, should be soaked for no longer than 15 to 90 minutes. If clothes are soaked in a sink or a laundry tub, fill with lukewarm water and add enough soap (0 make two inches of suds. The way to get the most good out of soaking is to place them In an Clothes Pre-Wa- sh For pleasure in wearing and the fillip It gives your costume, choose the small hat.

The "agitated - soak' washer is filled for regular but with lukewarm washing, water and one-ha- lf the usual amount of soap is used. When the soap has formed suds, the machine la turned off and the clothes put in for a brief soaking. Make up the third tub full of Clothing which is lightly colored and slightly soiled. From here you can go on to the dark socks and heavily soiled clothing. If the water, during any of these tubs, gets too dirty, change It.

No longer are these fruits store items. You, too, can grow these fine fruits in your own garden. Pioneering in the development of new hardy fruits was the experiment station at Brookings. S. D. Here Dr. Hansen worked with the wild fruits and interbred them with hardy kinds from other parts of the s world. Other institutions and have since added to this and now there are many excellent kinds for the Mlddlewest. Most of these new plants are just the right size for the home garden. Plums are always welcome, but the old kinds that came from Europe will not grow well much beyond Pennsylvania, except in favorable spots. The new American plums have been developed from the wild plum and do not grow Into very large trees. They can withstand low temperatures and will grow in most any situation. KaneU is a medium size red plum. Opata baa a red skin and green flesh. Saps is a sobd red, skin and flesh. Hantka has redskin tftth a bluish color. Red Wing is dark red.

Everything, you might say, loosely, wants to get into an act. A bill Introduced in the Arkansas legislature would have provided a bounty for citizens who killed untaxed dogs. The sponsor said dogs were killing livestock. The house killed the bill. An Illinois proposal would make the owner liable for damages if his dog bit anybody who was peacefully conducting himself in a place where he may lawfully be. Postmen, milkmen, and meter reader were all for it. The legislators were told that leiter carriers weie attacked by dogs 650 times last year. Also that the cost of replacing a pair of postman's pants is $14 75. There is a similar measure in Missouri. But it draws a fine line. If the dog bit an invited guest, the guest couldnt sue. The senate and house in New Hampshire are trying to give each other the bird The senate nominated the New Hampshire red hen as the official state bird. The bouse nominated the chickadee.
