Homemakers! At the time of
writing the weather tempts one to
wash all the Winter woollies and bang
them out in the Spring breeze. How-
ever, when one reads of places for
washing clothes such as they have in
New York, one wonders! There the
homemaker can take her bundle down
to the corner laundry where she is as-
signed a washing machine. She puts
the clothes in the machine, a quarter
in the slot and turns on the water, add,
ing the required amount of soap, sets
the dial and then settles down to read
any of their magazines. In fact there
is a note at the top of each story as
to reading time. Finally she takes her
wet wash home and hangs it out in
her own back yard.
Coming back home we make a brief
survey of laundering costs. Whether
to send the weekly wash to commercial
laundries or to buy an automatic, non-
automatic or semi-automatic machine
and do the job at home, is a problenr
for many women.
Laundry practices of city and farm
families were compared and found to
be similar. Few families soaked the
wash and most homemakers used the
same suds water' for all the clothes. A
majority put the clothes through two
rinse waters and used the same rinse
water for the entire wash. Except for
actual sudsing, very little hot water
was used. Farm women do their wash
at home but few have stationary tubs
and ironers.
Laundering costs approximate twen-
ty-five dollars a year with the non-
automatic washer, minus rinsing facil-
ities, and slightly more than twenty-
five dollars with the automatic mach-
ine, These compare favourably to com-
mercial laundries where a wet wash
can be done for you.

jobs necessary for the carefully opera-

ted washing machine, costs are neces-
sarily higher for automatics. Major
points in the automatic's favour ark
their energy saving qualities,. no pud-
dles to mop and a cleaner wash.
The homemaker must decide for
herself which she can afford to save
more-time, money or labour.
1, Hard water for laundry purposes
prevents thorough cleansing. A zeol-
ite tank -is the most efficient way to
soften water and it pays dividends in
soap saved and in longer life to fab-
ries. For delicate fabrics (woollens and
nylons) use one teaspoon -of borax per
gallon of water; :nix well, then add
soap. Washing soda or other -commer-
cial softeners are fine for linens and
cottons--but only if added before the
soap.
2. To whiten cotton and linen fab-
rics (white or colorfast) you may
bleach with chloride of lime solutions.
It is most necessary to rinse in 3 wat-
ers afterwards, otherwise any remain-
ing bleach will weaken the fabric. 13Ius
ing will brighten delicate fabrics which
cannot be bleached, To prevent streak-
ing, it must be thoroughly mixed with
the last rinse water.
3. Ironing is a time-consuming job
and can be tiring. To reduce labour,
hang the wet clothes carefully, Shake
out and hang bed linen, towels and
face cloths, square-with the line. When
they are dry, shake again, fold and put
away. Fold towels and press them.
Sitting on a stool to iron the straight
things and a good firm ironing board
at the proper level make the job easier.
THE QUESTION' BOX
Mrs. A. P. T. asks for best meth-
rids to wash woollens.
Answer:
1. Use lots of warm water (never boil-
'big hot.)
2. Soften whit borax (about 113 cup
for the average tub). Add soap dis-
solved in hot water first,
S. Shake out fret dust, Measure
knitted garments,
4. Never operate machine for knit
ted' goods and others Which require
only S minute washing. Place in an-
other suds if badly soiled,
6. Squeeze, do not twist 'to remove
water from light garments. Or place
woollens through a wringer with light
pressure. Hold 'the fabric up as it goes
through wringers to keep its shape.
▪ Haug .woollets in a warm breeze
to 'dry. Never let ,garittents freeze, nor
!place near direct heat.
• Shrunken and felted woollens
May be partially -restored by steaming.'
Use a heavy pressing Cloth quite 'wet.
Stretch carefully while pressing over.

Miss P. J. asks: :plow can I take an
ink stain out Of a. pink woollen sweat-,

Answer: If it has not been washed
yet, use lemon *ice or salts of lemon

CONTRACT BRIDGE
A hand played at Bridge Club sev-
eral weeks ago draws attention to the
fact that many players either have in-
sufficient acquaintanee with the com-
mon safety plays, or ne lect them
through thoughtlessness. It 's true that
the more abstruse safety p ays belong
to the realm of the experts, but many
others should be in regular use by all
of us who play bridge. •

East dealer
North and South vulnerable.
At almost every table this hand was
played by East at a contract of four
spades.. Probably the usual bidding
was:
East South West North
1S Pass 2D Pass
3D Pass 3S Pass
4S Pass Pass Pass
Three of the declarers went down
one trick, and the explanation of this
is not hard to find. There is no way
to avoid losing two tricks in hearts
and one in clubs; the focal point is the
trump suit.
The declarer who started trumps
by leading the queen from dummy us-
ed up both the queen and ace in capt-
uring North's singleton king, and
thereby established South's nine of
spades for the setting trick. However,
it is pleasing to note that the majority
of the declarers made the correct first
lead of a small spade from dummy, and
they made their contracts with ease
and dispatch,
If the king of spades had not been
singleton in the North hand the lead
from dummy would have been inmat-
erial but the safety play cost nothing
and this time it paid a handsome
dividend.
PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J. Boyle
Wizen you get grey, grim weather
such as we have been having this past
few weeks, just about everything
seems to go wrong, You read in the
newspapers that unless the weather
i
clears by a certain day, there will be
so much of a fantastic crop loss for
farmers, Then you listen to the wea-
ther probabilities on the radio and the
weatherman adds the final touch to
your gloom,
Monday morning looked not had.
Although it had peppered rain all day
Sunday, Monday morning did have a
touch of sun. Mrs. Phil put her Mon-
day wash out on the line. I puttered
about the driving shed trying to make
myself believe that I :was doing some-
thing useful. A bit of a breeze started
blowing. That was promising because
it would help to dry the land out.
I went up to the house am! was just
going hi the back woodshed door when
the 'clothesline broke. Down came the
. whole line full of clean clothes anti
• right over the woodpile it sprawled.
This consisted for the most part of
a pile of buzz wood which I had never
-gotten around to piling.
The next fifteen minutes were hec-
tic ones. I decided to gather np the
clothes myself :and at icast spare my
wife the sight of them in such stir-
toundings, Whet1 I appeared at the
back ,door with the basket full of cloth.

I had 'made one bad mistake however.
Having been in the driving shed work-
big on the mower my hands had ac-
eumulated a certain amount of oil and
grease, 'Mete were generous deposits

of this along with slivers from the
' woodpile decorating the wash,
While Mrs. Phil went to work doing
the washing over again, I attempted to
fix the clothesline. The pulley hind
milted the screw out of the post. I
fitted a wooden plug in, put the screw
back into the post amid reset the pulley.
Then the fun started. 'Unsnarliog a
Clothesline is a. hazardous' ask. Twice I
almost cut my head off. My hands'
were cut and' scratched front broken
strands of wire. T lost my temper on
many occasions... too numerous as
a matter 'of fact to be counted.
I would just get the clotheSline up.
