Zurich Herald, 1956-07-26, Page 3How Can I?
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can I make bottles
leak -proof for taking in my
luggage on a trip?
A. Any bottle can be made
leak -proof, if, after the cork has
been tightly fitted into it, it is
dipped into melted paraffin.
Then tie a piece of heavy paper
over the top to make it even
more secure.
Q. How can I prevent rugs
from curling at the edges?
A. Make a thin starch, Dis-
solve a small amount of gum ara-
bic in a little water and add to
the starch. Turn the rug up-
side down and apply the solu-
tion with a paint brush. Let it
dry.
Q. How can I remove yellow
rpots from old lace?
A. Either wet the lace and
spread it where it will freeze,
or wet it and spread in a very
hot sun. Either method may re-
quire several days to bleach
thoroughly, and it must be kept
wet all the time.
Q. How can I remove rust
from iron or steel?
A. There is nothing like a
touch of kerosene, applied with
powdered bath brick to give it
the proper amount of roughage.
Q. How can I niake easy the
task of re -knitting a sweater?
A.„ The,.task, of ..re -knitting a
sweater can, be made easier if
the kinks are first taken out
o1 the yarn. Wind the yarn in a
skein, tie together firmly, and
wash it in lukewarm water.
Then fold in a towel and put
In a warm place to dry. The
kinks will be gone when the
yarn has drier.
Q. How can I renew velvet?
A. Steam velvet over the
spout of a tea -kettle. Place a
funnel in the spout and you
will be able to cover a larger
area.
Q. How can I make shoes wat-
erproof?
A. Shoes can be made water-
proof and also preserved by
melting a little beeswax, and
adding enough sweet oil to
snake it pour. Then warm the
shoe soles and pour on the mix-
ture while it is hot. Hold the
shoes near the fire until the
mixture is absorbed into the
leather.
Q. How can I remove oil
spots from carpets?
A. Cover the spots with paste
made of fuller's earth and wat- "
tr and let it remain twenty-four
hours. If it is oil from oiled
streets, scrub with benzine.
Q. How can I make the taste
tf olive oil more agreeable, if
someone considers it unpleasant?
A. A pinch cif salt aids consid-
erably.

shooters at the first Canaadian
Skeet Championship Shoot held re-
sently in Montreal.
These crack -shots, who would
rather spend their time shooting at

tice their sport winter or summer,
In snow, sleet, wind or rain. Tills

. In fact, it was difficult to dis-
tinguish the women from the men
,— and the way they handled their
guns would certainly note give them
away.
This is one sport where thele ,
aren't any "ladies rules." Tlie-wo
men use the same guns, shoot on
the same squads under the sante.,
conditions as the men — and are
not favored by any handicaps.
Most women who shoot skeet took
up the sport in "self-defence," be-
ing married to ardent marksmen.
Rather than stay at home while
husbands participated in shooting
meets, they gave it a try them-
selves. Now they are every bit as
keen as the men and compete with
them successfully, In Canada, about
40 per cent of the membership in
skeet clubs is feminine.
Once bitten by the skeet bug, even
the most petite of these enthusiasts
happily totes a seven or eight pound
shotgun. Absorbing the "kick"' from
a .12 gauge shell perhaps 100 times
in an afternoon requires certaiu
physical fitness!
But when they discard their shoot.
ing clothes and don party dresses,
Canada's shooting women look for
all the world as if they would run
in terror from a cap gun.
Hints For The
Summer Cottage
Summer homes are coming to life.
As . the last traces of snow disap-
pear from the woods, the annual
ceremony of "opening up the cot-
tage" is performed by thousands of
Canadians.
Brooms and scrubbing brushes
play their part, but the magic wand
which restores summer sparkle is.
a paint brush.
For instance, if the linoleum on
the floor looks shabby, yet is still
in ,tolerable condition, it can be
given a coat of color. Scrub it care..
fully, making sure that every trace
of wax is removed. (Otherwise,
paint won't stick !) . Apply one or
two coats of a good floor enamel.
Then, to make less obvious the in-
evitable dirt and sand tracked in
from the beach, mottle it with a
contrasting color.
You can do this by dipping a
piece of sponge in a shallow pan
paint, then dabbing it on the floor.
Or dip a brush in the paint, tap it
- on a stick held in the left hand,
and achieve a spatter effect. (Lt
might be a good idea to practice
on a sheet of newspaper!) A final
coat of varnish will protect the
paint from summer wear -and -tear.
WHAT'S ON FIRST? — Sort out
the characters and you get

Yank's Bill Skrowron (looking
west) during a game at the
Yankee Stadium.
Perhaps the wooden furniture in
the cottage is the result of do-it-
yourself projects. If chair seats and
table tops are rougher than they
should be, hours of sandpapering
can be saved by covering all your
troubles with plastic -coated fabric,
which comes in dozens of colors and
textures and can be applied with
glue or fastened down with brass -
studded tacks. It costs little and
an occasional wipe with a damp
cloth will keep it bright for many
a holiday season.
If you're looking for make -shift
furniture, keep in mind orange
crates. In the bedroom, two set side..
by -side from an excellent caressing
table. A piece of plastic fabric on
the top and a frilly skirt tacked
around the edge will make any re-
semblance to an orange crate pure-
ly coincidental.
In the living room, these crates
make ideal end -tables. Disguised
with paint to blend with the rest
of the furniture, they are a handy
size for lamps. The shelf made by
the divider is a natural for hold-
ing magazines.
If you are not already an avid
do-it-yourself fan, the cottage is an
ideal place to test your creative
genius. If results are less -than -per-
fect, who cares?

Humane Slaughter
Senator Humphrey will hold
•hearings this week on a bill to
require humane methods of
slaughtering meat animals in
.. Ames an packing houses. Al-
.thoug i, ::such methods are en-
forcej'Jby law in most Euro-
pean •-countries, they are not
mandatory in the United States
and, indeed, are rarely observ-
ed here. Cattle, sheep, calves
and hogs are commonly killed
here by techniques which subject
them to senseless terror and
suffering: they are dragged aloft
and suspended by a chain
fastened around one hind leg;
then their throats are cut and
they are Ieft to bleed to death.
It is entirely practicable to ren-
der the animals unconscious be-
fore slaughter, as Senator Hum-
phrey's bill would require, by
anesthetizing them with carbon
dioxide or by stunning them
with electric tongs or a captive
bolt pistol.
Most of the major meat pack-
ers oppose this legislation, and
for some strange reason they
have found support for their
opposition in the Department of
Agriculture. The Department
says it "has always favored and
worked for humane methods in
all aspects of handling of ani-
mals" but that in this situation
it "is guided by a sincere belief
that mandatory Federal legis-
lation would not be the best
way to assure continued pro-
gress in the solution of this pro-
blem." This may be sincere but
it is also unrealistic. In the first
place, voluntary cooperation,
althought sought for many
years, has not produced com-
pliance with decent standards.
In the second place, the depart-
ment has long used legislation
to assure humane treatment of
animals; for example, it en-
forces an effective law respect-
ing the treatment of animals in
transit to slaughterhouses. In
the. third place, mandatory re-
gulations afford the most equi-
table and even-handed way to
obtain general observance of
humane slaughter methods.
Senator Humphrey's bill ought
to become law: — Washington

gigs Eo Flight
From nature is to be gained
more knowledge than from any
school or college. In fact, most
of the knowledge in books is
but what mas has learned from
a careful study of nature. Sci-
ence has gone back a hundred
million years. .
We had only of late years seen
the. earth, upon which we walk
and work, from the same height
that birds have known it for
centuries. Our gliding planes of
today are but the pictured evi-
dence of flight long, long ago
before man ever trod this earth!
Wonder of wonders is the
wing of every bird. When out-
spread, soaring high above the
earth, what is there more fas-
cinating to watch? An eagle,
hawk, sea gull, pigeon, heron,
crane, starling—and that exqui-
site creature the humming bird
—each has its own marvelous
wings that fan the air in flight
—and each is a spectacle of won-
der and delight.
But nothing is so remarkable
as the use to which these wings
of birds are put—many migra-
ting thousands of miles from
their different stays throughout
the year. Birds in Hawaii, for
example, nest and breed in far-
away Alaska and then fly back,
to those flower-scented islands
to play out their days of joy
and song.
The tiny humming bird is the
only land bird known which can
fly backward! And when its frail.
and delicate bill is inserted in a
flower to gain its honey, its
wings work so fast that its small
body seems stationary in the
air, The down stroke then be-
comes an almost horizontal for-
ward stroke. It can even rise
straight up into the air!

work of one of these flying birds.
Take the friendly little house
wren. It is recorded that it has
fed its young 1,217 times during
the period of a single day! And
there are birds that pile up food
for their young beside the nest
for future feedings. Busy crea-
tures, these feathered friends of
ours. Few drones among them.
As these birds fly above the
earth, how happy they seem!
How they enjoy life! How grace-
fully they float among the clouds
and carry the sunlight upon
their beautiful backs. Symme-

mindful of neither time nor
space! — From "Better Than
