JO SKRRA £«REAT PROGRESS his been made in the field of fabrics during the last 10 and 20 years. This progress has gone hand in hand with strides made in the laundering of those materials. If, however, you are still follow ing ancient laundering methods and wondering why clothes don’t 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 have no -place in modern launder ing methods. Take a vacation from rough laundering methods, learn a bit about the new rules, and see how delightfully clean the clothes will be with much less effort and work. You’ll be saving on the cloth ing bucfget, too. Prolonged Soaking Weakens Material Contrary to the general belief that the dirtier the clothes, the longer they should be soaked, over night soaking is not a good idea. Prolonged soaking not only weak ens 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 20 minutes, - * ji ctojfces are soaked In a sink or a~ laundry tub, fill with luke warm water and add enough soap to make two inches of suds. The way to get the most* good out of soaking is to place them in an Pre-Wash Clothes Gas, Burning Two Laurens, July 29—A fi ^ lightning here Saturday afternoon a< Special to The Chronicle. about 4 30 put two men in the Lau- Columb:a, Aug 3.—(The division'of rens Coijnt y hospital w.th painful vital .statistics of the South Carolina , an< ^ head burns.

They were never more charming than they are this season with their youthful and flattering ways. There's the great influence of the bonnet, and more than a touch of the newly revived cloche. But, then, the pert little sailor is as fresh and crisp looking as ever. It's versatile with gingham, chambray. linen and may well burst forth in pastels and bril liants. Yes, the sailor justifies its popularity with all-around satisfactory service and smart- ness. x which stains cannot be removed by bleaching, it's wonderful how sunshine works. Many of the stains are bleached by gentle sunlight, and colors take on a new, refreshed look. If you are fortunate enough to be able to dry your clothes out side, you’ll also appreciate the beneficial properties of the wind or breeze. You don’t have to shake out clothes carefully as the breeze will puff them out and get rid of the wrinkles you would otherwise have to iron out. Save Ironing Time By Proper Preparation Remember the tight knots into which women wound clothes to get them ready for ironing? Expeots now tell us to lay clothes flat and fold them as little as possible. It’s not wise to dampen clothes too heavily either for ironing if you're interested in time-saving practices. In fact, if you can re move clothing from the line in a slightly damp state, they can be folded neatly then ironed. The more wrinkles you put in clothes by crushing them in a Clothes basket or by winding them, the more* time ironing will take. For clothes which must be dampened, a neat way to do it is by using a spray to get just a light mist on the clothes. To iron fine linens properly, dampen and fold them. Then place m a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator for an hour or so. The- material will not dry out, and the fabric will attain an all-over dampness which makes for iron ing ease. Watch Heat Control # During Ironing Old-fashioned irons took pressure rather than a high degree of heat to give you a well pressed surface. New irons are operated by con trolling heat. Use the gauge and let it guide you for the proper heat on all fabrics. Sometimes it’s difficult to get in to the habit of using one of the new irons. They’re lightweight and those of us who have used old fashioned types still want to keep pressing them. This is both unnecessary and tiring. Take it easy, u the best motto in breaking tne habit. was welcomed to the service Plans for an all-church picnic are now in the making.
