Runnels Harrell. Ingrained Dirt Harms Carpets

Don't let a film of dust obscure ‘the beauty of your precious rugs. Most Oriental rugs are washed re- _ peatedly during manufacture and the ryes are: thereby mellowed and enriched. Of course, you remove the surface dust by frequent goingover with a carpet sweeper or vacuum, but even vacuum cleaning does not affect the accumulated soil that works its way deep into the fibre after a period of constant and heavy wear. Before you start washing, however, remove as much of the dust as possible by vacuum cleaning, sweeping or beating. When it comes to the actual washing you will need a soft brush, a sponge, plenty of . clean, soft cloths and a good supply of water and neutral soap. Make a rich suds. Use about twice as much as you would for washing * clothes. Lather the brush well and go over a small section of the rug at a time, using a light circular motion. Rinsing comes next and be sure to make it thorough. As soon as each section . is clean rinse it with a cloth or sponge wrung out of the clear water, changing the water every few minutes to keep it clean. Mop up the excess moisture with clean cloths

Other games ranked below these three. , : For the country as a whole, including both men and women, the survey indicates that 83 per cent bf U. S. families play cards and 44 per cent of U.

Consumer Comm Rumors of Price

tional Defense Advisory Committee,

Existing stocks of sugar are readily available to consumers in the United States and are now considerably larger than usual, Miss Elliott points out. Sugar production can be expanded materially if it is necessary, the commissioner declared recently, and Cuba has large surplus stocks because of the curtailment in European markets. Miss Elliott assures: The power of the President to remove marketing restrictions, which would permit the more accessible producing areas to market sugar here and release reserve sugars stored here, coupled with shipping powers, should make it possible for American consumers to obtain adequate supplies of sugar at all times and at retail prices around existing levels.

2 #» ”

PREDICTIONS of a general increase in shoe prices in the near future are not justified by the shoe market conditions, Miss Elliott declared. “There is no basis for the claim | of some shoe dealers that a forth-| coming general rise in shoe prices | is evidenced by the December ad-| vance in Army shoe prices,” she| said. Conditions in the market, according to the Division of Purchases of the Office of Production Manage- | ment, warrant the expectation that | on future awards the prices will be substantially lower.”

Contracts just awarded complete the Army shoe purchases under appropriations for the current fiscal year, the commissioner stated. She explained that the seven million pairs purchased last year by the army made up less than 2 per cent of the total shoe production in 1940 and only about 7 per cent of the total volume of men’s work and dress shoes manufactured last year. “Delivery dates are distant enough to permit the Army shoes to be made during the normally slack months which are approaching,” Miss Elliott said. “There is consequently no question concerning the | possibility of satisfying the civilian demand.”

operation of housewives until the aluminum production becomes ade- | quate for both military and civilian | needs. . “The imposition of priorities on aluminum is a measure to facilitate defense production.” the commissioner explained. “Consumers can help conserve the nation’s existing supply of aluminum through the use of readily available materials and thus avoid harmful price increases in the existing stock of household aluminum goods.” The Consumer Division of the Defense Commission and the Bureau of Home Economics of the Department of Agriculture suggest such substitutes as enamelware, flameproof and heat-proof glass, cast iron and earthenware. Those with a supply of aluminum ware are being asked to not buy in order that others will not be deprived of a minimum supply. Manufacturers are being urged to help meet essential consumer demands by cutting down its use in ornamental

- Your Health

By JANE STAFFORD Science Servjce Writer

THE PERSON WHO FLIES, either as pilot or passenger, while he has a sore throat or a head cold is likely to suffer from earache, either mild or severe, and may even suffer rupture of the ear drum and temporary or permanent impairment of hearing. Doctors, especially those specializing in aviation medicine, now recognize this as a particular kind of middle ear disease called aero-otitis media. Even without sinusitis, a cold, or other infection in the nose or throat, the.condition may occur. This inflammation of the middle ear is caused by a difference in pressure between that of the air in the middle ear and that of the surrounding atmosphere. Changes in altitude during flight, as well as during ascents and descents for taking off and landing, are accompanied by changes in atmospheric pressure. ‘Normally, differences in pressure between the air inside the ear and that outside are equalized by opening the eustachian tube. This tube, made of hone, cartilage and fibrous tissue, leads from the middle: ear to the nasopharynx,

‘I which in turn communicates with

the larynx, mouth and nose. Infections of the nose and throat, even very slight ones, and also nasal obstructions, growths in the nose and nasopharynx or other similar condition may make it impossible to open the eustachian tube, » ” »

THE SIMPLEST WAY of opening the normal eustachian tube is to swallow. The average person swallows involuntarily about once a minute. This rate can be increased by chewing gum, eating, drinking or inhaling oxygen. Some persons have learned a special trick for opening the eustachian tubes during changes in altitude by suppressing a simulated yawn. In passenger airplanes the rate of ascent and descent is limited, except under unusual conditions, to one at which the average person's normal rate of swallowing once a minute will keep his eustachian tubes open and thus prevent ear trouble. With a cold or other condition which would make this natural way of equalizing air pressure ineffective, special precautions can and should be taken if one must fly. In such a. case, it would be best to consult a physician both as to the advisability of flying and the precautions to take.
