THE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY MORNING, .APRIL 20; 921 W jfS A . 1 -K"L"v i . 1 I I I. Illy 1 How r SEEMS to be a favorite theory of men that women enjoy spring cleaning as much as men dread it. The husband In fall flight before tie determined housewife, armed t - wltb mop, broorn and pall. Is a standard comic figure. a a matter, of fact that same ' housewife, who bears the real bur ;fiea of the undertaking, dreads It 'far more than any mere man. who suffers at most a day or two of ln- convenience and the temporary loss of his pipe or hte slippers. What" the rood housewife likes Is .the tense of cleanliness and order 'which follows upon the annual event. The cleaning Uself is an ordeal which, calls for all of her ; courage and puts a heavy tax upon 'her physical strength. - It need not be so- bad. however. If system and forethought are. in voked beforehand. It Is well to " begin with the kitchen. ; If the utensils In every day use .are of enameled ware, the' task of clean lag them all la a light one. Soap and plenty of hot water will do tie Job without any undue expendi ture of "elbow grease." Of course kitchen pantries and kitchen shelves must be thoroughly cleaned out i and useless articles eliminated. There " is no use in ties 3 days of keeping odds and enis to collect dirt on the theory tia they, will come in usefully soae day. With a clean kitchen to faXback on. the. housewife has es Ulllsbei strategic headquarters a&d.'can go about the rest of the house more at her convenience. The great help 4ai such- work is txrizz - the proper, implements. Two, pails should jal ways be used in cleaning., one for scrub , water and - one for rinsing. - It : these pails are enameled ware, they are - a comfort. Not only is the enamel ed ware ilght. but the palls them ' selves are- so easily cleaned after a day's work with them. In pre war days housewives ' were urged to use large sponges for cleaning Instead of cloths.. That was good advice and Is so still, if such - "sponges can be procured at mod erate prices. If not. soft cloths, plenty of, them, can be used. The real secret of good cleaning is t-lenty of rinsing after the scrub ' tins. "As to mops, each woman dust - Judge tor herself. - Some women like to use a mop and oth ers say they nevet can get good results except on their bands and isn Seeks To Ban Billboards NEW YORK, April 27. The multitudes of glaring signboards which, dot the nation's highways Iroza coast to coast are doomed and will be largely done away . with, if the campaign of the Na tional Committee for Restriction cf Outdoor Advertising is success fully carried out.' Its program to pteserve the scenic beauty of the .country's roadways and. to elimin ate the unsightly billboards which line every vacant space in the cit ies, already has been indorsed by IS national advertisers, according to Mrs. W. L. Lawton, commit tee chairman. . Efforts to do away with the ., signs are now being projected by the committee in nine states and j eventually" it is planned to extend the movement throughout the na- tion. . - : ' The national organization is at present co-operating with 41 civic. .social and other" bodies, 13 of which are national, including the , Federation of Women's Clubs and the Garden Clubs of America. la a campign to preserve civic values the support of Chambers of Commerce and Merchants' as sociations also has been enlisted It was pointed out' that the com mittee is not seeking to eliminate the use of outdoor advertising, but io restrict it to commercial loca .- Hons.. . . ' , The work of removing these un sightly encroachments along the Lake George highway in the Adirondack already has been be gun by a number of national ad vertisers, and the Standard Oil companies of New York and Cali fornia are at present extending It throughout their districts. Other, national ' advertisers which have indorsed the commit te's progranj are Kirkman & Son, Kelly-Sprlngileld Tire company. rillsbury Flour .Mills company, Champion Spark Plug company, B. F. Goodrich Rubber company, Sun Oil company. Hood Rubber Company , AJax Rubber "Company, Ward Baking company. Dodge brothers. Cult Refining company, Texas, company and Fleischmann company. "" On a rainy Sunday Dad seems to tink tho "daily dozen" refers to 1 N Cleaning jm& to Make It a Pleasure i a e 'i j : ill i tsv 1 Instead of- a Nuisance, knees armed with their faithful scrub brushes. ; In washing windows : a small enameled. ware hand basin to hold, hot soap suds will be found very useful. To get the gloss as bright as. possible, the soapsuds should be used hot. It is therefore better to mix them la a small receptacle like a hand basin or a good-sized enameled ware bowl, than to "put them Into an ordinary sized pan. Or a strong solution of one of the numerous soap powders ' may he made ia an enameled ware, pitcher and the preparation may be added' to very hot water from time-to time as required. , These-enameled' ware pitchers are the only kind that can be guaranteed to with-' stand the rough and , tumble of house-cleaning and come out with, noses and handles intact. - Few people in these days hare carpets to take - up, and a rug covered floor gets . so much Inci dental cleaning from day to day that there is not much accumula tion of dust for the semi-annual event. However a thorough scrub bing never hurt anything and a room which has had people in it all through the shut-up winter months will be all-the better for a good freshening. It there have been many colds In the family or children have been afflicted with some of the contagious maladies peculiar to their age. it may be well to use mild disinfectants in the cleaning water. There again we appreciate the enameled ware pails as they can not rust and are not affected by the chemicals nsed in such disinfectants. ' . Washing out curtains, both sash and long, always seems a formid able undertaking and . so. ft is. if all such curtains are done at once. If. however, the sash curtains, for example, of each room are washed out -when that room is cleaned, it makes . the process easier. Fill a large sized enameled ware dish pan with very hot water; dissolve ay favorite eeap preparation in it add the 'curtains'-and soak over night. Next day they, will wash out without trouble and can be pressed - while . still damp. Long curtains ! can be ' washed in the same way. a pair at a time, and the wise housewife will , have a frame on which to stretch them. Make a spring cleaning also a spring clearing. It is a fine time to realize bow many things you bave that you never use and to re lease yourself from their tyranny.
