DO . . . carefully follow the di rections which come with the bleach you purchase, because there are different types applied in dif ferent ways. DO , . . consider a trick some times used by professionals bleaching the wood even lighter than necessary and then using just a touch of a non-grain-raising stain to give the wood exactly the right tint DO . . . cover such a stain with a coat of white shellac, diluted half and half with denatured al cohol, followed by varnish, lac quer or whatever finish you de sire. DO ... be certain to remove all hardware from the piece of furniture being bleached so that the metal will not be marred. DON'T . . . forget that bleach ing is the name given to the lightening of wood by the use of chemicals; it should not be con fused with the lightening of wood by the application of a pigmented undercoat DON'T . . . attempt to bleach over an old finish, which must first be thoroughly removed.

II at Salt Lake City. Chairman Ralph Davis of the Washington Public Service Com mission said Friday hr Oiympla the commission would be willing to intervene if it could be shown the proposed 80-cent reduction in freight rates on meat products would adversely affect the general public. John McMlnime of Outlook, pres ident of the cattlemen, said Satur day the livestock industry needs the help of the commission at the ICC hearing and will be given the data to support the association's charge that the proposed cut would result in "dumping' of meat pro ducts on the Pacific Coast .
