For example, tests made by the American Institute of Laundering clearly show that outdoor drying of colored things often makes them unusable because of faded colors long before the fabric itself has succumbed to normal wear. pi-ka stands.

All worn out from whipping around on the clothesline, .Mr. O.D. (Outdoor Dried) Shirt looks en viously at Mr. I.D. (Indoor Dried) Shirt stepping merrily out the laundry door. One particular test made by the Laundry Institute showed that some color-fast percales of high quality became so faded after twen ty 20-minute exposures to sun dry ing that it was almost impossible to discern their original coloring or desi-ns. Swatches from the same original cloth, washed and dried inside at the laundry, however, re mained just as clear-toned and de- fm.tely patterned as the original cloth That’s one of the reasons why professional laundries dry o'ur things inside instead of letting Old Sol get in his destructive work. Then, too, clothing whipping about on the line has a tendency to become weakened where the clothes pins are attached. All this is a- voided in the professional laundry w here articles are dried inside. In side drying also protects clean washing from becoming contami nated again with gasoline fumes and soot which may be present in the air. To prevent fading and weaken ing materials by outdoor drying at home, hang the washing early in the morning so it can be taken down before the mid-day period or late in the afternoon. And never hang out the washing in a strong wind. I Prize war product of the loggers and lumbermen of the DougLd fir and Sitka spruce is the Mosquito Bomber of the Royal Air Force, according to the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association. In his new book, "The Air Offensive Against Germany,” Allan A. Michie reports that a Mosquito made the 1500-mile trip be tween England and Genoa in 35 hours—or an average speed of 428 miles per hour. It was a flight of Mos quitos that laid the first bombs of 1943 on Berlin. This was a daylight raid on the 10th Nazi Anniversary. It ran the orators of the day, Goering and Goebbels, • {into their rat holes. t Recently Mosquitos bombed Berlin twice in one ! vweet v .Ths Mosquito is all-wood—plywood and spruce DECREASE IN UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION Unemploymwit benefits during the fir^t five months of 1943 have decer eased more than 87 per cent as compart'd with the same period last year, it was announced today by Silas Gaiser. administrator of the State Unemployment Compen- WITH THE APPROACHING SUMMER MONTHS WASH-DAYS | BECOME MORE DREADED.

So fast is this bomber even in sharpest maneu vers that the sudden compression and expansion of air at its wing tips, as in a steep turn, condenses water vapor, so that each tip may seem to be trailing a long silver ribbon. The Mosquito bomber dramatically illustrates why the War Manpower Commission has asked all loggers in the shipyards to go .back to the woods. Related examples are the motor torpedo boats that fought off the escape of the Africa Korps, the fleets of invasion barges, and the ponton bridges tliat spearhead the at tacks of our ground forces over rivers and swamps. sation Commission. Only $187,261 has been paid out this year as compared w’ith $1,481,- .587 in 1942 and $3.291,750 in the first five months of 1938, since whictj time a sternly decline in . benefits has been recorded. Last week 172 unemployed workers drew $2486 in benefits. Of these nearly half were in the Astoria ar«*a where canneries were operating on a r«*duced schedule because of new seasonal restric- ' tions on fishing. Portland had only seven claims, fewer than Salem. Eugene, Marshfield, Toledo or I-aGrande. With canneries gradually going into full production and acatttred lumbering projects again operat ing at capacity, the claim load is expected to drop during the sum- mer months to a negligible num ber. Of 59 claimants unemployed four or more week», 33 were women, according to the report Only 13 were under -10 years of age, and 14 were over 60 The old «-st claimant was an 81-year- old burler at a woolen mill. ------ BUY BONDS------- Oregon and Washington grow ers of "A” crops have been allo cated an dditional 100O tons of nitrate fertilizer by the War Pro duction board.
