Remedy Found
For Mildew
To protect cotton shower cur
tains, awnings, canvas or porch
furniture or other fabrics against
mildew, ordinary copper sulphate
has been found effective by tex
tile chemists of the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture, according to
Winnifred Gillen, home demon
stration agent.
A simple home treatment con
sists of first thoroughly cleaning
the fabric and then heating it
about 20 minutes in enough
thick soapsuds to cover it. The
fabric is then removed and the
excess soap squeezed out. Next
put the fabric in a solution of
copper sulphate in water in a Lj.

before making a survey, on the
Marion-Polk counties' selection
of a site a half mile south of
the present ferry crossing for
the new $640,000 bridge across
the Willamette river near Inde

the state highway engineer with
power to award after determin
ing whether the construction
moratorium would affect state
projects receiving federal aid.
They were:

and oiling Tumalo-Deschutes

BURNING UP
BURNING OIL IS LIKE BURNING MONEY I
Tell-tale smoke shows excessive oil burning . . J
this waste is caused by worn rings which allows
the oil to be pumped into the firing chamber.
This means loss of compression which makes it
impossible for your engine to operate efficiently.
Bring back the old "pep" . . . savings on gas and
oil will pay for new rings in a short time.
If your car is burning oil, ask us about new
piston rings ... it will save you money!
