The charm of a jumper dress lies not only in its smartness, Twelve Ways You Can Save On Soap 1. Unwrap bar soap and let it dry out—it will not melt so fast in water. 2.

Put washing machine in mo tion before adding soap. 5. Save bits of laundry soap, add boiling water to make a thin jelly; use for laundry or cleaning. 6. To wash windows, use any good commercial preparation. 7. Soak, pans as soon as food is removed. 8. Before washing dishes and pans, clean off grease with used paper napkins, fruit wrappers, or newspapers.^ 9. Binse all dishes in clear water before washing. 10. If you use bar soap, be sure the soap-dish drains. 11. Starch children’s clothes, shirts, house-dresses, aprons, table linen so they won’t get dirty so quick. 12.

Club Quite a few of the Ecusta em ployees have joined the newly or ganized chapter of the Business and Professional Women’s Club, which is a national organization devoted to the promotion and ad justment of women’s place in the world outside their own homes. Once the club has completed its organization details, it will work not only independently but also with other clubs of the town on community interests. First project to be proposed was that members offer to have them selves typed as possible blood do nors at the ‘ Transylvania county hospital. The proposal was met with enthusiasm and inquiries are being made to facilitate and ex pedite the typing. This is, of course, a project not exclusively for the benefit of women but is indicative of the ideals and pur poses of the club. A number of types of work are represented in the membership and a fine relationship is antici pated between our own employees and members who come from other local industries and professions.
