Only once in a while are they called to our attention when one of them flies furiously to the top of the window. When a shade flies up at the least provocation, it means that the tension is too strong. To remedy the situation roll the shade to the top of the window and remove it from brackets. Then unroll it part way by hand and rehang. This will re duce the roller’s spring power. If the spring action of the roll er is too weak, lower the shade ap proximately two feet and take it out of the bracket. Re-roll by hand and rehang. This will tighten the spring. Cloth window shades are avail able in several qualities. 1. The best have a cotton cambric base, so closely woven that no filling is required to give a smooth even surface. They have a finish of pyroxylin or oil paint and can be washed with soap and water with out injury to the fabric. 2. Better quality shades are made on an unfilled muslin base with a linseed oil finish. 3. Medium quality are made of muslin and have some filling to provide proper surface for the linseed oil finish. They can be cleaned with a damp cloth or prepared cleanser. 4. The least expensive have muslin base which requires more filling. The color is also provided by the fill ing. They can be cleaned with wall paper cleanser or art gum.
