State College Hints To Farm Homemakers By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent How well summer shoes wear depends on how they are cleaned, clothing specialists say. The right cleaning not only keeps them looking new but also makes them last longer. White shoes should be cleaned off the foot and not worn until they are thoroughly dry. If worn damp, the leather or fabric may stretch out of shape. Put in shoe , trees or stuff with tissue paper before cleaning. There is no one cieaner that is equally good for all white shoes. The specialists advise reading the label on the cleaner to be sure it is recommended for the type of leather or fabric in the shoes. In general, white shoe soap is best for white smooth leather because it cleans without drying and hardening the leather. Dressing that con tains whitening material like chalk is suited to cloth shoes. Old dressing should always be brushed out before applying more. Shoes of white suede or other napped leather may be "Powder-cleaned" rather than liquid-cleaned. Use one of the buffer bags of chalk-like mate rial sold for the purpose. If white shoes are grass stained, first brush or sponge off the old polish, then brush with a solution of sodium per borate (sold at drug stores for cleaning teeth) or peroxide. Then rinse and polish, working rapidly in order not to wet the shoes any more than necessary. A wooden match dipped in ink is. an excellent substitute for a pen for addressing parcels; it saves the pen and makes the writing bolder and clearer. For a delicate onion flavor in sandwiches, slip the knife with which you are slicing tomatoes for sandwiches into an onion several time while , slicing each tomato. This will contribute a flavor to the sandwiches which will be piquant but not strong enough to be unpleasant. the shortest period of time went to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rogers, of Tellico. L. L. Martin, of Blairsvillc, Ga., had the largest family present, and Lawrence Justice of Tellico had the largest truck load of per sons present. Joe Higdon was awarded the prize for having the baldest head.
