Brunette of Chicago has been awarded $475 of a $700 down-payment he made in 1951 on\a house in Wooded Shores. Brunette's case was settled by Circuit Judge G" Sullivan last week after Circuit Judge Carroll refused to sit in the case, saying in. open court that he was too filled with prejudice to make a decision. Brunette purchased a home from Grover Wickline in Wooded Shores and made a down-payment. But when the title to the place did not come through at the end of a three-month period, he Withdrew from the contract. The judge allowed Wickline $75 per month rent for the place during the three months because Wickline's attorney said the Brunettes used the place weekends for that period. .

V TELL METHOD OF - REMOVING CANDLE WAX FROM LINENS * Candle wax on your beat tablecloth ? Don't worry, it's easy to remove. Here is the method recommended by Mrs. Alice Coleman, home management specialist at the University of Illinois: Scrape away a> much of the wax as possible with a dull knife. Then place the stained part between two pieces of white blotting paper, or between paper towels or cleansing tissues. Press the area with a warm iron, changing the blotters •as they become soiled from absorbing the wax. Sponge final traces of the stain with carbon tetrachloride. As you may know, carbon tetrachloride is a nonflammable dry cleaning fluid that is sold under many trade names. You will find it helpful in removing grease and oil stains. The fumes are poisonous if you inhale them too continuously, so if you have much of a job to do it is best to work outdoors where the breeze can blow the fumes away from you as you work. If colored candles leave a stain after you've used the grease solvent, sponge the area with a solution of one part denatured alcohol diluted with two parts water. (ADVERTISEMENT) m * . jba*t StufA., GAS FUMES HARM DYES A few weeks ago, we mentioned gas fumes as a cause of fading in dyes, especially on rayons. Dyes are, of course, subject to fading influences and hazards from many sources. One of the most inescapable circumstances of life is heating in the home. Essential to food preparation and comfort, heat has, unfortunately for our apparel, a harmful effect on dyes. Whatever the source of the flame, combustion produces gasses. The resulting oxides of nitrogen a f f e c t d y e s t u f f s , cause bleaching, discoloration, fading and fabric damag®. The dye most affected is blue or any dye color which b l u e . . . • . • The point, is tl|}s. Gas (acid) fading d&'W£tgiraji a whole garment, or on an exposed portion of it. The purplish or violet discoloration which results cannot be remedied. Frankly, we don't really know what to suggest. To say, don't buy any rayon with blue in it would certainly be restrictive. You can, however, delay gas fume fading --- sometimes up to the time the garment is dose to cto^r Doors BclcSEPI a?| AWARp NOW ALL TIMES. And, when buying,' you might ask for the new "fade resistant" fabrics which air shpposed to be quite good.
