Rainier in Washington each exhale vapor at times. clean the white side wails of j my automobile tires? ! A. One of the easiest and | most effective methods is to ; use the kind of steel wool pads j that are filled with soap. Q. Can you suggest an ef- I ficient way of locking two or i more card tables together into ! j one long table for a family | gathering or picnic? A. This can be done by setting the adjacent pairs of legs into snugfitting tin cans. Be j ! sure to use cans that provide a tight fit for the two legs and I are high enough to keep the 1 lengths of the legs together. Q. How can I make a simple, harmless, and effective whitener for myrAdainty >eur-/ tains and fine linens? A. A tablespoon of powd- j ered borax, added to the final rinse water, will do this. Q. How can I remove white rings left on a table top by too-hot dishes? A. Place a few drops of camphorated oil or sweet oil on the ring, let soak in for a few minutes, then polish off with a soft cloth.

A good, safe- watt is to cover the trousers with newspaper and use your iron on top of that. In this way, there's no need, to wait for the pants to dry because they haven't really been steamed. If the trousers are shiny, try using a pressing cloth that's been dipped in bluing water and wrung out. Q. How can I prevent the fraying of ribbon ehds on dresses and hats? A. By applying clear fingernail polish to the *ends of the ribbons. Just run the polish applicator along the edge of the ribbon. Q. How can I tell by the flame in my water-heater whether the heater is working efficiently or not? , A. It the flame is red or orange-- and not predominantly blue-- it needs adjusting. It's not giving as much heat as it could, and it forms carbon on the bottom of the tank, which slows down the heating of the water. Some of the carbon drops into, and clogs, the burner outlets. Q. How can I remove paraffin easily from a container in which it has been melted for some canning? . A. Fill the container with boiling water, then allow this to cool. The paraffin will float on the surface of the water. Q. What can I do about a felt hat that has become spotted by rain? »• A. Try rubbing the surface of the hat with some steel wool until the nab i£ raised, and j^ou \vilr find'that the spots" have disappeared.
