Wool Clothing is Best 

 When it Is Steam Pressed 



WOOL IS at its best when steam- 

 pressed, says Miss Helen Zwol- 

 anek. clothing specialist. University of 

 Illinois College of Agriculture. A 

 steam iron speeds the job and makes it 

 easier to do. but an ordinary iron can 

 be used satisfactorily. 



Use two press cloths, one of wool 

 material and the other of firm cotton or 

 linen. Old fabrics can be used to good 

 advantage, so take stock before you buy 

 new materials. 



Spread the wool press cloth over the 

 wrong side of the material you are 

 pressing. Over this lay the second cloth 

 — cotton or linen. Dampen the second

until you have pressed over the cloth. 

 After you have pressed over the ma-^ 

 terial, remove both press cloths. Beat 

 out the steam left in the wool, using the 

 palms of your hands. Do not press all 

 of the moisture out of the wool, or it 

 will become shiny and limp looking. 

 Hang the pressed garment carefully to 

 dry. Do not wear it until it is com- 

 pletely dry. 



Kendall County Women 

 Spend Delightful Day on 

 A Planned Tour of Chicago 



EIGHTY-SIX Kendall County Home 

 Bureau women spent a long but 

 delightful day in Chicago Oct. 18. 

 Their busses pulled up at the Board of 

 Trade at 10 a.m., for a complete tour 

 and explanation of the grain trading 

 facilities. 



Then they learned that the apparent 

 complexities of a huge banking institute 

 like the Continental Illinois National 

 Bank and Trust Company are only the 

 simple operations of their small home- 

 town banks multiplied many, many 

 times. 



After touring the Stevens Hotel, the 

 ladies decided their housekeeping prob- 

 lems are molehills compared to the 

 mountainous task of keeping the world's 

 largest hotel in livable order. 



The next stop was the lAA home 

 office, where they discussed current 

 agricultural problems with President 

 Charles B. Shuman. 



The party dined on smorgasbord at 

 Little Bit of Sweden, and climaxed the 

 day with the stage-musical "Kiss Me, 

 Kate." 



Miss Marbry Fay, the Home Bureau 

 adviser, and Roy Johnson, lAA director 

 of special services, planned the holiday 

 for the Kendall county women.
