DO YOU KNOW THESE? t — SOME USEFUL HINTS. Removing Snap Fasteners. In removing snap fasteners from worn-out garments, if they are snapped together, much time may be saved when one is needed to replace a missing one; for who has not tried hopelessly to find mates among a box of such things as one expects to use again. Keep Rugs From Slipping. To prevent scatter rugs from slipping on hardwood floors, sew discarded jar rubbers to the underside of the rugs. Usually three rings at each end, set back from the edge about one inch, are sufficient. A Crack Filler. Use laundry soap that is fresh as a crack filler for plastered walls and ceilings, also as a crack filler for floors to be varnished or shellacked. It Should Stretch. If the elastic in your new slipper refuses to stretch enough to give comfort try moistening it with gasoline or similar cleaning fluid.
