"They Wrinkles, In ; Stockings Yes, we often see them--~they are not pretty things. But it is not this sort of wrinkle of which the head- line treats. That headline is tinged with slang, and the wrinkle it is driving at, is the sure way to save silk stockings, or, indeed, any other kind if silk undreolthing. Wash them out of clear water every night --it is the perspiration from the feet that rots the silk, the experts say. Then about once a week, give them a washing in warm suds, rinsing well. Always remember to hang your stockings up by the feet. Every little thing helps to wear them away (on the principle that constant rub- bing will wear away stone) and the weight of the water, as it filters down the legs and out through the toe--for, of course, we know enough not to wring, but only to squeeze any silk garment---has its effect on the foot of the stocking. All this ap- plies to the silk shirt. Never wear it twice without putting it through clear water and then giving it a sudsing about once a week.

The tax sale which will be opened on Monday is the ex- Although the second tax instalment for this year is not yet time last year when tax collections When one considers that the city of Oshawa seldom col- lections are well ahead of what might be called the tax collection schedule, But whatever the collection of pre- sent accounts may be, the city must realize on old unpaid accounts and it is to collect these that the tax sale is being held. There is a lot of oppres- sive details which must be carried out ---- ad now is complete and the machinery hy which delinquent ratepayers are forced to make amends is about to be put in motion. It is essential, for one thing, should have been properly described on previous tax bills, that the sale should have been advertised for a cer tain length of time and at a definite number of days before the date oi the sale. Owners must have heen no- tified when the assessor last presentea his assessment form that the land was liable to be sold for taxes, The advertising of the tax sale has had good effects. Some forty of the delinquents have appeared at the city treasurer's office and paid the amounts due. But probably the greatest accel eration in remitting has been noted in those who fear that their property would soon be offered for sale it pay ment were not made at once. Indica- tive of this effect is the fact that dur ing the present year $40,000 in 1926 arrear and $32000 of previous years arrears have been collected. Undoubt- edly a large percentage of these a+ mounts would have been paid anyway, but nevertheless there is the feeling among those 'who know the situatios that the tax sale has had a stimulat- 1g effect on tax collections. Prior to 1923 there was a no incon siderable amount owing the town of Oshawa in taxes but in that year ali arrears were put on the tax bills and the pleasing result was the collection of almost all outstanding accounts. There is objection to such procedure and accordingly the sale method is now being used. The sale though starting on Monday moming will not finish until the parcels have all been dealt with and that will likely take three days. Included in the list of lands offered are some of value and obviously there are many which are of little use for ordinary purposes. Most of the property listed is situated in the south-east section of the city. In connection with this year's col- lections some interesting figures are [ available. There is a total of approx- aately $643000 collectable in income and property taxes this year of which sixty per cent. is alreaay in the cy At the end of December last, still unpaid. Io date §40000 of this amount has been collected. At the present time there are $95000 in total arrears owing the city of Oshawa, some $35000 of which represents unpaid taxes of the two years previous to 19260.
