DURING the active war work the
Il military authorities were con-
tinuzIiy calling for men skilled in the
various trades. This brought home to
Us another lesson OF the serious need
OF vocational training. The govern
ment appreciated this need when The
smith-Hughes Act was passed pro-
viding for part payment Of al teach
ers engaged in strictly vocational
work The e Paso board Of a1uca-
ton wisely equipped manual training
and machine shop departments and
me schools are offering excellent
courses In shop practice. But much is
yet to be done II we mean to reach
the standard set by other cities whose
IDEALS and aspirations are no higher
than our own
In some cases new courses Of study
are to be added and old ones revised
TO meet the demands OF practical
training. IN order to come up to the
standard set by the Smith Hughes
act whereby We viii receive govern
ment aid We must add to our courses
OF instruction classes in vocational
arithmetic, vocational science, voca-
tional English, vocational business
guidance o. business administration
and in addition to these strictly voca-
ttonal courses viii be added other as
ISOLATED courses such as civics, eco
Monies, commercial geography, com
mercial law, agricultural, and various
other courses as conditions warrant
Some Of these courses are new and

make the matter clear as to Just what

hands undried after having them in

If your hands are deeply soiied.
don't scrub them vigorously with
soap and water. as this will only chafeI

and immersing the hands in It for a
few minutes.
Simple Aids
Every woman who does her own
housework should keep within con-
venient reach in the kitchen a small
stick of cocoa butter. It costs onlv
a few cents, but If you rub it into the
hands several times a day after hay-
ing performed some rough work in
which the hands were long immersed
In water, the cocoa butter will supply
to your dried hands the additional oil
which is needed to keep them soft
and pliable.
For the hands that require moro
thorough treatment 1t is a good plan
to make a special paste, to rub It
into the hands at night and then to
gloves. A simple mixture is the fol.

n ounce of cocoa butter
u ounce of almond or olive oil
II ounce Of curd soap
n ounce of glycerine

Of orange flower or some favorite

this season for good stock and con-
sumers should not hesitate to ask
their dealers for special prices on
canning quantities.
Peppers are a crop apparently not
appreciated by the consuming public
at present. There are many ways
in which this nutritious vegetable can
be prepared and its food value is en-
dorsed by dietitians.
Fancy sweet corn is finding a steady
sale at $2-2.25 hundred, with Golden
Bantam bringing top prices. Poorer
grades Of corn were selling at $3.50
200, according to quality. No. 2
grade could be bought at 75c a sack
wholesale.
Summer squash is selling freely at
$3.50 a barrel or SOC dozen This
product cleans up daily at the prevail
ing figures.
The potatao market is strong with
sales on barrels at $5.25 and bushels

it is on these subscriptions the asso-

Here, also, prevention is better than
cure, for with a little attention, what
might be called 1.-The homework
hand" can be avoided. The hardness
and the roughness characteristic of
neglected hands con Is not from too
much homework, but from too little
care of the hands that perform all
sorts Of manual labor about the house.
Chief of these careless habits is the
soda habit"
1t is true that soda is an excellent
cleanser for many household pur-
poses, but there is no reason why it
should be used for every cleansing
purpose in the household. from dish
washing to floor scrubbing.
Homework Not Harmful
OF course, occasional immersion of
the hands into the necessary tub of
soda diluted water will not harm, If
it Is followed by a generous massage
Of the hand with a good ointment
kept for the purpose. But avoid the
soda water whenever you can if you
wish to prevent premature roughness
and redness.
