U. S. Employment Bureau
and Y. W. Are Finding
Homes for Girls

The problem of securing safe
boarding homes and wholesome rec
reation for girls in industry has
assumed such dimensions in Phila-
delphia, that Mrs. E. S. Slater, ex-
aminer in charge of the United
States employment service in the
city has asked the east central field
of the Y. w. C. A., with headquar-
tiers in Philadelphia, for aid.
Permission was obtained from the
government to install Y. w. c. A.
secretary, designated as a case
worker" to do special work. Her
job is to find homes and amusement
for girls who are employed in the
city but have no connections there.
She is also prepared to render SINH
lar service for transients, as her
desk contains all possible items of
information concerning reliable
lodging houses and amusement ia
cilities. Her activities fill long felt
need of the employment service and
are the beginning of a helpful CO.
operation between the two agencies
in meeting the needs of women in
dustrial workers.
An oil cloth apron is an excellent
thing to wear while washing dishes.

tends to rise and seek outlet at the
top. Hence the air in our living
rooms and bedrooms is the air of
our cellars. This is no idle state
ment for it has been proved by ex-
pertinent that one-half of the cellar
air makes its way into the first
story, one-third into the second and
one-ffth into the third. This up
ward movement of house air is
further shown by the streaks on the
ceiling showing the lathes. Where
the ceiling is dark is between the
lathes for there the air has a freer
pull upward and deposits its dust as
it passes upward.
The moral would surely be, then,
to have the air of the cellar as pure
as it can possibly be. If the cellar
walls are not impervious in cities the
odors in the ground find their way
in and city ground may contain IL
Illuminating gas from leaking gas
pipes in the ground. Such gas is, of
course, actively injurious. The air
may become polluted in the cellar if
decaying fruits and vegetables are
not taken care of, and if there is
not good cellar ventilation. There
should be windows on opposite, not
adjacent, sides of the cellar, and
these windows should be easily &C
cessible. They should be opened a
part of the day even in severe
weather, and kept open in milder
weather as much as possible. There
is very practical reason for keep
ing the cellar free from dust, in that
the dust of the cellar will find its
way upward and cause just so much
more busting in the upper rooms. 1t
would seem more reasonable to
clean it out at the source.
Whitewashing the Cellar.
One authority on sanitation sug-
gests that the cellar be thoroughly
cleaned every spring and then
whitewashed with lime. That prac-
tice is not very common, but there
is good reason for it. Lime in itself
is a good disinfectant so that il
helps to free the cellar from any
bacteria; and the whitening of the
walls not only makes the cellar
lighter but unconsciously the owner
is stimulated to higher standards OF
cleanliness by its cleanly appear

Dandruf Surely
Destroys The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of
thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair,
do by all means get rid of dandruff,
for it will starve your hair and ruin
it if you don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out, The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this. get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gen.
tly with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not ali of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace of
Il.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. It
is inexpensive and four ounces is
all you viii need, no matter how
much dandruff you have. This SIM
pie remedy never fails.-Adv.

LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
On Dancing,

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: l

man or woman at first. but does 1t

Not necessarily. 1t depends en-
tirely upon the attitude of the

same as there is clean church-going
or anything else. Some of the hug
me-tight positions are cause for wor-
ry-not the rhythm of dancing.

PonuIar Meets Popular.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
We are two boy chums and we are
very popular in the town of G.
We love twins, who are very pop
ular with the other boys.
What can we do to make them
pay more attention to us?
Is it proper for one Of the twins
to come to my house to see me and
stay two days, as we are not en-
gagged yet?
Please print this in the next issue,
as we will leave this town soon.
How is my handwriting?
HARRY AND LEO.
It's indeed a happy occurrence
when popular meets popular, but
perchance it is best for you that they
do not pay overly much attention
to you. That is where they have
added wisdom to popularity-the Sc
cret of their prestige.
The twin would hardly come to
your home without the invitation of
your mother, and 1t is more a ques-
ton of individual choice than
propriety, Maybe, too-Mr. Harry
or Lee-she comes not only to see
you. She may like the rest of the
family, too, and they her.

HOUSEHOLD CENTRAL RIS3 SCHOOL j6H
Cellars

Few people realize just how much
of foundation OF house the eel
lar is. It is there, and that is all
that most of us think about it. A
Nebraska house without a cellar is
a rare sight but in certain parts of
the country houses are merely
raised on stills, leaving a free space
under the whole house. The reason
why we have cellars is closely
bound up with our heating appara-
tus. Where furnaces are a rarity,
the cellar is not so common.
1t is generally conceded that a
good cellar is a decided advantage
to house from the health stand
point; and that the cellar should ex-
tend under the whole house. The
fact that houses without cellars are
raised off the ground to allow cir
culation Of air underneath is an in
dication that this air space is a good
thing.
Essentials of Healthful House.
Wherever and whatever our
houses may be, they all should be
dry, light, and filled with pure air
The first and last of these points are
closely bound up with the cellar.
You can't have a dry house with a
damp cellar, and it is impossible to
have a dry cellar without a dry
house. We have gone past the stage
where we believed that dampness
caused specific diseases; but we
realize more than ever that disease
germs of all kinds flourish in damp
ness, and that dampness seems to
lower the power of the human body
to resist disease double reason
why it should be avoided.
The location of the house has a
good deal to do with the dampness
that is billy location, with good
sandy loan means excellent drain
age provided by nature. Unfortu-
nately in cities, and elsewhere, too,
we cannot all live on hilltops. We
cannot all choose sandy soil. But we
can assist nature by putting in arti-
fetal drains under the basement
floor and in the yard and by build
ing a good cement basement which
resists water to some extent.
Light in a basement will help in
keeping a basement dry, for the
moisture will evaporate more rapid
ly. The windows should not be OBJ
structed from without or within,
that they may be opened easily to
the outside air.
Pure Air in the Cellar.

Rubber bands and pieces of oiled
