Dear Mrs. Thompson: Can you
tell me anything that win keep tho
keys on n piano from turning yellow?
I am troubled with moles on my
face and hands. Can you tell me
anything that will take them off and
keep more from coming on?
THANK YOU.
Keep the keyboard Of the piano un-
covered so that the keys are in the
light. This more than anything else
keeps them from getting yellow. When
you wash the keys use damp cloth.
When the cloth is wet there is danger
of getting water beween the keys.
The only safe way to remove moles
is with the electric needle. Have
your physician advise you where tn
have this done. The moles will not
reappear in the same plac.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: My gentle
man friend works here, but his home
is in another state. I would like to
have him with us on Christmas day.
Would it be all right for my mother
to invite him for that occasion? IS
he comes, what should give him for
other for four months and have been
together about three times week
during that time. II. ID. j..
1t will be all right for your mother
to invite the young man TO your homo

place, I would not give him any pres
ent. If you do. however. choose a
book or something simple and ine;s-
pensive.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: My litts
girl, who is years old. has thin hair
and It falls out in quantities. Do You
think It would grow any faster If L
have It bobbed? She wants 1t bobbeu,
but think the hair is so ugly when
it starts to grow long. What would
you advise? MRS. c.
If you have yoar child's hair bobbed
and treat the scalp with a good hair
tonic, the hair will stop falling and
the growth will increase. Do not stop
at one bobbing. Have the hair bobbed
for a year or two and you will see
marked Improvement.

Force in the form of a strike is no
more appropriate as a method of set
thing disputes than is force in the form
OF physical violence. The Cummins
bill proposes a better remedy. 1t pro-
vides for establishment of committees
on wage adjustments with authority to
take testimony and adjudicate contro-
versies, thus arriving at a fair judg-
1nent as between the employees and the
public. Every railway wage contro-
versy is in reality between the en-
ployes and the public for in the final
analysis the public pays the wage.

An item appearing in Forbes Maya
zine is illustrative of conditions gener-
ally and might be applied to almost
any city in this country. 1t follows:
Arbitration of a wage controversy in
a small industrial city resulted in each
worker receiving a substantial sum
representing an increase dated from
the time the negotiations were started.
And what happened? There was one
grand rush to stores selling pianos,
Photographs. wrist and other watches,
brooches, scarf pins and other jewelry,
fancy furniture. motorcycles, furs,
lSnick-knacks and jimcraclSs Of all de-
scriptions. Most of the stores were
cleaned out. The amount placed In
savings banks was small compared
with what was spent on luxuries. The
merchants themselves were astounded
at the overwhelming preference shown
for high priced things and the rela-
lively small demand for good, solid
necessaries. This incident gives cor
rect picture of the attitude Of the ma
1ority OF well-paid workers today.
