BOHEMIA. Fl
 Eczera or salt rheum or ecald or letter is a skin inflammation, in which there is redness, discharge of matter. weeping or scaling, crust- ing, thickening and swelling of the skin; and always itching. perhaps slight, but generally intense A skin trouble that does not itch is not eczema. Eczema is not catching and when completely healed it leaves no scar; except when the scratching has been so severe-with dirty nails. per- the true skin. . All kinds of erup-; lions appear in eczema-just redness and heat. burning, tingling and irri- tation or blisters, papules, (pinhead sized) or pustules Opus blisters). Or, large areas of inflamed skin. The trouble may appear in any part of skin folds, the armpits or the bend of the elbow Gin front) or of the; back of the knee, or the creaSeS in, the neck, The popular form appears mostly on the trunk; the pustular= mostly on the head, face and neck of poorly or improperly nourished infants. Adults and elderly people Where s @0ts tSere Pg0ns is e2tenaSe cruating (generally in the legs,) which crust, when it comes off. exposes a most painful, raw, oozfng red surface Then there is Assured eczema, cracks resulting at the knuck1e joints, the mouth corners and the finger tips; this is frequent among those whose business requires them to be in in tense artificial heat or to have their hands constantly in water, and from using strong soaps and lye.
 In most cases there is predis- position, which makes the skin very susceptible to the action of external irTitantS, such as heat cold. excess sive use of water, strong soaps, dyes or chemicals. Or there is a favoring condition of the constitution, such as or nervous disturbances, exhaustion, or tendency to gout or rheuma- tism We can not say that eczema is hereditary; but the children of eczematous parents certainly come easily by attacks of this disease
 There are hundreds of skin diseases of which the two most fre- quent are eczema and syphilis. Eczema invariably itches; syphilis almost never does. Other skin troubles that may be mistaken for eczema are erydpelas, the shingles bers' itch, scabdes and favus Ca scalp trouble that shows powdery, canary cofUred- cup-shaped cruSts and mouse-like smell.

MEN'S CLOTHING
 INDUSTRY COULD
 SAVE $240,O00,0O0

New York, Sept. 30.-Annua1 say ings of 40 per cent. or about $240,- 000,08O, could be made in the mems ready made clothing industry, with clared a report by the American En- gineering Councils committee on elimination of waste in industry,made public today. The report, based on a national Investigation of the indus try, asserted that management and labor alike were responsible for the enormous waste.
 Seasonal shutdowns, industrial dis order, the "selI-then-make" policy, the lack of standardization of appli- anceS, conditions, work content and method, and inefficient planning: were given as the chief sources of waste.
 .erhe most fundamental cause of waste'' it was added. "Is the tradi- tiona1, fear inspired. order enticing sales policy which expresses itself in wide variety and it's attendant make to-order basis of manufacturing" the committee, is that each manufac- turer limit the number of models and clothes styles, bridge the slack sea- sons by manufacturing for stock, and adopt vigorous, positive selling meth ods, backed up by effective national advertising.
 Excessive variety in styles is largely responsible for seasonab1e employ ment, continued the report, dhuii s that study of sales statistics indicated that neither the consuming public nor the dealres really demand such excess Sive variety.
 Industrial discord was said to have grown chiefly out of recurring season. al employment, although the work CTS also were said to retain vivid memories of the mere wage pittances they received in their former years of sweatshop lexp1oftation:"
 sSTbe rekult" said the report, mas been a rapid unionization of the in- duStry."
 wooIen mills were charged with a widespread tendency to trade and even to gamble in cloth, the whole process of purchase and delivery of woolens being described as conducted lon a basis which many other in- dustries abandoned long ago."

ACTION ON new JAIL
IS TAKEN At METUCHEN

METUCHEN, Fen. 1.-THE ques-
ton of the location of the new Jail
to be erected in this place is about
settled. 1t is the present intention
to build the Jail behind the borough
hall, where 1t will be close to police
headquarters. 1t was suggested that
it be erected nea Hahn's store, but
his being a place not near the head
quarters it was decided that this site
was suitable.
There is also some comment as to
the pay of the non-patroling mar
shals. They at present receive SO for
a nights duty aud have asked for
an increase to 81.
No action has been taken by the
borough council in increasing the
pay of the men who assist the regu-
lar force. but an increase for the
chief and the %patroling marshals
has been provided for in an ordi-
nance introduced at the last meeting
of the council.
The fact that the non-patroling
marshals have to perform the same
duties as the regular men while on
duty and that they are subject to
call at any time makes their argu-
ment for an increase stronger. Just
what steps will be taken in this
matter is not known, but 1t is en-
pected that the non-patroling mar
shals will appeal to the council for
an increase. as they did some time
ago

CIVIC LEAGUE
PRESSES CASE
Public Service Commissioner
DonneIIy is Favorably I'M
pressed on R.R. Fare Raise
By speclal correspondent.

BY Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, Feb. 15:-Public
Service Commissioner Donnelly went
away from Staten Island last night
favorably impressed with regard TO
what the Staten Island Civic League
and representative citizens of the
borough of Richmond think of the
raise In fare on the lines of the
Staten Island Rapid Transit Rail-
road Company.
Commissioner Donnelly said that
he did not come to Staten Island to
discuss the matter. but to hear both
sides of the controversy. He said
that he would like to hear those in
favor and those against the PROPOSE
ton. General Manager Voorhees, of
the Staten Island Rapid Transit, who
was practically the only one who
spoke in favor of the raise. said he
had come there to listen and to hear
Mothers views on the subject.
Mr.. Voorhees, said the courts had
already allowed the raise and that
1t had been put in effect accordingly.
When the opposition had been
given the floor to talk on the matter
many from all parts of the island
spoke. Those from here that spoke
against the raise were James Laing
and Stuart L. Ritz of T%ottenville,
dHd WliildIH ". Iorler VI ITlncc
Bay. Others from the Various Sec
tions of the island were Thomas
Curley, assistant corporation coun-
sci; Abram Greenwald, of New
Brighton; William Welsh, of the
Richmond Gas Company, and
Charles Durkee, of Grasmere.
Mr.. Durkee caused considerable
laughter when speaking of the
trains on the Tottenville division
coming up the Grasmere hill. He
said that the trains coming up the
hill reminded him of a man with the
asthma coming upstairs. One can
hear the locomotive for some dis
lance putting away and when it gets
TO the top of the hill it seems as if
its last breath was about gone.
Each of the speakers in turn ar
raigned the railroad bitterly with
some of the cars they said to be
more than a half century old now
running on the line.
William Writ Mills, who as acting
president called the meeting to Or
der, at the close produced a bulletin
in which the railroad company had
advertised the sale of stock in 1918
and 1919 for from 6 to 20 per cen
This was to show that the railroad
was operating on a profit and not a
loss as had been stated by officials
at the recent hearing before the
public service commission. Francis
Lemau, q well known Staten Island
lawyer, who has always taken an
active part in the affairs of the
league, was chosen as the new pres
.fdent of the league. He presided
throughout the discussion, Commits
Psioner Donnelly before he left the
meeting said that he would hold one
of the hearings on Staten Island to
give the people here a chance to ex-
press themselves with regard to the
raise,
