If present projects are executed in the

And likewise will the drainage prob

regard. That it will be done is assured
by the record Of the past.
Naturally, in a population of more
than a million illiterates, which was
the situation in Porto Rico when the
educational and sanitary works of the
American civil administration began,
there were many superstitions which
worked against intelligent corrective
forces. The people were given to
cloudy notions, which hampered the
doctors and the administrators But
they have yielded much more readily
than was feared when the campaign
was launched.
Some of these superstitions prevail
to this day, though not to a degree of
obstruction. Some of them are fan
tastic. For instance. 1t is q fixed

"To my mind white Collars
is the best and most human
show / have seen in a long
time" says Colonel Paul Hem
derson, Assistant Postmaster
General. Crank Egan has
produced a play that ideally
represents an everyday Ameri-
can family, people with types
we all like for their honesty Of
intent. The white collar boy
is particularly an object of
tender sympathy"
Senator Andreius Jones of
Washington calls the play one
of the finest he has seen in
a long time. "The public is
fed up on exotics and gaudy
revues." White Collars is

Grace Georges new play
"She Had To Know" has caught
on in New, York. Reviewers
are one in saying she has had
nothing quite so good in five
years. To the last man of us,
we will be glad if this Georgian
effort runs on until Bruce Nc
Rae has to fold up his gray
beard to avoid stepping on it.
Miss George is my favorite
and biggest Big Sister of a
large family of favorites. She
has had some unpopular plays
but / don't recall that she ever
had a shoddy one or a care
less one. Such plays as she
borrows from Latin folk, she
adapts and into those adapta-
tions she puts something Of her
self that endows her own role
with more than meets the casual
eye. A Grace George produc-
ton is never tossed on the
stage. Whether, basically, it is
good or bad as manuscript, it
is never a collection of spare
parts as a production. When
the curtain ascends on piece
graced by la George, you see
before you the product of
months Of painstaking thought
and attention and unless you
know something of Miss
Georges fetish for correctness
and precision, you can't know
just how lavishly tbs care and
attention has been spent.e

Marx, ARRIVING from Alsace-

proved to be a cousin of the
victim after being run down

a true story except for a few
details:
''TO begin with, my father
didn't come from Alsace-I.Or-

the House of Marx is one to be

To i commercial laundry, the
mounting costs Of laundry work
during the summer months make
it necessary In many homes to
eliminate as much as possible.
when jerseys are laid aside,
blouses soil more quickly, linens
and cottons soil more quickly than
fIannels. the greater outdoor life
of sunnrner causes more soiled
clothes than the more or less In

The following suggestions are
offered as means Of cutting dovsa
the summer laundry lists.
Use crepe materials for much
personal underwear. holsedress
children's dresses and rompers.
This requires little or no ironing.
Use Turkish towels only IN nand,
face and bath sizes. Knit goods
do not need ironing.
Discard long aII-over white table,
cloths and simplify table service.
Use separate doiliHs Of crash Or
1 fowelfng, or small colored dOiltsa
OF oriental Or foreign type, or the
more recent cOlored linen cloths.
paper napkins D may be used
( frequently, especially for children
during the fruit season. Paper
cloths may be used for picnic or
porch Iuncheons. Paper hand
towels in kitchen and lavatorN
save much laundry.
Putting each member Of the
family on an allowance basis Tor
wash cloths, napkinss towels, ETC..
will do much to develop careful
ness on the part OF the users.
Beruffled, belaced articles in
childre1l's clothing may well Be
eliminated from children's wear.
Hanging up clothing on proper
hangers and stretchere after use
helps to keep II clean longer by
avoiding crushing.
