with a total of s5.l73.2o0 expended
in Washington on building construc-
ton during November, the National

November this year showed
marked improvement over the eleV-
enth month of 1924 in building per-
rnits issued and plans filed. A loss
of 13 per cent last year was this year
turned into a gain of 70 per cent. 4o2

this was the highest of number of

the gain in November was not as
sisted by the greater number of places
recording their building permits, as
the increase in the % leading cities
was 80 per cent.

parently again transferred to the
larger centers of population. Every
region of the country. except the Pa
cific West, showed a gain over No
Tember, 1924. the South leading the
regions; with an increase of % per
cent. The East had a 40 per cent
gain and the Central West 10 per

total of permits recorded in this sur
vey for the eleven months this year

that December will record even as

tire country will, as Mr.. s. w. StrauS

BEAUTY CHATS
Hangnails.

II you keep your hands very nicely
indeed you'll never have hangnails.
But only a very few people will take
the time or the trouble to keep their
nails absolutely perfect. The rest, at
various times, are going to have little
hard bits of skin crop up which
they'll work at and dig at, and per-
haps bite off, and then have a fever
ish finger for "a hours. .-q.
Hangnails are nothing but hardened
bits of skin, which. owing to their
dryness and hardness, break away
from the live skin. Like sore place
in the mouth, you can't help worrying &
at them. You should cut them off as
soon as they appear. and if you are
out of doors and can't get at a pair
of cuticle scissors, put on gloves, so
you won't be worried by them. This
is because the temptation to bite at
them is strong, and because, If you
do. you may make your whole finger
hot and sore for hours.
Keep the skin around the nails well
oiled if you want to avoid these an
noying troubles. Every night is not
too often to rub cold cream or some
emollient into the nails. Drying
liquids and powders should be avoid
ed in manicuring. though if they
Zust be used (bleaches are drying)
they should be washed off and cream
rubbed on afterward to counteract
their effect
Housework dries the hands so that
