Business Better

Britain's return to the gold standard
While it was too early to expect
any tangible results of England's
policy to appear. economists asserted
there could be little doubt of the
ultimate favorable effects of having
$50, 600 10000 out of a total world
trade of $45, 100000 placed safely on
a gold basis.
Some fears were expressed that
Britain would find it difficult to
maintain the gold standard in the
face of last years adverse trade bal
ance of almost billion and a half
dollars, but financial authorities be-
lieve that sound currency in itself
would act as a strong corrective of
an unfavorable trade balance.
The domestic trade picture last
week was spotted with contrasting
areas of improvement and reaction.
The predominant note in the basis
industries was one of unsettlement.
due to the backward tendency OF
prices and the failure of a seasonal
revival in business to develop.
The slackening pace of operations
was perhaps most pronounced in the
steel industry, with the mills work.

though the United States Steel Cor
poration announced reduction OF
416,996 tons in untitled orders at the
end of April, Chairman E. H. Gary,
after an inspection trip of the COM
panys properties, said he found
many of them in full swing. Tenn
porary recessions, he added, were
not at all surprising and general
business throughout the country
was strong, healthy and vigorous

tinue.

less favorable March earnings state

last year. The most encouraging
features of the railroad outlook were
the prospects for progress in merger
developments.
Gasoline prices were lowered In
New York City and several other
points in the east following several

tools in good condition to give the
best service. The principal needs
are a vacuum cleaner, radiator
brush. long handled, soft bristled
brush for the walls and ceilings,
furniture polish, plenty of clean
dust cloths, bottle Of disinfectant
and a sponge. Also, two enameled
ware pails-one for scrubbing and
one for rinsing-which are easily
cleaned after the days use. With
this equipment the housewife is
well prepared for this important
period which will bring that health
and cheer to her family which
comes from a clean and sanitary
home.
With the proper tools assembled
it is best to proceed in this way:
r move draperies, curtains,
shades. pictures and rug. Clean
and leave them in another room or
in the same room covered up. Move
the furniture out of the room or to
the middle of the room and cover
with an old sheet. Brush the "a.
diators thoroughly and cover them.
Brush the ceilings and walls and
clean the woodwork and floors.
Them wash the, windows, lay the
rug, polish and replace the furni-
ture. Last Of all, hang the pictures,
shades and summer curtains.
Most women will admit that
when the kitchen and pantry are
cleaned they feel that the worst part
Of the housekeeping is over. It
therefore seems advisable to get
these done first.
After the closets are cleaned the
chairs and table can be washed of
and moved to an adjoining room.
The walls and ceilings can be wiped
OF with a long handled brush now

he came to Maine only a few months
before the Glass of 1926.
After the chapel exercises, the SEN
Tor Skulls, honorary non scholastic
society. tapped their pledges from

Chicago. May 10.-(AP)-Tests Of
radiocasting from an airplane, which
were made for the first time without
the use of generator at the Great
Lakes naval training station near here
today, brought response from several
stations but were pronounced unsatis-

The radio signals were sent on
wave length of 81 meters from the
plane.
The equipment used was the first
model of the transmitted planned for
use on the Macmillan Polar expedition

used in operating the equipment have
been driven wind through the propel-

II the draperies are to be put
away for the winter and are soiled
and not the washable kind, they
should be sent away and dry clean
ed before they are packed. And
II the extra blankets are not soiled
enough to need washing, or dry
cleaning. they should be hung in
the sun and well aired before they
are bundled up with camphor or in

In cleaning bedrooms special
care should be given to mattresses
and pillows. The use Of the vacuum
cleaner repeatedly throughout the
year makes this care simple. Al
though the mattress may be free
from dust, it is desirable during
this special cleaning time to sun
and air it, together with the pill.
