THE RUNNING SORE EAR

If a bug crawled into your ear
would you plug it with cotton to get
the bug out? Certainly not Then
why plug the running sore ear? 1t
might be all right if the cotton were
removed as soon as it became soiled;
but 1t is usually kept in the ear until
it becomes dirty plug that prevents
the pus from running out. We often
treat boil the same way-after it
has broken we apply cotton which
prevents it from running"
Many seem to think that unless we
plug the ears We will catch cold in
them. That is as effective as locking
the stable after the horse has been
stolen.
Plainly, running ear should be
permitted to discharge as fast as the
secretions gather. Nothing should
interfere with the pus getting out, or
it will we'll up in the ear tissues and
soak back into the bones and ear cav
aties, where 1t will remain as IN a
sponge.
Sometimes we are indiscreet
enough to pour sweet-oil into the ear.
In short time the oil becomes ran
cid and forms plug worse than cot
ton-one that can't be pulled out Of
the ear. Physicians do not now use
gauze dressings in the ears as often
as they formerly did because patients
will not remove them when they
should.
Nor should we interfere with the
drainage of running ear by lying on
the other side, for this holds the pus
in the ear as in cup, forcing it into
the cavaties behind the ear, where it
is difficult to remove.
One who has running ear should
lie with that ear open and lowered;

Whitewash now! Spring reminds
the home-owner to clean up and
paint up. Whitewash does this job
effectively and economically. 1t fits
into the spring program which in
cludes everything from the familiar
rug beating tasks imposed upon re-
luctant husbands and small boys to
the aching backs caused by spading
the 1926 edition of the backyard
garden.
Neglecting exposed surfaces is
"penny-wise and pound foolish" A
few cents may be saved at the time,
but repairs made necessary by this
saving will soon cost dollars. White
wash improves appearance, is an
excellent preservative, brightens the
cellar, the cottage, the shed, and the
barn, and protects trees against
worms and insect pests. 1t can be
prepared easily and applied effective
ly by amateurs.
Two simple formulas are widely
used for general utility work, one
being designed for exterior and the
second for interior work. For sheds,
tree trunks, stables, fences, etc, dis
solve Is pounds Of common salt In
about IN gallons of water. To this
solution add so pounds Il sack) Of
hydrated lime, or the putty made by
carefully shaking one-half bushel of
fresh quicklime. Mix thoroughly I'M
til thick smooth paste is formed.
Thin to desired consistency with
fresh water.
For interior work, the following is
popular: Dissolve 3 pounds of glue
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1926-05-14

in about 2 gallons of water Make a
thick cream Of water, or carefully
Stake to soft putty one-half bushel
Of quickIime. Add the glue solution
to the lime, stirring constantly. Thin
to desired consistency.
Thin applications work best. Make
the mixture thin enough so that the
surface may be seen through the film
while it Is wet. The coating will dry
Opaque. Best results are obtained
when the dork Is done in clear, dry
weather.
By adding quart Of crude car
bolic acid to either Of the above
mixtures, mild disinfectant and in.
secticidal properties are added to the
whitewash.
Clean all dirt, scales or other loose
material from the surface to be
treated. Dampen the surface before
applying the fresh coat SO that the
wash will dry gradually, otherwise a
chalky job is likely to result.

There is the poppy-naker beside

or" courageously in the battles of

The Buddy Poppy label which is on
every flower used in the V. F. w.
Sale has been formally registered by
the Veterans of Foreign Wars in
order to prevent any infringement
upon it and guarantee to the public
the actual manufacture of the pop
pies by disabled and needy ex-service
men, Buddy Poppy" is the name
the men themselves selected.
The entire proceeds from the sale
of Buddy Poppies are devoted to re-
lief of war-disab1ed and to alleviate
conditions of distress among ex-
service men and their families occa-
stoned by sickness or unemployment.
The Sale annually carries the en-
dorsement of President Coolidge, OUT
standing religious leaders, the General
Federation of Women's Clubs, and
other individuals and organizations of
national prominence. William Green,
President of the American Federation
of Labor, has officially signifed his

<<~ARRYING ON" That is the
keynote of the spirit in which
throughout the United States
disabled and needy ex-service men,
crippled heroes of Chateau Thierry
and the Argonne, of St. Mihiel and
Verdun. are working these days to
make the thousands of scarlet Buddy
Peoples for countrywide use in the
sixth annual national Poppy Sale of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars during
the week of Memorial Day.
Many Of the poppy makers who
Garry on" so cheerfully are under
hospital treatment. Among them also
are men who cannot be rehabilitated
by the Veterans Bureau because their
disability was not contemplated by the
War Risk and Vocational Training
laws when passed and who are desig-
mated by the government as mon
feasible To these men in particu-
lar the poppy making not only offers
means of livelihood which the ma
jority,, because of their condition,
would be helpless to earn in their
former occupations but in addition
helps to renew their self-confdence
and rebuild their morale.
Among the most active of the war
disabled workers are the patients in
U. S. Veterans Hospital No. 81, who
under the direction of the Occupa-
tional Therapy Department of the
Hospital are actively doing their bit
to put the Buddy Poppy quota "over
the top" Other Buddy Poppies for
the New York Sale are being made
in specially equipped oppy-factory
workrooms. In other states Buddy
Peoples are similarly made.

nothing should be thrust into it; the
secretions should be permitted to

With the general dependability of
the automobile engine in any of the
various price classes, and the contin.
ued effor toward an appearance of
speed and grace in body lines, there
remains little to improve upon, in a
radical way, in the present day motor
cars-except their exterior and in
terror finish, says Capt II. Ledyard
Towle, Duco color expert. The grad
ual addition of dash clocks, cigar
lighters, smoking and vanity sets, to
the normal interior equipment of the
large production" sedan or brougham
is simply temporary solution of a
very important sales problem.
Color, inside and out, has been
slowly but surely creeping into the
automobile industry-and the wise
manufacturers to whom black or dark
blue was once safe, sane and sensi-
BILE, are now boldly stepping forward
to leading positions in the new era
Of color harmonies.
Recent automobile salons through
out the country were added indica-
lions that the automobile can be
made to take on the colors of the
rainbow and yet remain dignified and
beautiful.
Color with reference to the auto
mobile and its sales appeal should be
divided into three broad classes-its
relation to the body lines Of the car,
it's relation to the country-wid sales
appeal, and it's relation to the fash
ions and moods of the moment.
The juxtaposition of one color to
another on car is of the utmost i'm
portance. 1t may be desirable to

NHE close of 1925 marks the fiftl
L year Of the British shipping de
preston, according to report to the
Department of Commerce from the of
flee Of the American Commercial AT
tache in London.
Looking directly at shipping condi
tons, with thousands of net register
ed tons of shipping laid up, and few
of the ships now in commission earn
ing sufficient to cover working ex
penses, the outlook for British ship
ping for 1926 does not appear hope
full, the Department of Commerce has
been advised.
A fact that points to further uncer
tainty is that on May 1, 1926, the coal
subsidy ends. No shipowner is able
to see past this date, and, in fact the
whole country is in the dark as tC
what conditions will be after May /
1t is the consensus of opinion thai
three main factors caused the 1925
depression: The increase in worlds
tonnage, the drop in British coal ex
ports; and erratic grain shipments
Lesser causes were: The fall in iron
and steel exports; the unofficial ship.
ping strike; and the operation of ton
mage at loss.
Steam and motor tonnage has in.
creased 1921 900 tons since 1924
and approximately 100000 tons of
new shipping are estimated to be un-
der construction according to Lloyd's
Register. On this basis, Mr. r. w.
Johnson editor of 1.-THE Compen-
dunn" believes there is about 3S per
cent more tonnage afloat than in 1914
competing for 10 to Is per cent less
cargo than was available in the ear
lier year. Such condition naturally
reacts unfavorably on the freight mar
ket, and the early disruption of out
ward coal and homeward grain ship
ments caused complete collapse by
the middle of the year.
On April /, 1925, 312 vessels with
net tonnage of $4,000 were laid up.
On July /, 430 vessels aggregating
777179 net tons were idle. To bring
about this condition, certain factors
operating adversely upon shipping
caused the layup of homeward- bound
vessels.
Outward freights from the United
Kingdom depend more upon coal than
any other commodity. During 1925.
in fact, freights on outward coal and
homeward grain have tended to react
ON each other more than ever before
The British coal situation has been
unsatisfactory to both exporter and
owner, in view Of the keen competi-
ton OF Germany, the increased pro-
duction OF the French mines, now on
par with the prewar output, and the
invasion of the Mediterranean and
French markets by Russian coal from

! the Donetz Basin. AS result Of this
competition, number of collieries In
South Wales, Northeastern, and Scot
fish districts closed down.
The small and medium-sized car
riers have been deprived of large
proportion 70 the employment offered
by the coal trade, and the competition
for the limited cargo caused rates to
decline to new postwar records, many
being under the levels ruling in 1913.
Grain shipments to the United
Kingdom have contributed even more
than coal towards the severe depres-
sion. Early in the year the high price
of American and Canadian grain
caused a check in European buying.
This resulted in downward move
ment OF rates during the summer,
and considerable amount Of tonnage
sailed for the River Plate in antici-
patton of the grain season there The
harvest in Argentina proved smaller
than in 1924, SO that shippers held
out for price advances, which Eu-
rope would not pay, so once again
homeward rates suffered.
Australia has been the exception,
with freights ruling firm, due to
large quantities of grain available for
shipment to Europe. This has neces-
STATED heavy ballast sailings from
the United Kingdom, and according
to the Daily Freight Register" at a
time when there was a keen demand
for freight space In the North Pa
cifc.
Although the South African corn
crop was satisfactory the unofficial
shipping strike which was declared
soon after the season commenced
caused a disruption of business for
British shipping British owners
losses were heavy. and the Australian
grain movement was handicapped
Some improvement occurred in other
markets, such as Cuban sugar, and
nitrates, but even here the surplus
tonnage diverted from the River Plate
tended to force rates down. Nearly
all other homeward freights were dull
for the most part, with gradual i'm
provement toward the close of the
year. Pit props and pit wood freights
were exceedingly dull on account Of
the depressed coal trade. Oil ship
ments suffered as a result Of increas-
ed tanker tonnage. The depressed
state of the iron and steel trade caus-
ed falling off in outward shipments,
as did the depressed textile ship
ments.
AS stated before, the future pros
poets for British shipping are proble-
NAUTICAL. A decided improvement in
the grain trade Of the country and a
solution of the coal difficulties how
ever will do much towards causing a
rift in the cloud Of uncertainty which
at present overshadows the industry.

make the model appear longer or
bigger all over, or very rich in ap-
pearance. To achieve any Of these
things is problem and should be
approached most carefully.
An analysis of the types of buyer
for each particular model is also i'm
portant. The sedan with it's family
appeal; the brougham for households
which demand an additional touch of
style; the coach for those who prefer
large enclosed car at less expense;
the coupe for business, or as 1t Of
times the case, the young married
couples first car; the touring for the
summer explorer and the family pic
nicker; and the roadster which has
the appeal Of dashing romance, a
flash along moonlit roads-a dash of
color at the country club.
OF all the thousands of colors and
tones which can be had, 1t Is the
color of the moment which should be
used in planning the scheme for the
new model. And how can this color
be determined?
BY close study of the fashions,
the silks and other materials which
come to the famous silk houses Of
this country six months in advance
of their being shown to the public.
This allows plenty of time for the
manufacturers to reproduce their
most beautiful and fitting colors on
their new cars. Women's fashions
for next fall and winter are now in
the making. New automobile manu-
facturers can not only keep abreast
of the times but actually be ahead
Of them.
