HOME LIBRARY PLAYS
BIG PART IN COMFORT
Room Is Family Center and Should
Offer Host of
Attractions.

The library in a home is usually the
room to which members of the family
go when they wish to enjoy solid COM
fort. 1t should be one of the most
comfortably furnished rooms in the
house. Easy chairs should be avail
able for those who frequent this part
-ef the home.
OF course, one expects to find books
in a library, and this means that
there must be space provided where
they can be kept. Bookcases should
1t is just as easy to build them in
this way.
The bookcases should also be ar
ranged so that the books will be easily
get-at-able. Nobody wants to have
to climb up on chair and reach for
books. Then, one should provide book
cases for more books than the owner
of the house has to begin with. A
library of books ought to grow and
usually does.
It is desirable to keep the books in
such places as will protect them from
dust and dirt, for it does not take
long to practically ruin good books If
they are not given such protection.
Glass doors in front of book shelves
wiz solve this problem and at the
same time enable one to read the
titles Of the books.
A fireplace is always an attractive
feature of a library. There is nothing
so pleasant as a good book and a COM
Portable chair before an open fireplace.
Then the space on each side of the
fireplace is usually available for book
shelves and enables one to utilize the
space in the room to the best pos
sible advantage.
Perhaps the primary requisite for a
library is good lighting, for 1t is very
difficult to really enjoy book if the
lighting is poor. This calls for plenty
of window space for day reading and
an ample supply of lighting fixtures
for every use.
The library should be the coziest
room in the house.

Z0NING CALLED HELPFUL.
Reports Say Blighting of Districts
Has Been Avoided.

Reports indicate that coming ordi-
nances have been helpful in cities
throughout the country in avoiding
the blighting of districts and the un-
necessary scrapping of buildings and
cost y public utilities that are still
serviceable.
The razing of a single block of
dwellings and the scrapping of utility
connections unsuited for altered occu.
pancy usually involved a destruction
of 100000 or more worth of property,
depending on the number and char
acter of houses.
Where the scale of such operations
is reduced by good zoning ordinance
the annual savings, even in a city of
moderate size, are very considerable.

ECONOMY SUGGESTED.

1t is necessary to determine how
much money can be set aside to carry
out the plan of saving with budget.
What present expenses can be cut
down? A definite plan for the future
will best furnish the basis for divl.
sion or budget of ones income. One
way is to make a table of the regular
monthly expenditures, with the
amount necessary for each item, by
the week, month or year.
The budget thus made should be
given a fair trial, and each item made
to come within the limit set for it. If
funds are being continually borrowed
from one purpose TO be spent for an
other, the budget loses its value.

Improving a Dry Scalp.

Dear Miss Leeds: % What can I
do for a dry scalp? ~ l am feet
inches tall. 20 years Old and ! weigh
107 pounds. What is my correct
weight? go Is olive oil good for the
scalp and hair? az Should the hair
be sipged, and how often? 81 Does it
injure the hair to wind it on curriers'?
I have long hair and like to have a
wave in it. MRS. l.. M. 7.
Answer-O Dry scalps need plenty
of massage to stimulate the oil glands
to their proper activity. In addition,
an oily scalp food may be rubbed in
three times a week. A mixture of one
ounce olive oil, three ounces white
vaseline and 80 drops oil of lavender
makes a good salve to use on your
type OF scalp. Before your shampoo
you should also use a hot oil treat
ment. (2) Unless you have unusually
small bones, you are under weight.
Try to gain about 10 pounds. i think
that your hair will be in better condi-
ton if you gain weight. go Yes. az
Dark hair may be snged two or three
times a year; light hair should be
clipped instead of singed. (5) The only
danger to the hair from the use of
such curriers' is that you may wind
them too tight and too close to the
scalp, so that strain is put on the
hair. with the result that in time it
begins TO get thin. LOIS LEEDS.
Bleaching the Skin.
Dear Miss Leeds: How can I pre-
vent my skin from tanning and bleach
the tan that is already there? Please
also give me a remedy for enlarged
pores on the nose that turn into black
heads and pimples. l am very careful
Of my diet, and yet my skin is very
oily. Would you advise me to cleanse
my face with cold cream alone? l
have been told that this would correct
an oily skin and poor complexion.
-. y. NJ.
Answer-There are commercial
preparations in the form of cream
that one may use to prevent tanning.
Protect your complexion with cream
and powder before you go out in the
hot sun. Wear wide hat or carry
parasol. On coming indoors after an
outing do not wash your skin 'immedi-
ately, but cleanse it with oil. If there
are indications of sunburn, pat on
lotion made Of equal parts of olive oil
and limewater. You may use
bleaching cream or lotion to whiten
the skin that is already tanned. Re
cipes for these may be found in my

Everyday Law Cases
MdU Recipient OF Gift Enforce

RY THE COUNSELOR.
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

John Be]den drove up to the Outdoor
Refreshment Stand and ordered two
bottles of soda to be brought out to-
him and his guest, Miss Ross, who
was in the car with him. A clerk
brought the bottles and Be}den paid
for them. giving one to Miss Ross.
Miss Ross proceeded to drink and
suddenly cried out in pain. She had
swallowed some broken glass which
was in her bottle.
For the suffering that resulted Miss
Ross brought suit against the bottling
company, the manufacturers of the
soda, for S. 900, on the ground that
manufacturer implicitly warrants to
the public that the drink is pure and
wholesome, and breach of that war
ranty gives the customer a right of
action for any resulting injuries.
The company's attorney admitted
the rule of liability, but contended
that this guarantee applied only to
customers; that is. to those who pur-
chased the drinks. Miss Ross had
received the drink as IA gift, and as
they had no contract with her there
could he no breach, and, therefore.
she had no right to sue.
The court, although considering the
argument an ingenious one, permitted
Miss Ross to recover. stating:
THE drink was gift from Belden
to Miss Ross, and since a gift carries
with it the title to the article, the inn
piled guarantee runs with the title.
As she was in rightful possession of
the article. as one OF the public, the
manufactures is liable to her for the
breach"

''Why did you come back" he

She would despise him now for his

But to be caught, as she had caught

But Mans eyes looking directly up

She made a little gesture toward

Why was she asking him such
question when he had looked on the
thing as being settled for all time?
AS IL she didn't know that he needed
her. She didn't need him. that was it.
She had kept him out of her life from

In another part of this same article

letics- age, grade. height and weight
\ scheme along similar lines might
he used for marking the progress of
different classes in physical work, and
for fixing the arbitrary passing marks
for each school year. AT least some
definite step in this direction is long
overdue, and the friends of physical
education, if this modern departure
has any friends who dare speak ought
to voice a demand for a showdown
from the present administration.
Unless the hamilton of this branch
of public education can be overcome
somehow and physical training intro
duced into the schools as q serious
subject. some reactionarv boss will
presently have the Legislature repeal
the physical education law all of a
sudden on the patent ground that the
innovation has proved a failure in the
public schools. That would leave the
intrenched education men laughing

hear them laugh out loud than see

Answer-You should weigh about

Allowance Advocated
Parents are waking up to the ne
cessity of teaching children the
value and the use Of money as q
part of their early training. One
sneaker has said that an allowance
is as much child's right as bread
and milk, and should be granted as
early as he feels a purchasing need.
The experiences of others have
shown that if the child is made &C
ouainted with the family finances,
and given his just share regularly,
he will seldom overstep his allot-
ment.
Eventually there comes a time
when it is no longer ethical for the
child to be entirely dependent upon
the family. In adolescence his f1nan-
cial relation to them is different
than it was in infancy, and he
should earn a part of his keep. Then,
when the time comes for him to be
economically independent, he has
been led up to this point so gradu-
ally that he falls into the traces
naturally.
