Ny Neighbor Says:

To keep the polish of the din
ing room table perfect, rub every
three DAYS with n mixture made
of equal parts of olive oil and
turpentine. Apply with a fan
mel cloth. Dull spots on other
furniture may be treated in the
same way.
Teach children the proper care
of their books by having low
bookshelves around the walls
and insisting upon their putting
their books in place after the
story hour.
To remove nut meats whole
from the shell. pour hot water
on the nuts and let them remain
over night. You can crack and
remove meats in the morning.
1t is not extravaganza to keep
on hand a variety of seasoning
and fiavoring. 1t may mean a
small outlay in the beginning,
but it requires 50 little for any
one dish that the supply will
last a long time.
Mothers of growing children
in preparing their foods should
consider well properties foods
contain. Lime for bone making
is obtained from milk and car
rots, iron for blood from
spinach, egg yolk and liver and
lean meat, cabbage, raisins and
tomatoes; the phosphorus from

After using kerosene oil to
clean enamel bath tub or wood
work, rub with a clean flannel
wrung out in hot water.

Take one-half pound of lean beef

Archbishop CurIey Declares
Six Days of Present Films
Enough Destruction"
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch TO The star.
BALTIMORE, February 5.-Arch'
bishop Michael J. Curley has an
nounoed his opposition to Sunday
movies on the ground the current
films are so bad morally that six days
a. week is enough.
He has sent a letter to Mrs. Rufus
NJ. Gibbs, vice president of the
Citizens League for Better Motion
Pictures, supplementing IL by a note
advising her that she may use his
opinion in any way she sees INT N
connecticut With the fight TO defeat
Sunday movies.
His letter follows:
II have no objection to Sunday
movies because IL is Sunday, md |
have no objection to Sunday movies
because they are movies, bat do
object because they are such movies.
The moving picture might be
made g very practical vehicle of edu'
cation and amusement, but as a mat.
ter of fact-and we are dealing with
facts, not theories-the major impress"
sion made by the movies of today is
that they are more destructive than
constructive. They tend to dissipate
the mind. cripple the powers of con-
centrafion on serious work by our
young people ana, worst OF All, tIieH
have little if any, moral uplifting eff
feet. They treat of illegitimate love
affairs. the triangle situation, or mari
tai infdelity and sex problems. ad
nauseum.
"The people, young and old, have
six DAYS of the week during which
they attend movies in enormous num-
bers throughout the Nation. Do we
really need to add the seventh day
to increase the questionable effect on
mind and heart of such attendance, to
say nothing of the evil of their COM
liberalization OF our Sabbath?
