Dear Miss Leeds: ID Lately freckles
have started to come on my face and
arms. How can I get rid of them?
20 How can one remove the gum on
the hands from adhesive tape after
the tape has come off? MRS. c. B..
Answer-Q) Protect your skin with
cream and powder before going out
doors in the sun. Wear hats with fairly
wide brims also. Here Is a good lotion
for bleaching the skin and clearing
away freckles: One-half dram sulpho-
carbolate of zinc, one and one-half
ounces glycerin, four ounces rose water,
three drains cologne water. Shake well
and apply on piece OF clean absorbent
cotton several times day. Some types
of dark, stubborn freckles cannot be re-
moved. CD Try rubbing on a little
alcohol. LOIS LEEDS.
Increasing Ones Stature.
Dear Miss Leeds: am 10 years old
and feet tall. What should my
height be? I have received some litera-
ture about correspondence course for
increasing ones height. What do you
think of this? PUZZLED.
Answer-There are physical culture
methods in use for increasing height
somewhat. Sometimes men who want
to join the police force, Army or Navy
need to be little taller in order to
pass the tests and they put themselves
in training with this end in view. II
you need to gain height suggest your
asking your family physician whether
he thinks it is possible in your case and
if so, ask him to give you the name OF
some local physical culture expert who
can supervise your training. do not
think I would trust to a correspondence

BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

June 90, 1797.-The final crash In the
big local real estate speculation of the
Greenieaf- Morris Nicholson Syndicate
came today, when Robert Morris and
John Nicholson assigned their property
interests in the city to the Aggregate
Fund, Henry Pratt and others, trustees. !"
It is understood that the interests OF
James Greenleaf are also included In
the assignment.
This business failure was not unex-
pected, in view of the advertisement In
serted in local newspapers last month
offering for sale list of city lots. which
are to be sold in default OF payment OF
the third installment OF the purchase
money. The sale Is to be held next
month.
So complete has been the financial
failure of Messrs Greenleaf, Morris 6Z
Nicholson, who contracted to purchase
large blocks of lots in the Federal City
from the Commissioners and expected
to grow rich from the increase in value
of these lots, that 1t Is now feared all
three of them will be confined to a
debtors prison before many months
go by.
This is all the more remarkable, In
view of the great wealth few years ago
of Mr.. Morris, whose home lis in Phila-
delphia. In his day MIR. Morris was the
wealthiest man in the United States.
He was very prominent In public affairs
during the Revolutionary War and. has
held his place OF prominence In Phlla-
delphia since that time.
Mr.. Morris believed with many other
Americans that great tide of immigra-
ton would set In toward this country
following the war and looked for a big
rise in the value of real estate from that
cause in the new Federal City on the
Potomac River
He joined with Mr.. Greenleaf and
Mr. Nicholson in contracting with the
City Commissioners for the purchase OF
some 5000 city lots. which were TO be
paid for In installments.
To help float the transaction Mr..
Greenleaf hoped TO borrow a consider
able sum of money from bankers In
Holland, but the war In Europe has
made that impossible. The growth OF
the Federal City has not been az rapid
as was expected by these spectators.
They have not been able TO sell very
many Of the lots which they purchased
and have been unable to meet the paw
menis due upon them.

Air Kept Sweet in Cooking Period
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

This matter of preventing them is SIM
plified when the family lives in house.
and complicated In apartments where
one room In close to another Some
times, most unfortunately, one room
gains its ventilation only through an
other room. This is the worst condi-
ton to cope with, but even In such a
circumstance the matter of cooking
smeels can be greatly diminished, if
not entirely eradicated by the methods
to be described.
Cooking cabbage has way of an

". likewise caulifiower. Put a little
saleratus In the boiling salted water
before cooking the vegetables. Drop the
separated leaves, or the segments of the
cauliflower into it gradually. Besides
graduating the odor this measure aids
in speeding up the cooking, and the
delicate green color will not be lost as
otherwise 1t would, so the dish is more
attractive when served. OF course, the
kettle should remain uncovered during
the entire time of cooking.
Sometimes a pleasant odor is used
to counteract an unpleasant one. Com
pared TO the smell of burnt milk or fat,
that of burning sugar or coffee is most
welcome. A little sugar put upon the

of burnt milk. If you have gas range
without lids it is surprising what PEN
etrating and agreeable odor arises from
burnt sugar. Coffee, used In the same
manner, is preferred by some.
If fat is being extracted from meat
it should not cook rapidly, but slowly
simmer This may be sufficient to pre-
vent the unpleasant, greasy smell, but
IL not, burn sugar and air the room
until the smell is gone, then lower the
flame, If 1t is one that can be regulated,
and continue the boiling even more
slowly.
When onions begin to boil invert the
cover 10 the saucepan and put little
coffee in it. Needless to say this should
be ground coffee and not liquid. The
result is gratifying The odor that
arises is pleasant rather than disagree

Of course, the Summer season per-

aromaS, an electric fan or improvised
newspaper fan set in motion in the
less ventilated portions of rooms will
have an excellent result. An atomizer
containing some aromatic toilet water
can be sprayed upon the air with puri-
flying effect, or incense can be burned.

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN n. GUM.
Blossoms in the Desert.

Text: 1.-THE wilderness and the soli-
tary place shall be glad for them, and
the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as
q rose. lis. xxxv.1.
We would scarcely expect to find
flowers blooming in the desert places
of earth. And yet 1t Is just such places
that the most delicate and beautiful
flowers bloom. Flowers Of exquisite COL
or and fragrance are found in the jun
giles of Africa, in the frozen regions
OF the North. amid the glaciers of
Arabian desert. The water lily-the
fairest of the fiowers-has its roots in
the fouleSt filth.
Just as God makes flowers to grow
everywhere, in all sorts Of soil and cli-
mates, so He makes the richer flowers
of character and spiritual life to grow
everywhere, In all sorts Of conditions
and circumstances. Everywhere, In the
midst OF the most debasing and debili-
tating environment, He makes the f1ow-
ers of Christian graces and virtues to
unfold.
One of the finest Christian characters
I ever knew was a man who worked In
a place where the moral atmosphere
was charged with vulgarity. profanity
and irreligion. I think one of the
sweetest Christian spirits I ever knew
was that OF a woman who lived her
whole life amid circumstances OF the
hardest poverty.
Such flowers of spiritual grace and
beauty are often found in the desert
places of life. In the most unholy
environment and in the most adverse
circumstances, spiritual flowers can grow
that will beautify life and I'LL the world
with their fragrance. Indeed. 1t is usu-
ally in such desert places where trials
and hardships touch life. that We find
he rarest flowers of Christian character.
Do not complain If your lot has been
cast In some desert wilderness. Flow
ers may bloom there that win gladden.
your heart and bless the world with
their beauty and sweetness

ago relegated to the attic and given up
as hopeless. A clever woman saw pos

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday, June ~.

Good and evil planetary influences
will contend tomorrow, according to
astrology. AS the day advances benefic
aspects will dominate.
Under this planetary government the
early morning is likely to be a time
when dissatisfaction is voiced and quar-
rels started.
Men may be especially irritable at
breakfast, but they will recover their
poise after midday.
Initiative should be delayed until
there Is a more favorable rule Of the
stars. A week hence the stars will
smile on new ventures.
1t is read as fairly lucky wedding
day, although it may lead to family
differences of opinion.
The bride is likely to rule her hus-
band and to administer their joint af-
fairs successfully.
Theaters should benefit from this
configuration, which encourages love of
entertainment.
Because Of the strong occult infiu-
ences dimly discerned by the average
person, the desire for amusement that
prevents thinking or reaching out to-
ward the unknown will be widely preva-
lent all through the Summer.
Music will gain popularity hitherto
unknown in the United States, the
seers prophesy, and great artists viii
arise In America.
All who desire new positions may
safely seek interviews with persons who
have power to bestow them.
The rule of the stars is most favor
able for all who WELD authority.
There Is an encouraging sign for
those who must borrow money. Bankers
may be less forbidding tomorrow than
they are at other times.
Persons whose birth date it Is should
avoid speculation in the coming year
They will be lucky In love and in bust
ness.
Children born on that day probably
will be extremely ambitious. They
should be taught the value Of caution.

RESERVE BOARD
ANNOUNCES
RULINGS
By HARRY GUSACk
Financial Editor

Two important rulings affecting
banks which are members of the
Federal reserve system were handed
down by the Federal Reserve Board
yesterday.
In one of the rulings the board held
that a member bank which issued
its cashiers check for exchange pur-
chased through the Federal reserve
system, may treat the amount OF
such check as money borrowed ana
not as a deposit liability.
The board held that the issuance
Of the check was To avoid the neces-
sity of rediscounting with the Fed
eral reserve banks of the area or of
showing a deficiency in reserves.
Rules of comput ng bank re
serves were also issued by the board,
which announced that member banks
may not treat as a balance due it
(for computation Of reserves) bal
ance which it holds in London
branch of a New York city bank
which balance is repayab'e to the
depositing bank in 90 days. The
banks had agreed that the repay.
ment would be made in dollars and
at a given rate of exchange. The
board held that tie balance was not
due" the depositing bank until the
expiration Of the 90-day period.
