BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

very drying Some stains yield better
to this treatment than TO lemon. The
very best bleach of all is very. very
weak solution of oxalic acid. But II
this is used. 1t should be kept In tiny
bottle OF a special kind. so 1t viii not
be used for any other purpose. nor by
any mischance taken internally. as 1t
is poisonous.
On the whole. I'd advise sticking TO
lemon or ammonia, or the harmless
hleaches sold among the manicure
articles In the drug stores. No bleach
is better than lemon juice, in my opin-
ion. which always considers the eco
nor1ical side of these matters, TO war
rant the difference In price between
that of one lemon and one small bottle
of bleach. I'd rather put the money
spend on beauty preparations into
face powders or some OF the things
that can't be made at home-or into
something that was not beauty
preparation. Beauty treatments should
not take too much Of ones personal
spending money Use pumice stone for
calIoiis yellow stained skin.

OAKLAND FIRE COMPANY
SHOWS IT'S EFFICIENCY
Makes Record Run to Terra Alta
on Monday Night When Serious
Blaze Threatens

The efficiency of the Oakland Volun-
teer Fire department was demonstrat-
ed again Monday night when its
members made record run to Terra
Alta, distance of ten miles, to as
sist in getting a blaze under control
at that place.
The first call came about 10 o'clock,
a second call to come and to hurry
Immediately followed. At 1910 O'clock
the Locomobile truck with seven or
eight members of the department had
passed Ramsey's garage at Rosedale,
just on the edge of town. At 1920
they had passed the high school build
ing on the outskirts of Terra Alta.
At 1927 the line had been hooked UP,
an estimate of the situation made, and
found to be unnecessary to turn water
into the line.
State Policeman Thomas E. Cur
RE, preceded the fire truck for the
purpose of clearing the road, and ac-
cording to George Kerins, fire chief,
he certainly did the work.
While the hose and pumper stood
by in readiness, members of the Oak
land department assisted in putting
out the blaze. The only equipment
used consisted of a few nozzles at
tached to the hose lines of Terra
Atlas department.
Besides the seven or eight members
of the department who went with the
truck, two more carloads appeared
shortly after and aided in bringing
the fire under control.
The fire originated between the
theatre and C. A. Dodge's Meat mark
ct on the main street of the town, and
was the same spot that had caught
fire about two weeks ago. The meat
market was damaged considerably as
was also a vacant store room next
door. The theatre was only slightly
damaged.
In commenting on the speed with
which the Oakland department APP
peared in Terra Alta after the call
had been sent to them, Judge Ever
hart said, Boys, l don't see how in
the world you did it." And then Fire
Chief George Kerins said, "If hadn't

SCOUT COURT OF HONOR
HEARS OF RESIGNATION
Was Officially Notified at Regu-
lar Meeting Monday

The Court of Honor of Oakland
Troop No. /, Boy Scouts of America,
was officially notified Of the resigna-
ton of Scoot Shirer as Scoutmaster
of that Troop at the regular monthly
meeting on Monday night and at the
same time was advised that Rev.
Paul G. Linaweaver had accepted the
position of Master and would assume
his duties as such Immediately.
Franklin E. Rathbun, a member OF
the Troop Committee and also of the
Court of Honor in behalf of the two
bodies Of men, paid high tribute to
the retiring scoutmaster for the ex-
cellent work which was accomplished
by the boys while under his direction
and leadership. Mr.. Rathbun pointed
out that Mr.. Shirer had performed an
invaluable service to the community
in which he lives in that he has kept
alive one of the most active scout
troops in the country and has coun-
selled the boys through an important
period of their lives. for which they
will ever be indebted to him.
Mr.. Shirer made some fitting re-
marks to the Court of Honor and after
reviewing the accomplishments of the
troop during the past two and a-half
years, during which time he was mas
ter, he stated that such accomplish
ments were made possible only by the
support which he and the troop had
received from the Ladies' Auxiliary
troop committee and the Court of
Honor. He added that it was his only
request that the same support be
given to his successor in the work.
Rev. Linaweaver was present at the
meeting of the Court of Honor for a
short time, but due to a previous en-
gagement was unable to remain. He
stated, however, before taking leave,
that he would enter actively upon his
duties as scoutmaster the following
day and would complete arrange
ments for the boys annual outing,
which will include two weeks at the
Scout camp on Deep Greek Lake dur
ing this month.

OPERATIONS AT CANNING
PLANT WILL END SOON
Approximately $4,000 Cases of
Peas Canned During Month.

The Mount Airy Canning Company,
whose plant is located at Loeb Lynn
Heights, which began operations on
Wednesday, July II, will close the
early part of next week after canning
approximately $4,000 cases of peas.
The pack was harvested from about
six hundred acres of land in Garrett
county. The. acreage was increased
from $50 acres last year to the above
figures this year, but the constant
rainfall has lowered production very
considerably, according to the man
agement of the plant.
While the plant was in operation
at full capacity about 100 persons
were given constant employment.
Since April l the original plant
has undergone a complete remodeling
with additions constructed, with the
result that the efficiency Of the plant
in handling the product has been ma
terially increased with less labor. Mr.
Reinhardt, local manager, supervised
the construction of the addition and
rearrangemento of the machinery with
in the plant.
Later in the season, or about Sep
TENDER IS, a large quantity of corn
will be harvested and canned at this
plant, the grain having been grown by
local farmers.
