It seems to me, dear BIN,
that your letter suggests a won
derful opportunity for YOU and
your wife TO express Christmas
generosity and goodwill. OF
course you need not sacrifice q
sound, good friendship because
you marry. Merely enlarge that
friendship to include your wife
and your friends husband.
Let your wife, in this in
stance. join with you in sending
your old friend and her hus-
band q remembrance they can
use In their new home: some
thing they can share and enjoy
together. I would suggest q
piece Of sterling silver FOR the
table or some fine table linen,
q lovely vase or candle dlesticlks.
Christmas Eve Is d little late to

such lastrminute emergencies
that nearly all shops are kept

Love generous, radiant, trust

The Beauty Box
BY Helen Follett-

There is this to be said in
favor Of longer hair: it offers
greater opportunity for design
ing the distinctive hair-do. Yet,
there are many women who
refuse to extend their short
ends into Godiya strands.
Mainly because the short shock
IS easier to shampoo and less
trouble than coils anchored
with hairpins. It is with hair
as 1t is with skirts; short or
long, you take your choice.
When walking there should
be lightness and ease Of motion.
There should be no lost mo-
tion: the body should progress
straight ahead. If the chest is
held high the shoulders cannot
droop forward. Hands may
swing, but hips must not.

According to a New York
fashion authority, it is quite
correct to allow these bright
skirts to show three or four
inches below your coat. In this
case, an even hem-line is de-
cidedly smarter. especially for
street.
If you have not achieved an
effect that is colorful enough

can find q clever little knitted

already are wearing the cor
rect shoes, bag, gloves and hose.
for the frock and hat you add
to your ensemble. If you are
buying new accessories, they
should match or harmonic
with your coat, and should be
in dark tones.
Another means of brighten
ing your costume is by the adj
dition of hat, scarf and jew
elry ensemble bright colored
choker and bracelets Of wood
or Of some smart composition
in the same tone as your felt
hat. Many Of these accessories
that you purchase now may be

HIRING 0R BUYING
 TRUCKS


 Argument is geod for the mind. And for the dissemination of knowledge.
 The statements made by Alderman Walter R. Falk. following his expert. ence as mayor pro tenn. and the re- plies by City Engineer P. A. Merriam. were of the sort to pique curiosity.
 h or is the city not wasting money in hiring equipment for street work? ? It may be easy to come to sup posed conclusion predicated upon political preferences But that is no worthy conclusion. being merely one of those things related to a party label.
 Our belief is Mir. Merian had the best of the discussion, and for this reason: It is cheaper for the city to hire equipment 1t only needs amall part of the time from contractors who use it all the time.
 It is like a firm which buys sev- eral hundred dollars worth of print ing a year. It would be considered wasteful if it installed its own print ing shop.
 But the terms of hiring trucks must be reasonable. On this point there remains a doubt.

A COUNTY LEADER IN GOOD HIGHWAYS

It is said of Westchester county. New York. that it is determined to maintain its lead as the model for good road construction throughout the United states; and likewise be model of foreashtedness and method. Its most recent effort in road building will be the expenditure of S35.0eo. o.000-not necessarily on the pay as you go" principle.
 As this vast program is unfolded although it Is merely an addition to an already magnificent county road system-one learns that the Connecticut system of widening roads by destroying magnificent old elms and even removing houses where . little readjustment would have made this unnecessary. will not be followed. Such crude system fails to appeal to Westchester authorities.
 Grade crossings will be avoided wherever possible, which is natural in the construction of modern high ways; but when one discovers that this also includes the avoidance ef grade crossings with other highways one comes to realization that this is something that could be adopted to the profit Of traffic almost every. where. An example of how this is done is already in existence along the Bronx River Parkway. wher1 there are overhead crossings where

 A. The most practical material for removing rust is soda ash (anhydrous sodium carbonats). The system should be filled with solu- ton of this material containing about { pounds per 100 gallons. A very light fire and only enough pressure should be maintained to keep the water in circulation. Usually e4 hours heating is suffi- cient. The system should then be emptied and rinsed out with clean water. Where the piping is severe ly clogged with rust it may be necessary to resort to the use of acid.

We have heard of men picking 50 barrels, but both fruit and trees are sure to be damaged by such slam- bang work. One of the best com mercial growers we know of insists that an average of 10 or IF barrels per day per man is enough: It is not . matter of clawing off the
