PARIS, Nov. 22.-George Clemen-
ceau, wartime premier Of France,
clung to life with a precarious hold
late today, his iron constitution hold
ing out stubbornly against the ad-
vance of uremia.
After night and day Of intense
suffering, relieved by injections OF
morphine and camphor oil to
strengthen his heart, the aged man
was little better at p. m. Except
for momentary lapses, he retained
consciousness.
His doctors were gravely worried
There was danger that his weak
ened heart, which survived critical
attack a month ago, might give out
under the added strain. Clemen-
ceau suffered great abdominal pain
from collie.
DR.. Jacquemaire. leaving Clemen-
ceau shortly before 4 p. m, said
that although the patients pulse
was weak, he was somewhat better.

President Hoover, with this
important achievement behind
him, moved on today in his
drive to crush the forces of
pessimiSm. He called in
heads OF the great construc-
ton industries to meet with
him this afternoon.
One of three billion dollars is ex-
pected to be spent in general con-
SGruction next year. Railroads have
pledged themselves to spend a
billion. Federal reserve officials
predict cheap money to finance
operations.
Minds OFF Market
Many here believe the President
not only has aYerted a depression,
but has given such powerful
momentum to business that new
wave of prosperity may sweep over
the country. President Hoover pre-
diets 1880 will be a bigger year than
1929.
He has taken the mind of the
country off of the stock market and
turned it back to the factories and
the shops where the great American
public year in and year out earns
its bread and butter.
He has, by the pledge Of business
leaders to keep wages up, driven
from the door of the wage Garner
and small salaried man the specter
of hard times. This fear. which
once aroused lays a clammy hand
on trade, drives money into hiding
and freezes goods on the shelves of
merchants, no longer is justified.
President Hoover feels.
A. T. and T. in Program
This afternoon representatives of
the Associated General Contractors
OF America, the National Real Estate
Board, the American Engineering
Council, the brick, lumber and ce-
ment and other industries will meet
IN the Presidents cabinet room to
outline to him their hopes for a year
OF the maximum amount of con-
struction they feel able to promise.
Preliminary reports indicate this
may run from one to three billion
dollars.
The American Telephone and
Telegraph Company expects to
spend $600,000,O0O in the next year.
A group Of public utility leaders who
viii confer with the President Nom
day may swell by large proportions
the total of visible business which
Is coming around the corner.
President Hoover believes that the
sucking Of money into the stock
market during the speculative boom
has postponed much construction
and that the flow of this capital
back into industry and commerce
now will assist in new building.
Barnes Is Appointed
The President has appointed
Julius Barnes, chairman Of the
board Of the United States Chamber
of Commerce and an old business
adviser, as head of a temporary ad-
visory committee which will under
take nationwide survey Of build
ing projects and industrial develop
ment which can be undertaken
wisely.
The business conferences will be
held Monday, farm leaders meeting
the President at 10 a. m, and public
utilities heads at 2:30 D. m. No
other meetings have been an
nounced. While additional confer
ences may be called the President Is
preparing to turn over active
guidance Of the situation to the adj
viSory committee headed by Barnes.

WILMINGTON KIWANIS CLUB

of those members representing a
large economic interest in this Sec

that it deserves the support of every
one who is concerned about the i'm
provement of our farming conditions.
In keeping with the recognition of
these agricultural associations by
other organizations such as the civic
clubs in this state, the Kiwanis Club
of Wilmington, through its agricul-
tural committee, has taken the first
step toward encouraging the Della
ware State Poultry Association by
offering for competition two silver
cups at the State Poultry Show,
which will be held in Milford on De-

MAKES BREAKFAST
FOR CHRISTM AS
DAY REAL FEAST

. The Christmas breakfast Of course
is over-shadowed by the Christmas
dinner, but this breakfast is very
important because the dinner is late
and hungry little folks, and maybe
, hungry big ones as we'll, will nibble
too much on candy If their appetites
are not satisfied.
y Why not have real feast Christ
mas morn? There is always some
+. favorite breakfast dish in every
family which cannot be INDUCED In
very often. This is good time to
have it, so that the breakfast is not
neglected for the enjoyment of the
: presents. Possibly there are guests
for which it is desired to have an
especially attractive table. Some
families have guests for breakfast
on Christmas day, so that they may
enjoy the tree and the opening of
the presents.
A very Christmasy way of serving
grapefruit is to remove the fruit
from the skin the night before,
sweeten 1t and color it red with
fruit or vegetable coloring. Garnish
with a green cherry.

Color for Closets
By GLADYS LILLY

ARE your closets as dainty
"a and neat as the bedrooms
L A in your home, or are they
little dark places where you throw
things and close the door quickly7
If you should entertain unex-
pectedly one of those inquisitive
guests who peer into bureau draw
ers and closets, would she sniff
critically at her discoveries about
you? Why not prepare for such an
emergency1
The first step towards keeping
a closet neat is to remove every
thing in it, and throw away heaps
of old things that you've been
boarding and which will never do
you or anybody else any goodl
Then give the walls, hooks, shelves
and floor of the closet a coat of
paint, choosing some light attrac-
tive color that will not clash with
the room the closet serves when
its door is open; or better still
coat the interior of the closet with
two or more harmonizing colorsI

TT Is easy enough to keep the
house in repair in places which
Il come within our line of vision,
but when the roof needs fixing,
there is apt to be no warning until
a damp and unsightly spot appears
on the ceiling. Then there is bill
for redecoration as well as for re-
pair-two large items of expense
that should have been rolled into
q small one and applied to pre-
vention instead of to cure. For
money spent at regular intervals
for a coat of good paint will keep
the roof in perfect condition so it
will not spring a leak.
More than any other part of the
house. the roof is exposed to the
ravages of the elements. Rain
often stays in the gutter for days
and snow sometimes covers the
whole area for weeks. This lowers
the resistance of both metal and
wood, causing rust and decay un-
less there is proper protection.
Paint spreads a moisture-proof
film over the surface, sealing the
pores of the wood and fortifying

Shelf tops and hooks may be rose,
peacock blue. coral, jade green,
yellow or any favorite shade, while
pale cream is the best choice for
the walls and other woodwork of
the closet.
Attractive boxes for shoes and
hats are easily made by pasting
prints cut from magazines on
fiber-board boxes which have been
lacquered in harmony with the
chosen color scheme. A coat of
shellac on the prints will improve
their appearance, make them wash
able and prevent their edges from
curling up.
Lacquered shoe trees, coat hang

bins complete the convenience as
well as the decoration of the closet.

the metal against corrosion. Tin
roofs should be repainted every
two years; shingled roofs may
safely wait four or FIVE years. but
no longer.
The wearing capacity of shingles
will depend largely, of course, on
whether the painter makes a good
job of applying the paint or stain.
For a new roof, the best method
is to dip one coat before the
shingles are laid and then brush
on the second coat when the roof
is completed. Pre-dipping gives the
shingles protection on both sides
and insures an even distribution
of color.
Modern roof colors are much
brighter than the dull reds and
timid browns of past years and
many home owners look upon this
change as an opportunity for in
expensive remodeling. With a roof
of emerald green, or one of bright
terra Gotta - whichever suits its
complexion-an old house can be
brought up-to-date without a single
change in outline.
