Substitutes for Feather Busters
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER

/ ter Of keeping rooms busted was that
there was nowhere near as much dust.
Today we have all sorts Of glorifled
feather busters, although they do not
come under that name. The modern
| substitutes for the old-tine feather
buster are found in brushes and brooms
Of all sorts and sizes. It may be added
that the identical fault charged against
| the feather buster applies to these mod
ern busters, namely that of scattering
| the dust. It seems impossible to avoid
| this. Today we brush UP the dust dis
lodged when cleaning any special article
and so prevent its settling after the
room is clean.
The array of brushes and brooms for
all sorts of purposes is astonishing IN
this day of vacuum cleaners, the great
dustless contrivances that eat up the
dust while they clean. Even the house
with its various attachments does not
expect to do without certain brushes and
broomS.
The radiator brush is one that is
much needed. It is so thin that 1t slips
between closely set coils of pipe and
sends the dust onto the floor beneath
where it is comparatively easy matter
to brush it up.
The wire brush is found a handy con-
trivance to brush away the specks OF
food that will get onto the tops Of gas
burners occasionally. A vigorous brush
ing with the metal brush will leave the
top of the gas range clean and the
burners free and unclogged.
The hearth brush is indispensable in
the home where there are open fires.
This brush may be of corn broom with
attractive painted handle. or of grass
with long feathery fronds and reedlike
stems bound together like fagots, plain
or gayly painted. Or again it may be
a brush with bright red, green or yell
low bristles and long metal or wooden
handles, or possibly metal handles when
the brush is part of the fire set.
It may be added that today feather
buster with long handle is not bad
utensil to brush off the tops of doors
and their frame lodges. or to whisk the
dust from window sills before using a
cloth duster Be sure in brushing a
window sill that the dust is always
firted out the open window instead of
into the room.

Years ago motion pictures were made
on stages with glass roofs. In Sum-
mertime directors and actors arrived
home in q state of near-collapSe.
Then one day they discovered that
there was no necessity for the deadly
glass roof. That pictures could be
made with artificial light intensified
with silver screens.
The same thing applies to the sound
stage Of today, according to William
CoWan. He says some one will invent
something to abolish extraneous noises,
so the microphones will catch only the
human voices, or such sounds in the
immediate vicinity as should be re-
corded.
At present the successful making Of
a sound sequence depends largely on
eliminating as much furniture as pos
sible from the set. A mahogany table
gives back such q resonant echo that
the entire effect may be destroyed.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, March Ia
Movie stars aren't losing their lives
over the first local presentation Of
Eugene O'Neill's Strange Interlude."
Some Of them have seen the original
company In New York. More Of them
have o working knowledge Of what
it's all about. It won't make a "talkie"
and cinemaites are not interested In
anything that doesn't register for cur
rent use.
Another thing the play which
proved q novelty in New York was not
being shown In largely professional
Community. So the sunset-hour OPEN
ing was negotiable. But at the time
the lengthy drama opens some lovely
star is glazing at the director, antici-
pating his order for a retake. She's
thinking of the long drive home and a
shower and perhaps a beauty-nap be-
fore dinner.
Openings in the village are gala af-
fairs. They enable lovely blonde ladies
the new, fiesh-colored velvet gowns.
They mean long garlands Of orchids
or gardenias. They mean elaborate
facial makeup. Painstaking detail.
AL Of which Is out of the question at
Sis. Why 60 to an opening II you
can't create a sensation on arriving?
It's a waste Of time.

Conversing With Child.
AND THEIR CHILDREN.
One mother says:

One mother says:
For the sake of your childs happi-
ness teach him early the rudiments Of
good conversation. What is your
name?" or Are you mammals or papa's
boy?" are questions the child soon
wearies of. Moreover, they do not help
him in any way. He knows whose
boy he is and that the one asking
the question knows, and he resents the
pretended forgetfulness.
There is so much in nature that can
be brought to the child's attention
birds, trees, flowers, floating clouds
all these and kindred subjects will prove
interesting and helpful to the child now
and in years to come.

Communists Gain in
p olish City Polls

WARSAW (By Mail) The Com

progress in the municipal elections
in Lublin. The Communist list,
which was declared invalid by the
authorities, received 6,933 votes,
whilst the Polish Socialist Party re-
oeived only 3,204 votes. The list of
the Javorovski group "a right-wing
split from the socialists) received
only sol votes. The Pilsudski
Block received 6,672 votes, the jew
ish "Bund" 6,486 votes, the right
wing block National Democrats
Sf1d Christians), 1888 votes. The
Communist deputies, Gavron and
Kerusalski, held number of cleo
toral meetings which were attacked
by the police who wounded Keru-
salski. Kerusalski nevertheless
spoke at a further meeting which
was also broken up by the police
and Jerusalski was then severely in
jured.
The town council elections in
Grodsik gave the Communist Party
three mandates and the Polish So
cialists only one mandate.
