Demand that the Justice Depart

IN the distribution of talkie.movie
equipment was made today by
Abram r. Myers, former chairman
of the Federal Trade Commission.
who is head of the new Allied

Meyers asked that the Govern

R1,cers of ound-equipment from
entering into agreements with movie
makers under which the films can
NOT be leased for reproduction on
machines not approved by the
equipment manufacturers.
In a statement of policy of his
organization Myers said that these
agreements are not substantially
different from those held Illegal in
suits brought by the Government
against producers OF other moving
picture apparatus and shoe ma.
chinery.
Actions Prosecuted
These actions were prosecutor by
the Justice Department when Myers
was IN the antitrust section and
he was instrumental in the prepare
ton Of the suits.
'eFron such studies as have
been able to give the matter have
concluded that the restrictions in
question are clearly outside the
power OF the producers to impose,
Myers said.
1t was the understanding that
should the Justice Department de-
cline to take action. Injunction suits

Sherman and Clayton acts.

Myers submitted data to the
department which he insisted would

producers are Illegal, and iiscrimi.

We all crave sweets all the time
That seems to be an accepted fact
But many of us do not like sugar
as an addition to other foods-in
cereal and cooked or raw fruit. in
coffee, tea and chocolate.
However, there are many other kinds
of sweets than sugar.
There are, for instance, dried fruits
an full Of sweetness.
There is maple strip. and there Is
maple sugar. You may use the sugar
shaved on pancakes or wafies, just
as you may use maple sirup. You may
also use them both on French toast
And did you ever hear OF eating hot
crullers with maple strip? Like gid
ing fine gold or painting the lily, isn't
it? But 1t Is done, and is one OF the
favorite dishes In one Of the houses at
one Of the popular girls colleges.
Then there is honey. You can use
that in place of maple sirllp. Oh. and

You can acquire o distinct taste for

one at first.

Get Your Jars
In Condition

II you have old jars and other con-
tanners make point of getting them
all In condition, we'll washed and with
covers sorted and in order. This
should be done before the day that
actual canning Is to be carried on.
Much time may be saved in pairing OF
peeling fruit If it Is first plunged into
boiling water. This may be done for
tomatoes, peaches, pluins, and even
pears and apples. If the fruit is not
left too long In the water, but only long
enough to loosen the skin, it will be
none the worse. Since it is all to be
cooked anyway, the slight softening does
no harm.
Time Is saved II peaches, plums, ETC.,
are canned with the stones in, but 1t
must be remembered that the stones
take up needless room In the jars and
fruit canned in that way is never SO
desirable when it comes time to use
1t as that In which all stems, stones,
seeds. etc, are carefully removed.
Follow directions carefully. Re-
member that If too much sugar is
used in making Jelly the resulting prod
uct will be stringy or gumny. Never

This is what o woman would learn
about the present vogue for tanned
skin If she had an opportunity to attend
q beauty school Of the type that trains
professional beeuticians.
Sun-tan, of course, is only the latest
abuse to which compilations fall heir
in the summertime. Low-cut sports
dresses and bathing suits bring an in
creased use of depilatories and these,
too. are liable to prolong milady's Sum-
mer complexion problem far into the
next season.
There are many methods Of treating
burned skin. The beauty cuIturist
knows that a continuous warm bath for
few hours at q time is the best way,
but In acute cases any water may be
harmful and soap and water are still
more injurious. Olive oil, sweet oil or
vasellne is recommended by DIR. Albert
Stricken. Water n1edicated by starch,
bicarbonate Of soda, borax or bran Is
also effective.
A handful of bran In a bowl Of water
is enough for washing the face. Half
a pound of starch to two-thirds of q
bathtub of lukewarm water makes a
good bath, one-half gallon OF bran to
30 gallons OF water. Bran must soak
for 5 minutes before the bath Is used.
IF the sun has given your complexion
an unwanted tan, one Of the easiest
ways to remove 1t Is by the use of EPSON

How to Light
The Card Table

In lighting your card table it is i'm
portant that the light shines as 1t
should for each of the four who sit
around the table. With ordinary light
ing 1t is impossible not to have q glare
in some ones eyes or TO avoid the table
glare that makes 1t trying for one at
the table to watch the cards as they
are thrown.
The ideal table light is to be gained
from the electric lamps known as
bridge lamps. These consist Of q wood
or metal standard standing on the floor
that throws shaded light about two
feet above the table. Such q light
should be set at one corner of the table.
Usually one electric bulb is quite ade-
quate and there is no reason why you
should get lamp that holds more than
one bulb for this purpose.
There are any number Of card table
accessories that are not at all neceS-
sary to the experienced player. There
are little devices on which may be reg
istered the choice of trump for the
playing OF hand. The real bridge
enthusiast rather scorns such acces-
series. But they are pretty.

beige that looks as If It had been mixed
with green or blue.
One of the most annoying tasks in
careful dressing is to get beiges to
match when buying accessories. Be
cause If you do wear beige hat and
| beige bag or beige enoes and beige
gloves they must be Of precisely the
same beige.
But beige must be smart or smart
women wouldn't still wear 1t. some one
protests. And the answer to that re-
mark is that, whether you like to admit
1t or not--smartly dressed women are
usually quite free with the use of make
up, and there Is world of difference
between the effect OF beige when worn
by a woman who wears her skin and
lips and hair precisely as nature gave
them to her and when worn by won1-
an who chooses to make them look as
she wishes with the help of cosmetics.
But If one doesn't wear beige, there
is nothing to do but to wear gray, some
women reply when the suggestion is
made that the color of sand is not par
ttcularly becoming. Tnere Is still this
underlying conviction that one must
base ones ensemble on some underly-
ing neutral tone. White, it may be, in
warm weather-hardly black since dark
stockings are not worn save in mourn
ing.
There is really no reason why one
should dilute every costume with neu-
trail shade-despite the advantages that
are often to be gained rom such a
procedure. At any rate one can con-
fine the neutral tone TO gloves and
stockings.
In the opinion of some students Of
color In its relation to dress, beige
should never be combined with the pale
pastel tones. and the trick Of using
beige with deep brown and orange
or with making combinations of navy
blue and beige or black and beige Is
frequently employed by important
French dressmakers.
