stumbling, inarticulate. Jerry

MRS. A. a. r.
It may be keeping your books
in a dark cupboard that draws
reaches and waterbugs. These
pests also abound near warm
places, such as hot water pipes.
AS a general preventative | re-
comment powdered borax. Dust it
freely on the shelves. Kerosene
is also very good. If you sprinkle
a few drops Of oil Of lavender on
bookshelves, the odor Of mold
which sometimes comes in wet
weather will also be destroyed.

~ Can you piUe me any informal

Borax Is excellent for softening
water, anc it is also a mild
bleach. Washing soda or a soap
solution used in large quantities
is good to soften water for wash
ing clothes or dishes and for
scrubbing. 1t Is hard to give pro.
portions for the degree of hard
ness varies greatly in different
waters. To get a soap solution,
dissolve scraps Of soaps in a jar
Of water. To make a washing
soda solution fill a good sized
glass jar with hot water. and all
the soda that will dissolve. For
bleaching, boil table linen, muslin,
etc. in a boiler of bluing water
well. Hang up to dry without
further rinsing. Javelle water is
also recommended for bleaching.

"HE world viii appear gayer
during the coming Spring
and Summer, thanks to
the Paris manufacturers of fem
mime fabrics, who have conspired
to see that printed materials
shall be given precedence in
fashions for another Summer
season. After the preponderance
Of black velvet in the Winter
mode, these new and cheerful
prints should give the wearer a
CHEEKY feeling, particularly as the
colors are much more intriguing
and the designs more exotic than
those of last year.
There are to be many pinks,
grading from pivotal salmon
pink, there are to be a number of
blues deepening and paling in
tone from china blue, and there
is to be old gold and jonquil yell

found in the chiffons, these
shades, though inclined to be deli
cate, serve as the backgrounds
for the printed designs, which are
most often in white. 1t cannot
be set down as an invariable rule,
but in the majority of cases these
same relative values obtain-the
ground is darker than the design.
AS for the patterns, on chiffon,
which is meant to fall into soft
draped lines, the designs are
large, often blurred and usually
massed all over, though OCCASION
ally they are very widely spaced,
or again, may be interlaced
gracefully.
On crepe de chine and satin,
the designs are small and fine,
very closely spaced, n of tiny
stars being a typical example.
The alternative of these minute
motifs is the designs with null
tiple printing, an all-over pat
tern of, let US say, bright-hued,

angles and arcs, over which are

recommended for filing out
hollows, however, effective re-
suits were achieved only after
a long period of faithful appli-
cation. Recent experimentation
with this product developed the
possibility that its heavy consls-
tency made penetration slow
which might be largely respon-
sible for the long time needed to
bring results. Therefore some
way of quicker penetration
was desired.
Lanolin, which is one of the
oldest toiletries, also has highly
nourishing properties and, being
lighter than cocoa butter, it was
thought that a combination Of

all massage treatments and espe-
cially facials, just before retir-

is allowed perfect relaxation. A
generous coating Of the cream
should remain on the skin under
the eyes, then with the same
movements, remove the cream.
Scrawny shoulders and throat
will achieve a more youthful con-
tour if the nourishing cream is
used daily. If more hasty re-
suits are desired, either hot COM
presses or a warm bath should
precede the application Of the
cream. In this way the pores
are opened which permits the
cream to penetrate fully and
quickly. Then too, the soothing
effects of the bath have allowed
the muscles and tissues to relax
thoroughly.

THE PROGRESS OF LABOR

The Labor day addresses of labor chieftains this year were marked by 2 note of satisfaction over the years progress True, never before in the history of labor has there been such a development as that which has ac-
 cempanied the expansion of the use of labor saving machinery and the more universal application of mass production. Where the labor chief tains seem sound in their economics is the contention that if mass pro- duction is not to provide us with an unassimilable glut of products con- sumption must keep pace with pro- duction; and as the labor chieftains see It. as well as an increasing num- Der of business and industrial heads also, consumption can only keep pace with production through a con- stantly enhanced buying power of the masses. It has been shown by statistics that S6 per cent of the buy ing power of the country rests in the hands of the working population. Let that buying power be appreciably re duced and every head of every busi- ness firm will begin accommodating gray hairs with worry, and dividends vii become as scarce as hens teeth.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS
 AND AUTOMOBILES

Time was when every commercial traveller who came to New Britain patronized the railroad. They not only had grips" but also sample cases" A large part of the baggage which went through the depot com prised the trade paraphernalia of these harbingers of trade.
 In these days try to find the con- mercial travellers who make this town by train. The railroads nowa- days are only used by the trade go- getters for long distance trips, not for trips which take in every town in a section of the state.
 You've guessed it: They do it with automobiles There is no more wait ing for trains and poor local service on a railroad doesn't mean a thing to the travellers. In the rear of their SuiS ttl ' plItS OI Stiil plt CdStS ana all they need for a happy trip; and when they have had their last con- versation with the last merchant they motor to the next town and start their monologucs all over again
 Thus more territory is covered in less time because waiting for trains is eliminated.
 But the new method has also af- fected the business of the local hotels, Commercial travellers used to be the mainstay of small hotels ir small towns. With this automobile system the travellers too often sleep in the larger town within district. motor to the smaller places during the daytime, and wind up in the larger town for a nights rest.
 Hotel keepers, baggage smashers and railroad managers dislike the system heartily.

AMERICAN-NADE DIRIGIBLES

The visit of pr. Hugo Eckener to Akron, Ohio in an advisory capacity leads to the expectation that the Goodyear company will construct one or two dirigibles that will be larger than the Graf Zeppelin. For several years the Goodyear company has been constructing what are termed baby blimps-of the sort Senator Bingham used to visit Wash ington recently-and the output has been uniformly successful.
 Since the Shenandoah went to smash during a storm in Ohio there has been reluctance in this country to construct any more monster dirigibles until there had been de- vcloped officers and crews able to handle them with distinction. The Akron dirigible interests have found it more advisable to begin on the lower rungs of the manufacturing ladder and uniform success has at tended these efforts. There can be little doubt, however, that the great plant is able to manufacture large dirigihles. That time has arrived.
 Employment of Dr. Eckener by the Akron dirigible makers must mean that every advancement in the science of dirigible- Reconstruction will be utilized and that the completed product will compare very favorably with the finest turned out at Fried richshafen. Trained commanders and crews are equally necessary, and this development alsP has been look ed after by naval authorities who have made consistent effort 10 be- come experts. Judging by the man. ner in which the Los Angeles has been plloted in recent years there seems no reason to doubt that we have been thoroughly training men in the management of dirigibles and that they have attained a high de- gree of ability. The time when great dirigibles will be constructed on American soil is not far distant, and expert crews will follow as matter of course.

mechanic we are at a loss as to whether the half-sized contraptions that threaten to inuIdate the land scape are marvels of efficiency or whether they are in a class with the toy machines that frequently menace the shins of pedestrians on the side walks.
 We do know, however, that the automobile in current usage takes up considerable space, and when one person is in them-as so frequently happens--there is a lot of space be- ing donated to the transportation of one human being. To find parking space, as everyone knows, is one of the most pressing problems of the age,
 The regulation automobiles need much space for the engine and the 'lnnards" that are identified with

 At this writing no one knows whether the half-sized affairs will ever become into general use. We are willing to suppose, however, that if the shorts ever become practicable that the present purveyors of trans portation chariots will lose no time in turning out new models of this type. And the smaller they make them the greater the contribution to- ward solving the snarled traffic problems,
