brings TO her work an amazing
background based on laboratory ex-
perience of the inherent and rel

In the great cooking school,
which she will conduct under the
auspices OF the Herald, Nov. 3 TO 7,
Mrs. Ihrig will preside in a modern
kitchen in which she will demon
strate the actual preparation and
cooking OF vegetable items. and
explain n detail the values TO be

public appearances in her chosen

her personality so colors her in

Answer-It is quite likely that the
excessive itchiness is due to your hair
being SO long and thick. It would be
a good plan to have your hairdresser
thin out your hair and cut it a little
shorter. 1t is not necessary these days
to suffer from the burden of a thick
mop of hair, which is hard to take care

to remove the dust and oil. 1t is sur
prising to see just how much dust and
CRIME accumulateS on the hair in one
day. Wash 1t once a week with mild

several good ones on the market. Use

Real estate folk usually calculate the
value of a dwelling by the room. That
IS. one apartment house may be sac
a-month building and another $50
a-month one. BY that Is meant the
rooms in two buildings bring sac ana
$50 a month, respectively.
Rent is governed first Of all by the type
and class of the neighborhood OF
course. Yet two houses may stand
side by side, and one may bring higher
prices than the other. This wiz be
true certainly If one is a modern
structure and the other an obsolete one
without modern conveniences.
There are some obvious details that
contribute to rental values. Elaborate
and spacious lobbies add to rentals,
as do all-night elevator service, SWITCH
board service, automatic refrigeration,
incarceration and other services and ap-
pliances.
The number Of rooms may influence
the price apart from price per room.
This Is especially true If one tries to
get a large apartment where small
apartments are the rule. The story
and exposure are also factors con-
sidered.
AS a rule there is a premium on hv-
ing high up away from dust and noise.
Ground floor apartments are cheap
est, and pent house apartments most
expensive. Nearly every one desires
southern exposure, and outside rooms.
Courtyard rooms are in little demand,
and so are cheaper.

cleaned. You know you want to go

I get this room set I'm going to run

:'Not already? It can't be very well

But it was well done. Mother was
pleased to say so. "And now that you

such a careless boy. Give his room a
good cleaning, too"
"But, mother, hurried UP to get my
room done SO could go out with Mil
lie. The nuts will be all gone if have
to do Bobs room. Why doesn't he do
his own room? He will get the nuts
and I'll get none just because he Is
lazy and worked hard"
"You have all day to gather nuts.
work all day long for both of you and
never say word. The first time I ask
you for help you begin to complain.
All right. Go ahead and gather your
nuts. I can do your brothers room
along with the rest. hope some day
you will learn to be little unselfish."
How about Bob?"
"Never mind Bob. We won't talk
about it any more. Go along and
gather your nuts"
Could anything be more unfair? First
the child worked hard at top speed in
order to save time for the outing she
counted on while her brother went
scott free. He growled so much when
asked to do anything that his mother
/ avoided the asking. But the willing
child was imposed upon, her day spoiled.
Labor ought to be rewarded promptly.
If the child finishes the task in good
| time, instead Of saying as so many times
we say, Nov do some more" say,
What would you like to do with your
child to work well and rapidly. If the
reward for work well done is more
! work, who will try to finish promptly?
Many a lazy child would speed up
tremendously II he knew that by get
ting his stint done in good time he
would be free to do what he wished to
do Experience has taught him that
getting done ahead of time brings no
Joy. If it is in school he has to wait
and mark time. The teacher will not
allow him to finish his Job and read
the book he has in his desk. He must
wait for the slowest child in the room.
In sheer self-defense he becomes the
slowest child in the room.

on the Alaskan trip that ended with
