if room looks we'll and lacks the allur-
ing aspect of comfort. Many rooms are
so cold, although the furnishings are in
good taste, that the aspect is more for
bidding than welcoming.
It is a good idea for the homemaker
to leave the furniture just as it is after
she has entertained group CT people
who have enjoyed q conversational eve
ming or afternoon Note the way the
chairs are placed. Have the tables been
pulled out or pushed back and where
are the occasional tables in reference to
the chairs? There is an atmosphere of
comradeship which fingers afterward in
the room, and the arrangement of the
furniture has caught and holds it for
a while. It may be impossible to keep
the articles exactly as they are, but by
studying them, the home decorator will
find she can learn something about
coy arrangements.

THIs is unique manner Of letter
and word formation. 1t seems
as though the writer may be
seeking to give an impression
of herself which does not re-
veal her true personality. The delib-
crate manner of dotting the II WIN
a circled dot is in direct contrast to
the extreme simplicity of many OF the
letters. In some instances this SIM
plicity appears to be indifference. This
same contrast may be true in her
makeup. Seemingly she is naive,
friendly person who attempts to be
sophisticated and coolly detached. II
she could but realize that her natural
nature is by far the more charming,
she would enhance her personal appeal.
This affected nonchalance may attract
attention, but it scarcely makes for
confidence or trust.
The double loop in letters such as
ga" and "o' is interesting. There
seems to be tenacity OF purpose
demonstrated here that Is favorable
Indication. Seemingly, once she I'M
dertakes a project she will carry 1t to
completion. Obstacles, instead Of dis
couraging her, will only stir her to
greater endeavor.
She perhaps has many friends and in
Inmates. She will give them much OF
her time and effort that might be ex-
pended In other ways. Although it is
delightful to have large group OF
friends, we should not devote all OF
our time to them.
This writer has many abilities which
should be developed. Once she deter
mines upon a career her undiminishing
vigor will be an Unreasonable asset
She may not like the business world
Her aptitudes may be for artistic en-
beavers. AS she seems to be able to do
things with her hands sculpture may
afford her an intriguing interest.

Dry Skin.


Dear Miss Leeds have been read
ing about you for a long time and
like your column very much. Now ]
have something I would like to ask
you.
I am young man AZ years old and
have had rough skin since was q bsby
It peelS and falls OF like dandruff and
after I take q bath 7 feel as If I am
chapped. would like to know what
could be used 20 improve that kind Of
skin. @. r. e.
Answer should advise you to con-
suit skin specialist first Of all, as
such dryness Of the skin is not normal.
For a local treatment to relieve the
condition you viii find that an oil rub
following the nightly cleansing bath is
very helpful. The water for the bath
should be softened with meal water.
Add q pint Of cold water to q teacup-
full Of oatmeal or bran and let 1t stand
for 80 minutes before pouring on the
in an old handkerchief and throw 1t
into the tub.
After the bath rinse and dry the
body well and then apply the oil-cold
cream, olive oil or some similar SUBJ
stance. After applying the oil it must
be worked well into the skin by rub
bling, kneading and patting until 1t has
been absorbed. Simply greasing the
surface Of the skin Is not sufficient.
AS your skin Is very evidently In
need Of stimulation so that the oil
glands will function properly, should
advise you to take q cold shower and
friction bath in the morning. Rub the
body into glow with coarse towel
before taking a cold shower or sponge
BATH. Step out Of the tub and repeat
the rubbing. Once a week take rub
down with ordinary table salt before
the morning bath. II the body feels
dry and itchy after the morning bath
rub 1t with lotion made Of equal
parts of glycerin and rose water and
then dust the skin with pure talcum
or stearate of zinc powder, hope
that you will ind these suggestions
helpful. However, see doctor before
you begin local treatments.

.130 DRY AGENTS
To Be ADDED

Dry forces in the House yester-
day jammed through an approp-
ration of $543,37O to add 130
new agents and other employees
to the Prohibition Enforcement
Bureau. The vote was 118 to 36.
Anti-prohibitionists managed to
scuttle one proposal in the bill,
an allotment of $4,000 for the
bureau to use in spreading propa-
ganda for prohibition.
Faced by a point Of order, raised
by O'Connor CD, of New York,
Chairman Wood, of the Approp-
riations Committee, offered an
amendment carrying all funds
except the $4,000 item.
Amendments offered by anti
prohibitionists to provide that no
money be used to establish speak
easies" for entrapment of innocent
persons, to prevent tapping Of tele,
phone wires by dry agents, and
forbid use of any money for is
suing pamphlets on law enforce
rnent, were bowled over by the
cry majority.
Out of the $543,370 fund, it is
intended to employ 257 persons,
including ~130 agents. Additions
to the force would be: Three as
sistant administrators, four dep.
uty administrators, 48 investiga-
tors, "a instructors, IL chiefs of
permit sections, and several

COMMITTEE FAV0RS
TAXATION PROPOSAL
Would Tax Bank Of North Da-
kota's Property Gained by
Foreclosure

The senate committee on taxes ana
tax laws Tuesday recommended for
passage q concurrent resolution pro-
posing a constitutional amendment to
set up machinery to permit taxation
OF lands acquired by the Bank OF
North Dakota through foreclosure.
The proposed amendment would
authorize the legislature to provide
for taxation of real estate acquired
by the state or county by foreclosure
or tax proceedings.
A bill introduced early In the ses-
sion provided for taxation OF lands
held by the Bank Of North Dakota,
hut was killed because 1t was regard
ed as unconstitutional. The amend
ment proposed today would give con-
stituttonal authority to the leg1sla-
ture for enactment of legislation TO
tax such lands.
A second bill introduced by the de-
layed bills committee provides tor
advertisement Of bids for highway
construction work In the county IN
which the work is to be done. where
the cost is above 5000. The bids
would be awarded in the county, in
stead OF at Bismarck, as at present.
The state engineer would award the
contracts to the lowest responsible
bidder, subject to the approval OF
the county commissioners. He could
also reject bids, and II no satisfactory
bid is received, new ones could be
called for, OF the work be done by the
state highway commission.
Where proposed improvements cost
less than 5000, it would be discre-
tionary with the state engineer, sub
ject- to approval by the highway COM
mission, to execute such work or
allow the county to do the work or let
contracts for It.
