@. How does the popularity of golf
compare with baseball? T. p.
A. Golfdom says that last year the
attendance at major league ball
games was about II, 000, 900, while at
least 15,000,0O O games of golf were
played in the territory covered by
these leagues.
@. What were the draft ages in
the Civil war? !. w. p.
A. The soldiers drafted into the
Union army were between the ages
of 10 and As. The first draft law Of
the Confederate states. 1862, gave
the age limits as 18-35-thiS was later
increased to As. The act of 1864
drafted into military service all white
men between II and SO; those be-

A. He was born in New York City.
@. What will keep sleet from
freezing on the windshield of an au-
tomobile? G. G. D.
A. It is suggested in q recent bull
letin that the rear hook of the engine
hood be unfastened and the hood
raised slightly so the heat from the
engine will strike the windshield. If
the wind is blowing across the Car,
the use of a pasteboard box to carry
the heat closer to the glass is recon-
mended. For vehicles having inside
heaters, the suggestion is made that
a piece Of tire tubing be carried and
used to carry the heat directly to the
lower side Of the windshield. A small
bag IF salt fastened to the upper end
of the windshield wiper is said to
afford some relief, but the melted
salt forms a smear that may require
the use of alcohol for removal.
@. Which star is the farthest
away and which is the nearest? H. G..
A. The farthest known star is
Arcturus,. whose estimated distance
is $50 .rillion miles or 160 light years.

is Alpha Centauri, which is about 26
trillion miles distant.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Sponge Baths

Sponge Baths
Question: G.. H. writes: II am an
old man in my 81st year. ! am not
able to take a bath any more. When
I get into the bathtub I have no
strength in my limbs to lift myself
out. Also, when I lie down in bed
the dead pain comes into my knees
and keeps me awake. Is there any
cure for me?"
Answer: 1t is seldom necessary to
get into q tub to take a good bath.
The best way is to use a wet towel
and rub the body all over, using soap
if it seems necessary, but soap is
usually not required unless you are
doing some work which makes the
body dirty from the outside. Sponge
or shower baths are by far the best
kind of baths for any one to take at
any age.
e-building Foods
Question: r. j. K. asks: will
you please give me a list of bone
building foods, and will they actually
assist in the growth of bone in chill
dren?"
Answer: The organic minerals out
of which bones are made can be best
secured from the following foods:
Spinach, lettuce, cabbage, swiss
chard, turnips, asparagus, tomatoes.
celery, cucumbers, beet green's, figs,
lemons, oranges, milk and egg yolk.
Green Beans and Macaroni
Question: G.. v. asks: rs there
any reason why green beans and ma
caroni should not be eaten together?"
Answer: Green beans and macar-
oni make an excellent combination.
Nervous Breakdown
Question: L. o. asks: what is
the best known remedy for a nervous
breakdown"
Answer: The first thing to do is to
find the cause Of what you call q
nervous breakdown. AS soon as this
cause is removed your breakdown will
be broken up, and you will not know
where 1t has disappeared.

SCRAP IRON BUSINESS
HERE OVER 100000

The wholesale or carload dealers in
scrap iron and steel and other waste
materials in Washington did an annual
volume of business amounting to Sl,122.-
213 in 1929. it was announced by Ben
jamin Schwartz. director general Of the
Institute of Gap Iron and Steel, on
the basis of me first survey ever made
of the scrap iron industry by the Gen.
sus Bureau. The net sales of the whole.
sale scrap iron dealers in all principal
cities of 100000 population and over,
totaling SO cities, amounted to approx
imately $280000,000 in 1929 The re-
suits of this survey are expected to be
analysed and interpreted at the semi
annual meeting of the institute, which
represents over 80 per cent of the whole
sale tonnage, at Pittsburgh, during
October IL, 10 and ID.
The increasing Importance Of scrap
iron as a raw material in the manu-
facture of steel 1t was stated by Mr..
Schwartz. is evidenced by the fact that
in 1929 the iron and steel mills and
foundrieS Of this country remelted
39,120,989 tons of scrap, valued at
540,576,509 This includes all sources
of scrap produced by the steel mills
themselves and purchased from scrap
iron dealers in the open market.
In this city there were 10 wholesale
establishments dealing in scrap iron
and steel and other w-cte materials. in
1929, with an annual pay roll of S136.-
781. The scrap piles on hand at the
end Of 1929 in these local establish.
ments were valued at $40,435.

NEW EFFORTS MADE
TO CUT LIVING COST

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 12.-With
food losses in retail stores estimated at
nearly a half billion dollars annually,
the Industrial Research Committee OF
the National Electrical Manufacturers
Association will extend the investiga-
ton begun by Louis Ruthenburg, presi-
dent of Copeland Products, Inc, Mount
Clemens. Mich, and chairman of the
refrigeration division Of the National
Electrical Manufacturers Association, to
the losses of perishable foodstuffs IN
retail stores.
THE first investigation on WHICH
figures were recently announced" said
Mr.. Ruthenburg. dealt only with the
retail part of the process OF food pro-
duction and distribution. 1t was stated
at the time that the losses in perishable
foods on the part of producers, whole
SalerS and produce men would likewise
be tremendous and that this investlga-
ton would be extended into these fleldS
with view to cutting down the enor-
nous annual losses in foods which. If
conserved, would materially reduce the
cost of living.
Not only is the preventable loss of
-
distribution, but there is loss in the
homes of consumers that is even more
directly costly to the household than
these other losses. huge as they are.
There is no question but that with
proper refrigeration living costs of
families can be materially reduced.
These lower costs of food in the home
can be effected through several means.
First, there is the prevention of spoil
age. Then there is the prevention Of
loss from whiting. shrinkage or discol-
grafton of various foods, such as meats
and vegetables. Another is the econo-
mics correct refrigeration makes possible
for the housewife by enabling her to
buy larger quantities of food at time
because she can keep them safely. This
enables her to take advantage of favor
able market conditions.
Our aim is eventually to conserve
the food from the point of production
on through the channels of distribution
and in the homes of consumers. 1t can
safely be said that enough food is lost
in these channels to feed the needy of
the Nation in times such as we are
facing. Much of the food that now
goes to waste on farms and in orchards
can be saved and stored for later use
when needed"
