Luxury Reduces Public's
Name Carving Set

While many persons still persist in
carving their names in public places
and otherwise disfiguring property,
damage due to vandalism is on the
decrease in this country, in the opin-l
ion of many authorities closely in
touch with this situation.
One Of the reassnS for this is the
fact that many Of the leading thea
tiers. by offering the public luxurious
surroundings. have cultivated a re-
spect for choice things which curbs
the tendency to mutilate them.
The matter of upholstery on theater
seats specifically illustrates this point,
in the opinion Of theater managers.
Seats covered with mohair velvet or
velmo, as it Is widely known. ara
less frequently disfgured maliciously
than are seats covered with other ma
terials that lend themselves to carv-
ing, scratching and cutting. Theater
officials closely in touch with the re-
placement and repair problem, declare
that mohair velvet has reduced re-
placement costs not only because 1t
has extreme durability, ease of clean
ing and other properties but because
it Is not mutilated SO frequently.

son for this is that the dye penetrates
and is retained more effectively be-
cause Of the unusual nature of tho
mohair ibers. They are like human
hair in structure with central pass
age or canal which retains a certain
amount Of the natural Oil long after
the fleece has been clipped and woven
so that mohair has an enduring lusteP
and sheen not found in some other
fabrics. The wide variety Of colors
and the limitless possibilities Of design
are also interesting factors in favor
of mohair. More than 800 shades Of
green alone are available in mohair.
Use of mohafr for walls also gives
rise to interesting developments Of,
new plasters or other materials that
will be especially adapted to the fab
ric. Pictures can be hung more easily,
problems of heating and ventilating
will be somewhat simplified, as mohair
has value as heat and cold insulat-
ing substance as well as an acousti-
cal material and the texture, color and
general character of the fabric will
inspire radically new ideas and ac-
complishments in the art of interior
decorating. 4

MOHA|R ON WALLS
BECOMING POPULAR
European Uses for Fabrics
to Be Adopted in
America.

Treating walls with choice fabrics,
custom long in vogue abroad prom
Uses wider adoption in this country.
In considering various kinds Of ma
terials for use on walls, one Of the
first to receive consideration because
Of it's elegance, the wide variety of
colors and designs obtainable, is mo-
hair velvet. This rich fabric, long the
favorite upholstery for many reasons,
has been used as a wall covering
abroad in homes and public buildings
where elegance was a dominant note
and where certain special services
were required, notably durability, col
or-fast properties, ease Of cleaning and
ease Of application.
Mohair still gives these advantages
and in addition, it has several char
acteristics, especially suitable to the
modern age. One Of the most impor-
tant Of these is its property Of absorb
ing noise. These are the days Of noise
harassed and noise-conscious citizens
when campaigns are being waged all
over the country against unpleasant
and harmful sounds, and when the
value of relative silence or quietness
is becoming to be well known in terms
of dollars and cents and increased
efficiency.
Another reason for mohair's ac-
ceptance as a wall-covering material
is the fact that the vacuum cleaner
simplifies the task of removing dust
and dirt. The smooth fibers Of mohair
permit the dust to slide off readily,
so that vacuum cleaning leaves a
surface sanitary and fresh. The fibers
of the material do not flatten down,
and, of course, mohair is now treated
at the mills to make it unpalatable to
moths, so that one Of the old objec-
lions to the material on that score
has been eliminated.
From the home decorators stand
point, mohair Is especially useful, as
it does not fade as do many other ma
terials, provided, of course, fast dyes
were used in the first place. The rea-

Telephone equipment, neat in ap-
pearance, makes an appeal to the
users of the service, that would not
be obtained by battered, unsightly
apparatus. Telephones, bell boxes, ex-
tension gongs, cords. and other equip
ment in the Office or home should
present a well-kept appearance. 1t is
toward this end that the engineers
OF the Bell Telephone Laboratories
are working in their efforts to de-
velop the most efficient apparatus
possible and still maintain a neat
appearance.
Before telephone equipment is placed
in service it must undergo many tests
in the laboratories. 1t must operate
perfectly in order that every call will
go through; the equipment must be
finished properly so that it will be
considered an ornament: and must be
maintained properly. The manner in
which telephone equipment is finished
is an important item Of research on
the part OF the company's engineers.

"Inside" Information

If building or remodeling a
kitchen, make it oblong rather
than square, to save steps in
doing the work and to distribute
the equipment most advan-
tageously.
When receipt calls for brown
buttered bread crumbs on
top of any dish, melt the butter
in a pan ad mix the crumbs
with it before spreading them
on the food to be cooked. In
stuffings, buildings. and other
recipes calling for buttered
crumbs, this method gives
tastier results than placing dots
of butter here and there on the
dish.
The idea that juices in can
ned foods should be- discarded
is no longer accepted. Practi-
cally all vegetables except toma-
toes are canned in slightly
sailed water, and fruits in
syrup, in order to fill the can
and assist in the proper cook
ing of the product. During
processing, valuable minerals,
sugar. and other soluble ma
terials dissolve in the liquor.
Discarding it means loss of
food material. If it were harm
full the food that is kept in it
would not be fit to eat.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT
ISSUES WARNING
Take Care When You Skin Or
Handle The Meat OF
Wild Rabbits

w Mu 1NuWUAUS
Reminding hunters, market men,
housewives and others who handle
game, as the hunting season opens,
of the danger of contracting tulare-
mia, or rabbit fever, through contact
with infected animals, Dr. R. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health, advises sportsmen
and food handlers to take special
precautions in skinning rabbits and
preparing the meat for the table.
He said: rabbit fever, or, to use
the medical name, tularemia, is an in
fectious disease to which rabbits and
other small animals are susceptible
and which human beings contract
through handling the animals. The
disease spreads from animal to animal
through the bite of infected ticks. 1t
may also be spread by the bite of a
certain species offly. Human beings
contract the disease in two ways,
either through the infected animals
or through the bite of infected ticks.
AS the insects continue to carry the
infection over long periods, care
should be taken at all seasons to
avoid being bitten by them.
"The presence of the disease in
animals that are being skinned or
are exposed for sale can be dected
by characteristic appearance of the
liver and spleen which is dotted
with tiny white or yellowish spots.
The infection may be picked up by
persons who handle the game,
through scratch or break in the
skin, or it may be carried into the
eyes or nose in rubbing the hands
over the face, after they have been
in contact with the diseased animals.
"a disease that corresponds close
ly to what we now call tularemia, or
rabbit fever, has been known to
hunters and market men for long
time, but it has only been compar-
atively recently that its source has
been studied and its method of tarns-
mission discovered. The disease
has often been mistaken for typhoid
fever, which it may resemble at the
start. Sometimes, the attack begins
with a severe chill and with other
symptoms that resemble grippe.
In many cases an ulcer develops
where the infection has entered the
body and the nearby glands become
greatly enlarged.
''The disease requires prompt
medical treatment and the family
physician should be called for those
who develop symptoms that suggest
rabbit fever. The doctors diagnosis
may be confirmed by blood tests
and the laboratory of the State De-
partment of Health is prepared to
make the necessary tests and will do
so at the request of the attending
physician or the county health
officer.
''Tularemia was made reportable
in Maryland in 1928 and since then
So cases-3O in Baltimore City and
% in the counties, have been re-
ported to the State Department of
Health. There have been 6 deaths.
"Tularemia occurs principally in
wild rabbits. It has not been found
in rabbits raised in rabbitries.
Thorough cooking of the meat
destroys the germ. Thoroughly
cooked rabbit is accordingly HARM
less"

THESE 137 new Ford cars represent one
of the largest deliveries ever made to
municipality at one time.
q radio-equipped Ford scout cars were
traded in on this purchase. They had been
operated day and night for two years in

Their individual records ranged from
78,434 miles to l43, 723 miles with grand
total of 2,283,O 97 miles. The operating
cost of the 81 cars was 1924 cents mile
- less than 2 1/3 cents. This cost included

We've talked about boucle a
couple Of times recently, and
we StiI recommend it, for wear
right now on the street, if the
color is not too light, and for
wear all summer in any color
But there's a new type of
boucle that is even better from
now on through the summer
and that is a lighter weight,
called chiffon boucle.
A Cooler Weave
This new sheerer weave has
all the advantages of the stur-
der versions, and in addition,
it is porus, cool and lacey. T.,
too, has been improved so that
It will not stretch or sag. 1t

JuSt where it should, so thai
It viii apparently remove
pounds from a person who is
not quite slim. And it has yhe
happy faculty Of being suitable
for almost any daytime occa.
sion, from active sports to ar
informal tea hour. Many OF
the blouses for boucle suits
have been made of this chiffon
weight, so you're probably IA
miliar with it already, but i
is new for a whole suit.
Three-Piece Suits
We have had only one of
the several suits Sketched that
this fine fabric is available in.
Some Of the others have seal
1oped edges on the jacket and
blouse. Others have frilled
blouSes, and various other new
details. Some have long sleeved
jackets, some short. They are
all very smart, and further
more, they are remarkably in
expensive. They come in the
good paStels, such as green,
pale blue, yellow, pink, and in
some darker colorS such as
rust, brown or navy. We can
heartily recommend them for
the summer wardrobe of al
most every person.
