BROOKLYN, N. Y. - The recer1s

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Deodorants

Mary G.: Deodorants do not check
perspiration; they merely disguise the
odor. The patented preparations
which are sold for checking perspira-
ton act temporarily. When applied to
the armpits and ether parts. their eff

strain on the urinary elimination OF

Hay Fever?
Christ M, Pittsburgh: BY the time
you read this reply you'll probably
be free from any symptoms. 1t is
impossible for us to diagnose your
case through correspondence. The
fact that you have so many nose

JAMES SATKINS
 CASE CONTINUED
The Accused III at His Home on Highland
 Avenue

A months continuance was granted today in police court in the case of James Atkins, 54, of 404 Highland avenue, charged with ob- taining money under false pretense. Judge Edward Mascolo was inform ed that any attempt to bring MT Atkins into court within the next two weeks or more would imperil his life. It was stated that MT Att kins is under the care of his phy- sician for 8 serious illness. The accused was involved in an alleged scheme to have storekeepers pay fees for the examination of their scales or weighing machines. MT Atkins is said to have represented himself as an assistant to the mu- nicipal sealer of weights and measures and had the authority to inspect all scales.
 The case of Anthony Dukas, 3s, of 546 Washington avenue was nolled in court. He was arrested on a warrant about a week ago, charg- ing him with violation of the city ordinance, making a number of al- terations on his home without a necessary permit. The protested features of his building scheme have been removed and Building Inspector Patrick Carlin has ex- pressed himself satisfied that the spirit of the law has been abeyed.
 Edgar Williams, 49, of 359 Grove street had his case nolled. He was given hearing two weeks ago in which he was charged with an- moving some of his relatives. The court granted continuance of the case with the understanding that Williams would change his place or residence.

CITY WATER FOR
 TWO DISTRICTS
Work Started on Mains for Bucks Hill and
 BrOCket Hill

Installation of water main sys- tems in the Bucks Hill and Brock ett Hill districts started today. Men were put to work under the direc- ton of the city water department with Superintendent Thomas J. Fleming supervising the work. The Bucks Hill main will involve length of about a mile. Several streets in the Crockett Hill section will be given mains under the plan:
 It is planned to have the cost or the work financed out Of CWA funds. However, while approval or the two projects is practically as sured from the CWA officials the city today started the operations as the result of persistent requests from property owners and residents of both sections of the city.
 The Bucks Hill and Crockett Hill districts are old parts of Water bury, and, yet the people living in both districts have been without water to this date. They have petitioned the board of works many times for water service.
 The starting of the work or lay ing. the mains today was nailed by property owners and residents of the two districts with much sat- isfaction. Superintendent Fleming stated that tho work will be pushed ahead as fast as possible. In addl- ton to mains serving the many houses in the two districts, hy- drants will be set up at advantage ous points so as to provide addi- tional. The work is expected to take considerable time to complete.

l3,699 BANKS OF NATION TO JOIN
 INSURANCE POOL
That Number Have Applied for Membership in
 New Govt Deal

Washington, Dec 27-(UP)-A total of 13.699 of the country's 14,500 operating banks have ap- piled for membership in the gov. ernment's bank deposit insurance pool, which becomes effective next Tuesday, Walter J. Cummings, chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation said to-day.
 Under the plan, approximately 97 per cent of all bank deposits of the country will be insured in full, as the plan invoves insurance in full of all deposits up to $2,500.
 All banks affiliated with the fed eral reserve system, numbering 5,950, automatically become mem- bers of the insurance fund, while up to the close of business Decem- Der 23, a total of 7,749 non-mem. Der state banks had applied for membership.
 Practically all of the state non- member banks applying for inclu- sion in the fund.-" Cummings said. ''have now been examined as to their qualifications for membership and all applications that have been received to date will be examined before the close of the year.
 Directors of the Federal Depos- 1t Insurance corporation will meet this week to decide whether or not to make public where the list of banks which will become members of the fund.
 "While state non-member banks cannot be admitted unless they can Af 1 n6, frnr fA, I.nr ship-which is solvency-it is ex- pected that most of them will be able to pass the test. This has been made possible through the cooper ation of the Reconstruction Finance corporation. Millions of dollars have been poured into the non-member banks of the nation by the REC and purchases of the preferred stocks and capital notes of such institutions, thereby strengthening the financial struc- lures of such banks"
 According to Jesse Jones, chair an of the REC, 4,170 banks have applied for sale of preferred stock or capital notes and 3,487 have had applications approved and have sold capital to the REC aggregat- ing $697,400.000.
 Cummings said that the deposit insurance plan should have a stimulating effect upon business throughout the country.
 'In the first place." he said, "it should forever end the fear of runs on banks which are members. Moreover. it has returned large sums from hoarding, make 1t un- necessary for banks to carry such large cash reserves, free credit and relieve unemployment"

Especial to The Democrat,

 According to Constable H. M. Rigney. the truck was proceeding northward up grade, which hides automobiles coming from the op- posite direction. In his opinion, both drivers saw each other just too late to swerve their machines.

MOVIE STAR HAD
 FIRST ATTEMPT AT LEGITIMATE
Katherine Hepburn Tried It Out Last Night and Got
 Some Criticism

New York, Dec 27-(UP)-- Katharine Hepburn, starred on the legitimate stage in an English tragedy called "The Lake,, was re- ceived to-day with mingled emo- tional outbursts of joy and pain by the New York critics who reported the opening.
 For the most part, the reviews of the movie stars essay into the deepest drama she has attempted were favorable. If somewhat patronizing, and concensus was that she had played splendidly in a difficult field.
 Perhaps her extraordinary achieveme ents on the screen call att tention to her present limitations on the stage" was the manner in which some first-nighters softened their criticisms.
 "The Lake, by Dorothy Mass ingham and Murray Macdonald, centers in the life of vacillating young woman who has drifted into a love affair with married man, from which she is rescued by an eligible young bachelor. The tragedy enters when the second young man, whose sterling charac- ter she has at last come to appre- ciate, is killed in an automobile accident.
 With Miss Hepburn was a cast of notables including Frances Starr. Blanche Bates, Colin Give and Lionel Pape.

rates, without seriously disturbing the exchange operations on muni- cipal or industrial obligations, if offerings were made gradually.
 "The heavy demand for recent treasury offerings" the senator said," indicates clearly that the administration will have no diffi- culty in financing its present large- scale operations either with short term or long-term obligations. or by adequate tax legislation by con- gress. But at the same time, there is a possibility that many persons who subscribe for treasury issues but are unable to get them because of the demand. would be anxious to purchase some of the collateral behind industrial and public works loans. This would materially de- crease the burden of the govern ment as great credit agency dur ing the present recovery"
 The senator said that most of the collateral securities are now held by the Reconstruction Fi- nance corporation. Bonds and oth- CT collateral from municipalities will be received gradually by the public works administration as loans, which are already allocated, are rapidly spread out.

God give you the freedom to keep on repeating Your hours in the air giving Ire- land in song, For many today at this time are entreating Your great Irish minstrels their notes to prolong. The thrills you can get from "The Old Stack of Barley" Is nestled a balm that we might call our own Thetop of Cork roads and ''The Connaught's Mans Rambles" And another much prized is our "Old Garryowen."
