Household
Hints

When tablecloths and nap
kins become thinly worn add a
little starch to the last rinsing
water. This not only preserves
the linen, but it makes it look
like new again.
When washing table linen and
articles made of unbleached
muslin, for the first time, do
not run them through the
Wringer and you will find them
much easier to iron.
Apply white of an egg with
a small brush and it will re-
move fly specks from gilt
frames and mirrors.
Use the ordinary household
ammonia to polish the metal
fixing around the house.
To keep potted plants fresh
and healthy use the water
from the gold fish bowl. This
contains wonderful fertilizer.
Saturate a piece of cloth in
formaldehyde and place in the
closet or trunk. Close alright
and let stand for about IL
hours. The fumes will kill
moths and other insects. It viii
not leave any odor on clothing.

LoveIorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 18 years of age and my
boy friend is "a. I am very
much in love with him and he
is equally devoted to me, but
my parents object to my see
ing or going out with him. I
am continually getting into
trouble at home for seeing him
on the sly.
One thing, he is slightly
lame. He is a very honest and
decent boy. When we go
places, he takes good care Of
me and treats me with the
greatest respect. I've thought
I would quit going with him
so as to avoid the trouble at
home. I feel unhappy and ter
rible about it. He does, too.
Please advise us what to do.
We always have such a good
time together. RED.
Isn't it more on the score of
your youth than the young
mans affliction that your par
ents object? You see, my dear,
18 is pretty young to have a
serious love affair, especially
when parents object.
Don't see this boy on the sly,
abide by the parental objec-
ton for a year or so, and if at
the end of that time you're as
much in love as you are today,
you can make up your mind
that your feelings are more
than a passing fancy. Your
parents. if they're at all mod
ern, will respect your choice.

tune may be enlivened by black

small touches, and SO on.
Make Them Yourself
The most inexpensive way to
have several sets of accessories
is to make them yourself. If
you're clever with scissors and
needle, you may make velvet
hat and scarf sets, or cut them
from plaid Woolen.
But the easiest way is to
crochet or knit them. Crochet
ing is particularly easy, works
up effectively into smart shapes,
and is inexpensive.
Cotton crochet and knitting
thread makes smart things with
a dull finish, and it comes in
all good colors, both dark and
light, so that you can work out
stunning color combinations.
Becoming Scarf
We're showing a photograph
of a crocheted ensemble, scarf,
turban and bag, all made of
cotton, in two colors.
The scarf is a becoming
length, suitable for the f all
necklineS. The bag is nice
shape for informal and sports
clothes, and the turban is the
type that you can pull into any
shape that's becoming to you.
They're in a simple stitch, easy
to do, which works up very rap
idly. And the instructions are
free to all of you who send in
a stamped envelope, self-ad-
dressed.
For instructions for making
this ensemble, send a self -ad-

Declines to Give Up Other Girls
For Her

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been going STEADY"
with a young man for two years.
We have often talked Of mar
rying when he finds permanent
work.
Lately he has been correspond
ing with two girls with whom
he used to go, and he also has
the desire to go out with other
girls besides me. He belongs to
a boys club, where he met the
sister of the boy who started
the club. This girl likes him.
He is % years old, SO I think
he ought to know if he loves me
or if he doesn't. I have asked
him to give up either me of
those other girls, and he says
he won't give up those girls in
preference to me. What should
I do? ANXIOUS.
I'm afraid you're frightening
away this boy by your demands
that he give up all his girl
friends and go only with you.
Talking of marriage at % is
one thing, and marrying is
quite another, my dear child.
He is unemployed at present, so
that any thought of settling
down must be out of the ques-
tion. And when he declines to
give up his other girl friends for
you, there's really nothing to
be done but to show your good
craftsmanship and accept him
as good pal who has no i'm.

Exotic Purple
We happened to saunter in
90 a well known beauty shop
the other day to see one Of
Washington's smart matrons
having her nails done in an
exotic shade of purple, with
the polish applied right out to
the tips of the nails, over the
white part. This is said to
be the newest way of applying
polish to the nail.
A true clear color is what
you want in polish, no matter
what shade you choose. And
II you go in for complementing
your costume colors, here's the
rule.
For bright colors, choose
neutral polish shades, with a
careful eye out for red, and
with soft or neutral clothes,
brighter ones.
If your nails are ridged, a
deep polish accentuates it,
Expert Touch
If your hands are not your
most attractive feature, in
their shape, do not call atten-
ton to them by wearing bright
red polish. Choose a quiet
tone.
No matter how diligently
you manicure your own nails
at home, visit a beauty shop
occasionally and have them
gone over by an expert.
And above all, when you are
applying liquid polish to the
nails, be sure to see that it
hasn't gotten to a gluey con-
sistency. To be applied
smoothly, it must be thin.
II the polish is a vivid red,
be careful to see that you don't
streak it over the edge Of the
nails.

Secrets OF
Health
BY DIR. LOUIS E. BISCH
Many Remedies Are Used For
Eczema

Mduy hSAHCulSS are OSCU GO6
Eczema
Perhaps one reason why so
many remedies are in current
use for eczema is because the
disorder is such a common one.
And, of course, as might be
expected, many of these rem
edies are useless.
In the last analysis, eczema
should be considered an in
dividual problem; in other
words, that no two cases are
alike and what may help one
patient may be quite ineffec-
tual in another.
If this truth about the
disease were more often borne
in mind there surely would not
be so many So-called incur
able cases nor would so many
patien.s be deSpairing.
Another point that should
also be strongly emphasized is
that no skin disorder, no mat
ter what its kind, can be cured
by simply rubbing in lotions or
creams.
Toxic POisOns
After all, the skin is an
integral part of the body as
a whole. Therefore if some
thing is wrong with the skin
there is sure to be something
wrong with the system in
general.
Often the basic cause for O
case of eczema is a toXicity, q
self-poisoning due to sluggish
bowels or kidneys. Or the
inner disturbance may be one
of the nervous system. Or a
gland unbalance may be to
blame. Or some other disease
which lowers the vitality may
be in the making.
Every patient, therefore, who
suffers from eczema should un-
dergo a thorough physical ex-
animation. Without this
most important causative factor
may readily remain undiscov-
cred and no amount of what
might be terme ID surface"
treatment will then prove help
full.
There are cases, Of course,
where external irritation seems
to be solely responsible. Such
a one would be the continual
handling of caustic soaps and
powders in dish washing, scrub
bing and the like. But even
in these instances the general
health must be looked into if
complete recovery is to be
hoped for.
SuSceptibles
Eczema appears in many de-
grees Of severity.
The ordinary eczematous rash
is red and irregular and tends
to spread. Often does it be-
come scaly and in severe cases
the skin is tough and thick
like an elephants hide. Pus
may form and even crusts.
Bleeding is not uncommon. Al
ways the affected skin area
itches intensely.
Science has discovered that
those who are susceptible to
eczema are often similarly sus-
ceptible to certain food poisons.
Such persons may get a rash
from eating pork or straWber-
ries and the like.
The diet of all eczema pa
tients should therefore be care
fully investigated. Sugars and
starches have been held to
blame; even salt has been an
offender in certain cases.
Light Rays
The long-standing rashes-
and these may sometimes be
present for years-are. Of
course, the most difficult to
cure. Yet no patient should
ever give up treatment. And
what he must always do is be
sure that his organs are all
working at topmost efficiency.
The use of light rays is COM
ing more and more into vogue
and in expert hands such lamp
treatments may do a world Of
good where all other remedies
have failed.
In ordinary mild cases zinc
oxide ointment, or in the form
OF a dusting powder, is sooth-
ing and beneficial.

When You Are Happy

I know when you are happy,
You do so many things;
You fit about the little house
AS though your feet had wings.
With sewing, cleaning, baking,
It seems you never quit;
And. even when all else is done,
You take bright yarns and knit.
I know when you are happy,
Though others might not see
The half-hid smile, the glowing
eyes
These signs are clear to me.
But, ali! when you are quiet
And when your hands are still,
Across my heart from some dark

A wind blows, bleak and chill!
God made me wise and strong,
dear,
To fend your fears away;
For I would have you happy
Forever and a day!

MEEK. r.
Answer: A Well-knoWn dermi-
tologist recommends the use of
the pumice stone on the face.
But he also says that it must
be used with discretion, that
is, it must not be rubbed so
hard that it will cause the
face to become raw and bleed.
First wash the face with warm
soap and water, then dip the
stone frequently into the hot
suds solution and rub the face
just briskly enough and long
enough to bring a red flush
to the skin. The stone should
not be used any more often
than every other night, and
to begin with he recommends
only using it every third night.

STEEL
STOCKS PACE
RECESSION
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Sept. 18 G.N.SJ.
Pressure on the utilities and the
steels brought a sharp setback in
the stock market today, following
early strength, notably in the
gold mining and oil shares.
The utilities were the first to
show signs of weakness as con-
Solidated Gas and United Cor
poration were sold down fraction
ally.
U. S. Steel Weak
United States Steel was par
ticular weak spot, dipping more
than 2 points on volume and
showing no signs of aggressive
support. Bethlehem and other
steel shares also were sold in
sympathy.
Gold mining shares which
earlier in the day had risen
sharply on the further decline in
the dollar and the rise Of gold
to new high price eased along
with the rest of the market.
Homestake was the outstanding
feature of the group, getting up
to 1855, a new record high be-
fore meeting with selling.
National Dairy Hard Hit
National Dairy was a particular
weak spot selling down to a new
low for the movement on volume.
The selling was apparently due
to the uneasiness over the dairy
price structure.
Railroad shares were also slug
gish through the forenoon rise
and dipped sharply on the decline
with New York Central. Lacka-
wanna, and Union Pacific losing
from fractions to more than two

fighter who likes to fight. Give
him a man of his weight and he'll
