FIGURES GOSSIP
AIDING SLUM FIGHT
Cleveland Surveys Are Ex-
ampIes of Information That
Can Be Obtained.

CLEVELAND, July 13.-The statis-
tician, modern counterpart of the vii
lage gossip, who knows all his neigh
bors' business, number of rooms in his
house and the rent he pays, may prove
to be key man in the fight OF Amer
lean cities upon the slum.
The analogy between the statistician
and the gossip is drawn by Howard
Whipple Green. director Of the Cleve-
land Health Council and himself q
statistician. who points out that in the
modern city it is impossible for any
gossip, no matter how energetic. to
know all about his fellow townsmen.
AS a demonstration of the value of
exhaustive data such as the modern
gossip" can gather and file away, Green
has completed two surveys in Cleveland
a study of population characteristics
and trends and real property inven-
tory.
Gives Active Data.
These inventorie3, Green points out
for the frs tine give to the real estate
indust~-- ,.tcuratc data on supply and
Odd. such as other businesses have
had from thei. charts and market
curves for some time.
The information is compiled bv CEN
su5 tracts because these small units are
constant census after census, and con-
sequently afford a basis for long-range
comparison.
Most of the data is obtained from
existing records-post office reports
construction reporting services, city and
county records. and public utilities-but
post Office employees made more than
100000 entries upon, 80, 600 block rec
ord cards for part of the survey.
From this information, compiled ir
convenient form, it is possible to tel
how many persons live in each tract Of
approximately 10 acres, together with
their ages, sex, color, nativity. citiDn-
ship, literacy. marital condition, occu-
pations and size of families. Also it /;
possible to tell whether an individual Is
employed, the type of his dwelling anC
how much it is worth if he owns 1t OF
how much rent he pays If he is a tenant
and whether he owns an automobile OF

Boston's Protest Against Increase.
BOSTON, July 13 (P.-The Interstate

against a proposed increase in wood

posed rates.

demolitions, foreclosures and forced
sales by type of building and lot.
On maps each murder, juvenile de-
linquency. tuberculosis case and well
fare relief case Is charted for q period
of years.
Thus, pointing to his maps. Green
can show that one area of 100000
population had 210 murders in eight
years, 164 vice resorts, 48 juvenile de-
linquents per 1000 boys, SO infant
mortalities per 1000 births, 658 deaths
from tuberculosis and 4.935 relief sub
jects, while another area Of the same
population had one murder, one vice
resort, six delinquents, 80 infant NOR
talities, Sc tuberculosis deaths and 119
relief cases.
Such figures, Green says, will show
whether a city has the crime, vice,
disease and poverty Of slums and where
they are.
Gives storm Warnings"
Or they will show that while one
area was decreasing % per cent in
population, another was increasing 172
per cent Such figures, he believes,
are storm warnings" to investors in
dicating that certain areas in their
existing condition have become un-
profitable because they are undesirable
for living.
Other figures from his maps and
charts are of particular benefit in plan
ming rehousing projects.
For instance, one Of the lowest
economic areas in Cleveland with a
population Of 22.230 has monthly
rent bill Of $133,588. A given rehous-
ing project therefore would be insult
able for accommodating the existing
population unless the total rent con-
formed closely to existing rents. From

One type of makeup predomin- ated at the inauguration parties.
 It was the one that plays up the lips and eyes and treats the cheeks sparingly to rouge.
 Lipstick was used freely by the majority of women. Medium, clear red seemed the favorite. Even in the evening, rouge was not notice- able on many faces. Rather, 1t was conspicuous for it's absence. The very red lips and the delicately made-up eyes made faces look a bit more intriguing and less ob- vious than the too-pink cheeks that have been seen at times.
 Rosy powder instead of rachelle gave healthy look to cheeks. Ob- viously many women use a powder base cream for that nice, moist look of youth appeared on many faces that were no longer young.
 Eye makeup must be skillfully done. A touch of cream of the right shade over the lids always lends glamor. Few heavily mas caraed eyes were seen.
 A thin line for the eyebrows seems to be the thing, even if Garbo has gone home. Many women now have those far spaced eyebrows that to anyone who knows beauty mean only one thing they have plucked out some of the eyelashes nearest the nose. However, there is no gainsaying that this does give 8 placid, pleas ant expression, a boon in these hurried days.

It is recognized that to have sound teeth and keep them sound
 it is necessary to eat the foods that aid in their development, and 1t is
 also necessary to give them the proper care. In the past. too much
 reliance has been placed on the
 tooth brushing as a means of pre- venting dental disease.
 It is now known that tooth
 brushing alone will not. keep the
 mouth in healthy condition;
 plenty of milk, vegetables, fruits
 and other tooth building" foods
 are necessary in the diet. But since mouth care is important, one should learn to do it properly. Persons who are interested in
 healthy frequently ask what denti- frice is best in caring for the mouth. The only logical answer to such question is to state that a tooth paste, powder. or mouth wash can do no more than help in the mechanical cleansing of the teeth.
 Regardless of dental advertise r. ents, dentifrices cannot cure or
 prevent any dental illness.
 Some manufacturers claim that their product neutralizes mouth acids, and others assert that their product destroys germs. A satc dentifrice. cannot neutralize acidity of the mouth except for a few sec- onds, and can kill but a few germs very few in comparison with the number in the mouth.
 With regard to this. recent is- sue of the Journal of the Ameri- can Medical Association stated: Normal persons do not require antiseptics or astringents for rou- tine application to the oral cavity. Notwithstanding these facts, man. ufacturers of mouth washes of va- rious types, including acids and al-
 kalis, astringents and non-astrin- gents, of greater or lesser antisep- tic value have, by astute advertise tudes of people to the routine use ing campaigns, lyed great multi of such rinsing solutions"
 Pyorrhea and inflamed condi- tions of the gums are usually due | to some dental defect such as im- proper occlusion or to some sys- temic condition. Therefore, why waste money on washes and
 gargles that cannot cure them? To protect the public. the Coun- ell on Dental Therapeutics of the American Dental Association in- vestigates the advertisements and claims of all advertisers of dental
 products, analysing the contents

office where he worked. Oh, why did girls from rich homes have to do such things? Why couldn't they leave the jobs for those who needed them? Why couldn't they leave the jobs alone and men who were engaged to other girls!
 But Rolf told me he wasn't there. He said was mistaken" Janet reminded herself. Had he? Had Rolf really put that denial into words or had he only said something that she took to mean the same thing? Janet wasn't sure. She couldn't remember about that.
 She sat staring down at the pic- ture of this other girl. The ache in Janet's heart was almost like physical pain. She had forgotten everything except that Rolf did not want to be engaged to her any more. She had forgotten that she and Mollie Lambert were going to the" movies.
 Mollie, before the mirror, added a final, nasty dab of powder to her nose and turned. "Just as soon as I get my hat on now she said, the sentence dying away unfinished. She picked up a brown hat with a green feather on 1t and pulled it down over her head.
 "Mollie"
 The other whirled.
 "Mollie, want you to look at this."
 Look at what?"
 She crossed to Janet's side. It was the picture of Betty Kendall. smiling out of the newspaper page, that Janet held up.
 Did you ever see her?' Janet asked

Mollie drowned. Don't think so. Whats her name?' Then she read aloud, Betty Kendall" For an instant Mollie was silent, pursing her lips. All at once she said, "Oh-!" with a swift intake of breath as though she meant to suppress the exclamation. Where did you see herr" Janet persisted.
 I'm not sure," the other girl said slowly. "I--well, to be honest, she looks something like that girl I saw Rolf Carlyle with the other night. But maybe I'm mistaken. I wouldn't want to swear to it-'
 "That's who it is,' Janet said quickly. She's working in the same office where Rolf works. Her uncle is vice president of the company"
 "Vice president? Then what's she working for?"
 "Because," Janet smiled bitter ly, tits fashionable to work these days. All the society buds are doing it. See,-that's what the paper says. Oh. you're right about it, Mollie. That's the grill"
 Mollie Lambert was older than Janet. She pumped down beside

Jacks voice was speaking hur- riedly and low. Sue realized that he didn't want anyone to hear what he was saying.
 "sue. can you hear me, dear?" he asked.
 "Yes. yes. perfectly" she answered. GO ahead. Where are you?"
 'I'm at home .. at Dads, I mean. I'll explain later, l could mt get away. And Sue, would you mind His voice paused. Sue knew that someone must have en- tered. Just a minute" he said.
 When he resumed he gave low whistle. False alarm. Sue come in and we'll talk things over. Can you come right away, sweetheart?
 "Yes yes .. I'll be there right away" she answered.
 But she didn't hurry so joyfully this time. Somebody-she didn't remember whom-probably either Grace or Nancy-had once told her never to grow too attached to anyone or anything.
 But that sort of philosophy couldn't apply to love. If it did then love didn't matter. It wasn't important. It had to stand a few strains. It was better to know if it would break or merely bend.
 She was still thinking about it as she went up the broad stone steps of the old brick house where Judge Thornton lived.
 She rang the bell twice before 8 maid, correct in a lavender dress with an absurdly small white apron and cap admitted her.
 "What is it, please ?" she asked Sue.
 "I'm Sue Thornton" she an- swered, aware that her voice cool ed as she did so. My husband asked me to come"
 "Oh, yes, Mrs Thornton. Will you wait a minute, please?"
 The maid returned in minute followed by Judge Thornton.
 "I'm sure you will understand the wisdom of this move," he ex- plained. We will be able to care for Jack much better here than you could possibly do at your home. He will be much more com- fortable. Naturally 1t isn't wise for you to come to see him at odd hours, but we'll work out sched- ule so you may Sc him for a few minutes every day"
 You mean that you are trying to separate us, don't you?" Sue asked him slowly. "You don't want me in your family-I under stand perfectly. But-may I see him now?"
 He's resting. If you care to
 "No, won't come back! Not ever when I leave this time!" Sue exploded. "I'm tired of being in suited. But I'm going to see Jack whether you want me to or not!"
 She slipped past the mans re- straining hand and ran up the stairs.

I was delighted yesterday by d telephone call from one of the most charming women it has been my lot to meet--Mrs. Meredith, the mother Of Sally's new husband, asking for an appointment. asked her to come around tea time which she did, looking the true aristocrat which she is!
 "I couldn't resist coming north to be here when Dick and Sally ar- rive from Europe" she said. Wont it be wonderful to have them back? can hardly wait."
 "I have done pretty well with the beauty treatments you pre- scribed," she said later, over cup of tea. "Even my husband who is a perfect example of conservative southern gentleman says that beauty aids have their place and that a little makeup applied with the art that conceals art is not so bad. I tell him that age is merely a state of mind and that if we do our part we can at least look pass
