From now until the summer
of next year both the dry and
the normal skin require a finish
ing cream. Dry skins should
be protected the year round, al
though I know that in very hot
weather it is trying to keep
your face covered with cream.
If you have either a dry or
normal skin, and if you examine
it closely, you are quite likely
to see very tiny dots of red
flesh. They are neither PIN
pies nor acne; they are just
pores shrieking for proper lubri-
cation. Try using a finishing
cream each time before powder
unexpectedly after washing
your face with soap and wa
ter-and cleanse your skin with
a rich cream. In a weeks time
you will see that your skin-tone
is smoother and softer.
Cold temperatures and biting
winds can quickly ruin a skin
that lacks sufficient natural
oils if it is not protected by a
cream. After you cleanse your
skin thoroughly, apply a little
finishing cream that is rich in
protective ingredients. I shall,
today, give you the name of one
which meets with my approval.
1t vanishes nicely. leaving a
smooth, lovely texture for your
rouge and powder, and I feel
confident that it protects the
pores from the elements, as well
as dust and makeup.
This same lovely cream may
be used on the hands to keep
them soft and fair. I have
found it nice to use on my
arms before powdering for the
evening. Just pat on a small

thoroughly, so that no eggs
may be planted in the dust
gathered in corners. Wash
any walls and woodwork that
are washable, and 60 over all
floors with plenty Of soap and
water.
Throw away any old shelf
paper, and substitute new-the
old may have an egg deposit on
it somewhere.
Well CamOufIaged
Mama Buffalo Moth looks
like a baby.sized lady bug
tiny, round, and milk-chocolate
color, with cream colored spots.
They are so little, and so we'll
camouflaged, that they are very
difficult to see-but a good
place to look for them is on
the window side Of draperies,
for they fly in, through the
screens, and land on the first
likely looking piece of material
they see.
Kill Mama, and you have
saved yourself millions Of chew
ers. However, don't depend on
finding them on the curtains
for they go everywhere-I
found one once walking on a
tiled bathroom wall. Keep a
sharp lookout, and pounce
quickly.
Spray all your overstuffed
furniture with a good moth
disinfectant-if you will write
me I will be glad to give you
the name of one-also the
mattresses and box springs.
If, however. you are already
sure that your furniture is in
tested, the only thing to do is
send it to be fumigated by a
reliable concern. Hydrocyanic
acid gas is the only thing that
positively kills these pests when
they are beyond your actual
reach.
Consult Expert
Constant vigilance is the only
preventive. 1t pays to go
through all closets, clothes and
bureaus at least once very two
months.
Cleaning by steam or chemi.
Gals will help destroy the eggs,
and therefore all wearables
should be sent often to the
tailor or dry-cleaner.
If you are doubtful about the
degree Of infestation in your
home, I would advise you to
consult an expert from one Of
the exterminating companies,
who can advise you better
than I.
My one warning is-if you
want to keep anything that you
own, and if you value your be-
longings in the least-don't tenn
porize with the beasts.
They will have no mercy on
you if you show the slightest
bit of mercy toward them.
They're out for all they can get
and, nine times out Of ten,
they get it!

able damage had been done to
everything. Here is the letter:
Dear Betsy Caswell:
I am completely frantic. I
have found some little furry
bugs in all the closets and
bureau drawers, and a neigh
Dor tells me that they are Buf-
falo Moths. They are also in
the linen closet-and I did not
know that moths eat linen. Do
YOU think this is what they are?
# so, what can I do to get rio
Of them?
My friends says that they
will eat me out of house and
home, eventually, If I don't go
right after them. I found two
on the bed, but none on the
blankets. Could they be in
the box-spring? Please answer
quickly, I am so worried.
MRS. MORGAN T. -
If the little furry bugs are
yellowish white, covered with
black whiskers, and a straight
black whisker tail-then you
have Buffalo Moths, I am
afraid. Also, the fact that they
are in the linen closet sounds
-Ruffalo Moths eat
anything and everything.
Their main trouble is that
they do get in -FOUR box springs,
your mattresses, and your over
stuffed Misunderstanding quietly
away, until one day you sit
down, or lie down, and the
whole affair goes to pieces
completely.
Matching Season
The Buffalo Moths appar-
emily have a tremendous hatch
ing season at least twice a
year-early in March, and again
in September. Therefore, al
though you may have been
fairly sure that everything was
okay in March, your fond hopes
may be bitterly shattered when
you start putting the house in
order for the fall.
AS in a great many cases, In
coping with Buffalo Moths the
most expensive procedure is the
cheapest in the end.
Send all rugs, draperies and
extra clothing and blankets to
storage for the summer.
The general idea is that
things which are constantly in
use have no time in which to
acquire a good dose of moth
eggs-and daily vacuum clean
ing will keep your carpets safe.
But let anything sit idle and
unused-and the dear little
animals adopt it a; the most
perfect maternity hospital at
once.
When cleaning your house
for fall, and before putting up
draperies and laying down
rugs, wash all floors and base
boards with a strong solution
of soap suds and ammonia.
with a dash of a powerful dis
infectant in the water.
The Buffalos like cracks, so
be sure all the drawers in all
the bureaus are scrubbed the
same way, and also any in
desks, ETC., as the pests like
paper as we'll as anything else.

This pup was lost in the Du-
pont Circle vicinity last Wed
nesday. Mr.. Meier tells us she
is deaf-and that she weighs
about 80 pounds.
The Irish setter, originally a
red and white dog, was once
the most popular Of gun dogs.
In the early days of the breed
the red was Of a lighter hue
and bore slight resemblance to
the dark mahogany color that
is now their most important
characteristic.
The elimination Of white was
accomplished by destroying
puppies that showed white
markings and breeding together
only those that were Of the de-
sired mahogany red.
Despite the fact that this has
been carried on for years, white
markings on the face, the
breast, and the toes continue to
appear, which indicate that
white is the fundamental color
of the breed.
In the old days there was no
particular craze for coat or COL
oring. and no criticism was
aimed at dogs of a light red
color or those with white mark

100000 JOBS SEEN
IN 3O-HOUR WEEK
National Industrial Conference
Board Estimates II Per Cent
Employment Aid.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 21.-The
National Industrial Conference Board
today estimated an average 30-hour
week would increase employment In
manufacturing industry by II per
cent, or approximately 100000 work
ers, taking September Of this year as
a basis.
The boards survey shows that for
employees at present engaged such a
reduction by law would result in re-
duced hours, increased hourly earn
ings, stationary money income per
week and an increased cost o. living.
For the manufacturers, the survey
showed, it would result in smaller
output per man-hour, increase In
labor cost per man-hour and a larger
increase in labor cost per unit of
product.
For the worker" the board states
in a summary, current proposals
contemplate such an increase in hour
ly rates as will keep the weekly pay
envelope at the same point. The en-
ployed worker is to get more leisure
and to keep the same money income.
When, however, the general advance
in labor costs had raised prices all
along the line, he would find that his
money would buy less goods; that his
real wages had declined"
