IT was indicated Members of the
commission, prior to the opening OF
hearings. will undertake to familiarize

weeks and that one member may be
sent to Europe to make a first-hand
study Of conditions there.
Chairman Howell said he has been
'swamped" with requests for hear

A colorful screen is an at- tractive and useful bit of furni- ture if you have a convenient, but intruding breakfact nook. Buy from your lumberman, three pieces of pressed wood, each 3-4 feet long, ? feet wide and 5-16 inches thick. The panels may be fastened securely to each other by four hinges.
 If you are anythinb of an artist you can paint your own decorative designs directly on the screen, first giving it a background of solid color. If you don't want to trust your own artistic efforts you will have no difficulty in finging in- expensive print reproductions in hunt, flower, animal, map and other versions which can be pasted on the screen, and the whole given a coat of shellac after the pastiny is completed.
 Pressed wood does not warp, is extremely durable and easy to work with.

PARIS STYLES
 By MARY KNIGHT

Paris - (UP) - Turn your eye toward the trees and watch the leaves as they begin to turn and fall, if you would know the col ors of your winter wardrobe.
 As the days pass the shades of brown and green, yellow and red will deepen into the rich, natural tones of bark and leaf and ground. This leaf idea belongs rightfully to Lesur who has been making careful study of for ests and the inspiration they offer to fashion.
 The only colors he weaves into these basic browns and greens and yellows are deep forest shadows of violet, gray and glowful reds. He makes wools with metal - '.Luizan" which has a twist of wool on a metal warp lacquered and forming lustres of glow-worms, and d thicker fabric with messy sur face called "Stracklack."
 He does a family of@ woolens with cellulose: "Sed," light weight material for dresses; "Linesed," woolen strewn with threads of cellulose in fine small sticks fine for tailored things; and "Legosed,' very supple wool with medium squares of cellu- lose.
 His lace wools feature square meshes covered with designs of

 Manners in children aren't im- portant, or at least the gestures we like to call manners are not the criterion of all courtesy.
 What is more important than manners, as such, is to ingrain in the child a certain sense of de- them to like people and think of others comfort once in while.
 Once a child has the right out look, his actual gestures won't bother us much. It is quite as poor taste for him to act suited and artificial before others, as for him to be rude and rowdy.
 If all the chairs on the porch are pushed to the wall and John ny has to go back and forth sev- eral times, he doesn't need to tip toe like felon every time he passes in. front of the ladies and utter an 'excuse me" as though he were about to kill their pet poodles.
 Avoid Unnecessary Apologies
 When children get into the hab- 1t of saying, II am sorry," every time they move, people get a bit tired of 1t. A child too apologetic and unuaturally contrite is not at- Iractive in the least.
 Every boy and girl should be taught, however, that there are some kinds of rudeness that are rudeness indeed.
 One of these is limiting. All the world dislikes a hlnter. All chil- dren will hint occasionally, and we often can pass it ,by with Q laugh, but it is well to have. an eye on small chaps or their sisters when they carry it to extremes.
 Then there is the child who chatters all the way through q movie, sits half way over on the next lap and won't. keep his arms or body still for a second. Nat ural. restlessness is to be expected but the child who chaws and chatters his way through show is being rude. He can be the best "bower" in town, the quickest puller-out-of-chair and the most contrite of excuse me" parrots, but if he is a nuisance in a public place he does not know the mean ing of manners.
 Important Matters Listed
 
 of fitness. Courtesy is real asset to the adult and, of course. should be ingrained early. But so often essentials are overlooked for su- perficial things of no great impor- tance.
 There are other, things to be in grained in the really well-manner- ed child. Compare a spotted ta- blecloth to neighbours trampled flowers, lifted cap to stare at the unusual or the malformed per- son; displaying snug manners when guests arrive, to deliberately sauntering in front of a fright ened driver or tossing ball into the street to startle him.
 Niceties are important but they are just that. Good manners in- volve deeper feeling and are bet ter calculated to develop self-re- spect and the liking of others. Copyright 1894, NEA Service Incl

Sister May,S Kitchen
BY MARY E. DAGUE

As each vegetable comes into season it's possibilities must be studied and carefully worked out if the .homemaker would receive full value and benefit from it. Vegetables provide an abundant, varied and altogether satisfactory diet at low cost this time of year. if time and thought are spent in their preparation.
 Summer squash is splendid vegetable, but it is often criticized as tasteless because it is thought lessly prepared and served. It's a good idea to use it in combina- tion with another vegetable or some distinctive flavor such as cheese on account of this sbland flavor. Combined with tomatoes and cheese 1t offers well-flavored main dish of high food value.
 Dclicatcly Favored Varieties
 There are several varieties of early or summer" squash, They all are good sources of vitamins. Cymling or patty pan," crook neck and marrow all appear in market about the same time and are all de!icately favored. These varieties which are very fine grained and tender seldom are peeled and the seeds are not re- moved. It is at this stage of their development that they are rich sources of vitamins.
 Instead of mushing or frying summer squash, try steaming it and serving 1t in white sauce to which cheese has been added. This dish is quite as desirable for chill dren as for adults. Serve it with crisp salad of fresh vegeta bles. brown bread and butter sandwich es and fruit dessert.
 Sauted With Tomatoes
 A good baked dish is made by putting alternate layers of sauted squash and tomatoes, seasoned with minced onion and celery and topped with grated cheese into a we'll buttered baking dish and baking in a moderate oven for twenty minutes.
 Tomorrow's Menu
 BREAKFAST: Orange juice,

Proper and thorough cleansing is the most important part of a very young girls beauty routine If she makes sure her skin is carefully cleaned twice day and that her cosmetics are of the pur- est, the chances are she'll have nothing to worry abuot for many years.
 The youthful skin should be washed with soap and water, cleaned with a good, quick-melt- ing cream and then patted with a mild skin tonic. Of course, if it has a definite tendency toward dryness, cleansing cream should be used first, then soap and water, followed by skin tonic and finally be thin coat of tissue cream. Remove surplus tissue cream be- fore going to bed, allowing a little of it to remain on all night. In the morning, repeat the treatment, removing every trace of nourish- ing cream and then applying foun- dation lotion and cosmetics.
 Cream rouge generally is most satisfactory. Use it sparingly and make sure that it's carefully blended. Get light-textured. filmy powder and always put il on neck as well as face and fore head. Lipstick should match rouge Don't use eye shadow in the day time and, if you wear it at night, remember that a little will suffice The same rule applies to mascara.
 Be sure to have a hand lotion Use 1t on arms and elbows as wei, as hands. Pay particular atten- tion to/ your nails. They should be filed and groomed at least once week and covered with neutral never bright red-polish.
