ToQueries
Are Given
Removing Superfuous
Hair-Applying
Makeup.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

MRS. c. B.-The only permanent
A'A method Of removing superfiuous
hair that know Of is by electrolysis.
Since you have only q few hairs that
are quite dark and coarse 1 would
highly recommend this method. In
the hands of a skilled expert the
treatment should not be painful and
it may be that one or two treatments
will be all you need. Next to remov-
ing them by this method would sug-
gest bleaching. Make paste CT
white henna or powdered magnesia
and peroxide, adding few drops OF
ammonia. Apply and allow 1t to dry
on the hairs. Remove with a soft
cloth and lukewarm water. Then
massage with little cold cream.
Doris-I agree with you that this
problem is not to be overlooked during
the Winter months any more than in
the Summer. Yes, continue the same
precautionary measures. This is par
ticularly important since you are
wearing woolens and sweaters. If you
wish my bulletin on the subject l
shall be very happy to send it to you.
Please inclose self-addressed,
stamped (3-cent) envelope.

S. R.-The only thing to do since
your brows were plucked too thin the
last time is to permit them to grow in.
This will mean that they will be some
what shaggy for a few weeks. In the
meantime try to pluck those that are
entirely out of line or wild" and that
you know will have to come out even
tuaily. Plain castor oil is excellent to
help stimulate the growth of the
lashes. Brush this on nightly with a
small eyelash brush, being careful not
to get this into the eyes. Yes, lashes
can be permanently" dyed. This
does not mean that they will remain
darker forever. The color usually
lasts from one to three months. There
are two or three dyes on the market
that are guaranteed harmless.
x x = y
H. F. T.-Do not use your makeup
too heavily and keep the lip coloring
well within the edges. Keep your face
makeup high on the cheeks, and
high-light the eyes instead of calling
attention to the lips. To help the color
to set" apply the lipstick lightly.
Allow to remain for a few minutes.
Dust lightly with powder. Then apply
another coat of lipstick. again very
lightly. This should make it quite
permanent.

ColdQuickly

Old Remedy
Preventive and Cur
ative Recommended
by Physician.
BY JAMES BARTON.

EVERYBODY knows the symptoms
~ of the common cold, because very
few have not had a cold once or more
during the year, especially during the
chsngeable weather Of Spring and
early Winter.
All over the world the search for
the organism causing the common
cold is going on because 1t Is now the
commonest ailment known, and with
its headache, running nose and feel
ing Of tiredness. interferes with the
work and play Of mankind.
Until the cause-organiSm or other
cause-is known the best way Of pre-
venting or warding of a cold would
seem to be very much worth while.
The first thought in prevention Is
to avoid contact with those who have
colds, avoiding crowds and overheated,
poorly ventilated rooms or public
places. Also avoid getting chilled
by wearing warm clothing during vet
cold weather. y
DR.. Bernard Fantus, Chicago,
states that the way to stop a cold
when it first starts is to heat the body
up to the point of profuSe sweating.
The value of heating the body lies in
restoring the lost resistance and
changing the distribution Of the
blood. 1t is only Of decided benefit
when applied early during the stage
of congestion-nose stuffed up"
This heat treatment consists of: 1.
Hot foot bath possibly with muStard),
or warm bath, hot lemonade, covering
with warm blankets and dry rub after
mild sweat, followed by remaining in
bed for as many hours as possible.
Hence best time to take or get it is
at bedtime. q The use of a drug like
Divers powder to produce sweating.
8. Cleansing internally by calomel at
night and Epson salts the next morn
ing. This is most important, as it

and removes waste substances from
the blood. AS these substances are
Of an acid nature, the use Of baking
S -one-half teaspoonful two or
three times days therefore good
treatment. 4. Soothing applications
only. such as cold cream or vaseline
should be applied. as the lining Of the
nose is very irritable at this time.
The diet is also important. Food
must be eaten to maintain strength
and help heat the body. but it should
be alkaline in reaction to counteract
the acid condition present. This
means more milk and leafy vegetables
and less eggs and meat.

BY EMILY POST,


DEAR Mrs. Post: Is 1t in bad taste
to send out engraved wedding
announcements after a marriage that
was witnessed by only the immediate
families?
Answer-Of course not. In fact,
announcements are the only messages
that can be sent when it is not
possible to invite people to the wed
ding.
Dear Mrs. Post: Must all attend
ants in a double wedding be dressed
alike? If so, I doubt that can take
part in my friends wedding since I
cannot afford to put much money
in a dress that won't wear after
wards, becsus who would want to
have a dress that seven other friends
in this small town happened to have?
We would meet ourselves coming and
going.
Answer-You cannot possibly be a
bridesmaid and wear clothes that
do not match those of the others in
your own brides group. Usually the
clothes of the two groups of brides
maids are chosen to look well to-
gether. but they are not alike. So
perhaps there will be only three
others appearing throughout the
season in "Mary's" dress. If this
distresses you, then the only thing
to do is to tell the bride the not
very fiattering truth-that you care
more about the dress than you do
about being her bridesmaid, which,
I'm sure isn't true. But that is what
your refusal would mean. OF course
If you can't afford to buy any dress
at all, then that would not suggest
your lack of caring for Mary. Do
you see?
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it necessary to
include my f1ance's mother at the
parties that are being given for me
before the wedding?
Answer-It isn't necessary to ask
her unless there will be other older
people present-especially those who
are friends of your fiance.
Dear Mrs. Post: 7 would like very
much to be married in a church at
least sc odd miles from home. and
to go a few miles beyond that for the
wedding breakfast. wonder whether
it is too much to expect my closest
relatives and few dearest friends
to come that far?
Answer-You really should be able
to answer about your friends better
than can guess. If they all have cars
and are furthermore able to spare
the time to drive the necessary SO
miles, then probably 1t is not too much
to ask of them.

at this season of the year, and the
annual controversy about the length
of cooking time for duck is on.
In my own home the battle is a
fierce one. The masculine element
insists that to cook the average duck
"a mallard. for inStsnce-longer than
II minutes is an epicurean crime . g.
or is it a crime against epicures that
1 mean? The feminine side counters
with the argument that no one in his
right senses would eat a duck that
was barely warm on the outside and
stone cold inside, with the flesh in the
unattractive purple hues of violent
death. The diStaff influence is firm
in the conviction that most people do
not like duck dinners-they only en-
dura them because a love of game "in
the raw is considered smart. Be that
as it may, few years ago we had a
"duck dinner" for IA people. (Aim
was good and ducks were plentiful that

n L MAY seem foolish to suggest the
undertaking of having furniture
redniched and to recommend a
Il schedule of furniture cleaning
and polishing just at this particular
time-what with all the Thanksgiving
preparations and the task of Christ
mas shopping ahead of us! But we
do feel justified in bringing up the
subject as it is an important one
at any time of year and especially
so just now. With the seasons en-
tertaining making its traditional de-
mands, and with out-of town guests
house guests and callers descending
upon us in endless numbers-iS it not
important that the furniture look its
very best? Perhaps all it needs is
a thorough cleaning and good brisk
rubbing with oil-or it might be be-
yond this redeeming stage and need
complete overhauling. In either
event it should receive prompt at
tention in order to make a pleasing
appearance during the holidays.

THEN, too, with Christmas SO near
it Is an opportune time to hunt
through cellar or attic for some good
antique piece Of furniture that has
been discarded just because of slight
breakage, scratches or scars. Send 1t
to the cabinetmaker and have it re-
paired and refinished for Christmas
as a present to mother or dad or
some other member of the family
the gift problem will be solved by
this plan in a sensible manner and it
will be an enduring Joy. Perhaps
daughter, who has recently married,
is secretly coveting that old Sheraton
console that is in the attic-or the
chair that found its way to the base
ment so many years ago because OF
the minor breakage or marred sur
face, but Is otherwise a real treasure.
Why not have it repaired and re-
finished and bestow it upon her as
q Christmas gift? Maybe there is
an old desk that is the worse for
wear but the head of the house in
sists upon it being in a prominent
place in the room-to your utmost
consternation-a refinishing job would
certainly end the discussion. II the
piece in question happens to be wal
nut and you would much prefer it to
be mahogany, all you have to do is
to tell the refinisher that it is q
mahogany finish you want-he can
very easily produce a surface resem-
bling mahogany by staining it with
burnt sienna to which some rose pink
has been added.

WITH its charm and beauty and its
w wealth Of historic association,
antique furniture is always appealing.
Design and workmanship of furniture,
Of course, have a great deal to do with
making home inviting and livable,

Plan to Entertain Friends at Real Duck Dinner
My Neighbor Says:

Do not water the plants in your
dish gardens too often. Water
only when thoroughly dry. Cactus
plants grown in these gardens
should be left dry for a few days
when first planted.
An iron kitchen range should
be gradually heated to prevent
the possibility of its cracking.
Scale a fish beginning at the
tail and Scraping toward the
head, holding it under running
water SO that scales will not
scatter.
To cover scratches on dark
colored furniture wrap a swab
of cotton on a toothpick and dip
in iodine. Apply to the scratches
and when dry rub with furniture
polish.

Symbols.

DASs CA@S0H SA 1sS " A@ASf
Symbols.
nUR minds try to take in the world
about us, to find meanings for
all the things we cannot understand.
This sort of thing has been going on
from the beginning. We cannot do
this directly, so we resort to the only
means at hand. We create a symbol.
II you can't understand the sun,
for example, you hken it to something
you think you can understand. That
is, you interpret that part Of your
outside world in terms of your pri-
vate life. The sun appears to you
as something warm, constant and full
of radiant energy called heat. This
suggests power and ambition. So a
place in the sun" becomes a symbol
for your place among men. There's
always an emotional experience going
along with this make-believe won
dering.
We have symbols for literally thou
sands of things. And always the emo-
tional attachment. A fraternity pin
for . college freshman comes pretty
close to being a fetish. The flag of
any nation is a powerful generator
Of emotion. 1t stands for a feeling
attachment. The whole process of
making symbols is process of rea-
soning by wishes.
There are two great classes of
symbols-those Of success and those of
failure. That's because experiences
of success and experiences of failure
follow one another In rather regular
succession. That's what life means
to nearly every one. So we attach our
feelings in symbohcal fashion to OBJ
jects Of nature, inventions and acci-
dental occurrences that happen to
come into our lives at the moment we
are about to make q philosophical
decision. And that's why we are
superstitious in the presence Of an ac-
cepted symbol.

WINFIELD, w. ", Jan. 10-A million dollar farm village built in the rich Kanawha river valley is the federal governments latest an- swer to the problem of stranded populatiors
 It is the subsistence homestead project at Red House, in southern West Virginia, built by the West Virginia relief administration and financed wholly by federal funds, for the rehabilitation of the un- employed.
 Nestled among the hills of Put nam county are 152 modern cot tages, all equipped with new housekeeping devices, which will be ready for occupancy this month.
 Each house stands on an acre of land to be titled by the occu-

employment in the 20 small shop, to be constructed.
 A central community fooG plan is planned, where surplus food car be canned and stored for the win ter.
 Small Hcmes At Profit
 Proof to private capital that good, modern houses can be built and sold to people of moderate means at a profit is one objective the government sites in construct ing subsistence homestead pro- jects.
 Already says Beehler, "one in- dividual capitalist and a group oi others have been down to see
The Daily Alaska empire., 1935-01-10

pants In addition there is a com munity farm of about 800 acres to be worked by all the villagers, and 1,127 acres of hin lands for pas lures and orchards.
 Soon there will be shops on the grounds of the administration building where some of the villag- ers may work.
 Investigate 1000 Families
 Privately owned factories also are hoped for-but the administration .las said little about this angle.
 Its an experiment., of course, ? avs William ". Beehler, state .'elief administrator ir whose name Is trustee the project is registered.
 We already have made careful investigations of more than 1000 families who want to move in there, and we haven't accepted one of them definitely yet. We are going to pick only the best"
 Most families selected as home steaders by the relief administra- tion will be those of destitute min CTS from southern West Virginia counties. Each will have a years trial, during which it will pay a nominal rent" and be required to earn a living by tilling the soil.
 May Buy Homes
 Each family will have besides the acre of ground, barn, COW, two pigs and some chickens. Each barn is constructed so it can serve as a garage.
 Families which prove worthy in the 12-month test period will be given a chance to buy their homes and land on notes payable over a period of 20 years.
 Red House-it takes it's name from the big red brick house which until several months ago was the sole building on the site-is the third subsistence homestead pro- ject in West Virginia. The other two are at Reedsville and in Ty- gart's Valley.
 It is the first in the nation, how ever, to be built and operated by a state, although financed by the federal government.
 Beehler says the Interior Depart ment is planning or building about 50 other subsistence homestead projects.
 The cihder-block houses at Red House, designed for a severe cli- mate, are costing an average of s2,150 each, including land and barn.
 The first group built at Red House-152 homes-has brought the governments investment there to $620,000 and 102 others planned for the future will raise the cost to more than $1,O00,000, officials say.
 950 On Construction
 Construction work employs 450 men daily, taken from relief rolls and given jobs at from '45 cents to $1.31 cents an hour.
 The homes are grouped around the old colonial type brick, IA room residence which is to be en- larged for administration offices, shops and other community needs of the villagers.
 A parkway boulevard is under
The Daily Alaska empire., 1935-01-10

construction, and there is a road leading from the village down to the river, splitting the large com munity farm. The whole project covers 2,200 acres.
 A natural gas 'e.--siler" well has been brought in. P. c. Rouzer, resi- dent manager, says it produces more than enough gas to furnish fuel and heat for every house. It will furnish a surplus for sale to private industry, and a second well is being drilled
