The article is based on q survey
made by the institute through its
members in So trade associations. The
analysis shows that about IS per cent
OF the huge sum would accrue to labor
in a program of plant modernization.
A program of this nature would
provide work for 100000 men for
two years, 1t was estimated. The

The latter would include housing for
1000, 900 families, rehabilitation Of

worth Of industrial housing and other

In its regular weekly review of the
industry, the magazine says the steel
market continued unsettled last week,
due principally to two factors-pro-
ducers and consumers face higher costs
because of rail freight advances, and
there is strong pressure for lower
prices.

Removal of Blackheads
Stimulation Is Important to Reduce
Enlarged Pores.
Enlarged Pores.

ing of the skin during this process
will leave scars for some time. After
the removal of the blemiSheS the
skin may be lathered again and
rinSed or else merely bathed in boric
acid solution. The latter treatment
is better for the sensitive skin. Cold
rinSes should finish the treatment.
In many cases, if the excessive oili-
ness of parts OF the face is cor
rected the blackheadS will go along.
Readers of this column frequently
tell me that they have tried with
out success all the remedies they ever
heard of for clearing their skins.
I think the failure in these cases
is often due to not giving any one
treatment a fair trial. 1t may take
months to clear away blackheadS
and refine the pores. There are
two things that must be included in
any program for banishing these
blemishes, namely, very thorough
cleansing and stimulating treat
ments and conscientious removal Of
each blackhead. Many girls neglect
the stimulating part. which can be
effected by the generous use OF cold
water several times a day, or by
skin tonicS. There are blackhead
creams also, containing ingredients
that are stimulating to the pores.

Observations the Varied Interests of Washington Womer
New Records Are Made
In Demands for Greens
To Meet Popular Taste
Dandelions and Escarole Help in Curing
Spring Fever-Used for Cooking and
as Salad Material.

1000 carloads of different green's
shipped to market last year, in ad-
dition to uncounted lots shipped by
truck. In both trucks and cars
were dandelions, mustard, collards,
kale, turnip tops, beet tops and sew
eral others, including sour grass,
which New York buys from Florida.
EVERY year brings better devel-
- opment of all these greens by
the gardeners and seedsmen, and
new and improved varieties are ap-
pearing all the time. Instead of
depending for turnip green's on the
tops Of turnips grown really for
their roots, market gardeners now
plant for green's the "Seven-top tur-
nip" which is mostly top and very
little root. Swiss chard is really a
beet which has been developed for
its tops instead of its roots. Col
lards and broccoli are also i'm
provements on certain branches OF
the cabbage family.
The wild greens" which you may
find sometimes in the farmers mar
kets, or even in your own backyard,
if you live in the suburbs, are often
delicious and a welcome change
from the more standard varieties.
Poke salad, purslane, portulaca, pig
weed and lambsquarters-all are
good when picked young and ten
der, chilled and tossed in a good
tart French dressing.
To cook greens properly, the Bu-
reau of Home Economics says, use
very little water and do not cook
them too long. In fact, try to
use no water except that which
clings to the leaves after washing.
Cook only until the green's are
wilted, in an uncovered kettle or
saucepan. Vitamin value will be
lesened If they cook too long, and
a lid on the pot means loss OF
chlorophyll - which is the green
coloring matter of the leaves and a
great source Of energy. Serve the
cooked green's with a seasoning OF
lemon Juice or vinegar end salt
and pepper.
ESCAROLE is a salad green which
- Is becoming more and more
familiar in our markets. 1t is also
known as "Batavian endive," and,
like all its sister green, leafy vege-
tables, is rich in iron and vitamins.
Combine it with tender. young,
Spring onions, raw carrot sticks and
some shredded lettuce and you
have a wonderful salad to help
cure Spring fever"
Spring onions, leeks, chives and
garlic are all good, healthful addi-
tions to the diet, especially at this
time of the year. If you meet op-
position on using the stronger kinds,
remember that shallots and leeks
are a bit milder and still retain the
food value of the others.
In Dickens day they gave brim-
stone and treacle as a Spring tonic.
A green salad will do you just as
much good-and afford you real
enjoyment besidesi

Fluid Needs
Revealed in
Body Cells
BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. d.

BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. d.
PSYCHOLOGISTS liken the cells
of the body to tiny fish. These
cells, like the fish, are only able to
act when their surroundings-the
fluids in which they exist-are of
the right temperature, are alkaline,
have the proper amounts OF oxygen
and other substances within them.
The blood is part of this fluid, or
water system.
Prof. w. B. Cannon, Harvard, In
his book, THE Wisdom of the Body"
says: "A noteworthy prime aSsur-
ance against extensive shifts Of this
fluid is the provision made of SEN
sitive automatic indicators, or SEN
tinels, whose special work is to set
corrective processes in motion to
prevent the loss of this fluid i'm
mediately there is any slight dis
turbance in the amount or quality
of the fluid.
IF water is needed, thirst warns
us before any change in the blood
has occurred, and we Immediately
drink some water.
IF the blood pressure falls and
the necessary oxygen supply may
thus be interfered with, delicate
nerve endings in a portion Of the
blood system send messages to the
brain center controlling blood pres
sure, and the pressure is raised.
eff, by vigorous muscular move
ments, blood comes back to the
heart in great volume so that the
heart action might be embarrassed
and the circulation checked, again
delicate nerve endings are affected
and a call goes to the right auricle
(the part of the heart receiving this
extra amount of used blood that
results in speeding up the heart
rate and thus Fastening the blood
flow.
"If the blood becomes less alkaline
than it should be and is altered
ever so slightly toward an acid con-
dition, the sensitive part Of the
nervous system which controls
breathing is at once made active,
rapid breathing follows and the
lungs quickly pump out the car
bonic acid and bring the blood back
to an alkaline condition"

Good or Bad
In Results.
Of Lending
Borrowed Things to
Be Guarded With
Greatest Care.
BYLYDIALE BARON WALKER.

A RTICLES which are loaned
friends and acquaintances are
often done so with a certain reluc-
tance, as well as with a certain
pleasure. For example, books and
umbrellas are most frequently lent.
The first because the owners like
to share the pleasures of perusal
with friends who have the same
taste in literature. What a pleas
ure it is to be able to lend wanted
book-provided it will be carefully
treated and safely kept!
AS for an umbrella, the lending
of it is not a matter of question. A
storm comes up while some one is
in your home who must leave in the
midst of it and may get drenched.
One is surely glad to have the ur1n-
brella to offer for protection and
does it graciously, hoping in the
back of the mind that it will not
be forgotten in the pressure OF busi-
ness or social activities.
And now, having presented the
good side of loaning articles, specif-
ically the two most common to
offer, let us see what causes re-
luctance to let friends or acquaint-
ances have the things. First and
foremost is the probability of delay
in returning the articles. Time flies
so fast that days and even weeks
may elapSe before the borrower
realizes it. Another rain may come
and the lender need the umbrella
as mucr as did the borrower when
she took it. In the matter of the
books, time must be allowed for the
perusal of the volume, but this
should never drag into months, as
is not infrequent. 1t puts the lender
in an embarrassing position If he
or she has to ask for the book.
Yet without keeping track Of the
book. it may be lost.
And this brings us to the matter
of care of borrowed articles. To
reloan them to others is repre-
hensible. The articles are pre-
sumably in the careful keeping of
the original borrower and should
at least be safeguarded. To say
nothing of the poor ethics of re-
loaning borrowed articles, there
comes into the equation the extra
wear and tear of the things under
the extra handling.
The lender may appreciate that
the person to whom a book, for in
stance, is loaned, is careful and can
be trusted to return the volume in
good condition. Another may not
be so careful. Bindings may be
spotted. pages may be thumbed and
leaves get loose. There is a very
real responsibility on the part of a
borrower to see that articles are
kept in his own possession and
treated with respect until returned
as promptly as possible.

under a pile of chiffon dresses and
pink crepe de chine lingerie.
LIVERY man would like to have
- room of his very own to which
he could retire and feel that he was
monarch of all he surveyed. He
would like to have a place where he
could have chair to fit the small
of his back, lamp cooked at the
angle that suited his eyes and that
wasn't swathed in flubdub shades;
where he could have few shabby
books that he had read so often
that he scarcely knew where the
text left off and his memories be-
gan. Above all, he would like to
have q sanctuary for his collection
of stamps or fish hooks or wood cuts
or whatnot. But unless he is of
the stuff of which heroes are made
and has the grit to fight through a
4O-year civil war, he never gets it..
No wife will put up with such
selfish foolishness in her husband,
and even when she is broadminded
enough technically to concede him
what she calls a "den," she moves
in the sewing machine and the
dressmaking dummy and throws
out his collection to make room for
the baby's perambulator.
As FOR considering husbands
"a taste in furnishing the house,
she laughs to scorn the mere sug-
gestion. Naturally, he has to look
at the walls and the draperies and
be made comfortable or uncom-
Portable by the furniture, even as
she does, but the only man whose
preferences and feeling" she con-
siders Is the interior decorators.
And If husband loves strong colors
and hates pastel tints, If he has a
plebeian liking for seeing what is
on his plate when he eats instead
of fumbling about in the dark for
his food, why he is just simply out
of luck, that's all. He doesn't get a
single electric bulb turned on or a
soft, easy rocking chair to sit in, no

aloud for 1t.
Wife also considers that she alone
has the right to dispense the hos
pitalities Of the home. The first
thing bride does is to put out a
mo trespassing" sign on the door
for her husbands friends and
spread the mat with welcome" on
it for her own. Observe in any
house that the guests are always the
wife's friends, rarely the husbands.
1T is the wife's family who camp in
the guest room, while the hus-
bands are invited for short visits.
Nine men out of ten would no more
think of inviting anybody casually
to dinner in their own houses than
they would of crashing in on their
neighbors, but O, woman never
thinks about asking her husbands
permission to invite q friend in for
dinner or tea.
