C. C. C. More than 100000 youths
have spent the past two and one-half
years clearing forests to protect them
against fire, planting trees, building
dams in creeks and small streams to
protect against erosion, putting the
public domain in better order. The
cost has run about $3.50 000,0 a year.
A. A. A. For three seasons farmers
were paid about $500 900 900 a year for
not producing on portion OF their acres.
Now they are going to receive about the
same amount to practice soil conserva-
ton. Critics say that the new farm plan
is the old one in a disguise. The future
will show that this is not strictly true.
Farmers are to be paid for positive per-
formance in improving their land use
and in protecting against erosion. Con-
servationists believe that this develop
ment may be all-important for the
country.
p. w. A. About $500, ,000, 900 out of
the public works billions is finding its
way into flood control projects, mostly
of the big dam type.

Travel TIPS.

There's nothing wor1e than not TAX
ing enough clothes when you travel
unless it is taking too many. We know
a man who discovered. on arriving for
week at a Summer lakeside cottage,
that he had packed seven pairs Of
trousers. He actually needed and used
only two. But he could have used a
half dozen more shirts.
The best way. if you are not sure Just
what you will need, is to take 'foun-
dation" clothes. around which you can
build several changes and variations.
Take plenty of linen, such as shirts,
underclothing, handherchiefs, socks,
etc Resist the impulse to take along
third pair of shoes-unless you are
sure you are going to hike in the
woods or dance formally.
If you are a guest on a motor trip,
be especially careful that you do not
take more luggage than the rest Of
the party. This crowds the car and
makes every one uncomfortable. Best
rule to remember is, you can wear
only one ensemble at a time. Figure
your wardrobe on this basis, times the
number of events in the number OF
days you will be away.

Dorothy Dix Says
Occasionally May-December Marriage
Will Prove Real Success.

Answer-I agree with you that 1t Is
just as important for wives to keep up
the courting and love-making after
marriage as it is for the husbands to
do so. Also think that the wife who
expects her husband to take her af-
fection for granted makes Just as big
a mistake as the husband does who ex.
poets his wife to be mind-reader
enough to know that he loves her and
thinks her the greatest woman in the
world, although he never gives her a
kiss that isn't like a flabby pancake
on her cheek or pays her a compli-
ment.
livery man has plenty Of things to
worry him whether it is jumping
stock or a jumping stock market;
whether it is broken fences or bank
rupt business; whether it is lazy hands
or a cantankerouS boss. There is no
manner of doubt that 1t would cheer
him up and make him feel that all
his labor was worthwhile if his wife
would meet him with a glad, sweet
smile and tell him that in her eyes no
hero had anything on him in courage,
devotion to duty and in the grit with
which he met the trials of life, and
that she thanked God on her knees
for having given him to her for q
husband.
But how about it If the husband
comes home grumpy and cross and
grouchy, and if he kicks the cat as
soon as he opens the door, spanks the
baby, finds fault with the dinner and
never even notices how hard his wife
has worked taking care of the children
and making comfortable home?
In order to be kissed you have to
keep yourself kissable In order to be
loved you have to be loVable. No
woman is going to kiss husband who
comes in looking like craven image
and who turns the back of his head TO
her lips. Maybe If you would be a
little more responsive your wife would
be little more demonstrative.
Certainly husband and wife should
settle their own differences without
any one refereeing their fights If they
did, lot more of them would end in
draw instead of a divorce. Family
squabbles should be strictly private.
DOROTHY DIX.
DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Several
days ago, through mistake, I
opened one of mothers letters think
ing it was mine. To my horror 7
found it was from strange man, who,
1t seems, is her lover. Since that mo-
ment I have been nearly crazy. I
cannot stand to think that my mother
is that kind of woman In my panic
burned the letter. telling no one.
Shall I tell my father? Shall I de-
mand an explanation of my mother?
Or shall keep silent? WORRIED.
Answer-Don't tell your father, but
go to your mother and let her see how
your knowledge Of her wrong doing
has shattered all of your ideals and
broken your heart. Surely if anything
can touch her and turn her away from
the evil cour-e she is pursuing it will
be that. Psychologists tell us that
nothing so completely wrecks the
morale of children as to lose their
faith in their mothers.

Sunburn
Irritation
Best to Cleanse With
Pure Oil or
Cream.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

|ONcE the skin has been allowed to
burn, the desire to bleach 1t to
gardenia whiteness seems to draw like
a magnet. It's one of those inexplain-
able feminine paradoxes.
The right thing to do, of course, Is
to apply a soothing ungent or OIL or
cream. Choose preparation that has
a two-fold function: that draws the
pain and sting out of the skin, sooth-
ing and cooling it and at the same
time seeps deep anc softens. Badly
burned skin has a way of turning
leathery. Even when the skin peels
the thickened, leathery quality re-
mains. This thickening you know is
Natures way of arming against abuse.
One of the commonest mistakes
made is: the use of soap and water
on newly sunburned skin. At first
the water seems to cool and allay the
irritation. Actually it only irritates
more.
Cleansing cream is the thing to use
for cleansing burned skin. Or pure
olive oil. And both application and
removal should be ever so gentle.
Another thing to avoid for a few
days is powder. Very often powder,
particularly the heavy, clinging va
riety. sticks to the skin forming very
painful crust. Cream or oil, then, for
few days and if you look bit greasy
and messy, well that's the penalty of
disobeying orders.
The time to start the bleaching pro-
cess is when the skin Is ready, not
when you are. Wait until the skin
has Settled" which is our way of
saying when the sting and burn have
completely abated and the coat is no
longer fiery red but muddy" tan
Even then the bleach should be very,
very mild. Irritation and permanent
damage are otter avoided if the mild
est Of bleaches is applied first and the
strength gradually changed as the
skin builds up resistance. A butter
milk masque is fine. Corn meal and
buttermilk combination is also good,
mildly bleaching and soothing at the
same time. Remember that in the
matter Of bleaches there is no pre-
dieting how the skin will react. It
may have is particular idiosyncrasies.
tn reiore If tie slightest reoness or
irritation ensues. even Though the
Bleach be very mild discontinue the
Bleach for few days end continue
with the soothing ag,nt instead.

the
Privacy of
Individual
ws Especially
Should Avoid Unex-
pected Visits.
RY ANGELO pATRJ


THE right to privacy in ones home
Is fundamental, something that
has been set in time. held there by
! an instinct stronger than any one of
us realizes. Men and women who
bear the ills of this world with pa
tience and charity will flame in wrath
at an attempt to violate the privacy
of their homes. The door shuts the
family in and the world out and those
who use that door guard it, protect
1t with their lives.
In spite of the fact that this in
stinct Is common to us all there are
those who disregard it daily. A neigh
Dor feels like calling on another
neighbor and without asking permis-
sion, without stopping to think, just
drops In, any hour, any day. A fond
relative feels so much at home that
he drops all formality and comes
and goes at will. The in-laws-and
there are two sets of them-are the
worst offenders of all. MY sons
house, my brothers home, my sis
ter's place, of course is, free ad open
to me" is the usual idea.
1t Is the wrong idea. A home be-
longs to the people who built it and
live in it and their right to pri-
vacy there is immutable. It should
be undiSputed. A man and his wife
leave all others and cling to each
other and this home is the one spot
on earth sacred to them and their
children. Nobody, nobody however
dear, has the right to invade that
place. Father and mother and sister
and brother, relatives all, should wait
for an invitation before crossing the
threshold.
After entrance has been invited and
accepted certain conditions are fixed.
Tacit understandings are made be-
tween the families and friends who
visit and the family visited. One day,
one hour, certain occasions are es-
tablished as customary visiting times
for certain Of the group. Some have
wider privileges than others. This is
according to the rights of the home
owners themselves. Nobody ought to
grumble, nobody should be jealous of
another's privileges, but accept his
own as a personal compliment.
The many sad stories I have listened
to as grieving parents have related
them have suggested these points of
difficulty. They have made a great
deal Of trouble in families because
they have been 50 largely ignored by
interested relatives, friends and neigh
borS.
Don't visit unless you have been
made welcome. Don't ask questions.
Wait until you are told about the
family affairs before opening your
mind upon them and then be cautious.
Don't pry. Let the postman deliver
letters and packages; let the trucks
leave their loads; let cars come and
60 without asking why and where
fore. Don't offer advice about the
children. Leave them to their mother
and father. It is surprising how much
they know about their own children.
Should they ask advice, give your best
and then say no more.
Don't drop in. Observe the same
courtesy IN relation to your relatives
that you would show others. A little
formality makes friendships wear bet
ter. The knowledge OF the art Of
minding ones own business Is
happy achievement. Home Is q pri-
vate institution and its occupants re-
sent its invasion by any one, any
time.

Names and

BY EMILY POST,

YEAR MRS. POST: % What is
the best way for a private sec
retary to speak of her husband to
her employer? (They are barely &C
quainted) 90 Also, when speaking
to him, how can I differentiate be-
tween his mother and his wife, who
both are Mrs. Brown?
Answer-O MY husband" ca

should make it perfectly clear to
him which Mrs Brown you mean. o.
you could quite properly say, your
wife" and your mother"
Dear Mrs. Post: I'm very much
afraid I don't understand about
writing my name. At one time you
wrote that married woman writes
her name simply Alice Brown with
out any title. After that I saw book
let you wrote about letter writing, in
which you say that on the paper she
uses for business and professional
correspondence it is appropriate that
her full name be used with a title
when the address is included. had
some paper marked Mrs. Alice Brown
and my address, and now I have a
feeling that this is wrong.
Answer-To put it as briefly as I
can: Your signature is simply Alice
Brown, or Alice Maidenname Brown,
written without any prefix whatso-
ever But when you write your name,
no matter where, with an address,
the form Is exactly that which you
would expect others to write in ad-
dressing an envelope to you. This IS
also the reason for marking business
and professional letter paper with
both name and address. In other
words, Mrs. John Brown-never put

which even she can beat the heat, and
still serve the family with luscious hot

The Bureau of Home Economics of

culture has, as usual taken the Sum-
mer housewives problem upon its
broad shoulders, and comes out with

time required to make hot yeast rolls,
and so forth, and explains the differ

breads as follows:
Despite the slow rising of yeast
breads, however, there is way to pro-
vide hot rolls at any meal without
much trouble, and only Is or 20 min
utes in the oven. These are called
refrigerator rolls The trick is, by
chilling. to manage the yeast and the
proteins in the bread mixture in such
q way as to meet the cooks convent

NTHE yeast cake is composed of a
ing fungus, form of plant life
which grows when moist and warm
and when it has food, as In the bread
mixture. Yeast causes fermentation as
it grows. Fermentation in the dough
forms gas which must find room in
the dough. Wheat or rye bread mix
lures hold this gas and expand as it
forms, because the proteins in these
fours are elastic and strong. Knead-
ing develops the proteins, especially
two wheat proteins which combine to
form gluten and makes them more
elastic as the gas bubbles multiply,
until the dough expands to twice its
original bulk or more. Then baking
sets the protein and the result Is the
fne-celled structure of wheat bread.
Reckoning with the behavior of
both the yeast and the wheat proteins,

The Old Gardener Saws:

This is good time to repot
some of the mouse plants. Bos-
ton ferns, hydrangeas and fuch-
sias are among the plants which
are readily shifted now. 1t is
best to use pots one or two sizes
larger than those in which the
plants have been growing, and
care should be taken to firm the
soil around the ball of earth,
particularly at the sides. so that
the water will not run down be-
tween the earth and the pots.
Flowering plants should be cut
back rather hard and repotted,
and ferns should have the
Drowned and disfgured fronds
removed. The plants should be
watered moderately at first, and
the pots may be plunged out of
doors through the Summer, being
taken into the house for flower
ing when Winter comes.
