STRIKES SNAG
IN SENATE

International News Service
Passage of the $3O8, 10000 Will
Son-Copeland flood control bill was
further complicated today by a
new Senate controversy over in
clusion of 38 power projects at
an apparent cost of $3.50, 000, 900.
Army engineers were compiling
a report on these projects, diVid-
ing the proposed costs between
flood control and power benefits.
They also may recommend higher
construction costs in order to en-
large the possible power develop
mentS. The Army report will reach
the Senate Commerce Committee,
now considering the bill, early
next week.
RFC Loans Speeded
Senate leaders meanwhile prom
Used prompt action on the House
resolution, authorizing the Re
construction Finance Corporation
to lend up to $25,000,000 for re-
Mobilization of damaged property
in the flooded industrial East. 1t
relaxed the present RFC law re-
garding collateral and authorized
these personal rehabilitation loans
on reasonable security"
The flood control measure ap-
peared headed for considerable
Senate wrangling. 1t already has
been subjected to controversy be-
cause of inclusion of an Army
engineer rule, compelling States
and communities to share in the
cost of constructing flood control
projects. This rule probably will
be eliminated when the committee
meets again to act on it, thus
throwing complete cost of the con-
Struction work on the Federal
Government.
Senate Fight Due
The power controversy developed
when it was learned that the
House had included 80 projects in
the bill, on which water power de-
velopmentS were contemplated.
Only nine of these projects-all
in the Pittsburgh area-were re-
tanned in the bill and the others
were eliminated.
The projects were scattered
through Pennsylvania, West Vir-
GINA, Kentucky, Arkansas, Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma and Kansas.
At the same time, the commit
tee ordered the Army engineers
to report on the power feaSibil-
tiles and power costs of con-
structing these projects. There
was a possibility the engineers
might recommend higher reser-
voirs for power developments and,
therefore, increased costs of con-
Struction.

Stale bread and sour milk may
stump inexperienced cooks, but
not the veteran. She uses both.
Sour milk and cream are assets
to the housekeeper who likes to
make ginger cake, pancakes, bis
cults and many other toothsome
things. Here is the rule in using
sour milk: To use sour milk or
sour cream in place of sweet milk
in a recipe, use a half teaspoon of
baking soda to each cup of sour
milk or cream, and cut down the
baking powder by one and one
half teaspoons. When cream is
used, you should take into account
your shortening, too, since cream
is rich in its own right. One cup
of thin cream, for instance, will
replace about five-siXth cup of milk
and one-sixth cup of fat; one cup
of thick cream replaces two-thirds

DEAR MISS GLAD: I have
always had thick, fluffy. lustrous
hair, and naturally was proud of
it. Recently, however, my hair
seems to have lost it's gloss and
fuffiness. Even right after sham
poo it seems dull and sticky. 1 use
a good cake of soap for the sham

perhaps / don't remove all of the
soap thoroughly from my hair
when rinsing it. Do you think that
this may have any bearing with
the condition of my hair?
"FLOSSIE."
It is important that you remove
every bit of soap from your hair
after a shampoo. For even the
slightest trace will detract from
the luster and aliveness Of your
hair, and will lay foundation that
will attract floating dust and
germs. If you are using a cake of
soap for lathering your hair, stop

that has been applied in cake form
from the hair. Use liquid soap.
and after the lathering. continue to
rinse your tresses until you are
positive that every bit of soap has
been removed. An ordinary bath
spray is excellent for rinsing the
hair. Then. in the next-to-the-last
rinse. place teaspoon of borax or
the strained juice of one lemon.
This will cut all traces of soap

from being dimmed and gummed

BY WORTH CHENEY

FOR SOME years now, ever
since the advent of the low-priced
automobile, which virtually put
America on wheels, farmers of the
nation have been battling the
menace of the city tourist who
thinks all the land outside the city
limits is free and public property.
Farmers wouldn't mind, of
course, if city dwellers seeking a
little of the pure ozone would
behave themselves when they camp
or picnic in the cool recesses of a
shaded country grove. But they
won't. They seem to feel that
everything they find in the country
belongs only to nature, and that
nature wouldn't mind if they dug
up a sapling of a cherry tree,
stripped an apple tree completely
of its fruit, or took with them a
chicken that didn't seem to have
any home.
And why should they gather up
the refuse of their picnic? Let
that piece of watermelon lay, and
don't bother about all those papers
on the ground, nobody ever will
see them. After all, the country is
a pretty dirty place, anyway. So
think the city people.
BUT THE country folk don't
like it, and as a result many
farmers have found it necessary to
post signs against trespassing on
their farms. Some of these signs,
as you may know, are pretty blunt
and to the point. But we've never
seen any more expressive than one
located on a farm on the banks
of the Vermilion river, in Ohio.
This masterpiece in warning
signs is not very subtle. 1t minces
no words, since it says:
STAY OUT!
BY order OF one vicious
dog and
one double barreled shotgun.

however, almost wholly among the
more subdued, the pastel and
medium shades. You must be sure
to avoid vivid, blatant hues, as
they will clash with your own

and all puppies that have reddish

inharmonious with your natural

Fever blisters result not only
from colds and fevers, but also
from Indigestion, constipation and
infections of the teeth and tonsils.
The first thing that you should do
Is to modify your diet with atten-

may treat the sores with spirits of

Poems That Live
THE ROSE

IhE hOSE
A rose, as fair as ever saw the
North,
Grew in a little garden all alone;
A sweeter flower did Nature ne'er
put forth,
Nor fairer garden yet was never
known:
The maidens danced about 1t morn
and noon,
And learned bards of 1t their dit
ties made;
The nimble fairies by the pale
faced moon
Watered the root and kissed her
pretty shade.
B tut well-a-dayi-th he gardener
careless grew;
The maids and fairies both were
kept away,
And In drought the caterpillars
Themselves upon the bud and
every spray.
God shield the stock! If heaven
send no supplies.
