chairman In radio address over Sta
tions WJSV and WMAL from $50
to 6:45 o'clock.
The Special Assignments Unit work
ers were highly praised for their extra
activity yesterday, which brought re-
suits of their solicitation to a point
well beyond the comparable figures a
year ago.
Driving toward q quota Of 1866 ,645,
the Special Unit yesterday had rolled
up a total Of $365, 703, which is 6453
per cent of the quota, as compared
with 60.94 per cent which had been
raised at the similar time in the
campaign last year.
Teams Congratulated.
Both Chairman Tumulty and Vice
Chairman Hynson congratulated the
teams and called on them for extra
effcrt in order to bring in a still larger
figure to report at the meeting today
The question of Government taking
up many burdens Of relief, which has
been brought forward several times
during the preliminary stages of the
campaign, was discussed frankly yes
terday, with emphasis on the still
existing necessity of heavy contribu-
tions to the Chest.
Elwood Street, director of public
welfare, when asked to discuss the
problem, declared that in his opinion
business was improving so rapidly that
the average business man, even with
additional taxes to support the social
security program and other relief,
would find himself better of than be-
fore. N
Street stressed the fact that there
still is 'inadequacy" in the services
rendered by both the governmental
agencies and the private agencies. He
expressed the opinion that whatever
the Government may do in the way
of social security and relief there still
will be substantial burdens on the
private welfare agencies. These, he
emphasized. should receive generous
support from the public.
Cites Need Of Funds.
AS instances Of the shortage in pub
lie welfare, he pointed to the lack of
funds in the public assistance" work
of the Department of Public Welfare,
and need for clinics.
I'VE have no public clinics here in
Washington" he said, except the tu-
berculosis clinics and social disease
clinics"
Both public and private welfare
must be supported, he said.
Public and private welfare must
march along together"

them sounded much like veal birds
that have always been so popular
with Sororities for Sunday dinners.

may be modernized through the
aid of the Modernization Credit
Plan of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration. The housewife will
find that she is not as tired at
the end of the day if she has less
space to walk around in to locate
the mixing bowl, the flour or
clean dish towel.
Easily Cleaned Tile
The kitchen of one house was
divided in half and one side was
made into a breakfast room while
the other housed modern versions
of the old kitchen standbys, some
Of which may also be purchased
under the modernization credit
plan.
Green tile, cleaned with a flick
of a damp cloth, covered the walls
of the modernized rooms. The
stove, woodwork, and other acces-
SorieS were finished in yellow or
white with black trim. Closets
were built where they were easily
accessible. Drawers under the
sink took care of towels, silver
and other utensils, pans, cleans
ers and soaps. A screened door
hid the plumbing from sight, but
allowed free circulation Of air.
Indirect lighting in the ceiling
over the sink gave an even light
but avoided glare or unpleasant
reflection. outlets over the sink,
however, took care Of electric mix
ing bowls and other implements.
Smart Accessories
The faStidiouS housewife will be
as particular about the little de-
tails of the kitchen as she would
be of a guest room ensemble.
Towels may be had in pleasing
combinations, potholders have be-
come things of beauty and even
the prosaiC soap flakes may have
the container hidden in an at
tractive holder to match any
color scheme.
The kitchen which was modern
lied had a floor of black compost
ton material, easy to clean and
blending with the other details Of
the rooms decoration. With her
own funds the housewife pur-
chased yellow voile curtains
trimmed in black and white.
Some bright person discovered
that we spend one-third of our
lives in bed, but no one has ever
figured out how much Of wom-
ans life is spent in the kitchen.
The time is surely enough to make
it worth while to have that work
shop one of the most attractive
rooms in the house.
Spring Decorating
The arrival of spring is heralded
in the fashion world with the ap-
pearance of gay flowers on our
hats. There is no reason why the
season should not be celebrated in
the same fashion, more or less, in
the home.

Perfumes for
The Seasons
By DONNA GRACE

How about your perfume? Is
1t the same one you have always
used, and If so, why?
The rule Is. you know, to
change perfumes with the season
and even with every change of
costume.
The strong, pungent aromas
that were so satisfying for the
formal winter festivities seem out
of harmony with the smart, crisp
spring outfits or the filmy eve
ming gowns that one sees at this
time.
The heavy scents that we loved
so much with evening metal bro
cades and velvets must be put
away in their cases until fall.
They will be treat later on, but
just now we must have some new
ones, and there has never been
such intriguing and fascinating
aromas as we are offered.
They are sometimes presented
before they are even given a
name or classification just to
see what their effect may be.
A few days ago one of the we'll
known French perfume COM
panies introduced bouquet
scent in an original manner.
They presented each luncheon
guest with :, lovely dark red ar
tificial carnation that had been
sprayed with the perfume. Then
they asked us to name it.
It is interesting to note the ef.
feet of any one perfume on diff
ferent persons. Some, whose sense
of smell is very acute, are able to
detect the distinct floral combin-
ations, and others with less i'm
agination are interested only in
the perfume as an exhilerating
ajunct to the new spring acces-
SorieS.
The bouquet mixtures are more
perfect than ever, and we believe
it is impossible to detect one odor
apart from another. They are, as
the name implies, just a delight
full bouquet and may be suitable
for any occasion.
The other scents so in demand
at the moment are the original
and distinct aromas to match the
corsage and boutonniers, such as
the carnation, gardenias, jasmine
and violet. The tailored suit calls
for a flower to relieve their sever.
ity and enhance their newness,
and these flowers are more def
mite and effective when their nat
ural aroma is augmented with
the same perfume.
These original floral scents are
always very strong, and it is well
to be discreet and a bit restrained
in applying them.
The selection of perfumes will
always be matter of taste and
choice of the individual as well as
the occasion for which they are
to be used. A strong, pungent
scent should never be used in the
morning, nor for any sports oc-
caSion.
/ The only perfume that may be
used for the forenoon, or for
for sports wear at any time, is
the toilet water that is rubbed on
after the morning bath. That
can be any one of the floral va
riety.
At noon. for luncheons, or for
any social event thereafter until
the cocktail hour, a bouquet or
delicate floral perfume is correct.
Beginning with the late after
noon or cocktail hour, any of the
new blends or bouquets may be
used.

My sister says her boy friend
comes so often he ought to know

wrong. "B. E."
There isn't any hard and fast
rule about where one should meet
the boy friend. Whoever answers

ber of the family-will probably
invite him into the living room.
If you mean, should he walk in
without knocking-certainly not.
