Washington, April 2.-(AP)-Presi-

official attitude toward government
work projects involving different
types of structures from those here
to fore built ....
The President told a press confer
ence prices of durable goods, such as
steel and copper, were far too high.
He added the time had come for the
government to discourage Federal ex-
penditures for such goods and to en-
courage expenditures for consumer
goods.
The Presidents lengthy informal
statement on the present trend OF
prices was prompted by d query as to
his position on future public works
expenditures.
He said he told the five White
House Democrats who called on him
Yesterday to discuss the PWA, that
future Federal public works expen-
ditures should not go for steel bridges
and other such permanent structures,
but for channel dredging and earthen
dams.

so You re Taking a Trip?'
"Plane" Sense in Luggage.

Carrying more than one piece Of lug
gage is wise, too, because when you
are making overnight stops on long
flight, you can take one bag with you,
leaving the remainder stored in the
hold Of the plane. The former should
be tagged with yellow tag and the
latter should have blue tag. This
method of tagging luggage saves delay
and inconvenience.
7 UGGAGE for the feminine flying
contingent should include for the
average trip hanger case which
will carry her dresses neatly hung in
the lid and her accessories packed in
the capacious bottom. She may carry
her toilet articles and beauty aids in
a compact fitted case and still be
within the 33-pound limit. One Of
the most convenient fitted cases to
carry which will fit right into her
hanger case is fiat upper case. This
case comes in many attractive colors
to harmonic with her luggage and is
made up in that lovely ecrase leather
which is a smooth leather with a
gloss to rival piece of fine marble.
For longer trips. such as she can take
on the China Clipper, she may
carry, in addition to the hanger case,
a hat-and-shoe case which will carry
in its especially designed tray, an
evening wrap, as we'll as her extra
hats and shoes. This case, just as
the mans extra luggage, may have
blue tag and remain in the hold Of the
plane when overnight stops are made,
while the hanger case will be tagged
with a yellow tag, so she may con-
veniently take it along with her

Skin Flaws
Magnified
By the Sun
Patience Needed for
the Treatment of
Enlarged Pores.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

A YOUNG man asks me to reveal
the magnifying effects of the
sun. His story is the not unusual
one Of "a meeting in the moonlight"
1t seems he was smitten" But the
next meeting was by the bright day.
light Of the sun. He noticed COM
plexion flaws he never suspected were
there, notably very large pores. The
story ends rather nicely . fortu-
nately the girl in the case has many
charms to make up for the facial
flaws, and so both sign the letter to
me and ask what's to be done?
What's to be done about the sun?
1t has the power to glorify and 1t has
the power to magnify. Have you ever
noticed how little flaws stick out Like
that many sore thumbs by the light
Of the sun? Have you, perhaps, seen
little blackheads suddenly seemingly
pop up as though they had been play
ing hide and seek, with the sun doing
the seeking? Superhuous hair is an
other flaw mercilessly magnified by
the sun.
obviously We QOn want 10 nlQe IN
doors when the sun shines bright and
beautiful during the Spring and Sum-
mer seasons.
The treatment for blackheads re-
quires a little patience and persist
ence. Thorough cleansing is the first
important step Then a little stimu-
lation helps to whip up the circula-
ton, to soften the skin so that the
less stubborn OF the little offenders
can readily be released. The black
heads are then pressed out very care
fully, so as not to bruise or break the
skin. Next an antiseptic astringent
is used
The treatment for enlarged pores
requires a great deal of patience and
persistence. Toning is what the skin
needs. Thorough cleansing goes with
out saying. Brisk patting with mild
astringent, ice rubs (the ice SWathed
in soft linen are the best local meas
ures 1 know. But general health is
all important. And stimulation of
healthy circulation through exercise
and deep breathing. through sufficient
fresh air and plenty of the all-reveal-
ing sunshine will do infinitely more
good than mere local applications.
The combination is fine.
