Anise of Parsley Family

The true anise is member of the
parsley family, native to southern
Europe. 1t is slender plant, two
to four feet tall, with opposite oval
sharply serrate leaves. Somewhat
branched at the top the branches
end in interrupted spikes of small
blue flowers each a half inch long.
The tubular calyx is also purplish
blue adding color to the Towering
spike. The decided odor of the
flower spike gives the name anise
hyssop; botanists call it Agastache
Anethiodora and it is also known as
fragrant Siant hyssop.

Noughts for Naught

The Armenian merchants arith-
metic is somewhat elastic, as when
he asks 5000 for an embroidered
tablecloth and accepts So. An Eng
hsh official tells of an instance when
adjusting claims of the allied SUBJ
jects for damages IN the Near East
after the war. An Armenian asked
for $780, 900 damages, was awarded
S400 and insisted he should have
$500. But you asked for $500, 900

nothing" with shrug of his shoul-

A Combination Dish. - Two
parts of tomatoes simmered with
one part of celery makes a good
combination dish.
In Preparing a Chicken Dinner.
"A live chicken usually weighs
a third more than a dressed chick
en-. Allow half a pound of dressed
chicken per person.
For Basting ROasts.-Leftover
fruit juices, especially those from
spiced fruits, make excellent bast-
ing liquid for roasts, chops and
ham dishes.
Picnic Lemonade. - One cup
sugar, one cup water, one cup
strong tea infusion, six lemons,
one cup crushed pineapple, three
quarts water. Cook the sugar and
water to a thin syrup; add the
tea, lemon juice, pineapple, and
water. Serve iced. Sixteen to
eighteen servings. Excellent to
quench thirst. Juices from canned
peaches, apricots, pears or cher
ries can be utilized for some of
the water.
Dainty Shoulder Straps.-When
making your undies try using mar
row velvet ribbon for the shoulder
straps. The velvet side next to
the skin acts as grip, while the
satin on top looks dainty. You
will find that ribbon-velvet straps
will outlast any garment.
Save the Curtains.-A finger cut
from an old glove and slipped over
the end of a curtain rod enables
it to be pushed through the cur
tain hens of the finest net with
out catching and tearing the fab

Raspberry Shrub. - To three
quarts of red raspberries and one

A Mended CIoth.-If a small

SlLns Plans to Pare to the Bone

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Nathan Straus, a wealthy business
man who has spent much time study
ing slums at home and abroad, has
begun a $526,OO0,00O campaign to
weed out the rundown tenements
which he says make the United States
"the worst. nation Of the civilized
world in housing"
If bat 1000 per cent" said the
new administrator Of the United
States Housing Authority, II could
theoretically build 100000 or 10000
apartments for slum dwellers. But I
don't expect to bat 1000"
Even that large block Of new homes
would be only beginning, he said,
because the number of people who
live in overcroWded, insanitary, un-
healthy and unsafe dwellings may be
measured by President Roosevelts s
favorite phraSe-"the one-third who
are ill-clothed, ill-fed and ill-housed. !"
To re-house one-third of the popula-
tion, the Nation would have to replace
city slums and rural huts with more
than 100000 new dwellings.
Gives Himself Three Years.
The Public Works Administration.
which carried on the first national ex-
pertinent in low-rent housing. built
about $4,000 apartments for low-in-
come families in the last five years.
Mr.. Straus hopes to carry out his pro-
gram in three years.
Mr.. Straus said his 'slum- drainage"
campaign would be intended to serve
mot just the low-income families, but
the lowest-income families"
We're going to revise our building
standards" he said, because we've
got to get rents down to where the
slum dwellers can afford to pay them
That means not more than SIS or s5.25
room-including utilities-in cities
like New York, Chicago and Detroit.
1t means even less in other cities.'
This slum dweller will be a married
man who makes about $50 a month in
the big cities; or the father of three
or more minor children who makes
about $125. Under the Wagner
Steagall act, a man could not earn
more and still be eligible for apart
ments renting at $5.25 room.
Must Sacrifice Some Ideals.
Building apartments that can be
rented to these people, Mr. Straus said,
will mean abandoning some OF the
favorite hobbies of social workers and
others who struggle to get people out
Of the Slums.
We'll have to simplify down to the
bone" he said. For instance. one OF
my own hobbies in low-rent housing
has been cross-ventilation. Ideally,
every home should have windows SO
placed that they carry fresh air from
one side of the dwelling to the other
But you can't have cross-ventilation
and house slum-dwellers. It costs too
much''
There will be less sunlight, less air,

Gated, but they will be q tremendous

We've got to strike a mean between

live now and the ideal set-up by sucl,

Higher Than Slum Rent.
Hillside Homes was built by y nom
profit corporation with funds borrowed
from p. w. A.. but its rents are aimed
little higher than the slum- jewellers
level.
The housing authority experts
architects and engineers trained in the
P. w. AS housing division-have been
ordered to prepare designs to meet the
low-cost needs. The projects will be
large. not small, Mr.. Straus said. as
an economy measure They will re
claim whole neighborhoods.
After the homes are built. the chief
responsibility Of the U. S. H. A. will
be TO prevent their reverting to sluyns,
Mr.. Straus said.
Why do buildings get into the
slum claSs?" he was asked.
NJ
Bad planning. Overcrowding.
Building on too much of the
lot. And often the slum is q
single building or block of building-
an island-in the center of a growing
business district"
Building the new housing projects
will be task for the cities. Under
the law any city which has a hous-
ing authority may ask Mr.. Straus
for loan covering up to 80 per cent
Of the cost Of q project. The other
10 per cent must be q city contribu-
ton.
Initiative up to Cities.
The cities will draw up their own
plans, pick their own sites, arrange
their own financing, but, because the
cost must be kept low, Mr.. Straus
will offer model resigns and special
studies to guide them.
Only 81 cities are eligible for the
program now. Others do not have
the necessary housing authorities.
Only 80 States have provided the
machinery for setting up such agen-
cies.
We're going to try to get housing
authority laws in every State" Mr..
Straus said. adding that President
Roosevelt was most interested" in the
problem Of educating the State Leg
islatures in the necessary steps to
setting up local authorities"
Even when the new housing projects
are built and the slum-dwellers are
moved In. the Federal Governments
job will not be done.
