PRODUCTION
Must Be Doubled For Bet
ter Living

New York City (ILNS)-In his an
nual report of the New York Associa
tion for Improving the Condition of
the Poor, Bailey B. Burritt, general
director Of that association, calls for
doubling of our present production
of goods and services, which he con-
tends is necessary to furnish decent
living standards for the entire popu-
lation.
There is not enough national in
come to provide a decent standard of
living for our population" declared
Mr. Burritt. Many are so occupied
with mere acquisitions-ma are so
prone to suggest that the time has
come to work less and get more, that
we tend to lose sight of the fact that
we are not working enough to produce
income sufficient for minimum de-
cent standard of living"
Poverty Could Be Prevented
He cited studies by the Brookings
Institution showing that if the lowest
standards set by the department of
labor were to be brought to all the
families in this country, the total pro-
duction of 1929 would have to be
stepped up at least rs per cent. He
noted that the so billion dollars esti-
mated national income in 1896 is less
than $500 per person, and says:
Locally and nationally we must
focus the attention of all people on
the fact that much of our poverty and
distress and unnecessary illness could
be prevented through improving the
standard of living of all of our fami-
lies by increasing the amount of work
done, the volume of goods produced
and successfully distributed"
Distribution Seen Unsuccessful
Mr. Burritt gives no advice on i'm
proving our present distribution of
the national income, though he plainly
implies that he does not consider that
distribution successful" Nor does
he give any light on how production
can be doubled without doubling the
buying power of consumers.
Discussing relief, he obviously pays
no attention to the plea that relief
should be cut. He says:
"Our main difficulty at the present
time is not that we are spending too
much on relief under present condi-
tions but that we are producing too
little, working too little and therefore
have not enough goods and services
to maintain decent standard of liv.
ing for ALL"

Best to Use
All Rouge
Lightly
Apply Sparingly,
And Avoid Line
That Is Harsh.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

A READER challenges: do you
really believe in cream rouge? Do
you feel that the average woman
knows how to use it? Can you tell
me why cream rouge should iair up
after it is on the face for a while. /
had 4 very embarrassing experience
recently; applied a good brand OF
cream rouge, in good light, in what
thought was the proper fashion and
in a shade that was recommended by
so-called beauty consultant who
seemed to know her makeup. AS
say it seemed quite o. K, yet when
I walked out into the street and SUM-
light some IS minutes later friend
facetiously said something about being
sure / had descended from the In
dians."
Do I believe in cream rouge? De-
cidedly yes. 1t is the nearest to nat
ural, if properly applied. Do I feel
that the average woman knows how to
use it? Frankly do not. but judging
from reports from cosmetic counters
more and more women are learning.
Cream rouge requires skill and pa
tience for the most natural and fat
tering effect. 1t is true that very often
after the rouge Is on the skin for q
few minutes there is q chemical re-
action and the full color shows up
more than when the rouge is first ap-
piled. Also. in the case Of cream
rouge it is better to err on the con-
servative side Still further, it is
easier TO add more rouge, il necessary,
than to tone down the color. There
fore, / always recommend that just
little be applied, then = little more rs
needed
Cream rouge is best applied over
foundation cream or lotion. In the
case of an average or oily skin the
skin tonic makes = good rouge base.
After the skin is cleansed it should be
patted with tonic, then only the ex-
cess moisture removed, the skin blotted
with q tissue and . little moisture
allowed to remain on the cheeks. Over
this the rouge should 60 on very
smoothly.
Apply the rouge in three little dabs
high on the cheeks. then with finger
tips blend so that the rouge spreads
smoothly in one even color. Be sure
that the edges fade away instead OF
leaving q definite, harsh outline.
Over this carefully apply powder.
Dust of excess with . pad OF cotton,
clean puff or = powder blending

sired touch = bit OF compact rouge
over the powder. This should give =
lovely, natural and lasting makeup.
The cream rouge, you see, acts as q
color base.

There is no other hobby that will
exercise all your faculties as we'll As
this one-and, if you reflnish your
own furniture, all your muscles, as
we'll. There is nothing else that will
give you so much fun for so little
money, at the same time furnishing
your house and contributing to the
pleasure of the whole family.
Americsn-made furniture might be
divided into four general classes First
came the early pioneer furniture, the
simple utilitarian pieces that we're
made by the early settlers in Massa-
chusetts and Virginia. Fashioned OF
native wood, in simple design, they
were made to fit real need, and orna-
mental beauty was secondary con-
sideration. But they we're honestly
and truly made, as comfortable as
possible. and even if there had been
materials for ornamentation it would
have been unseemly to spend time on
such things when the fundamentals
of living were ever present.
In the second group is the so-called
memory furniture, the pieces that
were made in the early colonies by
unskilled workmen similar to the
things that they remembered from
their native land Thus we have in
New England rude copies of the
fashions in furniture in England at the
time the early settlers left there, but
they appear from 20 to 40 years later
in the new country In Pennsylvania
we find the Dutch influence, with
their painted and carved chests and
cabinets. In Upper New York we find
Dutch and French pieces which show
a design influenced by a great home
sickness for the old country. At this
time the struggle for existence in the
Colonies was over, and there was time
to spare for some of the better things.
so the men of the family carved and
painted chests, chairs and dressers
with the simple tools and paints
available.
Sometimes carpenter was hired to
come and stay, for month or so, to
make the necessary pieces This group
OF pieces has all the charm and SIM
plicity Of the early things, with the
added interest of the carving and de-
sign. This was American furniture
up to about l740
4 Xxx
CHORTLY after this we begin to
find the pieces made by amateur
| Enthusiastically good carpen-
ters, after the designs, and occasionally
after the actual models, imported from
Great Britain. These were ingenious
copies of the prevailing styles in
England and France and vary in value
today according to whether the man
that made them was something Of ar
artist or only a carpenter. This might
be a third group.
About 1880 We find the shops ir
Phila 'lphia, Boston and New YorH
run by master craftsmen, working from
the designs of Chippendale. ana
later Sheraton, Heppelwhite and tht
brothers Adam. AS the colonies be-
came wealthy more people patronizee
the shop of the chairmaker and cabi.

YEAR MRS. POST: Why is Mrs
Mary" not more truthful than
Mrs John" after John" has diedp
In other words, how can there be
a Mrs. John when there is no longer
John?
Answer: Because John gave Mary
his name for life-unless she mar
ries again. But the principal reason
against it is solely one of taste, and
etiquette is of course concerned with
taste. According to best social pre-
cepts, Mrs. Mary has the same rat
ing as yellow shoes with a mans
evening clothes. 1 don't know how
else to describe the tabu.

nEAR MRS. POST: / am a widow.

thought Of giving up my name. which
has always made me feel nearer To
the grand person who gave II to

out him, makes me sad indeed. NV
son says he doesn't know any other
way unless he again calls himself
Junior" Do you think it will be
necessary for my sons wife and me
to have some distinguishing change
in big city in which we will live
far apart?
Answer: Correctly you add SEN
ior' to your name, but in many cases.
for the very reason you describe. the
| son continues To use Junior" In
any case, his wife's name must he the
same as his. Legally. he has no
right to junior after his fathers
death and therefore its use could be
a social one, only.
DEAR MRS. POST: My son has re-
Gently become an M D. He
had always written his name with
junior after it since he was named
for his father, who l am happy 10
say is still living. Since his father
writes his name with the ordinary
title Mr." should my son now write
| HIS name WITHOUT JullOI!
Answer: His name should be.
John Harrington Smith, jr., M D."
or else ''Dr. John Harrington Smith,
Jr." The fact that he has an M d.
and his father uses Mr." has MOTH
ing whatever to do with the sufix
junior, which is an actual part nf
his name for so long as his father
lives.
DEAR MRS. POST: What does one
call a sister-in-law whom one
seldom sees and didn't know at all
before her marriage to my brother
Naturally she seems little more than
a stranger under the circumstances
Answer: You call her by her first
name-there is nothing else to call
her.

doing and will be able TO trust your
own judgment and save money Now
you must study the shape and propor-
tion of framework, the feel Of satin
wood inlay, the difference in weight
and method Of working solid woods
and veneered wood. II you are lucky
enough to find gracious dealer who
likes to talk about his trade you will
learn twice as fast. After this course
what you can do by yourself.
1t is hard TO say where you will find
the best hunting. II you live in the
country you may know which old
family is likely to have some furniture
that is good. After that all you have
to do is convince them that they
should part with it, II you should
succeed the first time you should give
up "antiQueing" for the diplomatic
service! You might watch the small
town papers for notices OF auctions.
Nowadays most OF the rural auctions
are covered by dealers or representa-
tives Of the large antique dealers.
You have small chance against them
as they have unlimited funds and feel
that it is their duty to protect the best
things for the trade But you might
chalk this up to education and watch
the dealers in action so that the next
time you see a similar thing you will
know its value.
ONCE not long ago in New England
I went to an auction. 1t poured
rain all afternoon so that the dealers
from Boston did not attempt the dirt
roads. From the auctioneer's point
OF view the day was failure. but in
my life it was red letter day! I
bought walnut spool bed in perfect
condition, complete with one OF those
marvellous old wire springs that never
sag; . hair mattress and 4 feather
bed. All of this for $3.50. 1 did not
want the mattress or the feather bed
but had to take them away.
Later on I found that the feather
bed was filled with feathers that are
only used in the most expensive pill

steam cleaned, and made whole
dozen of the finest bed pillows out
of it. At the same sale for 81 l
bought 4 mahogany-veneered mirror
frame. also in perfect condition. That
day my luck was in-and the exciting
thing Is that you can never tell when
your luck will be good again.
One plan 1 will pass on to you that
has worked well for me. Find a small
shop with an intelligent proprietor
Tell him or her that you are interested
in old furniture before it is finished
and ask him to let you know when he
comes In with his loot 80 that you may
have the first look Very often you
may be able to get better price if
you take things before he has to store
or refinish them. There are also Sec
ond-hand shops and thrift shops
where cast-off furniture is sent. Some
times here you may find a treasure.
From time to time we will discuss
old furniture-how to recognize it
how to select the good from the worth
less, and later its restoration and re-
finishing.
