Start Street Work


 WpA workers were scheduled to start today pouring concrete for walks, curbs and gutters on the sec- ton of Cherry street from Olive street to Spencer street which was not reached last year when curbs, gutters and sidewalks were laid on a large portion of Cherry street.
 Leo Brophy, local burgess, will De in charge of this work. The New Haven road sidewalk project has virtually been completed and an Iron fence there is now being in- stalled.
 Cherry street Is In much better shape now following oiling of the newly-repaired section from Scott to Spencer streets yesterday. The new sand-Spreading machine which cost the borough about $360 was used to coat 1t with sand and worked very well. The machine does the task quickly. It sprays the sand on the oil immediately after 1t leaves the oiling machine. It will be used to spray sand on Icy pavements in the winter and Is ex- pected to Dc of big help then.
 Assistant Street Superintendent Harold Murtha announced today the new sanding machine Is ex- pected [ ob eeven better for putting sand on Icy paVementS than Tor spreading 1t on oil

He stressed the fact it will not put men out of work aS they Will be needed for cleaning up and back dragging, but will do the task much faster.
 He also said he expects the work Of oiling oil local streets will start Wednesday. A private oiler will do the oiling work with the borough spreading the sand this year, m- stead of the state highway depart- naent doing the work. The John J. Carroll and Sons Company has the contract for supplying sand.
 Cherry street, which has been closed to traffic for several days, IS now open and Is Q much improved street. Those who use the street are much pleased with the improve ment, which was done in very quick time.

Bed1AtY Council
By Donna Grace

All cosmetics hold a lure for
the dainty woman, but there is
something about the smooth
texture of fine creams that give
one feeling of luxurious clean
illness. The use of creams
should be simple enough when
one has learned the principle of
massage, and after a few first
class salon facials she will never
think of using down strokes,
nor will she injure the tissues
by deep manipulations.
You must bear in mind when
you work on your own face,
there is no support or bony
structure from the temples to
the jay bone, and for this
reason we try to lift the muscles
of the cheeks instead of pulling
them down. The amateur
woman who is not sure of her
strokes will do well to omit any
movements and simply apply
the cream by patting it on.
We are always being asked
vhether one should leave the
cream on overnight or remove
it all before going to bed, and
the answer is: It depends on
the type of skin. The oily or
normal skin may be massaged,
then the cream should be re-
moved, and if there is excessive
oil, a good facial shampoo of
soap and water followed by a
tonic or astringent will be the
best night treatment. But, when
there is any tendency to dry
ness, do not remove the cream.
Yes. we know the skin needs a
breathing spell, but the lubri-
cation of oils and creams will
give it the pliancy it must have
to keep it soft. The naturally
dry skin, especially in mature
years, will never supply enough
natural oil to refine the texture,
so learn your massage strokes,
and when you select a cream,
be sure it is a good rich one.

LOVelOrn
Given
Advice
By Beatrice Fairfax

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Ten years ago I married a
very fine businessman Of for
eign descent. The day we were
married, my mother-in-law be-
gan to cry about giving up her
son. AS time went on, she
would always speak to him in
their own language, which did
not understand, and even then
take him off into room to talk
privately.
In his own family he had to
be a job finder, peacemaker
and adviser in general. You
see, his mother and father do
not get along, and do not speak
to each other for morthS at a
time. Not having the compan-
ionship OF her husband, she
clings to her children till she
has finally won out, and my
husband has been home with
her for a year. And here am I,
a broken-hearted wife, not
knowing which way to turn.
My husband is SO. M. G.
If your husband has not made
any provision for you, which I
infer in the postscript Of your
letter, which is not given here,
don't you think it would be well
to consult the Legal Aid Society
and follow their suggestion?
When a man 38 years Of age
leaves his wife and goes to live
with his family, it seems there
is little to be hoped for in the
way OF reconciliation, and the
best thing for a woman to do is
to gather up the scattered
threads of her life and weave
them into a pattern of content
ment.
In what are you interested?
Take an interest in something
and work at it, rather than
brood over your mother-in-law
and the wreck she has made of
your family life. When your
husband sees that you have
achieved some measure of sue
cess as a solitaire, he may come
back to you-often they do.
Laugh and the world laughs
with you. weep and you weep

ALL CHEW GUM
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
For the past year I have been
steadily falling in love with a
girl. but do not make much
Roadway on account of a deadly
rival, the name of which is
chewing gum. Whenever 1
start to make love to her, she
says "Uh-huh-" and chews
away. The family all chew
gum, so l suppose she doesn't
realize the effect it has on me.
Do you think would be safe
in telling her in nice way
that this habit gets on my
nerves? She doesn't smoke.
which should prefer to her
constant gum-chewing.
IN DOUBT.
Young men who write to this
column and object to the inces-
SAINT cigarette-smoklng of their
girl friends tell me the best
way to lose their girls is to be-
come critical about smoking.

in regard to chewing gum, any
better than she does about Gig
arettes, is your risk. It must be

girl to have her answer, "Uh-

Beat six eggs well. add one and

cheese, two cups of shredded

sugar, one teaspoon of nutmeg,
four cups of milk, or enough to

it from becoming watery.
