Families Eligible For
Greenbelt
Six Hundred Have Applied For Dwell
ling Units In The Low-Cost
Housing Project

Three hundred and twenty-six
Maryland families, out of some 500
which have applied for dwelling units
at Greenbelt, the Governments low
cost housing project near Berwyn,
have been declared eligible, as far as
their size and income rating are con-
cerned, it was learned at the offices
of the Farm Security Administration.
None of these families has more
than six members, which is all the
Greenbelt houses will accommodate,
and their income has been reported
as less than $4,000 each.
Home visits and interviews with
the applicants will be part of the
investigation preliminary to actual
selection of families for residence in
the satellite town, and it was indi-
Gated that none would be chosen be-
fore October 1, although it had been
expected that occupancy would begin
before that time.
Families with members employed
in Washington, but whose clcum-
stances now require them to live in
Baltimore, are expected to. get care
full consideration at the HANDS OF the
family selection committee, it was
said at the FSA offices since the need
of housing convenient to the place OF
employment is one of the major fac
tors to be weighted in the choice OF
tenants.
OF 1905 families which have
made formal application for apart
ments at the project, 1000 have been
rated as eligible. Residents of the
District of Columbia lead the list as
to numbers, with Maryland appli-
cants secon dand Virginians third.
Thus far most of the applications
are coming from the $1,000 to ST.
700 income group, with the 81 400 tc
$500 group running second.
Applications reveal that most Of
those DESTROYS of living at Greenbelt
are between 81 and 20 years OF age
Head of families under Fl are MOI
eligible. Thirteen applicants who
are under age by matter OF few
weeks have filled out forms, explain
ing that they would be able to qualify
on that score by the time the apart
ments were available.
Persons between 80 and 80 com
prise the second largest age group
and those between 80 and 40 are
running third.
Applications continue to arrive a.
the rate of about one hundred day

Your Children
Bv OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

I It took 20 years or more for some communities to see the wisdom of such course.
 Older Pupils More Careless
 There is @ point here, you know, in spite of the fact that 1t is easy to say that if education is to be free it should be just that. The point is care and appreciation of books.
 Many school boards, signing over the annual bill for scuffage and de- struction, discovered that contrary to expectation, the toll mounted with age. Instead of little people losing, tearing and defacing more than their share, it was tn e other way around. Urges for artistry on margins, need for bit of blank paper so conveniently furnished by fly leaves, tight strapping, an a thousand other things of like na- ture, could not be credited so whole salely to Johny as to his older sis- ters and brothers.
 The figures are rather astonishing And If we are not careful, the time may come when children will again have to buy their own books, as used to be the case. It cannot go on forever. School boards are spending tax money for supplies, and every dollar and half dollar counts up.
 Library Books Last Longer
 It Is too bad that the child re- ceiving a book that has been de- faced and loosened by its previous owner, has to put up with 1t and do the best he can for whole seHnes- ter. Tn some cases I have seen books in use utterly impossible to read for pencil markings and dirt. Occa- sionally pages are missing altogeth- CT. There is a yearly drive in all schools to repair used books, and as many as possible are salvaged and freshened for future use. But even with this nursing and patch ing, 1t is still @ discouraging busi- ness for the child who draws a crip- pied speller or geography.
 A library book lasts far longer than the average school book and is read by hundreds of people instead of being used by three or four pu- pills, more or less. There art fewer library books lost, also. We cannot attribute this to maturity altogether because children are heavy library fans.
 The child should be trained at home to respect a book, any book, free or not. He does not mistreat his own personal volumes, or allow anyone else to do so. If our children are given fresh text books this fall, 1t is our duty to inspect them fre- quentiy, and impress on our families the necessity of handling them care- fully.

LAUNDERABLE CHINTZ

Glazed chintz has been 8 popu. lar material for curtains, bed- spreads, slip covers and other dec- orative purposes, but many house. wives have not cared for it be- cause great caution had to be used in cleaning in order not to destroy it's crisp, cheerful finish. Now, however, new process in finish- ing the yarns of which the chintz is woven produces glazed surface which will not fade, shrink or dull, even after numerous launderings. Simply use the ordinary care you would employ in washing any fig ured or colored materials-a bland soap and lukewarm water. Neither does hot iron harm t.le finish.

GIo1iting Yourself
By Ancia Hart

NEA Service Stan Writer
 Mona Barrie, film actress now playing on the New York stage for the first time, thinks that beautys minded women should pay Q great deal more attention to color har- mony.
 "Why will 8 blue-eyed blonde wear raspberry lipstick, orange rouge, dark powder and green eye shadow?" Miss Marie wants to know.
 "Brunettes hit on color combine tions equally ghastly," the lovely young actress declared. T should think one with blue eyes would real- ize that she is Q blonde type q be- lieVe the color of the eyes always is a true indication of type) or that a dark-eyed brunette would think twice before putting very light, pink ish powder on her Skin."
 For her personal makeup, Miss Barrie chooses an eyeshadow that blends with the color of her eyes, then mascara to harmonize. Her lipstick enhances natural blood tones, yet blends with the eye cosmetics. Rouge also dramatizes natural coloring and does not clash with the tone of the np- stick. Powder matches exactly the shade of her skin.
 Unless your lashes are almost colorless, don't wear' mascara to the office, downtown shopping or around the house in the morning. Save it, and eyeshadow, too, for formal occasions. Even then, ape ply sparingly.
 Incidentally, 1t is no longer con- sidered smart to pluck eyebrows into thin, hard lines. Let your brows grow naturally, removing only struggling hairs which grow on eyelidS or between broWS above the bridge of the nose. And do brush them every day to re. move dust and 1lecks of powder. Now and then put bit of vase- line on the brush. This makes brows glossy and healthy looking.
