Garry both foundation and cream
well down over your neck to avoid the
dead line at the chin. Use small
brush to remove obvious pencil mark
lngs of your eyebrows and mascara
beads from your eyelashes. Guard
against stains on your teeth by biting
into cleansing tissues after you apply
lpstick. 4 thin camel's hair brush or a,
regular lip-liner pencil. used as lip
stick accessory, gives you more last
ing effect and cleaner borders.
Peellng. cracked or tarnlshed nail
polish can mar the loneliness of your
hands. Unless you can change your
polish often, ii is better to forego it
entirely
Good grooming requires some type
OF foundation garment, no matter how
slender you are, and slips which have
no visibility at the neckline, placket
or below the hem of your dress. Keep
straps concealed with lingerie loops
scwed into the shoulders of every
dress. Close plackets snugly with extra
snaps or slide fasteners, and reduce
the length of your slip at the bottom.
Hltching or knOtting of shoulder
straps is an unsafe device - and
nothing is more unsightly than slip
hanging below an otherwise trim and
smart skirt.
Fragile lingerie touches in white or
delicate shades at your neck and
wrists. augmented with light colored
gloves. are an arresting detail of dress.
But nothing short of fnical attention
should be given to preserve their spot
lessncss. Garry spare" white gloves
in your handbag. if you want an extra
nicely of touch.
Remember that crooked shoe heels.
twisted seams. or runners in your hose
can mar your appearance. And an
untidy handbag reflects careless
grooming and slovenly personal habits.
Use small slide fastened case to
carry cosmetic accessories within your
bag. and inspect its contents regularly
to free it of cluttering debris.
Discreet use of perfume has an
important place in good grooming.
Choose one which suits your PERSONAL
ity. stick to single odor in all of your
toilet accessories. and apply perfume
directly upon your skin, never to your
clothes

the tree. Sadly enough, he lighted his
beard, too. And in twelve brief min
utes the slaughter was over!
1t was also on a Christmas Eve
when seventy-one women were
trampled to death in panic at a
church-society entertainment in
rented hall in Calumet, Michigan.
Give heed to these random cases
if you happen to be on Christmas
party committee this year and take
steps to prevent their recurrence. Try
to buy decorations that are at least
"slow-burning." If you can't, ask your
fire chief where you can get an ap-
proved fame-proofng liquid which
can be sprayed over the materials.
Use asbestos instead of cotton wool
for snow. Dispense with the naked
candles. Have temporary wiring or
electrical extensions made only by a
qualified electrician and inspected.
See that there are ample fire ex-
tinguishers handy and operative. Pay
strict attention to your exit spaces
and don't let them get blocked. Try to
have chairs fastened together in rows
of four or five if they can't be secured
to the floor And train ushers to divert
a proportionate share of the arrivals
down side aisles instead of the main
aisle. on the proven principle that in
an emergency people always leave
by the route they used in entering.
If there is to be smoking. provide
plenty of ash trays or sand-flled re-
ceptacles - plus fervent prayers! 1t
is prudent to detail several committee
men as fire wardens' to keep an eye
on these various things. But it is
better yet to ask your fire chief to send
man or two tn uniform And let their
word be law.
Some of the simpler precautions
can we'll be applied to the home. too.
New York City usually has five or
six fatalities and from fifty to sixty
residential fires from Christmas trees
through the twenty-four hours Of
December 25th. with a similar ratio
prevailing throughout the country.
And the two predominant causes are
defective wiring IN tree lights - and
reflective" smokers.

1AST December three people died
and scores were hurt in a panic
II following Christmas-tree blaze
in the lobby OF a Jersey City hotel.
Two years ago at country-club
Christmas party in Selma. Ala, six
women we're burned to death when
the cotton batting on girls costume
ignited by careless smoker.
During another Christmas season in
New York nine died and thirty-four
were injured at a church-society
banquet when the restaurants COM
bustible ceiling decorations caught
fire.
In Ozark. Missouri, at a p. 7. A.
entertainment a child in the role Of
a dwarf was fatally burned when the
candle he carried in the play touched
off his false whiskers.
All of which suggests that it is high
time we gave thought to safer and
saner Christmas celebrations!
This is especially applicable to
Yuletide gatherings in churches,
schools, clubs, etc, where the meeting
room is invariably decorated with
very inflammable hangings, cluttered
with extra tables and chairs, crowded
with happy people in anything but a
safety mood. The liberal use of drying
evergreens, cotton snow, f1lmsy COS
tunes and bare candles for atmos-
phere all put the typical church social
on veritable keg of dynamite. So far
we've been pretty lucky. But unless
we mend our ways, that luck will
change to something like the recent
Rumanian church holocaust where
one candle and one paper wreath
combined to take l44 lives.
Much the same situation prevails
at school parties. And when you get
into the country-club or hotel ball
room and add the liberal flow of
wassail to the other hazards, the
marvel is that our good fortune has
held out so long.
don't aim to be a wet blanket, but
a good many people would still be
alive if these celebrations were planned
with a little more sense 1t wasn't so
long ago that thirty-six parents and
children died in an Oklahoma school
when the Santa Claus at a Christmas
Eve affair began the ritual of lighting

troll Of wages and prices which such

Opposed - Remedy.
1.-THE textile industry, as . consumer
goods industry. cannot grasp the
sprague headline Is q way out.
True, there has been sharp in
crease in the textile wage level In the
last few years. But. we believe, no
intelligent textile manufacturer will
contend that they are too high from
a social standpoint. They are too high
only II they are curtailing employ
ment possibilities In the industry. At
the moment there Is no evidence to
that effect.
LET US warn our readers Of one
type Of manufactured evidence which
may be Forthcoming soon. A company
induces its employees to accept 4 wage
cut In order to permit the mill to run.
The wage cut is used as the basis for
4 price cut In the market. The cycle
Is started. The new price becomes q
competitive level and gradually the
market sits down to it. That sort of
evidence should be considered at its
face value"

former group was in the saddle for =
while. but gradually the wage-cut ad-
herents pushed their opponents OF.
And, boy, how the new riders did ride!
Troubles Recalled.
"Who will ever forget the limitless
resourcefulness OF certain types Of
employers In finding new ways to cut
wage costs? Who will ever forget the
anguish which well-intentioned en-
ployers suffered as they found them
selves forced to follow suit, II they
were to stay in business at all? Who
will ever forget the gradual drying up
Of purchasing power, due to the con-
traction Of consumer income to 4
point where only the bare necessities
Of life were possible? Who viii ever
forget the hopelessness which char
acterized tie American people during
those long months when they were
sloshing around at the bottom Of the
,Wage-cut pit?
Must we go down that trail again?
THAT, We believe, is the most i'm
portant question facing American in
dustry in this immediate situation.
Particularly Is 1t necessary that
each industry consider the problem In
terms of its own conditions, and not
academically. Some will grasp at
Prof. Sprague's comment as an in
dorsement Of wage-cutting in all in
dustries. It was nothing Of the kind.
He was referring specifically to the
capital goods industries, and to those
where the number Of producers Is

price weakness in carbon black and
naval stores is distinctly IN exception
to the general rule.
It is not unlikely, therefore, that
producers profit margins will be fairly
well maintained in most instanc

are indicated, with composite net in

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-General de-
mand for chemicals has been hard hit
by the precipitous decline in industrial
activity. The pace Of the decline in
actual consumption has been moderate
in contrast to the precipitate decline in
ordering, however, and stocks in con-
sumer hands are relatively low at this
time, according to survey by the
Standard Statistics Co.
As always, sales Of most chemicals
will take their cue from general busi-
ness trends, although past experience
would indicate that, as group, chem
icals should hold up somewhat better
than average. It is reasonably certain,
however, that first quarter volume, at
least, will be well below comparable
1887 totals.
Prices are largely unchanged for
