Cooperative Response to His Appeal 10 Smash
 Present Recession DOOR IS OPENED TO
 EVERY INDUSTRY Many Favorable Messages Have Been Received al
 White House Today
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Staff Correspondentl


 Washington, January A. (UP) - Close friends of Pres i6ent Roosevelt said today the chief executive was hope ful of a cooperative response from business to his message yesterday as an aid in com batting business recession. The presidential source de- clared that the reaction to the congressional message may go long way toward determining what the President will say in his speech at the Jackson Day celebration here Saturday night.
 MT. Roosevelt was represented as feeling that the door was open to business cooperation with the ad- ministration in meeting the prob- lens arising from the economic sit- uation.
 The description of White House views was presented as Congress pondered MT. Roosevelts message and contemplated possibility of a major inquiry into business condi- tions, particularly those affecting antitrust problems.
 Favorable Messages
 White House aides reported that hundreds of messages and telephone calls had been received on the con- gressional message and described these as almost entirely favorable in tone.
 The aides said that they had noted only one unfavorable com- munication and declared they could not recall more favorable and spontaneous reaction to a presiden- tial utterance.

Granted the Philippines is an out

today it is only i've days by trans

But, the Philippines is an outpost Of
decency and peace-the only safe out
post for Christianity in the Orient
the only sure outpost for Americanism
in the Orient. And whenever have we
not had outposts? Our entire history
has been one of pushing the frontier;
Of setting distant points to be reached

Outposts have been the milestones of
American progress.
Neither this American generation
nor any other American generation
should falter on its onward path We
cannot scuttle. We must not shirk.
Without too great loss of time and
with the cooperation of the leaders
among the Filipinos we should pro-

this study results in policy favoring

Spray Roses Frequently

II find that there is one simple
point in aphis control that is over
looked by a majority of rose grow
ers," says Melvin E. Wyandt, rose
specialist of gainesville, Ohio. ut
is simply that they should spray
often. Now don't misunderstood
me. Practically all rose growers
know that they must spray with a
good insecticide to control aphis,
but they do not realize that aphids
multiply rapidly"
An effective spray for aphis con-
troll is made by mixing one to two
teaspoonfuls of nicotine sulphate
in gallon of water and adding a
little dissolved laundry soap. Nico-
tine sulphate is a poison which
kills by contact-the method nee
essary with sucking insects such
as aphis-and in addition, being
volatile, it gives off fumes which
also kill, making it doubly effective.

How The "WeII-Dressed"
Furniture Should Appear

This season-and every season
furniture should be kept fresh
and cleaning! The home-maker
owes it to her furniture-and the
appearance of her home. Before
it leaves the shop of the furniture
dealer, before it is sold-good fur
niture is kept polished! The dealer
continually gives it a 'polish serv-
ice", to maintain it's rich appear
ance-keep the wood "alive!" He,
who is an authority, regularly
uses a good oil polish (the best
is non-greasy, because it has
fine, light-oil base). He knows
the Importance of this-for selling
furniture is his business-and on
his shop floor, every piece of fine
wood must be kept at it's lustrous
best! He knows, too, how vital it
is to the finish, the very pores of
the wood, to frequently apply
quality oil polish on the various
suites and fine pieces! The effect
of it's frequent use on furniture is
two-fold: 1t prevents drying-out
and cracking-and it brings to the
furniture deep, lasting high-tone
that suffuses the wood, brings
out all the natural beauty of the
grain. All woodwork and furni-
ture will remain "well-dressed,"
decorative, sparkling-if cared for
periodically with reputable
light-oil polish!

NF ALL rag rugs the hooked
~ type is the most fascinating
and economical. A rug hook, such
as may be purchased in notion
and fancywork departments, and
burlap little larger than your
finished rug are the essentials.
Most rug hookers also use a
frame of Stats bolted together at
the corners. They stretch the bur-
lap over the frame and tack it.
Some like a rather large station
airy frame. Others use a small
one and many hooked rugs are
made without any frame at all.

Keep Newborn Baby
Warm; Reduce Mortality

Washington. - Keeping newborn
babies warm after their birth is a
simple but important way of helping
to cut down infant deaths, DR.. Hor-
ton Casparis of Vanderbilt univer-
sity pointed out at the conference
on better care for mothers and
babies held under the auspices
of the United States children's bu-
reau here.
Before birth the baby has been
living in an environment with q
temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahren.
heit, which may be compared to the
willing heat of midsummer. An in.
FAINT, especially prematurely born
infant, needs to be gradually &C.
climated to the temperature Of his
new environment, just as an adult
is careful about not getting chilled
after hot bath. Failure to pro-
tect the baby against the change in
temperature at birth may be re-
sponsible for his death.
Protecting the infant from infec-
ton and seeing that he gets plenty
of water and suitable food are 9TH
er important measures stressed by
DR.. Casparis.
