DOmestics' Union
Sought in Britain

LONDON. Jan. 13.-The posi-
bhity of forming a trade union
for Great Britain's 100000 pri-
vate domestic workers-one of the
last groups of unorganized labor
here-is being examined by the
general council of the trades
union congress.
Inquiry will be made among
visitors to the forthcoming domes-
tic services exhibition in London
to test the feeling for a union that
would probably aim at establish
ing minimum conditions of en-
pioyment, including wages and
hours Of work and possibly pre-
stribing hours of leisure.

:One thousand unSold houses and

ing the present fiscal year,
Col. John W. Oehman, District
building inspector, told the Cos
n1opolitan Club yesterday at the
Carlton Hotel.
This, he said, is probable de-
spite the fact that building per-
nhts for the last fiscal year totaled
$37,0Oo,0O0, making Washington
fourth in this respect among the
cities of the country.
.Mr. Oehman gave his depart

to make money on low bids by

tMEMP HIS, Tenn, Jan, IA
QN.S).-Undaunted by warnings
Of his physicians, that he may col
lapse at any moment, the Very
Rev. Israel Harding Noe, the
fasting dean" of st. Mary's Epis-
copal Cathedral here, allowed
nothing to interfere with his
strenuous work schedule today.
, "It will be at least two years
before l am ready to make a
scientific report on this matter,
until then I will have nothing
TO say FOR publication" he told
reporters.
:Gaunt and emaciated by II
days without food or drink, the
normally robust and Stocky dean
remained firm in his determine
ton to continue his self-imposed
fast, to prove that man can live
BY spiritual food alone-that he
can put on the fullness of the
sodhead bodily provided he is a
willing instrument in the Fathers
hands" as he expressed 1t.
, VITALITY HOLDS UP
Walking with an unfaltering
tread and speaking in a firm
voice, the dean yesterday con-
dtlcted two religious services, and
his parishioners were amazed by
his vitality.
First, he conducted his regular
Communion service, taking the
wafer and wine of Communion.
the only form of food that has
passed his lips since January 2.
The dean then delivered a short
sermon.
In the evening, he conducted his
weekly sociology class at a down
town hotel, speaking for one hour
and five minutes. If he was IA
ttgued by the ordeal, his features
and his manner failed to reveal it.
When the program is COM
pleted, then I shall have some
thing to say" he told reporters.
Prior to the beginning Of the
fast, Dean Noe subsisted solely
on oranges for more than a year,
reporters were informed.
FRIENDS WORRIED

sidered many courses of action ir
their effort to bring a halt to the
unusual experiment. Pleas of his
physicians, his superior bishop,
family and Pensioners have been
cast aside wit 9a wave of the
hand.
Some Of the more militant pa
riShionerS have considered court
action, but thye admitted they
were hesitant to take such a course,
because of the prominence of the
dean and his sincerity Of purpose.
The dean first leaped into pub

band was so absorbed in spiritual
affairs he was no longer a ma

Mabel McIlvain Downs is the

women looked smart, because
their hats neither matched nor
contrasted strikingly enough to
give their costumes any "umph."
With as vibrant a tone as
purple, the match must be exact

instance, Ilka Chase chooses a
purplish-blue for her crepe dress
and tops her "curls-piled-high"

Tiresonae
By Beatrice Fairfax

Copyright, 1888, by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am % years old and have
been married over a year. Before
my marriage held a very good
stenographic position, but gave
it up because my husband did
not want his wife to work.
I love my husband very much
and he is good to me, but I get
so restless. Housework is so
monotonous and I feel so de-
pressed and lonesome alone all
day. There's no excitement in
keeping house, and I'm used to
being around people.
I did have several temporary
positions since I've been married,
and I felt so much better, but
then I couldn't do the cooking.
and we ate out quite a bit. This
my husband didn't like. He said
it made for a happier marriage
if the wife stayed at home in
stead Of going to office.
I suppose he's right, but I
know so little about cooking
and domestic work and pine for
my old job again. What can I
do to get over this restless feel
ing? DORIS.
The Washington times., 1938-08-25
Takes Time
To Adjust

It's perfectly natural for you
to feel that way. Every girl
who gives up a position and
gets married feels the same,
at first. She has been accus-
toned to rules and regula-
tionS," and has had a certain
time for each task.
In her own home. her time
is her own. Nothing is really
urgent; she is her own boss
and can do as she pleaseS when
she pleases. She's used to hav-
ing a group of men and girls
around, and there's always ex-
citement-more or lc5S-in an
office.
I urge you to regard home
making as a profession and not
as a chore. You'll find it's just
as interesting and exciting as
office work. Take up cooking
and learn how to do it well,
how to prepare appetiZing and
well-balanced meals.
Your husband is right when
he says it makes Tor a happier
marriage if the wife Stavs at
home. No woman can be a
competent housewife and a COM
petent business woman at the
same time. Either job takes all
she has.

Results
BY DORIS BLAKE

Get together, girls! If a dozen
or even half a dozen of you COM
bine in a definite social effort,
you'll be able to solve this prob
lem of how to meet new men.
Your married friends are too alb
sorbed in their own interests to
help you. 1t is up to yourselves
to Danish the bugaboo of loneli-
ness. Use a little cooperation.
Have little sisterly trust in your
girl friends.
Admire
Generosity
Share your boy friends and
you'll get more. There is moth
ing men admire more than
generosity in a woman. They
are much more apt to stick to a
girl who shows no fear than they
will leave.
Say each of you in turn gives
a party. Suppose each of you
fearlessly contributes the incest
man she knows, or even two. If
you have no devoted suitor, pluck
up your courage. "A friend of
mine is giving a party. Don't
you want to Gomez" is all it
takes. With each of you whole
heartedly doing her share, you'll
have lively evening.

If you give the men a swell

girls. Your enterprise and fun
will inspire them to do their
stuff and invite you out in re-
turn. Before your series Of en-

Requirements
Easy for
SOuring

If you have sweet milk or
hand but you would like to use
a sour-milk recipe, you can
make the milk sour by the addi-
ton of vinegar. The method is
simple-to make one cup of
sour milk, place one tablespoon
vinegar in a measuring cup and
fill it up with sweet milk.
In almost all baking recipes
milk which has been soured in
this way would require one-half
teaspoon of baking soda to neu-
tralize it.
