TTFLORESCENCE on masonry ma.
IL terials results from salts carried
to exterior surface by moisture in
wall and there deposited in crystal
line form by evaporation.
Excessive water and high salt con-
tent in new construction makes eff
floreseence more pronounced. AS the
building ages, deposits often wear
away, eliminating necessity for re-
moval.
Eflorescence most frequently oc-
ours where wall is subject to frequent
wetting, such as below window stills
or near leaky cutters. Continued rain
fall, excessive humidity or seepage
due to faulty construction may well
result in salt deposits.
Deposits can usually be removed by
vigorous application Of fiber or wire
brush.
If rubbing proves ineffective, scrub
deposit areas with acid wash COM
posed of part muriatic acid, to II
parts water. Avoid mortar joints
where possible Rinse wall with clear
water. Follow with diluted ammonia
solution-1 pint to gallons Of water
to assure removal of acid.
Temperance of deposits may ne
cessitate successive washings until
soluble salts in materials are ex-
hausted
Q.-How can blue stain in lumber
be avoided?
A.-To prevent blue stain lumber
should be shellacked, and. wherever
possible, back-primed with durable,
waterproof paint.
An effective back primer is com
posed of equal parts (by volume) soft
paste white lead and pure raw linseeo'
oil. Add "a pint liquid drier per gal
lon of paint.
Q.-Can you suggest formula for
good home made paint remover?
A.-'There is no practical formula
for the home preparation Of paint re-
mover. Save time and money by pur-
chasing high quality remover at paint
store.
Remoyers In paste form are mos'
effective,

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
CHECKS

At the close of the year 1898 the
Maryland Unemployment Compensa-
ton Board had paid out for unem-
ployment insurance total of $780,
1887 covered by 1,053,683
checks. These checks, under the
plan adopted by the Board as the
most speedy way of making pay
ments, were sent by mail to the
home addresses of the claimants.
The first check was sent out on
January rs last but heavy payments
did not begin until February as the
law requires claimants to serve a
two weeks waiting period without
pay, the benefit payment following
the third week of unemployment.
On the basis of payments now be-
ing made by the Board from day to
day it is possible that total benefit
payments this year of 1889 may not
be much more than $7,000,000. But,
of course, no estimate is to be re-
lied on-all depends on Industrial
conditions. The payments for 1898
went considerable higher than the
early estimates of those in author
ity.

DRIVE TO START INDUSTRY

The U. S. commerce department
is reported to be consulting with
business leaders to see what can be
done to promote full employment
in the Industries. Here is the great
teaser of problem with which the
American people have wrestled for
nine years. 1t is the question of
first Importance before the people.
The number of people out of
work was put some months ago at
10,O00,00O, and it is not probably
great deal below that figure now.
1t is said that even if industry were
running top speed, many of these
people would not find work. Many
of them are elderly folks who may
not be able to do the work that in
dustry requires.
Many of them are unskilled
workers, who are not trained to do
the work that our mechanical pro-
ducing plants expect.
Great business activity would
make tremendous difference, and
there are ways by which it could
be encouraged. Such activity de-
ponds mostly on the question wheth-
er there is a chance to make money
in business. If people who have
money see a chance to make more
money, they will engage in business
enterprises, they start new plans,
build new plants, improve their old
facilities, and promote selling cam
paigns. They put up houses and bus
mess buildings. ALI these things en-
plcy labor.
The key to the whole thing is the
question of profit. Some people do
not like what they call the profit
motive" in business. II there is little
chance to make profit, and there
is large chance Of losses, there is
no motive to engage in business or
employ labor. When profits stop,
work stops also.
Business will start with 100 per
cent. activity, when people see a
chance to make money through such
activity. Give business fair profis,
the workers get their jobs back.

FOOD MAJOR PROBLEM OF
SPANISH REPUBLIC

Senior Indalecio, former Defense
Minister of the Spanish Republic
topped in New York City enroute
O Chile where he is to represent his
government as Ambassador Extra
rdinary at the inaugural of Presi-
lent-elect Aguirre Cerda.
While in New York he granted an
interview to the press in which he
discussed the food problem, the
ceiling of the Loyalists toward the
Americas and the religious question.
Among the major problems facing
the Spanish Government, probably
he most distressing of all, is the
problem of feeding the civil popula-
ion. this having been aggravated by
two principal causes, the Spanish
)fficial said:
Cd The difficulty of Transports
ion between the two zones of the
loyist tepritory-the southern zone
(Catalonia) which is consumer
egion.
ca The vast increase of popula-
ion in certain regions, caused by
he influx of refugees who have fed
rom the towns invaded by Franco
o avoid the tyranny of his Fascist
egime.
Senior Prieto said that American
friends of the Spanish Republic can
ready relieve the undernourished
condition of several million women
and children by sending food to
them back of the Loyalist lines. The
government of the Spanish Republic
he stressed, wishes to maintain the
closest and most cordial relations
with all the countries of both Amer
tcas, for aside from the strong rae
,al Impulses there exists profound
political relationship.
Democracy in Europe seems ter
rified by the brutal acts of totalitar-
ian countries who have found in
terror the means to enlarge their
power, he emphasized. They have no
respect for either solemnized treat
les nor the laws and customs which
constitute International law. It is
ror this reason that tho Spanish Re

Representative Dies proposes

which is under the control CT for

a step in the right direction because
it will bring large number OF sus-
picious and fairly inocent socle-
ties under closer study, and deter
mine whether they are merely
meeting for the purpose of honoring
the memories of the old home town
abroad, or looking for advantages
for the Netherlands in a way that Is
detrimental to the interests OF the
United States as their adopted
country.

ed from the big trusts an indus
trial concerns onto the doctors. The
American Medical Association was
evidently the target because it in
cluded doctors from all over the
country in its membership.
Indictments of these doctors
seems like a very drastic and cir
cusy-performance as prelude to a
new national health movement. 1t
naturally clouds the movement. The
nations doctors are intimately con-
nected with the home life Of the
American people. Notwithstanding
this fact they are indicted like
deep-dyed villains. AS matter Of
fact there is no profession that
stands higher in the estimation of
the American public than our
doctors.

WOMEN AT WORK

The unemployment census con-
Quoted in recent months reveals the
fact that there are now more than
80 million men and IA million
women in the labor market. 1t is a
we'll known fact that he
increase in women workers has
multiplied many times since the be-
ginning of the World War. The post
card census taken last November re-
vealed that there were 2,74O,OO0
more women employed or seeking
to be employed than had been ex-
pected on the basis of the 1884
census.
