Heat and cold affect the tension of the
strings, the keys and even the finish.
Steam heat tends to dry and crack the
fine woods and finishes, and dampness
will rust the strings. It's possible to
place a half-pound of slaked lime in
the bottom of the piano to absorb the
excess dampness in the air. Too warm
a room may encourage the breeding Of
moths in the felts. 1t is advisable
to hang little bags Of camphor inside

with the action.

an order fixing basic rate of 20 cents
for service employees, 80 cents for
others, exclusive of tips. Curb or car
hoppers are simply restaurant en-
ployes who work outside. Often they
must buy uniforms much more costly
than any used by inside mattresses.
Some California employers required
uniforms costing up to $25 and $40
