Chicago, H., Dec. 10.-The great new industrial activities occasioned by the defense program have creat- ed a demand for industrial property greater than any known for more than a decade. To aid in the mo- bilization of industrial lard and building resources, industrial real estate specialists of the country are now in process of forming an Amer ican Society of Industrial Realtors, a technical group of qualified men in this important field. The pro- posed new society, to be a branch of the National Association of Real Estate Boards will have its organ ization meeting in Washington, D. C., Friday, January 10.
 Plans for the new organization, expected to be of great service both to government bodies and to private industries, were reviewed at meet ing of the organization committee just concluded in Chicago. District organization is planned in each of eleven industrial regions of the country.
 In view of the pressure for emer- gency action, identifica tion of per- sons skilled and experienced in the location of industrial plants and rapid mastering of facts on the sig nificant factors of plant location be- come of great public importance, the organization committee, headed by Joseph J. Greenberg, of Philadel- phia, points out. Exchange of in- formation relating to industrial real estate and mutual cooperation in exchange of listings are objectives of the proposed organization.
 The new society expects to coop crate with national, state and city departments concerned with use of industrial space and with civic agencies, public utilities, insurance companies and other financing agencies concerned with industrial development.
 AS to long-terrn significance of the proposal, Newton c. Farr. Chi cago, president of the association, -tates: ANI

WOMAN,S REALM -


And it also is widely seen in draped turbanS, blouses, separate skirts. Wool jersey gloves are new.
 William Heller, important cre- ator of the type of beatutiful fab- rices on which designers depend for inspiration as well as the suc- cessful carrying out of their own ideas, makes wool jersey with a satin back for the woman who always says, 'tBut I can't wear jersey next to my sIxin."
 The Heller jersey collection in- cludeS materials as heavy and strong as tweed, others as fragile and sheer as cobwebs, and many. as soft-as down cashmere types. When wool jersey is given a satin back, incidentally, the material will not cling to the figure.
 BLACK SILK JERSEY
 FOR EVENING GOWNS
 Silk jersey is seen in suave little black dresses" And repeated in white mad paStelS Tor evening and dinner. One particularly stunning evening gown, by a famous desig- ner is of white silk persey with a wide girdle-belt of crushed gold kidskin, studded with vari-colored stones. The sleeves are long and full; the neckline semi-nude. White silk jersey flowers, with gold kid piping on the edges of the petals, make headdress to wear with it.
 Another evening gown, of bag herra jersey, has daring, diamond shaped, cut-out midriff. Designed by Jo Copeland, it molds the figure becomingly, has a heart shaped decolletage and tiny sleeves.
 Among the daytime creations of wool jersey, Hattie Carnegie's bright green dress. shown with brilliant purple tweed coat, is outstanding. The dress has shirred yoke at the top of the skirt as well as at the neckline.

JOHNNY, DON'T BLOW YOUR
 NOSE

JOHNNY, DON'T BLOW YOUR It is curious how many readers express confidence in the soundness of my teachings about colds" and in the same letter ask my advice about their "colds," although I have said a thousand times there is no such ailment as "cold" and when any one, layman or doctor, talks about "cold' don't know what he is talking about and neither does he, in my judgement. Any advice might give without diagnosis of your condition wouldn't be worth the freight on it.
 Blowing the nose in the ordinary way tends to increase congestion and stuffineSs or obstruction when coryZa, rhinitis, or inflammation of the nasal lining is present in the presence of infection it is dangerous, for it tends to force infective sec rections (containing the grems) into the Eustachian tube and middle ear cavity or into a sinus. Probably many cases of middle ear inflam- nation and mastoiditis or sinusitis begin in this way.
 The best advice I can give about blowing your nose is Don't"
 In any circumstance if you feel you must blow your nose in spite of my assurance that it is never necessary to do so, then at any rate the more gently you do it the better and it is better not to pinch the nostrils at all while blowing the nose. Remembering that the nasal passages are horizontal and extend straight back when you sit or stand erect, if you must blow your nose hold the handkerchief or toilet pa per just under, not in contact with the nose and bend the head forward and breathe out through the nose just forcibly enough to aid drainage.

Household Hints

 By the time she is 12, simple good grooming routines should be as natural a part of any little girls daily life as going to school, study ing at home, eating, sleeping or taking care of her pets.
 The 12-year-old who has been trained we'll no longer has to be reminded to wash her hands be- fore coming to the table or even asked whether or not she remem- bered to brush her teeth before going is bed, or in the morning. BATH IS QUICK
 AS WASHING
 The 'teen-age girl realizes that warm bath in the tub requires very little more time than face, neck and arm scrubbing at the wash bowl. She uses mild cream or powder deordorant under her arms after her bath as a matter of course.
 She brushes her hair three or four times a week. She puts cream on her lips when they are chapped, uses ndlQ loGlou Ou ud1luS dAAI wrists frequently.
 She does not use makeup until later on in her teens, of course. When she and her mother have finally agreed that the time has come for nose powdering, her mother orders face powder especial ly designed for skins of the very young and teaches the child how to put it in smoothly and sparing- ly.
 DON'T IGNORE
 SKIN BLEMISHES
 Chronic skin blemishes should not be ignored, regardless of a young ster's age or sex. Hell outgrow them" is something smart parents do not say any more. They take their child, girl or boy, to the family doctor and let him prescribe treat ment, diet or whatever is necessary Very often, change of diet is the answer, with salads and fresh vege- tables and lean meat substituted for an over abundance of sweets, fats and rich foods. Sometimes ex- ternal treatment is in order. But the doctor decides. And the entire family sticks by his decision.

New York - Jersey is important fabric news this season. American designers like it because it lends itself equally to draping, pleating, shirring and simply tailored effects. They can dress jersey down for the schoolgirl or dress it up for her sophisticated older sister. They can. And they do.
 There are wool jersey dinner suits and evening gowns as well a day dresses and little suits in almost every important, American designed collection. Such creators

THE WOMEN Pity The Hubby Whose Wife Is Triangle" Fiction Fan

woman in his own office who has her eye on him. Maybe it is good- looking young divorcee moved to town to whom the wife has (un- fortunately been nice and invited to parties.
 Maybe it is the mans first wife, bent on showing him that their di- vorce was a horrible mistake. Or perhaps it is the girl who tilted him just before his wife gladly took him on the rebound.
 FICTIONAL WIFE
 IS ALWAYS LUCKY
 Anyhow, trouble looms in the form of another woman. The other wo- man doesn't get the husband in the end. But it isn't due to any honor of the husband that she doesn't. It is because the wife figures out a way to outsmart her-or luck plays into the wife's hands.
 Just at the last paragraph the marriage is miraculously saved. But is that what Mrs. Housewife re- members when she puts down her magazine and thinks of her own marriage? No. She thinks about that poor wife-who just happened to find out in time that her husband was crazy about another woman. And-being feminine as well as hu- man-her next thought is, T won der if George is putting anything over on me?"
 Poor George-if he is, or if he isn't.

 o. Please give directions for care of the skin.
 A. The best way to clean most skin, unless it is very sensitive, is to wash with a wash cloth, using warm, soft water and a mild toilet soap. Work up a good father and rub it into the nose and skin where blackheads and clogged pores are frequent. Rinse with warm water, and get all the soap out of the pores. Finally, dash on some cold water to increase the circulation of the blood and "tone up" the skin. If the skin feels dry and parched, rub with a little cream of the lanolin type, or with an oil such as almond, sesame. olive, or peanut. For an oily skin scrub your face awith a com pleXion brush and pat it with cold water or other astringent after wards. Oily skin needs to be washed more frequently than dry skin; at least twice a day.
 o. Is the label "pre-shrunk" a guarantee that the garment will not shrink further?
 A. No; it merely means that some shrinking has taken place.
 O. How may I bleach stains on furnitureP
 A. Allow a saturated solution of chests, pretty knitting bags, many more items.
