---- ------ --- ---WE THE WOMEN III - - Has Poor Susie in a Quandary This Political Hair-Splitting

for her very best feature, her pride and joy--her wide blue eyes.
 But that isn't the worst. If that were all of the story she could sim ply show her support in some other way-and leave the political part ings of hair to those with the fea- lures for them, to those lucky girls with definitely Republican or Den- ocratic profileS.
 The trouble came when she looked at the hair-do of the man she Is "agin"-the man she has been cam- paigning against at the breakfast table every morning for months.
 That heair-do was meant for her.

CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY
 ALL THE TIME E. E. B. Writes:
 I think your counsel on rabies is well taken and reasonably developed, with one exception. Quoting in part:
 T fear the possible ill effects of Pasteur treatment. I myself would would not take it under any circum- stances" But
 If your physician advises Pasteur treatment, by all means accept his advice"
 This is equivalent to saying that after consulting a physician one should never under any circumStan- ces use his own Judgement, even if he becomes convinved that the phy- sician is brainless and prejudiced sap.
 Possibly you do not share my con- viction that there are degrees be- tween the status physician and the status god, nor admit that some who never attended medical school have the rudimentS of a brain.
 (E. E. B)
 Brain or no brain, I said that was my belief and advice. I, personally, would not take so-called Pasteur anti-rabies treatment in any cir cumstance. I am afraid of possible i'll effffects from such virus and I doubt that it has any remedical value.
 At the same time I believe and advise that if you have a physician at all you should follow his advice regardless of what you, with your superior intelligence, may think about it-or else fire the doctor and take charge of the case yourself. If I were bitten or scratched or clawed or otherwise wounded by animal or bird, whether or not there were any suspicion of rabies, I'd want the wound immediately treat ed by a physician as any infected wound is treated. I'd want an irn- mediate injection of serum, and perhaps the second dose of the anti tetanus serum (against lockjaw) a week later. That is all the treatment I'd want, no matter whether the animal or bird that bit me was mad or rabid or just an- noyed or playful.
 I'd have no medieval attempts at cauterizing the wound with "fum- ing nitric acid" If the doctor con- sidered the wound required 1t of course he would immediately excise the badly infected or damaged tis- sue. But no crude cauterizing for mine, thank you, no matter what politician thinks "fuming nitric acid" is the only agent which will destroy rabies virus"

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

The north star could not be seen
by Vasco da Cana and his men
when they landed at the Bay of st.
Helena. They were far south of the
equator, and could see the Southern
Cross but not the Big Dipper.
If it had not been for the compass,
Vasco da Cana would hardly have
dared the open ocean. AS it was,
he had the help of this invention,
which sailors of Europe had been
using for some time.
Wood and water were taken
aboard, and then came the order,
Set sail to 60 around the cape!"
Going around the cape was no
simple matter. Heavy winds blew
them back again and again, but they
kept up the struggle and at last met
success.
Now they sailed northward along
the Eastern coast Of Africa. They
were going through waters where
men from Europe never had been
before.
Now and then, Da Cana ordered
stops to obtain food, as we'll as wood
and water. The dark-skinned ma
tives traded with them at certain
splaces, but elsewhere ran away from
them. or hid in ambush and shot
arrows at the white skinned

zaffons with different numbers of
ZufferS in them).
B. If each zaffon had only l Zuf-

there would be over 100000 zuffers
in a drop of coop. But as there
cannot be more than 10 zuffers with
different numbers of zeakles in
them, there must be at least 999 800
with equal quantities of zeakles.
C. If only 10 Zaffons can have diff

10 zuffers can have different guam

The chief invited Alfonso to stay
overnight in the village. His white
skin seemed even more Of q wonder

For three months the ships were
piloted toward the north, with
further stops along the way. At
one place the Negro natives were
told they could come aboard the
flagship, and there they were given
presents by Vasco da Cana.
At length the fleet reached Ma

Metropolitan Area
Home Building Gains
1917 Over May, 1899
Private Construction
Unaffected by ;
Potential Fuctors

The Washington metropolitan area
participated in the record-breakine
residential building activities re-
ported during May for greater
portion of the country. In this Sec
ton there was an upswing of 80 per
cent over the valuation for May
1899.
A comment on the general build
Ing situation was given by E. H
Keefe, Washington manager OF
Dodge Reports, in his monthly sum-
mary. He said:
The intenSitlcation of the war
has not changed the upward trend
of American construction. Three
factors might effect the attitude of
private interests toward building
but not one of them has happened
yet. They are: First, what might be
termed a panic causing general cur
tallment or abandonment of build
ing projects, Another possibility is
q rapid rise in building costs Finally
governmental control of construction
TO give priority to preparedness
projects would have obvious results
1t must be repeated that none of
these things has happened"
Cites Per Cent Upturn.
Mr. Keefe continued by stating
that the May record of construction
performance in the 81 States east OF
the Rocky Mountains was per cent
better than in that month of 1899
Residential building is always a
good indicator" Mr.. Keefe said. The
contract total for May in the 81
State area was the highest since
August, 1929, and included a 9 per
cent gain over the figure for May
last year"
In that connection it was noted,
particularly, that the gains in con-
tract volume continued throughout
the month with no change of pace
after the blitGkrieg in Holland, Bel
GUM and France.

neck in the production program.
An airplane plant in New Jersey is
cited where the labor tournover was
$50 per cent a month. At that time
manufacturers reported that their
production was slowed down as
much as 80 per cent by reason of
inadequate living accommodations
In some instances it was necessary
to use beds in eight-hour shifts, the
same beds being by three different
persons. Such a condition should
be provided against in advance at
this time.
Vacant Land Available.
Land in the form Of existing
building sites with municipal facili-
ties installed is available in adequate
quantities in every American city or
town today. Existing vacant sites
should be made use of rather than
to encounter the delay involved in
taking raw land and installing
streets, sidewalks and utilities. Such
land can be obtained today at less
cost, we believe, than would be in
volved in the taking of raw land
and the installation of the utilities.
For the construction of small
homes there is available today
wide variety of plans which have
been approved by F. H. A. as suit
able for different communities and
varying climatic conditions. Private
builders also have such plans in
hand, and it would not be necessary
to waste either time or money on
the development of home plans"
