Congressman John M. Coffee
has protested against the use of
"perishable limestone" in construct
ing federal buildings as an econ
omy measure when either sand
stone or marble will last from $50
to 200 years longer at a slight ad-
ditional cost.
This news was contained in a
United Press dispatch Saturday.
In a conference with members
of the senate and house, Coffee at
tackled the recent action of the
procurement division of the treas
ury in calling for limestone in con-
struction of the new war depart

LOGGING SUIT
NEARING CLOSE

Quinault Indians were expected
to learn Saturday afternoon
whether they will continue to use
the governments selective method
OF logging on their reservation. or
whether the "clear-cut" system
will be employed.
Their case in federal district
court here reached the final stages
before Judge Leon r. Yankwich
at noon when A. r. Alderman.
Aberdeen attorney representing
the Indians, implored the court to
enjoin the government from U.S.
ing the selective system. which he
said was preventing the Indians
from enjoying the fun benefits Of
the timber stands.
Oral Decision
After Ackerman's arguments to
the court, Judge Yankwich, at
Assistant u. S. Attorney Oliver
Mains request, ordered a recess.
Malm began his arguments in the
afternoon.
Judge Yankwich was to hand
down an oral decision in the
afternoon and thus end a case
which had attracted the interest
Of lumbermen throughout the
world.
Called DISADVANTAGE
During the case, the Indians
argued that the selective method
Of logging had worked to their
advantage since 1t was enforced
in 1885 under q regulation decreel
by Secretary of Interior Harold
Ickes.
In his plea to the court, Acker-
man argued that the government
was trespassing on the rights Of
the Indians by holding back por-
tons Of the reservation for selec-
tive logging. He said the Indians
had no voice in the matter of log
ging their land.

hungry and eager to face the day.
She dressed quickly and let her

Not until she reached the street

that she had no notion whatsoever
as to where she worked. or exactly
what time she should report to
work. She remembered that one

That's where she was supposed
to look after an adding machine
when the customers at the grocery
store brought the goods they
wished to purchase to a turnstile.
But where in all of big New York
City was that Serv-U-Well grocery
store located?
Perhaps there were a dozen or
more of them in a city the size
of New York.
And when. she got to the par
ticular one she was supposed to
go to what would the name of the
proprietor be-
Which cash register or adding
machine would she use? Her sis
ter had said there were several.
But worry to end worries-what in
the world should she do next?

UNCLE RAYS CORNER -Tunnc Acid Ointment for Burns

Never put Iodine on burn!
That is rule to remember. Iodine
Is good for cut, if you don't use
too much of it, but not for a burn.
There are three kinds of burns,
and they are classed as first. second
and third degree. In a first degree
burn, the skin becomes red. In
the second degree, the skin Is
blistered. In the third degree, the
burn goes deeply into the flesh, and
the flesh may be 'charred."
For a first degree burn, a person
may use one of the common burn
ointmeriSs" sold at drug stores. He
may also apply baking soda mixed
with water. A tablespoonful Of the
soda is placed in a glass Of water
to make the solution
The greatest forward step in
treating burns has taken place IN
the past few years. 1t Is the use
of tannic acid.
Tannic acid may be obtained from
pot of tea. The longer the tea
leaves have been in the tea, the
more tanic acid in the liquid.
1t is better, however, to keep
tannic acid in the medicine chest.
It may be obtained in powdered
form, or in an ointment.

Don't Take
Ny Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Music, Maestro, Please

Maestro is word of three syl-
lables with the accent on the Sec
ond, which rhymes with "yes."
Correct pronunciation: mah-ESS-
tro.
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accented0
Baton is French word that
means staff or truncheon. Do you
say "ba-TAHN," rhyming the Sec
ond syllable with con, don, non?
Sorry, but you will not find this
popular pronunciation in the die
tionaries.
Websters, Winston's, Macmillan's
ETC., show as first choice the French
pronunciation, which they list as
"ba-toN." The capital IN" is the
dictionary method of indicating
that the IN is nasalized as In the
French words bon, mon, ton" p"
There is no sound like this in Eng
lsh. Readers who are not familiar
with diacritical marks mistake "ba-
TON" for a-TAHN" hence the
common error.
The second choice pronunciation
Is good rhyme for "fatten." This
is the pronunciation heard in the
name Baton Rouge.
