Dear Miss NOVEL;: I have bought
three new shower curtains since last
January because ours seem TO mil
dew and become so unsightly that
I cannot stand them. Is there any
thing that can be done about
this? l.. P.
Answer-Your shower must be
very poorly ventilated to cause this
to happen so often. See what you
can do about getting current OF
air through the bathroom, even if
you have TO turn on an electric fan.
Be sure that the curtain is opened
out to its full width so that it dries
thoroughly each time it Is used.
Take it down once in 10 days, swish
it through warm soap Suds and
hang it out of doors to dry. This
will kill the mildew fungus. Next
time you buy a curtain I would sug-
gest that you look at some of the
new ones that are guaranteed not
TO mildew. They would be a good
investment for you.

Answer-There may be several
reasons for this. Maybe you do not
have the real porch or outdoor paint
which will not discolor in rain, sun
or soapsuds. Or. you may be using
a too-strong soap. Either OF these
might cause the paint to disintegrate

Treasury Looks Ahead
With New Confidence

ducing greatly increased revenue, not as
drain upon national income but as a result
of growth in production and improvement in
standards of living
All of us fOIeSee the prospect of greater
financial burdens. Yet, instead of COM
plants, we hear continued expressions of
readiness to sacrifice to defend the edifice we
have been erecting over the past century and
half. This spirit of unity and determina-
tion Is one of the most heartening aspects of
the picture envisioned within the Treasury
the next four years.
Encouraged by this spirit. we fee, a respon-
sibility to press for elimination of the ineQuit-
able tax-exemption on interest from govern
mental securities, to arrange own bor-
rowing program so that every citizen and
even every school child who wishes may par
ticlpate, and to urge constantly that in all
principle of ability to pay be retained.
Meanwhile, we do not intend to forget
this administrators eight-year goal of rais-
ing the standards of the less fortunate Dor
uons OF our population. We are discovering
that welcome by-product Of the unwelcome
need to prepare for our common defense has
peen acceleratlon toward that goal with the
present rapid expansion of production bring

President of the United States Perhaps
sensitive on account of his age he scorned
to ride in the traditional carriage down
Pennsylvania avenue, but proceeded TO the
Inauguration astride white horse
The weather was cold and rainy but

lengthy inaugural address literally studded
with classical illusions. A month later the

option of either swearing to the oath of
Office, or affirming it. Quakers supposed to
be opposed to oaths, on religious grounds; but
our one Quaker President. Herbert Hoover,
nevertheless was sworn in. Franklin K.
Pierce, an Episcopalian, was the only Presi-
dent to affirm. Pierce, an accomplished poll

inaugural address without even referring to
notes. The inaugural ball was foregone

THE Treasury Department looks ahead
to the next four years with full
Il realization of the tremendous prob
lens that will confront it, but 1t sur
veys this future with confidence developed
from hard-won achievements of the past
eight years.
On this Inauguration Day all of us find
ourselves in a period of transition in which
our general economy is shifting from ma
tional recovery effort to program adjusted
to the demands of total defense. Because the
administration has clung firmly to its pur-
pose of demonstrating that democracy can
have the will and energy to solve its prob
lens the Nation is today free of much strain
that it would otherwise encounter.
That is precisely the current position of
the Treasury. In my recent annual report
to the Congress on "the state of the finances"
I was able to indicate that We were closing
the books on the depression of the " '30s' with
the comfortable knowledge that, all things
considered, our fiscal and monetary affairs
are in a very satisfactory condition as we
embark upon the costly defense program.
We in the Treasury realize thoroughly
that the Government has made large ex-
penditures in the past eight years to promote
recovery. We know equally that the national
credit has never been more sound. We know
that by finding more effective employment
of the Nations fiscal resources, great in
creases in national income have been pro-
duced. And we know that these gains in
income have been real gains in the national
wealth.
A GAINST the strong def1ationary tide of
1881 and 1882, our democracy in action
has pulled together in the past eight years to
increase the availability of funds for produc-
tive effort, to make possible lower interest
rates for distressed owners of homes and
farms and to resist effectively deterioration o:
our human resources The result is that our
health and morale will not fail today under
the rigorous tests of defense requirements.
From the monetary viewpoint, We have the
qualification of knowing that our dollar has
become the standard currency of the world.
International chaos has washed huge flood
of capital to this country and the move
ment has brought problems in its wake, but
it is also testimony to the inherent sound
ness of our system.
If we now have great additional burdens to
meet because we are determined fully to
preserve our form of government, our way
of life and our living standards, we also are
fortunately endowed with the resources that
give us new strength to carry such load.
THERE is evidence of this strength in the
willingness and eagerness with which
Treasury securities are purchased in the open
roa'ket. There is evidence of it in the man.

that the one per cent employees
contribution to the fund shall not
be required on wages in excess Of

law the one per cent deduction ap-
parently is stopped only when an
employe has earned $4,000 from one
employer, and declared the system
has worked a hardship on many
actors. The deduction is to be stop
ped on notice from the employe,
