 o. Should good mahogany furni- ture show flngermarks? What will remove them?
 A. If properly finished and prop erly cared for, mahogany surface wil lnot show flngermarks unless the fingers themselves are greasy. When this happens, wipe the marks off with a soft cloth until just damp in mild soapsuds, dry by wiping the direction of the grain with a clean, soft, dry cloth.

 "Climb to beauty" is the motto of Hildegarde, blonde Cinderella singer of Milwaukee, Paris, and Manhattan. And there's something to that - something for every woman.
 "Ambling along the concrete and lounging at the surf club does not give you a stunning chassis" Hildy goes on. 50 I take the pretty paths across the field and hills. And I don't mind the fences"
 There hasn't been too much time in the country for Hildegarde. She sold ribbon at a Milwaukee base- ment counter, got her start singing with 8 travelling show, finally reached a Paris cafe-and there a kings applause for her singing made her famous overnight. She's been pretty busy, since, in the supper clubs of Paris, London and New York.
 SHE EXERCISES
 AT HOME, TOO
 Nevertheless, she gets week-ends fin the country pretty regularly. And she exercises at home during the week. stretching exercises es- pecially-So that she arrives at the dude ranch or farm, all hmbered and ready to start walking and climbing vigorously.
 Your vacation will pay out in your looks if you take the holiday in the country. It will pay out better if you have few week-ends at Q nearby farm beforehand And 1t will pay out best if you walk, stretch, bend some at home; and then, in the country, run, leap, and, yes, climb some.
 Sports are the most effective ex- ercise of course, because they're fun as well as active. So if you can ride, swim, play tennis or badmin- ton-godd. But you don't hame to do those. You only ned to hike over hill ap1 dale.
 Remember, the more obsctacles you take, the more you stir the cir- culation and strengthen muscles Breathe through your nose and breathe evenly. Naturally, you won't take the road up 8 mountain on your first day out, after years o1 vacationing in dainty resorts and cities. Most city-bound women however, are more tender-footed in mind than in physique.
 Do take care against slipping stumbling, falling. If you do, the worst you can get from roughing 1t is stiffness.
 And if you're lucky enough ever to have lived or spent much time in the country, you'll find that you take to outdoor action surprisingly quickly, even though you've skipped 1t for a lon gtime. This is a sum- mer for it-you've had a year of added physical and emotional stresses. Real country life over- comes both.

Mrs A M. Sobel added to her long string of victories by winning the two-session mixed pair event of the South Shore Tournament held recently at the Half Moon Hotel in Brooklyn, N. Y. Her part ner was Clagett Bowie of Baltimore, Md, with whom she had never played before.
 Today's hand helped them win. Sitting West, Bowie decided to open the only unbid suit. As South had bid two suits, 1t was probable that North was longer in hearts than South. The lead of the queen was brilliant attempt to pick up any low heart stopper in dummy. It turned out to be the killer. Against any other lead, declarer could have made the contract.
 South won the first heart and went over with the queen of clubs to try the diamond finesse When 1t lost, the defenders took three heart tricks and the ace of spades.

THE DOG WAS sURLY

Mrs. s. c. H. writes: Five years ago I stopped to pet a Boston ter- Tier. He jumped and bit my upper lip close to the nostril. It was a nasty wound pentrating to the gum. The woman who owned the dog put some Ca feeble "antiseptic" nostrum) on 1t and assured me the dog had always been quite healthy.
 The day following, the dog showed signs of illness and on the third day he became violent and the health doctor took him away and destroyed him. The diagnosis was rabies.
 As was 8 stranger to the own. CT of the dog I was not notified of this. Consequently had no further treatment.
 But when I discovered some three weeks later the circumstances of the dogs demise I hurried to the Board of Health and doctor there told me nothing could be done so far as Pasteur treatment was con- cerned.
 Now will you please tell me why I did not contract rabies? Or was I better off for not having Pasteur treatment?
 Assuming I believe in (a) the occurrence of rabies in man and (b) the use of PaSteur treatment, would offer these suggestions de- scribed.
 It was highly improper. for the owner of the dog to attempt to give any sort of first aid treatment to the wound if the service of phy- sician was available within an hour to two.
 It doesn't matter whether the dog has always been gentle, healthy or a great pet. IA dogs disposition probably has nothing to do with the dogs susceptibility to or immunity against any diSease-neither has a persons.
 The proper course in any such case is as follows:
 l. Have the dog confined un- der the observation of veterin- ary physician for two weeks.
 ?. Wait for the veterinary phy- sician to report whether the dog shows any sign of rabies. Only when the veterinary physician re- ports that the dog has developed signs of rabies should the victim receive PaSteur treatment.
 3. If the dog is killed or dies before a veterinary physician can make such test, have the head taken at once to the pathological laboratory designated by your lo- cal health department. for exam ination. If the laboratory test is positive" then, all health auth critics or most of them advise, the Pasteur treatment should be given at once.
 On the other hand. assuming l do NOT believe rabies happens in man, and that I would NOT take Pasteur treatment myself in any conceivable circumstances, the inci- dent described seems just another little affair that doesn't mean any, thing.

 So maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea for women to start trying to get themselves in shape before they are thrown into the job of carrying on alone at home while their men are fighting the war.
 The first thing they ought to do is get a check-up on their health, and get any fixing up done that has to be done.
 Then they ought to get in as good physical condition as pos- sibl,, watching their diet, getting enough sleep and exercise, and taking care of small illnesses so that they don't develop into something more serious.

After hard struggle they got Jim
Dalrymple appointed. The tall, active
Scotsman got 1000 in his civil SER
vice examination, but was opposed
by the mine operators. Later they got
to know and admire him as an honest
and brave man. With them he drafted
coal mining code for mine safety,
a model law, backed by both the oper-
ators and the miners that had no
trouble in being enacted by the Leg
islature. The six years I afterwards
served in the state labor department
were interesting and the various laws
were rigidly enforced. One reason
perhaps that we were kicked out, was
the fact that the business and manu-
featuring interests wanted no en-
forcement of labor laws.
REAL ENFORCEMENT
Connecticut can be congratulate
ed on its enforcement of the laws,
at least such was my experience
during the time that Joe Tone was
the Labor Commissioner. / had oc-
casiOns to seek the aid of his de-
partment while organizing and as
an officer of my union, and always
found him responsive and on the

a lot when we lost him from this
