process is employed for extracting
the oils of citronella and vetiver.
United States industry needs at
least 5000 tons yearly of these
precious grass oils, all of which
must be imported from tropical
regions. Until Pearl Harbor we
went half way around the world to
the Far East for them. Then Japan
cut OF our main source of supply.
Many of our wal. industries were
threatened. New supplies of the
vital products had to be obtained.
Middle America came to the res
cue. Paintings of small seed beds
of these grasses were made by the
United Fruit Company. They pros
pered. Each year the acreage in
creased. Now Middle American
grass oils are considered among
the best used by U. S. manufac-
turers.
With peace once again a reality
we can continue buying these oils
right at our own back door. This
would be the good neighbor policy
In action = an assured source of
supply Of ingredients for more per-
fume and aromatics for us and more
prosperity for Middle America Any

in house-cleaning, you must move a bed, grip the center of the foot or head-board and remember, easy does it. Never yank it by a defense less leg.
 Don't move chairs over uneven surfaces and don't allow the man of the house to sit astride the back of a chair. Keep pillows of an uphol- stered chair pumped to distribute filling and to prevent the mating that intended cushions develop.
 Washing the face the your fur niture is as sound an idea as wash ing your own, because dirt mixes in with wax and polish to mask fine grain and dim luster. To wash, you needn't be afraid to use studs whip ped up from mild soap and tepid water, if you'll take care to dry down after you scrub. The washing trick is to dip a soft cloth into suds, wiring out, and apply to remove sur face soil and to flush sticky wax and-polish residue out of crevices.

in an expansive enough mood to be told in an off-hand manner, T bought new fur coat today"
 Few men could limit themselves to 100 words a day at home, either. How would they get by when they came home after win ming golf game, or after telling the boss off, or stopping for be- fore dinner drink that heightened into three.
 So cutting conversation down to 100 words day each for husband and wife is just one mans idea of an ideal marriage relationship. QUALITY NOT QUANTITY
 But something actually could be done to keep the conversation in a home from so often leading to the divorce court. In the first year of marriage a couple is sure to make many conversational blunders But after that, they ought to be able to keep their conversation from getting them into trouble.
 For within years time both hus- band and wife should be able to fig ure out which topics to label, Never Dlscuss,' which ones to label, "Go Easy Here" and which ones to label. Choose Exactly Right Mo- ment for Bringing Up These"
 It's quality, not quantity of con versation that matters. For with just 100 words any husband or wife could start family fight.
