WhyGrow
Old?
Bv Josebhine Lo,pman

The remarks we hear all about us
on hot days are supposed to be
psychologically bad! Such sayings
as, isn't the heat awful?" This
is the hottest day on record, they
tell me-" II don't think I can stand
it," are supposed to highlight sum-
mer discomfort and make one hot
ter than ever.
Being q heat sufferer myself and
a lover of falling snow, I sometimes
wonder! A good grippe once In
awhile seems to get steam off my
chest as well as out of the climate.
Maybe I shouldn't even write col
ums about keeping cool for fea- they
will make you hotter!
Nevertheless, there are hedges and
tricks one can employ which make
very hot weather more bearable.
Few of us can climb to a mountain
top or dream by the seaside for more
than two weeks out of the hot
season. Therefore, I am today CIV
ing you suggestions which I. and
many others. have found to be
helpful.
/. 1t makes big difference in
your tolerance to heat if you work
up good perspiration once day.
Yes, I mean exercise! This really is
q fact. You are cooler all day long,
once you have been dripping wet.
2. Keep your astringents in the
ice box. These are pore closers and
they are much more refreshing If
they are ice cold.
3. The way you dress makes a big
difference. Don't dress at all If
you can help it, An upsweep hair
do, no stocking and backless dresses
all give you a big boost toward sum-
mer comfort. No matter what the
saleslady says, pastels and white
are cooler than dark colors, even
sheers. Dark colors absorb more
heat while light colors reflect a
larger proportion of heat rays. No
dark sheers for me unless can
dash intoa car and quickly get to an
air-conditioning unit! There are
so many attractive cottons and white
sheers that we really should take
advantage of them! .
Go swimming as often as you can
You know from experience that this
cools one of for hours afterward.
If you cannot go swimming, cool of
under the garden hose.
5. Use bubble baths luxuriously.
6. Eat cooling foods.
7. Don't hurry. Try not to worry

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
COMMENT.
From Mrs. E. G. E., Arlington.)
Reply to Mrs. v. H. D., Arlington
Damp Easements: We bought 100
pound sack of calcium chloride for
our nusty smelling basement. Put
it in a container which you may
purchase at a hardware store OF
department store, or, you can make
one of your own after looking at q
bought one" to see the principal
of the thing. I have heard that this
one 1O0-pound sack is enough fol
the summer season. 1t takes the
moisture out of the air and 1t drips
down into the container provided
for it. Do not empty the water from
the container on your lawn, as 1t
will kill the grass.
New Rugs Made From Old Ones:
I think this Is a wonderful way to
be rid of your old rugs and the rugs
made from the company that you
send your rugs to are beautiful. My
mother had two rugs made just re-
Gently, one 12x18 and the other a
9x12. They cost $3.50 and the beauty
of them is that they are reversible
They are heavy and lie fiat on the
floor without the need of rug pad
I don't think you can 60 wrong II
you decide to have one made.
Telephone Soliciting: Is there
anything that can be done about
these terribly annoying people that
call the busy housewife at any time
of the day to ask If she wants to
take out insurance, have her radio
repaired. see sweeper salesman
who will be in her neighborhood
soon, take a newspaper subscrip-
ton, etc? I wouldn't buy one. thing
from any company or business that
interrupts me during the day to ask
me about their products. There are
other ways to sell their ware with.

ourselves we can do something
about It.

WASHER.

(Fron1 Mrs. D. S. c., Arlington)
In reply to Mrs. r. E. s., Wash
ington, would say that we bought a
small automatic washer five months
ago for the same purpose and rea-
sons she describes and would rec
ommend it to her. We put three
runs Of clothes through, the same
suds, lifting the first two out and
rinsing in the sink. The last is
rinsed in the machine and whirled
dry. Then the Others are put in
and rinsed and whirled. We have a
length of hose to attach to the sink
faucet for filling the machine. 1t
has its own hose for draining.
This washer gets the clothes clean,
and is not hard on them. I even
put in my nylons, but do not leave
them very long. 1t is handy to have
the small washer in the kitchen, for
one can be doing something else
while it washes. It will hold nine
diapers or three housedresses.

made in the larger model. I bought
it six months ago and use it 3 or
times a week. Do all of my laun-
dry with the exception of bed
spreads, which 1t will not hold. 1t
washes clothes just as clean as the
large models, but naturally takes
longer as it will not hold a large
amount q pounds of dry clothing
I don't think any one could go
wrong buying these small machines
and I intend to keep mine even
after I have a home with room for
a large model.

Three young musicians had what
NAV have been their first appear
ance in Constitution Hall last night
where the Chamber Music Guild
presehted addition winners in a con-
cert. OF this years contestants, Har-
riet Serr. pianist, of Philadelphia,
and Stanley Weiner, violinlst, OF
Washington, received the award
which carried with 1t cash prize
and this public appearance. Phyllis
Hoyland. soprano, winner last year,
completed the trio giving the pro-
gram.
The presentation was designed to
give the winners the most advan-
tageous surroundings. A symphony
orchestra, whose services were do
mated by the Musicians Protective
Union, Local 161 of this city, and
paid for from the record and tran
scription Royalty Fund of the
American Federation of Musicians,
was directed by Mishel Piastro. AS
the concert was free, large audi
ence filled the hall with distin-
guished members of the guild oc-
cupying the boxes. Souvenir pro-
grams were sold and the entire at
mosphere of the event was OF a
professional character.
Miss Serr, who was also flnalist
in the Naumburg Foundation con-
test, was the first to appear, her
vehicle being the Beethoven Con-
certo No. s. in which her already
developed musical taste was appar-
ent. She has a fine, clear tone, par
ticularly lovely in a pianissimo and
a dexterous finger technique. Her
performance was we'll thought out

heard in two ariaS and while her
natural voice is of excellent quality,
she has not yet mastered fully its
direction or control. She sang the
Mi chiamano Mimi" from Puccini's
La Boheme" and the Jewel Song"
from Gounod's Faust" with ease
throughout her range. but faulty
breathing caused variations in
phrasing.
Both these young musicians are
under 20, Miss Serr being 10 and
Miss Hoyland Is years DID, They are
ON the threshold OF careers which
their talent could warrant if not too
hastily undertaken. A performance
in Constitution Hall is not easy for
the routined artists, SO that an un-
derstandable nervousness was bound
to be felt.s 1t is part OF the testing
all aspirants to public recognition
must face and the Chamber Music
Guild is to be commended for pro-
viding one of the all too few op-
portunities for them to gain concert
experience.
Mr.. Weiner, recently appointed
concertmaster of the New York City
Orchestra, has played often in pub
lie since he appeared as soloist with
the National Symphony at one of the
children's concerts at the age OF d.
Closer to date was the sonata re-
cltal given in June in the National
Gallery of Art. He has a superb
technique and beautiful tone, both
proper mediums for the brilliant
Paganini Concerto in D major
which he played last night. The
fuency of rapid double-stop pas
sages, the security of f1ageolets, and
feeling for the cantabile measures

Paganini concerto, took away from
the complete excellence of presen-
tation that otherwise held all the
required dash and expertise.
His tenure as musical director of
the Longene Symphonette has given
Mr.. Piastro a sound knowledge of
conducting which he applied to fin
ished readings last night of Weber's
"Euryanthe" Overture and Brunelli's
arrangement for orchestra of the
"Andante" from one of Bach's violin
sonatas. Having the fine art of shad-
ing at his command, he was also
careful not to overpower the soloists
with the orchestral tone. Mr.. Pias-
tro, also first violinist of the Cham
Der Music Guild Quartet, has been
active In promoting the helpful to
young musicians program of the
guild.
