ITHOSE whose architectu-
L raj tastes lean toward the
modern look will be interested
in the two houses pictured
here.
Situated at opposite ends of
the country, the one at the
top being located in the East
Coasts Hudson River valley,
and the other in southern Cali
fornia, each of them is never
theless readily adaptable to
construction in any other Sec
ton.
Both houses were built on
hillside sites, and both were
planned in accordance with the
modern desire for all-on-one-
floor convenience while at the
same time keeping service and
living quarters completely sep
arate from the bedroom area.
In the house in the top pic
ture, the big living room, with
its dining alcove, completely
occupies the center of the
house, facing the front, where
the view is. At one end, behind
screen porch that also faces
the view, is the kitchen; at the
other end is the bedroom wing.
A basement takes care of heat
ing arrangements.
A most unusual feature of
the house is that, for protec-
ton against the heat of the
suns direct rays in summer,
the fiat roof of the house is de-
signed to hold an inch and a
half of water. Exterior walls
are of cinder block.
In the case of the California
house, cement walls give a
somewhat similar appearance
to the exterior, though the de- |
sign itself is quite definitely |
different.
This is three-bedroom |
home, with all of the bedrooms, |
plus good-sized dressing |
room, in one wing; the corner |
living room, dining room, and |
kitchen occupy second wing, |
sharply distinct from the other |
by being set off at an angle. |
Thereis also a dining porch. |
The garage is built into the
hillside under the bedroom
wing.

Helpful Tips On
Home Dyeing
By ELEANOR ROSS

IF there is one job that should be
failure proof, it is that of home dye
ing. The dyes are so excellent, so
fast, the colors so exquisite, the di-
rections so explicit, that dyeing a
dress or a set of drapes, or what
have you, should be breeze. But
day after day we get letters, most
of them directing complaints against
the dyeing agent, or asking some
other excuse for an imperfect job.
Here are some suggestions that
may help to make an expert dyer
out of a novice.
First, it is a good idea to practice
on an old garment or piece of fab
ric, rather than risking something
good or useful. But don't dye it as
is. See to it that the article to be
dyed is clean, absolutely clean. AL
ways use container that will per-
nit the article to be moved about
freely, so that every smidgin of it
gets it's dye bath. Use laundry tubs
for very large pieces.
Color Remover
Don't Just redye. Start off by u.s.
ing color remover if you want an
expert job. Of course, for retinting
to the same shade or making it a
trifle deeper, that is not necessary.
One doesn't have to approximate
the exact color on the chart. If you
want a deeper shade use more dye;
for a lighter tone, less dye will be
needed. Remember that all colors
look darker when wet.
For permanent color results, the
material must be simmered over
heat in a wash boiler or other large
container. Light shades, especially
when used on articles that do not
require frequent laundering, should
be fast enough if hottest faucet wa
ter is used.
As for shrinkage, which is a fire.
quent complaint, it should be under
stood that q certain amount of
shrinkage is bound to occur. So
make sure that the article to be dyed
is large enough to allow for this.
Know what fabric is being dyed.
Such materials as acetate-rayon
taffetas and sharkskins, usually ac-
uuire plenty of large wrinkles in
the dyeing process. Don't dye lined
coats, suits or jackets, but entrust
these to a professional dyer who
can handle two varieties Of fabric
in one job. There are new all-pur-
nose dyes that work on nylon and
certain types Of rayon, while the
regular dyes work on pure linens,
eottons. silks and woolens.

Safe WAYS
OF Hair
Removal
By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD.

THE excessive growth of hal
over one or more parts of the bod,
Is called hypertrichosis. This con
dition may occur in either sex, bu
is Of special concern to women VIII,
are apt to worry about it more a
a detriment to good looks than fo,
its possible bearing on health.
While it is true that excessive
hair may occur in women who are
otherwise perfectly healthy ane
normal, it may also be an indication
of certain serious conditions, such
as tumor of the adrenal glands, 10.
Gated just above the kidneys, tumo1
of the ovaries, or of the pituitary
gland at the base of the brain.
Rare Occurrence
Fortunately, these disorders are
of very rare occurrence. Neverthe-
less, they are also so grave that in
any disturbance of normal hair
growth, they must be ruled out be-
fore other treatment is started. This
requires careful study by the doc
tor, including an X-ray of the skull
if there is any question of tumor
Of the pituitary.
Once it is established that none
of these serious conditions is caus-
ing excessive growth of hair, treat
ment aimed at getting rid of it may
be started.
Satisfactory Method
By and large the most satisfac-
tory method Of dealing with it is
shaving, and most doctors will ad-
wise this course even though it does
not appeal to their women patients.
Most women have the idea that re-
peated shaving will not only make
the hair coarse but will cause it to
grow more rapidly. Neither of these
things is true.
The alternatives to shaving all
have more or less serious objections.
X-rays will cause wasting of the
skin, the formation of large blood
vessels and, sometimes, severe itch
ing. Thus, the woman who uses this
method runs a chance of substitut-
ing one blemish for another and, at
the same time, lets herself in for
considerable discomfort.
The use of powders or pastes con-
tanning chemical known as barium
sulphide is Stunned by great many
doctors on the ground that it not
only tends to redden the skin but
stimulates the hair growth as well.
Chypnic Inflammation
PULLING III hair out with tweez-
ers may cause chronic Inflammation
around the hair roots.
Removal of the hair by the cleo
tric needle is slow and painful, but
is useful when only limited num-
ber of hairs need to be removed.
When an excessive amount of hair
occurs during the change of life, as
sometimes happens, treatment with |
stilbestrol should be employed to
relieve whatever symptoms are
present. However, this substance
has no effect on the growth of hair.
Women who have disturbances of
hair growth should consult their |
physicians for examination as soon
as possible. 1t is important that
tumors, or any glandular disturb
ance which may be present, be de-
termined and proper treatment car
ried out.

Dewey Uses Wrong
Education Figures
Teachers Claim

New York (LPA)-Teachers and
education officials in New York
state are still attacking Gov
Thomas E, Dewey's claims that he
has a good record of adequate fin
ancing for the states schools.
James Cullen, state director of
the conservative Natl Education
Assn last week challenged Dewey's
claim that he had increased state
aid to schools by 500. Actually
Cullen says, the figure is closer to
27qs.
Because the Republican presiden-
tial candidates state administra-
tion has consistently refused to
provide more adequate state aid
Cullen says that local school dis
tricts have had to increase real
estate taxes by S52,000,0C0 more
than was needed when Dewey be-
came governor.
Cullen also contested Dewey's
claim that New York state teach
ers' salaries are the highest in the
nation. California teachers on the
average earn more, and outside OF
New York City salaries in the state
are "shamefully" below standard
he charged.

Big Business Logs In UN Child Help:
New Appeal Made To Corporations

New York City (ILNS).-Bie
corporations and business concerns
have contributed very little to the
United Nations Appeal for Child
rem (UNAC), it has been revealed
at UN headquarters, Lake Success
N. Y.
While big business has been fall
ing down in the drive to aid under
! fed children of all nations, more
than a million citizens of the Un-
tied States have responded to the
appeal, which all organized labor
has endorsed and supported.
Heads of. the campaign in this
country said that up to September
2 only S4,6G0,000 had been turned
over to the national headquarters
of American Overseas Aid-UNAC
at 80 Broadway. Another $4,000,-
600 has been collected, they esti-
mated, by the 25 foreign reliet
agencies that banded together un-
der the name OF AOA.
At the United Nations headquar-
ters, officials continued to hold out
hope that before AOA-UNAC ends
| its campaign. on September 80 a
separate United States drive woulC
be organized to carry on at least
through United Nations Week, be-
ginning October "a. Meanwhile
however, the directors of AOA-
UNAC were pinning their hopes
on a new appeal that they have
just made to 1000 business corpor-
ations throughout the country.
Lee Marshall, national chairman
of the joint-campaign, announced
that he had sent letters to all large
corporations asking for contribu-
tions to the crusade for children. >
Responsibility for the poor res
ponse in this country to the world
wide appeal has been attributed in
part to administrative difficulties
and to the linking of the United
Nations appeal with that of the 2E
other relief agencies in AOA. Since
mid-July, the agencies have been
freed from their union with AOA
to campaign on their own.
In addition to the AOA totals
several of the 25 agencies have col
lected funds under private auspices
AOA officials estimate that this
will bring the final total to about
$18,000,000.

Economic HghIghts

What do the masses Of the Russ
ian people-the 200,000,000 indivi-
duals who make up Stains enor-
NOUS reservoir of manpower-think
of the policies of the Kremlin? Are
they as bitterly opposed to the
West and all its works as the con-
trolled Soviet press and radio in
dicate? Do they believe that COM
munism is the hope of the world
and that capitalism must be des-
troyed by one means or another?
These and kindred questions have
long occupied the minds of those
concerned with the U.S.-U.S.S.R.
problem. The difficulties that lie in
the way of answering them con-
clusively are obvious-few Ameri-
cans have had extensive touch with
rank-and-file Russians, and the
Kremlin has made it steadily more
difficult for the Americans who
live in Russia to know the people.
One of the most interesting of the
answers recently appeared in the
Saturday Evening Post, in the form
of an article called "In Defense Of
the Russian People" 1t was writ
ten by Alexander Barmine, who
was once a Soviet general and dip
lomat, but came to this country in
disillusionment before the war
During the war, he entered oul
army as a private and later served
with the OSS.
Mr.. Barmine's title pretty wei
explains his thesis. He believes that
we make a terrible mistake whef
we consider the Russian masses
and the Russian leaders to be tar
red with the same brush. This atti-
tude, he says, rejects the Russian
people as potential allies of the
democratic world in its crucial
struggle with the Soviet totalitar-
ian empire" These people, he goes
on, "are not the authors, bat the
principal victims, Of the Kremlin's
crimes"
If Mr.. Barmine is correct, the
Russian masses have been ruthless
ly and efficiently enslayed by then
masters. Stain, according to him.
has 100000 of his countrymen
in concentration camps. He has a
secret police force Of 100000
members, with almost unlimited
power to imprison and execute,
who keep the nation in line. So, he
says, "when we judge the conduct
of the individual Russian, we must
keep in mind the shadow of the
secret police behind him."
1t is certainly true, as Mr.. Bar
mine points out, that the Russian
people have for centuries been en-
gagged in bloody struggles for hu-
man rights. The final overthrow of
the monarchy was followed by a
