Wise Waste

In every home there are some
articles likely to accumulate which
are accident hazards and should be
discarded. According to MaybelIe
Ligon, Sussex County. Home Dem
OnstratiOn Agent, It is thriftier tn
throw them away than to save
them.
Clipped or cracked glassware
whether tumbler, canning jar. cook
ing or serving dish, should be re-
urea from use to prevent cuts as
Wen as possible waste of food.
Clipped enamelware also should go
out Of kitchen service because il
may leave tiny glasslike particles
IN food prepared or cooked in it.
Once china or pottery is cracked
or chipped, it cannot be kept sani-
tary by ordinary dishwashing. A
cracked cup, therefore, is a health
hazard as well as an accident haz-
ard.
Tipsy pots and pans have caused
many a serious burn. Unless a
cooking utensil can stand steady. il
is not safe to use on the stove.
Home medicine cabinets are in
clined to fill up over the years with
old pills, prescriptions and rene
dies which are not only a nuisance
but danger to have around. They
should never be saved for future
use except on specific instructions
from the physician and then
should be labeled carefully as to
use and dosage. Some drugs deter
iOrate with age and should not be
kept around for that reason.
Other items suggested by Miss
LigOn, which should go into the
trash are toys with sharp points
or edges or any loose parts which
a child can get into his mouth. Tiny
toys also have proved dangerous
for young children. If the toy. can
not be fixed so that it is entirely |
safe, it pays to throw it away, /
even If il is new.
A final word of warning came
from Miss LigOn in regard to these /
items: Be sure not to
throw them on trash heaps or in |
too open containers where children
can find them.

Bids Open Today for Razing
BUILDINGS in New Senate Site

Bids were to be opened at 8
pm. today in the Office Of the
architect of the Capitol for raz-
ing all the buildings on the site
for the new $20,000,000 Senate
Office Building.
Only 81 of the Sc buildings in
the square have been vacated
since negotiations began for pur-
chase and condemnation. The
new structure will be located east
of the present Senate Office
Building, facing First street be-
tween B and C streets NE. In
the square is Schott's Alley, a
slum area recently in the lime
light after inspections by mem
bers of Congress.
None of the buildings in
Schott's Alley has been razed,
and Senator Ellender, Democrat,
of Louisiana has introduced a
resolution to block clearance of
the entire site. He also has
blocked appropriation of funds
for erection of the new building,
claiming the old Office building
could be made to serve the pur-
poses of the new one with ad-
justments in the assignment of
space.
Congress has given Architect
David Lynn contract powers. and
the present inaction on the ap-
preparation need not Immediately
interfere with the study of bids,
it was said. The site itself has
cost 1888, 900, according to agree
ments made with all property
owners. This is $4,000 less than
the $1,O0s,000 appropriated for
