dream, stick with it, says Mrs.
Stapleton. There are no castles,

money Is spent). But should you
own one or want one-write 1t in"
she declares.
Money is not stretchable,
though. If you spend it on that
dream, reminds the expert. you
must be willing to economic,
sometimes closely. on other things.
Mrs. Stapleton's plan is simply
this. Under the headings. "Shel-
ter. House Operation. Food,
Clothing. Savings. and advance
ment," list your expenses for the
past year. Advancement" In
cludes all the extras, such as
health and medical costs, gifts
to church. charity and friends,
school tuitions, fun money, per-
sonal allowances, care of a pet,
an automobile and 50 forth. Its
work, Of course, but Mrs. Staple
ton declares it will pay off. Then
compare your spending with what
have been found to be satisfac-
tory averages. For example, 10
Iper cent of ones income for rent,
about IA per cent for house oper-
ations are considered good aver
ages. Eleven per cent Of the
family income for clothing is con-
sidered a fair figure for most
families. and 7 per cent in saw
ings dncluding insurance. is the
thing most families manage to
accomplish.

Mrs. Stapleton declares. You
can't buy it in a store, she points
out, and to make space for it in
your budget is simply an excel

your income.
The author also makes the OBJ
vious point. sometimes overlooked,
she declares. that your net in
come Is the thing to be reckoned
with. Deduct your income tax
and any money you may send
to dependents outside your home.
Then regard the amount of money
you actually have to spend. and
evolve your spending plan ac-
cordingly.
Another thing-when you buy
that home in the country, in
clude committing costs as part of
your shelter expenditure. And
don't forget to include money for
dry cleaning and shoe bills as
part of your budget for clothes.

Good Jobs for Good Girls, by
Hartford Powell (The Vanguard
Press; $2.50).
Mr.. Powell, on the assumption
that q word to the wise woman is
suficient, has compiled a handy
handbook for the working girl who
wishes she didn't. John Groth has
aided and abetted the author in
this with amusing illustrations.
Work, declares the author. is
debasing, bad for woman's
figure, ruinous to her digestion and
plays havoc with her naturally
sweet disposition. The smart girl
will choose a wealthy. sober and
generous bachelor for her boss and
lead him gently to the alter. She
will renounce wage slavery and
make a good man work for her.
Fact and fiction are blended in
this study of the modern woman's
hearts desire, her efforts to attain

the pot without disturbing the
soil and placed in the new bed
Under favorable conditions it will
make very rapid growth, even
developing runners of its own. Pots
are preferable to tin cans partly
because of their porous nature
and partly because of the ease in
removing the rooted plants. Pots
are procurable at very reasonable
prices in our local seed stores and
hardware stores and with rea-
sonable care are practically ever
lasting.
For the home gardener with
no old strawberry bed available
potted plants are offered by prac-
tically all large seed firms
throughout the country and by
many of the plant nurserymen.
Such plants are usually rather
expensive. but a comparatively
small number will furnish consid-
cradle fruit next spring and at
the same time serve as a nucleus
for larger future paintings. In
purchasing plants one should
select varieties with perfect bios
soms-that is. those capable of
self -pollination-or else a COM
bination Of perfect and imperfect
flowered kinds.
Here are a few suggestions for
removing stains:

Opportunity is still open for

another were unable to start a

An old worn-out bed is an ex-
cellent source of new material
provided it is still able to pro-
duce young runner plants. To
secure strong plants, small flower
pots. or even old tin cans with
holes punched in the bottom, are
filled with fertile soil enriched
with leaf mold or old rotted ma
nure. These are buried to their
rim near the old mother plant.
The young runner plant. with

and held fast with handful OF
earth or small stone. If possible
select runner plants with develop
ing roots. If very dry, roofing
will be hastened by frequent
watering. Stimulated by the fer
tile soil in the pot. the runner
plant will grow very rapidly.
When examination shows that the
roots have reached the sides and

plants may be cut away from

Psyehiatrists Told
New Mental Cures
Stress Use Of Drugs
BY Howord w. BlokesIee
A..oeis,.d prss, Science tdl,os

MONTREAL. May 2S-A new
era for mental illness. relying
more on drugs than on talk for
cures. was forecast 10 the Amer
lean Psychiatric Association YES
terday.
This report was made by DR..
William B. Terhune. New Canaan,
Conn. at q luncheon given by the
Devereux Schools of Devon, Pa.
He said Freud's concepts
founded modern psychiatry. Freud
traced mental illness to mental
conflicts. Talk-especially by the
sick person-did miracles in cures.
But now. said DR.. Terhune. we
must link mental illness with bod
lily illness. Three-fifths of mental
disorders. he declared, now are
accepted as basically organic That
is, physical upsets in the body
either cause or accompany the
mental troubles.
Bodily Causes Listed.
Bodily causes of psychiatric dis
orders now accepted. he said. are
infections. intoxication, injuries.
blood circulation disturbances.
convulsive troubles. growth, nu-
triton and hormones.
Bodily changes are caused, he
added. by fear. pain. hunger and
rage. Parts of the brain get out
of order, and the parts and what
is wrong with them are known
to quite an extent.
In some mental troubles blood
thickens. or sludges. and shows
other changes.
DR.. Terhune said it now is rec
ognized that childhood mental
disorders are fundamentally due
to physical causes mixed with
emotional disturbances.
Some Drugs Disputed.

Queries Answered
By On Expert
By Roger c. Whitmon

Question: Our new apartments
have steel tile shower walls. These
are becoming stained from the
water, light brown color. How
would you suggest cleaning them
And what do you recommend for
cleaning ceramic tile shower
floors? Can one use a bleach?
We wash the walls and floor with
soap and water but that doesn't
solve the problem.
Answer: Household ammonia in
the cleaning water will remove
much of the stain made by the
hard water. Use the ammonia
fairly strong. but not enough to
get into your eyes,"
A scratches securing powder
will also help. This combination
should serve for both types of
shower stall. I suggest that you
plan to install a water softening
unit. This would be the real
solution to your problem.
You would not be so much both
cred with hard water scale, and
furthermore your piping would not
become clogged with the scale.

shower is used, it would help to

Preparing to Lay Asphalt Tiles.
Question:: Does a basement
cement floor need any special
treatment before laying asphalt
tile?
Answer: The concrete floor
must be dry, clean and free of
paint or other finish. Spread
special mastic cement over the
concrete with a paste spreader and
then press the tile down into place.
You will need a linoleum knife
and a blowtorch to soften tile
for cutting and trimming. Be
careful not to put down too much
cement. for it will ooze up between
the tiles. Such work is usually
done by a floor contractor.
Mixing Coloring With Plaster.
Question: We are going to have
our new home plastered, and I
would like to know if this integral
coloring mixed in with the plaster
is a good thing to have done.
Answer: Yes, I consider it
very good way to get color on your
walls without having to do sep,
arate painting job afterward. To
be sure of a uniform color use
only the factory-mixed material.
Color mixing of plaster ION the
job" is not always satisfactory.

All housewives are familiar with
the necessity of covering counter
tops, drain boards and kitchen
tables at frequent intervals if they
want the kitchen to look neat and
Well-kept. They also know that
the oil-cloth sometimes used for
this covering not only wears out
rapidly but it is easy to cut or
rip.

the owner wishes he can have the
strip cut to measurement.
We do not recommend cement
ing down the counter-top cover
ing, as very often it is desirable
to lift it up to clean beneath,
which is impossible if it has been
cemented. For a particularly fine
job of workmanship, a quarter
round molding may be run all
around the back and ends.
