Top 1853 as
Auctions End
36 Million Pounds
Of Type q leof
Sold in Season.
By ]. |. Michel

Maryland tobacco warehouse
men cleared auction floors today.
after selling SO million pounds
Of Type 80 leaf at an average Of
about So cents in an unusual
season. which began May 1.
Exact figures for the season,
ended yesterday. were unavail-
able Immediately because Of late
sales caused by heavy shipments
from farmers hurrying to beat
the deadline.
About 81 million pounds Of
the, 1853 crop have been sent to
the Baltimore Hogshead Market.
where sales will continue indefi-
nitely. Another estimated LIS
million pounds yemain in barns
of growers who have been unable
to prepare it for market because
Of prolonged dry weather.
Last years total production of
some IL million pounds that
changed hands this season ex-
ceeds ofhcial estimates by about
4 million pounds.
One Of Best Crops.
The 1853 crop, one of the best
in recent years and sold with
Government support, brought
an average about 3l2 cents a
pound higher than the 1852 yield
marketed last year without price
floors.
Around Is per cent of the
leaf sold this year went to the
Government financed co-opera-
tive which takes over tobacco on
which bids do not exceed Fed
eral minimumS.

contrasted sharply with practice
prevailing since loose-leaf auc-

land in the mid-1930s.
Lower Average Thursday.
Until this year, a week or 10
days of buyer-farmer jockyeing
ensued when the market opened,
and after that prices advanced
to a late June or early July
peak.
This year. auctions began
with an opening average of
57.3 cents, reached season
high Of So cents on May IL, and
since that date have steadily
declined.
Thursdays sale averaged only
45.5 cents for 100000 pounds
of the 81 grades of which 341a
per cent went to the co-opera-
tive. Price drops are customary
in the last sales week, but the
percentage taken by the Govern
ment was unusually high for
that period as well as for the
season.

Keep the Home Fires burning
In this, our homeland we act
on the premise that wa are all
free and equal, free to make our
own lives and equal under the
law: therefore, it is the right
of each to express his opinion
touching matters that effect us
all. To my mind it is our first
duty to preserve an unders-
landing, a loyalty, a line of con-
duct that is seemly and con-
siderat of others, those in high
places as well as those who
cannot strike back. When one
reads daily of pickering, Will
flying and worse, one is amazed,
astonished and almost dis
couraged. AS parents are sup
posed to set examples, to act
circumspectly and without
gile for their children'S sake,
even SO those in high places
should in like manner conduct
themselves. This has not been
our record for sometime. Should
we not therefore, search our
own hearts, repent of our Short
comings and mount again to
the pinnacle of our better selves
that we may amid the confu-
sion and gloom Of the present
world holocast keep the home

BEAUTY HINTS
By NINA TEMPLE
Oily Compilations

Few blemishes are so annoy
ing to the young, would-be-
beauty as an oily skin. No one
can look her best when the face
shines, glistens in the sunlight
and indicates lack of care.
Blackheads thrive in such skin
as dust and dirt are easily
caught and held within. Cures
should be sought at once, such
as: elimination of greasy foods
and sweets, replaced by green
vegetables. A good aid is to
cover the face with a cloth Satu-
rated in hot witch hazel. Leave
on till cold and then, follow
with a good astrigent lotion.

A smooth, welI-havored cream

make the vegetable dishes you
serve your family a variety of de-
lectsble combinations.
Plain buttered vegetables. wheth-

mushrooms, cheese, lemon, pimento
or chopped chives give the interest.
ing flavor change which makes for
snappy appetites.
A carefully prepared cream sauce
is the ideal sauce for introducing
those varied favors. In making a
cream sauce be sure the butter and
-four are well-blended before adding
the milk. Constant stirring will
prevent Jumping and will insure a
smooth well-blended sauce. AL.
ways use low, steady heat. Begin
ners will find cooking sauce over
water in a double boiler keeps the
heat down.
Think of cream sauce as a magic
trick for adding color and taste
to your vegetables. For example
