Babson Discusses
Unemployment Figures

Babson Park urge readers not
to take too seriously the Federal
Unemployment figures which are
released the second week of each
month Until they are issued on a
per-capita basis and properly adj
iusted l believe them to be I'M
reliable and mi5.eading
Figures Are Guessed
There are 63.9o0o00 employees
other than farmers in these
United States. CT these. only very
few are interviewed There are
oyer 45,000.000S families in the
United States, OF these. only 25,-
600 families are interviewed Thus.
it viii be seen t1hat to give out a
figure Of g 385e000" is really lu-
dicrous It surrey would be more
logical to say ; about 1900 00. "
and call it tough estimate.
The figures neyer show the real
situation. Wnen families are in

those who have been laid off. but
many who are i'll, or working at
home or perhaps too lazy to work,
Recently. to help the Republicans
get the farm cote. the coverage
has been increased from 1913 coun-
ties to $50 couhties This greatly
increases the percentage of farm
families included in the count.
I forecast SUCH figures will be
found very unl@liable as regards
the status Of those helpers who
live on the farea, whether or not
a salary is being paid them.

Why Grow Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

Lately I have had an unusual
number Of letters from those
pretty teen-agers who read my
column. The majority of their
letters ask questions about figure
and skin. OF course. blackheads
is one Of the main interests.
A letter before me asks. "What
causes blackheads? How can
one avoid them? Why do so
many girls my age have them?
! am Is years old"
Let's begin with the last ques-
tion. The reason so many teen
ayers have blackheads is because
at this age the oil glands in the
skin are extremely active, much
more so than at other ages.
Therefore, unless you take pre-
ventive measures, the oil and
dirt and dust are likely to clog
up the pores causing these ugly
skin hlemishes.
Honds OFF
Even II you do not have black
heads now you will be very smart
II you viii wash your face with
soap and water several times a
day: four times Is not too much
IL your skin Is at all oily
Another rule you should OBJ
serve Is to keep your hands of
Of your face. Much skin trouble
has been caused by picking at
the face. Once you have black
heads you should give your face
four good washings. using a
complexion brush. This win
help dislodge the blackheads.
To remove them do this: after
cleansing the face hold IL over q
bowl Of hot-water SO the steam
can help loosen the blackheads.
Then use one of the little black
head removers you buy at q
drugstore and gently but firmly

Two Temples" by Hattie
Bose Hall:
A Builder builded a temple,
He wrought 1t with grace and skill
Pillars and groins and arches
All fashioned to work his WILL
Men said, as they saw its beauty,
1t shall never know decay;
Great is thy skill. o Builder!
Thy fame shall endure for aye
A Teacher buiIded a temple
With loving and infinite care,
Planning each arch with patience,
Laying each stone with prayer.
Men praised her unceasing efforts;
None knew of her wondrous plan;
For the temple the teacher buiided
was unseen by the eyes of men.
Gone is the Builders temple.
Crumpied into the dust,
Low lies each stately pillar,
Food for consuming rust,
But the temple the teacher builded
win last while ages roll
For that beautiful unseen temple
was child's immortal soul.

I have used a hinged omelet

use it for a cheese omelet. I
simply beat Q eggs, add about
] tablespoon or 2 of milk or
water, salt and pepper, and
pour half into each side of
the buttered heated pan.
When the eggs are slightly
set, I add thin slices Of Amer

cheese onto one side. I quickly
close the pan and cook on
slow heat. The eggs, will puff
up beautifully but the omelet
does not fall when removed
from the pan. The cheese is
melted and delicious inside
and the omelet is the shape
Of half the pan.

Atkeson, Janowicz
Both Out for Season

The loss OF, Fullback Dale At
keson and Halfback Vic Janowlcz
for the rest of the season was
confirmed by the Redskins today
as they started pointing for Sum
days tussle with the Cleveland
Browns at Griffith Stadium.
Coach Joe Kuharich also
learned that End Walt Yowarsky
had a little water on the knee, and
that Guard Marvin Berschet's
nose was broken in last Sundays
game with the Philadelphia
Eagles. Both should be able to
play against the Browns, however.
The loss of Atkeson, a green
but powerful runner, and Jano-,
wicz, who kicked off and was
beginning to move on offense,
reduces the Redskins squad to 81
for the season. With only two
games remaining, no effort will
be made to replace them.
