A year ago this past sum-
mer, a friend bought me a
present from Mexico, but in
all this time I haven't been
able to find out how to make
the gift useful. The gift is a
concentrate of perfume,
highly fragrant, oily and al
most irritating to the skin.
What should I put in the
solution to make it usable. 1t
arrived in an ounce-sized
bottle Of dark brown glass.
We have asked both drug
gists and beauticianS, and no
one can tell us anything
more than a vague answer
about a certain kind of al
cohol." What kind of alcohol
should be used? Where can
it be bought? In what pro-
portion should it be mixed
with the concentrate? Thank
you so much for any help.

Mr.. Obey also had praise
for the hospital staff and
employees, for the contractors,
the American Construction
Co., which did the new wing
and central portion, except
for the lobby, and the
Corning Construction Corp,
which did the west wing and
the lobby, and for the archi-
tects, Irwin s. Porter & Sons,
whose design work covered
all the project except the
lobby.
Not the least factor in the
smoothness of the transition
period, Mr.. Obey said, was
the loyalty of physicians and
patients who continued to
use the hospital in spite of
the construction work in
progress.
The last part of the project
to be completed was the new
lobby, which was designed by
Mr.. Keyes. Expectant fathers
who wait there for news

Of Moran, Proctor, Mueser &

The tower was designed to
withstand winds of 125 miles
an hour, 35-foot waves, or sim
liar combinations.
Senator Stennis said these
criteria were too low. He cited
a letter from two Texas A. & M
professors pointing this out to
the design engineers.
The letter. by Charles L.
BretSchneieder and r. o. Reid,
was written in 1855. about two
years before the tower was
built. 1t went to Philip c,
Rutledge of the designing firm
This lack of sufficient
strength is basically the crux

Stennis said.
