APPEAR ON BEER CANS

printed on the lid or the top of the can.

RED AIMS—
Moscow has maintained in this
country a vast propaganda machine,
not to make us friendly to Russia,
but to control and dominate the po
litical and economic life of America.
It seeks to foment race hatred among
those of our own citizens whom they
call the minorities—that is, the ne
groes and the foreign-born. It seeks
to stir up class hatred among the
American people.—Herbert Hoover.

The Tele-Trol is a newly developed
device which guards against overtime
on long-distance phone calls. At the
touch of a lever the indicator moves
counter-clockwise, a warning bell
ringing 15 seconds before the end of
the three minutes.

Rembrandt ruffs are the latest fem

spired by a Rembrandt gallery and
lightened by a French modiste, the

When Lilly Dache went to Florida
this winter she was inspired to de
sign a new hat fabric she calls "Plai
santa Palm" made from the fiber of
the cocoanut shell. This very mod
ern fabric was used in the design of
hats that brought to life again the
swooping picture hats of Lillian Rus
sell's day and the enchanting little
"capot" that was the pet of Sarah
Bernhardt. You'll recognize it as the
modern version of the little bonnet
your grandma used to tie under her
chin.
Other designers are using the bur
lap-like fiber of the palm tree to
fashion bags and shoes and belts. In
its natural shade of rich tobacco brown
it makes beautiful accessories.
THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS
FOR
One of the big shoe and hosiery
concerns announces it has gone "com
pletely lyrical" in its names for the
stockings of spring.
Here are the names of some of the
new shades: Rondo, Minuet, Mazurka,
Rhapsody, Caprice and Allegro.
WOMEN
By Mary Moore
DO YOU KNOW? ....
That real estate operators have
found that fully 85 per cent of home
buying is controlled by women.
That a new book "Look at the Law"
—a book explaining law to the lay
man—written by Percival Jackson, a
hai'd-headed, successful, New York
lawyer, emphasizes the fact that its
up to the women to save this country.
It won't be the men to take hold and
pull it out of the mess it's in." Mr.
Jackson says, "To begin with, women
today have more time than men. Earn
ing a living keeps men's noses so
close to the grindstone they become
astigmatic. But women have more
time to think. The average woman
today is far superior to the average
man. She is more intelligent, has
a more cultural background, reads
more and is more subtle. But, she
must put this advantage to some
practical use, such as broadening their
concept of home-making, instead of
confining it to making a decent home
for one family—they must take it on
their shoulders to see that everyone
has a decent home. The whole hous
ing problem is logically woman's
problem. They should pitch in and
fight for the good of everybody. Then,
when they have proved that they can
'take over' and have demonstrated
their superiority, they can write their
own ticket."
For Better Homemaking
Now that spring is really here and
our attentions are drawn to our gar
dens perhaps it would be good to read
up on some of the new garden books
to be found in the libraries. Here
are some delightful ones you might
call for: "America's Garden Book," by
Louis Bush-Brown "1001 Garden
Questions Answered," by A. C. Hot
tes "Handbook of Nature Study," by
A. B. Comstock "Fun With Flow
ers," by Donit-Ferguson "Insect A1
lies," by Elenor King "Gardner's
Day Book," by Richardson Wright
"Bulbs for Your Garden," by Allen H.
Wood, Jr. "Carolina Gardens," by T.
T. H. Shaffer "The Garden in Color,"
by L. B. Wilder, and there are scores
of other interesting volumes.
If you have trouble keeping flower
holders in place in bowls, stick them
down by first dipping the holders in
hot melted paraffin. This works splen
didly and the water in the bowl will
not harm the paraffin.
Women in Industry
The states of Maine, South Caro
lina, Texas, Utah, and Virginia have
recently made studies of industrial
hygiene by their health departments
with the co-operation of the U. S
Public Health Service. Their findings
emphasize the fact that organic dusts
constitute a serious health hazard to
which women-are likely to be exposed
in clothing and textile factories and
to a lesser extent in certain other
lines of manufacture and in laundries
Studies such as these are the first
step toward pointing out methods of
Keeping
Ahead of
the Times
prevention. The constant breathing
of dust-laden air gives rise to respira
tory diseases. Practically two-thirds
or more of the workers in cigar and
tobacco factories in Virginia, in wood
turning plants in Maine, and in laun
dries in Texas were exposed to or
ganic dusts.
Methods of control of dust include
ventilation of various types, use of
water or other liquid to lay the dust,
and respirators.
The most common type of occupa
tional disease reported as affecting
women workers is dermatitis (inflam
mation of the skin), which is known
to follow contact with dyes, oils, fats
and waxes. Exposure to dyes is
common in textile factories.
Another hazard to be controlled by
ventilation is exposure- to extreme
heat and humidity, often found in
textile mills and laundries.
Baby Talk
Attractive playhouses that add to
the appearance of one's yard can be
quickly and inexpensively built of
structural insulating board. They
please the children immensely, at the
same time keeping them at home.
One of our most noted beauticians
has just opened a new salon in New
York. Youngsters are well separated
from their elders, which is a pretty
good notion.
A very simple make-up is advocated
for the kids—nothing on the eyes, and
a dash of good face powder. It is well
to teach them good grooming early.
After the baby's sweaters have
been laundered and dried, fluff them
up lightly with a soft brush to re
store their softness.
Pantry Palaver
If you lack storage space for
kitchen equipment, you can buy shal
low steel closets which may be at
tached to the back of any standard
size door. The closet designed to add
extra shelf space contains eight
shelves the closet for mops and
brooms is fitted with special clips and
hooks for long and short handled
brushes, and has one shelf for clean
ing and polishing articles. Finished
in ivory enamel, these closets occupy
a minimum of space and go a long
way towards keeping the kitchen tidy
and ship-shape.
Chef's Hints: When you're separat
ing an egg, if yolks gets into the
white take a piece of shell and lightly
touch the yolk with it. The yolk will
adhere and can be easily removed.
Dried beef keeps best when stored
in a covered glass jar in the refrig
erator.
Try adding a few drops of lemon
juice to rice next time you cook it. It
makes it beautifully white and keeps
the grains whole.
When brown sugar becomes lumpy
or hard, give it a rolling pin treat
ment. Or if you store it in a covered
fruit jar it will soften in most cases.
Dampness causes the hardness, so
keep your sugar away from cooking
steam.
Keep the children out of mischief
by letting them make pecan bars oc
casionally. Here is a simple inex
pensive recipe they will love.
Add cup brown sugar to 2 eggs
which have been beaten slightly. Fold
in Vz cup of flour to which has been
added tsp. of baking powder and
tsp. each of cloves, alspice, salt
and cinnamon. Add 1 cup of pecans
and spread in layers inch thick.
Bake in shallow pans for 25 minutes
at 350 degrees. Remove and dust
with confectioners sugar.
Now that fresh asparagus is get
ting plentiful in market try it some
time with chopped olives and hard
cooked egg sauce. Cut in inch pieces
in buttered casserole, sprinkle with
cup of chopped olives and 1 hard
cooked egg. Cover with white sauce
topping with buttered crumbs. Bake
in moderate oven for about half an
hour.

CITY LEVY FOR
RELIEF PURPOSES
The city of Hamilton will submit to
the voters of Hamilton at the coming
election a three-quarter mill levy for
relief purposes.
While the present relief cases have
been reviewed and tested and many
reduced, applications are received
from many persons entitled to be
added to the rolls. Thorough investi
gation reveals that more than 2,500
people are, beyond every possible
doubt, relief cases whose needs are
vital and urgent.

A vote for this levy means that for
every dollar received from the tax
payers, the state of Ohio will match
dollar for dollar. In other words, if
the city of Hamilton wishes to take
advantage of the state's offer for re
lief purposes, the city must raise its
share, and it will take a 55 per cent
vote of the people to carry the levy.
