VKIULY, MAW FOOIiS IIKUSELF (Chan County Leader) "M other, the preacher's coming!" exclaimed tho son of one of the prominent fam ilies In the county, ' running Into the house one day last week. The mother grabbed a rag and duHted the Bible, picked up . a .stray jack of spades and covered the con fesslon magaslne with the Christian Herald. Then wreathing her face with a pious smile, she answered the door and there stood the county agent. No calathumplan from Califor nia has showed up In army trous ers thus far, and suffering from the hallucination she Is chlo, though hefty. It Is not believed any of the home girls getting 40 miles down the road, would do the same trick. ,.

One munt be properly Intro duced, and after 6 p. m. one must be dressed. (Hoclal Item) A time ly curb on rawness. A gal confessed yesterday to a pain In the hoof, due to the large ness of her foot, and not the small ness tif the shoe. iMfHe Carlton's brother, Newk, created quite a furore In the Kant by openly stating that success Is due to luck, Instead of work. Newk declared there "aro a dosen men In irjy office who could do us good a job as 1 do, but they will never get a chance to show what they can do." The head of the Western IfnUin holds that on energetic toller who tolls till he collapses from exhaustion, should conserve his strength. It has long been fashionable, to tell a boy that he must work until he drops, If he will ever amount to anything. It Is hoped Kdd heeds this advice, and quits plowing by moonlight. The Minneapolis Journal praises Newk for his fearless debunking of ancient hooey, ile also took the erase for efficiency by the tall and beat Its brains out against the side of the packinghouse. Ha Id ne; mitciency is a una ining when there Is nothing to do of any Importance. 1 have never come In 1930 TO BE HOME WITH the felford building permits for May promising to exceed the permits for the same month a year ago, it is interesting to note in the current lteview of Heviews that, in the opinion of outstanding industrial leaders, and economists, the present year will see a difnand for home building throughout the United States, which will play a leading part in bringing the nation back to a high and stable level of prosperity. One manufacturer, Clarence M. Woolley, president of the American Radiator and Standard Sanitary Corporation, esti mates that there will be a demand for 707,000 new homes during the year. Nicholas Koberts, president, of S. V. Straus & Co., investment bankers, predicts that "including all types of build ing and construction fe would not be surprised if 191)0 ends up ahead of in total building values." Hanking conditions favor the builder, both the individual who pinna a home and the professional builder, at this time as they have never done before of recent years, Merrylc S. Kukeycr, the economics writer, points out in the article presenting the business opinions. . THE tremendous flow of money into stock market speculation during 1928 and 1!)2!) was a serious deterrent to building since it both raised interest rates to abnormally high levels and engaged much money that otherwise would have gone into build ing, he shows. The subsequent easing of interest rates which has followed the market depression has removed perhaps the most formidable barrier to building activities. . On the Pacific coast, George I. Cochran president of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, says: "I think there is a reasonable basis for an increase in the building industry dur ing the year. It ought to reach normal." ' -.,. Victor A. Lersner, president of the Bowery Savings Bank, New York, one of the heaviest lenders of funds for home build ing, believes: "It would appear that building will have some advance within the reasonably near future, due to the belief that in most sections of the metropolitan area demand and sup ply have very closely crossed each other." Mr. Roberts, head of a company whose mortgage activities arc nation wide, contributes this analysis to the Review of Re Views symposium i "We feel there is n sound economic basis for a revival in construction this year. Chief among the reasons for this is the fact that building operations have been on the decline since the peak of 1925, and surpluses which had been created for certain types of structures in certain localities are steadily being ab sorbed. With the added stimulus of cheap money which should enable at least the major part of the public works and public utility program reported to President Hoover to be carried through, and with underlying conditions in business remaining fundamentally healthy, we believe the outlook is favorable. We would not be surprised if !!)!)() ends up ahead of 1929." MILADY'S BEAUTY BILL UNLIKE the legendary Helen's, the modern American worn hii'h fncp mnv never ljiminli- n tlinnuniwl cliinu l,tif vnn could put a noble fleet on the seas for what she spends for facial beauty each "year. '"' ' ' '" ' ""' ' , ,' Tho annual bill for creams, rouge and powders in tho United States is approximately $09,000,000, according to figures from the National Association of Cosmeticians published in the eur ren Aromatics magazine, the perfume trade journal. And the average woman spends $"() yeaTly for these and other aids to beauty. By weight, the country's feminine population consumes 134, 750 tons of cosmetic annually. Cleansing creams coma first on the list, amounting to 52,000 tons. .Of powder, 4,000 tons are usod; skin lotiou, 2(i,000 tons; complexion soap, 19,000 tons; nourishing creams, 17,000 tons; foundation creams, 8,750 tons; bath powder, 6,000 tons; rougo, 2,000 tons. The $09,000,000 bill when divided shows that women pny ii:t0,000,000 for ereams, $11,000,000, for ruxwv, $20,000,000 for face powder, and $8,000,000 for alcutn.

SMILE, YOU I Federal Incomo tax reports mudt be fllA with tax collector! on orj before March 15. March 19 wo wpre Informed that Income tax re ceipt In Los Angeles were $5,000 000 greater than for the previous year. n . Commenting on the cheerful bus! iiosh situation In dicated by the California figures a publicist de votes nine line to' an old story, and, I imagine. collects around $9 for it, which 1 hope he Included In his report as earned income, though I can't for the life of me see how but let us tell the publicist's story and earn our HO cents: . j Once a man was fastened In I a chair, his feet put in warm ( water, and, as a practical Juke, he was shown a razor of ! which the blunt end was drawn across the soles of his bare feet. He was told, 'You will ' bleed to death painlessly In : this warm water." He didn't lose a drop of blood, but he died. .And served him right, the ; Idiot. There may be some slight foun dation for the psychological Infer ence that people are what they ! think, but are people going to think they are proHperous when business Is dull and many custom ers are out of work back home, while $5,000,000 In taxes formerly paid elsewhere is now paid out! yonder? I A very suggestible or gulllblo chap, already practically dead on his feet, might be caused to faint by the experiment described. Aside from that. It is just another of those funny old sailor's yarns. It reminds me of the now hap pily extinct urge to smile, smile, smile, in any and all circumstances. This naturally appoated to persons of moronic intelligence, for one of the easiest things a lackwit can do Is smile, tou can pick the umbbells out of a crowd by the vacuous smile they habitually wear. Somo one with a 13-year I. Q. glib ly estimated that It takes steenteen muscles to produce a frown and only one or two to produce a smile. In truth it does require more brain and nerve coordination to frown or scfiwl than It does to smile. Try it for yourself and see; you can keep on smiling eve'Vi when your mind Is as nearly a blank as it can bo without complete loss of consciousness; but your frown fudes just as soon as you take your- mind from It, or off from the thought that brought the frown; Ho, for goodness sake, don't bo Idiotic. There in nothing sillier than counterfeit cheerfulness unless it be a fake smile. The unaffected frown of thoughtfulness becomes most countenances. Then a smile, like a real friend, is fruo to comu unbidden, the more welcome when It comes, and It goes before every body become bored by It. QrKOTIOXH AXI ANSWERS Mountain Out of Molehill. Druggist writes: Ho it acid, al cohol or phenol, tho time honored rnimo Carbolic will always identify tho substance C61I&OH. Hut why not extend your logic to cover Ca tarrh as well?

IU V., Vh. G. Answer. Conductor agrees as to carbolic, but bets Himalaya odds tho majority of victims of so-called "catarrh" have no trouble In tho sinuses. I reneged on carbolic be cause common sono and public welfare forced me to do so. Not so with "catarrh. Your own con ception Is one of many odd notions About "catarrh," and public wel fare demands that we reject the Idea of "catarrh" as misleading and meaningless. You may find the adjective "catarrhal" still used in medical literature, but only by slipshod tiuthors; never, I think, by an author worth while. Wet Pleurisy.

Is there any danger of brood poisoning setting in? (2) "Would a week be sufficient time for It to heal? (3) What is the approximate cost and can you rec ommend a doctor? "R. K. Answer. I cannot give the name or address of a correspondent In any case. (1) The operation is safe and there Is no danger of blood poison, In the hands of a competent surgeon.

"Yon won't be quite so surprised when you Hee the sort of a house in which he lives," tho Little lllack Clock answered. So the wintry looking gentle man, whose name w as Snow y lllasts. and the Little lllack Clock and John and I'eggy went 1 n the direction from which the Cold Wave had called out to them. Ills house was quite the queerest thing the children had ever peon. It had no roof to It and it had no walls. It had no doors and it huu no windows. In fact, it wasn't what anyone else would call a house at all. It was merely a patch of snowy land over which the wind was blowing wildly. Cold Wave looked cold and every time he spoke he seemed to grow colder. "They were all expecting me to continue with my travels and reach your part of the country," Cold Wave said, "lint 1 just decided to change my mind and play a trick on them. So I came off here to my home. I simply disappeared as far as they were concerned, and now they'll all have to say that the Cold Wave was expected but turned aside before reaching them." The Cold Wave seemed to think It wns an excellent Joke. "Do -your friends want any re freshments?" he asked the Little lllack Clock. "They might like some icicle soup or some snow pudding?" "I'm afraid wo can't stop for re freshments as we must be going bark soon," the Little Black flock answered. "Hut 1 did want the ill PUZZLE 4. Unrefined metal 5. ItenoTAtef 6. Most excel km 7.
