DANCER IN SPECULATION
IS A SAFETY VALVE, SAID
WASHINGTON—The more dan-!

the les= reorle o”ght to eo in for it,
were President Roosevelt’s comments
when ask^d at a press conference if
hr planned to take steps tc make
speculation more hazardous.
Ho added there are two ways of
looking at the situation pointing out
that if playing the market is ex
remelv dangerous, it will frighten
more people away. If it is not dan
gerous. he pointed cut, everyone will
be tempted to indulge in speculation.
Asked if he considered the market
dangerous at present, he replied the
question did not make sense.
He minimized his coming meeting
with Mayor LaGuardia of New York
and when quizzed about the U. S. la
i bor situation, said he always had fa

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Before you sew on hooks and eyes,
boil them in a strong solution of soda
water and avoid them from becoming
rusty.
If your salt gets too moist during
damp weather, put in a little corn
starch or a few kernels of rice in the
shaker.
To prevent buttonholes fraying- on
a material which frays badly, trace,
the exact position of the buttonhole,
then run a machine-stitch •"•rcn.i
about one-eighth of an inch from the
line. The hole may then be cut and
buttonholed in the usual way.
If new clothes pegs are soaked in
water for a few hours before using
them, there is much less possibility
of their splitting the first time they
are used.
After cleaning brasses in damp
weather, wipe with a soft rag smear'
ed with vaseline.
A teaspoonful of ammonia added
to a bowl of warm water removes
fruit stains from the fingers.
When making starch for collars,
etc., add a little milk. It will be
found they will have a splendid gloss
on them when ironed, and also th*
iron will move much easier.
. Salt fish should always be soaked
in water before boiling.
Saddle soap rubbed' on wet shoes
will keep the leather pliable.
A large apron of white oil-cloth
worn on a washing day will keep the
washer’s dress dry.
Never use a sharp instrument for
scraping a washbowl, stove or other
porcelain or enamel-covered article.
Such an implement is apt to chip or
break off the covering.
A drop of salad oil added when
preparing mustard wilt improve the!
flavor. -
Operated by compressed air, an
implement that resembels a spray
gun has been invented for applying
solder melted by electricity.
A lump of sugar put in to boil with
green vegetables will preserve the
! color and wilt not take away any of
the nutritious qualities.
.
A small cabinet directly above
the sink or drainboard is convenient
! for holding brushes, scouring soaps
and other accessories used at the
sink.
