State Tax Rate Reduced
Watch Who Takes Credit
The Governor of Georgia has
reduced the state tax rate from
four to three mills, the second
reduction to take place during
the past four years.
Remember, that the Georgia
law makes it mandatory upon
the Governor to reduce the ad
valorem tax, when revenues from
other sources make it possible.
The increase in the amount col
lected in state income taxes, h>B
make this second reduction possi
ble, and if we remember cor
rectly, the law making it manda"
tory upon the Governor to reduce
the tax rate under these condi
tions, was passed while Richard
B. Russell, Jr., was Governor of
Georgia. —Bartow Herald.

Make Your Letter of Application
Tell and Sell
A WELL - KNOWN advertising
man once said, “Anything that
can be sold at all can be sold by the
written word.” Certainly it is true
that many men have been able to
take the first, all-important step in
^selling” themselves to an employer
by a well-written letter. e
The point is to make your letter
both tell and sell. Put yourself in
the employer’s place. “Who are
you? What have you done? What
can you do that leads you to believe
the man you are writing to could
use your services with profit to him
self?” These are the things that in
terest the employer and that you
must have clear in your own mind
before you write your letter.
Remember that you are asking
someone to buy your services. The
mere fact that you want n job
doesn’t interest him. You must con
vince him that the deal will be ad
vantageous from his point of view.
Be sure that your letter is neatly
written, for your own appearance
and other characteristics will be
judged by it just as they would be
by the manner in which you pre
sented yourself for a personal
interview.
An enclosed, stamped, self-ad
dressed envelope makes it easy for
your prospective employer to reply,
granting you an interview. Further,
it is evidence of your ability to put
yourself in the other fellow’s place,
and many great businesses have
been built on the ability of those
directing them to put themselves
in the place of the prospective pur
chasers and figure out what it is
they really need. <•
A $20,000,000,000
Congress
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairrr an
■ Sentinels of the. Republic
While America floundered In floods of
Convention oratory, the Seventy-fourth
Congress recently ended Its sessions.
Few citizens noted — and probably
fewer regretted—its passing. But they
should have noted it. For the Seventy
fourth Congress had done many things
which will have a profound and lasting
effect on the average American and his
pocketbook.
Here's part of the record:
It appropriated almost Twenty Bil
lion Dollars of the public’s money.
It boosted the Federal debt to Thirty
four Billion Dollars—according to stat
isticians, an all-time high.
It passed numerous acts which the
Supreme Court has decided violate the
Constitution.
It greatly increased the number of
appointed boards and bureaus and
committees which so frequently invade
the people’s rights.
It engaged in many other activities—
some commendable, some not.
But to the great majority of Ameri
can workers and earners, the new rec
ords reached in spending public funds
and in tinkering with our Constitu
tional rights represent the most sig
nificant of recent Congressional activ
ities.
Wiiy?
Because when Congress spends Fed
eral funds, it's actually spending our
money. We, the people, have to dig
it up.
When Congress boosts the Federal
debt, it’s actually boosting our debts.
We, the people, have to meet both prin
cipal and interest.
When Congress ignores the Federal
Constitution, it's actually ignoring our
Constitution. It’s the people’s Bill of
Rights.
Os their amazing record, members of
the Seventy-fourth Congress may or
may not be proud. In either event they
can Lave the credit, while we, the peo
ple, pay the bills- -whether in reduced
Incomes, in expanded public debt, or in
the loss of liberties guaranteed under
the Constitution.
A Twenty - Billion - Dollar Congress
can put on a spectacular show. But to
us, the people, it’s an expensive luxury.

TAKE advantage pf a cherished
secret ot Hawaiian cookery the
next time you want your green
vegetables to taste especially deli
cious. Instead of cooking in plain
water use one-third natural, un
sweetened Hawaiian pineapple juico
and two-thirds water. You'll be de
lighted with the added tenderness
and zest the vegetables acquire.

A discarded, but still firm-on-its
legs table can frequently be con
verted Into a serviceable piece of
furniture for the game room by
adding a new top of wood fibre in
sulation, or tempered pressed wood.
If the top is to be covered with
cloth, the wood fibre insulation
should be used and the cloth laid
over it without glue. It can then
be drawn tightly and fastened at
the sides with large brass-headed
upholstery nails. If the table is to
be used for beverage glasses, etc.,
the uncovered, tempered pressed
wood is suggested. c
Hints for Motorists

A SIMPLE, easily improvised de
vice is helpful in isolating
noises made by the various parts of
the automobile engine, and in spot
ting trouble due to worn bearings,
worn valve springs or loose timing
gears. A long screw driver and a
tin can with one open end are all
that are needed. Touch the screw
driver to the various parts of the
engine, holding the bottom of the
can against the handle of the screw
driver and listening at the open end
of the can. The device provides an
effective engine stethoscope.

The old grease in the steering
gear housing ought to be flushed out
periodically. If there is no drain
plug, a quart of hot cylinder oil
slowly pumped into the housing and
allowed to run out of the filler plug,
will cause most of the grease to dis
solve and flow out with the oil. g

Radio Death-Wave May Soon u
Aid War On Insect Hordes
J. F. Witkowski
Principal, School of Radio, International Correspondence Schools
Associate Member, Institute of Radio Engineers
T3OR centuries man has battled
JT against the insects for suprem
acy. To date the battle is still not
won. Man has called science to
his aid to develop methods which
enable him to slay his insect ene
mies by the millions, but other mil
lions are born to threaten his ex
istence by spreading disease or
destroying his food supply.
Radio’s short-waves, whose im
portance hr long-distance radio
transmission is familiar to all radio
enthusiasts, are the latest scientific
weapon which gives promise of
bringing nearer man’s victory, at
least on the food-supply front. As
experiments continue the possibil
ity increases that we may be able
to develop what would be in effect
a radio death-wave for marauding
insects, and one that would operate
on a wholesale scale.
At the present stage of develop
ment, an adjustable short-wave
transmitter is connected to two
condenser test plates. Plants bear
ing the insects which are to be
killed are placed between the two
plates. The radio waves Induce
currents in the insects’ bodies
which make them hot to the touch
and kill them within ten to thirty
seconds. Since the margin be
tween the frequencies which kill
insects and plants is wide, the
plants are not damaged by the cur
rent
So far the death-wave for insects
has been used only on a lal>oratory

Pupil of the Great Escoffier *
Suggests a Sweet Potato Dish
By Barbara B. Brooks
TIURAINE, one of the old prov
inces ot France and a cradle of
gastronomic, delight, produced the
greatest chef the world i „s ever
known —the famous Escoffier. Max
ine, a pupil of Escoffier and chief
chef of a fashionable American res
taurant. reveres the traditions of
the master but has found in Amer
ican foods the Inspiration for some
of his most successful dishes.
t Maxine tells of the occasion
when he was called from his kitch
en to receive the congratulations of
a . member ot a European royal
house who was visiting this coun
try. Only a Frenchman could
have conceived such a delicious
dish, he was told. He smiled as
he acknowledged the praise, for
the secret of the dish was the use
of corn flakes, than which there is
no more distinctly American food.
> Maxine has a penchant for cere
als as an aid in dressing up and
adding to the nutritive value of
various dishes, and below is a re
elpe he gives for Sweet Potato
Balls.
Sweet Potato Balls
* or S tweet pot*- 6 marshmallows
toe* (boiled 11 cap corn flakes
H cup crushed pine- (rolled flue)
apple (drained) 54 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
Boil, peel and mash sweet pota
toes and add pineapple which has
been well drained; butter and salt.
Form Into balls with a marshmal
low in the center of each ball. Roll
in corn flake crumbs; place in a
greased baking dish and bake in a
hot oven. Temperature 400 de
grees. Time 15 to 20 minutes.
You will like this so well that I
am sure you will want to try some
thing else in the cereal line; so I
am adding a recipe for Bran Date
Bars which you will find particu
larly delicious.

When framing valuable etchings,
water colors or prints which will
remain in their frames for some
time, it is suggested that they be
backed with a sheet of pressed wood
instead of the customary cardboard.
If they are then sealed with gummed
tape, changes in the humidity of the
room cannot reach the drawing and
they remain clean until taken out
of the frame. If accidental]}’ dropped,
the pressed wood keeps the frame
rigid In most cases and prevents
the glass from breaking. Many
costly works of art have been cut
or torn by broken glass when the
frame has been dropped on the
floor.

FOUND AT LAST!
The famous Q-623—quick relief for
Rheumatism, Neuritis, Sciatica, Lum
bago—is now available to all suffer
er from these tortures. Q-623 is a
prescription of a famous specialist
that has worked wonders for thous
ands of people when many other rem
edies have failed. We ask you to try
this famous prescription. A few
doses usually stops the pain, and
many people say “it is worth its
weight in gold.” Be sure you get an
8-ounce bottle; any other size, or any
other name, is counterfeit. And if you
are bothered with functional bladde,
and urinary irritations, or need, a
stimulant diuretic for the kidneys
try Q-Tabs—a highly effective pre
scription tablet. Q-623 and Q-Tabs are
products of the Associated Phar
macists of Baltimore, Inc. —For Sale
