WEBSTER says, and this time I agree, that xerosis (pronounced zerosis) Is abnormal dryness, as of the skin or eyes. Xeroderma (pronounced zeroderma) is a disease of the skin characterized by dryness and roughness and a fine scaly desquamation. Xerosis or xeroderma refers to no specific skin disease, but to a common state of the skin associated with various specific diseases and a still more frequent complaint of Individuals who have no definite disease, just some slight nutritional deficiency or departure from optimal health. Thus xerosis is the salient feature of ichthyosis (fish skin disease, alligator hide) and of psoriasis. It occurs in most cases of chronic eczema.

It Is a normal evolutionary change In the skin of the aged. A young skin is soft, warm, moist or slightly greasy, smooth, clear; an old skin is harsh, cold, dry, perhaps inclined to crack or scale, rough, dull, sallow or gray. A bit of skin oil or precaution to prevent excessive dryness of the skin makes a lot of difference. Diagnosis and treatment of various skin diseases is best left to the patient's own physician. Not that a physician has a specific remedy or treatment for each skin disease, but just that failure to apply rational treatment or ill-advised application of the wrong remedy may greatly aggravate or prolong the trouble.

Recipes or formulas here suggested are useful for the purpose of alleviating xerosis or xeroderma and may be indiscriminately employed for this purpose. They are not adequate treatment or remedies for skin diseases, however. A popular skin oil throughout the world Is cold cream, officially called unguentum Aquae Rosat (ointment of rose water) or in France Cerat cosfetique or Creme froide. This is most satisfactory when freshly made up in reasonable quantity by the pharmacist after the standard formula in the Pharmacopoeia (U. S.

or British). Here is approximately the Pharmacopoeia recipe for those who wish to prepare their own cold cream: Pare into fine shavings one ounce of spermaceti and one ounce of white wax (beeswax bleached white) and melt thwn together with moderate heat. Then add 5 ounces of expressed oil of almond. Now dissolve 20 grains of sodium borate (borax) in iy2 ounces of stronger rose, water and add this to the other mixture. Then stir rapidly and continuously, or beat with egg beater or with heavy spoon until the mixture becomes uniformly soft and creamy.

Cold cream thus freshly made, not when long stored or made of petroleum products, serves every purpose a cream, cerate or oil can serve in the cleansing, protection or beautifying of the skin. It relieves chapping, irritation, itching, sunburn. It helps to keep the skin young. ne age or is montns uiympe maae ler theatrical debut by wandering ut on the stage.

HELEN WORTH. 8-Hour Day for Housewives Dear Helen Worth If the factory worker, office worker, sales help, can have an eight or nine-hour day or work from 9 a.m.

to 5 p.m. with an hour for lunch and Sunday oft. why should the women who re compelled to make their living in the field of household employment be not equally considered'' the mistress of the house finds it distasteful to serve dinner to her husband and family, why, she can employ an extra person, perhaps a student or the like to help during the dinner hour and for dishwashing. Give her room and board in exchanee for sen-ices with perhaps some Sunday salary, enough for carefare and incidentals. In this way the houseworkers would shar? the same hours as their co-workers in other fields; man school girls would have better opportunities to continue with their studies; the employer could pick intelligent people and naturally get better results.

And the stigma of housework would be forever eliminated. A. E. G. Dear A.

E. I think your plan looks line on paper, but I am afraid it is not practical enough to work out satisfactorily. If a woman is to serve her own dinner and wash the dishes, her best solution is a part-time worker who comes in to do the cleaning and prepare the dinner. With modern equipment, a whole apartment can be cleaned in a few hours, the dessert can be made, the vegetables cooked and the roast started and the finishing touches left to the mistress of the house. You have entirely left out of consideration the vast army of business women who are much too tired at the end of the day to serve and clear away dinner.

Most of them would not have the additional money that it would require to pay and feed an extra worker In many small apartments there is no maid's room, so there could be no payment for services made in this manner. While their hours are longer, I think that In general, the houseworker is much better off than the factory or office worker. She gets her meals and in many cases room and laundry work. Her salary is is-, ally free and clear and while it is somewhat lower, it goes much further. Mother's Task Never Done Think of the many professions that require long hours.

No doctor can say that he will not visit a patient after a certain hour. Nurses have, I believe, a 12-hour dav and frequently do 24-hour duty. Certainly no housewife or mother can insist on an eight -hour day. She must keep at her tasks until they are finished. I think we all hope that the time will come when a six-hour day for all kinds of workers will be possible.

But that day has not dawned. So that those who 'mploy houseworkers must insist on a certain sched-jle, but I think only the most miserly of mistresses objects to a daily rest period, one day off a week and Sunday hours for church-going. Thank you for your plan, I am sure that It is to provide food for thought. I will be glad to I r.c the opinions of our readers on this subject. HELEN WORTH.

Besides playing football and singing with the glee club as extra-curricular activities, Frank cleaned up a familiar college song and. much to his surprise, it cleaned up for him.

His version of "The Gay Caballero" was put on records and more than 2.000.000 of them were sold. His three versions of "Abdul the Bulbul Ameer." a saga originally composed about 1870, are still going strong. He also wrote the "Buckeye Battle Cry" of Ohio State. At the age of 19 Frank began his professional career as an entertainer, singing in a moving picture house in Cincinnati. He was completely frightened about the whole business.

His fears were soon overcome, however, and from his modest beginning he graduated to vaudeville, playing various circuits for eight yea. Then came nine years in musical comedy.

On the other hold the opponents less than the other retorted. The guest on his other hand held his attention for a few moments, and then he came back to Maydra again. Eagerly. With relief, almost. 'Tell me," he said quickly.

"What do you do on Sundays?" "All of the things my week-days deny me," Maydra answered, "and you'd marvel at the way they pile up!" "Could you find time to do something with me tomorrow, then? Say go to church? Or dinner, and drive?" 'Not church!" Maydra surprised herself by deciding so abruptly; remembering church in the little stone chapel with Tommy, in the hushed, tranquil serenity of that never-to-be-forgotten Sunday morning of scarcely a week ago. Feeling, somehow, without actually putting it into concrete thought, that church with any one else would be sacrilege, after the beauty of that hallowed instance. "Dinner, perhaps. And the drive, by all means! I love the country this time of year. The leaves in their glory, the Autumn dressing." "Poetic," am approved gravely, "It does that to me.

"Then you mean," Maydra observed thoughtfully, "that whatever a man did before he made, say several millions he'd do again, if he had the chance?" "If he had the necessity forced upon him!" Mike amended.

"If he stole and robbed, killed and brutalized to get his fortune, then he'd do the same all over aagin, if he wanted anything that badly! Money doesn't change human fundamentals. It alters the surface, the outward appearance." Maydra glanced up and became aware of Sm's quiet, intent attention to their conversation. Absurdly, she flushed, faintly, and realized in blank dismay, that she had been unconsciously laying Mike's theories down as a yardstick to measure her host by I "I see you're enjoying Mike's brilliant mind." Sam observed quietly, and relief gathered in Maydra's throat. Relief that he hadn't taken the lawyer's words in any personal manner, "I know of no one in New York who could have so much, and who apparently wants so little!" "He has a loyal friend in you, Mr. Locke!" that's he's giving a show instead of entertaining some friends!" Mike Duranty sat at Maydra left, and dropped scintillating remarks about every one present, as the dinner progressed.

Maydra liked him Immensely, not without recognizing the hardy streak of ruthless, savage hunter in him. He would make an admirable friend, and a bitter enemy, he decided. "Watch our distinguished yes-man, C. Darrel Planter, run Hamilton At-terbury into a hole in the ground," Mike commented sotto voce. "Planter listens to whatever you're saying, swallows it like a trout, bait, hook, sinker and all, and then proceeds to give it right back to you.

in words of his own choosing. No matter." he broke off and watched the couple opposite in grave, sardonic amusement, then turned back to Maydra. "No matter what you tell Planter, his total comment is repetition of your own statement, arranged in his own verbal version! Some times I wonder if he thinks that's conversation, or if he just doesn't realize te hfarce!" "You notice people a lot, don't you, Mr. Duranty?" Maydra countered. "Humanity In general, human nature," Mike answered, "is my busi-nes.

It had been a long time, several years in fact, since Sam Locke had thought that about any woman. Such a long time that he had about made up his mind that there existed no such girl. "All right. Mr. Locke." Maydra murmured casually.

Not the least bit excited. Not at all as if she were going to a party. A gala party given in her honor. No gush. No enthusiasm.

No shrill laughter, and thin brittle, artificial excitement, and empty, meaningless conversation. Just that, "All right, Mr. Sam sighed deeply. At last, he thought. At last! With three millions you could have Just about anything you wanted.

And when Sam moved away to help the Honorable Elsie Barclay as she searched for music on his white, baby grand piano, Bill added under his breath, "heaven help me!

"I did," Bill assured her blandly, "with two blondes both poisonous! And I'm here, so you must be wrong with your arithmetic, Miss Graham! Er lo you still dance with advertising men on their nights off?" "You don't deserve it!" Maydra mused helplessly. "It's a grand party, though, Bill! Lot of headline heroes!" "Lot of heels," Bill corected her briefly, "pushing Sam around with the tongs of their past glory, Veal or imaginary, and cadging free eats off him into the shoddy bargain!" "Aren't you a trifle cynical?" Maydra countered. "Not yet, I'm not," Bill opined, "but I will be.

Bill offered. "It's kind of you, Bill," Sam astonished them both by saying, "but that would be unwise of me, wouldn't it? Considering that that is exactly why you came here tonight." He stared at Bill in impassive, cool disinterest, but Maydra discovered that his dark eyes were lively with, mirth, that deep within he seethed with a boiling, bubbling excitement. Even as Bill boiled with a slow, relentless frustration and rage. Bill left, nodding a curt, barely polite good-night, and Sam helped Maydra with her wrap, and rang for the elevator.
