w OMAN’S PAGE. Attractive Hats Are Offered BY MARY MARSHALL. Apparently the fad for going bare- headed that was so noticeable among school and college girls was in fact a fad, nothing more. And those who pre- dicted that this indeed was the dawning of a new era when hats would no longer be an essential of women's dress have already begun to use their prophetic talents in another direction. Seeing a few girls go bare-legged, I suppose they are prophesying the passing of stock- gs. But hats are too attractive, too wear- ‘THIS TIE SCARF USED FOR A HEAD BAND IS FASTENED' AT T:IE gAggwwlTH SNAPS AND WITHOUT able and this season too comfortable for any one to wish to wear them only occa- sionally. And there are all sorts of other headgear to be worn when a real hat seems burdensome. All Summer long women have been wearing various sorts of bandeaux and head scarfs for sports and informal resort wear, and there is pretty good reason to feel that some such protection will be generally worn this Autumn and Winter, where a year ago girls went bareheaded. For country motor wear, too, these bandeaux are extremely comfortable. You may quite easily carry a hat on your longer tours to don for wear when you stop for luncheon or make a stop for the night, with some sort of tie scarf to be worn during long hours between. I think the most convenient and be- coming of all these scarf arrangements are the windsor tie Sort—measuring two yards in length and about seven inches across. They are made of rather heavy crepe silk cut on the bias so that they hold closely to the head when tied. ‘They are passed twice around the head a‘r‘xid knotted just behind the ear at one side. These longer, wider ties are, I think, easier to manage than the smaller sort. And if perchance you have blue eyes get one of these scarfs in plain bright, deep blue. Take my word for it that when carefully adjusted round your head it will be marvelously becoming. Then there are all sorts of little bandeaux that fasten at the back of the head with snappers. These can be more quickly adjusted, but they lack the becoming gypsy aspect produced by that knot behind the ear. We are all going to make night- gowns now—because we think that they make such charming Christmas pres- ents and trousseau gifts for the Autumn brides. And here’s the simplest pattern in the world which you can easily make for yourself from the diagram pattern ready for you this week. If you will send me your stamped, self-gd- dressed envelope I will send it to you with the sketch of the finished gown and directions for making. (Copyright. 1928.)

Until late tomorrow the planetary government is unfortunate, according to astrology, which reads in the horoscope certain evil omens. 1t is especially unfavorable to women, who may be exacting and unreasonable while this rule prevails. Husbands should exercise patience and diplomacy. Actresses of stage and screen may find this direction of the stars rather try- ing, since it awakens aspirations that may never be realized. There is a sign that seems to presage a new interest in beauty of diction and quality of voice. This will extend to new exactions for stage and_ screen. Speech will occupy extraordinary at- tention at this time, when oratory will take on added significance and will out- weigh the written word in importance. While this configuration prevails the wise will avoid dealings with banks if they desire any sort of favors. It is not a lucky day for those who seek loans, The evening is read as auspicious for public meetings and for promoting per- sonal popularity. Judges and lawyers are supposed to be especially helped by the aspects after sunset. Persons whose birthdate it is fhay have an interesting experience in”new friendships during the coming vear. These subjects of Virgo are apt to be exacting regarding family and social prestige. Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. September 7, 185! izens of Wash- ington were pleased to learn by an an- nouncement in the press today that at last a movement is being made in the city councils for the establishment of & town clock. Mr. Fisher has introduced a bill in the board of aldermen for the purchase of a clock and the erection of an alarm bell, both to be placed on top of the proposed néw guardhouse which is to be erected in a central location. The bill contemplates the purchase of a clock made by the late William A. Voss, whose skill as a clockmaker was well and favorably known in Europe and this country. The clock in question is of the very best material and workmanship, and was made to sell for the price of $2,000. It is now offered to the city corpora- tion for the sum of $600, or less than one-third of its real value. ‘To disabuse the minds of those per- sons living in the central portion of the city near where the new guardhouse is to be built, whose nerves cannot with- stand the perpetual ringing of a fire bell, it was stated today that the bell which it is proposed to place on the new central guardhouse is not designed to be rung at all, but simply to be tapped by the officer in charge to indicate the di- rection of the fire. Therefore, it is be- lieved no feasible objection can be raised against it on that score. In point of economy, the argument is made that the proposed alarm bell is already owned by the city corporation. It is now hanging in the loft of the late Northern Liberties Engine House. In a letter to The Star printed today, the hope is expressed that in the con- struction of the new guardhouse care will be taken to provide a secure, s well as a convenient and spacious building. It is declared to be a common error to say that because a watch house is a place of only temporary confinement, the prisoners being seldom kept there more than one night, it is not necessary to make it very strong and of durable materials, as the police chief and offi- cers in attendance at our watch houses and night prisoners can testify. Attention is called to the fact that murderers, burglars and other desperate criminals are frequently lodged in the watch house, and that these criminals frequently release themselves with the greatest ease, owln? to the insecurity of the prison, the cell or room in which they are confined. It is suggested that the new guardhouse have two or three cells lined with sheet iron, after the manner of the London lockups. ANSWER TO YESTERDAY'S PUZZLE STAR, . WASHINGTON, FARM RELIEF. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. The Nose Knows. Many noses one sees these days may not know very much but they look bright enough. Sometimes 1 wonder whether a nose is of any earthly use in protecting a person against perils in the environ- ment. One’s nose gives warning of the proximity of very, very dead things, but these are seldom dangerous. But is the nose so knowing when it comes to recognize real danger? Winslow and Kligler found 61,000 colon bactili (these germs come from the intestinal canal of man or animals) and 42,500 streptococet (these germs are notorious factors of suppuration and septic or severe inflammation) in one little gram, barely a third of a tea- spoonful, of dust taken from city streets. A fellow inhales a gram of dust while absorbing 6 miles of oxygen on the hoof in the city. What becomes of the 100,000 assorted germs he takes in with the dust? Dear me, just think of all the microbes one ingests in the ck of dirt each must eat here in a metlmel For my part, I'm not going to worry about it at all. If the germs are still viable I am confident that the normal nasal mucus will tangle them up and soon terminate their dastardly careers. Reassuring, if you are inclined to fret about such things, is the observation of Arnold. Ostrom and Singer, who made 400 tests on 42 normal persons, the nasal passages of each person being sprayed with an average of 20,000,000 such germs. From 90 to 95 per cent of the germs so applied were rendered non-viable (incapable of living in cul- ture or of multiplying) within 5 to 10 minutes. Good work for the nose! These investigators made sure the germs were not passed down the back of the throat, for swabs of this surface showed none of the germs going that way. ‘They made as many as eight successive seedings of the same bacteria at 30- minute intervals, yet the mucus secre- tlon in the nose still carried on its very efficlent disinfecting function with no signs of exhaustion. Another observation made by L.| Arnold, M. L. Ostrom and Charlotte Singer is worth quoting. They found | that persons placed in a cold room | know the thrill - of perfect health And in their homes yow’ll find this remarkable energy food provided three times every day FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1928.° —By JOHN CASSEL. D@, [y, & MG Nraspaper ds (temperature 45 Fahrenheit, humidity 30 per cent) had the same natural dis- Infecting power in the nasal mucus as persons in a room at ordinary tempera- ture (70 Fahrenheit, humidity 70 per cent), but the same subjects when placed in a hot room (95 Fahrenheit, humidity 90 per cent) showed a retard- ation or failing of the protective process. ‘To my mind the moral of this is plain: Overheating predisposes to respiratory infection; exposure to cold does not. People without much knowledge of physiology are prone to put consider- able confidence in varfous antiseptic sprays, gargles, washes and the like in preventing respiratory infections. I have little or no faith in such practices, but I have considerable faith in the power of the normal secretions of the ! mucus membrane to take care of any syndicate- disease germs that may find their way in there in spite of reasonable precau- tions about keeping out of range of the person who has the disease.

When vacation days are over, milady often discovers to her chagrin that the freckles or coat of tan that was so be- coming to her in sports clothes does not harmonize with the frocks she wears for business or social occasions at home. No matter how careful one may be to protect the complexion while at the shore or mountains, there is bound to be some darkening of the skin. For this reason it is a good plan to include a thorough bleaching treatment as the last items in one’s vacation budget. For those who prefer home beauty treatments, there is a simple bleaching pack that may be used on the face, neck or limbs. It is made of two table- spoonfuls carbonate of magnesia, one tablespoonful fuller’s earth, two table- spoonfuls lemon juice and enough witch hazel to make a thin paste. The following step should be taken in giving this pack: First, the skin must be cleansed with cold cream or oil, wip- ing off all the surface dust with a piece of clean absorbent cotton that has been squeezed out in witch hazel. Use plenty of cotton and wipe the skin clean. Sec- ond, wring out a Turkish towel in hot water, fold it twice lengthwise and lay it over the face. Repeat the hot appli- cation twice, then dry the skin. Third, massage a littie lemon cream into the skin with @ light upward rotary mo- tion. Fourth, squeeze out two pads of absorbent ' cotton in cold water and place them over your eyes so that lashes and eyebrows are covered. This will prevent the hairs from being bleached. Fifth, spread on the bleaching pack and allow it to dry on the skin. Sixth, rinse off in tepid water and pat the skin dry. Anything of Yours in Escrow? Escrow may sound new and strange to you, but it is similar in meaning to the more popular phrase, “holding the stakes.” When the right to property hinges on & decision or event of any kind, property is usually held in escrow by an impartial party until rightful ownership is determined. This means of keeping the title clear until one's rights have been recognized is a wise one. and assures one of keep- ing out of difficulties arising from later disputes. = Suppose, for example, you owned stock on margin and there was some ques- tion of your full equity. Instead of re- sorting to litigation you might agree o put the stock shares in escrow until a refree or board of arbitrators had acted on the case. Perhaps a more frequent example may be found when a woman is widow- ed and it is necessary to close up her hushand's business. Naturally this will be influenced by certain conditions and facts. In this case both papers and money may be placed or deposited in escrow with a trust company which acts as a disinterested stakeholder. When the business is finally wound up one duly receives all that is right fully due her without any further fc for [ i LEEDS. Remove the eye , also, Seventh, saturate a large piece of absorbent cot- ton with witch hazel and lay this like a mask over your face or other parts that are being bleached. Eighth, wring out towel in hot water and lay it over the cotton mask. Before the towel cools replace it with another hot towel, then remove cotton and towel. Ninth, wrap a plece of ice in a handkerchief and rub it over the skin for several minutes. Dry. Tenth, pat on your favorite skin tonic to soothe and soften the skin. This may be made of equal parts of rosewater, glycerin and witch hazel. Allow it to dry on the skin. This bleaching treatment may be taken once or twice a week. If you are going out afterward, make-up may be applied after the skin tonic has dried. First pat on your foundation creem, then the rouge and powder. Brush the eyebrows and lashes with brilliantine or olive oil. (Copyright. 1928 Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. mality. The trust company will hold the property in question until the facts have all been determined and then will de- liver the money according to the terms by which it was put in escrow. ‘Things need not be put in escrow with a trust company, but the latter is commonly used because of its respon- sibility. A trustworthy and competent individual may be as good, but cne nat- urally favors the strongest and least fallible agency. Ordinarily it is true that business men make greatest use of the privi- lege of escrow, but women could use it to their advantage, too. For example, a dispute with domestic help over salary could be solved by putting the money in escrow until the question of proper remuneration has been settled. Holding the stakes is a responsible Job, and it is helpful to know that onz can shift the burden to capable shoul- ders without undue risks.
