In apple blossom time people go to the Shenandoah for a festival. Crowds flock into Washington for Easter to see the cherry blossoms. Azaleas bring people across the continent in Spring 10 Charleston, and in April the meanest red-hill hamlet in Georgia is trans- formed by peach blow. And all this is right and as it should be. But what I cannot understand is why nobody goes to the country to look upon the harvest. No need to go far, either. Frederick County, Md., to single out but one of many spots, at this time of vear is a land of milk and honey; or, better still, ‘of cream in old crocks in cool, lizard-haunted springhouses, and of sheets of gold where the harvest fields stand gleaned ®r waiting for the gleaner. It is a spectacle more rich and somber, more sumptuous and freighted with fulfilled splendor than the orchards of Springs. It is the golden crown of all the years. One will not see here, save in back- ward districts, the European harvester —the man reaping his steep, solitary fleld alone by sickle, nor the bare- footed girl with poppies in her hair, nor gl-et the houquet of wheat and oats and riey and pine boughs hung above the barn door, symbol that the harvest is in. But we have our own sights and sounds—the roar and the amber dust of the threshing machines, the laughter of the children riding home on the hay- ricks, the warfare of the crows and grackles in the turning woods, and the ageing of apples in the cider presses. ‘Then night falls, the workers sleep, the flelds are stripped, and the ecrickets change in the midnight chill of the naked fields. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Drinking Milk. One mother says: Some_youngsters do not take readily to drinking milk from a glass when trying to wean them from a bottle.

This is the trick that is a good one whether you have one or a dozen coats. It is a scarf made of silk to match the lining of the coat, and some of the smart new fur coats are made with these matching scarfs so there is no reason why when you have yours lined you should not ask to have a square of the silk re- served for the same purpose. These silk scarfs are worn folded in front under the fur coat. To give a smart and becoming touch to your nightgowns, slips and other pieces of lingerie you should have some of the new posies made of ribbon.

Everyday Law Cases May Will, if Lost, Be Established By Testimony? BY THE COUNSELLOR. Five days after making his will Mr. Spencer died. He had been ill for several weeks and had been unable to leave his bed. After his death John Rich, his close friend and adviser, looked for the will in the safe where it had been placed, but found that it was missing. Seeking to carry out Mr. Spencer's desires, Rich filed a petition in court asking permission to establish the will, offering to bring in clear and convinc- ing proof of its provisions. However, several heirs who felt that they had been neglected in the will objected to the procedure. The court, however, permitted the will to be proven, stating: “The general rule is that a will lost before the death of the testator con- tinues legally éffective if the loss was established in probate procecding *Matchless s opula coffee *It is a matter of record in sealed tins.

WASHINGTON THE CITY BOY IN THE COUNTRY. (A A D. C. TUESDAY, —By JOHN CASSEL. ch\ N T st Rewpaper Sy THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Wednesday, September 12. Astrologers read tomorrow as rather an unimportant day in planetary direc- tion. Under this rule it is well to de- vote more attention to the world of the mind than to the domain of material things. This is an unfavorable direction of the stars for dealing with banks or bankers. One’s financial statis may be peculiarly depressing. ‘Women will do well to be :careful when they go shopping while this con- figuration prevails, for they may spend more than they can afford. Under this planetary government there may be much tendency toward libel in the public prints and other- wise. It is well to think twice before speaking. Much intrigue and deception may be prevalent at this time, when Neptune frowns upon the earth. ‘Women may be inclined to be tem- peramental and exacting tomorrow, especially in money matters. They should discipline themselves and prac- tice self-sacrifice. All the signs appear to indicate that Autumn weddings will be numerous, but they may be even less successful than is usual, even in this modern social world. The seers announce that the peak of liberty and license in love making and marriage has been reached, and that after this year there will be greater domestic stability. After the Autumn ingress there may be many signs of warfare in Europe, astrologers foretell. The world will cxununue to be in a state of fermenta- tion. ‘There is a sign of promise for indus- try everywhere in the United States, and there should be marvelous increase of prosperity. ‘Women are to enjoy much pertain- ing to the finer things of life, if the stars are rightly read. Art and music will flourish. The stars that encourage all the feminine characteristics will have a strong influence all through the Au- tumn, changing fashions and manners. Persons whose birth date is tomor- fow may have many unusual and strange experiences in the coming year. Secret plans may prove unfortunate. These subjects of Virgo may be too much inclined to indulge in extrava- gance, Children born tomorrow may be dreamers who care little for worldly success. The subjects of this sign probably will be talented, and many may have the touch of genius. They will not brook any sort of interference in their careers (Copyright. 1928.) Salmon on Toast.

September 11, 1790.—President Wash- ington returned to Mount Vernon to- day, thus bringing to an end his tour of the Eastern States. He will take a rest of a few weeks and then enter upon the execution of the law of Congress authorizing him to select a site for the Federal Capital somewhere on the Po- tomac River between the Eastern Branch and Conocochegue Creek, Md., ;l distance of 67 miles as the crow es. Congress bade farewell to New York August 12, when it adjourned to meet in Philadelphia next December for the third session of the first Congress. Four days after adjournment President Washington left New York on a tour through Rhode Island and other East- ern States. Although Congress passed the law for the location of the Federal City before adjournment, there is no record of Gen. Washington having yet taken any steps to select the exact location. While the President’s plane are not known to the public, it is believed by persons close to him that he will make a personal inspection of various pro- posed sites for the Federal City be- tween the mouth of the Eastern Branch and Conocochegue Creek, probably making the journey by horseback next month. Nothing is known officially as to the President’s personal views on the mat- ter, but the subject is being discussed in a lively fashion by persons living in Georgetown and Alexandria and those living in Hagerstown and Sharpsburg, in Maryland, and Shepherdstown, in Virginia, all of which are near Conoco- cheague Creek. It is urged by residents of towns on or near the upper river that the situa- tion there is more healthy and it will be nearer to the fast developing farm- ing region of the interior and to the territory west of the mountains. They point out that already there are many thriving towns in this vicinity. Advocates of the Eastern Branch lo- cation say that every advantage men- tioned for the upper site is overbal- anced by the fact that the mouth of the Eastern Branch is the head of tide- water, and there would be a free pas- sage for oceangoing ships to the pro- posed new city. They declare that the proper place to build a great city is at a point where ships from the sea can penetrate farthest inland to trade with the interior. Gen. Washington, on account of his residence at Mount Vernon, is familiar with the Eastern Branch location, but it is understood that he intends to in- spect it as well as the others before announcing a decision.

I go to Annapolis often. Dear me, I've been in love with | so many Navy men. I remember an awfully cute man—Fred, his name was —Heavens, he used to write to me once every five minutes——" her voice trailed off into a murmur of reminiscent satis- faction. Her escort jooked politely interested. He was even ready to be entertained. Perhaps this friendly little introduction would put them on a more intimate footing. But Penelope’s was not a friendly lit- tle introduction. It was an endless monologue. You see she had it firmly fixed in her mind that she'd been a riot with naval men #nd that if she could convey this knowledge properly to the | peor victim at her side, he, too, would be one of her conquests. Penelope always worked on that ba: When she met a boy from Princeton held him enthralled with accounts of what she'd done to men at Princeton. She went into ghastly details of their sufferings when she'd had to throw them over. She related with gusto the tale of their love, their adoration, their undying faithfulness. Hers was a harmle sort of pastime, but somehow it didn’t seem to be a par- ticularly successful method of attracting men. The boys who listened respectfully to stories of her countless conquests always drifted away quietly when she wasn't looking, and got themselves engaged to stupid girls who never had had the wit to boast of former triumphs. Penelope grew resentful and rather sour after a time. What was the good of all her little successes if she couldn't use them to bring her new ones? ‘The whole awful truth is, of course, that Pen’s successes were not sufficient- ly dazzling to be worth repeating. If they had been, they would not have needed repeating. ‘The truly popular girl has no need to recount her triumphs in public. They are well known. If not, they are soon made apparent. When the ballroom is made awarz that a charming young thing is run- ning away with every masculine heart present, the ballroom does not have ‘o be told that she is a popular girl. Every one within a radius of 20 miles knows by the next merning that a big nl;(mber has struck town, and no mis- take. No need for that little lady to boast of the big time she had in her home | town. Whereas poor little Penelope, sitting rather forlornly on the edge of things and living on past imagined glorics, does not ring true. The boy who listens to her wonders perhaps why she dwells so much in the past—why her glowing popularity is not more apparent in the present. Perhaps if she gave herself less of a write-up the casual onlooker would be less struck with her obvious unpopu- larity. Perhaps if she concentrated more on making a real hit with those about her—and less on impressing them with her past exploits—she would find ths path to popularity less wearisome. It is useless to boast of what yon have done. It is necessary to prove what you can do. Only in that way will you attain whatever you seek in this world.

I'm quite a distance from scal of any kind, so I am telling you t best I can of how much I've reduced. “MRS. G.” Helen Wills is as right on this ques- tion as she is on tennis. Only I would as to include the men. They should be ashamed, for they picture only a re- mediable weakness. While excess weight may not alwa; be an indication of gluttony, it certainly is an indication of a taste for rich foods which should be curbed. It should be known now in this day of public health education that overweight may be due as much to the quality of the foods eaten as it is to the amount. When a person who is overweight tells you that he eats very little, so eating has nothing to do with his over- ‘There is one thing you must consider when going on a diet. That is the amount of protein you have in each day's food ration. There is such a thing, incidentally, as having too much. So it upsets the system. This has hap- pened when unskilled people have given out diet lists. But you should have about 250 to 350 protein calories a_day, reducing or not. It is this food element which repairs waste, or, if young, makes you grow. So every day's diet should include one pint of skimmed milk or buttermilk, The caloric value of this is 160, of which nearly half is protein. Also’ the day’s diet should include a level table- spoonful of butter for the valuable vita- min A -vhich butter contains; or the butter could be avoided and the skimmed milk changed to whole milk. It comes to the same thing, for the butter is 100 calories. Cheese has the most concentrated amount of protein. A 100-calorie por- tion of cheese will have about 75 calories of proteln. (You do not count these up separately, by the way.) Very lean meat or fish will run from under 50 to more.than 75 calories of protein for 100 calories of general food value. An egg is about a third protein, and an average sized egg is 75 or 80. So you can count this up. In other foods the “I hear the Prince of Wales does a little ridin' off and on, and I guess I can say the same.” change the word women to persons, so | BEAUTY CHATS weight, it is just as absurd as though he said, “I put less money in the bank than 1 draw out, still my bank account is accumulating.” A bank account won't acumulate unless more is added than !s taken out. No more will fat accumu- late unless more food is taken in than is used up in the energy requirements for the physical activities. ‘Therefore Helen Wills is right. When a knowledge of nutrition is universal, then we are all going to be ashamec of carrying excess weight. And it will be a grand and glorious day from the health viewpoint, for excess weight, with the unbalanced diet that brings it on, is one of the greatest little chronic disease breeders and life shorteners | there is. ‘The pamphlet Mrs. G. followed can be obtained by following d@lumn rules.

The caloric value of an ounce of pure protein is 113, the same of pure starches and sugars, the carbohydrates, that is. Fat is 255 calories an ounce. Roughly, two and a quarter times as fattening as other kinds of foods. So it isn't the potato you wani to avoid as much as butter, cream, fat on meat and fried foods, no matter what they are fried in. H.

Try a good grade of castile soap or any other that is made from olive oil, and rinse enough to remove all the suds after- ward. If the skin feels drawn, mas- sage it a bit with your finger tips— just enough to bring the blood to the |surface and start a new circulation.
