WOMAN’S PAGE.” MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. How to Look Shorter. Dear Miss Leeds: I am 5 feet 815 inches tall, 38 years old and weigh 165 pounds. I am very sensitive about be- ing so tall. How can I dress to make myself scem shorter? I wear medium flat heels. My hair is abundant, and I wear {8 in a flufly bob. I am a de- cided brunctte with a clear complexion. Are light or dark colors best for me?— ANNE R. Answer —The average weight for your age and height is between 150 and 154 pounds. I think that, if you lost about 10 pounds. your figure would be in bet- ter proportion. Choose neatly tailored styles in dark or soft neutral colors. Vivid or light colors make one seem larger. Glossy fabrics have a similar effcct. Avoid stiff, bulky materials and instead chocse soft, closely woven mate- rials with a dull finish. For general wear you might have a dark biue crepe romaine frock with skirt, composed of three or four deep tucks, a shallow V-shaped neckline with | a jabot. A wrap-around skirt with a simple drape at one side would be pretty also. A dark brown chiffon vel- vet with cream lace trimming and a slightly flared, two-tiered skirt with close-fitting_hips would be becoming. You may also wear old blue, bronze- green, medium reseda, wine and henna shades. I do not think that a flufly box is suitable or becoming to a woman of your height and weight. A neatly waved, long-hair coiffure would be bet- ter in my opinion. LOIS LEEDS. Falling Hair and Dandruff. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) I am a young | man, 19 years old. I have been troubled for the last few months with a great Aeal of dandruff; my scalp itches and a few hairs fall out each time I comb my hair, What are the cause and the reme- @y? I shampoo my hair once a week. (2) Is a massage composed of fuller's earth and witch hazel good for the face? Does it take out blackheads?— A READER. Answer.—(1) It is likely that the DAILY DIET RECIPE JELLY ROLL. Eggs, two. Sugar, three-fourths cup. Cold water, four tablespoons. Flour, one cup. Baking powder, two teaspoons. Salt, one-half teaspoon. Vanilla, one teaspoon. Jelly, one cup. ROLL WEIGHS ABOUT ONE POUND. Beat egg yolks. Add sugar gradually, beating well. Add wa- ter and beat well. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt, and sift into first mixture. Beat well. Add vanilla. Fold in egg whites beaten siiff. Pour into long greased and floured pan 914 x14% in. so that cake will be about one-fourth inch deep. Bake about 15 minutes in mod- erate oven. Do not overbake and form hard crust. Turn out on cloth sprinkled with powdered sugar. Trim hard edges. Spread with jelly and roll while warm. Work quickly and genfly. Keep cloth wrapped around roll until it is cool and it will hold its shape. Sliced jelly roll topped with whipped cream makes a de- licious dessert. DIET NOTE. shampoo mixture you are using is too drying or perhaps you have been using some sort of hair tonic or hair pomade that is not good for your hair. Make your own shampoo mixture out of pure White castile soap. Grate the soap on a nutmeg grater and melt it in hot water. When the mixture cools, it will be a soft jelly, which may be kept for weeks. Add more hot water to it when you wash your hair so that the sham- poo will be a liquid soap. Be very careful to rinse out all the soap and dry your hair by rubbing it in warmed towels. Every other night rub a small quantity of white vaseline or castor oil into your scalp and mas- sage for 10 minutes. It is natural that a few hairs should come out each time you comb your hair. (2) The fuller’s earth and witch hazel make a facial pack with astringent properties. It does not remove black- heads as well as soap and water do. LOIS LEEDS. Sour Milk for Bleaching. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) Does sour milk whiten the skin and remove freckles? (2) I am 5 feet 3 inches tall, 14 years old and weigh 102 pounds. Is this cor- rect? I have dark hair and eyes. What colors are becoming to me?—BROWN EYES. Answer—(1) Yes, sour milk or but- termilk makes a mild skin bleach. It will not remove freckles entirely, how- ever. (2) You are 10 pounds under- weight. You forgot to describe your skin tints, so that I cannot tell which colors would be best for you. Please try again and remember to inclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your request. LOIS LEEDS. (Copyrisht, 1920.) Everyday Law Cases When May Seller Rely on Dealer's Representation as to Age of Car Being Sold? BY THE COUNSELLOR. Samuel Lake paid $2,300 for a motor truck that was represented to be a 1917 model. Later Lake found that the truck was in reality built in 1913 and he thereupon demanded that the seller make a reduction in price. This the seller refused to do, contending that Lake could himself have ascertained the the correct year of the model and it was his own fault if he failed to do so. Lake instituted suit and at the trial proved that the seller of the truck had promised to ascertain the correct year of the model of the truck and that ne was, therfore, entitled to reply on the representation that was made to him He further proved that the difference in value between a 1917 truck and a 1913 truck was $880. Lake was awarded a verdict for the damages he claimed, the court stating: “Where the seller of a truck promised to find out when the truck was buiit, and as a dealer had access to such in- formation,, the buyer, as a matter of law, had a right to rely on his repre- sentation 1s to the age of the truck, In the absence of facts putting him to inquiry.” Recipe furnishes starch, sugar and some protein.

A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN, A Heaven Beyond. Text: “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the son of man hath not where to lay his head."—Matt., viii.20. The fox is satisfied. The bird is sat- isfied. All animal creatures have their places of abode, and with these places they are perfectly satisfled. They ex- perience no feeling of discontent. The ox fiinds its heaven in its stall, and the hearthstone is a sufficient heaven for the cat. The sphere in which these creatures exist corresponds with their nature, and answers to their capacity. They never improve their sphere, and have no sense of desire for a higher sphere, Contrast with this the discontent and unsatisfied yearnings of man. The ani- mal is at home in his world, but man is not. Nothing in his life quite satis- fies him. While every other creature finds the limits of its growth here be- low, man looks forward to a growth which extends beyond the limits pos- sible to him here. He is conscious of a capacity which is not met in his pres- ent environment. His present sphere and circumstances do not answer to the aspirations of his heart. Christ por- trayed this discontent on man's part when He said: “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have their nests; but the son of man hath not where to lay his head.” What is the answer to this feeling? Can it be that man shall never find a place where he can lay his head and be content? Our hearts tell us that we were made to be satisfied. Surely we shall not be forever denied that which is not denied to God's other creatures. Since earth affords us no heaven, there must be for us a heaven heyond. . i The readymade garment section of New York is almost a city in itsell—a community of 25,000 persons—the coat, suit and dressmaking capital of the loaf fresh twice a day. seal of The City Baking Institute you’ll find on every loaf is your guarantee of perfection. "RICE’S BREAD Nation. THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1929. BY HERBERT The lowly ham omelet may take first place among the breakfast dishes in the land during the next four years. It is one of the favorite foods of President Herbert Hoover. So says Mrs, Mary E. Rattley, and she should be in a position to know. For eight years she presided over the culinary regions of the Hoo- ver home in Wash- ington. And while she did not follow the Hoovers to the White Fouse, as she had hoped, nevertheless she did advise the kitchen force at the Executive Man- sion what the Pres- ident does and does not like in the way of food, and how he wants it prepared. For, she is happy to state, Mr. Hoover never once complained of her cooking in the eight years of her service at the S street home. Only once in that time did he make a request, and then he 4| asked to have his eggs cooked a little harder. Ham omelet a la Hoover, as prepared by Mrs. Rattley, is as follows: “Take six eggs and beat them all to- gether. You need not salt, for the ham does that. Add three tablespoons of cream and cook slowly in a well but- tered pan. When cooked on the bottom, put under toaster flame abeut three minutes. Then lay the ground ham already heated in a line across the omelet’s diameter, and roll up without too much handling, as you would a jelly roll. Surround it with a tasteful fringe of the remaining ham. “You must be artistic about laying the ham in and rolling the omelet,” she warns. On Sunday mornings President Hoover likes sausage and scrambled eggs and fried hominy. “I was always very particular about the hominy,” Mrs. Rattley continued. “I would insist on whole grains, washed and drained and rolled in cream and sprinkled with a little flour and browned in butter.” ‘The President is fond of many other things. In fact, Mrs. Rattley says he likes everything that is good and good for him. Berries with cream, vanilla ice cream and watermelon appeal to his taste. And pie of any kind. Cold sliced lamb surrounded by parsley with jelly in the center is a luncheon dish that finds favor with him. At first Mrs. Rattley thought she couldn’t give any of Hoover’s pet dish- es, for she is not like many other cooks. She does not say three teaspoons of this or a cup of that. When we sug- gested that perhaps she cooked in- tuitllonllly. she was quick with the reply: “No, scientifically. I have studied it all my life and I love to cook.” Next to her pride in having pleased the President with her cooking, she is happlest over the fact that she once prppl:red a meal for Col. Charles Lind- bergh. Somebody said once that the Govern- ment shows more interest in the welfare At tea—the correct bread and butter . . wafer thin, full-flavored SILVER service that is part of the family legend—fragile cups brought back from China, 'round the Horn—and bread and butter as dainty as the slim fingers that serve it! For more than a generation Washington women have loved Rice’s full-flavored, fine- textured bread, that falls in such smooth even slices of creamy richness. There is a fresh appetizing something about its tender crust and firm moist crumb that makes you say “homemade.” You recognize that old.time ‘“baking day” aroma the minute you push back the carefully sealed wrapper from the golden It stays fresh and moist for days, too, and never loses that delicious “homey” quality. That is because Rice’s Bread is made with fresh, rich milk and extra shortening, and is baked slowly clear through in the famous split-top loaf. You'll find it makes marvelous toast and sandwiches—and gives all the familiar bread dishes a new, richer flavor. Your grocer gets Rice’s nutritious, rich Remember that the C. PLUMMER. of its hogs and chickens than it does in the children of the country. That may have been true at one time. It certainly cannot be said now. If you have any doubts, then trouble yousself | to do a little investigating. - It is amaz- ing just how much the Government does love your child. There is here in Washington a divi- sion of Government called the Rureau of Home Economics. It is the business of the people in this bureau to know things about children and act on that knowledge. | For example, after an exhaustive study there was brought forth a gar- ment known as a sun suit. It is for small children and designed to expose to the sunlight as much of the body as possible, and at the same time efford | proper protection to the youngster. t the present the bureau is looking into this business of buttons and but- tonholes. Observations are being made | to determine which size of button is easiest for tiny fingers to manipulate and where buttons may be most con- veniently placed. Elastic bands and tightly gathered romper legs disappeared after an edict from the bureau. War has been declar- ed on collars. Ample pockets are being encouraged. Nor is this bureau the only depart- ment of Government concerned with children. There is the Patent Office. always eager to protect an invention that will make life more comfortable for tots. An unending flow of products is being put on the market. ‘There is a new high chair with an extra wide and heavy base to insure added safety, with a compartment be- low to keep baby blankets, toys and other needs. ‘Then there is a crib having a cover that may be slid end-wise along the top to hold the youngster while being dried after a bath. A new folding bath tub has just recently been patented. Another invention is a long, flexible arm of metal to hold a milk bottle firm- | ly, even though the baby tries to push | it away. A Chicago bachelor has been granted a patent for a baby carriage that can be rocked gently by an | electric motor. He has not yet been | able to accompany | the rocking with a | lullaby. There is a teeter- totter that can be ‘worked by just one chil A spring takes the place of the second child. A baby carriage that will not tip over at a street crossing has been patented, as well as a bottle that will not roll. A small bottle warmer, electrical- | ly heated, has been granted a patent. Another in the list is a portable con- traption used to hold water for bathing | on the lawn or in the house. The watc? may be kept to the depth that ;h:) mother believes will be safe for the aby. And 8o on down the list. “Tain’t much help having your heart in the right place when you oughtta be usin’ your head.” LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. ‘This afternoon when ma came home I sed, Hay ma, whats you think, I got a serprise for you. And I run up in my room and got it, being a little ice cream freezer, saying, Here you are, ma, aint that swell, some man rang the bell and left it for you free of charge for nuthing, you dont haff to tern it or anything, you just put stuff in and it terns to ice creem all by itself, aint that swell, ma? But what are you tawking about, you say some man left it for me as a pres- ent? ma sed, and I sed, Yes mam, some man with a little pointy mustash. Dont be silly, men dont do that sort of thing, ma sed, and I sed, Well this one did, ma, hg had a lot of them in a automobeel, he sed you could have your choice of this or a clock so I took this for you because you got a lot of clocks:- and you dident have any ice creem freezer, hows that for a bargain to get for nuthing, ma? And you meen to say he dident wunt me to sine anything or anything? ma sed, and I sed, Not about the ice creem freezer he dident, ma, all he wunted you to sine was about subscribing for some magazines, ony you wasent home so I went in and sined your name for you because I knew you wouldent wunt to miss getting a ice creem freezer for nuthing, heer it is, ma. Meening the paper I sined, saying on it, The undersined heerby agrees to subscribe at the special price of $14.75 for the following family group of maga- zines for one year, for wich our agent will collect at the rate of $2 a week every Monday. Not from me he wont, well of all things, ma sed.

My idea of Bond Bread is quality, backed by service and supported by clean advertising. Each day that idea becomes clearer and clearer to me as I see the results of my Bond business. I can give Bond to my customers with confidence because I know it will satisfy customers, and that is what counts in busi- ness. The service is excellent; I can always count on getting fresh Bond Bread from my salesman. And receiving service twice a day helps me a whole lot in getting fresh Bond Bread to my customers. Therefore; my Bond Bread sales have grown. It is a healthy sort of growth, too—a growth due to the bread itself and to nothing else. Its own quality sells Bond. We haven’t time to do any selling for it. After all— there is no bread like L L. ASRAEL (Signed) Bond
