The' Sidewfls of .Wa‘qhington BY THORNTON FISHER. !° The traditional egg rolling on the fawn of the Whlue‘!:ouss was broad- | Glut cast yesterday. This evenc in the future should provide an opportunity for the broadcaster of sporting events. knows but in this: “Ladies and gen- tlemen, we are now on the lawn of the Executive Mansion, 1600 Pennsylvania avenue. Little El- mer Glutz and Otto Feedle, accompan- ied by the el- Glutzes and Feedles, are about ready to engage in their annual egg rolling. Both boys declare that they never felt better in their lives, and are prepared to give the eggs a rolling such as never was witnessed in the historic old grounds. Each has been training for a fortnight and appears to be ship- shape. “Crowds are beginning to fill the huge inclosure. Among those occuping eggside seats are Mr. and Mrs, Blik of R street and the three little Bliks, The Loots of Wisconsin avenue have arrived with the small Loots and are wav- ing to friends. “The Marine Band has just entered, headed by Capt. Taylor Branson, Capt. Branson is nodding to friends and. the trap drummer is shaking hands with a private policeman. I see Elmer Glutz, the champion egg roller, approaching the microphone. Just a minute, folks, and I will have him speak to you. Here he is. Let me introduce Master Elmer Glutz. Say ‘hello’ to the folks, Elmer.,” Elmer says: “Well, folks, I never felt more like roiling than I do today. My arm is far more accurate than it was last year and I have more confidence in the eggs. Egg rolling is no longer a sport for the simon-pures, but has become an art, or a science, if you please, requiring agility of hand and keenness of eye. “When I started egg rolling, two years ago, I was but 3 years old. During the past three years I have improved to an astonishing extent. “It is important, of course, to have the right-shaped eggs. I use nothing but Rhode Island Red eggs. ‘This, of course, is a matter of personal choice. Some well known rollers prefer Plym- outh Rocks or Leghorns. My e are chosen carefully, first for their bouncing qualities and second for their sturdiness. Candy eggs are barred by the rules, and the use of & china, non- breakable egg Is sufficient to disqualify & contestant, with the possible expulsion from all future egg-rolling. “I desire at this time to thank my host of admirers and to assure them that I will do my best to deserve the confidence they have reposed in me. In conclusion, let me say, ‘May the best boyN in’ I thank you. “Now, ladies and gentlemen, ve Just listened to mtl% Elmer Glmhaln a few minutes the fray will begin. The BEAUTY CHATS A Shampoo Preliminary. If your scalp is inclined to be dry or if you have a scalp covered with dan- druff, begin your shampoo the day or night before you do the actual cleansing. A dry scalp is not an unhealthy one any more than a dry skin, but it may have a tendency to collect tiny skin particies. ‘The scalp covered with dandruff is se- riously affected, for dandruff after & time becomes & disease. In either case an oil massage will soften all the par- ticles adhering to the sealp so they will come away when lathering for the shampoo next day. The scalp that is dry will be benefited by the oil. It will become more supple, and the roots of the hair will share in Willie Willis BY ROBERT QUILLEN. “That new boy is hard to trade with.

They are singing, ‘How beautiful are the birds and trees’ They are friends of the contender, and he is visibly touched. “The champion’s mother is now ap- proaching and asks her famous son if he has a clean handkerchief. - Very soon the egg rolling will begin. The sky is overcast and threatens rain. This will be & point in faver of the con- tender, because Elmer Glutz is not a good mud egg roller. He rolls best on sunny days. “The crowd is becoming restless and is begging for the battle to begin. A lady is calling, ‘Come, come, let's see the mun’ There will be a moment's delay until the rollers examine each other’s eggs. Loaded eggs are not per- mitted, as every one knows, although Mnclo\g-m 88S | it is whispered that some unscrupu- lous rollers have indulged in the nefari- ous practice of using 6-ounce eggs. “We understand that both boys will continue to roll until they get hungry. ‘The prize for* which they are fighting today is a brand-new volume of “Robin- son Cruso.’ There is a side bet of 12 all-day suckers or lollipops and a dish of ice cream. The loser will receive an ice cream soda as his share of the urse, “It won't be long now. Here we are ready to start. The referee is patting both boys on the head. Elmer Glutz roxlnls the first egg.

Any fine oil will answer for such scalps, The scalp covered with dandruff needs a heavier oil than the dry one, and it will soften the dandruff much better if the ofl is very warm. An anti- septic such as sulphur added to the oil will help the condition also. . Warm crude oil in which some sulphur is added untll a pomade is formed would be as good as anything a person can use without expert knowledge.

I wash it once a week. (2) Why is my face always greasy? Is this due to my using cold cream? What makes me have pimples and enlarged pores? I am 18 years old, 5 feet 3 inches tall and weight 116 pounds. Answer. (1) ‘The ofliness of your scalp and skin is due to excessive ac- tivity of the oil glands. The “dead” look may be the result of the soap curd that forms on the hair when it is washed in & day. Eat plenty of raw salads, suc- sulent vegetables and fruits. Drink six glassfuls of water daily between meals. Avold constipation, Take a warm cleansing bath each night and a stimu- ulating cold or tepid bath, followed by a hard rubdown, each morning. You may use cold cream for cleansing your face, but be sure to wipe it all off carefully and then wash your face with plenty of warm water and soap. Rinse for sev- eral minutes in cold water, dry and pat on some witch hazel or other astringent. Avoid all greasy foods, fried foods and rich pastries, Pimples may be the re- sult of eating too much candy or mak- other dietic errors. They also de- velop from blackheads if the skin is not kept clean. You are a little below the average weight for your age and height. LOIS LEEDS, (Copyright, 1929.)

However, it occasionally happens that for perhaps some unknown reason. a food or medication that is perfectly as- similated by most with no ill effects will have some undesirable reaction on a very few. These have what is known as an idiosyncrasy to these foods or medications. It may be possible that your mother has an idiosyncrasy to oranges, but this is very unusual. “Laxatives and purgatives have lost all effect on me, unless it is one that I have never tried before, and sometimes even then they do not work, regardless of the fact that I have never taken much medicine. Can you tell me why it is that they have lost all effect on me? Enemas are the same.—MRS. J.” It is physiologic law that stimulants too often repeated or in too large doses become depressants, Mrs. J. We can consider it a protest of nature because it is unnatural to use them. Cathartics should be taken when there is any poisonous substance in- g::ud or any other reason, and should considered as a medicine rather than a daily habit. Kellogg believes that daily small enemas are not harmful, but it seems to me that these also are an unnatural process, although they are undoubtedly less harmful than constant physic tak- ing. The bowels should be regulated by diet and exercise. JABBY “Runnin’ & car may be expensive, but there’s times when it costs a lot more just to leave it standin"” (Copyrisht, 1929.)

Inheritance has something to do with this. = The temperament of the child has a lot to do with it. The peculiar processes of digestion and as- similation have more to do with it. It is wise to regard the doctors who specialize in the health of children, but 1t is wiser to interpret the rules and modify them to the needs of the child in question. is the old, old story of common. sense. ‘There are children who cannot eat eggs without great discomfort. Instead of forcing eggs upon them, give them other food and say no more about it. It is more than likely that when their bodles need eggs the children will eat them. But if by battle and tears you associate eggs with great unhappiness, deep distress, that child will eat no eggs while he has power to resist them. ‘The same thing is true about the quantity of milk that a child must drink. All healthy children need milk, and it is seldom indeed that a child re- fuses to take it. But all children do not want to drink a quart of it, nor should they be asked to do so. If they ask for four glasses of milk a day, let them have it, but do not force it upon them. After they have a reasonable amount of food they may not be able to digest any more—and food means milk as well as potatoes. 4 Some children are made positively ill by cod liver oil. One little boy was un- derweight according to the standard scales and his mother thought that a tablespoonful of cod liver ofl three times a day ought to fix him up. He lost each meal with promptness and dis- patch, but his poor mother, cheered on by the health idea, persisted in admig- istering the nauseous dose until the cihld took to his bed and the child specialist came to his rescue. The health charts and rules are gen- eralizations. ‘They ‘serve a useful pur- pose in cailing attention to the heaith of the children, but nobody claims that they are the last word. They are but the first. Study them and use them only as they apply to your child. Un- derweight may mean good health; it may mean serious iliness. Ask the child specialist before you make out a sched- ule of diet and medicine. Everyday Law Cases When 1Is Employer Liable for Daemages Done by Salesman Driving Auto? BY THE COUNSELOR. Henry Ellwood's duties as a salesman required him to drive an automobile for his employer. While driving the machine after working hours on one occasion Ellwood struck and seriously injured Mrs. Thom- as Nash. Mrs. Nash later instituted suit againt Ellwood’s employer for dam- ages. At the trial the employer proved that Ellwood was using the car for his own pleasure and without author- ity. ‘The jury hearing the case there- upon brought in a verdict in favor of Cllwood’s employer, in accordance &m mr:. following instruction from court: “To eptitle the plaintiff to recover he must show that the relation of master and servant existed between the defendant and the person in charge of the car at the time of the acci- dent, that the servant was engaged in his master's business and was act- ing within the scope of his employment at the time the tortious act was com- mitted resulting in the injury to the plaintiff. The test of liability is wheth- er the servant at.the time of plain- tiff's injury was acting within the scope of his authority in furtherance of his master’s business. In the instant case Ellwood was driving the car for his own pleasure and the employer is, there- fore, not liable.” eese Product Besides being supremely delicious, Velveeta will spread, slice and melt, and do each equally well.

Washington was the greatcst horse- man of them all His dark gray mount, Blueskin, was his favorite, and the first President never passed up an opportunity to indulge in his love of horses, John Adams was not par- ticularly enamored of horses, but Thomas Jeflerson had fine ones. He rode his favorite, Wild Alr, to Wash- ington for his inauguration, and the hours from 1 to 3 o'clock every day were given over to riding. » John Quincy Adams often walked to Holmead track, two miles from the ‘White House, to enjoy a race. Jackson was reared on the bacR of a horse, “Old Hickory” once paid $2,500 for a coach for his wife. Van Buren had a car- riage of dark olive, which was_orna- mented with brass trimmings. He al- ways insisted that they be polished until they shone like gold. Harrison declined to use & handsome carriage and four beautiful horses pre- sented him by the Whigs of Baltimore, and he rode his own horse to his in- auguration, Tyler bought a second- hand carriage from Paulding, Secretary of the Navy under Van Buren, and Polk rode in a carriage decorated in dark olive with gold borders, The cushions were deep crimson trimmed with lace. The curtains were blue and red. Four Horses pulled it through the streets of ‘Washington. Zachary Taylor rode about the Capital on the old snow-white horse that car- ried him through the Mexican War. Pierce owned a horse as blind as a stone wall, which he rode around Washington. Buchanan paid $800 for a set of har- ness studded with 56 silver B's in dif- ferent places. Abraham Lincoln's horses were described by his coachman as be- ing “a poor lot.” Andrew Jackgon bought his horses from those sold by the Army at the close of the Civil War. Grant was a great lover of horses. He had three which particularly appealed to him. They were named Cincinnati, Egypt and Jeff Davis. Hayes and Gar- field were not interested in horses. Chester A. Arthur kept showy teams and beautiful saddle horses, while Grover Cleveland owned a team of seal browns, Harrison and McKinley were content with the smart carriage and teams provided by the Government. Roosevelt was one of the Presidents who loved horses, He may be classed with Washington, Jackson and Taylor. He smashed all records by riding fiom | ‘Washington to Warrenton, Va., and re- turn, a distance of 90 miles, in 17 hours. i ‘Taft’s rides were infrequent, and Wil- | son was in the saddle only a few times. | Harding went riding once in Washing- | ton and on another occasion while vis- | iting in the mountains near Hagers- | town. Coolidge rode only once while in ‘Washington. Across Missouri avenue from Census Bureau are several blocks of houses.
