'WOMAN’S PAGE. Bags Suitable for Staterooms BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER Jl\\\\\\\\\\\\\@\\\\\\Q% o B VAN RN E- o A = ) IT IS A GREAT CONVENIENCE TO HAVE SUCH A BAG HUNG IN ONE'S STATEROOM ON SHIPBOARD. Gifts for the traveler are in demand at this season, and purse and prefer- ence do not always accord. If the traveler is a woman, the gift to be made at home is not as much of a problem as in the case of a man. One that is sure to meet with favor is a stateroom bag, for train or boat, equipped with a handle and compart- ments having enough space for the toilette necessities. ‘The most practical bag of this sort is made of rubberized cloth. In case of toothbrush, face cloth or recently washed and partially dried wearing ap- parel this will accommodate them with- out likelihood of harm to other things. An ample bag is from 12 to 18 inches in length, something less than that in width, and is made commodious by having a strip of goods several inches ‘wide between the front and back of the container. This is bound at the edges with a decorative braid. The back of the bag is made with a flap like an envelope which folds over the front. BY HERBERT 'HE venerable United States Senator from North Carolina, Lee Slater Overman, wants it known that while daylight-saving time probably is & good thing it works & hardship on him, never- ‘theless. He has lost one hour of sleep every morning since April 29. For a long time Senator Overman has arisen in time to take his dally dozen by radio. He is 75 years old, but he allows nothing to interfere with his morning exercise. Institution of daylight-saving ‘time forced him out an hour earlier, because Washing- ton uses standard time and the radio went to daylight At first it ‘was rather difficult, does admit, how- ever, that he will welcome return to the regular sched- ule of hours next Fall. e wenator Overman is one of the most remarxable men on Capitol Hill. He has been in the Senate 26 years, 1s the second ranking Democrat of that body and fourth among both parties in point of service. He holds three of the ‘most important of committee posts, being the ranking Democrat on the Senate Jjudiclary, appropriations and rules com- mittees. He is easily spotted on the floor of the Senate from the galleries. In fact, he has been described as looking more like a United States Senator than any of his colleagues. He possesses every physical characteristic that one expects to see in a Senator. No one works harder or keeps more regular office hours than Senator Over- man. He is at his desk every morning by 9:15 when Congress is in session and he doesn’t go home until late in the afternoon. He always can be found either at his office or on the floor of the Senate. If the Senator is not engaged in read- ing some Senate report or poring over the pages of some public document, he is enjoying a mystery story or mnovel. Anything of this nature appeals to him tremendously. He is also an ardent radio fan. Hei not only tunes in on the setting-up exercises at 6:45 in the morning but also on the evening programs. Motoring is the only outdoor amuse- ment_that interests him. He does not care for sports in any form and, despite the fact that Mrs. Overman is one of the most enthusiastic of anglers, she never has been able to arouse much interest along this line in the Senator. During the war Senator Overman was one of President Wilson’s right-hand men. It fell to him to aid the Presi- dent get his wartime measures through Congress. ‘That his services to Wilson were invaluable to the Chief Executive is evidenced by this letter from the Presi- d “It is admirable the way you have been handling these important bills and I thank you with all my heart for standing by the bill which bears your name without any compromise of any kind. You are a splendid fighter.” It remains to be seen whether Presi- 1In order that the stitching or glueing of the compartments may not show through to the right side, these are attached to a lining which is made in the same proportions as the bag and bound to it at the upper edges. The reason for its being free at the lower edge is that it may be turned inside out and dried. A length of whalebone is secured to the lining near the top. It is merely a strip long enough to put over a hook or nail and permit the opened bag to hang below it. To make the gift particularly welcome to the feminine traveler, & good quality of hand soap is tucked into a colorful washcloth. A few squares of cloth or tissue for removing cold cream from the face are a welcome addition, espe- clally if train or motor travel is in- volved, and if a miniature “clothesline” and some of the diminutive clothespins obtainable in novelty stores are also included, the recipient may count her- self fortunate.

Some 850 dele- gates to the American Red Cross con- vention in Washington declined the President’s offer to shake hands because they wished to avert the fatigue he would feel. Mr. Hoover made it known he was willing to greet each delegate a the White House. As a “patriotic body,’ however, the Red Cross refused. Others may take the tip, More than likely they will not. ‘The privilege of shaking hands with the President of the United States al- ways will be attractive. Mr. Hoover lets it be known that the handshaking line is irksome to him. ‘Word went out just recently from the White House to members of the House and Senate that they must be more con- siderate in sending their constituents to the Executive Mansion. In one day the President had greeted 1,775 persons and grasped their hands. ‘The muscles of his hand became so sore that he was able to write only with great difficulty for some time afterward. He felt also that the handshaki had been a considerable strain on him. Senators and Representatives were re- quested to limit themselves to 10 con- stituents at each of the semi-weekly re- ceptions. President Harding revived this prac- tice after it had lapsed for several years. President Coolidge continued shaking hands with delegations of visitors at the conclusion of each morning’s business. Mr. Hoover followed suit, but he very quickly abolished the daily public recep- tions and now receives only on Monday and Wednesday. He has intimated that in the near future the number will be reduced to only one a week. Visitors include every one from tour- ists, armed with a letter of introduction from their Representative, to whole con- ventions. They file by the President at the rate of 40 to 50 2 minute. Chief Executives have been urged re- peatedly to abolish this public hand- shaking, on the ground that it imposes an additional strain. The last three oc- cupants of the White House, however, have refused to listen to such pleas. Senator Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas, and Senator Watson, Re- publican, of Indiana, met in a corridor at the Capitol the other day and started Joshing each other. “You know, Jim,” said Senator Cara- way, “I went out into Indiana during the campaign for one purpose: to read a speech of yours in which you said Hoover was an Englishman.” “And did they cheer?” Watson de- manded. hey laughed,” Caraway said. ‘And then they went right ahead and voted for Hoover,” Watson flung back as a parting shot.

AMC_XQUE QBUQGIET THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTORN, D. C, MONDAY, MAY 20, 1929.° Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. May 20, 1859.—Mr. B. B. Botts, esq., of Richmond, Va., has been in Washing- ton this week. The dead silence of the Richmond newspapers since the publi- cation of his card, in reply to that of Mr. O. Jennings Wise, attacking Mr. Botts' father relative to the difficulty between those gentlemen, has led to an impression here that Mr. Botts and Mr. Wise are quietly arranging for a u’:‘ll’;e Knights Templar of De Molay and St. John’s Encampment of Boston and Providence arrived in Washington today by Southern boat, on their way home from Richmond, and have taken up their quarters in the National Hotel. They were met on their arrival by Washington Commandery and escorted o their lodgings. . A vol\xnlger delegation of the Potta- wottamies of the Prairies, an Indian tribe, living about 46 miles northwest of Milwaukee, in Wisconsin, is visiting in Washington. The delegation in- cludes Wahpahkay, the chief, a vener- able man of 75 years; his two sons, Onkoth, aged 31, and Shawanikee, aged 26, and Joseph uwne.ta half-breed, acting as interpreter. w}%‘e‘y ave been received at the In- dian Office by Commissioner Green- wood, to whom the chief delivered the following address: “T came, father, to see about promises made to me by my great friend, Gen. Scott, in Wisconsin in the time of the Sac and Fox War. He said when he met me that he was very glad to benefit by my services, and that in consequence of the part we took we should have room and air enough to breathe and should not be crowded by the white folks that surrounded us.” Replying to questions, the chief said his tribe had no treaty with the United States since 1835; that thetribe num- bered about 40 souls; that they had no annuities, and that he referred to a treaty made by their “old friend, Solo- mgn Junear.” qA(ter various other interrogatories, Commissioner Greenwood informed the delegation that he would detail one of the clerks to wait upon Mr. Whiting of the Pension Office to examine the list of claimants for bounty lands for mili- tary services, with a view of identify- ing the old chief as one of them, if possible, and that when he had satisfied himself on that point he would send again for the delegation.

How to Live Happily at Home Dearest Should Be |DorothyDix| Fact That Family Constitutes Draws Up Constitution Jor the Household Nearest and Reason for Letting Them Live Their Lives in Peace. Hm are 10 commandments that, faithfully followed, will assure you a happy and a peaceful home: First. Thou shalt not nag. There is hardly any criticism or suggestion that you cannot make once to your wife or your husband or your children without giving offense. It is the constant reiteration of the same thing over and over and over again, the con- tinual harping on the same little fauit, the never-ending “do this"—"don't do that,” the bringing up of the same disagreeable topic for the millionth time that wears away patience as the incessant dropping of water wears away a stone. Say what you have to say once, and forever after hold your peace on the subject. Second. Thou shalt not pry into the personal affairs of thy family. Never forget that your husband, or yous wife and the children have the same passionate desire for a little personal liberty that you have and that they resent just as bitterly as you do having some one snooping around, some one listening in on the telephone when they talk, opening their letters and reading them first, going through the pockets of their clothes and keeping tab on their every movement, £0 that they can’t go around to the corner drug store without furnishing an alibi for every minute of the time they are out from under surveillance, Cut out the questionnaire about where you have been, and where you are going, and whom did you see, and what did they say, and what did you say, and why did you say it, etc. Don’t put every member of the family through the third degree every time he or she moves. It gets you nowhere, anyway, because your victim will tell you what he or she wants you to know anyway and lie about the balance. Family prying drives more young people away from home than all other causes combined. e .. HIRD. Thou shalt not give unsolicited advice. Be not one of those family pests who never can see anybody doing anything without bobbing up with a lot of suggestions. Neither be one of those husbands who censor wife's clothes and driver wives. Be not one of those back-seat her haircut, and her rouge pot, and who want to know why she doesn't dress as they did in the Theodore Roosevelt administration. Neither be one of those parents who think that their children never get over being 3 years old and feeble- minded at that, and that they have to be told as long as they live. Undoubtedly you are an oracle and wisdom will perish with you, but for all of that grown-up people feel that they have a right to run their own lives in their own way without being snowed under with advice from mother and father. Fourth. Thou shalt not argue. No man and woman of even average intelligence can be married for two months without finding out points of disagreement and that there are certain topics which it is like waving a red flag at a mad bull even to mention. Having ascertained the pet prejudices of the partner of your bosom, skirt as warily around them as you would around the brink of a dangerous precipice. If husband says the moon is made of green cheese, don't dispute it and bring on a fight by displaying your superior scientific knowledge. It wife says something happened at 4 o'clock that you know happened at 6, let the statement g0 unquestioned. Nobody is ever convinced by an argument. Its only effect is to settle them more deeply in their conviction and to bring on a family row that disrupts the peace of the home and leaves everybody sore and bitter. e w . IFTH. Thou shalt not tell home truths. Do not think because you love your family it gives you the right to say to them things that their deadliest enemy would not dream of saying. You think they forgive you because of the relationship in which you stand to them, but it is precisely because our near relations know our weaknesses so well that they can always stab us in a vulnerable spot and so deal a wound that rankles and never heals, Besides, there is no one for whose good opinion we care so much as we do for that of our own and no one can hurt us as they can. Therefore, if you are a husband, never tell your wife that she is getting old and fat and frumpy and that she looks like a figu: saleratus biscuit with that jade hat on. re of fun in flapper clothes or that she resembles a And if you are a wife, bite your tongue off before you tell your husband that you consider him a false alarm as a business man and that he is the worst guesser at the stock market you ever saw or that he bores people stiff talking about his radio and how he tuned in on Havana and Squedunk. And if you are parents, don't keep your children’s deficiencies always before them and keep reminding little Johnny that he is awkward and dumb, and little Mary that she is stupid, and little Sally that she is homely, and little Bobby that he is naughty. You will hurt them and mortify them and make them self-conscious and self-deprecating and intensify the very faults of which you complain. Many a man and woman are failures in life just because their parents gave them an inferiority complex by telling them home truths when they were children, Therefore, if you want your home to be happy, use as much tact and diplomacy in What you say to your wives and husbands and_children as you would if you were negotiating a foreign treaty. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1929.) . ~ DIET AND HEALTH BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. D. “Spots” on the Lungs. “Will you kindly advise me if spots on the lungs can be permanently cured? Would gaining in weight be an indica- tion of an upward step? Since I know I have these spots, I dread the future, and although now there is but a slight cough, the dread of an awful cough, etc., is always on my mind, and it seems to me that death would be better in the beginning. I have always dreaded this disease, and always prayed that I be exempt from it, and now I have it. ‘Would you advise the mountains or the seashore for a vacation, and do you think a change in climate would benefit me? Is marriage impossible. " Certainly “spots” on the lungs can be cured, K. The fact of the matter is, probably all of us at some time have had these little infected spots and never have known about them, having had enough resistance so that nature has walled them off and in most instances killed the infection. You didn't say whether you had a diagnosis made of tuberculosis or not. If you have had, then you must have some symptoms— temperature, weakness, etc. The slight cough alone wouldn't be diagnostic of the disease, unless you raised a sputum which had the tuberculosis bacilli in it. It's a good thing to have a wholesome dread of any disease. When Job said “The thing I fear has come upon me” he started something. For he made a lot of uninformed people believe that fear alone could bring on a disease. That isn't true, only to the extent that if it is abnormal the anxiety causes a lack of sleep and appetite, and so lowers the resistance. As far as marriage is concerned, the authorities state it should not be en- tered into until the disease has been NEW WAY T0 (COOK VEGETABLES Four Famous Cooking Ex-~ perts Discover New Method Four well known cooking experts | recently conducted a unique food- tasting test in the kitchen of one of the experts in New York City. | Numerous vegetables were cooked. | 1.

He will advise you if you need a change of climate, Tuber- culosis can be cured in any climate, but, of course, a climate where one can be out of doors day and night is most favorable. Now, don’t worry, K. Tuberculosis is curable. Hundreds of thousands of people have had it and have been cured. But it means that you must co-operate with your physician and so regulate your life that nature can do the work. Mrs. L.—There are no lotions, or bath compositions, or soaps, or salves that will reduce any fat, in spots or gen- eralized. Massage, persistently applied over a long period of time, will help the fat spots. There are such things as tumors made of fat. These shouldn't be mas- saged, but removed surgically. Don't mind if your face does look thin while reducing, for it will plump up after you get back to your maintenance diet. If you have heart trouble, as you say, you should be under the care of a physician and he will direct your re- ducing. There’s no doubt he will ex- pect you to reduce, for a disabled heart has trouble enough without having to pump thropgh extra layers of fat and‘to contend with the effects of an unbal- anced diet otherwise.

Benjamin Harrison of Virginia observed that the Continental Congress must hang to- gether in defense of the Declaration of Independence. “Yes,” said the earliest great Amer- ican wit, “we must all hang together, or we shall hang separately.” Franklin called man “a tool-making animal” and took a humorous dig at “advanced” women. He wrote this couplet: “Is'% not enough, plagues, wars and famine rise To lash our crimes, but must our wives be wise?” Some of the Pennsylvania patriots desired the Committee of Safety to stop the Episcopal clergy from praying for the King. Franklin, who considered such action unnecessary, laughed it own. “The Episcopal clergy,” he said, “for 20 years have been praying that ‘God will give to the King and his council wisdom.” We all know that not the least notice has been taken of that prayer. It is plain the gentlemen have no interest in the court of Heaven.” As Deputy Postmaster General under Eneland he franked his letters, writing on their backs, “Free. B.
