MARSHALL, definite vogue for the light-weight pull- on sweater, An excellent plan for your late Summer and Autumn wardrobe is to get a simple two-piece suit and then to buy two sweaters—one of light, soft wool for wear on cooler days and one of cotton lisle to wear when the woolen sweater would be too warm. Some of the new sweaters are made with small, geometrical designs and some with modernistic lightning flashes down the frent. When one of these is chosen, the background should match the suit with which it is to be worn. This week's Help for the Home Dress- maker shows how to make an attractive collar from strips of ribbon stitched to- gethar or from washable silk or linen. 1t is a useful sort of thing to use to give a thoroughly up-to-date neck finish to & renovated dress.

Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. July 20, 1862.—Cars began running regularly this morning from the Cap- itol to the State Department on the Washington and Georgetown Passenger Railroad. the company has received—10 in num- { ber—were put in use during the day. | They have been crowded on each trip, {and on several occasions as many as 40 | persons were carried in one car. | The first car to run was crowded {almost to suffocation. Everything | went well until it reached the curve | near the Treasury Building. There it | was brought to a standstill, probably owing to the roughness of the rails at that point. An extra horse was sent for and harnessed to the car and the difficulty was soon overcome. Passengers going to and from Georgetown pay 6 cents and are trans- | ferred at the State Department to or | from omnibusses. |~ The company has made some 40 or | 50 appointments of employes, about half of whom were at work today. Others will go on duty as the rail- road is extended. J. H. Upperman is the timekeeper at the Capitol. He has held that place for the omnibus line for the last 15 years. The track is laid as far as the | Circle, and it is expected that cars will be run to that point next week. The cars used today are handsome and commodious, In the smoothness with which they glide along the tracks they afford an agreeable change from the rough jolting over the pavements experienced in other modes of ve- hicular transportation. | Michael Mack has been arrested on | complaint of Mrs. Mary Connell, who | charged him with using treasonable | language and assisting Union soldiers |to desert by furnishing them with | eivilian clothing, and also with falsely and maliciously swearing before the | provost guard fo sales of liquor to sol- diers. After hearing several witnesses, Justice Clayton postponed decision on the false swearing charge and ordered Mack into custody of the provost guard for examination on the charge of as- | sisting soldiers to desert. Fourth ward patrolmen have discov- ered several lots of Government prop- erty in Swampoodle believed to have been stolen from intoxicated soldiers.

Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. Dutch curtains will never lose their place in the realm of good taste, espe- clally for the informally furnished home, or in the informal rooms of a more austere home. Kitchens and breakfast rooms in the latter type of house are enhanced by this type of curtain, and for the dining room of an informal home these curtains assure a charming effect. Only the simplest of materials should be used for such curtains; embroidered or printed voile, organdie or marqui- sette lend themselves to windows dressed in this manner. They have two outstanding features: One is that more sunlight is admitted than through an ordinary glass cur- tain and another is that no overdrap- :lx;lss are required in combination with em. The finish of the curtain may be braid, binding or plain hems, but they ! are most attractive when trimmed with narrow frills, regardless of the mi terfal for the body of the curtain. Or. gandy is the most satisfactory fabric for the frills, as it always stands out smartly. Baked Green Corn. Husk twelve ears of green corn, re- move the silk, with a sharp knife cut a thin slice from the kernels and with a dull knife scrape down the ears. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour, half a teaspoon- ful of salt, one teaspoonful of sugar and combine with the corn and two cupfuls of scalded milk. Add two beaten eggs at last. Pour into a buttered baking dish and bake in a moderate oven for thirty minut W/ 7t 4 FAMOUS HATE Andrew Jackson Sorry Until th and C BY J. P. GLASS.

Calhoun, After word came to had cast the basest reflections on him during debate in the Senate, Jackson thed: “Oh, that I had off these robes of officel” 3 From the White House, Jackson sent a scathing note to Calhoun for asper- sions the South Carolinian had made in a Senate speech. Calhoun’s reply was 10 have the note read in open session. “This excites only my pity and con- tempt,” he said. Jackson raged futilely. “What is to be done with such a cur, anyhow?” he asked, “I am helpless. WHAT s A CUR, ANYHO\V? ( I AM .\ APRESIDENT CAN- NOT & CHASTISE B\ A \— A President cannot chastise a Senator.” Jackson had never any use for Clay ter the presidential campaign of 1824. “Old" Hickory” and John Quincy Adams led the voting and Jackson would have taken office if the Clay States of Ken- tucky, Ohio and Missourl had not switched to Adams. Clay was charged, perhaps unjustly, with throwing their votes to Adams in exchange for ap- pointment as Secretary of State. Jack- Straight Talks to W BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Thrifty Children. You may have read the story about the Rockefeller children. It seems they longed for a boat of their own. Some playmates, knowing something about the enormous wealth of the former's parents, demanded of the children: “Why don't you get a boat?” ‘The young Rockefellers were some- what aghast at the proposal and ex- claimed: “Who do you think we are, the Vanderbilts?" ‘The story is told to disclose the fact that the children's parents have deemed it best not to inform them of their potential wealth. Children cannot be taught thrift when they are also taught they will have plenty to spend one day, and to waste, if they like. Thrift is found in a child when that child must make pennies do prodigal tasks, and when the modest allowance is the limit of his resources. The idle spendthrift of today is not| always the child of the wealthy. He is often the child of folk who have not had money long enough to teach its use to their children. There are extremes in both direction. ‘There are parents who overdo the thrift motif by denying their children the comforts and social advantages that should be theirs. There are others who pamper their children until they are spoiled for life. ‘There is a mean which the intelli- gent parent recognizes. It is that of providing modest sums for spending for children so that they may practice thrift, and value money properly, It includes accustoming chil- unish | assailed as a criminal. SHINGTON, D.

Calhoun incurred Jackson’s enmity during the celebrated Peggy Eaton affair, Wives of cabinet officers refused to recognize Peggy Eaton, wife of Secre- tary of War Eaton, and the daughter of & Washington boarding-house keeper. Among these was Mrs. John C. Calhoun, wife of the then Vice President. Presi- dent Jackson, standing by Mrs. ‘Eaton, tried to get Calhoun to change h's wife's attitude. Calhoun did nothing, causing a resentment that grew into positive dislike. Jackson's niece by marriage, Mrs. ?p; T0 suc} D& L. 1570 BE DON HELPLESS = SENATOR Emily Donelson, filled the post of mis- tress of the White House. She ignored Mrs. Eaton and was promptly banished by Jackson, Mrs. Eaton thereafter filling her place. In the famous United States Bank fight, Clay and Calhoun joined forces to beat Jackson, even helping to bring on a commercial and industrial panic to gain their ends. But the panic did not last long and Jackson was triumphant. (Copyright, 1929.) omen About Money| | dren to the type of life and standard| 10f living they will one day enjoy.

I call my wife and nieces four, and say, “We'll jog 12 versts or more, far from the city's strife and woe, and see what nature has to show.” I look before me and I see a sign announcing Jimpson's tea, composed of herbs and barks and roots, a healing dope for sick galoots. The sign is 98 feet long, and it is high and deep and strong. look around and to the right I see a sign afl painted white informing me that Jagsmith's tires are what the motorist desires. The rubber in them is the best, the cords respond to every test; why be a chump, why go it blind, and pay good coin for t'other kind? My wife remarks, “I thought we’d see some Jambkins gambol on the lea; I figured that we might be- hold the shady glen, the sunlit wold, but there is nothing here but signs, and they send fantods down our spines.” Then to the left I sadly turn, and from a massive sign I learn that Dingbat's soap will make one's face seem beauty's last abiding place. It puts the bloom of childhood there, and it is good for falling hair, and it drives blackheads off the map, and is a blessing and a snap. “When we set forth,” my nieces sigh, ‘we thought some beauties we'd descry; we thought we would behold the hilis, the stately woods, the babbling rills, but © | ! ° vain and foolish was the hope; we see | big signboards boosting soap, so let's go home where we may view our alley and a street or two.'

MILADY BEAUTIFUL Middle-Aged Neck. The other evening at a restaurant I was noticing the backs of women's necks. As they sat studying the menu or partaking of dinner, their necks tilted forward so that the line from the base of the skull down the spine was clearly indicated. The middle-aged or stout women had a characteristic silhouette. From the back view their necks seemed to be lost. A pad of flesh right above the shoulders swelled up almost to the hair-line ending in a deep crease which was accentuated in most cases by a bead necklace. On the backs of the longer necks were two lumps and two creases about an inch apart, which showed where the neck had been before it was submerged in excess fat. “This,” thought I, “is the typical middle-aged neck. What is its cause and how can it be cured” will not make it look slender, but has quite the opposite effect. Correct pos- ture, of course, will give better lines to any neck, but when a large deposit of fat has been allowed to accumulate in the region of the seventh cervical ver- tebra it is difficult to hold the head up: the attempt it tiring and is usually abandoned before the habit of good posture can be formed. Regular exercise and deep massage will gradually break up the lump of fat on the back of the neck so that correct ture, which is essential to a grace- ful neck, will become easy and natural. The treatments may be taken at any time of day when one has a little spare time. Oniy five minutes twice a day should be given to the exercise and massage durine the first week or so, because the muscles will become sore if they are used too much to begin with. Gradually, week by week, the number of repetitions of the different move- AOLLYWOOD, Calif, July 29.

Evi- dently the effect was working out to their satisfaction. This takes the place in specially built barns, termed ‘“sound stages.” The walls are padded with felt to catch the sound and hold it. The floors are padded with sawdust and sand between the layers of boarding. Outside stands a policeman to insure the privacy of the director and his staff. Only writers of standing are admitted.
