How can I correct these troubles? (2) T am 15 years old, 5 feet 57, inches tall and weigh 122 Eoundl. Is this correct? (3) T have dark brown hair, blue-gray eyes and an olive complexion. What colors are becoming to my type? CATHARINE R. Answer—(1) One steaming treatment will do little good. What counts is reg- ular dally care of the skin. Every night at bedtime wash your face with mild soap and warm water for 10 minufes. TUse a complexion brush. Lather and rinse several times. Be sure to rinse off 81l the sosp.

Next morn- ing bathe the face in warm boric acld solution and press out the larger black- heads with a comedo extractor. Bathe again in fresh antiseptic lotion and allow the skin to dry. The above treat- ment is good for an average or coarse skin, but may be too drastic for a dry, sensitive skin. If your skin is tender give the treatment every other day in- stead of dally. Whenever you wash vour face be sure to have a cold rinse last. The whiteheads are due to slug- gishness of the skin. The treatment outlined for the blackheads will also help banish these blemishes by stimu- A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT ‘When L'Enfant set aside this piece of ground in his plans for the National Gapital it probably never nccurred to him that it would become a school of diplomacy.

Canning and preserving is a term often used to indicate the entire field of fruit and vegetable preservation in bottles, cans, jars. glasses, crocks, etc. When the housewife said s> had “put up” so many baskets of fruit she used a sort. of blanket term that might mean she had made jams, jellies, preserves, pickles or conserves. Such terms as preserves. jams, etc.. were and still are used rather loosely. What precisely is the difference be- tween canned peaches and preserved peaches, between grape jam and grape marmalade, between apple butter and apple jelly? Canning 18 now used as a general term to indicate all sorts of fruit and vegetable preserving—anything “put up” in jars, bottles, glasses, or even crocks. Preserves are, as the term is usually . used, made by canning whole pieces of fruit in sugar sirup. Some people speak of all canned whole peaches as preserved peaches, while others would use the term preserve only when the sirup was quite rich. ‘The terms jam and marmalade have about the same meaning, only as a usual thing marmalade is used with reference to oranges, grapefruit, pine- apple, while jam is used in connection vi}t‘h raspberries, strawberries and | other Canning Has Many Uses Iating the skin.

Darkening Blond Hsir. Dear Miss Leeds: I have been told that a harmless rinse for blonde hat- may be made of 10 cents’ worth of camomile flowers boiled in a pint of water. Is this as harmful as per- oxide? My halr was a light brown or golden color, but has been dark- ening rapidly in the last few years. It is very dry and frequent shampoo- ing seems to make it worse. Scalp massage seems to make it look move | glossy and live. Are the commercial 1 | blonde shampoos harmful? | VANITY FAIR. | Answer — The camomile rinse is ! harmless but slow in its action. It 1s| not. as drastic as peroxide. The trou- | Ible with any sort of blonde shampoo “nr rinse is that it bleaches the haic all over so that in time the ends be- | come overbleached and the whole ef- fect is streaky. The secret of light- | ening the hair without harming it i ‘Ls. bleach the new hair as it grows |in at the roots but do not go over |the ends that have already been bleached. If you decide to bleach your hair, use a blonde shampoo once only and after that have the new hairs touched up with peroxide as they grow in dark. The commercial rinses and bleaching shampoos de- pend on peroxide for their action. Be- fore your shampoo give vour hair and scalp an oil treatment. Apply olive oil, leaving it on at least one hour be- fore you wash your hair. Massage the |scalp ten minutes a day and brusa your hair daily. LOIS LEEDS, (Copyright, 1929.) | C.

August 1, 1863.—All the men, wagons, horses and goods taken by Col. Mosby in his raid on Fairfax Court House, Va., have been recaptured by the 2d Massa- chusctts Cavalry, according to infor- mation received today at Army head- quarters here. While no particulars are given, it is assumed that a skirmish took place and that Mosby is now in retreat, probably pursued by the Union Cavalry. J. H. Cockrill and F. Dove, who were arrested by Capt. Perry at Fairfax Court House, were committed to the Old Cap- ito} Prison today. Cockrill is believed to be a spy In the service of Mosby. | He is known to have made the boast not long ago that he had been in Wash- ington and had drunk at one of the local hotels. Dove is known to have been in the Confederate service. Ellas Edmonds, jr., of the 17th Vir- ginia Cavalry, and John Horan of the 1st Alabama Infantry, sent here as prisoners from the Army of the Poto- mae, will be closely confined for the remainder of the war. On being ques- tioned they told conflicting stories, and it is suspected that they are Confed- erate spies. George Ashton and Robert Kendall, with their wives and one child, were brought here today as prisoners. They were captured by the Potomac River flotilla, and are believed to be spies or be in handling contraband goods. By order of the provost marshal, they were confined in the Old Capitol Prison. Both Ashton gnd Kendall are known to have been in‘the Confederate service. Two colored men—Abe Brooks and William Hardman—were arrested at the same time while guarding con- traband property. and they, too, have been sent to prison. It was announced today that a Cav- alry bureau has been established in connection with the War Department. It will have charge of the organization and equipment of the Cavalry forces of the -Army and of the provisions for riounts and remounts. The purchase of all horses by the quartermaster for Cavalry service and all depots for the reception and discipline of recruits and new regiments of Cavalry will be under the new bureau. By the establishment of the Cavalry bureau the War Department intends to correct neglect and unnecessary ex- pense in the Cavalry service. All Cav- alry officers hereafter will be carefully watched, and those who are inatten- tive to their duties or inefficient will be dismissed from the service.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., August 1.—The | | most. poignant touch in village Iife is| Hollywood's regret at changed conditions | |in the colony. Studios where famous stars once reigned in almost legendary splendor and with tyrannical power now have the names of equally famous but far different types of histr: :ists on their doors. Richard Arlen shed tears last night in a speech in which he deplored the passing of the silent film and the regu- lation motion picture actor. Something grim and inestapable is in the air—the | psychology of change, so terrible when |it means the passing of accustomed | things, yet so welcome when one realizes that without it there is no progress. One of the last of the silent pictures to be previewed in Hollywood brought out a small representation of the fa- mous of the colony. The picture was watched gravely and without noticeable demonstration from the audience—this despite the fact that animals made up a large portion of the interest of the film, and as actors animals never fail. Greta Garbo's struggle with the Eng- {1ish idiom has delayed the shooting of “Anna Christle.” Greta will make, | meanwhile, one more silent film.| Jacques Feyder, famous Continental di- rector, will megaphone it, and it is a story of intrigue of Old World type. This proceeding is less a risk with Garbo than with other artists of the silent era.

Sometimes you are so occupied in thinking that you know nothing about your surroundings, except the one thing which for the moment engages your at- tention. I say for the raoment, be- cause all experiments show that these periods of extremer mental occupation do not last more than one or two min- utes. It is impossible to keep the at- tention focused on one single object | for & longer time. These periods of rapt attention, of absorbed thought, are, of course, rare. In all probability there are a good many people in the world who have"never experienced this | degree of Simon-pure thinking. Such thinking is hard work. | The average good thinking that goes | on in the world of mental occupation | belongs to another class. You will find that when you are doing yosr hardest | thinking, it is still possible for you | to yield to interruptions. Some one | may speak to you, and while you do not | answer him at once you will do so in | & moment. The fact that you may ask | for a repetition of the interrupting ques- | tion or remark only shows that you | held 1t vaguely somewhere in the fringe of consciousness. i Still more common is a third sort | of thinking, less pointed and less ef- ficient. The attention fluctuates readily | and rapidly. Any sort of interruption is sufficient to turn the mind from what it is on to what is about to be a new temporary focus. The emotions and general feel! seem to facili- tate this tendency to fluctuate. That's why it is hard to keep your mind on serious matters when you are angry or | when you are happy or when you have the toothache. A fourth degree is still less efficient, but perhaps not quite so flighty. In this kind of thinking, the emotions dominate the trend of mental occupa- tion. Ordinary day-dreaming i a good example. Your wishes run riot and carry you along with them. Finally, there is a fifth degree which is almost altogether unconscious. Wishes and fears struggle for the command of your thought activities. Some of their strivings are just strong enough to awaken you. Most of them remain as | vague memories, to be entirely lost within & few hours after awakening. | You call this thinking your dreams. | i | | (Copyright, 1929.)
