WOMAN'S PAGE. Snapshots Made for Holiday Use BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. '+ Among the various things that ean lend individuality to Christmas gifts are pictures.

Afterwards diplomacy must come to your ald should the friends ask to see them—the pictures can be put in some out-of-the-way place, hard to get at quickly, for example. If the pictures have been seen the element of surprise that forms a large part of the pleasure at Christmas time is lacking. The reason why vacation time is recommended as particularly good for taking gift snapshots is that the photo- graphs taken while away will have the | benefit of novelty to those living in the home town, or be happy reminders of cccasions enjoyed together during the outing for those old or new friends who were with you at the time. Some of the ways in which the pic- tures taken by yourself or bought for the purpose can be utilized for gifts are familiar, such as using them as “‘paste-ons” for calendars and blotters. It is a fashion to use photographs of the doorway to one’s Summer cottage or Winter residence as individual Christmas cards. These can be printed in sepia on a light brown card, or dark grey, green, blue, etc, on self-toned cards of lighter hue than the ink. Any glimpse of one's garden or interior views can be effectively so used. Some words of greeting should be printed on the tards. A rather unusual way to make use of snapshots is 10 ornament boxes as in by-gone days. A cigar box can be used, or plain box or art embroidery stores and depart- ments. The box should be stained or paintad first, and then a picture be glued to the top and edged with the narrowest of narrow molding previously stained or painted to match the box. gone over with varnish. Eggshell var- More ornate boxes have pictures on three side portions as well as on the top. Gilt paper binding can be used in place of the wooden molding to sur- round the pictures as in a f) It the box is lined with satin, a fancy textile gimp is often glued about the pictures. This should have some tone matching or closely harmonizing with the shade of the lining interwoven with the gold or other metallic strands of found in fancy work|. “When a fella brags about what he can do, I can’t help thinking that the flat tires make the most noise.” (Copyright, 1929.)

CRAIG. August 14, 1863.—The several rallroad companies whose tracks constitute the line between Washington and New York, now temporarily represented here by their agents, are busily engaged in carrying out their promises made last Winter for the construction of a double track along the entire route. The double track between Trenton and New York will soon be completed and a large force is now at work be- tween Trenton and Philadelphia, it was learned here today. From Philadelphia southward the double track is complete part of the way. to Baltimore. The approximately 40 miles between Baltimore and Wash- ington will be speedily finished. Work is also progressing upon the bridge across the Susquehanna River. There is every prospect that trains will soon be running on a double-track line between the National Capital and New York, and passengers will no longer have to change cars anywhere. The various railroad companies have ordered 30 new and up-to-date cars for this service. ‘The reports in circulation that a second draft has been ordered for the District of Columbia were declared to be untrue today by the authorities, who sald that no new draft is in contempla- tion here at this time. The Board of Enrollment considers, from the experi- ence of the last few days, that it is doing very well in obtaining men for the Union Army, especially in the way of substitutes. | . It is not believed from present indica- | tions that the number of men who will be exempted here on account of dis- | abllity, erroneous enrollment, or fof other causes, will exceed the 50 per cent which was added to the quota.

'HIS is & modern version of the old proverb that truth is to be found at the bottom of a well. Just & bare 6 miles from Washington, on the outskirts of the little town of Hyattsville, Md, stands a laboratory now long unused. In the middle of this laboratory is a well—some 50 feet deep and lined with copper. Scarcely a half-dozen steps away is the home of its owner—Dr. James Harris Rogers, now more than 80 years aid, but still erect, energetic and in- tensely interested in everything around him. It was here that one of the most vital factors in the winning of the World War was conceived and brought to its frui- tion. The vital factor ¥ . ‘\3 is underground and /N sub-sea radio com- munication. More \;\'/ simply stated, Dr. “ - _Rogers proved con- >. clusively that . water, as well as earth and air, is & medium for the transmission of elec- tro-magnetic waves. And he found this truth at the bottom of his well. ‘There was & beaten track to his re- mote little station in the woods of Mary- land during the days of the World War. Men high in the aflairs of state came nightly to stand over his well and listen to German official reports of the battles on the various fronts, of the exploits of the German cruisers and of the activity of the various German submarines in the expeditions of destruction. The greatest secrecy surrounded his laboratory. No matter how high in position, no visitor was permitted to come in uniform. ‘They arrived and acted as friends of the family. No out- sider knew what was taking place over the well. There was not even a secret-service guard around the laboratory. Every ef- fort was made to avid suspicion. ‘Throughout the conflict the United States was enabled to carry on uninter- rupted communications with the allied governments, with submarines when submerged, and with battleships, air- planes, etc. Dr. Rogers’ laboratoyy is still an in- triguing place. It is filled with instru- ments with which he worked until fail- ing health forced him to quit. On the shelves circling the walls and on the long tables in the center of the room lrz‘ many evidences of this modern ma- ician. £ He has more than 60 inventions to his credit which have won for him the respect of all scientists.

Today he is one of this country’s stanchest friends, and is known in Washington as outspoken in his desire to strengthen the commer- cial bonds between his native land gnd the United States. A powerful figure in the political councils of his own country, during the six years he has been resident commis- sioner of the Philippines much of the prestige gained for the islands while Manuel Quezon was “Gentleman of the Philippines” has been extended. Guevara has the combined qualities of the soldier, the statesman and the journalist. He had just been graduated from u university in Manila—paying his way by serving as a house boy—when the revolution of the Filipinos against Spain_ was in progress. He enlisted, served with his countrymen, and In 1897 played a prominent part in pro- moting peace. 2 ‘Thinking that peace would be last- ing, he turned to the practice of law. But the revolution flared again and once more he joined the Filipino colors.

He was one of those most active in bringing about peace and to this end held innumeral conferences with Gen. Summers and Gen. McArthur. With the end of war he entered the fleld of journalism, serving as editor, city editor and special correspondent in turn of various papers on the islands. At present he is special Washington %oar;.e:pondent of the newspaper EI e. It was but natural that he turn to the fleld of politics.

If not, don’t try to acquire the habit, for you are quite well off without it. But if your lips are too pale, or if they need an occasional touch of color for certain costumes, then you must learn how to use lipstick. irst of all, use one ‘without much color. Lips are never a deep red, or an orange color shade. They are various shades of rose red. If you use lipstick it must match the rouge you use on your cheeks, for obviously you could not have yellow-red lips and blue-red checks.. It is safest, there- fore, to stick to rose red for all your make-up, or the very soft, very be- coming geranium red. With “rose or . geranium red as a basic color you need only worry about the variations of shade. The paler your skin and the lighter your hair, the paler, naturally, your rouge and lipstick will be. If youre an ash blonde the color you put on your face will be a faint blush pink. If you're brunette a more vivid rose pink. The lips always require less touching up than you think. One trick that you will have to learn with any of successful make-up is that the larger your mouth the more color you can put on it, and the more heavily you can make it up. It is only the small mouth that looks badly with a lot of_color. No one any more attempts to con- ceal the fact that she uses make up. We no longer imitate nature and try to pretend that eyelashes are as long as they seem, or mouths as richly red as they appear. We make up for an Abe Ma&in Says: 1t Bootleggér.
