Labor Day and Vacation Season BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER., Labor day is like a punctuation mark in the vacation season. It may sig- nify as complete a stop as does a pe- riod. For children attending public LABOR DAY OFTEN IS SPENT IN TRAVELING WHEN IT TERMI- NATES A VACATION. gchools, this holiday calls such a.halt. With few exceptions it brings their carefree vacationing to & full stop. For persons_working in stores and shops wWhere Baturdays are holidays or half holidays during the Jast two months of Summer, Labor day brings a cessation of such privileges, It is as definite a terminatoin demanding a full stop as is a period in print. Those whose vacation season is ot so sharply defined look upoh Labor day as_an enjoyable holiday, when practically all their friends are free from business and whey. household dutles are taken lightly. It permits of an extended week end for visiting or for entertaining house guests. It is a jolly day for those at home who can go away as a family, prob- day night or possibly until Tuesday morning. Rest_and relaxation can be induiged in. For the families who must be home from Summer resorts by Tuesday at the latest, Labor day is any- thing but & holiday. It is one full of hurry and often of fatigue, since the closing of ‘a cottage is a tiresome task. Many whose vacations end have to travel by train or boat on Labor day. ‘These persons find all conveyances filled to utmost capacity. Every traveler is en route by necessity, and not for pleasure. It is wise to look upon the Jjourneying in the light of a pleasure trip, however, for the mental attitude has much to do with enjoyment. After all, the vacations are not actually end- ed until home is reached, and home is a good spot to be back in, especially when it can be enjoyed with all the exuberance of health that the vaca- tioning days have brought.

WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. THE scholarship of the Herbert Hoov- ers has won recognition in its own right in one of the world's greatest libraries—the Library of Congress. In a glass case in the library's exhi- bition rooms there has been deposited & copy of “De Re Metallica,” written by Agricola in Lat- in and translated in 1912 by Herbert Hoover and Lou Henry “a labor of love.” It is in full view to | the thousands who | visit the library from all sections of the world. Library guides are authority for the statement that few visitors fail to in- spect the book. It| is one of the most popular of the many exhibitions of " rare housed there. President and Mrs. Hoover personally presented a copy of “De Re Metallica’ 1o the Library of Congress. The working copy of the volume translated by the Hoovers is in the li- brary’s section of rare editiol One desiring to inspect the vclume at close hand must take an elevator and ascend to level 37—at the top of | the building. Here he enters a steel wire inclosure escorted by an attendant. His name, home address, Washington 2ddress, and the field of research he is engaged in are entered in a large book. ok. Then he is presented a form on which must be filled out the name of the book, the reader’s home and local address, and field of rcsearch. The book i5 brought to a table. Before one is permitted to leave, the book must be returned to the desk, and a receipt is given the one who has handled the volume. The working copy of “De Re Metal- lica” contains 637 pages. Its size is 1815 by 14 inches and it is bound in ved. Footnotes in the text, inserted by President Hoover, are coplous. Often three-quarters of a page may be required. Excerpts from the preface of the translation are interesting: “We do not present ‘De Re Metallica’ as a work of ‘practical value’ . .. To those interested in the history of their |- own profession we need make no apolo- gies. except for the long delay in pub- lication . . . As the book could be but a labor of love, it has had to find the moments of its execution in night hours, week ends, and holidays, in all extend- ing over a period of five years . . .” At the time the Hoovers published the book it was thought that it would be of interest to no one outside the engi- neering profession. But neither was it thought at that time that Herbert Hoover some day would be President of the United States. With Hoover's election came a great demand for “De Re Metallica.” Those who probably never would look inside the book seriously wanted to have a copy, nevertheless. ¢ ‘Book dealers were swamped with or- ders. There was only a limited number of copies, for the book was privately published and originally intended as a gift to friends. Hoover as| literature | Quotations on the volume are re- ported as high as $120 a copy. One of the truest and most familiar expressions on Capitol Hill is, “No one walks out on Borah.” In the United States Senate, “walk- ing out” is a favorite sport. In fact, it seems at times that the minute a Senator rises to make a set speech it is the signal to most of his colleagues to_vacate the chamber. And they do. But “no one walks out on Borah.” Instead, the reverse is true. More peo- ple (Senators included) flock to the | Senate chamber when the Idaho Sen- |ator speaks than can be seated. They stand in lines outside the gallery doors far down the corridors. There is al- } ways the chance that some one on the inside either must leave to catch a [ train or return to his office. At any rate, hundreds think a break is worth | waiting for. And yet, it is rather strange how Borah packs the galleries. He never is funny. He looks with disdain on jokes or witty remarks to help drive home a point. He seldom is sarcastic, and if ever, only mildly so. He never tears a victim to pleces before the crowd. He never has been known to get per- sonal while speaking. He never is sensational. He frequently is called one of the best orators in the Senate, and he is. But his language just keeps on the prosaic side of eloguence. His voice is good—one of the best in the Senate —but it is not a voice like that of ‘William Jennings Bryan. He makes no fine phrases. He coins no epigrams. He has little passion. All of these—the things calculated to appeal to the masses—are lacking in Borah. And still they fight for a chance to hear him. Why? Simply _because Borah is Borah. Borah has mor- al earnestness, but he is one of the few who do not bore you with it. Borah never speaks unless he has something to # say, nor too long then. Borah is inform- ed on every sub- Jject as few are, and when he reads the riot act to his colleagues, as he 0 frequently does, all know that he is perfectly sure of the ground on which he_stands. Borah has a fine mind that has no contempt for lesser minds. He may disagree with you as wide as the poles, but he leaves you with the feeling that he understands and respects your po- sition and asks that you accord him the same understanding and respect. Borah is picturesque. His long hair and_strong face set him apart from all his colleagues. And, above all, Borah has courage— courage to stand alone in a fight, defy one and all, and stick unswervingly to the path he has mapped out for him- self until the bitter end. Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. @ift Horses. We believe the expression, “Never look & gift horse in the mouth.” Those unfamiliar with the equine breed may not be sure of what that means, It is, of course, an injunction to those ‘who wuulq examine gifts too closely to refrain ‘lest they be disappointed. For a long while we have doubted the wisdom of the maxim, however. It is better to look the gift horse in the mouth than to have him kick an inno- cent bystander or bite the hand of some one feeding him. 1In other words, look out lest that which is free is also costly. That goes for animals as well as inanimate things. A famous fancier of dogs once gave his experience with dogs given to him gratis, Invariably they were viclous, ill-tempered or sickly. "This §s no criticism of human nature, rather a reminder that we get little for nothl in this world. We know of a woman to whom & friend gave a motor car “because sheé had no further use for it.” Literally that was correct, but the giver omitted to say she had no further use for the car because a few cylinders were scored, springs broken and the uni versal was much the worse for wear and neglect. ‘That * “present’ quite a sum to tow in one repair. Having bought her plates and for her insurance, it would have cost the new owner as much to junk the ear as to mend it. Once upon & among sneak to some ‘passerby when they were chased by the police. As a result, more than one obliging soul found herself in a situation that was embarrassing if nothing worse. 7 Looking over life’s “vista we can think of few gifts that are seemingly presented without reason or cost that do not entail some expense unexpect- edly. “Some offers that begin $100 free if you buy at once usually reveal them- selves to be opportunities to pay $400 for a lot worth $100. Often books are offered free on the condition that one buy a set of some other books. A quick calculation re- veals that one is paying in full for both lots of books. It is said there are two kinds of people who fall eas] for bunco games. Those who expe something for mothing and those who expect to get rich quick. Look the gift horse in the mouth, literally and figuratively. This not mean one should inspect anniversary or Christmas gifts before accepting them! It does mean to avoid white elephants and sick pups. Coal From Ice Fields.

CRAIG. September 2, 1854.—Capt. A. H. Bow- man and Capt. B. S, Alexander of the United States Corps of Engineers and Willlam Wilson of this city, an experienced constructor, have united in @ report to the Secretary of War, giv- ing the estimated value of the Winder Buflding and grounds on Seventeenth street opposite the War Department as approximately $198,000. It will be re- called that Congress at the last ses- sion passed an act authorizing the Secretary of War to purchase this building, which is owned by W. M. inder, Esq., grnvlded the cost did not exceed $200,000. For several years the Government has been paying an annual rental of $21,000 for this building. Recently the Secre- tary of War selected Capts. Bowman and Alexander and Mr. Wilson as com= missioners to examine the building and report its value. Capt ported to be one of th Jjudicious and_ practical corps to which he is attached, and his brother officer is also rega as “ca- pable and discriminating” in the dis- charge of any duty assigned to him. ‘These gentiemen, under the authority vested in them, proceeded a few days ago to examine the Winder Building, the grounds and the appurtenances. The Union today describes their work as follows: “We learn that the examination was a most thorough one. They com- menced at the basement of the house, examined the walls and the floors, went into every room and even as- cended to the roof, each member of the commission taking notes as they proceeded. “After they had finished the investi~ gation they met in a room which had been assigned to them., Here it was proposed by one of them that an ad- journment should take place, in order that each one alone might make his calcve tions and report the next day, which was agreed to. “Upon reassembling the next day the respective estimates were presented, and, what is very remarkable, the difference in their estimates for the building and grounds did not amount to more than $1.500.” The intendant of the Washington Asylum reported today that there are 100 prisoneYs in the workhouse depart- ment, and there is little room for moke. Many persons who were confined there have been released upon payment of their fines by friends. A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. On the Job Day Unto Day. Text: “Day unto day uttereth speech.” —Psalms, xix.2. What if a single day falled to utter | its speech? There would be a blank in the year's record. Uncommon bril- ilance of speech by another day could not make up for this blank. It is as “day unto day uttereth speech” that the year's record is made. It is as! “day unto day uttereth speech” that time marches on to the conquest of the years and the centuries. Heifetz, the great Russian violinist, says that the hardest thing in an artist's life is not merely to play well, but to play always equally well. The only way to be able to do that, he says, is to keep playing every day and to play your best every day. ‘There is something to think about in what this Russian artist says. The man who makes good in a big way is not the man who does a single great plece of work. He is not the man who now and then startles us by a bril- liant stroke. He is not the man who works well today and sleeps on the job tomorrow. To make good in a big way one must keep working every day and learn to work always equally well. In other words, making in a big way means delivering the goods every ay. “Day unto day uttereth speech.” So is the year's record made. And &o is a man’s life record made. He can- not fritter away a single day, nor for a single day be slack on his job, without leaving a blank in the record impossible to be filled. Rounding out'a full and successful life means being on the job day unto day.

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES DON QUIXOTE AND THE LIONS BY CER 547-1616, was & Spanish novel- i med_for his “Adventures of Don_'Quixote.” Don Quixote—{rom whose name comes the English word “quixotic”— fancied he was a knight-errant, i when knights were of the pa. about seeking brave adventures, ludicrous instead.) Don Quixote, riding about the country on his horse Rosinante, in his fantas- tic suit of armor, in quest of knightly adventures, suddenly perceived a wagon on the road, set around with little flags, that appeared to be the King's colors, and believing it to be some new adventure, he called out to Sancho, his squire, to bring him his helmet. Having put on his helmet, the knight- errant fixed himself in the stirrups, tried whether his sword was loose enough in its scabbard and rested his lance. * “Now,” cried he, “come what will come; here am I, who dare encounter the devil himself in person!” By this time the wagon was come up with them, attended only by the carter, mounted on one of the mules, and another man that sat on the fore part of the wagon. Don Quixote made up to them and asked them where they were going and whose wagon they were driving. - “The wagon is mine"” answered the wagoner. I have there two brave lions, which the general of Oran is sending to the King, our master, and these colors are to let people under- ;“L;:\d that what goes here belongs to “And are the lions large?” inquired Don_Quixote. “Very large,” s the answer, “There never came bigger from Africa into Spain.

Against me those puny beasts! Well, I will make whatever gentlemen sent their lions this way know whether I am to be scared with lions. Get off, honest fellow; since you are the keeper, open their cages, and let them both out; for despite those enchanters who try to test me, I will make the crea- tures know UWhl‘; Don Quixote de la ancha really is.” us.ncho tried to dissuade his master from this rash attempt. Here was real danger. Heretofore Don Quixote had attacked windmills, and such like harmless objects, thinking them alive and dangerous. But lons! Sancho begged Don Quixote to desist, lest they all be torn to bits, ‘But Don Quixote could not be turned “Sirral he said e apparition in armor so or mercy's sake do but let me take out our mules first, and get out of harm's way with them as fas® as I , before the lions get out; for if they should once set upon the poor beasts, should be ruined forever, for the cart and they are all I have in the world to get & “'m& with.” “Thou man of little faith,” said Don Quixote, “take them out quickly then, and with them where thou i thnuxgu thou shalt presently see that precaution was needless, and thou htest have spared thy pains.” e wagoner upon this made all the | haste he could to take out his mules, | while the keeper cried out as loud as | he was able: “Bear witne present, that it is against my will that lmxorcrdmopenthewelmfll'e‘:‘ protest this gentleman here, that he shall be answerable for all the mischief and | damage they may do; together with the loss of my salary and fees, And now, | sirs, shift for yourselves as fast as you the cages; for, as for myself, I know the lions will do me no harm. ‘Sancho and the carter with his mules and every one else made the best of their way to get could n this strani resolute, * th: Piceeper. .VANTES. no more.

De- enes stammered. - He taught him- selt by long practice to overcome that handicap, and then he advanced to first place among the world’s great ora- tors. The late Theodore Roosevelt is another example. A weakling Ehyll- cally in youth, he became, through per- sonal regimen, strong as an adult. These are cases of direct compensation. If one road to success is closed, some people have the knack of finding an- other, This is vicarious compensation. One psychologist asserts that at least 50 per cent of the normal population get along on substitutes. I believe a greater proportion than 75 per cent, cither consclously or unconsciously, practice it to some extent, llthou{ih very few are able to hit upon the right substitute. Why is it that the biographies of self-made men relate so many failures? As a rule self-made men failed many times before they succeeded. The rea- son for all these failures which preceded a final success is, I believe, easy to state. The self-made men were contin- ually looking for an open door, a vica- rious activity, & substitute for the door that was closed to them. Finally they found one and succeeded. The world calls them self-made. Self-made men are discoverers, rather than creators. They do not make their careers; they find them. (Copyright. 1929.) MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

The first thing | he did was to roll and turn himself round in his cage; in the next place he stretched out one of his paws, put forth his claws and roused himself. After that he gaped and yawned for a good while and showed his dreadful fangs and then thrust out half a gard of broad tongue, and with it licked the dust from his head and face. Having done this, he thrust his head out of his cage and stared about with eyes that looked like two live coals of fire; a sight to strike terror into courage itself. But Don Quixote only regarded it with attention, wishing his grim adver- sary would leap out of his hold and come within his reach, that he might exercise his valor and cut the monster plecemeal, To this height of extrava- gance had his folly supported him; but the generous lion, more gentle than ar- rogant, taking no notice of his vaporing and bravadoes, after he had lookad about him a while, turred his tail and very contentedly lay down again in his cage.

When the individual is care- free and happy the flow of blood is nor- mal, but when negative emotions such as fear, anger or worry are dominant they interfere with the circulation and impoverish the quality of the blood it- self. Massage and brushing stimulate the circulation and strengthen muscles of the scalp. In conditions of lowered vitality this circulation becomes impaired, and the sebaceous glands become either overac- tive or idle. The hair is then corre- spondingly too greasy or too dry. For both these conditions the consti- tutional treatment is the same. By means of adequate rest, fresh air, sun- shine and exercise the body must be re- stored to its normal tone. Choose a wise and nourishing diet also. . Dandruff is not to be feared. It is a perfectly natural shedding of the skin of the scalp and should be called cuticle. But, like anything else, it is detrimental as well as unsightly when it is exces- sive. Nothing will correct this more quiekly than massage both night and morning. A few hot-oil treatments and & suitable tonic will help, and a thor- ough brushing of the hair will bring noticeable results. Local applications, astringent lotions. stimulating tonics and scalp creams an olls are valuable as a means of removing dandruff, dust and dirt. After applying them, give the scalp its daily massage and the hair its regular brushing with a clean brush. For an oily scalp the tonic should be made with an astringent basis, while for the overdry scalp one made with a basis of pure vegetable oil is best. A dry scalp is invariably a tight scalp.

Too frequent shampoos are injurious to a dry scalp, and one must not forget that the hair can be kept clean with d | proper brushing every night agd morn- ing. Cleanliness is, of course, essential for the health of the scalp. Dust, oil and dandruff must be removed by washing at regular intervals. A shampoo once every 10 days or two weeks is usually often enough for the average head of hair, but some require more, some less frequent cleansing with soap and water.
