WOMAN’S PAGE. A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. it takes more than the rap of Charles Curtis’ gavel United States Senators that they have strayed from the path of parliamentary law. Especially has this been true in the bitter tariff war now _being :-ucd. During to d moments of deba te, Senators have detoured in all directions. The chair is powerless to call them back. For once on_ their feet the distin- guished gentlemen may talk as ong as they care to, and on whatever sub- jects they please. cther day Senator Shortridge, lican, of California, and Senator mocrat, of Utah, locked horns .

But he was far from through. He was not long getting back into politics, and he stuck it out, despite the fact that he suffered a number of defeats. Out of office for nine years, Blease went itl:gzt‘(or the United States Senate in He was victorious. As expressed by himself in the Congressional Directory he won by “the highest number of votes ever gl\'n; to any candidate in South Carolina for United States Senator.” In fact, this is not the only claim to dictinction the picturesque South Caro- linian ‘lists in his biography in the Con- gressional Directory. There is also re- corded that he is: The third Governor of South Caro- line since the Civil War to be elected United States Senator. ‘The only governor or former governor elected by the people of South Carolina for his first term in the United States Senate. ‘The only South Carolinian who has been mayor of his city, Senator from his county, speaker of the House, president of the Senate, governor of the State, and United States Senator. And the one citizen of the State elected to the most offices by the people. | He often is in the limelight. At present he is interested in the local police situation in Washington. He kicks constantly because the dip- lomatic corps is permitted to import liquor for use in embassies and lega- tions. Yet he is an avowed foe of pro- hibition in principle and says if he went to the polls as a private citizen he would vote wet, but because his con- stituents are unalterably dry in senti- ment he votes dry in the Senate. It is easy to single Ble: o1 flook of the Senate. o uete Tall, straight as an arrow, with a mass of hair that is fron-gray, he has just passed his sixty-first birthday. He is a master parliamentarian and when he cares to, can _exercise considerable charm = of manner. He is = adept in persuasion S as well as denunci- S ation of foes and policies. He once prevent- ed a Senate vote on “a resolution of ad- herence to the World = Court by conducting a one- man filibuster. And discussing party organization later he made the statement that he did not belong to the Democratic party, “if by the party is meant the caucus in Wash- ington that tries to dictate how I should vote.” He admires former Vice President Dawes, and professes great admiration for Senator Borah, both Republicans. Senator Blease is the champlion “joiner” of the Senate. He is unusually active in fraternal circles. He has held and continues to hold high posts in the Independent Order of Red Men, Odd Fellows, Moose, Elks, Foresters, Wood- men of the World and Knights of Pythias, He takes pride in the fact that he is the only man in South Carolina who thought his five-year career as | center was ended.

In the ancient days almost any trav- eler's tales would be believed, even that there was a race of men who carried their heads under their arms. Giants and fairies and gnomes and elves flour- ished, likewise mermaids and centaurs and unicorns and dragons of all sorts. But much of that was believed because of its interest to the imagination. Quite early we learn to distinguish between fact and fable. So much for credulity. But superstition is a far bigger sub- ject; for that relates to the connection between events. That's a harder matter to determine. 8o we just don't take a chance on 13 at a table or doing things on Friday. We believe in these dan- gers, whether true or not. But when the interest is self-interest, we pass right back to credulity again, which now we may call gullibility, So when the promoter comes around with the prospectus of his silver mines Or orange groves, or the patent medicine “ads” show you the picture of “before” and “after,” you fall for it or not, ac- cordint to your tendencv to believe what you would like. So our wits are constantly challenged; and perha that's goo for our mental fitness, like fleas for a dog. It keeps us scratching to decide whether to believe it or not.

Or it might be just the thing for a guest room, where it would “fill the bill” much better than a larger and more pre- tentious type of desk. Very little space is required for stationery and supplies, s0 that the upper part may hold a col- lection of interesting books—not the cast-offs we so0 often see in the room in which we have to spend lelsure hours when away from home. For the apartment living room, & wall space between two windows would be enhanced by the addition of a piece such as this, and a single ladderback chair would be in keeping with it. The finish of the secretary may be walnut, mahogany or maple, or it may be painted in a color to harmonize with with the general scheme of the ‘ored persons. THE EVENING Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. October 28, 1858.—We may justly congratulate ourselves on the sanitary condition of the city as exhibited by the mortality statistics,” says Charles F. Force, Commissioner of Health, in his annual report to Mayor James G. Berrett, made public today. During the 12 months which ended June 30 last, Commissioner Force states, 1,108 deaths in the city were reported.” This was an increase of 182 over the preceding year. Of this num- ber, omitting the still-born, 41.89 per cent were aged 5 years and under, 10.87 per cent from 5 to 20 years, 17.71 per cent from 20 to 40 years, 13.03 per cent from 40 to 60 years, 12.94 per cent over 60 years and 3.56 per cent age not reported. Two deaths were reported of persons over 100 years old, one of them 102 and the other 108 years. “There were only 20 deaths from con- gestive, intermittent and remittent fevers,” says the report, “and 128 deaths from all forms of fever. From consumption there were 152 deaths, apparently a large number, but it in- cludes many here only temporarily, or whose residence in the city had been of short duration. The deaths from cholera infantum were 64, a very small number in proportion to the popula- tion. “The city was visited by no epi- demic. Eruptive diseases, and espe- cially scarlet fever, were more preva- lent and fatal than for a number of years previously. Smallpox prevailed to a considerable extent during the Win- ter and Spring. . . . I would suggest the passage of an act to prevent the introduction of contagious diseases into | the city and also to make vaccination obligatory.” ‘These statistics on deaths are not re-arded as high, in view of the esti- mated population of 60,000 for the city. Health Commissioner Force recom- mends that the streets, alleys and gut- ters be cleaned by contract. He says too much stress cannot be laid upon the importance of a “general system of sewerage by which all sewers may be portions of a general plan, instead of being made merely with reference to the particular place to be drained.” Of the deaths during the year, 879 were of white persons and 197 of col- NANCY PAGE New Dresses Do Queer Things to Figures. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Not only did Nancy find it necessary to tone the muscles of her abdomen, but she found that her hips and thighs | were too bulging for the present-day dresses. She knew she was not going to go on any foolish diet regime. But she was aware that lack of certain kinds of exercise had made her a little flabby in spots. And it was here that she planned to do her reducing and general toning up. 8he put her hands on hips with her back straight and her head erect. Then she bent the knees until her body was in a squatting position. She found this hard enough to do, but when she learned that she was supposed to march forward, keeping the legs in this {:mlthm, she declared she could not do t. And she couldn't at first, but she persevered until she achieved it. Next she bent her knees and stretched her finger tips spraight down to floor. She separated her knees so that the arms extended between them and down to floor, Still keep her fingers on the floor she pulled herself up at the knees, trying to straighten them w’ ile her fingers stayed on the floor. Peter laughed at her attempts. “All right, Mister Peter, if' you think you are such an acrobat, you do it.” Peter tried and Nancy and Joan rolled over on the floor in helpless laughter as they watched his awkward attempts to keep his balance and heard his grunts. And Nancy says to ever: one, “How about you—can you do it?” (Copyright, 1929.) Sensible nauun{fiunema in Nancy g educing. Write to cato of ‘The Evening Star.

It must be catered to if troublesome pranks are prevented. So wise parents see that time is filled and with events that the children like. Fortunately the old tricks and games hold good year after year. If the youngsters want to dress like ghosts and wear masks, or don freakish costumes, supply them materials with which to make their own, or help them wind sheets into costumes when the time comes to dress up. Then plan a route and go with them, or have some older person whom the children lke and respect be their escort. ‘The next thing is to plan stopping places with friends and neighbors who are in sympathy with children, Some sort of preparations may be arranged at each house. For instance apples and cheese can be ready to be passed at one place, popcorn balls at another, sweet cider, ginger ale, lemonade or be served at another, doughnuts at still another, cookies, etc., at other places. It is surprisi what lamour such refreshments lend to a riendly or an assumed startied re- ception to youths at Halloween.

The interest should be kept but the flare for excitement be quelled. Bobbing for apples is a good sport to start with. Blindfold feeding is an- other less hilarious game. For this spread newspapers on the floor, have two blindfolded persons sit on them in ‘Turkish fashion, and facing one an- other. Provide each with a bowl of cracker crumbs, or some ready-to-serve dry cereal, and a teaspoon. Let them try to feed each other. A quiet contest, good to end with, is making apple hob-goblins. Each player has an apple. Wooden toothpicks and coffee beans should be handy, and knives to pare the apples with. The person making the best hob-goblin gets & prize. A time limit for fashioning the hob-goblins should be set, but do not make it so short that the players feel excited least they do not get theirs done in time. If the kitchen is decorated with a pumpkin jack-o-lantern and a few Haloween emblems, and if favors are given out, the evening will be sure to be a success. (Copyright. 1929.) Historic Persons $50,000 Found in Old Clothes of George IV When He Died. BY J. P. GLASS. “He cried by the hour, falling into hysterics, and swearing he would abandon the country, His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, afterward King George IV of England, was one of the oddest of royal characters. It is recorded that when the famous beauty, Mrs. Fitzherbert, went abroad tq escape his attentions, he “cried by the hour, rolling on the floor, striking his forehead, tearing his hair, falling into hysterics and swearing he would abandon the country, forego the crown, to- gether a competence to fly with the object of his attentions to America.” He never put over this plan, however, and so we lost our very best chance to induct real royalty into citizenship. ‘e gain a significant idea of George IV from the facts that he doted on fine clothes and did not care for snuff, which Queen Charlotte had made fash- ionable in England. He carried & snuffbox and affected to convey the snuff to his nose with an extremely graceful gesture, but he al- ways let it drop before it reached its destination.

OCTOBER 28, 1929. AUTUMN BY D. C. PEATTIE. Why shouldn't there be a regular meeting place for local weather proph- ets? At least they ought to convene, penguin-fashion, every Autumn and have a get together, This is the time of year when they begin, like some mythical Welsh bard, to twang their lyres and sing of disaster, their long gray beards waving in the wind. Every Winter, we are told, is ?nh’ls to be the worst in the history of the world. There is going to be skating on the ocean between Miami and Havana. Our sufferings are going to be perfectly incredible. Information of an advance nature may be deduced by “signs,” such as the early coloration of the trees, early filghts of the southward-winging birds; feverish activity of the nut-hoarding squirrels. Farmers and others are sepeclally gifted with a deep, penetrating men- tality, where these signs are concerned. Although you and I could also see whether the maple leaves fall early, it is only folk who live close to nature who are allowed to interpret the mean- ing, if there is any. But isn't it rather curlous that you never hear anybody predict a pleasant season, a season without disasters? Why does nobody ever say: “This will be a very average Winter, with a certain number of cold snaps and brizzards, some snowbound days, a few weeks of good skating, lots of jolly snow around Christmas time and the usual number of persons hurt in slipping on the ice?” Why not? Because it isn't sensational; it wouldn't make the weather prophet the center of the stage. There is another sort of weather prophet, and a more subtle fellow is he. ‘Without astronomical or meteorological knowledge beyond what he borrows from scientists, he talks a scientific jargon. He telis you of sun spots and the influence of the Arctic; writes of ocean currents that are shifting around, nervous as cats on a back fence.. He makes your hair rise, for he, too, never predicts anything but disasters. A famous one told me that 1927 was going to be a summerless Summer. The year came and passed. I think I was never hotter. He told me that if he wasn't right, he would be a fallen prophet. Despite the results, he is still prophesying. In the meantime, real sciegtists are really working on the problem®of long- range prediction (and quite possibly it may prove no harder than accurate, short-range prediction, which is one of the hardest and most thankless jobs in the Government service). I believe that in 20 or 30 years we shall really know in advance what sort of a Winter or Summer we shall have. In the mean time the scientists are, characteristical 1y, refusing to talk, so the public thinks they do not know anything, and prefers to believe in the rustic wiseacre. Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Mrs. J. M. G. writes: “My 5-year-old | boy steals things around the house and | gives them to his playmates. I have ! tried every method to cure him without success.” Answer.—All children like to make an impression on their playmates. Your boy, not having other legitimate ways, is compelled to steal things from you. Tell him you are happy to have him share his things with his playmates, but that he has no right to take what bejongs to you. If he wants “goodies he may have them if he will ask you for them. If he gives his own things.away, try to be patient about it, but give him better sense of property rights so that he leaves yours alone. At the present time. he scems unable to differentiate between what is his, which by rights he should do with as he pleases, and yours, which he should leave alone. You may have two leaflets that deal with this subject, “The Value of an Allowance” and “Helping the Child to Tell the Truth,” to help you clear up and end the situations causing the trouble. A self-addressed, stamped envelope is the only requirement for these leaflets. Anxious Mother writes: “My 3-year- old daughter is difficult to teach obedi- ence. She is an only child, forward, afraid of no one (you should be happy that she isn't), pretends not to hear when spoken to, won't eat a bite without coaxing, says ‘I won't’ when asked to do anything, slaps at people when they speak nicely to her, so that they say. “Isn’t it too bad she is so naughty, and such a bright child, too!” Imagine my feelings.” Answer.~—This is quite a typical only child—very bright, curious, demanding attention by refusals to eat, by slapping instead of speaking, by refusals to mind because it occasions so much “rumpus” and living up to the reputation you have attached to her of being a “naughty but bright child.” It is plain to see that everything she does is the inevitable result of the treat- ment she is getting at home. The eat- ing situation could be cleared up over- night. Why should her eating or not eating either please or annoy you? It shouldn’t. She is old enough to know when she is hungry, and if she doesn’t want to eat, well—"If you aren't hungry, dear, then don't eat.” If you are truly indifferent to this you'll find that over- night she’ll discover that it is expedi- ent to eat and not wait to be coaxed. You have brought this situation about and you can end it. I am sure our discipline serles would be immensely helpful to you. Please send me a self-addressed, stamped en- { velope and ask for “What to Do When Baby Says I Won't” and “List of Books Helpful in Understanding Obedience and Punishment.” And do stop calling the child naughty. That alone would in- spire her to continue her actions. e Prices realized on Swift & Company sales of carcass beef in Washington, D. C.. for week ending Saturday.

Many women will welcome the return of the shorter fur coat. For one thing the coat that extends only a little below the hips or to the knees calls for less fur than the full-length coat, and is therefore somewhat less expensive. This season with longer skirts full-lengtn coats are somewhat longer than they were last season, and in having a lasc season’s coat remodeled it is often bet- ter to have it made into a shorter coat than to attempt to have it length- ened with additional pelts. ‘Tht fur coat designed for rather in- formal wear is usually full length and | is made with some sort of flare. There | are evening wraps of the shorter sorv, | made to be worn drawn closely about'| the hips, down to the knees, with the | longer, fuller skirts of the evening dress | left free below the knees. Then there | are shorter coats of the sports sort— | suitable for general daytime wear as well as for motoring and spectator sports. These are usually straight ana simple in cut.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE Special Dispatch to The Star. HOLLYWOOD, Calif,, October 28 (N.AN.A).—The community sing has entered the lists.of the movies. Ken Maynard gets them going, it seems, with his songs of the West. These are old-time songs, the things| popular a score of years ago, but popular | in a_universal way which doesn't apply | to the season's hit of today. There- fore, the younger members of the audi- ence know the songs as well as those who were cotemporanecus with the times. Joining the program may be a method of audience defense planned by an out- raged populace. Judging from the let- ters which come to me, a good many members of audiences find themselves without occupation now and again dur- ing a talkie when the voices on the screen become either un-understand- able or fade out entirely. If the audience works up good spirit in its own body, it can carry on, re- gardless of the progress of the actors on the screen, and the proverbial good time can be had by all. Summing up the year's extravagances in movieland, the consensus gives “This fella Adam was a little smarter'n the rest of us about wimmin.

A leatner-brown town car with red tortoise and gold fittings and a red- headed colored chauffeur in brown broadcloth uniform behind the wheel. ‘The car’s owner wore a suit of mirogolf broadcloth, form fitting, with blue fox collar and cuffs. Her hempen-yellow curls framed a dead-white face with orange-tinted eyelids. Just a village where stories are told in celluloid strip. (Copyright, 1920. by the North American Newspaper Alliance.)
