WOMAN'’S PAGE. Warm Fruits for THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 38, 192¢ Chilly Mornings BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. In Winter, when the mornings are bleak and chill, hot breakfasts are wel- come. Adults may have their cups of hot coffee or tea, as their fancy dic- tates, but those who do not care for either and little folk who are too young to be served with these beverages like to start with something warm, too. ‘This_can be supplied by hot fruit for the first course.

Steamed evaporated peaches are de- liclous when served hot with rich cream. Personally, I much prefer peaches with the skins left on. There is a richness of flavor that is lost when the fruit is peeled, and, after the cook- ing, all the undesirable fuzziness is elim- inated. The peaches may be soaked and then steamed in a tightly covered steamer. or they can be steamed in the top portion of a double boiler. Some prefer to simmer the fruit with sugar and a little water. All the ways given peaches well sweetened, mellow, and with a rich juice. For this reason even the steamed fruit should be put in & pan ™ bricots can be prepared and served can be pi and se: If a delicate cereal , the fruit can be put on top of a helping and then cream and sugar added. ice very tempting when served with fruit, rich cream and sugar. Baked apples are easy to prepare. Be sure that they are the right sort to bake. Greenings are fine. Talman Sweets are favored because, while they get tender, they never lose their shape. Baldwins are delicious and bake well. There is a large variety of apples that are good for baking. They are full flavored, and one apple is enough for two persons. Variety is given to baked apples by putting them in a covered bean pot with a little water and sugar and allow- ing them to bake for a.couple of hours or longer in a slow oven. The apples will turn very dark and have a entirely different from those baked in the usual way. Winter pears are sur- g:;sinxly delicious when baked in a npot. Prunes are the usual fruit to have for breakfast. Fortunately they have risen in the esteem of cooks and are considered not only wholesome and eeconomical, but tasty as well. It is im- perative to wash prunes well, for one of the growers and packers told me that there was a substance that must be eliminated thus, just as there is in rice. (Copyright, 1929.) LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. Sattiday afternoon I was sitting on | my frunt steps leening back comforo- able, and the sun was shining on my face making me feel even lazier than what I felt by nature, thinking, G, this feels grate, who wunts to jump and run around when they can be doing this insted? i Meening nuthing, and pritty soon Puds Simkins started to go pass saying, Come on around to the store with us, Benny, you aint doing anything. Thats what you think, but it seems | like plenty to me, I sed. And I kepp on sitting there just stt- ting there, thinking, This is all I wunt to do, this is the life for me. And Sam pass, Glasses saying, Hay Benny we know where their pulling a whole house all down and you can see rite in all a ways up to the roof because theres no frunt wall any more, come on.

And I just wawked around no place special for a while, being the hardest kind of a wawk, and I thawt, Well, she must be out now.

We had a letter from a reader who was rather hurt because her stock profits had been diminished in the re- cent crash. She asked us whether her daily investment counselors had not been derelict in their duties. Inclosed was a list of her holdings, and imagine our surprise when we learned that her complaint was not about losses, but about diminished profits. She found fault with us all because :I:‘r “splendid paper profits” were mem- es. All she asked of us was to have told her when prices reached their peak! We cite this woman for a few prac- tical reasons, not merely to call atten- tion to a human trait known as avarice. Rather to remind women who might accredit “‘experts” with omniscience that they are “riding to a fall.” In other words, if there is any woman who thinks for a moment that any one can prognosticate with any de- gree of accuracy she is simply unac- quainted with the facts, Stand by the seashore and try to guess the height of the wave crests. Your chances of accuracy are as great as they would be if you tried to guess the peaks of stock prices. This much may be said. When stock prices are all out of line with “book value” and earnings, it is a fair sign that peaks have been approximated if not fully attained. In the case of utility stocks we called Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. It is interesting to lock about for | accessories and find out what difler- ent things may be combined happily, rather than be determined that every- | thing must match exactly. The for- mer idea enhances the schemes of a room and shows more intelligent se- lection than the monotony of match- ing pleces. In the accompanying ilustration are | shown two pieces which might be com- bined in the living room of an early American hcuse. The one in the upper part of the #ketch is of early English design, and inasmuch as we know that pleces of this were brought over with the early settlers, we feel that it is very companionable with the pieces that ‘were made by them shortly after their arrival. This may be used for either a stool or table beside a chair, is easily moved about by using the slip in the top for a gocd, firm hold. The lower portion of the skatch shows a Windsor table (just like the chair without a back), which is low enough to use for a coffze table in the living reem, or for a bench in front cf | his pilfered funds, and so reparation little bit. attention of all inquirers to the fact that prices had been inflated, and fu- ture earnings fairly well discounted or anticipated. Therefore, when thg' ex- pected market break or “reaction” oc- curred, one could expect deflation to be greatest in the most highly inflated stocks. We think this is a good time to re- mind women that securities alone offer one relative assurance against fluctua- tions in the values of one’s investments. They do not offer capital appreciation, but they do offer steady and regular income. Those who wish full profits must take full risks; those wishing half profits must take proportionate risks. We ad- vise all woman investors to bank on no “expert’s” clairvoyance. There is no such thing. Furthermore, have you ever tried to tell a woman with a 100- point profit that's all there'll be, there can’t be any more? We have, and so learned the futility of trying to get fiyers’ feet back on earth. Small profits do not satisfy swollen heads, and big profits simply whet their appetites for more. Pity the poor expert or adviser who depends on mere knowledge and information in such a situation! Problem for “Mrs.” Solomon. Solomon had no monopoly on the knotty problems, as is evidenced by one presented to us this week. It was, briefly, that of a mother whose son had stolen from his father’s estate, which he managed and which he had so depleted that his mother’nl income was seriously curtailed. We were requested by the mother to solve her problem. Obviously, we could not advise her to send her son to jail, and, at that, nothing would be gained by that procedure. er son had spent was not possible. A man who will steal from his mother cannot be relied upon to live up to any written obligation. We suggested that her son provide living quarters and board for her for a specified time. Meanwhile she re- quired him to give her a written con- fession of his theft and a full acknowl- edgment of the extent of his. liability and culpability. This situation is one of the saddest any mother is called to face, but it does not help to be maudlin over it. One must make the best of it. mother's first thought should not be punishment, because scandal will at- | tach to her as well as her phild. Her | first thought should be her own sub- sistence, and procedure should be taken | with that uppermost in mind. Her pext step should be to remove her son from the position of trust which he occupies and to appeal to the proper judicial authority to appoint either an individual or trust company as suc- cessor. Restitution may sometimes be com- lled if the son is a beneficiary of lunds or properties as yet undistributed. We advised the mother to intrust her affairs to a competent and truthworthy lawyer and to_have him transact all business with her son. Otherwise, of course, she might simply be deceived and defrauded again. Circumstances of this sort are habit- ually concealed, and sometimes pride and vanity cause a doting mother to face tragic years of dire want all for the love of a wastrel good-for-nothing child. Mother love is stronger than reason, and that is why we suggested to the above mother a course of action, but added ‘that her lawyer alone could make it effective. It's sad but neces- is [to lean to the h Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Radio Speculation. From the pen of a rather well known scientist comes the story that his wife has suffered less from chronic head- aches since he has taken a ‘radio into his home. While careful in making de- ductions about the situation, he seems thesis that radio waves are responsible for the improve- ment in his wife’s health. 1In support of this hypothesis he cites the fact that radio waves seem to lessen the ravages of tuberculosis in the case of rats suffering from that malady. Some normal rats were separated into two groups, after having first been in- oculated with tuberculosis. One group was taken to the vicinity of a strong radio station, the other group was kept in a region where the radio waves had little or no effect upon the general con- ditions. Almost to a rat, the group ex- posed to the radio waves improved in health; the unexposed group showed no improvement in health. This is speculation. Of course it is. Is it worth speculating about? Who knows but that this hypothesis may lead to something important? As a matter of speculation it has quite as much to commend it as had many of the theories of the past that uitimately led the way to marvelous discoveries. While we are speculating we may as well go & step farther. Why aren't the ethereal surroundings the most impor- tant of all our environments? Ether waves of some sort are, in the last analysis, responsible for all our sensa- tions, all our contacts with our material surroundings. The senses of sight and hearing especially are known to depend entirely upon some sort of waves ema- nating from the objects seen or heard. In brief, a great deal of what we know as mental states in respect to our sur- | roundings is due to ether. No one can say just where we are headed in the way of inventing ma- chines to make the mysterious ether serve the purposes of mankind. I am reminded of that ancient phi- losopher who bore the name Anaxi- mones. According to that ancient savant, air was the ultimate source of being, animate and inanimate. Perhaps we are, after more than 24 centuries, just beginning to discover what he guessed. (Copyright, 1929.) NANCY PAGE Behavior Chart Plotted by Lacey Girls. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. “Just ’fors Christmas” finds most boys and girls trying to be good. But it is hard, what with all the excite- ment and mystery. Then, tco, mother is baking cakes and cookies and mak- ing candy. That means that the chil- dren do more “piecing” than usual and upset their stomachs and their tempers at_the same time. Mrs. Lacey had worked out a scheme which bade fair to be a success. She took three large sheets of paper and had Mr. Lacey draw 30 lengthwise lines. ‘Then he crossed these with nine cross- wise lines. In the first row across he placed the numbers from 1 to 30. Each one stood for a day of the month. Across the top he put the name of daughter. One sheet had Pam’s name, another belonged to Judith and the third to Claire. Over at the right in th> large space left after the 30 lengthwise square he printed the words sunny, fair, variable, cloudy, rainy, thunder and storm. At the end of the day each girl drew | a line which extended from the line drawn the day before and which went u? or down according to the behavior of the child during the day. . If she had cried a great deal the day was rainy. If she had lost her temper she father told them this scheme was called “plotting a chart.” At the end of any day it would be easy for Santa Claus or any other grown-up to see just what sort of a behavior chart each child had. ‘The Lacey girls tried exceadingly hard to stay in the sunny and fair area.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER IT was one of the oddities of the spe- cial session of Congress that one of the powers of the Senate stood all alone during the trying days of the tariff battle. That man was Hiram Johnson of California. Pro- gressives and Democrats joined hands, cld guard Republicans drew their lines more taut, and freshmen Senators organized a “baby hloc.” Yet the roster of not one of these in- cluded the name of the short, robust, hard-hitting Cali- fornian. “I am in the happy or the un- happy position,” he told the Senate as the session neared a close, “of being neither a part of the dominant faction nor a part in reality of the coalition. . . . “I am here . , . unorganized . . . but anxious to do the best that may be done in respect to this bill and in re- spect to a tariff measure generally.” Thus he stood during the whole of the special session. Recognized as one of the Senate’s best fighters he remain- ed alone and aloof, asking, as his col- leagues became more and more en- tangled in the meshes of the tariff: ‘Where are we?” ‘The stocky Californian is one of the most colorful men in the Senate. He is a stickler for the right kind of clothes. He stands about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs in the neighborhood of 190 pounds. ‘There can be no denying the fact that he has a “bay window,” yet despite his weight the Senator gives no impres- His eyes are clear blue like a piece of steel; his thick iron gray hair is cut short and parted in the middle. His voice is low and pleasant in con- versation and he has a genial smile. When addressing the Senate he speaks in a clear, ringing voice, that rises at times with a staccato note. He uses forceful gestures, one in par- ticular. The forefinger of each hand is extended as though he were holding & glstol. his hands held low as though he ad just drawn a gun. In this manner he punctuates his rapid-fire utterances. And his collegues listen with close | attention. Johnson's outstanding characteristic is and the answer will be “courage.” tive of this. One of the prized possessions of the Johnson family is a Chinese cook. When the earthquake leveled San Fran- cisco and actual cash was scarce, the cook tossed a bag of money he had sw\;'ed away into the Johnson family Later, when the Senator was running for governor, a representative of labor suggested that because of the feeling against Asiastics in the State, he should get rid of his Chinese servant. “My dear man,” Johnson replied, “if I must give up either my governorship or my cook, I prefer to give up the governorship.” The Senator is a great base ball fan, although his duties prevent him from attending many games in Washington In his younger days he was a pitcher of no little ability at the University of California. He is an inveterate movie fan ‘Three miles from the White House as the crow flies, in one of the wildest and most impenetrable sections around Washington, is what is expected to be the last word in country clubs. { It is to be exclusively for the use| of Army, Navy and Marine officers, and in time probably will be the largest organization of its kind in the United States. | It is on the Arlington side of the, Potomac River, in_a setting of rare| and wild beauty It seems impossible that a place so wild could be so near ; the Capital, yet there is ample proof.

Developments thus far have been supported entirely by the small initiation fees and dues of the members. It is the ultimate ambition to enroll every Army, Navy and Marine officer who comes to Washington on the club roster. The success of the Army and Navy Club, long a vital factor in the social life of Washington, is due to this and the same principle is to be followed in regard to the coun- try club, Historically ap- propriate is the site of the club.

D. Theobromin. “Dear Doctor: I have a brand of asthma which is stimulants the doctor has prescribed and I have recently stumbled on the discovery that chocolate also helps. I suppose it is the theobromin that has this stimulating effect. Would' you be willing to advise me whether the choc- olate would be injurious? “I sometimes eat during the day an amount of bitter chocolate varying from one to two square inches (surface measurement, and you know what the thickness of the cake is), and some- times not that much. M. Theobromin has the property of di- lating the blood vessels slightly, and that is the probable reason it kelps you, It seems to lose its effect when used continuously and when prescribed as a medicine the advice is not to take it more than two or three days at a ime. I do not believe the amount of the thecbromin you get in the amount of chocolate you take would be at all in- jurious, M. The amount of theobromin in chocolate is 1 per cent by weight. If you take an ounce of chocolate, then you will be getting approximately 5 grains of theobromin. The medicinal dose of theobromin varies from 5 to 15 grains, so in the chocolate you are taking (approximately one ounce) you would not be getting more than the medicinal dose. “Dear Doctor: Is any benefit derived or any harm caused by giving a child a larger dose of cod liver oil regularly than is indicated on the bom"s Some children may need larger doses of cod liver oil, but there is no need of giving a larger dose than your physi- cian prescribes, Mrs. B.

It was only too apparent that everybody in the chamber realized the Union of the States. ‘That portion of the President's mes- sage treating with secession was heard with deep silence. Every word was fol- lowed with the keenest interest. It was not a surprise to those who have been famillar with Mr. Buchanan's public history and his views on this subject. ‘While showing that the Union is al- ready practically dismembered by an effort of South Carolina to secede, he argued against the soundness of the pleas upon which the right of secession is based, indicating that it is nothing less than revolution. At the same time he argued against attempting to cure the difficulty with a policy of coercion. He pledged him- self to the execution of the laws by the exercise of all the powers of the Gov- ernment really at his command, but showed that without prompt action by Congress those powers will be avail in an emergency. Many plans for disnosing of this por- tion of the President's message were advanced at the Capitol this afternoon, but no definite course has been adopted. It is possible that it may be referred to a special committee composed of one Representative from each State, se- lected bv each State delegation. Such a committee, if created, may be in- structed to recommend amendments to the Constitution to cure the disabilities of which the Southern States complain. ‘The Republicans in Congress do not seem to be awake to the full danger of the situation. They do not yet seem to understand that the continuance of the Southern States in the Union probably depends upon giving them additional constitutional guarantees to protect their “peculiar institution” of slavery. ‘The well known talking men in Con- gress have been silent for 24 hours, but they are expected to open the flood- gates of controversy tomorrow.

She as been called the greatest beauty of er day in Europe—she lived from 1646 to 1699—and she was the richest heiress. But, despite her advantages, she died in ;zflnt. Her body was seized by her cred- ors. She was the plaything of a great statesman’s maneuverings. She was the niece of the great Cardinal Mazarin, successor to Cardinal Richelieu as min- ister of France. Mazarin made her the wife, at 13, of the Duc de Mayenne. The latter had fallen passionatcly in love with the beautiful child, though there ywas a great disparity in their ages. He declared: “If I shall dic in tk-ee months.” Mazarin gave her to him on condition that he would take the name of Mazarin. The Duc de Mayenne was half-crazy. He thought himself inspired and he wakened his wife in the dead of night to describe to her visions he claimed to have had. He made her wretched for six years, when she sued for a separa- tion from him, and took refuge for the time being in a nunnery. She was naturally wild and reckless and she now gave rein to her inclina- tions. She mixed ink in the holy water. She brought barking dogs into the dor- mitories in the dead of night and poured water on the nuns as they slept. She had to be taken to the Palais Mazarin The Happy Ending.
