WOMAN'S PAGE, Selecting Shoes With Lower Heels BY MARY Tt is an interesting fact that the vogue for very high heels has been practicall co-extensive with the vogue for short skirts—and heels were at their highest when skirts were at their shortest. If fashions were always logical, we might expect lower heels, now that skirts have taken on greater length, And the fact Teally is that many well dressed women EVENING SLIPPERS WITH LOW- ERED HEELS.

SANDAL OF GREEN SATIN AND BROCADE WITH SILVER PIPING. are selecting shoes with lower heels. o For street wear with the two-piece suit there are oxfords with straight, #olid leather heels that look much more appropriate than high-heeled strap rumpa. and for evening with the very ong skirt there are slippers with French heels of moderate height. These slightly lower heels for evening have been ex- rlnlned on the ground that the new long, graceful silhouette is marred by the tilting of the body, caused from excessively high heels, and that it is difficult to walk with the even, gliding gait demanded by these new long skirt draperies when the heels are exces- sively high. Another explanation is that the new longer, slimmer silhouette calls for a longer, slimmer foot, and that the ex- cessively high heel tends to make the oot look disproportionately short. ‘This week's illustrated circular shows how to make a smart handbag with a MARSHALL. silk, velvet r brocade.

And I on not ansering, and ma called me 2 more times and came run- ning up in my room sounding like mebo&y mad, and I kepp my eyes shut as if I thawt I was still asleep, ma saying, My lands he's as unconscious as the rock’of Jibraltar. And she called me twice more and shook me once without having any effect, saying, Well my goodness Ive herd about people sleeping soundly but this ex all expectations, anybody that can sleep like that must need the sleep. , G, gosh, its werking. Wich just then pop came in, saying, Whats it all about, does somebody seem to have difficulty in arising? Meening me, and ma sed, He wont wake up, he's sleeping like the bottom of a well. If he's as tired as all that, perhaps we better let him sleep, she sed. Me thinking, G, herray. And pop shook me 2 hard shakes and they dident do anything but almost make me snore, and pop sed, It looks to me very much like a case of sleepibus agua poribus, What in the werld are you tawking about? ma sed, and pop sed, Its nuth- ing serious, just get me a glass of ice water and Ill have him awake in no time at all. Thats the cure for sleepibus agua poribus, you just pore a glass of ordnerry household ice water inside the patients pidjammers and the cure is so :ludden its often werse than the diseaze, e sed.

Cupid on the Air. The Bible says that what is spoken in secret will be prociaimed from house- tops. That is what is being done today when radio has put its aerials on so many roofs. We are telling the world. n this is & matter of music and politics, of advertising and health talks, it doesn't matter much. But there is a sense in which the human heart is being broadcast, although not by waves from any one station. No, it's the publicity given to private emotions that 1 have in mind when I say that Cupid has been put on the air and that the affairs of the heart are being broadcast in a big hook-up with- out any pause for station announce- ments. Real love demands whispers and €00- ings, dim lights and quiet air. When it is broadcast in books, as it used to be in the old love-poems and love-stories, it ‘was sent out with such a lot of romance and rhetoric that it didn’t do the heart much harm. | But nowadays we have lectures on the subject in the guise of hygiene, stories land plays and screen courtships with ever so many yards of kissing. There's nothing private or romantic about twen- tieth century love, is there? I believe that love should always be sub rosa no matter how honorable it is. It isn't secret, for it tells its tale in blushes and sighs. It is private and personal. It is meant to delight two human hearts, not to make a film or magazine article. There's so much superpublicity that romance has been crowded to the wall. Romance seems like a slow-moving ve- hicle that has to keep near the curb while the traffic whizzes by. Love, however, is something which can be inferred better than it can be dis- played. It can be felt better than it can be expressed. Let your boy friend guess about the affairs of your heart, and let him keep guessing. Cupid has his place, but it is not on the air. Cupid wants a place in the moonlight. He ought to sign off all this publicity and go back to silent love. (Copyright, 1929.) JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in English, BY JOSEPH J. FRISCH. MOTHER WAS SORT OF ANGRY WITH DAD WHEN HE USED THIS SIMILE: "AS MEANINGLESS Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Ask any business man and he will tell you that his concern is in debt. For many years women have been humbugged about debt. It has been depicted as an ogre, as a flend. Some- times it is, but when a woman goes in- telligently into debt she has taken a long stride forward. Few women, for example, are able to save money unless they go into debt. ‘They pay for insurance by going into debt for the premiums. They buy stocks on the installment plan by going into debt. Their installments are vir- tually debts. ‘The business man’s debt is to any who have extended credit to him. We urge ‘women to seek the same sort of debts. The sense of this step is soon appar- ent. One assumes obligations which must be honorably acquitted. One is compelled to meet those obligations with regular payments. Many women would not save a penny The Star’s Daily Pattern Service. s if they had not contracted to make reg- ular payments on insurance, a bond or a stock. Some homes would never be roofed if the women of the house did not go into debt over the work done, and so g:ulvreed to find the means to pay the Make use of credit. It is the means whereby you may use other people’s capital to enrich yourself in all sorts of_ways. -Every installment purchase made is possible only because credit is ex- tended to you, and you therefore go into debt to your creditor. Nowadays most folks pay as they enjoy. ‘What applies to radio sets, automo- biles and the like may be applied to many other things that are essential to our comfort or well being. Think of a debt as meaning com- pulsory saving and you have a differ- ent conception of it. After all that is just what jt means. Of course one should not contract to save more than is possible. As long income you are safe. come we mean the balance left after necessaries are paid for. Debt means advancement, not ruin, for those who use it sanely and wisely. Renting Insurance.

We suggest that when you send for his malling list with a letter advising folks who had been hit by the crash of stock prices to “rent insurance.” ‘The form of insurance he offered is old, but this manner of presenting it is new and- pertinent. His argument ran along these lines: Many men have seen their capital or estates depleted. It may be several years before their stéck holdings climb back to prices that approximate those at_which they made their purchases. In it interim they will wish to have their families protected. That is, they would not care to die leaving families and ed estates. Probably their families could not af- ford to hold the stocks for their ulti- mate recovery. ‘The suggestion is made that one “rent” insurance for that period, or, in other words, take out term insurance. the position described mig] to talk over this preca ' husband tonighnt. It will not only as- sure her and hers. of providence, it will also lighten her husband’s mind, and relieve him of the nervous strain imposed upon him by stock market fluctuations. Insurance may be rented to suit one’s needs. If one survives the pe- riod there is no return. On the other hand, there is no need for any re- turn. ~One has had her protection when she needed it. ‘Term 'insurance may carry double indemnity and disability features so that full protection is afforded by it. Your insurance broker will also tell you how your husband’s policy may be converted into a regular life policy should that be desirable later on. Usually one may rent insurance in this way for five or ten years. It is worth the serious consideration of many wives or husbands, who will find in it a practical solution to a properly worrisome problem. If your stock loss is only “on paper” this is an ideal way in which to keep it a paper loss. Roast Goose With Apple. ‘The best goose to select is a gosling less than a year old. Singe it, but bes fore drawing scrub it well with hot water and a soft brush, then rinse with cold water and dry it. After drawing, wash inside the goose with water in which one teaspoonful of baking soda is dissolved, rinse with clear water and dry. Excess fat gives a rank flavor, so remove as much as possible. Sprinkle inside with salt and pepper, then stuff it. Lay the goose on its back and cover the breast with thin slices of salt pork. This makes unnecessary any basting during the first hour of roasting. At the end of that time remove the goose from the oven, take off the pork, turn the fat from the pan, dredge the goose with flour and return to the oven. When the flour in the pan is browned, add enough boiling water to cover the bottom of the pan and use this for basting the goose frequently until it is brown all over and the meat at the joints is tender. This takes about three ours. ‘The flavor of roast goose is best when the bird does not sizzle in the highly flavored fat. Serve on a platter large enough to allow for gar- nishing around the edge with apple rings, placing parsley and curled cel between the groups of apple rings. Apple .—Wash and core five large red apples and cut into slices at least half an inch thick.

Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. I Here is something really very attrac- tive and quite different from an that you have heretofore had {n the way of a vanity box. Made of wood and attached to a good-sized mirror, this arrangement, as shown in-the il- lustration, may be fastened to the wall, laid on a dressing table or set upon a dresser, If it were used with a dressing table equipped with a skirt of chint, the ex- terior of the cabinet and the mirror frame might be finished to match the ground of the chintz, and the decora- tions on the box copies of parts of the floral design in the fabric. The in- terior of the cabinet might be finished to match the predominating shade in the design, If it it used in a small “make-up” room where space is at a premium, it might be attached to the wall at stand- ing height. Beneath it might be a long narrow wooden shelf (without skirt), this being finished to match the cab- inet and used to hold brush, comb, mirror, lotion jars, etc. (Copyright, 1929.) I SAFE TOPIC I My neighbors come, we get together, about the time of evensong, and I dis- course about the weather, discuss its weak points and its strong. For many years of observation have shown me that this topic's safe; it doesn't stir up indignation, it makes no fretful agi.m chafe. Of politics some men will chatter, and some one's sure to rise and swear, and he is liable to splatter the scenery with blood and hair. I've often seen my friends foregather, a higher tariff to discuss, and soon they'd all be in a lather, and kicking up a beastly fuss. I've heard men talk of books they're reading, and say the authors are sublime; and some one, recognition pleading, would say such authors are a crime. And soon they would be shout- ing, ranting, and pulling whiskers in their ire; then they'd go home ex- hausted, panting, worn out by all this martial fire. Most any theme will cause a wrangle, most any argument will lead to setting human nerves a- jangle, to making shapely noses bleed. 1 fill my briar pipe with heather, when neighbors come to rest an hour, and calmly talk about the weather, and no one's blood is rendered sour. And no one rises to dispute me, when I de- what boring, as I drone on, while twi- light goes, but that is better far than , and shaking fists "neath some roaring, one’s nose.

Polypoid Growths. “Dear Doctor: What causes polypold growths, and what is the best treat- ment for them? Polypoids may seem very trivial to you, compared with the other seemingly . more vital subjects which come up in four correspondence —but they seem quite important to me, because they have affected my I really feel I am developing (or have developed) an inferiority complex be- cause of them. As George Eliot said, ‘Will not a tiny speck close to our vision blot out the glory of the world?” “I have a young baby and it would be rather difficult for me to go to a big city. Would you advise a small to doctor for my trouble? MRS. B.” Polypolds are growths from the mucous membranes, and are_especially common in the nose. They are pedunculated — that is, they have stems—and are the result of hyper- trophy or overgrowth of the mumo membranes and their connective tis- sues. Their cause is not exactly known, the cause of other (Any new growth, not inflammatory, is called a tumor, so do_not be frightened by this.) ‘We know that the overgrowth of the adenoid tissue and the overgrowth of t!: tonsils h':ochfldreln fl;quenuy can be charged to a prolonged wrong diet, often coupled with pacifier and thumb sueking. Sometimes the cor- rection of the diet and the observance of fresh air, night and day, rest and other measures to promote health, will cause them to subside.

It may be that she was homely, for when, she played the role of heroine she was 21, In frontler days, girls sel- dom remained so long unmarried. Betty inhabjted one of the 25 log cabins in the village of Wheeling, now a city of the State of West Virginia. The cabin belonged to her brother Ebe- nezer., But in September, 1777, it and the 24 other huts—they were no more than that—were deserted. Every one in Wheeling had taken refuge in Fort Henry, the fortification that had been bullt three years before for their pro- tection. It had been Ebenezer Zane who supervised its construction. They had been attacked by some 400 Wyandot Indians under the white traitor and renegade, Simon Girty. Betty witnessed many a tragic hap- pening during the days of siege that followed. She saw all of 14 men, who sallied forth to drive the Indians back, tomahawked or shot. She saw 14 of the 26 men left in the fort killed or wounded. Busy running bullets for the men, she had seen the women of the fort handling their husbands’ muskets for a time, that they might snatch a moment of rest or sleep. irty had sent in a summons to sur- render. He offered terms. Col. Shep. herd, commander of the fort, had sent back a curt refusal. “Not while there is one American left to fire a musket,” he said. But the day came when the defend- ers were in a desperate plight. Their ammunition was almost exhausted. There was but one hope left to them. Sixty feet outside the fort stood Ebe- nezer Zane's cabin. 1In it was a keg of ammunition. Could it be brought in? BY J. P. LOOKED THEM OVER APPRAISINGLY. . PRESSURE ON HIS ARM.

(Now this must not be construed to mean that one should walt indefinitely for these growths to subside, for they will not in all cases, and the damage that is done to the health of the child by waiting too long, can be very appreciable.) ‘Whether the wrong diet can be the cause of hy of the mucous membranes in the adulf, is not known, but it is possible that it can: for it is known absolutely that the diet that is deficient (especially i~ vitamin A) can markedly affect th. mucous mem- branes. After polypi have occurred, though, there is no hope for their dis- appearance except through surgical re- moval, either by the cautery or snare, sometimes by a combination of both measures. If one growth is present, usually there are others. If I were you, Mrs. B, I would go to your town doctor, and if he feels he cannot care for you, he advise you to go to some nearby city where there are doctors who specialize in eases of the nose and throat.

'I'HDCH!P!PTA Col. Shepherd called for volunteers to go and get the keg. Several men stepped forward. Likely as not it meant death to go, they knew. Shepherd looked them over apprais- ingly. Then he felt a pressure on his army. A woman's voice said, “Let me He looked around. It was Betty Zane.

You can't spare a man, sir.” Right or wrong, Betty Zane tri- umphed. She was orphaned. She had neither father nor mother. Nor had she husband or child. Better perhaps that she should go than any one else.

A perfect shower of bullets and arrows was aimed at her. Some kind of fate protected her. Un- harmed, she flew through the open gate of the fort, which slammed fast behind her.

MBER 11.. 1929, Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. December 11, 1858.—It appears from a document just sent to, the Senate by the Secretary of the Interior, in com- pliance with a resolution of that body adopted at the last session, that the total amount of money appropriated for various purposes in the District of Col- umbia, since the establishment of the seat of Government here and up to June 13 last, has been $24,715,552, ex- clusive of the salaries of public offi- cers. Of this amount, as near as can be as- certained, about $6,000,000 has been for the Capitol and $14709.338 for the other public buildings, furniture, sta- tionery, painting, etc. The assessed value of the Govern- ment reservations, exclusive of the reservations formed by the intersection of streets and avenues, is $13,412,293. The number of city lots originally held by the Government was 10,118. The number of lots sold by the Government was 9,230, and the sum for which they were sold was $811,642.58. ‘The number of these lots unsold, as far as the title is clearly in the Gov- ernment, is 118. Their assessed value amounts to $6,969.30. ‘The number of Government lots do- nated to the Georgetown and Colum- bian Colleges, and to St. Vincent's ‘Washington City Orphans’ Asylum was ;Igg,o“l;elr assessed value amounting to The assessed value of private prop- erty, real and personal, is $34,720,424. The esprit du corps of the volunteers of Washington appears to be on the wane at the present time, if one may judge from the attendance at the Col- umbian Army on the nights designated by the colonel in the regimental orders for drill and instruction. The meet- ing last night was very slim. After an hour spent in close confab around the stove, the representatives of the various corps were dismissed by com- mon consent. It is strongly hinted by many of the volunteers that .they will not attend any more drill meetings under present conditions. They say they are tired going to_the Armory merely fo sit and talk. If the drills were conducted with systematic regularity, they would doubtless be more largely attended and would be profitable to the volunteers. apparently the regiment needs a drill m:laén upon whom the men may de- pend. Plum Pudding. Mix thoroughly half a pound of flour, half a pound of bread crumbs, one pound of chopped seedless raisins, one pound of cleaned dried currants, three-fourths pound of chopped suet, three-fourths pound of moist sugar, one | th, pound of finely chop apples, half a nutmeg grated, one-fourth teaspoonful each of cinnamon, alispice and ginger, a pinch of salt, five or six eggs and milk enough to mix well. The suet must be fresh and the fruit quite dry before mix- ing. It is better to break the eggs onc at a time into a cup to be sure that they are all fresh before using them. Turn the pudding into a greased steamer and steam for six hours, keeping the water boiling all the time. ‘To make a sauce for this pudding, add to one pint of heated milk a little of each of the seasonings used in the pud- ding, then add one ounce of corn flour mixed with a little milk and boil up until the mixture thickens. Now add one ounce of butter and two or thre: ounces of sugar and cook for a few minutes longer. | hnee € FEATURES. The Sidewalks of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER.
