WOMAN’S PAGE, The Sidewalks of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER. ‘The proprietor of the small, obscure, dingy second-hand bookshop whispered, and indicated a lean, undernourishe ill-dressed little man poring over volume in the cor- ner. “His body may be starved, but his mind certainly isn't,” said the pro- prietor. “He has been coming in here for 20 years. }l There have bees times, I am sure, when he has spent a few cents for books, though they might better have been applied to food. Frequently, I have sold him vol- umes below cosf although he wasn't aware of it. “He lives alone in a small room down street, and while he might avail himself of the Public Library, he en- joys the ownership of the books he chooses. “Last Fall he failed to visit the shop here, and I learned that he was ill, so I selected a number of volumes and sent them to him with the invitation to look them over and read them. He could return them, I sald, when he was | through. “Well, he read several of them, and those he perused he paid for. I refused to accept the money, but he insisted that he wanted to keep them, so I placed the price at a few pennies. “Many strange characters come in here to mull around, but none so pic- turesque as that old fellow.” * K K % “I soona be 'Merican cit',” said the swarthy young Italian as he vigorously polished our shoes. *“The first Presi- dent was George Awash,” he boasted proudly. “And what is the name of the present President?” we asked. “Mr. Cooler,” replied the bootblack.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif, January 13 (N.AN.A.) —Those who have been wait- ing and wondering about Greta Garbo may relax at last—her talking voice is r..gnificent. So many letters have come. to me asking for a report on the Swedish actress in this new art—Iletters that have had to go unanswered. Hearsay has been enthusiastic, but it had come from studio officials whose business it was to speak glowingly of their product. Saturday at a professional pre-view the Garbo voice was run for these ears. It is the sort of earthy, thrilling, deep- toned voice you would have hoped she would possess. But her possession of it is but the of the story. It is in her use of it that Garbo yreveals her- self an artist—an artist far beyond any of the limitations which silence im- posed on her. She emerged through this new form genonlllty, an ilities for a far greater gamut than the Garbo of silent films. Talking pictures give Garbo two things she did not have before—they give her youth, the naive and ebullient youth she was sometimes called upon to play in silent films. Yet she never convinced'me when she portrayed a girl in teens. bo, who is herself THE STAR’S DATLY PATTERN SERVICE. It's One-Piece.

Talkies give her play for the humor which flashes across her face swiftly as | the shadow of a bird’s wing in flight, but which lightens its gravity deli- clously. ‘The studio made an excellent choice when it picked Eugene O'Neill's “Anna | Christie” as a vehicle for Greta Garbo's | first audible appearance. She revealed herself as an actress capable of assimi- lating the genre of old Chris Christof- ferson’s daughter’ without motion pic- | die. turizing her concept. of it. Her friend- liness with the old barge woman in the first part of the picture is the casual and confiding intimacy which springs so readily upon the lips of those reared in a sordid milieu. Just how much OClarence Brown, the director of the picture, is responsible for her complete shedding of the rou- tine gestures of silent films I am not in a position to know. Garbo uses her hands but little, and then when it would be the normal thing for any—even the most stolid type—to give motion to their thoughts. What she does tells. Only twice she iapses into the good old head- holding frenzy which characterized all tense moments in her silent films; and in extenuation it must be admitted that they were situations to warrant head- holding. Greta Garbo gives us an actress with- out any of the theatrical mannerisms which have undermined the perform- ances of most of our famous stars these seasons past. She steps out of years of silence gracefully, leaving the inevitable mugging which silence demands behind her completely. A snake crawling away from last year's skin could not be more utterly free. Had the exigencies of celluloid permitted the good strong lan- guage which Anna Christie would have used under stress, she could have pointed up some of her scenes tellingly. But we find such lines as “I don't give a darn far what you think,” and so on. Garbo informs such lines with an in- tensity which lends them vitality. Geta Garbo loses much of the mys- tery which surrounded her as a silent star. But this is not the exception; ‘When we have heard nequin was never convincing to me. Modernistic Wns . ‘were incongruous upon her. e crew-neck jersey and straight dark cloth skirt of Chris Christofferson’s daughter are ideal upon her tall, lanky body. And in one shot in ollskins and a sou'wester the splen- did modeling of her face, with its hand- some bones, was never seen to better advantage. None of the old languorous kisses that were sometimes in questionable taste. She throws more warmth of de- speaks of her sweetheart than any actress I have ever heard. (She pro- nounces it “Mott.”) ‘The picture has the advantage of an excellent cast. Charles Bickford is splendid, as are George Marion and Marie Dressler. And this is, with apol- ogies for its lateness, an answer to those who have written asking for news of Greta the Great—greater by far than in the silent medium.

In those goodly old days when nat- ural science was less an affair of test tubes and applied chemistry and & pious naturalist had only to use his eves or a small power microscope there dwelt in North Carolina a pioneer in the study of fungi. With every load of wood that the slave brought for the fireplace a new species might be dis- covered, and the reverend naturalist (he was a minister by profession) in- sisted on looking over every pine or oak log before it went into the burning. I could not find a new les of 1un£|u now on my wood pile (or I might more honestly say I would not be able to recognize a new one if I met it). But every time I throw a bit of wood on my hearth I have a longing to keep it one moment longer before it turns forever to ashes. l.‘specllll{ I regret the great old logs—the worl of a hundred, or two hundred, patient " “asked the movelist. patterns as are found in wood?” I keep always on my desk a bit of an old olive root that I actually pulled out of the flames one cold Winter eve- ning on the Riviera. Intricate as a thousand fingerprints, those root fibers in their fantastic whirls and devious involutions. Intricate as the history of Europe, which very possibly it has witnessed in entirety, for many olives are now living that are estimated at more than two thousand years of age, and would carry one back to Alexander the Great. The twist in the Virginia pine knot may not have known such packed and colorful pagentry, but the tree’s history is written there—record of time and storm, of the fat years and the lean. So easy to touch a match to it. So impossible to recreate exactly even the meanest bit of Virginia pine serub. As the firelight glances round the room, from the sputtering, ~omplex wood 'that you burn away, it falls upon, the faces of the people seated round the hearth with you—wife and child, mother and father, and the stranger within thy gates. Do you really know them? Can you explain the expression of each? Explain the sheer, mere mys- tery of their very existence? Can you even explain, collectively and lu{;er. ficially, the strange twist-in-the-knot that is your neighborhood, your city, your country? The handy formulas of soclologists are good—just. a little too good. Soclology is itself only a kink in the great pine-knot of hu- manity. Did you ever take a hatchet and try to split a knot—a big knot, an ancient knot? And which broke—the shaft of the ax or the knot? And that is the reason I keep the tough old olive root on my desk—to keep me humble as a, scientist and wondering as a human. | SWEARING OFF When stern experience has shown that we should let some trick alone, why should we wait for New Year day be- fore we take the better way?

It's easy, when the habit's young, before his nerves are all unstrung, to cut out all the rye and gin, and on a wiser course begin. But he will wait 12 months or 10, to swear off with the other men, and by that time he is a slave to booze, which leads him to his grave. ‘WALT MASON.

Psychic Adventures of Noted Men and Women Bleton, Whose Dowsing Reclaimed an Arid Section of France. BY J. P. “SKEPTICALLY, SIR HENRY SENT FOR MULLINS.” Cases of dowsing generally are classed among psychic phenomena. Some may wonder how the act of locating water | or minerals with a forked stick ob- | tained this classification, but the an-| swer is that to define the phenomenon | as physical removes it from the possi- bility of explanation.

Zschokke, & noted European investigator, declared that in every canton of Switzerland were to be found persons endowed with the gift of discovering “by a peculiar sensation subterranean waters, metals and fossils, adding that in certain tests he found one of these individuals to be infallible. One of the most remarkable of dow- sers was John Mullins of Wiltshire, England. Two strange instances of his ability are of interest. In one instance Sir Henry Harben had bullt a mansion and water towers on his estate near Horham, in Sussex. He then had a series of wells sunk, but could obtain no water. Scientific ex- perts advised him, but the net result was an expenditure of more than $5,000 without & drop of water having been obtained. Skeptically, Sir Henry sent Mullins. The latter walked over the estate with his dowsing rod. At a certain point it turned violently, and abundant water was found at a depth of 20 feet. At Waterford a factory needed an in- creased water supply. Wells bored to depths ranging from 62 feet to 1,102 feet were all fallures. Mullins finally was summoned. At several spots h sald water could be found at 90 feet. A well was sunk, which gave an unfail- ln{ supply of 3,000 gallons an hour. t should be added that the factory’s grounds were small, only 700 by 300 feet. Its owners would have had to move it if Mullins had failed. The outstanding dowser of history was Bleton, a French charity boy. Dr. Thouvenel, a physician to Louis XVI, wrote and published an exhaus- tive report of the achievements of this boy at a period corresponding to the close of the American Revolution. He made a series of tests—it must not be supposed that only our own age has been skeptical in regard to these mar- vels—that resulted in convincing proofs of the youth's strange ability. Bleton performed a service for human- ity that has caused his name to be re- membered with gratitude. He discovered in an arid province which had defied cultivation numerous underground springs with tremendous ! molds and baked in a pan of hot water. | Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. January 13, 1862.—President Lincoln | today nominated the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton of Pennsylvania to be Secretary | of War in place of the Hon. Simon Cameron, whom he nominated at the | same time to be United States Minister to Russia, instead of the Hon! C. M.| Clay, who has been recalled at his own request, in order that he may take an active part in the war for the restora- tion of the Union. Mr. Stanton is a| Democrat and was Attorney General in | the cabinet of President Buchanan. Gen. Cameron is understood to have been anxious for some time to escape | the onerous and wearing duties of the | ‘War Department and has taken gladly the opportunity occurring through the | repeated request of Mr. Clay to be re- called from St. Petersburg to exchange his present position for one in which he may find the relaxation necessary | to_his health. ‘The selection of Mr. Stanton to be Secretary of War was hailed by friends of the administration today as evidence of President Lincoln’s political sagacity and enlarged patriotism. It was for the most part through Mr. Stanton’s “energy and clear mind” that the waiting policy of President Buchanan in the latter part of his administration was changed to one of vigor against the secession movement in the South, according to Mr. Stanton’s supporters. His exertions before entering Presi- dent Buchanan's cabinet are declared to have helped to show Mr. Buchanan the real nature of the conflict that was impending, so that when Mr. Buchanan decided to do his best to stem the se- cession movement he naturally selected Mr, Stanton as a trusted aid in carry- ing out his new policy. Bince the accession of Mr. Lincoln to the presidency there has been no warmer supporter of his administration than Mr. Stanton, who is regarded as & representative of the great mass of Northern people, who, though not vot- ing for Mr. Lincoln in the late presi- dential election, has, nevertheless, stood up for his war policy with earnestness. Mr. Stanton’s nomination to be Sec- retary of War in the cabinet of Presi- dent Lincoln, under these circumstances, is regarded by the President’s friends as but another indication that Mr. Lincoln realizes the obligation resting upon him to_conduct the war in a non- partisan spirit and to bring to his aid all the country’s resources that may strengthen his hands for the good of the Natlon as a whole.

As has been stated again and again, health is the foundation of all beauty. Beautiful hair, a_shapely body, pearly teeth all depend first upon good health is sure that nothing has been left un- done in order to insure a healthy con- dition of the skin, the next step is spe- cial ‘e of the face. After the nightly cleansing with warm water and a pure soap, rinse well and secondly upon the external car¢|ang apply an astringent, or give the given them. There can be no real beauty when the skin is blotchy, with enlarged pores and blackheads and the complexion sallow. Sometimes one is tempted to believe that in some particular kind of cream lurks a strange magic, and that | if the cream is applied according to directions it won't take long before lhc; skin has attained that loveliness of color | and texture which is the envy of all. Quite true, there are marny creams and lotions which have much to do with | beauty, but she who depends upon them for everything is pretty apt to_be doomed to disappointment. For, first | of all, a beautiful skin is a healthy skin. | This skin health must be gained first through wise diet. Those who persist | in eating foods too rich for their digest- ive organs to care for will suffer from | unattractive, blotchy skins, no matter | how much time and money are spent on lotions. . The next important consideration in keeping the skin healthy is scrupulous cleanliness. This is impossible withcut a warm cleansing bath daily. After the bath the skin should be musazef vigorously with a coarse towel to stimi- late circulation. But the cleansing bath is not enough. In addition one needs a cold, stimulating bath each morning. There is nothing better than this to bring a really healthy glow to the skin. If the cold bath proves too strenuour, one may substitute a brisk massage with a coarse towel. A salt rub com- bined with the cold, stimulating bath is fine for the skin. A smooth, clear complexion is the aim of every beauty sceker. After she face a brisk ice rub in an upward Yotary motion. The ice, like the astringent, will close the pores and tone up the skin. In the morning wash the face in cold water, unless the skin is particu- larly dry, in which case it is better to use cold cream. Wipe off the excess | cream and apply powder. Those with a dry skin may also use cold cream as a cleansing agent at night instead of the warm water and soap. If every mother would teach her little girl to wash her face well each night with warm water and soap, rinse in cold water, and in the morning wash with cold water, she would help insure for her child the beauty which shouid rightfully be hers in maturity as well as in childhood.

Sometimes a person gets into such a situation through his own bad man- agement, sometimes by sickness, acci- dent or unemployment, often by a combination of several of these. But regardless of how it happened, debt paralysis is a most pitiable tragedy. It is a financial disease from which few people ever completely recover. Many actually die of it; many more lose their self-control and self-respect and become social dereliets of one sort or another. The person paralyzed with debt is suffering from two sorts of trouble. One is within, mental; the other exte- rior to him. Worry and fear are the mental conditions. Actual debts and the handicap which these obligations for payment fasten on him are the ex- terior troubles, a complicated system of tape which ties him down more and more helplessly as time goes on. It is little wonder that some families have an absolute horror of debt; that they would go without everything in life rather than to owe for anything. And yet it isn’'t sensible to act that way. No one needs to have horror for There is nothing mysterious about debts. And if a person will “keep his head” and think out the situation in broad daylight there are a number of remedies and a cure for almost every case. ‘We have heard it sald very often of the European nations since the World ‘War that their first need was to “bal- ance the budget”—that is, to plan a he goes once more, his credit begins to improve in spite of all his })ut debts. But something must, of course, be done immediately about these debts. If one’s credit is improved one may hops to “fund” many of the bothersome ob- ligations into one larger loan. This would simply mean borrowing from the most lenient creditor enough to settle with the others, with the understanding that from now on he will receive regu- lar payments. ‘The plan of funding one’s debts, by the way, would save a great many peo- ple a great deal of worry by reducing the number of things to worry about, and at the same time make it much simpler and easler to get things all straightened up. But even the person almost down and out can usually get some sort of fund- ing concessions from creditors if ie will but face them and take them into his confidence. No matter how vicious a’creditor may be inclined to be, he always has to remember that he may lose all if his debtor goes bankrupt. That is why he will listen to a plan for postponing all payments until a man gets on his feet, provided the debtor will only take the initiative in working out some reasonable plan for future settlements. Of course, any debtor has the option of going bankrupt. But that leaves a permanent stigma which few can live down. Better by all means to work it out by a funding plan or a “‘moratorium” permission of the people you owe. . Apple-Mint felly.
