WOMAN’S PAGE, MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Tender, Dry Skins. ‘Those who have tender, dry skins usually find that the problem of keep- ing their complexions in good condition aggral during the Winter months. x ki easily, and if the a complexion makes the mistake of going out of doors im- mediately after washing her face and without using plenty of protective cream, she is pretty sure to pay the price by ac- ing a complexion which is so dry t it becomes scaly. As washing with soap and water only makes & dry skin still more dry, the woman with a dry skin should never cleanse her face in this way more than once a day, and that at night just be- fore retiring. Even then she should not use hard watsr: if there is no other kind available the water should be | scftened by immersing in it a little bag filled with oatmeal or almond meal. Another simple way to soften the ‘water is to cover a cupful of uncooked | benne, two ounces 3 ly mildest soaps should be used, the water should be' tepid and the final rinsing water cold. Many find that pure baby Castile soap is the only kind which can be used on this type of skin, and the washing should be followed by rinsing in several waters to make sure no soap is left on to frritate the skin. But even washing the face as care- fully as this proves too harsh for some skins and for them I would recommend a cleansing cream. While some feel that the face is not really clean with- lout soap and water, the following | cleansing cream will be found very effective, and in answer to that very | frequent query let me say, “It will not im' hair.” | To make the cream use oll of almonds, one-half oun ofl of cologne water, two drams; tincture of benzoin, five drops. A woman with a dry skin should never apply make-up or go out of doors without first applying protective cream to her face. Cold cream makes the best protective as well as the best powder base for a dry skin, as it tends to lubricate the skin as well as pro- tect it. As a dry skin wrinkles much more quickly than an olly one, the woman with this type of skin must begin early to it or she will become prema- turely old in appearance. Twenty years of age is none too early for her to start her massage treatments to keep the years at bay; special attention should be given to the skin around the eyes, mouth and the neck. Use a good tissue cream to lubricate the massage and make sure that all the movements are upward and rotary. The massage must be so gentle that thers is no danger of stretching the skin. catmeal with boiling water, let stand (Copyright, 1930.) MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE 8pecial Dispatch to The Star.

The President took each by the hand separately as they were introduced to him. After the introduction ceremonies were over, Mr. George H. H. Stewart, chairman of the commission, made a short speech, in which he thanked Mr. Lincoln for the hearty co-operation the commission has received from him in its work of ministering to the re- ligious, medical and other needs of the soldiers. The President responded, ex- pressing his appreciation of the visit. “You owe me no thanks for what I have been able to do for you,” sald Mr. Lincoln, “If I may be permitted to say it, I owe you no thanks for what you have so excellently done for the country—and for me. We are both alike working in the same cause and it is the fact of its being a just one which gives us our mutual joy and reward in its service.” After a little informal conversation with the President the delegation left the White House much impressed by their visit. On reassembling the con- vention proceeded to the reading of the annual report of its work among the soldiers. President Lincoln has signed the bill creating a general-in-chief of the Army. No appointment has yet been made to fill the post, but the understanding is that it will be given to Gen. Grant.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. Pmmm HOOVER'S appointment of Fred Sackett to be the Ambas- sador to Germany results in the United States Senate gaining a man who bears a striking resemblance to Abraham Lincoln. Immediately upon announcement of Senator Sackett's appointment, the name of John Marshall Robsion, who represents the eleventh district of Kentucky in Con- gress, came to the front and he was appointed by Gov. Sampson. Robsion’s wavy hair somewhat mars his likeness to the great eman- cipator, but the man’s other char- tucky Congressman is tall and angular. His shoulders are broad. His man- ner droll Repr e sentative Will Taylor of Ten- nessee, a _close friend’ of Robslca’s for years, says he thinks of Lincoln every time he sees his Kentucky colleague. As a spinner of yarns, Robsion has few equals. And when it comes to pitching horsehoes—his principal and almost only form of recreation—his prowess is never disputed. ‘They say down in Kentucky that as a political campaigner John Robsion has few if any-equals. In addition to the mlr:ed gunceuu inu}:n ow;x c::\- paigns, he has waged those of other political aspirants with equal success. Robsion was born of poor farmer parents in Knox County, Kentucky, 55 years ago. He spent his youth on the farm and attended the common schools of the county. Then he went to Lebanon, Ohio, and got a degree from normal school. He pursued his studies further at Ada, Ohio, and at Knoxville, Tenn. He also holds a law degree from Centre College, Danville, Ky. Robsion has been a school teacher in rural communities and in colleges. He was successful as a lawyer and has engaged in the banking business as well. While not wealthy, he is fixed comf¢ ably financially. He came to Congress on March 4, 1019, and has been returned to his seat in_every election since. He is known in Washington perhaps more for the part that he has played in trying to get a secretary for educa- tion in the President’s cabinet than any other thing. He regards creation of a Federal de- partment of education as “one of the lmpelnni needs of this country,” and has worked tirelessly to that en A former school teacher, he describes him- self as a “friendly critic” of the present public school system. Ten years of study of this question as a member of the House committee on education has convinced him that “education should be aided, encouraged and dignified by a place in the Pregident’s cabinet.” The new Senator is married and has two children—son and daughter. The former is chief counsel for the Pension Bureau in Washington. The daughter is married. LIGHT MY WAY BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. The Ready Man. “I am ready.”—2 Tim., iv:6.

NANCY PAGE White Sale Is Really a Rainbow. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Time was when a white sale held uary was exactly what its name implied—a sale of white bedding, towels and house linens, But nowadays so few house linens are white that the sale really deserves a different name.

The letters disclosed that Thomas Hutchinson, native Governor of Massa- chusetts, _secretly the men" of George III, and hopeful of a baronetcy, had suggested that British troops be sent to Boston to enforce the acts of the crown. Franklin, having got hold of them, forwarded them to the Massa- chusetts Assembly. That body wrathily sent a petition to the king that Hutch- inson be removed. For five months the petition was dis- re?.rdul. Meanwhile the letters were published in America and in England. How had they become public? Franklin admitted his responsibility. Then the question was asked: ‘How did Dr. zr'rnklln obtain them?” He did not ‘The crown thought it saw a chance to ruin American agent. The privy council suddenly decided to take up the matter of the petition for the re- moval of Gov. Hutchinson and sum- moned Dr. Franklin to appear before it. In the presence of the council, Alex- ander Wedderburn, the king's solicitor general, sharp. and unprincipled, vici- ously attacked Pranklin. He charged that the American had stolen the Hutchinson letters to discredit Hutchin- mfl gain the governor’s office for In a bitter speech interspersed with stic wit, he declared: acquit Dr. Franklin of of obtaining these letters lent or corrupt means for the malignant purposes. . . .
