WOMAN’S PAGE. Variety in Sleeves Gives Charm BY MARY Interest in fashion has been centered for so many years on skirts that there has been little opportunity to experi- ment with sleeves, and during the last 150 years of the history of costumes there has never been a time when sleeve fashions have changed so little as they have during the 10 or 15 years Just | Ppasse d. ‘There have been efforts from time to time to bring sleeves back into the limelight, but still an alternation of the very simple long sleeve or no sleeves at all seems to have satisfied the de- mands of most women for novelty.

The Urge of Ambitiof. “The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head.” —Luke ix.58. There is a sense in which these words apply to every true man. No true man has a place to “lay his head” in ease and contentment. There are men who, like the foxes and birds, have holes and nests with which they are perfectly satisfied. At least, they never manifest any ambi- tion to improve either themselves or their surroundings. A little higher up is another class who now and then feel the stir of a passion for something nobler and bet- ter. They have their high moods when they are resolved to go on to greater things. But the high mood soon passes and a deadly indifference settles down upon them. The truest of men, those ranking highest in the scale of manhood, are those who are ever looking ahead and continually pressing forward, urged on by the ambition to attain higher stand- ards of life and achievement. These are fewest in number, but they are the lead- ers in the world’s march of progress. Every man determines his place in this classification. You need not be a mere drifter, indifferently remaining where circumstances have placed you. You need not be of the effervescent class, bubbling over with enthusiasm to- day and tomorrow becoming the victim of indifference. By the exercise of your own will, and with God’s help, you can Join yorwself to the ranks of those for- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1930. Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. January 29, 1859.—The officers of the four great railroad systems leading from the Atlantic States to the West have been holding a private convention at Willard's Hotel in this city for the consideration of subjects of mutual in- terest. Efforts today to learn something ebout the results of the conference, which adjourned last night, have result- ed in the diselosure of very little, except | that apparently no harmonious conclu- sion was reached concerning some of the matters under discussion. It appears that one of the principal topics of discussion has been the po- sition assumed by the Baltimore & Ohio raflroad in reference to the maintenance of freight and passenger rates that give the City of Baltimore important ad- yantages in obtaining Western business. The three other railroads ate under- stood to have protested vigorously against this practice, ‘The presidents of the Pennsylvania and the New York and Erie railroads are understood to have stated that they have recelved strong protests from the merchants of Philadélphia and New York against keeping their rates above those of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the result of which is to divert trade from those cities to Baltimore. Mr, Garrett of the Baltimore & Ohio is declared to have expressed the deter- mination of his company to adhere to its “Baltimore rollcy." the corner stone of which has always been to protect the mercantile interests of Baltimore against the rivalry of her great sister cities on tthe Atlantic Coast. So far as can be learned, the con- ference adjourned without any ami- cable settlement of this question, leav- ing the sition of the Baltimore & ©Ohio Rallroad unchanged. ‘The Senate today passed the bill, al- ready passed by the House, to provide “for lighting Four-and-a-Half, Seventh and Twelfth streets across the Mall with gas.” This improvement has long been prayed for by the residents of the sev- enth ward. They have been s0 anxious fot lights through the Mall that they have been willing to pay for them out of their ward fund. But when an act for that purpose was passed by the City Council in 1857 it was vetoed by Mayor Magruder on the ground that the United States owned this property and should pay for the lights. The Washington Gas Light Co. will proceed, as soon as the order is given by the commissioner of public build- ings, to lay gas mains on Seventh and Twelfth streets and generally through- out the Island, so that modern lighting will soon be enjoyed by this section of the city, ward-looking men who, possessed with never-ceasing urge to go on, are al- ways striving to better themselves and to make the world a better place In sleeve and the draped sleeve are a bless- which to live. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS Dull, Lifeless Hair. Judging from the large number of ompiaining that thelr hair, Which fors t , W or- merly was glossy, has become dull and lifeless in appearance, it appears that this beauty blemish is more prevalent than ever. In the first place, those of dull,, lifeless locks must look their general health, Hair with a lovely sheen is seldom found on the ihead of a person whose health is in a run-down or weakened condition. There are three things which must not be neglected in any beauty program: ‘These three essentials are diet, exer- cise and rest. Given these, let us pro- ceed next to local treatments to bring life and beauty back to drab, dull Deficlency in natural oil is a very frequent cause of loss of a lovely sheen in one’s hair.

Apply two or three hot towels around the head Turkish fashion. Leave the oil on the hair half an hour or longer—the longer the better. Then shampoo with plenty of warm water and a good lather, using an abundance of warm water for the rinsing, also; the final rinse should be in tepld water. Dry the hair between warm towels and apply a tonic before the hair is quite dry and finish drying bly massaging the scalp with the finger tips. The following tonic is a good one to lx;rly to a scalp inclined to be dry: Olive oil or castor ofl, 1 ounce; cologne water, 4 drams: bay rum, 4 ounces; tincture of cinchona, 1 dram.

Regular brushing of the hair itself must also be consid- ered. Many a woman realizes too well that the real reason her hair has lost its beauty is that the day is so crowded she has let this task go—until some more convenlent time. In the end this is really & waste of time, however, for it takes much longer to restore health and beauty to locks which have lost their sheen than it does to spend the few minutes daily in scalp massage and hair and thus retain the beau- ty which ly belongs to the hatr, (Copyright, 1930.) MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE I BY MOLLIE ) Special Dispatch to The Star. HOLLYWOOD, Calif, January 29 (N.AN.A.) —The village “Romeo and Juliet” story is taking on some angles not ing by Bill of Avon into his tale. Monday this sentimental col- ony was emoting over the wistful story of 17-year-old Loretta Young being torn from the arms of her husband of & few hours by & stern mamma. The tearful promise of the young bride to walt a yeag for her true love, working strenuously in pictures the ‘while, brought back to friends the age- old tale of the Capulets and the Mon- tagues. But when a previous wife of ‘Grant Withers comes forth with a suit to obtain more money for the supnort of his child the good old Hollywood angle comes into its own, and se of the fine glitter of romantic tragedy is gone. The ex-Mrs. Withers decided i Grant Withers could afford to marry a beautiful young cinema actress he could afford to contribute $300 & month to his child’s support instead of $60. Loretia Gave Rudy the “Air” Loretta Young is the beautiful young lady who really captured the romantic Rudy Vallee, when he was in Holly- wood. It's one of the best untold stories on Le Vallee. Sally Blane, Loretta Young's sister, ‘was Rudy Vallee's leading lady in his first cinema experience here. Onto the set came the starry-eyed Loretta Young, even then very much interested in the handsome Grant Withers. HIId,}' gave her the vagabond eye, but didn’t seem to notice that it missed its mark. ‘The next day he remarked to Sally Blane, “I want to take your sister, Loretta, dancing Saturday night.” It was really a royal command. But even kings of harmony have their ups mnd downs, for when & reply message came back it sounded suspiciously like “Nothing doing.” Hollywood's Juliet of today is really the girl who gave Rudy Vallee the air— «quite appropriate for & radio favorite.

BEAUTY CHATS If you need not go on some special- ized diet, such as only a doctor can prescribe—the farinaceous, white meat or chicken sort of diet for colitis, the blood-thinning diet for other skin trou- bles—remember these few rules and you'll have no trouble. Of course, I am assuming that you want to keep down your weight. Cut your breakfast down to an egg, dry toast and coffee with hot milk or plain_black cogee, No sugar; saccha- rin, If you must have it sweet. Drink two glasses of hot water mid-morning if you are hungry. This clears the liver, flushes the stomach and does away with hunger. Lunch: Left-over chicken or fish and a salad with reduc- ing mayonnaise, or a plate of hot green vegetables, butterless toast, weak tea with lemon with artificlal sweetening, or none at all. A spoonful of dessert, if you must. Mid-afternoon, weak hot tea with lemon and saccharin (or unsweetened) and unbuttered toast, one slice. Or a couple of glasses of hot water. Put in & little sale if you loath the taste of hot water. This gives you & chance for & real meal at night. Begin this meal with clear consomme, or oysters or clams, or clam broth. ‘These things have a low caloric value. You must not put rich sauce on an; thing, however. Then lean beef, the lean parts of lamb, or of chops, or else Itry or game, As many vegetables as you fancy, except potatoes and beans, and I'd advise against corn, too, as it usually has milk cooked with it. No thickened gravies, no thick, rich sauces. And for dessert, stewed fruit and no cream. One roll or slice of bread or toast, without butter. And black coffee later, if you want.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. ‘The Lee family had always had such fun using their minds m{-my were quite at home in the new custom of playing games at dinner parties and evening affairs, Bridge cards were not brought out quite as often as before when the groups became interested in anagrams, charades or old-time favor- ites like beast, bird or fish. They e joyed the proverbs game in all its variations, One person was sent from the room and the rest agreed upon a proverb, Each one in the circle took a word from the proverb, which words they were later to incorporate in their answers. The person was called in. Starting with the first person, who had the first word, the questioner put a query, such as “Are you expecting to go home early tonight?” The proverb being in this case “Let sleeping dogs lie,” the first word to be incorporated was “let.” the answer was, “Let me tell you later.

Humiliations of Great Americans Andrew Jackson Came Out Second Best in Encounter with Benton. BY J. P. GLASS, “Now, you rascal,” he shouted, “I am going to punish you. Defend yourself.” Probably even Andrew Jackson con- sidered that he had come out of the affair with Thomas H. Benton and his brother Jesse rather ingloriously. It almost had fatal consequences for him. Jackson organized a militia force for service against Great Britain in the War of 1812. He made his young friend William Carroll, who had come out to Nashville from Pittsburgh, brigade in- spector. Carroll proceeded to arouse a flock of enemies. Jesse Benton soon challenged him to a duel. He went to Gen. Jack- son at the Hermitage to ask him to serve as his second. T'm too old a man,” said the gen- e But when Carroll put up the plea that his enemies were seeking to drive him out of the country, he relented. Carroll was his friend, he said, and be damned if the scoundrels would drive him out of that section as long as he was in it. ‘The duel turned out to be a ridicu- lous affair. Carroll was wounded in a thumb, while Benton's injury was such that he was unable to sit down for a long time, ‘Thomas H. Benton was in Washing- ton on legal business in behalf of Gen. Jackson when he heard the news. He became bitterly angry at the general for the part he had taken in the affair. is public declarations soon brought 1d Hickory” to the warpath. ‘By the eternal,” he swore, “I'll horsewhip Tom Benton the first time I lay eyes on him!" It was on Saturday, September 4, 1813, when Jackson finally encountered Ben- ton in the streets of Nashville. He and his friend, Col. John Coffee, had just been to the Nashville post office for their mail. Next door Thomas H. Ben- ton, standing in the doorway of the City Hotel, lounged in wait for the en- counter. Jackson, a riding whip in his hand, walked up to him, “Now, you rascal,” he shouted, “I am going to punish you! Defend yoursel Benton thrust a hand toward an in- side pocket of his coat. a flash Jack- son covered him with a pistol. Benton retreated backward into the hotel and across the main floor toward a porch at the rear. Perhaps this was s trick. At any rate, Benton had gone out by the rear door and Jackson was following, when Jesse Benton appeared from behind him and fired a pistol con- taining a slug of lead and two bullets at him. Jackson's left shoulder was fear- fully mutilated and he fell to the floor. Coffee had stayed on guard in front of the hotel. The shots brought him inside. He saw Jackson at the feet of Thomas H, Benton, jumped at the con- clusion that gentleman had wounded his chief and fired at him point blank, He missed and thereupon turned to help the bleeding general. A crowd gathered. Jackson was car- ried away amid loud shouts of triumph from the Bentons. ‘Though he felt the defeat keenly, Gen. Jackson soon got well. It was no longer pleasant for Thomas H. Benton to remain in Tennessee, so he emigrated to Missouri. He became a United States Senator from that State, In later years, it is pleasant to read, :1: wsI: .{lck.so‘l;'s chlcel( supporter in e Senate. hen Clay reproach ) rue an affray with Gen. Jackson.
