But like other present- day modes of arranging the hair, they call attention to it. That’s why it’'s so important nowadays to keep your hair soft, lustrous, abundant. The easiest and quick- est way to give new lustre and color to hair, which has begun to look dull and lifeless, is with Dan- derine. And it smakes the hair softer, easier to arrange; holds it in place. i Here’s all you do. Each time you use your brush just put a little Danderine cn it. It removes the eily film from your hair; brings out its natural color; gives it more loss than brilliantine. Waves “set” with it stay in longer. Danderine dissolves the crust of dandruff; puts the scalp in the gmk of condition. It stops falling air. ' A small bottle is enough to show its merit. Start on it tonight.

THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D; €y BLIND CHILDREN TAUGHT T0 SKATE New York Lighthouse Direc- tors Impart Self-Confidence to Youngsters. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, March 1. — Roller skating for blind children has been in- corporated in the recreational program of the New York Association for the Blind, according to a recent report. Months of experiment have preceded lli adoption of this form of recreation as one of the standard methods which the assoclation will use in its educational and recreational classes to make the young_blind mentally and physically fit. Skating has become one of the daily activities of the Lighthouse Kin- rgarten, taking its place with singing and “acting” games and block building. The kindergarten class is made up of children from 3 to 6 years old. Tall Wall Insures Safety. The wide roof of the Lighthousc Bullding, 111 East Fifty-ninth street, will be regularly used for skating. A tall wall makes all running and play- ing safe for sightless children. Standard children’s roller skates are used, and even the smallest chud is encouraged to play. The purpose of this activity is to develop self-confi- dence in children whose lack of sight | tends to make them instinctively fear- | ful. - Another purpose is to destroy the | ar of movement and awkwardness | which usually characterize the blind, the very young blind. | | Association directors believe that the | ! mind and imagination, as well, will be | | reatly stimulated by the new recre- | | ation. Self-Confidence Acquired. The blind children are encouraged to “lei go” and to roll their skates | across the roof’s expanse in spite of lmy tumbles they might have. recreation directors believe that any | resulting bumps and scratches will be | compensated for by the feeling of self- confidence and poise that the children | will have once they have mastered the | art of balancing themselves on their skates. As important as the actual skating is the spirit of play taught them, which minimizes the little trage- | dies of falls and bumps. Almost all of the children enrolled in the Lighthouse Kindergarten come from families of small means, and be- fore coming to the Lighthouse most of them were kept indoors all day. In the Lighthouse Kindergarten they are dress and undress themselves and to play. By means of games and songs they learn to identify animals and ob- jects and to know the meaning of all other parts of life that they cannot use. Taught lo Use Hands. The children pass from 10 o'clock in the morning until 4 o'clock at the Lighthouse. During this time they fol- low a program of marching exercises, dancing, circle games, relay races, “memory” lessons and ’ story telling. means of ingenious sewing and peg games. In the open air on the Lighthouse roof, in addition to skating, they ma ride “kiddie cars” and the horse “health riders, and scale the miniature trapeze. During the day there are rest times, and lunch and tea are served. “HOOFING” ON WANE. classical dancing has infiltrated into current successful Broadway revues. Adagio, acrobatic and good standard trouper hoofing seem no longer enough for the theatergoer. () In “Wake Up and Dream,” Tilly Losch, the Viennese danseuse, and Tina | Meller, sister of the electric Raquel, do dancing of the sort that is seen at the Dance Repertory Theater, and the audi- ence is carried away with fit. closing of the Repertory Theater's week of dancing has left no dearth of reci- tals.

(This is a parody on human wise- acres who meditate on the duration of the world. To these monads, hours are cons, seconds are as years, they are so small and their lives are so short— before their drop of water dries up in the sun!)

Certainly this 1s true if one is to judge by the large number of comments that have ap- peared in the press and which are now reappearing in some of the magazines. His statement would appear to have been evident. There are many things which the mathematicians have known for centuries which have never been put to any practical use. What Dean Richardson had in mind was different from this. Perhaps what he said, or intended to convey, was that things which actually could be put into prac- tice, perhaps even today in the of the right man, wouid actually not be put into use for 20 years. To realize the truth of this one has only to know something of mathema- | tietans d of engineers. Few en- | glneers are good mathematicians. Those who have been were giants of their | profession. The fact that it is easy | to recall several such names might lead | one to the false conclusion that such | men were plentiful. The proper con- | clusion is that all of them were great |men and so remembered. There are | few real mathematicians alive today. | Those who pose as mathematicians are for the most mfl. merely those who can reproduce the works of others when they have once been shown how. Even this requires ability of a high order. At most our mathematicians can produce new things by a slight | variation of the old. A truly mathe- | matical mind is rare. That is why the | product of the mathematician is so | long in finding its way into industry. |PRESTES VICTORY SEEN IN BRAZILIAN ELECTION | By the Associated Press. | RIO DE JANEIRO, March 1.—Brazil- | ians went to the polls today in one of the | most important general elections of re- | cent years to elect a President, a vice | president, a new House of Deputies and | & new one-third of the Senate. | _ Although there are 40,000,000 in- | habitants in the republic, less than 3,000,000 are registered voters, the | ngcessary literacy test eliminating | many.

LONDON (#).—England is drinking even less coffee than usual and the Coffee Trade Association is so worried about it thgt it has asked the chan- cellor of th¥exchequer to put coffee in line with tea by abolishing the import duty._ Normally, the Englishman consumes about 19,000 tons of coffee annually— or 10 ounces per capita as opposed to the 101, pounds of the American. In 1929 this modest total was reduced by about 500 tons. No one has suggested a good reason why a country which already drank so little coffee should have used still less in 1929, unless it is that financial stringency has caused an increast: number of people to turn from ocoffee to the cheaper tea. Certainly no medical anti-coffee crusade has inspired the drop, for thos British doctors who have made recent pronouncements on the topic have paid high tribute to the stimulating and invigorating action of coffee.
