WOMA N’S PAGE. A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. IP you would know just how powerful is that pet congressional phrase, “I object,” then drop in on consent cal- endar day in the House of Represent- atives and watch Bill Stafford In ac- tion. ‘This wiry, dark- complexioned Rep- resentative from ‘Wisconsin has & fleld day on such occasions. He is a sort of ens-man wrecking crew, Pet bilis of his colleagues and supposedly uncon- tested liegislation fall quickly by the wayside through his efforts. Consent calendar day in the House is the time set aside to get rid of the countless pieces of legislation to which there is thought to be no real objection. However, unanimous consent must be had be-| fore such bills are passed. One man | can delay action by merely rising in his seat and saying to the Speaker, “I object.” ‘This is just what Stafford is fond of doing. And he is a free-lance objector. The majority has its own crew—threr men who keep an eye on the bilis to see that only legislation with merit gets by-—but Stafford goes it alone. On consent calendar day he is in his seat early and stays late. Most of the time he is on his feet, on the Republi- BEDTIME STORIE Prickly Porky Gets Across. Some talents that we little guess Our humblest neighbors may possess Paddy -he Beaver. AT, | Prickly Porky the Porcupine was rest- | ing on the roof of Paddy the Beaver’s| house. He had been swimming across Paddy’s pond. Paddy hadn't known just what to make of it. He hadn’t known that Prickly Porky could swim. Having discovered that Prickly Porky | could swim, he became fearful that Prickly Porky might also be able to dive, and he certainly didn't want Prickly Porky inside his house. “If that fellow ever got inside our| house, we'd just have to move out,” said he to Mrs. Paddy. So it was a couldn’t dive at all, and that he wasn't interested in the inside of their house. All he wanted was to rest on that roof. “Rest as long as you want to, Brother Porky,” said Paddy the Beaver, trying to be very polite. “Rest just as long as you want to.” Prickly Porky merely grunted. He was not nearly so polite as Paddy the Beaver. He shook himself, and -when he did that several of the little spears he carries in his coat fell out. No one 5 bably no one would anything about it if they Finally Prickly Porky slipped into the water and once more headed for the other shore. Paddy the Beaver watched him. Prickly Pcrky; certainy was a funng sight as he swam. ‘What Paddy didn't know was that those little spears in Prickly Porky's coat were filled with air. Each little spear, or quill, as we call it, is hollow, and. of course, being hollow, contain air. So Prickly Porky couldn’t have sunk if he wanted to. Those quills all hefid to keep him afioat. ickly Porky took his time. He never does hurry, anyway, whether on land or in the water. He paddled slowly along. He really isn't much of a swim- mer, but he gets there just the“@iine. Finally he approached the other shore. had Prickly . No, sir, he didn’t m’%&'fify Porky. “I wonder,” said Yowler to himself, “who that is ashore here. I came down here to get a drink, but it looks to me as if I shall get both a drink and a dinner. Now I think of it, I am hungry.” He crouched flat beside an old log and his yellow eyes gleamed with hun- .;‘a:t nntédp-m. He drew his under , ready to g insiant this fellow came out fle Prickly Porky reached shore. As hel to walk out of the water he raised those quills and shook himself. The water flew and the quills rattled. ‘Yowler the Bobcat had been just ready | to spring. Instead, however, he snarled | #s only Yowler can. He had recognized | Prickly Porky, and he had no desire to | have anything to do with him. It was bitter disappointment. Yes, sir; it My Neighbor Says: If one cup of vinegar is put with the water in which colored tablecloths are washed it will pre- vent the color running. Iron them while still damp, and they will look equal to new. If you rinse a plate with cold water before breaking eggs on it, add to them a pinch of salt and then place them where there is a current of air, you will have no difficulty in beating them to a froth, When making baking powder biscuits you will find them much better if you roll the dough thin- ner than usual, and use two cuts for one biscuit, having one on top of the other.

Up and down that va- |cant row he strides, stating his reasons | for objecting with' feeling, emphasiz- | ing those reasons with wild waving of a copy of the calendar he holds in his | | right hand. The man’s energy is limitless when | the number of bills in which he shows | |an interest is considered. From February 17 to March 1 of this | | year he had something to say on the ferent times.

Yowler looked at him in| disgust. Then, with such dignity as he could muster, he turned and walked away. He had quite forgotten that he had come down there for a drink. (Copyright, 1830.) MODEST up | City, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, Today in Washington History BT DONALD A. CRAIG. March 31, 1791.—Having cluded his negotiations with of land in the proposed new Federal President Washington has pro- ceeded to Mount Vernon, where he ex- pects to remain for about a week before starting on a tour of the Southern States. ‘The President wrote today to Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State, informing him that all of the principal landhold- ers have assented to the conditions he suggested, “and it is not doubted.” he added, “that the few who were not present will readily concur in the meas- ure, even the obstinate Mr. Burns.” The President in this letter referred to the conference he had with the land- holders in the vicinity of Georgetown and those about Carrolisburg, on the Eastern Branch, when they met at his request at Suter's Tavern, in George- town, two days ago. On that occasion he asked them to drop their differences over the location of the public build- ings and join in surrendering & portion of their land for public purposes. The landholders who attended that conference, having considered the mat- ter, informed the President yesterday that they had mutually agreed and would enter into articles to surrender for the use of the Federal Government one-half of the land they severally possess within the bounds which have been designated as necessary for the ly con- wrecking | floor of the House at more than 40 dif- | new Federal City. When this business was finally com- | pleted, much to the satisfaction of the President, he left Georgetown yester- day, dined in Alexandria, and arrived in Mount Vernon last evening. Before leaving Georgetown, however, the President, under the date of March 30, 1791, issued a proclamation an- nouncing the exact lines of the Federal District. ‘The first line is to be run from Hunt- | ing Creek, on the Virginia side of the Potomac River just below Alexandria, northwest 10 miles; and the second line thence northeast 10 miles. From the south corner a line is to be run north- east 10 miles and another line thence northwest 10 miles to the end of the second line, thus forming the northern corner of the District. ‘The territory included within these lines is approximately 60 square miles in Maryland, including Georgetown; 30 square miles in Virginia, including the City of Alexandria, and 10 square miles covered by the. waters of the Potomac River and the Eastern Branch. The Federal District is thus 10 miles square and embraces 100 square miles. MAIDENS “Slow down, Maggie, he's rather good looking.” Marshmallow Filling.

WHY do parents scorn to use any tact in dealing with their children? Men and women know well enough that they have to employ diplomacy in getting along with each other. They have to consider the sensibilities and the vanities of those with whom they come in contact. They have to skip nimbly around the angles of the dispositions of their friends. They have to respect the Keep Off the Grass signs of their acquaintances. They have to “sell” themselves to those :mlnluvor they crave. They have to handle their clients and their customers gloves. But these very people, who are so well aware of the value of the right nmmh to grown-ups, use no such gumshoe method in their relations with their children. They go at them roughshod and trample their poor little feelings in the dust. They never consider how they put a thing to a child nor bother to sugar-coat the pills of advice and reproof that they administer to it. ‘Take the matter of obedience, for instance, which most fathers and mothers find so difficult to enforce that they have given up the effort in despair. The reason for this is that parents go about it in a way that sets up a sales resistance in the child. They arbitrarily order the child to do this or do that or not to do that without giving any reason for a command that often seems foolish and unreasonable to the child. They issue ultimatums, with threats of dire reprisals if their autocratic mandates are not complied with, ard this puts the child's back up and makes it determined to resist such tyranny as far as it can, ‘The child disobeys not because it objects to being guided by its parents, but llngly because of the parents’ approach. It is one thing to forbid a child to do . g and another thing to explain to him just exactly why it isn't best or wisest to do it and subtly suggest to the child that he is refraining from doing it of his own accord. Children really like to lean on their parents and defer to their judgments, and there would be very few disgruntled, disobedient children if their parents took them into their confidence and let them help govern them- selves and made them feel that they were denied mother could give them without harming them. ‘Take the matter of praise and blame. The stupidest know that praise is the lever that moves the adult world. You can jolly ?eople into doing things that you couldn't prod them into doing to save your life. Praise is quickening and blame is deadening. We all unconsciously live up to what people think of us and deliver the goods for which we get the most praise. Now children are even more sensitive to flattery than grown-ups are, and the way to develop their virtues is to turn the spotlight on their good qualities instead of their faults. Lambast children for their bad manners and they will continue to be little boors. Praise them for their good manners when they show courtesy and consideration for others and they will become little ladies and gentlemen. Nag at children for their Iaziness and they will evade every task, but make them feel that you could not do without their help and they will become efficient little workers. DOROTHY DIX.

A young lady wrote to me recently, saying: T am going to a party on Thursday evening of this week and would like to get rid of the enlarged pores on my nose before that time.

While they can usually be conquered by persistent effort, applying a lotion on Monday or Tuesday and acquiring a fine skin in time for the party on Thursday is a miracle which beauty specialists have so far been un- able to accomplish. But let's get at these ugly enlarged pores on the nose, which I am often tempted to believe are the biggest beauty problem of my readers. In most cases such pores come from neglect. Sometimes milady does not notice that the pores on the sides of her nose, which she does not readily see when she looks into her mirror, are becoming enlarged. Perhaps she is nearly always careful about cleansing her face thoroughly at night, but sometimes when especially weary she lets it go “just this once,” and so the pores begin to become en: My, Puds, you certeny are sensible, Mary Watkins sed.

If milady would keep her skin fine |in texture, she must never allow the | dirt and make-up of the day to remain |on overnight for even “just this omce.” | The best “way to cleanse the face al | night, if one has a tendency toward | enlarged pores, is first to use a ¢l | cream to take off the surface dirt, Then iuse warm water and soap to dissolve | the emmamm. To do this dip a | Turkish face into hot water and | Iather it thickly with a_pure, mild s08p. | Hold this ¢loth over the nose, rul the lather gently into the skin. Now rinse the face thoroughly in clear, warm water and gently press out the black- | heads, or “flesh worms,” as the accu- mulated oil in the pores is often called. These blackheads must not be forced out roughly, or the skin will become bruised and blotchy. After being soft- | ened first with the soap and water, the: should be pressed out very gently witl a comedo extractor or with the fingers covered with a clean, soft cloth. After the removal of the embedded | dirt, bathe the parts with a warm boric acid solution for a few minutes. This is easily made by dissolving a heaping teaspoonful of boric acid in one pint of boiling water. Finally, apply a mild astringent and allow this to dry on the skin. The astringent is very neces- sary, as this closes the If they are left open, the above treatment is worse than useless. But the astringent contracts the pores, and also makes them more active, so that they will carry off the impurities instead of be- coming enlarged, relaxed and lazy. The warm witch-hagel compress is also very helpful in improving an oily skin with enlarged facial pores. This treatment has been described in this department before, but for those who may have missed seeing it I shall be very glad to mail a leaflet describing the treatment to any one sending re- quest, accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope for mailing.
