ENATOR HARRY HAWES of Mis- | souri is going to quit public life and | devote his time to a cause which lies wvery close to his heart—conservation. bhig and Missourian announced that he will not be a candidate to suc- s ceed himself next | year — that when | his term expires he | will accept the presidency of a na- ture conservation commission en- dowed to the ex- tent of approxi- mately $10.000.000. The “big out- doors.” as he calls it, has & no more ardent champion than Senator Hawes. An en- thusiastic and expert fisherman and buntsman, during a period of a half century he has gone there to escape the “too sure-ness” of the city. In his own words: *“The camp fire makes the radiator mdre endurable for me: the flapiack, the bacon and the browned fish bring the ‘come-back’ after hard work and the hotel menu.’ 8ince he has been in Congress—first as & Representative and then a Sena- tor—Senator Hawes has done much for conservation. He introduced the bill which ~<ed the District of Columbia to the .m- mercial sale of black bass. Incidentally, his love for this species of fish prompt- ed him to_write a book, “My Friend the Black Bass.” He introduced and obtained passage of the Ilrvber Mississippl river fish and game refuge bill. He played an important part in the mnce of the fish and game sanctuary Baby Blankets o er & And he is now a member of the migatory bird conservation commission. He regards conservation both as a duty and a pleasure, believing that the ultimate success of the movement rests with the individual. Instead of send- ing a lawyer to call upon the polluter of streams, he advises that the gullty one be confronted by & committee of diplomatic men and women. “I always keep in mind,” says the Senator, “that there are other things besides fishing. “Sometimes the conservationist goes too far. He makes himself obnoxious by unreasonable demands. The thing to do is to adjust yourself to the chang- ing conditions, even though it interferes with the old ‘fishin’ hole’ and the favorite spot upon the river. “We cannot stop development.” Senator Hawes’ gospel as a conserva- tionist is that chivalry and “being & gentleman” should be shown in our contact with nature and wild things just as in our relations with our fellow men. In his estimation the highest type of man is the one who carries with him to his boat, or to the banks of a stream, the same consideration and courtesy ;fl:" he exchn'rllze‘;l‘lmh his n::llg:u in office, in the room, e or the church. ot ;pple-kiee Dessert.

Pink for a girl and blue for a boy are favorite colors, and at one time were universally used. The color is picked out first of all because it is a favorite of the mother’s rather than ng 2 wish, although that may nter the hopeful plans. Today these colors prevail, but others are often selected, pertly because enother may please the mother more, and partly to express the difference of individuality Knit blankats are so mads of yeru that one cs & of the e t to riete is coe of & slid vith a bend of contresting hue each end as & border. The solid BE PRESENTED. color may be white with bands of blue, pink or some preferred hue, or the main part of the blanket can be of the color, with white as contrasting border bands, Choose fine worsted (Shetland is popu- lar) for the knit blanket, and use a loose stitch and coarse needles. Even | knitting is all that is required in the | stitchery of such a blanket. | A crocheted blanket can be made in a single width or in strips, according to the stitch in which it is worked. In | the usual stitches a single width is best. {If Afghan stitch is used, it has to be {made in strips, because of the' tech- Inique of the stitchery. A blanket of | Afghan stitch in strips of alternating | white and blue or pink and white is | handsome, especially if the strips are | worked in cross-stitch. Afghan stitch |1s said to be the easiest of all crochet stitches. It shows distinct squares when completed, thus making stitchery on it | very simple. Ordinary filet or cross- |stitch patterns can be followed by Beauty Contests. It appears to be the fad to hold beauty contests. Cities throughout the country have indulged themselves in great orgies of enterprise and combed the ranks of the beautiful to determine which girl, above all others, is entitled to be a national competitor. This may or may not be important enough to justify the enormous amount of energy required, but, as the gentle- man who has been sold a gold brick said upon discovery of the fraud, “I have my doubts of it.” Beauty, of course, is only skin fle(‘r. In view of this, beauty contests should be judged for complexions. Real beauty is not to be found in a blank but sym- metrical or gracefully defined set of features. One of the most genuinely beautiful young women I know would not survive the first elimination tests of a beauty contest such as is held frequently now- adays. Still, in my judgment, she re- mains the most beautiful young woman of my acquaintance. She has beauty of character. And that beauty asserts itself impressively and appealingly on her face and in her eyes and manner. I really pity girls who become pro- fessional beauties. Other girls of the same order of intellect point them out and say: “There goes So-and-So, who won the beauty contest at So-and-So.” Poor rirl who wins a beauty contest! If she has any other qualities at all, they are soon obscured in the conver- sational publicity she gets. Moreover, she becomes a target for malicious criticism. In addition to everything else, just what purpose does a beauty contest serve? What good does it do the girl who wins? My notion is that it does her utterly no good at all, and, if any- thing, some harm. I have lately inquired into the ulti- mate careers of several girls who won beauty contests. Three of them had Jobs as chorus girls and one was en- gaged to play a small part in a movie. My feeling is that they are used in promotion schemes for the profit of others and nothing else.

THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE You have only to note its becoming jabot collar that detracts from the breadth of the cross-over bodice.

The days elapsed, the weeks went by, and Andree came no more; perhaps he sent a hope- less cry from some storm-beaten shore. ‘The years went by and brought no word on which we could depend, although at divers times we heard weird tales about his end. And ancient people can re- call that time, so far away, when An- dree’s name in hut and hall was spoken every day.

September 22, 1808.—There was gen- eral rejoicing among the residents in the vicinity of Sixth and Seventh streets and Pennslyvania avenue when permission was granted by the city authorities to lay water pipes under- ground along the streets in the squares on each side of Pennsylvania avenue between Sixth and Seventh streets northwest from the famous spring on C street, not more than several blocks away. Advantage of this official per- mission was taken forthwith. This was the first water service of the kind enjoyed by the Nation's| Cavital. | ‘While the city Jaw granted this privi- | lege to all the inhabitants of these two squares, yet that it was mainly for the | purpose of permitting John Underwood, | owner of the C street spring, and also | of a hotel nearby on Pennsylvania ave- | nue, leased to George W. Lindsay. to enjoy the benefits of the spring water on the premises. | The first water supply of the city | came entirely from springs, either dug in the back yards of residents for their private use or from wells dug by the city government on the streets for the use of all persons. One-half of the cost of these public wells was assessed against the property of citizens living | in_the immediate vicinity of the wells. | Nearly all persons who can afford it are having wells dug for themselves. There was fear at first that per- mission to dig wells in the ground would result. in disease from contamin- ated water, as it had done in Philadel- phia, but fortunately this was largely prevented by the prohibition of the fathers agaihst open sewage for the various homes. Persons found that pumps in their own yards, not to speak of pumps on the street corners, were frequantly a great nuisance. This was especially true on wash days, or in the Winter when the pumps froze. It took five years to persuade the city authorities to grant permission to con- struct pipes along the streams to public hydrants. At first it was not thought of going any further than this, but later | when persons were allowed to tap the mains and conduct the water into their own yards or even their own kitchens, the improvement was oonsidered very | great indeed, Sand Tarts.

P. “I BESEECH YOU,” HE PLEADED, “ In 336 AD. the long reign of Con- stantine the Great was drawing to its close. The Roman Emperor was not well. Premonitions that his end was near seized him from time to time. The hot baths of Constantinople gave him no relief, nor did a season of rest at Helenopolis. In the Church of Lucian the Martyr there, prayers were offered for his re- covery. Still he grew worse. “The time has come,” Constantine told himself, “when I must formally embraée Christianity.” He, the ruler of the world, proceeded haltingly to the church and, falling upon his knees on the hard floor, con- fessed his sins and prayed to be puri- fied of them. From Helenopolis, Contsantine pro- ceeded to his palace at Nicodemia. ‘There he sent for a number of bishops and made public confesson of his faith. “The moment for which I have prayed and thirsted has come at last,” | he said—"the moment when I may re- | ceive the seal of immortality.” | The Bishop Eusobius of Nicodemia | performed the rite of baptism. Con- | stantine was clad in spotless white and | lay upon a snowy bed. His captains, coming to take leave of | him, wept. ay, do not do so,” said Constantine; “for indeed, I tell you, I have received assurance of being worthy of eternal life.” Calmly he awaited the event of death, Why did Constantine, who had so long been a believer, who had made Christianity the Roman state religion, who had built church after church throughout his empire, delay so long his formal confession of faith? Very likely, as long as he was able to rule, he did not wish to alienate entirely his pagan subjects. Constantine had been reared a pagan under the Emperor Diocletian. His father, Constantius, the commander in | Britain, believed in one God, but Con- | stantine did not come under the par- ental influence until just before the death of Constantius. It was not until | he set out on the progressive moves which were to make him the master of the empire that he turned Christian, Invading Italy, Constantine felt tat his cause needed the favor of a divinity mere powerful than those of the Ro- mans. He offered up a prayer to the God of his father, “I beseech you,” he pleaded, “to de-| clare whom Thou art.” an Until Dying GLASS. “TO DECLARE WHOM THOU ART.” ing up, Constantine saw just above it cross of radiant light, on ‘whicl the inscription “Conquer by this.’ He became the first Christian Roman Emperor, a step tremendously impor- tant to history.
