Washington the Home Of the Man on Horseback

WASHINGTON is known as the
Wv home of the man on horseback, :
and it gets this somewhat unique title
because OF the number of equestrian
statues in Washington. Most OF the
outdoor sculptures in the National
capital are of military order, and
most of this statuary has been sup
piled by military organizations. And
while these organizations may be
powerful enough in hauling in the
money they certainly do not Know
how to spend it artistically, for a
greater lot of rubbish never Uttered
up a city than these equestrian
statues in Washington.
Among the soldiers Of the Revolu-
tionary war represented in the cap
itars squares and circles are Wash
ington and Greene. Jackson and
Scott belong to the period OF 1872;
the latter also to that of the Mexican
war. OF Civil war leaders there Is a
far more plentiful supply, among them
Sherman. Sheridan Thomas. McPher-
son, Mcclellan, Hancock and Logan,
with Farragut and Dupont thrown in
to represent the navy.

With the black painted English fur
niture, which is again somewhat in
favor for American houses. there is
being used the background chintzes
and cretonnes. on which the same
garlands, flower baskets, festoons and
medallions that decorate the furniture
are profusely scattered.
Other hangings which are used with
the painted furniture are those OF
printed linens which should have light
backgrounds. says the New York Her
aid, and SO remove the objection that
some may find to the background
chintzes.
The old designs may be matched ex-
actly in the chintzes and linens, and
in addition TO their use as hangihgs
these fabrics are used for the loose
cushions which are needed to make

steamship Is bringing its quota OF
Americans from Europe. society In

sooner had Marchese Cusani, the Ital-

Washington than 1t became known

HOME MASSAGE TREATMENT
Method by Which the Busy Woman
May Keep Herself in Good Phys
ical Condition.

In an article in the Woman's Home
Companion on Massage, appears the
following:
Even a woman who has but little
time to devote to it may have good
complexion and not get sallow and
wrinkled. These exercises, planned
originally for the business woman, are
equally good for the tired housemoth-
er.
Here is what you need: Plenty of
soft water; one pound of finely ground
oatmeal from the grocer; bottle Of
almond oil, or a jar of good cold
cream; a packet of fuller's earth for
face powder; cup Of boiling milk
every night.
Pour half or quarter of the cup Of
boiling milk into the washbasin, and
quickly with your hands rub the milk
all over your face several times. Rub
it well in; wash in it, little as it is. I
still declare, after many years, that
there is nothing in the world so re-
freshing and soothing after hard
days work as this. The milk in the
basin is black? Yes, it always is. It
cleanses the skin thoroughly. Now
sip the rest of the cupful of milk very
slowly. Nothing like hot milk for
overtired, strained nerves.
Remove bolster and pillow from
the bed; lie down absolutely fiat on
your back for at least five minutes,
arms extended. feet extended; draw
several deep signing breaths, release
them very slowly, relax every muscle
in your body. Then moisten finger
tips with cold cream or almond oil,
and for ten minutes or quarter of
an hour, still lying down, very, very
lightly do the simple exercises. and do
not forget, whatever you do, that hard
pressure will ruin any skin, by
stretching it. Then, with soft rag,
wipe off the superfiuous oil. In the
morning take some oatmeal in the
palm of the left hand, mix little hot
water with it to form paste, and
rub it well over the face. Rinse it off
and dry your face with soft towel,
using the three exercises. IL your
skin is shiny, dust over lightly with
cotton wool dipped in fuller's earth.
These exercises must be done regular
iy every evening.
Beauty points: Paint is dirt on
the face, and means dirt on the mind
Get good sleep before twelve o'clock
at night. Fresh air means fresh
skin: sleep with your bedroom win
dow wide open, top and bottom"

Has Not Doubt That Man Came From Monkey

and more especially those Of geologic
antiquity. shall present marked
morphologic differences, and that
these differences shall point in the d.
rection of more primitive forms.
No conclusion can be more firmly
founded than that man is product Of
an extraordinary progressive differen-
tiation from some anthropomogenic
stock, which developed somewhere in
the later tertiary among the primates.
He began then as an organism that
in brain and body was less than man,
that was an anthropoid. From this
stage he could not become at once as
he Is today, though in some stages Of
his evolution he may have advanced
by leaps, or at least more rapidly
than in others. He must have devel-
oped successfully morphologic modifi-
cations called for by bis advance to-

THAT it is the opinion OF the military
i experts of this country that the
aeroplane in the future will determine
the victor of battle, whether on land
or sea, was evidenced by statement
made the other day at the War col
lege by Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of
staff Of the army, just prior to start
ing on his annual tour of inspection of
the army posts.
Il wish 1t were possible" said Gen
eral Wood, "for every officer in the
army to make fight in an aero
plane with the army aviators. be-
neve that by this means we could OBJ
tain enough officers willing to make a
life study Of the great possibilities of
the aeroplane as an instrument Of
war-to make this country the fore
most in the world in aviation. We
were the first to recognize the posi-
bilities of the aeroplane In warfare,
but have been handicapped in further
ing their study by the small numbers
of officers willing to enter the avia-
ton school. Other countries, follow
ing ourlead, passed US in the appli-
iation of the aeroplane to military sci
ence. They have large corps of men
studying every possible phase OF the
aeroplane in warfare.
