MONKEiING WITH THE BUZZ

w 1T is very doubtful wisdom for one
to drag a secret society-as l.. O
Wilson is doing-into a political cam
paign to further his personal amb:
lions.
Mr.. Wilson is Grand Chancellor Of
the Negro Knights Of Pythias in this
State. In his several announcements
spread broadcast much stress is laid
upon this fact. In truth. this appears
to be the chief, if not the sole. claim
he lays to political prelcrment We
he2G that largely through his efforts
the passage Of anti-Secret society leg
islation was defeated and that he GOA
--tributed much. very much. toward the
death of certain separate coach meas
ures.
{, 1t may be that the writer's memory
is failing and he can no, now recall
the events to which these announce
ments. evidently allude, for his rec
. objection and the statements made in
t..ese ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS are considerably
al variance. For instance, when the
Carr anti-Negro fraternal society bill
was introduced in The lower House,
two years ago, Il copy of the bin was
Z sent to Mr. Wilson and the heads Ct
s. other Negro f"aternilies by The Adj
VOcate and the suggestion was made

organizations assembled here were de-
voting their time 10 selecting from
among their number a chairman and
" other officers to head The delegation
they were completing arrangements
for the meeting with the RepublicaH
senator's and The Governor.
+. IT'S true that Mr. Wilson delivered

Il of his protest was the esteem in which
he is held by the citizens Of his homo

FASHIONS IN BELTS

Lacking a smart belt, the tailored
worsted skirt and the tailored linen
shirtwaist costume OF the school
teacher or the Office clerk. is incom-
plete. If the figure is both slight and
abnormally long-wa.sted, the belt
may be three inches broad. In its
smartest expression. this accessory
is OF black patent leather, inlaid
through the centre with an inch-wide
band of white kid, is white satin
lined and fastens with a dull gold
buckle and slasp.
Also c~hic-looking is the broad belt
of taupe kid slashed to show facings
Of black velvet. separated by gun
mental ornaments and closing with q
trunk buckle of the same material.
Two gold or silver trunk buckles
run through with lap ends decorate
the centre of a smart narrow belt
that is two-thirds of black patent kid
and one-third in Indian red suede. OF
similar width are the belts of bur-
nished leather in black or brown on
white. decorated through the centre
with narrow straps of blue kid carry
ing a row of five tiny gilt buttons.
This type Of belt. like most of those
worn solely with a tailored skirt and
snirt, Is trunk buckle fastened.

Happy is the mother today if she
knows how to keep a healthy child
well and t o correct any existing un-
healthy conditions, very largely. IL not
entirely, through her knowledge OF
the chemistry of foods and the best
methods Of cooking them.
Children pass through certain
stages and require certain kinds and
quantities Of foods for building pur-
poses. So we will consider regular
table" children from the ages Of s
or 7 to u years.
The easiest way at the time a child
asks for any and all kinds of food is
to give 1t to him. 1t saves discus
sion, tears and time, and everyone is
apparently happy. But there comes
a day OF reckoning. Diverted and un-
derfed children are pitiable objects,
as they are usually nervous. irritable
and restless, Stomach-acnes for the
want of food, or toe much, on wrong
combinations.
It is impossible to plan the food for
children unless the mother or one il
charge has true and correct standards
of what constitutes perfect health. Il
we were living up to this Idea OF
right living ourselves the way is easy
for the children. For the mother
says:
There are, my children, all differ
emit natures and types. but all must
build flesh. bone. blood, hair, nails,
teeth and skin" Cereals contain the
necessary elements for the bone. But
ter, cream and olive oil, good fats,
heat and energy producers. Not in
fried foods, but butter on bread,
cream on cereal-no sugar-and oil
on dainty green vegetables; potatoes,
rice, hominy and white breads are
common, starchy foods. and their
great food value for the child de-
ponds upon the methods vi cooking.
For instance, a baked or carefully
boiled potato has food value, and is
worse than useless when fried. There
is no starchy vegetable so clean in
the system and so easily digested as
rice, when cooked in plenty of rapid
~ly-boiling water and simply served as
a vegetable. The same is true Of
macaroni- Whole wheat bread con
tains more mineral matter than white
bread, and is better for child-build-
ing.
Avoid sweets and give the children
fruits and salads. Boys and girls are
proud of fine, strong bodies. Teach
them that it is through good foods,
plenty of water, fresh air and exer-
else that they will develop their
bodies and grow strong men and

Refused to Shake Hands

Miss Doom:
Kindly settle this argument be-
Tween A and B.. A and B attended a
social gathering. When going home
"a shook hands with everybody except
one party. This party refused to
shake hands with a on account OF
hot being introduced. B say that the
party was perfectly right to refuse
90 shake hands without a personal
Introduction,
Yours respectfully,
A. X.
The party who refused to shake
hands was carrying out the letter of
the law, oblivious to the fact that
there is also a spirit which in most
cases is a safer guide than the letter.
IT, In the general introduction, the
hostess, overlooked these two, they
owe IL to- her to pass the matter on
pleasantly and not call attention TO
the fact that she had unconsciously
neglected them. How do you think
both the hostess and the party of the
mistaken hands would have felt had
A deliberately ignored her in the gem
eral l~eave-taking?
In my opinion, the party in ques-
tion was extremely rude. not only to
A, but to the hostess, who assumes
that her guests take it for granted
that she. viii not. knowingly invite
any undesirable person to meet them.
I am sure this persons actions
dafdpened the spirits of the whole
party. There are certain rules we
must all follow, but 1t is a poor rule
that admits of no exceptions.

signs for lamps and lamp shades.

anese vases in the attractive blue and
white or black, white and lacquer
red, or q deep bronze red. The shades
are marvels of art, combining most
exquisite Eastern silk embroideries,
gold lace and silk and metal fringe.
The embroideries are used as odd
panel inserts. either vertically or
horizontally. and the lace OF gold
finishes top and bottom over a soft
pleating of plain barmonizing silk as
well as joins the panels.

FOR THE BABY's COMFORT
BY MAY MANTON

Whateve- is simple and comfortable
as well as dainty Is ideal for the
baby. The little cape illustrated has
all these good features and so mus
appeal to every mother This one is
made Of broadcloth and the upper
cape and collar are scalloped and
buttonholed and trimmed with rows
Of tiny silk braid, and the result Is
charming. II this instance the under
cape is lined with thin while silk,
but a lining is not always necessary.
The cape has another advantage in
that it Is very easily adjusted, since
there are no troublesome sleeves to
to put ON, and this lack of sleeves
also simpiifes the making. There Is
q mood that can be drawn up over
the baby's head, and ;his is some
times preferred in place OF the little
round collar. If a lighter wrap is
wanted the upper cape can be
omitted. All the pretty, soft, white
wool material1 are appropriate for
the making. White cashmere or al
batross lined with washable silk in a
pale blue shade and bound on the
edges with blue ribbon would be very
dainty and attractive. A soft quality
Of flannel, outlined and bound on the
edges, would be useful. For the USE
full home wrapper the single cape of
outing flannel in pink or blue would
be most ~serviceeble.
The cape will require GA yards of
material q. 5Ix yards 81 or S1A yards
A. inches wide. with one-half yard of
silk for lining for hood.
The May Manton pattern of the
cape 5Ss7 is cut In one size for in

Treatment for Gray Hair
dear Miss Doom

- @Abo 1OOAA Hr
1 would be very much obliged to
You IL you would help me in this mat
ter: I am a girl IA years of age and
recently I find hat quite a few gray
hairs are growing in my hair. Please
let me know the cause of them and
how to prevent them. Please publish
the answer in the evening paper.
Thanking you in advance I remain.
NJ. Mem.
Premature grayness, unless caused
by illness, may almost always be
traced to an absence of oils in, the
scalp. Therefore, since you ind
: fsiiver threads among the gold"
when you are but IA, you should
work faithfully to supply those oils
without which the hair will probably
continue to whiten at a rapid rate. A
tonic that is recommended for this
purpose is composed of an ounce
each of mercury oleate and oil of
ergot. This is to be perfumed with
a few drops of oil of lavender and
applied directly to the scalp every
night by parting the hair in small
strands and rubbing the tonic on
with the tips of the fingers. The
scalp should then be massaged for
fifteen minutes. To do this place the
fingers firmly on both sides of the
head and move the knuckles while
the fingers remain stationary and
the scalp moves beneath them.
Indeed. any oil tonic such as vas
seine or crude oil applied directly
to the scalp and followed by the
massage will make the hair healthy.
and in this way stop the increase of
the silver strands.
Remember, in order to get any re-
suits from the treatment. it must be
followed faithfully every night.
Finally. let your hair get as much
air and sunlight as possible. AS you
are only IA you can easily manage
this by often wearing the hair hang
ing. confined oply by a loosely tied
ribbon.
