Old French
Beauty Secret

Mile. De Lores, the famous
French actress, who recently ar
rived in this country and who is
now in her 65th year, has aston
ished everyone who has seen her,
by her exquisite complexion and
clear. smooth skin which Is not
marred by a single line or wrinkle.
When asked to explain how she
had retained her marvellous girlish
beauty, she replied that she had
always practiced one of the Oldest
which for years was jealously
guarded by the court ladies of Ma
poleon the First. 1t consists of
laying a warm cloth on the face
each night before retiring for
about one minute and then when
the cloth is removed, a generous
amount of ordinary am-o-nized
cocoa cream should be applied over
the entire face and neck, massage
it gently into the skin with the
finger tips for about two minutes,
then wipe off the surplus with a
soft, dry cloth. Mile. De Lores
says that any American woman
who has wrinkles and large pores
and quickly overcome these de-
stroyers of beauty by the use of
this simple yet delightful and ma
tural Beautifier, which is inexpen-
sive and can be found at almost
any good druggists.
The above, coming as IL does
from such a connoisseur of beauty,
should appeal strongly to every
lady who appreciates what a fair
face means to the gentler sex.

silver perch has come to parity with
a goldfish, and q simple herring, not
withstanding his seantiness Of meat and
his multiplicity of bones. holds himself
at the former price Of a'big black bass.
Washingtonians should not place all
the blame on the fish. Part of the blame
must be borne by the people. They have
not dealt fairly with the fish. They
have slain them without reason and out
of season. They have shown neither pity
nor remorse for maternal fish and have
caught the little fellows, too young for
use, and let them perish. Man has pol
luted the rivers and driven-m millions of
the FISH from their ancestral homes, By
pouring foul foods into the rivers they
have discouraged the return of migra-
tory fish. 1t may be discourteous to
say that some men have lacked fish
s,,nse, but such is the fact.
However, there are hopeful times
aSsad The wise men of the fish com
mission are exerting themselves in the
good work of making two fish swim
where not one swan before. These men
are laooring both in the interest of fish
and men. Close to Washington is fish
hatchery station, the importance of
which is understood by relatively few
persons i'll the city This plant is at
organs Point, on the Maryland side of
the river between Fort Washington and
Marshall Hall. 1t was set up there in
1892. having been removed from Fcrt
Washington. where il was established in
1880. From this hatchery millions of lit
tie shad and perch arc annually set free
in the Potomac and its creeks and some
are sent away for release in distant
waters. The report of the commissioner
of fisheries shows that during the last
fiscal year there we're distributed from
the Bryans Point hatchery 100000
shad and 100000 perch. Millions of
the shad were released at the Highway
bridge, Oxon run, Swami creek, Little
Hunting creek, Dogue creek, Oecoquan
creek, Pamunkey creek, Pohiek creek
and Chapmans Point, in addition to
those set free i'll the broad Potomac off
organs Point and Mount Vernon.
About 10000, 200 baby yellow perch were
given their liberty in those Potomac
creeks called Piscataway, Accokeek,
Dogue, Pamunkey, Swarm and Broad.
This work goes on year after year. and
is in progress now. 1t should be in
creased and will be increased as ap-
preparations by Congress allow.

Congress and Its Work.

The suggestion that Congress take a
recess of ten days. to enable senators
and representatives to go home and
stump for the new liberty loan, was not
happy.
They will be better employed in
Washington. Here work confronts them
that nobody else can do; and it is work
of the highest importance, and pressing
in the extreme.
The liberty loan is. of course, impor
tant and pressing, too. The money is
necessary. Time for raising is short.
Much needs to be explained to the peo-
pie.
But for this work recruits can be
found in many quarters. Professional
do it, and are at the call of the authori-
ties. An army OF them can be put into
action on the briefest notice. A can
vass extending from ocean to ocean can
be inaugurated on a single signal.
Senators and representatives have no
time for other labors than those for
which they have been chosen. They are
in legislative commission. And legisla-
tion is at present the word. A mass of
it impends. Committees in both houses
are very busy. Some are on the eve
of making reports.
When those and other reports are
made, the debates on them will possess
much interest for the country. The
people are following developments close
y; and the politicians, Doth in and ouS
Of Congress, are aware of the fact.
Congress. then, must attend to its bust
ness; which, In volume and difficulty, is
great. It cannot put on a substitute.
It cannot postpone. In some fashion, it
must perSorm.
The fourth month Of the session draws
to . close. Not many bills have been
passed. But a number are being licked
into shape, and presently will come up
for open discussion and amendment.
Moreover, as the spring has arrived, war
developments in the field may be looked
for. Nearly anything might issue from
the chaos in Russia. while interest in
the situation on the western front is in
tense.
Congress should sit tight, and keep
tn eyes strictly and steadily on its own
proper functions. No limit is fixed to
tho session II all necessary WORK can
be performed in the next three months,
vel and good If not; if six more
months should prove necessary, the time
should be put in willingly and indus
riously.

A State Boundary Case.

Time was when boundary disputes
between the states of this Union were
no. uncommon. Owing to the condi-
tons in which the original and subse-
ouent commonwealth were defined Their:
were frequent controversies over the
running of lines. During recent years
these differences have been practically
all adjusted. and it is rare that a case
has come to court of this nature. The Su-
preme Court, however, has recently ruled
on state boundary line, with Arkansas
and Tennessee as litigants. The ques-
ton arose as to where lies the "thread
of the stream" which separates the two
states. Inasmuch as this stream is the
Mississippi, which has temperamental
disposition to shift its channel from
time to time, the division mark has never
been clear. Now the Supreme Court has
ruled that the 'threado lies in the mid
die of the main channel of navigation
at low water stage, as the beo existed
at the time of the treaty with Great
Britain in 1855. A commission is to be
appointed to fix the boundary. This will
be an interesting research to determine
just exactly where the Mississippi, if it
had suddenly dried up, wonld finally
have vanished from view 135 years ago
Considering the vagsries of the father
of waters the commission may not have
an altogether easy time in deciding just
where an Arkansas sheriff has jurisdic-
ton and where Tennessee constable
can make an arrest.

Roosevelt in Maine.
his is from Augusta, Me:

Ills ID lIOiu auSustSt,
doubt as to whether his health would
permit him to address the state repub-
Ecan convention at Portland on March
% was set at rest today by Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, who notified Frank J..
Ham, chairman of the committee, that
he would be on hand as scheduled"
Mr.. Roosevelt is very popular with
the Maine republicans. At their inyi-
tation he participated in their cam
paign IN 1916. and received very warm
welcome. His work was praised as
factor in the result Maine that year
heartened the party with substantial
republican majority.
For two reasons. this Maine event will
command national attention. It will be
the first convention of importance of
the year. Curiosity will be keen as to
the platform. How will war matters
be treated! How will domestic issues
be handled7 AS members of Congress
are to be elected this year, the con-
vention's dehverance should embrace po-
litical questions.
Will Mr.. Rooscvclt's speech be accept
ed as sort of republican keynote! He
feels strongly about the war. Likewise,
he has definite views about domestic
problems. He is not man of evasions.
He rarely minces his words. It is never
difficult to tell where he stands on any
proposition.
# his strength has returned to stay,
he will appear later in other states. He
will be scheduled for considerable stump
ing. In his own state he will lend a
hand. And the New York campaign, as
respects both state and national candi-
dates, will be a hummer. Both parties
will strive with might and main for New
York this year.
At one time bull moosery was an in
fuence to be reckoned with in the Pine
Tree state, and at that time Mr. Roose-
welt was the bull moose national leader
to his old associations. Have the bull
moosers of Maine followed him back
home? II so, we shall see an fash
toned stand-up fight between the repub-
hcans and the democrats. The state
normally is republican; but the demo
Gratis have won some victories in the
past quarter century, and a democratic
United States senator from Maine has
but recently retired from Congress.
The Maine republicans, as thei1
brethren elsewhere, are supporting the
| war. So that the coming contest where
it touches the war will have relation
| only to the manner in which hostilities
on our part are being conducted.

A Bright Home Garden Prospect.

Evidence that the people of Washing
ton will do their bit in the matter of
home gardening was afforded by the
meeting held the other night at the
District building. Forty-three citizens
associations and civic bodies we're rep
resented, their delegates pledging them
selves to undertake Immediately to or
gani1e clubs to put overy foot of avail
able ground in the District under cul-
tisation. The truck farmers have
pledged the fullest possible activity pro-
Ided lahea can be secured, and alto
gether a much better outlook presents
itself than short time ago, when it
was feared that there would be a short
age of food supplies in Washington.
This is case in which every little
helps. The smallest garden is a con-
tribution- A single row of onion sets
viii add to the food stock. There is
hardly a yard in Washington that pn-
not support few potato plants.
Instructions for successful home gar.
dening can be secured from headquar-
tiers. The experience of the past is
available for all amateur crltivators of
the soil and mistakes can be avoided by
little study in advance. The kind of
seed to use, how to prepare the soil
how to keep the gardens in good order
all this can be ascertained. Through
the organization of garden clubs infor
nation of this sort can be spread uni
versaHy, and every garden started under
the best conditions for success.

rushed to their shelters, crying. ~The
Americans are coming"
Our men have not been in the war
long enough to gain q repatstion for par
ticolar. bloodtmrstiness, but evidently
. belief prevails in Germany that the
American forces are efficient Perhaps
this is why the German commanders,
as soon as our men had reached the
front trenches, began to attack them.
Maybe they were trying to demonstrate
that the Americans were easily whipped,
that they had no stamina or spirit. It
so the effort has failed, although tho
high command may have spread false
reports. Evidently the people Of Cob
lenz, at any rate, regard the American
fighters with respect.
Secretary Baker, in commenting upon
the state of our preparations the other
day, said that he was perfectly satisfied
with the progress we have made in our
airplane training. Presumably, in
short time the American aerial service
will be proportionately as active as those
of the Pritish and the French. Our
men have been praised for their adapta-
hility in training, and doubtless as soon
as the machines are available, which will
be at an early date, American aviators
will be in very person spreading terror
through the Rhine valley in pursuance
of the policy of reprisal that Germany's
persistent bombing of unfortified cities
and slaughter Of civilians has rendered
necessary.
