PEARLS ADVICE

Another recipe for preserving beauty and youthfulness has just been given to the waiting world of women! This Is the recipe of an ac- tress noted for both these qualities Pearl White. 'No, I don't com pound a lot of smelly ointments,' laughed Miss White. 'T just get a new hobby. I believe hobbies are the best conservatives of youth and beauty. Hobbies are the arch enc mics of rust and ruts, both of which in turn are the arch enemies of a woman's youth and good looks. The tragic thing in the lives of so many women is that they settle down; they get into a groove. I should like to see a law compelling every woman to acquire a hobby-a big, absorb ing interest that would so fill her mind that there would be no chance for wrinkles and stiff joints to get hold oe her."

SHAKESPERIAN PLAYS ENJOYED
 BY DEAF MUTES

Shakespeare, the cosmopo1ite, has appeared on every stage in every tongue in the world, but it remained for New York city to translate him into deaf and dumb,'' and Hamlet and Richard III' in the sign Ian guage are the latest contributions to the stage here.
 It is at St. Ann's Church for Deaf Nutes that Shakespeare appears in this newest translation St. Ann's, which is the only church for deaf mutes in the city, is one of the inn portant New York institutions which will benefit from the Nationwide Campaign of the Episcopal Church.
 A full sized stage, costumes, foot lights, all do their part in helping to produce the master in real dra- matic style. Nothing is missing except the audible voices of the players. Pantomine serves to portray the plot, and twink1ing fingers spell out the match1ess lines. Falstaf is just as uproriousIy funny. Hamlet's dilemma is just as narrowing and Richard the Thirds fight just as thrilling in sign language as in English or French or Sanskrit, and Shakespeare is by far the best box office attraction that St Ann's ever offers.
 St. Ann's has about 800 comr1uni- cants, all deaf 1nutes, who go from all parts of the city, from Long Isl and and New Jersey to attend ser vices and club meetings at the church.
 The sermon and prayers are given in the sign language, responses are read and answered by the congrega- ton in the same manner, and a 'choir" spells out the words of hymns on the fingers. Rev. John Chamber lain: rector, is an expert in the language, and has been in the church for forty eight years. His assistant, / Rev. John Kent, Is deaf himself.
 Sunday school classes at St Ann's are made up of children from Fan wood, a school for deaf rnutes It is rather remarkable that most of the children of the conmunicants of St. Ann's have their hearing and speech. They have no need, therefore, of the church that their parents attend, but nevertheless they are just as active rin the Church's Nationwide Cam paign.
 The members of St Ann's engage in every church activity that any other congregation would. Lectures church fairs, athletic clubs, sewing societies, are all a part of church like that is vigorous and many sided.

AIRPLANES MAY
 BE USED ID MAP AMAZON COUNTRY

Para, Brazil. Dec. 2.-Airplanes may be employed to map the valley of the great Amazon river. If the French are successful in their effort to use aircraft. for surveying the routes of the rivers of French Guiana, it Is understood the Brazilian gov ernment will apply the same method to the survey of the Amazon and it's affluents. A French company is said to have been formed in Cayenne, with hangars, on the Maroni River, and French aviators with flying experi- 5ence gained in the war are being furnished by the government.
 In addition to making maps, the machines will be employed for car rying valuable freight, mails and passengers. There are immense rivers in French Guiana which, be- cause of the presence of many ra- pids, are now only navigable in ca noes which take weeks to transport freight over distances which the hy- droairplanes can cover in as many hours, with always large stretches of smooth water offering a suitable surface for landings and ''take-offs'.
 The freight charges are said to be
 
 consist mainly of gold, balato and es- sence of rosewood which are the principal exports of the colony. The passenger business is not expected to be heavy.
 These hydroairplanes will also be used for prospecting the forests for balato trees which grow in groups so that the foliage can, it is said, be readily distinguished by aviators flying low over the tops of the forest trees. E, In the past the securing Of fresh sources of balato has been work of much danger and difficulty. Specially trained balato workers. well armed, travelling in bands of fifteen or twenty, have been employed to explore the forests and they had to cory with them supplies to cover many months.

The Man Higher Up"
Grows Common Here
As SkysCrapers Rise

Washingtonians arc living and
working on higher plane. Liter
ally speaking. they arc rising in
the world" year after yea~.
Not only are offices constantly
going higher. but residences and
apartments are heing planned to
reach nearer to the skies. While
the skyscraper yoarnings Of local
builders will probably always be
held in check by the building re-
strictions and regulations Of the
Fine Arts Commission, neyerthe-
less, there is a distinct tendency
toward higher levels.
Last week a prominent real es-
tate firm refused an attractive
offer Of a lease on ground floor
suite Of offices. They preferred
their present second-story quar-
ters. Several banks are utilizing
the second story OF their build
ings for commercial and other
purposes.
At one time a thrce-story apart
mcnt was the highest that could
be built without an elevator. be-
cause people would not climb be-
yond that level. Now apartments
without lifts go up four and five
stories and find ready occupancy.
