WASHINGTON, April 2l-President
Wilson is beginning to torment congress-
Hints have come from the White House
that while Mr.. Wilson has no desire to
keep congress continuously in session
during the hot summer months of the
campaign, nevertheless he may consider
such a course if the legislative branch of
the government endeavors to adjourn
without enacting laws on the several
ing and governmental economy recon-.
mended by the chief executive.
Congress doesn't want to work here
this summer. Individual members ar,
anxious to be in their districts helping
themselves and the candidates on tn,
top of their respective tickets. Demo
Gratis are equally eager to be in the cam
paign, but Mr.. Wilson is a hard task
master and has managed throughout hi
administration to keep congress longe
I'at work than any other President in re
cent years.
But it is significant that the Whit
/ House is beginning to ask questions
What, for instance, has congress don
about tariff legislation, excess profit
taxes, help for the returned soldiers, an
sundry other measures?
OF course, congress noted very prop
erly the other day that the Presider
himself was looking for summer HON

MARCH IN Topeka
1t Is Beginning of Spring in Kan
sas-Hard Time of Year on Fruit
Buds.
nr S d. Tlorn. U. s. Nieteorologist.

BY >. u. tlOrus L. = NeteOIOAOSibt-
March is the beginning of spring in
Kansas, but fully deserves it's reputa-
ton for being a changeable month,
as shown by the 80 years record COM
piled by the weather bureau. Twice
in that period it has averaged mllder
than April following and twice colder
than February preceding. In 1906 1t
was colder than any month of the
winter preceding. while several times
in the past 80 years the mercury has
gone above the 90 degree mark on
March 4, 1891, a minimum of DE-
gree below zero was recorded at TO
peka, which is the only instance on
the local record, however, when the
temperature this time of the year mas
been as low as zero.
The normal afternoon temperature
of March ranges from As degrees the
fore part to 60 degrees the latter part
and the low mark of the night from
"a degrees the fore part to SO degrees
the latter part
March has the reputation of being
the windiest month of the year, but
the records show that, in Kansas at
least, April surpasses it. 1t also de-
serves tardy credit for having more
sunshine than any of the winter
months and fully as much as April.
Measurable precipitation falls at
Topeka on an average of one day IN
four during March and the total Tor
is almost twice the normal for Feb
ruary In the past % years snow
has covered the ground on an average
of four days during this month and
some of the heaviest amounts ever
recorded have fallen at this time OF
the year. March, In 1900, there was
1874 inches of snow on the ground at
one time.
Sometimes March is mild. sun
shiny, and almost balmy, but, while
this is fine weather for comfort ana
coal piles, it is about the worst brand
possible FOR fruit buds, which are
forced ahead of the season to be en-
dangered by late freezes, and for
wheat, which requires cool, damp
weather at this time of the year 10
make the right kind of growth and
stool properly.
AS a rule it is possible to do great
deal of spring blowing in Kansas this
month, plant the early potatoes, ano
COW most of the oats. Grass nearly
always greens up under the influence
of the mild weather. Sometimes corn
planting is begun in the southeastern
counties and peaches plums and april
cots bloom in that section.

Good Skin Oil.

I have expatiated in several talks
upon the importance Of the natural
sebum or skin oil secreted by the
sebaceous glands Of the skin and
scalp, and the importance OF this
oily substance in keeping the skin
soft, clean, smooth. warm and
beautiful. It is equally important
in keeping the hair clean. life-liks
and beautiful.
4 great many young women-ths
most gullible Of the credulous sex
ruin their compilations and in
jure their hair by using cosmetics
which destroy the natural skin oil.
A great many others make the mis-
take of attributing imaginary beau
tifying effects to all sorts of greasy
and greaseless cosmetics and add
ing fuel to the fire in the way OF
too much oil at a time of life
youth-when the natural secretion
Of the sebum is likely 10 be a little
excessive. A young woman has to
be slightly above the moron grade
Of intelligence in order to realize
that she can't feed her face except
through the esophagus.
As We begin to get along, not SO
much in years as in dignity, let us
say, that false dignity which makes
us old before Cur time. We tend to
dry up. The skin and hair are less
oily than in earlier years, and var
ious skin and scalp troubles due
to or attended by excessive dryness
or lack OF skin oil add to our
constantly increasing collection Of
tribulations.
What kind Of grease or oil is best
to apply to skin or scalp to relieve
this senile state?
All sorts Of preparations have
been suggested and used with more
or less satisfaction. AS | have
said in an earlier talk in this SER

pared by skilled pharmacist on
order, after the formula and
method given in the U. S. Pharma-

which is the official name for cold
cream. (Readers will please not
ask me to give the recipe for cold
cream for it can't be satisfactorily
made except by the pharmacistD
The drawback about artificial
skin oils, as compared with the
natural sebum, is that they do not
last as long as the skin. They dry
up too quickly, or disappear by at
triton or something-of course, no
Toll applied to the skin is absorbed
in any appreciable amount, con-
trary to popular fancy. One
should use any such oil sparingly,
not in sufficient amount to make
the skin unpleasantly greasy. 1t
has been estimated that the normal
daily average quantity of ysebum
secreted by the skin is about a
