HEALTH SEEKERS
IN NEED OF HOME

Miss Mary Kimball. of Waco.
Tex, is studying conditions in Al
Ibuquerque, N. Mex. for the Young
women's Christian Association,
with a view to the establishment
there of a home for women and girls
who have come to that part of the
country to fight tuberculosis. These
women are usually far from their
homes and families, and many of
them are extremely short of funds.
The housing situation in Albu-
Queraue Is the same problem which
Is found all over the country. Such
new buildings as are now going up
are mainly dwelling houses for
families, and will not offer any op-
Iportunities for the transient women.
A resident house to accommodate
lseventy-five or more would be more
than welcome for the girls who are
in fair health. For those who are
still really i'll. some other provision
should be made. Miss Kimball is
finding a number of girls in the
city who are in great need of friend
ly attention and interest from some
one, or some organization. which
can to slight extent replace the
care of family and friends.
The work for women health-seek-
ers in Albuquerque already includes
a rooms registry service, and an en-
ployment service for girls who are
able to work. The Y w C. A. gets
in touch with the young women who
come to Albuquerque by means of
Travellers Aid agents. who meet
them at the station when they come
to the city, and direct them to such
accommodations as are available in
the crowded city.

INTERPRETERS USED
IN BUENOS AYRES

South America boasts so great a
variety of nationalities in her lar
ger centers that interpreters are
necessary in all sorts of public
places to straighten OUT linguistic
tangles. Miss Irene Sheppard, who
has Just returned to this country
after nine years as a Y. W. c. A.
secretary in Buenos Ayres, says that
she would have been helpless with
out these official interpreters, who
saved her frequently from embar-
RAISING situations in her work with
girls and young women in that city.
The interpreters wear impressive
uniforms, with shining buttons,
white belts, and helmets like our
firemen. They wear also a plaeard
on their left sleeve which informs
the public of their mission. They
are on duty wherever cosmopolitans
gather-at the theaters, in the shop
ping districts, and particularly at
the docks. They are of a variety of
nationalities themselves. The staff
at Buenos Ayres includes a Dutch
man who speaks Dutch, Spanish,
French, Belgian, English, German.
Italian. Norwegian and Malayan. A
Turk on the stanf> speaks Turkish.
Greek. italian and Albanian, and an
other Turk speaks, Turkish, Span
ish, English, French and Egyptian.

.THELMA GIVEN
PLAYS VIOLIN
Artist Displays Mastery Of
Bow in Debute at
National.

Thelma Given, vioIinist and lat
est graduate OF the Auer school,
made her washington debut at the
National ,Theater yesterday after
noon under the management Of T
Arthur Smith.
The -Chaconne" of vitali. which
opened the program, belongs to the
early Italian school and Is much
in the style OF Bach. This compost
ton is technical rather than mel
odic, containing double-stopping,
arpeggios and all things which &c
to comprise the sphere of bowling
Miss Given played this work with
much warmth and fre.
The Paganini Concerto in d ma
jor. which followed. Is an extremely
difiicult composition. The artist
took the double-third runs beauti-
fully in time. The running scales
were very clean and the harmonics
true. This young lady has con-
quered violinstic difficulties which
are the envy of some our premier
violinists, and her staccato and
speccato bowling was delightful. >
The "En Bateau" of Debussy was
an exquisite bit of atmospheric
melody. more like dainty lace than
music. The Norwegian Dances" OF
Halvorsen were played with much
native color and good taste. Here
Miss Given convinced her audience
that she Is possessed of real tenn
permanent and has a mine of technic
to draw upon. The Russian Jew
ish Lullaby" by Achron was very
soulful and the Chopin 'Nocturne"
arranged by Auer was played with
a thorough understanding OF the
wishes of the great Pole, the Auer
adaptation adding quite q little to
It's effectiveness.
The closing numbers were the
Kreisler arrangement of La Gil
tana," the well-known Song of In
dia," by Rimsky- Korsakoff. and the
'Tortini" variations by Kreisler
In the last number the composer
took the most difficult variations
OF Tortini and made them more
difficult. but the violiniste was
equal to every occasion.
Thelma Given. a girl Of elfin-lfke
personality and infinite charm
made a deep impression. She was
notably supported by Mr.. Richard
Hageman at the plano.

Real Wonder-Worker
For Winkied Faces

Those who have tried all sorts of
so-called wrinkle removers" in a
vain effort TO lose those unwelcome
traces of age, illness or worry, ca n
scarcely hnd words TO express their
delight with the wonderful saxolita
formula once they have given it a
trial. The success of this method
Is due not alone to its marvellous
effective the deepest lines
and crowsfeet as well as upon the
very finest ones-but also. TO its sur
prfsingly quick action and its entire
harmlessness. Its simplicity is an
other commendable feature, for one
need only dissolve an ounce OF
powdered sa1olite in a half pint %
witch hazel. and battle the face in
this solution. At once a remarkable
transformation is beheld.
1t is not only the effect on
wrinkles and creases that Is 50
noticeable, but facial contour is re-
markably improved and the face
looks much younger. One should be
sure to ask the druggist for the
powdered saxolite. The lotion being
so refreshing, is particularly CRATE
full to tired faces.-Adv.

Jadeing from reports from druggists

An examining physician for one of the

common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-

that they have the disease. 1t is on sale

warmly urged him to come again. He

Everyone that wants better health is

to try one box Of eatonic from your
