BATHROOM MANNERS

There is no way in which ones
good breeding, training and cleanly
habits are exhibited more forcibly
than in ones bathroom behavior
Carelessness, untidiness or lack of
thoughtfulness for others nowhere
shows up so unplea sanity as in this
tiny enclosure, which is, in most
cases, used by several persons for
the verge particular care of their
bodies.
A hostess told me once that she
almost invariably Judged the good
or bad bringing-up of her guests by
the condition in which they left the
bathroom. Water flung carelessly
around on the walls. the tiled floor.
and even on the towels; the bathtub
or wash bowl not scrubbed out after
being used, but left with a grimy
sediment adhering to the sides;
towels used so untidily that the inn
print of dirty fingers remains on
them, and these towels not folded
carefully over the rack but drawn
through by one corner, leaving a
shapeless hodge-podge of the ia
bric-all these unpleasant habits
mark the guest who is neither fas-
tidious about his own person nor
thoughtful for others.
The most immaculate, spotless care
should be taken of every piece of
bathroom equipment. The soap should
be rinsed after being used, and the
surplus water wiped out of the soap
rack. The face cloth should be
washed in soap, rinsed and hung up
neatly. Towels should be used only
to dry the face and hands, not to
clean them. and they should be re-
folded in the original folds and hung
with the initial outward. The tub
and bowl should be thoroughly
scrubbed out and rinsed. and ones
personal tooth brush, powder and
other convenience should le taken
back to the guest room.
A fault that is apt to be confined
to younger guests is that of being
noisy in the bathroom-splashing
noisily singing, whistling, and so on.
The trick of running silent bath is
not known by every one, yet the
noise of cataract of wato" filling
tub wakes many a guest in small
house. To obN.ate this, place a bath
spray over the faucet, and let the
tube lie on the bottom of the tub.
The tub will then fill silently, and no
one will be disturbed by it.

QUICK, SURE, SAFE
FOR PAIN AND COLDS

need for all time has been found in
Kozol. a new remedy for pain, and preven-
tive of colds and fevers. 1t is quick,
sure, safe. 1t is superior to all other
remedies-for headache, neuritis, neu-
ralgia. rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica:
colds and influenza malaria.
kozo is superior because it is more
rapid in its action than other remedies,
more reliable in it's effects--and abso-
-lutey safe. 1t may be taken freely
over prolonged periods without losing any
of its effectiveness. And it may be used
by everyone, even by those who cannot
tolerate aspirin. phenacetin and auinine.
This is due to the fact that the chemical
composition of Kozol is entirely different.
Modern science may well be proud of
Kozol, a most welcome newcomer IN the
medical world Wel-known hospitals have
been quick to grasp the privilege of add
ing it to their stocks of favored medi-
cines. Kozol has been put sale Tor
general use--in convenient tablet form.

Your Home and You
DRINKS THAT TICKLE THE
PALATE
BY HELEN KENDALL

No hostess is SO popular as the
one who provides refreshments that
depart from the old conventional run
of eatables and drinkables. A new
and novel sandwich, salads of new
and surprising combinations, and,
above all, soft drinks that are not 4
mere variation of iced tea, will give
distinction to her parties and make
her veranda much sought place on
a summer evening.
The present vogue of the various
fruit juices gives the home maker n
chance to invent her own beverages
There is on the market a bottled
product called five fruits" which
makes a delicious cool punch. Lo-
cranberry juice, raspberry juice, grape
juice. and other prepared fruit juices
may be combined in any number of
ways. and when poured over crushed
ice are delicious in color and flavor.
Some of the preserves and jellies
left over from winter, when melted
down and diluted make appetizing
additions to the punch bowl. Straw
berry jam may be melted down ami
strained, to lend its rich wine color
and spicy tang to a glass of orange
ade or lemonaCe. Another puZzling
and welcome connection is banana
lemonade. made by dropping whole
banana in bowl of lemonade for
several hours and lifting it out just
before the drink is served. The fla
Vor Will be noticeable, but not rec
ognizable, and will give rise to many
conjectures on the part OF your
guests.
Another interesting variation of
the summer drink is the joining
hands of grapefruit juice and melted
cranberry jelly. For those who like
tart flavors and do not care for the
very sweet beverages, this is ideal.
Lines also satisfy the palate of this
sort.
Even for the most informal every
day service, make your cooling drink
decorative. Hang a slice of orange
over the brim of the glass. put a
sprig of mint upright in it. and drop
a maraschino cherry into its depths.

Shopping and Parking.

Lifting the ban on downtown park

to break down the Washington routine
until it becomes necessary to change
our ways of living in order that the
Shrine crowd may be happy, and also
in order that We shall not be run over
or walked on during the busiest week
in Washington's history.
1t was good thing to give the new
no-parking regulations a try-out, so
that the city might have a full-dress
rehearsal of how to get to and from
home during Shrine week. 1t worked
well in the main. No doubt some in
durable automobilists stayed home be-
cause they dreaded the jolting of a
street car but most of the automobile
crowd got downtown and back home
without serious results. The walking g
was good and the exercise was, bene-
ficial. Other autoists got a taste of
street-car travel. perhaps the first
they have had since they bought the
family car a few months ago, and the
humping, pushing, elbowing and strap
hanging gave some of them a new out
look on life. The autoist who refused

tion may have found some difficulty in
finding d new curb-stall a mile from
the Office, but the experience will not
do him permanent harm. Altogether
the experiment was not so bad.
The no-parking ban has been lifted
until midnight May 81. A committee
or the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association called at the District
building, saw Commissioner Oyster,
who is in charge of police matters, and
told him that in the downtown district
the no-park and short-stop order had
cut shopping to the vanishing point.
Nobody wants to interfere with shop
ping. Shopping is one of the great
activities of the world. and next to
government it is, perhaps, the leading
industry in Washington.

local production were not susceptible
of being described with high moral
purpose. They were frankly lewd in

the attention of the law.
Condemnation through criticism of
plays of this character is futile, for
it only serves to advertise them and

1t would seem that the application of
the law is the only remedy to prevent
the pollution of the public mind
through the stage. Yet there is a
prejudice, well reasoned and justified,
against the imposition of censorship
depending upon the judgment of a few
individuals. In the case in New York
condemnation has been expressed by
first a grand jury returning an indict-
ment and a petit jury returning a
verdict. This perhaps is the safest
form of censorship.
In the trial in New York the de-
fense depended largely upon parallels,
quoting Old Testament Scriptures to
produce lewd texts in justification by
example. Also Shakespeare and some
of the older classic writer's. AS for
the Old Testament, it may be stated
that it is read with reverence and
the debasement of public taste and
morals. AS for the classic dramatic
writer's, it must be borne in mind that
their works are not now presented on
the stage in their. original forms, but
are modified and "cut" to conform to
the standards Of this age.

1t is well known that the radical

Edison May Be Right, But There

The alluring prospect which Thomas
Edison holds out of royal road to
learning by way of moving pictures
/ leaves American editors unconvinced.
That motion photography can. and
should. play large part in education
seems to them so certain as scarcely
! to need stating. But the prediction
that in twenty years movies will have
supplanted text books as an educa-
tional medium draws out much the
same editorial comment as that which
followed Ed!son's QUESTIONABLE and

| feet that as an educator Mr.. Edison
is a wonderful inventor.

stances by pressing through the dry
pages of history. We shall study bot

0verplaying Their Hand.

The VETS in New York, who are
frantically urging Gov. Alfred E.
Smith to sign the Mullan-Gage re-
pealer bill give indication of possibly
e 'overplaying their hand in some of
the arguments they advance in sup
port of their plea for executive ap-
proval of the measure. They are said
to be fostering the impression, a mis-
taken one, that if he signs the voters
may expect a return to wet times
thrt gh legislative action, which, Of
cour Sc, is not the case, and that if he
vetoss they will take it that he has
slammed the door of opportunity in
their faces and will resent it. An AL
bany dispatch says that some of the
Tammany politicians tell the governor
that the state will be lost to the party
for the next five years if he vetoes
the bill.
The vets in this line of talk are
making it harder for the governor to
sign if he wants to do so. Should he
acquieSce in their reasoning he would
be in the position of approving their
illogic and Offering the voters a gold
brick, as well as slapping the Consti-
tuition of the United States in the face.
They should know that the only al
deviation that will come to their
parched throats will be from a flood
Of contraband liquor which will flow
into the country, but the Volstead act
will still stand, TO be enforced by fed
eral authority.
The only reason the governor could
advance for signing the repeater would
be the one presented by the three
lawyers who wrote to him, dissenting
from President Harding's appeal, that
the state is not bound to assume the
greater burden of enforcement of the
federal act-and that argument is
,pen to dispute.
