were then no women judges and
partly because her earliest ideas of a
career did not include a mastery Of
Blackstone.
To her came the distinction of be-
ing the first woman judge Of mu-
nicipal court by the appointment of
President Harding, in July, 1921, after
a number of years of hard work and
determined effort to educate herself
and take the course at the law col
iege.
She was admitted to the bar of the
District of Columbia in 1908.
Miss OToole does not confine her
interests to her judicial duties, for
she is director in bank, member of
the Chamber of Commerce, and was

What Today Means to You
Geuini.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Today 8 aspects are negative rather
than positive. They are not alto
gether adverse, nor, on the other
hand, distinctly propitious They ap-
parently counsel an equable frame OF
mind, and careful Avoidance Of every
thing of an exciting or agitatine
character. They favor repression
rather than expression, moderate ac-
tivity and the carrying on Of me
thodical duties in methodical way.
A child born today is destined to
become phenomenal success or
dismal failure. In its case mediocr1ty
is unthinkable. Great responsibility
rests upon the parents, because the
drift of the child's mind will be de-
cided by the influence oy which 1t Is
surrounded in its early youth. II
will display remarkable intellectual
ability and possess forceful person
ality. These must be guided into
the proper channels of clear thought
and clear action if the child is to re-
fleet these qualities on attaining ma
turity.
If today is your birthday the gods
have been very generous to you
Your character is firmly establish ed
on foundations of truth, industry and
integrity. Your disposition Is
cheerful one and invites companion
ship and fosters congeniality. None
of us are perfect, however. and the
unruff1ed life that your character and
disposition have enabled you to lead
has tended to make you a tribe self
ish and too little considerate of
others.
Your friends, attracted and mag
neized by your charm of manner
have done so much for you that you
are gradually getting into the habit
of doing little or nothing for them.
You have been uniformly success
full in business. If you had been a
little more unselfish the material
gain might have been less, but the
spiritual results would have been
greater Even in business nothing
should be measured in dollars and
cents.
In your home life you are disposed
to place your own comfort and pleas
ure above that OF others. and nothing
clouds affection more quickly than
selfishness.

BronchoIrhea.

This is not q new disease I'm going
to exhibit OLD DR.. Webster. who is
generally pretty accurate except
when he tries to define things like
somersaults and colds, tells us that
bronchorrhea is an excessive flow
of mucus from the bronchi. When
chronic bronchitis is associated with
such a condition there is often, not
always, some ballooning or dilation
of the bronchi, and that is called
bronchiectasis. The expectoration of
large amounts of sputum, especially
upon change of posture, Is a common
occurrence in bronchiectasis. Certain
special remedial measures are used in
cases Of bronchiectasiS. such as pos
ture treatment, removal to a dry

When there is bronchorrhea, wheth-

take a half or a third Of a lemon, rub
it all around the fingers and the nails,

oil through the hair and make it glossy.
An even quicker temporary treatment
is brilliantine.
If your skin looks dead. pull your
hair back, rub your face full of cold
cream and take it off by holding a small
towel wrung from hot water over the
skin, using 1t after it has cooled to wipe
on the cold cream. Take bit of alb
sorbent cotton, wet it with toilet water
diluted cologne or astringent, wipe over
the face and then powder. If you haven't
any or these astringents, rinse the
face with very cold or ice water.
These are temporary measures
though the face treatment is good as
permanent beautifier.
