Washington Assembly,
Society Factor, Revived

The announcement of the Washing
ton Assembly for the evening, of
Wednesday, January 27, at the May
flower, causes a stir of pleasurable an
ticipation not only on account of the
very representative women in all Cir
cles of society here in Washington
who are members of the board, but
also because this important society
event brings back custom of
long ago. when Washington was
not quite the important center
of the worlds interests it is today,
and when almost the only really big
social event of each season was the
Assembly, as even now 1t is IN other
large American cities, such as Boston.
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Charles
ton. :. &.
Ii was perhaps so years ago when
the Washington Assembly first be
came a leading feature i'll the city =
social life. and at. that time the most
prominent men of the National Capl-
tai were members of its board of gov
ernors. and later, perhaps not more
than 20 years back, it was revivsl
for several seasons with such out
standing Washington men as Judge
John Davis, Col. Charles l.. McCaW-
ley, Gist Blair. Woodbury. Blair. Jes-
sup Blair, Lee Phillips, John Chew
and others as managers OF its festive
fortunes.
Now the Washington Assembly has
been revived once more and this time
the board is composed exclusively of
women and has. in a wey. grown out
of last seasons historical costume ball, b.,
which was held at the time of the
opening Of the Hotel Mayfiower, and
which was one Of the most notable
balls of that season. The board Of

Method of Blackening
Brass Quickly Is Given

Here is simple and cheap solution
for blackening brasswork in motor
cars and one recommended by many
automobile owners:
The brass, which should be clean
and free from grease, is simply dipped
in boiling solution of water, one gal
Ion; sugar of lead, eight ounces; by
posulphite of soda, eight ounces The
work is allowed to remain in the boil
ing solution until it turns first blue
and then black, which viii take about
two minutes. The work should then
be removed and well washed In hot
water and dried.
The deposit consists Of sulphite Of
lead. and can be given high luster
by being polished with a dry brush or
soft leather. To prevent the de-
post fading it must be coated With
lacquer.

Pay Same Care to Auto
as When You Bought 1t

It is the new member among the
motoring fraternity who treats his
motor with the greatest respect,
especially the starting and lighting
battery.
When a man buys his first car he
reads all the rules and directions that
are given him by the manufacturer.
He oils it regularly, he wipes it off
every time he uses 1t and he watches
it like mother bear does her cubs.
The battery is something he cannot
look into; it is a complete mystery to
him, and he does just as the directions
say. He has it tested regularly and
carefully watches the ammeter to see
that 1t is getting the right kind of
nourishment. He goes along for sew
eral months in this manner. The shine
begins to grow dull and nothing Of
troublesome nature develops and he
lets up on his enthusiastic care of the
car.

Good Care by Motorist
Will Prevent Skidding

The way to stop skidding is to prac-
tice skid prevention. It is very diff
cult to stop a skid after it has oc-
Cured. but it is comparatively easy
to entirely avoid skidding. Ninety
per cent of all skids can be avoided,
but In only 10 per cent Of these emer-
gencies can the motorist extricate him
self after his wheels have started to
slide. Chains reduce the chances of
skidding, but are not infallible. Keep
off car tracks; do not drive fast on
snow or on wet payements. If the
car starts to skid. steer in the direc
ton of the skid; not against it. IN
less the brakes are equalized skidding
is certain to result on wet pavement.
Skidding also occurs on wet pavement,
especially in snow, when the car is
started. To overcome the sideswip-
ing which is common on snow-covered
streets, the motorist should start very
slowly and in low gear.

Motor Cars Have Ousted
Camel in Syrian Desert

The conquest of the Syrian desert
by the automobile has become a prac-
tical and established fact, and this
once difficult barrier to trade has
been transformed into an important
highway of commerce and travel, ac-
cording to Consul Gregg Fuller in a
report to the Department of Com
merce from Teheran, Persia. Along
the old routes where two years
ago only the camel caravans could
safely travel, scurrying American
motor cars are now making their reg
ular trips from Allepo to Bagdad,
from Bagdad to Beirut from Beirut
to Damascus and by-stations with
precision and dispatch that is looked
upon as harbinger of new era of COM
mercial and economic development.
The success of this service has al
ready had an unexpected result OF
increasing tourist traffic both from
India and Europe. BY catching fast
boat from Bombay to Basra, it is pos
sible to reach England in Is days, by
way of Bagdad, Haifa and Alexandria.
This route commends itself to many
travellers from India home, partly on
account of the short sea passage, and
partly owing to It's novelty. BY taking
the Anatolian railway route from
Damascus to Constantinople, 1t is
actually possible to escape the sea
altogether from Basra to Calais.
The trip from London to Bagdad
can now be completed In seven days
instead of % to % days as formerly.
Business men can reach the Persian
gulf from Europe in one-third the time
previously required. Not only have the
desert routes made it easier for the
East to reach Europe and the Euro
pean countries to administer eastern
governments, but 1t has Joined more
closely together the Moslem world.
