WELL, AND WHAT OF IT?
prescott Courier)

y
In discussing "Lame Ducks" and
other useless surplusage, the Wash
ington Post, pro-administration
paper which generally is ''in the
know" in its issue of February z,
said:
ssSenator Cameron of Arizona, who
goes out Of the senate on March A,
hopes to come back in two years to
fill the seat which Henry F. Ashurst
will have to defend at that time. He
intends, it is said, to devote the two
years to intensive work at home.
Just what the Washington news
paper meant by "home" is not quite
clear, since, insofar as general inform
alton is concerned, Cameron has no
home in Arizona, and has not been a
resident Of this state for long time.
It is inconceivable that Cameron IN
tends to come back to this state and
seek to build a senatorial fence for
1928, since he reposes in the minds OF
the people here in a very bad light
because of his sinister and groundless
charges against Carl Hayden on the
eve of the last election. There is
something wrong with a man who
snatches at such a straw when the
waters of defeat begin to envelope
him. The findings Of Senator King,
who conducted the investigation, read
a great deal like an indictment Of
Cameron.
The political situation in a future
period in Arizona never can be cor
rectly forecast, but one thing is very
sure, Ralph Cameron is out of the
political picture in the state and will
remain out Of it. His election in 1920
was one of those accidents which
never are repeated.

RUBBER BOOTS FOR yoLsTEAD

AS 'eUncle" John Marshall, who has watered
Flagstaff for the past thirty years says: 1T all
depends on the weather whether the water supply
increases soon or not. The new reservoir is hold
ing and the new pipe line is carrying all the
springs are flowing; there is more snow in the big
basin than for years past There is a shortage
Of water in the reservoirs now and all that is
needed is warmer weather to start the snow water
down HILL
If we were all Of the same political faith as
lthe weather man. we would stand very good
chance of having our wants amply supplied, but as
it is we can eat snoWballs for week or SO if we
have to.

JUST A MERE BAGATELLE, BILL

Colonel Fred Breen, he who makes the Coco
nino Sun shine, in his paper last week took fa'
out of two Prescott attorneys for seeking to col
lect fee in that county The Colonel probably
thinks lawyers, like newspaper men, ought to work
for nothing Prescott Courier
Sure, Bill. As a newspaper man, I get your
point of view. A few hundred thousand one way
or the other don't count. A mere 100000 fee in
one case for about six months work, is just Gig
areet money to some lawyers. A newspaper man
can usually accumulate that much money in eight
hundred years, provided he is diligent and works
nights, holidays and Sundays.

A Heroic Remedy

1t was dark night. Murky clouds
obscured the moon in such a way as
to make driving dangerous in the un-
certain light. A car was approach
ing the grade crossing, travelling
swiftly round the corner which led to
the closed gates. At that precise mo-
ment an express train thundered
through.
Too late, the driver of the car saw
his danger. He tried to swerve, but
skid was the only result. With a
loud crash he struck the last coach,
and the car crumpled up on the track.
Silence for few minutes. Then a
voice:
''Wel1, it's cured my hiccoughs, any
way!" and the driver crawled out Of
the wreck.

Embroidery tassels are fascinating
in needlework. Without actually being
difficult to make they seem to be in
tricate and they certainly are eX-
tremely ornamental. They are used
in Italian and Maltese embroideries
particularly, being incorporated in the
Stitchery as we'll as making finishing
touches for edges. In the United
States such tassels are found in fancy
work of certain types, and on frocks,
especially those embroidered in Nal
tese style. The tassels lend delight
fully ornamental notes wherever used
and they are in high favor.
The Maltese embroidery, originated
by the islanders of Malta and peculiar
to their fancy work, consists of tasels
used as stitch elements in carrying
out designs. and also in finishing edges
of work. It is used for ornamenting
household accessories used in interior
decoration, such as cushion covers, cur
tains, scarfs, etc. These tasselS are
now being used here in the same way
and also as trimmings for frocks.
They may be introduced at ends of
stitchery to give finish to vertical or
horizontal lines of embroidery, or they
may be introduced as fringe below
bands Of braiding or fancy stitchery.
Single Maltese Tassels.
Single Maltese tassel stitches are
made as follows: Mark each place
where a tassel is to go by a short
horizontal line equal to four threads
in coarse goods or sx in fine weaves.
Insert a needle, th1 .aded with many
strands Of embroidery silk or wool. in
the middle Of the line, and bring it out
at the left end. Insert the needle
again at the extreme right end of line
and bring it up at the center. There

'Rosalie," said Nine. de Merrat. "do

AS the mason worked. madame told
Rosalie to tell Gorenfiot to leave
chink at the bottom. promising her a
thousand francs a year. Then aloud
she said coolly:
Go and help him"
All remained silent as the mason
worked. When the wall was half
was up the mason contrived to put
his trowel through one Of the glass
panes of the closet door. All three
then saw mans face-dark and
gloomy, with black hair and ewes Of

each one out individually. and yet, If
they are left in, any one may develop
into an ugly pimple.
Skins that are blemished in this way
are usually of sensitive nature; they
smart and become blotchy when
washed with ordinary soap. They are
usually too oily also, so that powder
cakes upon them. Compilations of
this type are the despair of their own
erS.
But there Is always hope. If one is
willing to work patiently for results
and to forego the temptation of con-
cealing the blackheads with thick
makeup instead Of removing their
cause.
Blackheads are little oil glands that
are clogged with CRIME, and they re-
suit in the first place from lack of
thoroughness in cleansing the face.
The skin is not like an enameled sur
face that may be cleaned by simply
running damp cloth over 1t. The
skin is full of tiny glands called pores,
some of which eXude oil and some
sweat. The dust from the atmosphere
settles on this uneven skin and mixes
with the secretions that ooze from it's
glands. Face powder also helps clog
the pores when 1t Is used carelessly.
IL liio ohii IL HOC CledHSSu LnOrOuSnly
every day the CRIME remains in the
pores and forms blackheads.
The only cure for the condition Is
to dissolve and wash out the dirt.
First, remove surface dust with cold
cream. Wiring out a Turkish face
cloth in hot water and hold it over
the face to steam the pores open.
Now make a rich lather on the face
cloth and rub 1t gently into the skin.
1t is good plan to use cornmeal soap
for the purpose. Make the soap by
shaving and melting pure CASTLE soap
to a jelly, and then add enough fine
cornmeal to make a thick mixture
that may be nodded into cakes before
1t cools.
Rinse the lather off in warm water,
quickly lather and rinse again. Use
cold water for the final rinse. The
skin may smart little at first, but as
1t becomes accustomed to the treat
ments it will be less sensitive. Do not
expect immediate results, but cleanse
the face In this way every night for
a month at least.
In the morning bathe the face in
cold water, dry and pat on a little of
the following lotion for oily, sensitive
skins: Four ounces rose-water. 1 ounce
cologne water, l gram borax, 2 grams
glycerin, drops tincture of benzoin.

Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

October II, 1783.-The first recorded
mention of the place ultimately Sc
lected for the National Capital was
made this day in the Continental
Congress, which on the same day also
enacted the first measure requiring
the surrender by the States of terri
torial jurisdiction over whatever site
might be chosen.
October II, 1790.-President Wash
ington, having finished his inspection
of the site between Rock Creek and
the Eastern Branch proposed for the
new Capital, started for Great Falls
and up-river points to view other pro.
posed sites.
October II. 1791.--In the presence
Of President Washington, Thomas
Jefferson and James Madison, the first
public auction sale of lots in the city
began this day. The weather was so
inclement that the prospective buyers
could not meet on the ground, and
it is supposed that the auctioneer.
James McKenna, conducted the sale
at the Fountain Inn, near the foot
of Wisconsin avenue. for John Suter,
proprietor of this inn, was duly paid
''for wine and wood furnished at the
sale Of lots" according to the records.
October II, 1859.-Unusual excite
ment prevailed in the city this day
when word came that John Brown
had raided Harpers Ferry during the
night and was in possession Of the
United States arsenal there. Fear of
a general slave uprising in the South
was expressed. and the helplessness
of the Capital in the face of the
threatened disturbance was made ap-
parent. An early attack on this city
was expected and there was grave
apprehension of a slave insurrection
here.
October II. 1S63.-President Lincoln
called for 100000 more men for the
Union Army to serve three years.
