Ideas of Discomfort and Fashion
BY MARY MARSHALL.

today are entirely comfortable in every
other respect the only thing they can
do is to wear very. very thin stockings
in cold weather. But that is not really
necessary if you find them uncomforta-
BILE. because there are flesh-colored
understandings of very fine wool which
may be worn under the very thin silk
stockings without detection.
For sports and country wear the
short sports socks are so well liked by
the younger women that there is much
more chance Of their suffering from
feet that are too warm this Winter than
from feet that are too cold.
There are new soft woolen CATERS
that can very easily be pulled on over
the stockings. The shoe is removed
while they are pulled on, and then put
on again. and the flap of the CATERS
is turned down over the shoe. These
reach above or just below the knee,
and are admirable for the woman who
feels the cold.
How about making pretty little cap
this week-one that can be utilized
for hours of work or for hours OF
leisure? We have diagram for a cap
that is equally appropriate, mace IN

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

| December 13, 1854 lively discus
sion sprang up in the Senate OF the
Thirty ninth Congress today as the re-
suit of allegations by several Republic
can Senators that they had been mis-
represented in their activities by the
Associated Press reporter at the Senate.
Senator Salisbury, Democrat, OF Dela-
ware, after explaining that he was un-
der no obligations to the Associated
Press or any other group of newspapers.
declared his willingness to appear as
counsel for the Associated Press, If the
Senators on the other side wished to
press the matter further and insist
upon their demand for an investigation
and expulsion of the reporter from the
Senate.
If the Republican Senators had been
misrepresented, as they claimed, Sem
ator Salisbury expressed the opinion
that the reporter had done them a
great service, and that 10 years hence
they would recognize that fact and
realize that it was the best thing that
ever happened to them.
Among the Senators who complained
of being misrepresented were Grimes OF
Iowa and Fessenden of Maine. The de-
bate proceeded along partisan lines.
The great Government sale of rail-
road material used during the late Civil
War-iron, lumber, engines tools, ETC.
is in full swing today, following its
opening yesterday It is taking place
in the shops near the depot OF the
Orange & Alexandria Railroad In Alex
andria. Many leading railroad men,
manufacturers, capitalists and others
are in attendance.
This is the largest sale Of Govern
ment property of this class ever entered
upon, and it is expected to yield more
than a half-million dollars. w. VIII
liams of the firm of Green & Williams
of Washington is the auctioneer.
The bidding thus far has been very
spirited and the prices obtained have
been unusually good, approaching in
some cases the market value of the
articles. Some of the stationary en-
gines. many of which are in very good
condition, brought from $500 to 81 800;
stoves, from 015 to $50; iron bars, from
Is to IS cents pound, and rope, about
10 cents a pound.
Most of the goods are being sold in
large lots and are being bought up by
persons representing railroad compa-
MES. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Co., which is represented at the sale by
Mr. Wilson, master of the road, was the
heaviest purchaser yesterday.
Much of the stock remains to be sold
and the sale is expected to continue at
least a week.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

Introduce q fox terrier to common
cat and you will see curious change
in the cat Almost instantly he becomes
twice his normal size by arching his
back and swelling his tail and rufiing
his hairy coat. The object seems to be
to frighten his enemy by assuming fe-
rocious appearance.
This is one way of avoiding fight.
Cats and dogs and man rllfiie up their
hair to impress enemy or prey. But
man has almost lost this art. He has
learned to use other methods to over
come his enemy and no longer needs to
frighten him into submission by chang
ing his size in artificial ways.
Still man is able under the stimulus OF
certain types Of fear to make his hair
stand on end. A noted scientist states
that on one of his hunts for wild game
he heard q noise which made his blood
run cold and the hair on his head stand
up so as to lift his cap completely of
his head.
This strange ability is due to the fact
that at the root Of each hair in the
scalp Is q little muscle, which, II 1t
should contract makes the hair stand
up Ordinarily this muscle does not

social proclivities sought his presence
at gay functions and now the poor fell
low is up to his ears in expenses.
This reminds me of chap whose
maiden aunt left him $50 and an aged
cat. After the lady's will had been pro-
bated the erroneous news leaked out
that he had inherited fortune. Being
young and foolish he endeavored to live
up to the part others had cast for him.
He purchased new wardrobe, bought
car, moved to more expensive quarters
and a year later was adjudged bank
rupt.

How important small incidents some
times are! A local man was riding
through country road the other night.
AT one of the bends he was suddenly
confronted by figure who gestured for
him to stop. Now the first driver had
read of hold-ups and would have been
perfectly justified in stepping on it and
speeding up. Somehow he was irnpelled
to halt. Upon inquiring the trouble
he learned that the unfortunate motor
ist was country physician who had
run out of gas. He was on his way to
a patient who was desperately i'll and
minutes spelled the difference between
life and death. The man who had been
hailed tapped his tank and furnished
sufficient fuel for the doctor to proceed.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December 13.-
BOOSTERS have had their place In the
stories of the earth. Peter was embar-
raised by a rooster. Cock croT is the
infallible signal to members OF the
younger set that it is wise to remove
footgear and sneak upstairs before their
elders realize they have made such a
thorough night of it.
A Hollywood rooster recently carried
his peers into the moneyed class when
he exercised his vocal prerogatives and
ruined an expensive sound set. That
cock-a-doodle-d cost just $4,000.
When Benjamin Glazer appears IN
public these days there is much good
natured and sotto-voce growing from
his cotemporaries. Glazer was directing
a talkie which represented the deck OF
q ship at night. He had large studio
staff on the location chosen and list
of starry names among his acting force.
All told, it looked like fine night for
talkies. Motor cops were stationed on
nearby roads to detour traffic and a
fiock of ST ernumerarieS were posted
about to insure perfect stiffness. All
went well until the director called for
aights and camera.
on fared the lights, turning night
into day. And out flared the rooster,
turning order into pandemonium. Try
to stop a nice tenor rooster when he's
made up his mind that dawn flames in
the sky! According to Glazer, it can't
be done.
The rooster was padlocked in the
chicken yard. The owner was away.
AL sorts of decoys failed.
There was nothing left to do but
Eurn out the dawn and go home under
the cold stars. The studio marked q
nights work of the shooting schedule
and $4,000 expenditure on to the bud
get. The director marked time. And
the next morning he made a little
hicker with the ROSTERS owner, who
had arrived home. He bought the tenor

Dear Miss Leeds: How can I take
dark circles from under my eyes?
LUCILLE K.
Answer.-You must first find and re-
move the cause of the circles. If you
have not had your eyes examined this
year, have 1t done now, since eyestrain
may be the cause Of this blemish. Even
if you see clearly, that is no proof that
you are not suffering from eyestrain.
Another possible cause of dark circles
is lack Of suficient sleep. Digestive
troubles and constipation may be the
cause. Have thorough physical ex-
animation by doctor to see where you
stand on the health scale. For q local
treatment, pat little bleaching cream
on the darkened skin every night at
bedtime. LOIS LEEDS.
