Anyway, here they are really

large flowers have been worn for eve

and daytime wear as they are worn at
present. You may choose eardenias
for your navy blue ensemble--well, then,
get them as large as you can ana use
three or even Ave arranged to go down
the side Of the lapel Of your coat.
Chrysanthemuns have appeared
among the smart Spring corsage
flowers without much regard for the
conventional season for such blooms
and they are really enormous. White
flowers are very good on navy blue and
black. and the other day / saw very
large black rose worn with very large
white rose with good effect And don't
forget the new polka-dotted flowers and
the flowers made of checks and plaids.
One of the newest corsage flowers
from Paris Is made of fine gold braid.
String flowers" they call them. They
are most attractive with black evening
or afternoon frocks and may be worn
with the black street costume. II you
would like to know just how these
flowers are made, please send me

BRAIN TESTS

From certain statements about OBJ
jects other statements can be deduced
regardless Of what particular objects
are under consideration. Thus We can
say that IF all AS are Bs then some
AS are Bs" without stopping to consider
Just what kind Of an object an A is.
Logicians classify this type OF reason
ing under the heading OF Immediate
Inference, and the ability TO detect the
truth or falsity Of these Is essential TO
any kind of abstract proof.
Allow yourself two minutes In which
to determine which OF the following
are true and which false:
/. II some AS are not Bs then some
Bs are not As.
2. II all AS are Bs then all Bs are As.
3. If 1t Is false that no As are Bs
then all AS must be Bs.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

May 20, 17s7.-Charles Pinckney OF
MARYLAND today submitted to the Con-
stitutionai Convention a draft OF the
nrouosed Constitution which contains
a clause relating TO Federal Distrlct.
where the future Capital OF the United
states viii be located. 1t provides
that Congress shall have the power:
"To exercise exclusive legislation IN
all cases whatsoever over such ostrlct
(not exceeding 10 miles square) as
may. by cession by particular states
and the acceptance by Congress: Pc
come the seat Of Government OF the
United States and TO exercise Ike au-
thority over all places purchased, Dy
the consent Of the Legislature In Wnicn
the same shall be. for the erection OF
forts. magazines. arsenals. dock yards
and other needful buildings, and 70
make all laws which shall be necessary
and proper for carrying into execution
the foregoing power vested BY TINS
Constitution in the Government OF the
United States or In any department
or officer thereof"
Prom the beginning Of the consid-
Grafton of location for q Federal DIS
trict and Of the whole question OF a
seat of Government. II has been re-
garded as essential by most OF the del
ezates TO the convention that exclu-
siye jurisdiction over such District be
granted to Congress. The authorship
on the clause In the Pinckney draft re-
jating TO the District Is uncertain. as
the draft contains many alterations
and amendments made In committee.
Ever since armed soldiers OF the
Army affronted the Continental Con-
gress BY marching 10 the place where
It was meeting In Philadelphia, sur
rounding IL and demanding the pay
that was due, the sentiment has been
overwhelming In Congress in favor OF
selecting a Federal District, under Its
own Jurisdiction, for its meeting place
and the residence OF the executive Of
ficers Of the new Government.
Appeals by Congress TO the State au-
ttlorfties for protection from the troops
were without avail. While no violence
was attempted. insulting words were
used and one soldier pointed a n1usket
at the window Of the Stateholse, where
Congress was assembled.
Hereafter, II similar situation
should arise, IT IL desired by the ma
tionaI legislators that they may be In
a position 70 protect themselves and
not have 70 depend upon State au-
tforities.

prepare them the same as for any

add to the soup. Boil for short time.
When the soup is ready, add sugar and
vinegar TO taste and one cupful OF

We are In receipt of the following
excerpt from speech delivered by a
Texas attorney: "For those ladies who
are present and for the dear ones whom
we have left at home ! wish to state
that when God made the Texas girl He
sent His angel messengers throughout
the star-Strewn realms OF space TO
gather for him all there was OF beauty
and of brightness, of enchantment ana
Of glamour, and when they had re-
turned from their harvesting OF beau-
ty and had thrown down their glitter
ing burden at His feet, He began In
their wondering presence the work OF
making Texas girl. He wrought with
the golden gleam of the stars, the shift
ing glories of the rainbow hues and
pallid silver OF the Southern moon. He
wrought with the crimson which swoon-
ed In the roses rubbed heart, with the
snow-white petals of the lily and the
first flames which leaped from the
Jewels depth. Then, glancing deep In
His own bosom, He took Of the love
which nestled there, like some rare
pearl beneath the sun-kissed waves OF
the Summer sea, rolled all of this into
the form He was making, and. 10. the
angels hid their faces. for He had made

through technical school. Following
his graduation he joined a road gang
He slept and ate with the laborers
For months he lived outside the pale

Then he took a postgraduate course
He became a student of r11ineralogy and

Today he Is the responsible head OF a

Reply.

II may happen that one letter replies
to another. Here is the other:
"Six months ago my sister and her
husband were to 60 to Europe; but
there was Ruth. aged 8, and Johnny. g..
SO I offered to take charge Of them.
Until then ! had been just Aunt
Hattie and saw them for a few days
two or three times year. Ruth and
were good friends, and SO. thought,
was Johnny. though we had frequent
spats. / had quite decided notions how
children should behave, especially to a
maiden aunt who had some position in
the world and knew what good behavior
was. So ] got the shock Of my life
when my sister told me that when Ruth
and Johnny were told that Aunt Hattie
would care for them, Ruth was silent
and Johnny said: That pest?
Nov that ! have been a temporary
mother for five months, want TO make
confession OF the error OF my former
notion that children owed respect to
their elders, and all the elders had 10
do was to expect 1t and take 1t: that
children had faults and 1t was the busi-
ness OF their elders 20 point them out
and correct them. With Ruth this
worked well enough. but Johnny set
me on edge. First Of all he sucked his
fingers. told him that a boy of his
age Che was then ~ should be ashamed
Of himself; I never let UP. On my
next visit Johnny was S and still at

throwing things and talking back. And
now Johnny was 8 and I was a pest
Well, ] am a pest no longerl told
Johnny wouldn't say anything about
those awful fingers II he would break
himself Of the habit before his mother
came home. He has nearly done 1t, and
he'll finish the job.
Most OF all, I'm through with lit
eral reciprocity. The notion that child
must be kind TO you II he wants you to
be kind TO him Is Just right enough
most OF the time to be all wrong some
Of the time. The reason IL Is right Is
because II usually works; the reason It
Is wrong Is that sometimes It doesn't.
Johnny Is rebel: Ruth is conform
ist. You can manage Johnny so long

She Didn't Count Her Galleries.

Mrs. H. went on recommended diet
/ to reduce. It consisted Of coffee with
out sugar for breakfast, nothing for
lunch, three medium sized potatoes
and piece Of dried toast, cocoa and q
piece Of neefsteak for dinner. She
omitted all sweets and candy. At the
end of the month she hadn't lost a
single pound! She Is a great lover OF
sweets, but after depriving herself OF
them, without losing single pound,
she has become quite discouraged.
She is always laughing. Does this
have a tendency to make one fat?
She Is only 5 feet 2 inches tall.
Your trouble was, E., that ut your
one meal you took enough calories Of
food to supply all your needs. You
evidently didn't count your calories.
You can never know how TO diet SCI
entifica1ly until you do this.
You probably had butter or gravy
on your potatoes? One medium potato
is 100 c., and with butter or gravy.
three medium potatoes would probably
be 500 to 600 C. Cocoa is very rich,
and suppose you drank all you
wanted Of It, thinking that you were
having but one meal day and you

100 c. a glass. A glassful Of cocoa
would therefore be about 800 TO 400 c..
And beefsteak, very lean, slice
3x2xl2 (about 2 ounces) Is 100 c..
How many calories Of this did you
have?
You can reduce on one meal a day
only IL your calories for that meal are
not excessive. However, 1t Is better
| for most to have four or fve small
meals than one large one. II you go
on 1900 C.. a day (that will reduce
the average person one to two pounds

yenient and more to your liking.
