Making Up Formulas.

A new reader of mine wrote me the
other day and said that she had made
up my cold cream formula, but that
it burned her skin, and what was the
trouble? I wish she had sent me some
of the cream. for it was hard to answer
her letter. But I looked up the chart
found that the formula had been print
ed correctly, so there was no typograph-
ical error, and I know that the formula
is all right, for have made it up for
myself for years and use nothing else.
The trouble sometimes is that the
formula is turned over to some other
person I always want my readers to
buy the materials and make the cream
themselves Hundreds of them do. A
lot of them tell me they buy fancy
glass jars, make the cream and put it
in and give the jars away as Christmas
or birthday presents. It's rather nice
to be given jar of cream of quality
that you would have to pay SIS for. at
thatI For If the formula is followed
carefully, the cream cannot be wrong.

BY FLORENCE La GANKE.

Peter Page, jr., was six months old
to the day. and mighty proud of it ap-
parently. He took so much interest in
his food that Nancy swore he took after
his father. Peter replied by saying that
any man who had married woman
who cooked as we'll as Nancy would be
foolish not to be interested in food and
then, of course, Nancy had nothing to
co but make deep bow.
Joan was as interested in the foods
that her cousin Peter ate as he was him.

PREACHER
PASSES BAD CHECK
Works SWindIe on A. G
Ramisch, Blind Manager
of Local Institution.

Police are searching for the pseudo
preacher who passed a worthless check
on A. G. Ramisch. manager of the
Columbia Polytechnic Institute for the
Blind at 1908 II street and who Is said
to be nationally known as q bad
check artist" Ramisch is blind. The
so-called preacher is said by Head
quarters Detectives B. w. Thompson
and Ira E. Keck of the bad check squad
to have worked his way from California
to this city by practicing such methods
and leaving a trail of worthless checks
behind him.
Ramisch learned shortly after he had
cashed a check for SIS for the
preacher" that he was the latest
victim.
Posing as REV. James H. Shearer,"
the man of half dozen aliases ap-
peared at the Columbia Institute early
this week, purchased SIS worth of brooms
made by the students, rendered a check
for SIS, got the brooms and the change
and left saying he would send so chairs
from his church in Hyattsville to be
caned.
Within a few hours Ramisch read
IN Braile magazine of shearer's opera
tons and Immediately communicated
with the Detective Bureau asking for
assistance. He was told by Detective
Thompson to send the check. which
was drawn on a New York bank,
through the regular channels. The
check was returned as worthless within
few days and is now in the hands of
detectives for use as evidence.

The night of the witches is past and
the day of the street cleaner is at

The sorry remains of an evening OF
pleasure lay in varicolored streamers
and confetti on Washington streets as
dawn broke, and brooms-not the streets
Of wicked old women-began their
sweeping to restore the city to its usual
immaculacy.
Last night there was far different
picture. Crowds clad in all the hues
Of the rainbow paraded along the main
streets among merrymakers of less os-
tentatious dress. but equally intent on
having a good time.
And have a good time they did.
There was much horn blowing and
confetti throwing both by those on
| foot and motorists who added 10 the
din. At times F street. where the
main celebration took place, was also
the scene of traffic jams that scarcely
moved inches in minutes.
Crowds Not Disorderly.
On the whole. however. the crowds
both in automobiles and afoot were
comparatively orderly. There was little
| rowdyism in the downtown section and
what did manifest itself was quickly
suppressed by the 80 extra police de-
tailed to that area.
Only 11S persons were arrested
througout the entire city for the day
and night on charges Of disorderly
conduct OF this number 81 were in
the Southwest section.
Thirty-two persons were arrested for
! intoXication, not much greater num-
Der than are taken into custody daily
| for that offenSe. On the charge of
drinking in public, however, five per-
| sons were arrested, which police say, can
be blamed on the carnival since arrests
| for this misdemeanor are usually ex-
tremely few. Three of these were taken
into custody by officers in the first pre-
cinct which covers Pennsylvania avenue
and F street. and two in the third
| precinct to the west Of it.

In the outlying precincts complaints
OF pranks played by children began to

DIVORCES IN D. c.
SHOW DECREASE
Number Lower Here Despite
Increase in Nation,
Statistics Reveal.

Despite the steady increase in the ma
tional divorce rate, decrease OF 1913
per cent in the District of Columbia in
1928 over its 1927 figure is revealed in
statistics compiled today by the Depart
ment of Commerce.
The divorce rate here for the past
year was .18 per 1000 population, a
lower rate than was recorded in any
State in the country, in comparison
with a rating of OFT in 1927. Nevada
granted a greater percentage Of divorces
than any other State or Territory, with
a rate of 1882.
The report shows a total of 101 d.
vorces and 81 annulmentS in this city
in 1923, compared with 146 divorces and
"a annulments in 1927. 1t is explained
in the report that the decrease recorded
here Is due directly to the number of
cases heard in 1927 which had been
held over from 1926. when a strongly
contested patent case occupied the time
of one of the courts to the exclusion
of divorce cases.
Divorces Increase.
Marriages performed in this country
last year decreased 1856. as compared
with 1927, while divorces increased by
1902. 1t is shown that there were
l.lS2,497 marriages in 1928 and 1,20l.-
053 in 1927, representing a decline OF
Is per cent. There were l95,936 d.
vorces. as compared with l92,037 the
preceding year, gain of 2 per cent.
In addition there were 1925 annul-
ments in 1928 and 4.255 in 1927.
Six marriages were performed to
every divorce last year. while in 1927
the ratio was 6.25. The number Of
marriages per thousand population was
estimated at 9.85 and the divorces at
1853 during the past year. In 1927 the
estimated rate for marriage was 1912
per thousand and divorces 1852.
The District reported 52.5 marriages
to every divorce, while in New York
there were 216 marriages to each di-
vorce Both the District and New York
have but one cause for absolute divorce.
The rate in other States ranged from "A
marriages to each divorce in George 10
1.6 marriages to each divorce in Nevada.
Marriages Increase Here.
The rate of marriage here per 1000
population was 9.6 last year in COM
parison to 1913 in 1927. A total Of
5,298 marriages were recorded in this
city in 1928 and 5,543 in 1927. Despite
this decrease in the total, the general
figures show gain Of "A in marriages,
allowing for the change Of population.
In the nearby States Maryland showed
a decrease of 40 in divorces in 1928
and Virginia a decrease of Is. Mar
riages decreased "a in Virginia and 81
in Maryland.
In Maryland there were 1876 divorces
in 1928 and 2059 in 1927, while in Vir-
ginia 1882 divorces we're granted in
1928, against 5000 in 1927. In addition
there we're Is annulments in Maryland
in 1923, while in the preceding year 81
were granted. Virginia annulments in
1928 totaled %. against 81 in 1927.
Maryland's marriage figures showed
1913 marriages to each divorce and Vir-
ginia's 7.3 to each divorce. There were
"a, 222 weddings in Maryland last year
and 25,025 in 1927. while in Virginia
there were 2l.406 weddings last year and
22,l63 in 1927.
