ton bureau in the treasury, and at
the same time the control of the dis
tribution OF industrial alcohol and le-
CALLED beverages should remain in the
Treasury. Second, provision should be
made for relief of congestion in the
Federal courts by modifying and sim
plifying the procedure for dealing with
the large volume of petty prosecutions
under various Federal acts. Third,
there should be a codification of the
laws relating to prohibition to avoid
the necessity which now exists of re-
sorting to more than 25 statutes en-
acted at various times over 40 years.
Technical defects in these statutes
that have been disclosed should be
cured l would add to these recon-
mendations the desirability of reor-
ganizing the various services engaged
In the prevention of smuggling into

guard.
In dealing with law observance the Pres

SUMMERTIME

The flowers that bloom in the Spring
have that delicate, fragile, March,
windy enchantment that all the world
knows well. Late Spring and early
Summer bring us bigger, harder how-
ers. Autumn burns in sultry colors
first, with Zinnia and marigold, trailing
of in the wistful Indian-Summer tintS
of aster, joe-pye- weed. gentian and
golden rod. But full Summer goes IN
for hues that can only be described by
that heavy Victorian word SumptuouS.
And of all sumptuous flowers the
lobelias are the most endowed with what
the cclloQuial speaker calls Sumptuoslty.
The first time you see the scarlet lobelia
growing in the dim depths Of the low
lying river woods, you will think a
cardinal bird has turned into flower
And cardinal flower is one Of its names.
For sheer gorgeOuSneSS 1t SurpaSSeS any
thing else in the Eastern United States,
and in the struggle for survival against
the Sunday flower yankers this Is no
help.
Passing by the Indian tobacco, which
is a little lobelia that is deadly poison
Gus, and the tiny but merry, meadow
lobelia, there remains the great lobelia
largest Of them all. And If the scarlet
lobelia looks like a cardinal flower, the
great lobelia looks like a lue-jay-or
rather a blue-jay as he wishes he looked.
It is the most SNOWY and boastful blue
in our landscape, though in reality a
shallow color, not half so intense as
gentian blue.
The tree lobelias of Hawaii must be
an impressive sight, but doubt II one
of them can touch our species for un-
mitigated braZen coloration.

The ability to do very nice mana sew,
ing is not an essential in SUCCESSFUL
home dressmaking. but 1t Ii certainly
very desirable, and this season espe-
ciaily there is much to be gained by
touches of very fine, very neat hand"
work. It is this that often gives the
simple homemade dress the havor OF
dress from Paris.
The girl who wants to achieve dis
tinction in the making Of her own
clothes I would advise to beg, borrow
or buy o rather intricate dress made by
one of the good French dresSmakers.
This will give her excellent ideas con-
corning the importance of fine hand
work and will show her many things
she should know about the little hand
finishing touches that one cannot hope
to find on the inexpensive readymade
dress.
An inexpensive early Autumn hat
may be made for the little girl of the
family from corduroy. velvet or almost
any sort Of firm wooden material. A
hat of this sort is especially smart
when made to match the coat with
which 1t is worn. II you would like q

hat and directions for making, please

BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

August "a, 1S59-Acting upon the
theory that the public grounds IN this
city are the property Of the American
people and that the people have right
to enjoy what benefits they may be
able to derive from them, many persons
are going cunning almost every morn
ing in the large field south OF the
Presidents Mansion. Some OF them
are old enough to know that they are
violating the law, while the younger
gunnerS are apparently following the
example set by their elders.
It has been suggested that II the
officers who patrol this section OF the
city would catch the older ones and
enforce the penalty of $40 fine against
them and at the same time administer
a few sound spankings to their younger
imitators. the practice might be stopped
before serious damage Is done TO the
young trees and plants by the gunners.
There Is plenty Of room In the DIS
trict of Columbia for sportsmen to en-
Joy cunning without going on the
grounds of the Presidents Mansion or
near 1t. Many gunners and fishermen
are now employing their leisure hours
upon the Potomac River and the bays
and creeks in and near the District.
The prospects are excellent Tor the
cunning season. ! Uc CIOpo Va - 200 AAA

Your Baby and Mine
ny MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. M. M. M. writes: II have no
babies, but recently read an article
in your department on care Of milk
utensils. We have sold milk for 10
years and I have much literature on
the subject from the Government and

of milk and milk utensils and they all
say Use no soap In washing milk pals

Answer-This is very interesting.
Never having had anything to do with
milk pans or pals in my life, jumped
to the very obvious but not very bright
conclusion that milk pans and pals
and baby's milk bottles and utensils
would have the same care. These last
are rinsed in cold water, washed In hot
suds, rinscd and put on to boil In a
pan Of cold water. I suppose that this
same procedure would be adequate for
the milk utensils, but size would have
much to do with that and the sun
is a powerful germicide. Just air and
sun are quite enough to kill almost any
kind Of germ. I am glad you wrote
me, as your advice is just what that
particular reader wanted.

Everyday Psychology
ny DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Night and Day Thinking.

Every one Is thinking all the time
day and night, year in and year out
Thinking is really a continuous pic
ture making outlined in various de-
erees of clearness. 1t is also colored
in various hues, tints and saturations
by those universal psychological paints
called pleasure and pain. 1t is the
emotional paint that accounts for the
infinite shades Of reality and unreality
that we ascribe to our thought pic
lures.
It is possible for descriptive purposes
IN draw a distinction between night
thinking and day thinking. Nlght
thinking is called dreaming; day
thinking, what it is, merely think
ing" ,,...u..,.,, uo,,
must not insist upon strict demarca-
tinns Do YOU not sometimes mistake
vour dreams for reality? Do you not,
while wide awake, often fall into rev.
cries (day dreams)? If SO, you Will
agree that night thoughts and day
thoughts are only arbitrary names.
They merely tell us the time OF day
and state the facts Of our dominant
mental habits during different periods
of time. A.,
Night thinking is, however, on the
whole more pictorial than day think
ing. Your dreams are pictures. Inere
is comparatively little exchange OF con-
versation between the people who IN
fiuence your night thoughts. Never Is
there any exchange Of opinion or argu-
ment of any kind. No attempt at per-
suasion. You never heard Of adver'
Using in q dream. Practically every
thing Is direct action. II any words
are spoken by any one. they SOUND ike
the DEGREES of an umpire-hnal.
In night thoughts every one is q sell
ish creature. He behaves as he pleases
without censure. :,
II you turn to Characterization o.
your day thoughts, you find that your
individuality and the individuality OF
others seem to disappear. You anc
all your neighbors are then soclal pe.
ings. The society-forming forces, sucf
as suggestion, persuasion. bombast, imi'
tation and even coercion, enter 1nU
and influence your day thinking In
WAYS YOU rarely stop to consider.
The day thinker who imagines tina
he is thinking for himself" has paint
ed a false picture of himself. That Is
he is only dreaming. This, oelleVe
is the biggest argument for the rae
thai night thinking and day. thinking
have much in common.

Special Treatment.

Summer days are hard on beauty un-
less one takes precautions. That does
not mean that one should wear wells
to shield ones face and be afraid 70
leave the shaded porch lest one burn
ones skin. But 1t does mean that pro-
tective lotions, creams and powders
should be used to keep the skin from
burning too deeply or from being
coarsened. :.
Nancy was giving long dissertation
on skin and relaxed pores. She found
that the liberal applications of sun tan
powder had been rather hard on most
girls skins.
The real treatment lies deeper than
