My Secrets
of Charm
BY Josephine Huddleston
THERE was a time when high

THERE was a time when high
collars, because of their
bone and wire stays, had a
tendency to hold the muscles Of
the throat in place, thus en-
couraging one to keep the head
poised at an angle to prevent sag
ging of the under-chin muscles.
However, with low necklines,
this gentle reminder no longer
functions and we see an increas-
ingly large number Of heavy
underchin lines even OF very
young women. Then, too, it also
has been declared by several re-
liable authorities that the misuse
of or failure to use brassieres
permits a too-large bust to draw
down upon the muscles of the
throat, chest and under-chin, so
that lines and deep wrinkles in
the throat are almost inevitable
under such conditions.
Regardless of these opinions,
however, we do know that lines
and sagging appear only when the
muscular structure becomes weak
and depleted. Such relaxation
and inactivity of the muscles
soon shows itself in the form of
heavy jowls or fatty spots at the
side of the chin just in front of
the ears, double and triple chins,
and deep lines in the face and
throat.
Also, we all know that a firm,
rounded contour Is the oustand-
ing physical sign OF youth. There

A CCESSORIES to compile
y ment the new bathing and
beach ensembles r being
shown in the styles and coiors
most dominant in the sports and
daytime frocks- Hats, shoes,
jacket and novelty jewelry are
made with the thought Of enhanc-
ing the suit and consequently are
carefully planned as to style, de-
tail and coloring.
For wear over a wet suit there
are several new types of capes
and three-quarter length coats
made Of terry cloth inside and a
rubberized crepe surface on the
outside. These garments come
in two-tone effects. the inside
being white and the outside diff
ferent colors. Short jackets, too,
are found in this combination of
materials. These usually reach
the hips and are very smart
when worn over the knitted swim
ming suits. Both the coats and
jackets come with notched col
lars. patch pockets and turnover
cuffs. Peter Pan collars are to
be found on the beach capes and
some Of the jackets.
Blazers in powder blue and
navy stripes. red and black stripes
and green and red white stripes
are also being made with the
terry cloth Innings, for It is
claimed that this fabric absorbs
the moisture and keeps the wearer
warm.
Overalls made either of linen
or Saline are finished with q rub
beriZed surface and may be worn
to prevent the sand from sitting
through the bathing suit. They
are made with full-leg trousers,
cut we'll up in back and have
high fronts with straps so
fashioned that they will not slip
off the shoulders. At the mo-
ment, those with gay prints in
modernistic designs seem to be
in greater demand.

"Hitching" a Ride.

Boys Of yesterday who still remember
the thrill that came from "hitching"
a ride on the grocery wagon, drawn by
en- amiable and plodding horse, or who
sought adventure of tail step of a
numbering zee wagon, have little boys
of their own now. But the old grocery
wagon, lazily pausing at every door,
has become a snorting motor truck that
stops with a shrek of brakes and starts
with a grind of clashing gears. The
old ice wagon Of yesterday Is
Gargantuan monster today. The quiet
streets of yesterday are filled today
with countless vehicles, all of them in
a great hurry. Many things have
changed, but the little boys of today
are Just like the little boys their fathers
used to be. They love to hook" a ride.
An eight-year-old boy in Cherrydale
the other day manfully grasped the side
Of big truck. The truck, its driver
unaware Of his passenger started away
and gathered speed. The boy felt his
grip slipping. The grip of an eight-year-
old was never so strong, He let CO.
There were screams and cries from
other children, the boy fell under the
wheels of the truck and another of
the countless tragedies that result from
hooking" a ride ended in the cemetery.
A parent who fails to tell his child
of the dangers of the street, and who
does not paint these dangers in
startling colors that will never fade, is
guilty of a neglect too apt to be
disastrous. Whenever child meets
sudden death in the street beneath the
wheels of a truck or automobile,
the motorist is heaped with blame.
Sometimes it is deserved. More often
it is not. The child has not anticipated
the danger, for children seldom do. But
the parent should have anticipated the
danger from the beginning, never pass
ing any opportunity to reiterate a
warning that will stick In the child's
mind and become part of his second
nature The parent who suffers his
child to dart down the street on his
beautiful new scooter" who watches
him try his new roller-bearing skates
on the highway and who laughs at the
skill demonstrated by his ability to steal
a ride on an automobile bumper or the
tailboard of truck is only welcoming
death and tragedy. New conditions
have brought new responsibilities to
every parent. They may be too heavy,
but they cannot be escaped.

mittee, unless there is a change in the
sentiment of the committee, before con-
clusion of the session of Congress.
There is another side to the Ware case
and the situation which a report of that
case by the Reed committee may cause
in the Senate. Suppose that the COM
mittee reports that Mr.. Ware finally
should be denied his seat in the Senate
because of gross expenditures in the
primary campaign and alleged corrup-
ton. The report will be fought vigor-
ously in the Senate by supporters OF
Mr.. Ware. The case is a mater Of ths
highest privilege In the Senate. 1t Is
conceivable that the submission of the
report with an insistence that it be
taken up may tie up legislation in the
Senate tighter than drum. II the
report is made prior to final vote on
the Kellogg treaty renouncing war, 1t
Ia not difIlcult to see that Senator Reed
Of Missouri, who is a critic of the treaty,
and other opponents of that pact may
find themselves in a strategic position.
The cruiser bill will be threatened and
farm legislation will be in a worse posi-
ton at this session OF Congress than
even today. A f1libuster against a reso-
luton extending the life Of the Reed
slush fund committee has tied up the
Senate before this.

Reapportionment Snarl
Held Serious Matter
the Cincinnati Times-Star.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
The question of reapportionment in
Congress will not down. The very real
Misrepresentation that at present exists
in the House, which Is based on the 1910
census, has become a serious matter
aside from the defiance of the manda-
tory section of the Constitution which
provides for reapportionment every 10
years. OF course, representation in the
House affects States representation in
the electoral college. 1t would have been
quite possible. in the event OF a close
election, for the President-elect in 1928
the American people.
The House of Representatives Is now
of an unwieldy size, so there is no
agitation to increase the number of
Representatives. A reapportionment
with the present number of Congress-
men would mean a gain of four men,
bers for Michigan, three for Ohio, two
each for New Jersey and Texas, and one
each for Arizona, Connecticut, Florida,
North Carolina, Washington and Okla
homa. Missouri would lose three, and
Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky and Mississippi
two each. Several States would lose
one each, notably New York, where the
great increase in the population of New
York City and other cities In the State
has been more than offset by the
decrease OF population in the rural
districts.
The changes that would occur In the
representation of the several States is
an argument for reapportionment. 1t
was the vision of just such a change in
the distribution of population that
caused the fathers to incorporate
mandatory provision in the Constitution.
So far as possible House of Repre-
sentatives and an electoral college
should represent. Today they are far
out of line.

question of great heights and the

itself down to simple discussion of

fear arose in humanity as the result of
our primal ancestry. When our for

Closing the Ware Case.

The Reed sluSh fund committee is
intent upon making its final report In
the case Of Senator-elect william s.
Ware of Pennsylvania before the close
of the present Congress. The commit
tee apparently has turned a deaf ear
to the plea of Mr.. Wares physician that
given six months Mr.. Ware may have
so far recovered his health as to be
able to appear in person before the
committee. The attitude Of the COM
mittse Is that everything pertinent to
the case has been presented. that Mr..
Wares attorneys are at liberty to have
full access to all the records and that
the time has come for conclusion Of
the case, which began almost two
years ago.
Mr.. Wares illness has placed the COM
n1ittee in an embarrassing position. 1t
Is difficult to press case against an Ill
man. The sympathies Of the people
generally are with the patient in the
sick room Already friends Of Mr. Ware
are shouting "Persecution!" and charg-
ing that the committee is endangering
the life of the Senator-elect from Penn
sylvania. Chairman Reed Of the COM
lnittee insists that such is not the case:
that the committee has given and Is
giving every consideration to Mr.. Ware:
that it has delayed hearings and action
again and again at the request Of Mr.
Ware, and that it has no intention OF
demanding the appearance Of Mr.. Ware
before the committee again.
The committee takes the view that
Mr.. Ware has presented his case; that
II he has anything additional to Offer
