FOUNTAIN TO ADD
TO C. u. BEAUTY
Medical and Dental School
Building Landscaping
Plans Are Revised.

Revised plans for the extensive land
scaping that is being done to beautify
the natural surroundings of the nearly
completed Medical and Dental School
Building for Georgetown University, on
the south side of Reservoir road, in
clude a large fountain in the center OF
a sunken garden.
The fountain was the idea of DR.. w
Coleman Nevis, president OF George
town. who personally is supervising the
landscaping program to harmonic with
the future plans of the city to make
Reservoir road a broad boulevard
The site of the fountain is to be on
the east side of the big 81 100000 medi-
cal building and its spouting water will
be plainly visible from Thirty-f1fth
street, a distance OF about quarter OF
a mile. The Georgetown Visitation Con-
vent owns the land adjoining the Med
ical School grounds. so no building will
be erected to obstruct the view.
Built in II Form.
The Medical Building is constructed
in the form of the letter H, its two
main wings being practically 260 feet
in length. In the ample space pro-
vided between the two wings on the
east side will be constructed the foun-
tain and sunken garden, approached by
q driveway.
Excavation for the driveway leading
to Reservoir road and for the terraces
and steps utilized in the front entrance
way has been a considerable undertake
ing and is now we'll advanced. Situated
on a plateau high above the level of the
road, the only convenient method of APP
proach by automobile Is through a
winding roadway This drive will ex-
tend around the building and eventually
will connect with another that is to
lead into the proposed park west of the
building for which the Government al
ready has purchased the land.
Campus Is 1870 Feet Wide.
The pedestrians entrance to the
school will be through an ornamental
gate and the grounds facing Reservoir
road will be inclosed in brick wall over
which ivy is to be grown. The campus
Immediately in front of the building will
be about 100 feet in breadth, the slope
leading gradually by series of terraces
to granite steps. Plentiful Shrubbery
Is to be planted around the building
and parking space. DR.. Nevis hopes the
water from the fountain will spout to u
height of 25 feet.
The building is entering its final
stages of completion. Equipment for
the dental department already is being
installed and this department will be
the first to open. about February or
before. The spacious site on Reservoir
road. owned for years by the university,
was enlarged by the addition of another
strip of land adjoining the proposed
Rock Greek parkway which will con-
meet with Canal street. On this Site
Georgetown University is proposing to
establish eventually a new hospital
building and chemo-research laboratory.
The medical-dental building, directly
across the road from the estate of Mrs.
Anne Archbold. is the first building de-
velopment on the south side of Reservoir
road between Thirty-fifth street ana
Foxall Village.

which will give soft illumination to the
building at night. Metal work will be
in antique lead finish to complete the
color scheme.
The banking room is to be carried out
in early American style, giving an
atmosphere of domesticity rather than
one Of Formally Interior trim will
be of knotty white pine in antique
finish and walls and ceiling will be OF
plaster.
The building is being erected by c.

B. Heaton.

the Museum of Fine Arts here.
The idea is to produce on the race
of the building the dimnesS of real
moonlight This is done by softening
the LIGHTS and using beams of different
intensity so that angles which in real
moonlight would appear DINNER than
the face of the building receive less
artificial light.
The result is to give depth to the

disappearance Of James Morrell. Secret search.
ings had been going on for over period Of
weeks before the general alarm was finally
given out TO o disquieted world.
After months Of publicity, searchings and
expeditions Of secret service men to various
parts Of the world, the publicity was suddenly
hushed up.
Mrs. Morrell resumed her naughty, impressive
life as social leader Newspapers, for one reason
or another, left OF their playing up of this
meaty story Of disappearance Of James Morrell.
1t was whispered about among those "in the
know" that 1t had cost Mrs. Morrell q kings
ransom to thus stamp out the conspicuous
happening Of her husbands disappearance.
The truth Of 1t, Of course, was that James
Morrell had finally been ferreted out, playing
his ukulele In q fantastic harbor cafe at Mar.

on the proper occasion grow eloquent, but so
had other men Of less success.
When she was 80 Rachel Taylor, who loved
the life of creature things creature-comf0rts
and creature magniicence saw herself slowly
climbing toward the very pinnacle Of such
attachments.
James Morrell was easily the foremost lawyer
OF the State, TO say nothing Of the prospects
Of political power and position which lay ahead
They used to say laughingly Of Rachel Taylor
MOrrell that she had more than once referred
TO her husband as the future President Of the
United States.
Be that as it may there was no doubt that
the beautiful reddish eyes Of Rachel we're d.
rected toward the seat of the mighty which she
expected Morrell one day to occupy. One aspect
OF realization came to her In q vicarious way
while James was still in his highly successful
role of corporation lawyer. The lovely daughter
of the James Morrels, Annice, aged 10, eloped
one day in a hydroplane with the only child
of one of the great oil magnates Of the world
In Rachels opinion that was the greatest
plume in the cap Of the Morrells that had vet
been planted there.
Ten years later the two grandchildren Of the
James Morrells had been presented with q trust
fund of 100000 each by their paternal
grandparents, and James MorreM had fastened
on his wife lifetime income that amounted
to over a million a year.
TWO months subsequent to this legal act, the
cities of Pittsburgh and New York awakened
one day to headlines announcing the mysterious

COOKING

There comes q time in. the
life Of every cook when meas
ures must be taken to secure
accuracy. II cakes fall into sor-
ry valleys of depression and muf-
fins insist upon turning into
mountains It is time to bring
action against the measuring de-
vices. The fault with your cook
ing may be none of yours, 1t is
quite likely to lie within the cup
you measured with.
Glass. measuring cups In par
ticular, vary seriously In quan-
tity on contents due to the diff
ference in thickness OF glass.
Some have very thick bottoms
and in these q fourth of a cup
Is bound to be much less than
an actual fourth. In some curs,
actual measurement has shown
one cup to hold four tablespoons
more than another.
An easy way of checking the
capacity Of your cup is by filling
1t with carefully leveled table
spoonfuIs-a standard cup should
hold Is tablespoons of any ma
terial. More actual results are
likely to be obtained If small
quantities of fat especially are
NEE sured in tablespoons--foL
for a fourth of a cup-or two
for an eighth.
Cupfuls of flour vary Of course
unless the flour is sifted at least
once before 1t is measured. Even
so there is still chance of error
IL the flour is scooped Up by
dipping the cup into it. Ac-
curacy is gained by filling the
cup with flour with a small flour
scoop and then leveling the cup
- off with the thin edge Of a
spatula or case knife rested on
the edge OF the cup and moved
across the top.
Too much flour as the result
of careless measuring is the cause
of mullins that are hard and
crack open.
Inaccuracy in measuring fats
and sticky substances such as
molasses may be overcome to
some degree IL the cup Is
warmed with boiling water be.
fore the material Is measured.
AZ simple way of measuring
half or quarter cups of fat is to
put the remaining amount o;
water in the cup and then add
fat enough to make the water
fill the cup.

THE BEAUTY

If a girl had one beauty wish.
she should ask fof health. If
she had two wishes, her plea
should be for health ana good
taste. With good taste, she will
know what to wear, what to
say, how to sit and stand and
walk, how to get along with
friends and acquaintances, and
how to dress her hair. Good
taste is the product OF an edu-
Gated and cultured mind--not
necessarily book education, but
observation plus a little heavy
thinking now and thep.
Moist hands that are destruc-
tive to gloves can be benefited
by the use of a lotion made
after the following formula: one

On the human scalp there is q
dense network of capilaries that
carry blood to the papiIlas from
which hair grows. Anything that
stimulates these little blood streams
will help the half growth. Among
the methods used are massage,
therapeutic lamps, the violet ray,
the vibrator and faradism. It is
a mistake to use salt water on the
scalp as a tonic: it eats into the
hair shafts and makes them brittle.
1t sometimes happens that q
complexion will rebel against soap
and kick up a protest by smart
ing and burning. In that event,
oatmeal is a good substitute. A
thin oil. like oil OF sweet almonds
or cocoanut oil. will act as a sub.
stitute for the facial Tubing.
With such skins, there Is usually
a tendency toward eczema, in
which case cosmetic jellies win
