BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

March Is, 1872.-The joint commit
tees report on legislation to encourage

of doing anything in our power to aid
in developing the material interests of
the District, we declare our purpose,
as soon as practical and before the next
session of the legislative assembly. to
visit as many of the manufacturing
towns of the country as our limited
means will permit. for the purpose of
consultation with skilled mechanics and
manufacturers SO the District men
may, in their own persons, an
nounce to them the superior advan-
tages of the District of Columbia for
manufacturing purposes and represent
to them the universal and earnest de-
sire of our citizens to cooperate liber-
ally with all in developing in the Dis
trict the mechanical and manufacturing
industries of the country

Everyday Law Cases
A List OF Damage Verdicts Which
the Courts Haze Held Not
Excessive.
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

In number of cases in various juris-
dictions appeals have been taken to the
highest tribunal complaining that YER
diets awarded by the juries were ex-
cessive and should be reduced. In the
following cases the courts have held
that the damages awarded were just
and not excessive.
ta) Verdict of $4,000 for death of
dealer in automobile accessories; de-
ceased. killed in an accident, had n
life expectancy OF 81 years, had been
earning on the average $4,000 a year
during four years prior to his death.
Obj Verdict of $4,000 to widow and
child. of carpenter; deceased, killed in
an accident, had life expectancy of 81
years, was college graduate earning
$375 month; was ambitious, eco
nomical and good husband; was help
ing brother and sister through school.
Co Verdict of $4,000 to widow and
child of carpenter; decedent, killed
In an accident, was earning $l25 a
month: he was economical and spent
most Of his wages on wife and child.
I'D Verdict of $4,000 to daugh-
ter of an electrician killed in an acct
dent: he was strong, robust, indus
triouS man, about "a years of age life
expectancy 80 years; earned $14O a
month at time Of death; was devoted
father.
The counselor:
The courts hold that inasmuch as
the assessment Of damages is peculiar
ly within the province of the jury, a
verdict should seldom be disturbed upon
the ground that the damages awarded
are excessive, if the evidence relating
to such damage was fairly conflicting

The waiter approached, but at sight
of their faces he retreated to the shad-

against the coffee-boiler, suddenly faint
with loneliness for his young wife and
baby over i'll Hungary.

voice broke oddly.

He reached over and took her hands
The long moment was tremulous with
ecstasy. But Irene! They had forgot
ten her! At the memory, they were
stricken.
"Jean!' The torture of longing was
in his voice.
The girl turned unseeing eyes upon

trembling hands clutched together in
her lap.
Jim shifted his eyes miserably from
her face. "God!" he breathed, con-
fronting an endless future with Irene
and her fatherless children needing his
money.
Silently they left the shabby little
restaurant. There seemed to be MOTH

slipped protective hand under her
arm, and the little movement was like
a careSS.
Up in her hall bedroom on the third
floor of the rooming house where they
both lived, Jean flung herself on her

The slam of the door below her own

her door.
"Jean!' called Jim softly. "Come out

They went down the dusty, red-car-
peted stairs and in the park found a
vacant bench.
"Jean!" his voice husky. "I've just

"Oh-oh" she looked up at him.

Foods.

Another good reason why we should
use the terms cri and never the term
cold is that there are so many other
factors than the debatable one OF cold
and wet that may cause the symptoms
of coryza, and if one is so dumb and
unconcerned as to assume at the outset
that the coryza Is cold" there isn't
much chance of real diagnosis being
made. Where the trouble happens to be
from some particular item OF food, Tor
example, it may be a great relief to
discover that it isn't from the weather
or draft, after all.
A German complained Of symptoms
of hay fever which had developed since
he came to the United States five years
ago. In Germany he had had similar
symptoms, but of short duration,
whenever he ate herring. On skin
scratch test he proved sensitive to rag
weed pollen and hickory pollen. In
variably when he ate herring he suf-
fered from a severe spell of Sneezing,
stuffed nostrils and coryZa.
A young woman complained OF hay
fever which had required in May in
the last six years, and became worse
each September. She proved sensitive
to oak, ragweed and some of the
grasses. But she also suffered from
coryza in the Winter time when hay
fever positively cannot happenD, and
this proved to be due to eating choco-
late. peanuts or beans.
When one develops a rather sudden
coryZa, that is, q stuffing up OF the
nose, more or less irritation and sneez-
ing, and considerable watery dis
charge, all of which persists for lin
tied period, usually only few hours,
and clears up as suddenly as it began
one should begin to suspect that one
has not taken "cold" at all, but rather
that one is getting finical about some
perfectly wholesome food or other. .
A woman had suffered hay fever In
August for the past 20 years; asthma
now and then; hives whenever she hac
nothing else to occupy her time; queer
sudden swellings of lip, ear. eye, a hand
a foot, from time to time; and migraint
all her life. She had about everything
in the way of anaphylaxis, had thi:
lady. Finally she put on beautiful
coryza whenever she partook of pork
Winter or Summer.
A young girl who had been subject to
hay fever from early childhood, began
to have sudden coryZa from time to
time in the Winter, and the coryza al
ways cleared up as suddenly as it be-
gan. Anaphylaxis, no doubt. Yes, sure

When the dye Is taken OF the stove
the juice of half lemon may be added.
The hair should be shampooed and
dried before the henna paste is applied,
and rubber gloves should be worn dur
ing the coloring process. After the hair
has been treated with the dye the head
should be bound up in a towel for IS or
80 minutes before the hair Is sham
pooed again.
Egyptian henna should not be used
on very light hair, or on white or gray
shades. since the resulting hue Is an
unnatural orange or pink. OF course, 1t

it with a layer Of the mixture, much as
one paints a barn by applying . coat

hair dyes that penetrate beneath the
outer surface of the hair shafts and
color the under layer.
The difference between the henna
pack and the henna rinse should be
understood. The former is dye of the
consistency of whipped cream. The
rinse is liquid made by dissolving four
| tablespoonfuls OF the Egyptian henna
powder in quart of hot water. The
henna liquid should be poured over the
hair several times with an enamel Dip

Dyeing With Henna.

Most of the women who write to me
about dyeing their hair make it very
clear that while they would like their
hair colored they do not wish to run
any risk of ye-poisoning. Many oil
these correspondents want to use henna
dyes, under the impression that such
preparations are purely vegetable prod
ucts. They ask me what shades to Sc
lect.
The only shade of henna that is pure
and perfectly harmless Is the red
Egyptian henna. The compound henna
dyes that come in wide variety OF
shades are really metallic and not true
vegetable dyes. Frequently there is only
enough henna in them to entitle the
manufacturers to use the word on the
labels. OF course, if woman wishes to
color her hair with a metallic dye, that
is her own business, but she should not
do so under misrepresentation.
How to apply henna pack Is another
question that is often asked by readers
of this column. 1t is rather messy
process, and results cannot be predicted
with perfect certainty. The depth of the
resulting color depends on the time the
pack is left on and also upon the tex
ture of the hair itself. Take half a
pound of the pure Egyptian henna and
mix it to a thick paste with water in
an enamel bowl. Thin the mixture with
boiling water, then put it on the fire in
double boiler for 10 or is minutes,
stirring all the while.

Filled Coffee Cake Is Fine
for Breakfast.
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Lois stood in the kitchen, with a
worried look. Here she was, trying to
follow a recipe in the magazine for
coffee cake. 1t had sounded so deli
cious when she read 1t, but she sorely
needed Nancys help. And Nancy was
sojourning in the South. She read 1t
over more carefully. The recipe called
for dry yeast and she had compressed
or loose yeast which was moist and
not compressed. What difference should
she make In her recipe? She compared
other directions and decided that the
ingredients were the same. 1t was the
length of time required to get the dry
yeast growing which differed. Com
pressed Yeast begins to bubble in two
or three minutes, while dry takes any
where from one to four hours. Here is
the recipe she used:
One cupful boiling water, one yeast
cake, three cupfuls -four one-quarter
cupful sugar. one teaspOonful salt. four
tablespoonful shortening. one egg. All
ingredients were measured level. Flour
is sifted before measuring, then meas.
ured and sifted. Boil water and cool
to lukewarm. Break yeast cake IN
small pieces, add one teaspoonful sugar,
When bubbling, add to cooled water.
Put in flour mixed with sugar and salt.
Beat until smooth. Cover and set in
warm place to rise. When double in
bulk and egg, beat well. Pat out on
Toured board to thin sheet. Spread
with one cupful stoned and chopped
prunes, one-third cupful chopped nuts
one-quarter cupful brown sugar, two
tablespoonful butter. Roll like jelly

Making Clothes for Little Girls
BY MARY MARSHALL.

the little girls frock either looks right
or it doesn't. There is nothing to be
done about 1t If it doesn't. If the neck
line is not becoming, you cannot de-
pend on a choker or necklace to make
things right, because you know per-
fectly we'll that little girls ought not to
wear iewelry save of the very simplest,
most inconspicuous sort
If your own frock turns out not to
be of an especially becoming color, you
rouge or powder that overcomeS the
difficulty. And because that is obvi-
ously out of the question with children.
you should choose colors and shades
for them with especial care.
Nothing is further from the truth
than the statement often made by
mothers that any little girl with bright
eyes and a healthy glow of color in her
cheeks can wear any color 1t is not
even true that all little girls look well
in pure white.
Navy blue this Spring is frequently
frightened with a complementary
touch OF bright red. Soft shades of
green-like leaf green--are chosen for
some of the new coats to be worn with
matching hats Soft shades of blue are
also in evidence. An outstanding fash
ion for warmer weather will be the
ensemble of linen and gingham.
In reply to the request of number
of readers who have asked for an apron
pattern, have for you this week a
sketch and diagram for trim little
back and front apron that is most easy
to make. If you would like a copy,
please send me your stamped. self
addressed envelope, and will send it to
you at once.
