A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
By HERBERT C. PLUMMER.

! Sir Esme Howard, the British Am
bassador, expects to take up DOCK
binding when he retires shortly.
Senator Walter Edge of New jersey,
this countrys next Ambassador 10
France. is an enthusiastic hunter and
every year spends several weeks at
camp in Georgia.
In East Washington, near the Ana
costa River lie 81 y acres or ground
the gloomiest spot in the National Cap
ital. yet one of the most historic.
1t is of the beaten track OF tourists.
Unless the visitor knows about the
place and expresses desire TO go
there. 1t more than. likely Will gu
unnoticed.
Since 1907 the place has been known
as the Congressional Cemetery. With
in are buried some Of the most Illus
trious people in the history OF this
country.
The vestry Of Christ Church in
washington founded the Congressional
| Cemetery IN 1907. when 1t issued an
appeal for funds TO provide place Tor
! interment of the bodies OF the prom
inent men in national life who attended
services there.
The original idea was to put up a
stone for every member Of Congress
who died during his term OF ONCE,
whether he was to be buried there or
not. Thirteen United States senators,
including William Pinkney of Mary
land, and approximately go Representa-
| tives are buried there.
In 1876 Congress took cogniZance OF
| the rapid rate at which the cemetery
was being filled up. Consequently, in
I that year q law was passed prohibiting
the erection of cenotaphs to members
Of Congress unless their bodies were
actually inferred there. Some ITS
cenotaphs had been placed there, 100 Of
which were for Government official and
Is for Senators and Representatives.
A stroll through these 31l2 acres and
one will run across the graves of men
who have long since been forgotten, but
who during life played an important
part In the history of this country.
Tobias Lear. the long-truSted private
secretary of George Washington. was
buried there after her had committed
suicide.
The bodies of Capt. Beverley and
Abel Upshur, Secretary Of State, lie in
the same grave. resting exactly as they
died in the explosion Of the u. S. s.

Health of the Skin.

Thanks to modern articles on health
and beauty, most women pay a. great
deal Of attention to their compilations
and hands. Too often, however, both
men and women forget how important,
from the health point of view. is that
vastly larger proportion of the skin
which Is covered by clothes.
When we consider the functions Of
the skin. we find that one Of the most
important is that Of the sweat glands.
Waste products are daily given of from
the surface Of the skin. The mouths
of the sweat glands form tiny depres-
sions called pores. which are just visible
to the naked eye; 1t Is on the clean and
healthy condition Of these pores that
the efficiency of the skin depends.
BY using magnifying glass 1t Is pos
sible to see how in some skins the
mouths Of the sweat glands are choked
with particles OF dust and WORKOUT It's
sue OF cast-on cells. although the sur
face Of the skin apparently may be
clean.
The girl or woman who claims 10
be too busy TO bother about beauty
baths Is usually the one who needs the
most attention. Whether 1t Is the home
or a career that keeps her occupied.
She is likely TO be under q mental and
physical strain that will leave heavier
imprint than the hands Of time.
When every moment counts, the
daily bath should serve to beautify as
we'll as to cleanse. There is no better
way of smoothing out tired lines in
the face than relaxing completely in
a tubful Of warm water. AS the nerves
are soothed. the complexion may be
stimulated by maSSaging the face and
neck with the f1ngertips.
After soaking for a while in the
warm, soapy water. the hands are in
just the right condition for manicur-
ing and the calloused or corn covered

No Money in Loves Dreams.

A young couple came to us today and
outlined plans.
They are composed for the most part
Of dreams. They are nice dreams after
their kind, but living in q world OF facts
causes dreams to be jolt producers.
The couple plans to tour on motor
cycle. and sell whatever can be obtained
to sell, en- route. Neither has ever sold
before, nor has either any idea Of what
to sell how to sell it, or where to sell it.
In the past other couples have come
to us with plans of earning money after
marriage. 1t is perhaps human to put
the hard tasks after the pleasant ones,
but necessity always comes first in our
existence.
When we advised them to devise
means of earning their livingS first. they
would exchange shy looks of confidence,
and then assure us that 1t would be
different in their cases because they
were Gin love-"
Persons in love always think their eX-
perience to be unique, and perhaps 1t
is with them. But, usually.
the first question bride asks after the
ceremony is, Where do We eat?"
If the bridegroom has only plan or
dream to feed his blushing or unblush-
ing bride, marriage will not begin either
auspiciously or smoothly.
That is why We advise young couples
to dream If they will, but to provide
the wherewithal Of marriage before
beginning a matrimonial career. Mar
riage can wait few months. but even

out food, shelter and clothing.
A man who has not been capable
enough to provide the amount neces-
sary to establish a home for his wife,
with a cash surplus against the ever

play any more capability after mar
riage. Generally we would call him
poor matrimonial risk.
1t is no Sinecure to begin marriage
either in want or in debt, and 1t is not
advisable. As you often have been told.
even love will not thrive long under
those conditions, and one can hardly
respect man who assumes q sacred
obligation that is too much for him.
Even under favorable circumstances.
neither love nor marriage is an eternal
certainty. Without q fair start, It is
almost certainly doomed. One cannot
subsist on dreams. and they have no
cash value with the grocer or land
lord. Your physical as well as psychical
needs must be satisfied and nature ar

DILIGENTLY, 3O5 of the finest
IN beauty salons in the United

''With all our experience,"-these
experts said-"we cannot distinguish
between hands that never ,CGsh dishes
and hands that use Luz In the 6ishban.
-. Evidently, LUX gives real beauty
care.
These experts observe thousands
of hands and they know! In their
own words, Lux means "beauty
care" right in your own dishpan!
Isn't this a startling idea? Yet
women instinctively know it is true.
Washing their fine things in the gor-
seously sparkling Lux suds, women
themselves noticed how smooth and
white their hands looked afterward.
Now they are washing dishes with
Lux TO give their hands the same
gentle beauty care-three times day!
The secret is simple -.
Lux is so utterly pure, so delicately
refined by the special process used
in its making, that it protects the
precious beauty oils-the youth oils
-of the skin. Many soaps dry up
these oils, leave the skin parched-
red and dr6wn looking.
Best of all, this beauty care costs

Your Baby and Mine

ties of milk. but I haven't enough LOT

child? She always seems so happy
when she gets something to eat. give
her boiled water between musings. In
order to satisfy her have to omit two
musings. and even then there does not
seem to be enough"
Answer-There should be sumcient
milk for any baby, providing the mother
has a good and nourish1ng diet no OIL
ferent from what she is used TO, II she
uses a proper technique In nursing. The
omission of two feelings results In less
and less milk for the baby, instead OF
increasing the quantity at the other
feelings. Milk unused is re-ab5orbed
and less is sent in" for the next feed
ing because the demand regulates the
supply. Nature cannot have her wares
disdained. In order to have an ade-
quate breast supply the breasts must be
stimulated regularly at each nursing,

a complementary feeding will satisfy
her. This method keeps the breasts
active and results in a gradually In

Cows milk, in some form, is the best
food for babies. 1t may be certified
or grade A pasteurized milk, or evap-
GRATED or dried, but it had better not
be raw milk. It is advisable for many
reasons to pasteurize or boil the milk
used for children, or to buy pasteurized
milk for them. In this form 1t is
easier to digest and it is safer. Boiling
breaks down the tough curds Of cows
milk which were not intended for
baby's stomach.
With the early modified milk forrnu-
las" land where has that term gone?) +,
lime water was used as medium for
breaking up the milk curds. Now
progressive doctors say no. lime water
is too dirty. it can't possibly be boiled
and therefore, has no place IN the
Labys diet.
Orange juice, or its substitute-to-
mato juice from CANNED tomatoes or
fresh ones-must be given each day
to the baby who takes any of these
milks.
