Washington's Enviable Position
Among American Cities

A MIGHTY wise President points the way to the
timely Of funds for private and public construction
and other safe projects long delayed because Of the diversion
Of capital into security markets and speculative enterprises
The Presidents optimism TO the countrys business and
future will accepted by the nation the opinion Of
who has wide and deep knowledge Of the exact economic
situation and will put end to pessmsm that might have
followed the crashes in New York and other stock exchanges
Mr.. HoOvers advice and suggestions will and should be fol-
lowed everywhere particularly in this Capital City Of this
great nation In fact Washington is already doing the things
by the President The Federal Government for
example, engaged in construction program here that
tremendous The District Government is to engage in
building official for its and private
builders hating in the erection Of millions Of dollars
Of office buildings, apartments residences etc.
This ID remarkably appropriate time for trade

We do too little boosting Of the marvellous growth Of this

If Washington grew in population only with the expansion
Of Governmental activities here and with the bringing IN Of

But there's q plain reason

what they meant to the girl

Willy-nilly, the modern girl

herself q job and proceeds to

hard one. She's up against
stiff discipline and tremendous
competition. She must use all

she becomes Conditioned" to
this brisk tempo. She becomes
q Live Wire Go Getter.
But inwardly, she dreams the
old, sweet dream Of Husband,
Home and Babies.
It isn't possible for her, how
ever, to think Of these things
as Grandma thought Of them.
Grandma thanked her lucky
stars when she got q good man,

SHE WANTS MARRIAGE
but that marriage must be more
than an opportunity for inter-

TIMES Of the n, as has this

making this sweeping statement
is that the scientific method
employed by Calico began at
about this time to change in a
large way the whole mode Of
thought of the human race, to
change the philosophic and re-
ligious conceptions of mankind,
because the foundations were
laid for q new advance in mans
conception of God, for a sub
Inner view of the world and of
mans place and destiny in it,"
This great discovery was a
definite step in the direction of
demonstrating that the universe
is not driven by a blind, capri
cious will, but is governed by
laws marked by beauty and har-
mony.
An orderly universe movable
through the principle that like
causes produce like effects
which replaced the fallacious
idea of a Senseless raging Of
blind mechanical forces, was the
germ Of a conception which was
basically religious. It directed
the consciousness Of mankind
to the idea Of q benevolent crea-
tor. the Supreme Scientist, work

HER BOSS these two con-
ditions march along with the
love dream Of the modern girl.
Then she falls in love and
marries. Her heart Is in the
old sweet turmoil. BUT
HER PRETTY, COMPETENT
HEAD IS PACKED FULL OF
AMAZING NEW IDEAS AND
ESTIMATES.
Sometimes she gets all she
has dreamed of getting. But
sometimes, as she'll tell you
herself, she just gets stung.
He's good, yes. He's steady,
hard working. patient, kind,
helpful around the house. He'll
do anything she asks and he's
satisfied with anything she
does. That's Just the trouble.
HE'S TOO SATISFIED " e"
TOO SETTLED.
Being settled was the SD
preme virtue in grandma's eyes.

pected marriage to be q Going

here's Henry, with has head in
a newspaper and his feet on
the davenport, asking her why
in heck she can't sit down and
take things easy instead Of 60
ing out to meet these doggoned
people. What sort Of future
can there be with q man like
that for o girl who, for five
or six successful years, has
thought Of everything In terms
of "future2"
But Henry doesn't consider
that point. To him, marriage
and wives are, or should be,
what they were q hundred
years ago. TO BE A GOOD
WIFE " that was dads and
grandfather's ideal for q hus-
band. It's Henry's. But that
isn't enough for Henry'S wife.
A man must be good FOR o
wife, as well as good TO q
wife, to make the grade
with her.
Which Henry can't under
stand. And so when she even
tually marches back to her job
or into the divorce court
he considers himself the
worst abused creature on earth.
"What ais her?" he cries,
Indignantly. That's what ais
her, Henry. Wives have become

Of civilization, for our great
scientific disclosure Of time as
q fourth dimension and the

When Minkowski and Einstein
revolutionized our conception Of

fruitfully to bear the purely
theoretical conception Of a four

An great religious revolutions
have likewise been intimately
associated with a change in
mans conception of the cos

vanced the theory that the
earth, instead OF being flat, was
only one of a number Of minor
planets, rotating upon its axis
and wheeling annually about
the sun, he had no thought Of
making an assault upon religion.
In the light of minute investiga-
ton, he was revolutionizing
mans conception Of the cosmos
and substituting the sun in

Animated by a similar passion
for the discovery of the truth.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY Dr.. Louis z. Risch-

VTARICosE veins are veins
that are stretched beyond
their normal size and because
Of this more or less blood re-
mains in them. That is why
they often look twisted and
knotted. Sometimes they stand
out from the leg in large
punches.
The term varicose veins
should be restricted to the leg.
Yet similar stretched veins
may be found In other parts Of
the body, causing hemorrhoids
and other abnormal conditions.
Those who stand on their
feet a great deal are likely to
develop varicoSe veins. When
a woman Is with child the pres
sure may impede the flow Of
blood in the veins Of the leg
and cause q varicoSity. The
wearing Of too, tight and there
fore restricting garterS may en-
large the veins.
"A vein, you must know, Is
made up Of three coverings.
The external one is strong and
tough. The middle one is thin
but composed Of muscle and
tissue Of an elastic quality. The
internal coat Is q thin elastic
membrane. ~
Veins, unlike arteries, contain
valves. Such valves are found
along the course Of the vein.
They are pocket-shaped and al
ways open toward the heart.
In other words, blood is allowed
to flow in the direction Of the
heart, but the moment 1t tries
to back up, as 1t were, the
valves close and hold the blood
mass In place.
It stands to reason, Of course,
when the flow Of blood is i'm
peded, and accumulates that
not only does the elastic vein
stretch but it's walls are there
by also weakened.
Thus it happens that q vari-
coSed vein may actually rup-
ture and a hemorrhage result.
Wherever there are varicose
veins the skin near by is not
being properly nouriShed by
proper blood circulation. In con-
sequence such skin is less resis-
tive and weak. That is why a
blow or fall or even scratching
may cause q breaking down of
the skin and an ulcer be
formed.
Indeed, varicose ulcers are
among the most difficult ulcers
to treat. Often when they seem
about healed they suddenly
break open anew.
Warning signs Of the begin
ing Of varicose veins may be

legs or aching muscles or Swol.
len ankles.
Elastic bandageS wrapped Sc
curely, butt not too tightly,
around the affected limb often
helps. Elastic stockings often
are beneficial.
Operation on the veins, re-
moving the dilated portions
sometimes is the best method
to resort to.
But q doctor should be con-
suited in these cases. especially
If ulcers 4rs present.

G6NTO woman has ever DONE
~ anything Invented any
thing, originated anything or
written anything) that some
man has not done better" de-
clares a cynic.
II true, that Is because most
Of woman's ingenuity has been
consumed in doing WITHOUT
things-if you know what I
mean.
Whatever a man does, from
inventing a machine to cleaning
the car, putting on a tire or get
ting up a meal, he must have all
the tools, fixings, and mechan-
ical appurtenanceS with which
to do it. Every man is q
plumber at heart! Always need
ing something else" which isn't
handy.
But, all a woman needs in an
emergency is her own wit and
ingenuity and any implement at
hand. A little thing like the
lack of a Screwdriver or q ham
mer cannot balk her purpose.
When a man starts out to
make a garden he must have
a spade. a trowel, a hoe, q rake
and a book Of rules; but 0 wo-
man can take an old kitchen
spoon and q few stray nastur-
tium seeds and make you a
beautiful flowerbed that will
GROW.
When a man fixes q lock or
hangs a picture or puts up the
partitions it takes the whole
family to wait on him. He yelps
for nails, O hammer, O ladder
and "the other Screwdriver."
But a woman can hang. o pic
ture with q piece of string, o
few thumb-tackS and the hair
brush, or make Q lock work with
a bent hairpin or an old nail
file. Or she can climb UP on @

airy and put up the new portiers
with a paper Of pins.
A man will walk q mile in
order to have his hair trimmed
by an expert, but almost any
woman can cut her own hair
with the manicure scissors.
A mans hat must be- a HAT,
properly cut, blocked. shaped
and sized by q professional, but
a woman can wind an old piece
Of crepe-de-chine around the re-
mains Of wire larnpShade and
make a snappy little turban in
20 minutes.
A mans idea Of making q
home is to build a house and
fill it with plumbing, furnaces,
electric wires and furniture.
But q woman can take an army

cheap hotel and string q few
draperieS, cushions and photo

he came into the world a German

extraordinary financial talents were

1t was, however, through his fathers
American associations that his career
in Germany was made possible. The
Germany of the HohenZollernS seemed
to offer him meager opportunity for

Ofsetting these disadvantages, the
elder Schacht had the good luck to be
selected by the Equitable as the Secre-
tary of its branch establishment in
Berlin. That made an opening for his
clever son. when the latter had finished
his schooling. The boy was precocious

at school and succeeded in getting 1t

which the master financier has tried to
live down, just as he has discarded the
perhaps similarly compromising Horace

This literary depression was brief and
was succeeded by more lasting passion
for economics. Leaving school, young
Schacht got start in Berlin as news
paper writer and then as secretary of a
commercial organization specializing in
statistics. little later he entered the
powerful Dresdener Bank as an en-
ploye in the records section. He soon
rose to be chief of the section, and was
elected to the banks board Of directors
before ,he was IS.
He served afterward as director OF
the Darmstaedter Bank and of the
National German Bank, and during the
war organized German banking opera

in Belgium for a time. assembling in
duStrial materials for German war pur-

Justification for the statement that
Schacht did not relish his, being, like
Rathenau. far from sympathetic with
the harShness and excuses of the
German military administration in
Belgium.
Mere mastery Of economic doctrine
would not have carried DR.. Schacht to
his present overlordship in German
finance. Political experience and con-
facts were needed to bring him to the
front. He had begun to make these
before the war. although strictly speak
ing they were a little outside of the
political field. In London, Balfour and
