Protect your skin against the ele-
mems before you go out OF doors.
if YOU would preserve the hneness OF
your complexion! Protect it against
wind and rain-and especially against
the harsh drying, tanning, burning
and freckling effects of the spring
and summer sun.
A dry, chapped condition of the
skin, fine squint line and burns are
50 much easier 10 prevent than they
are to cure. And if they are al
lowed to persist the skin may be-
Come coarsened almost beyond rem
edy.
/ am very glad to tell you how
these evils may be avoided. After
, cleansing with good cleansing
cream and toning with good skin
1oning lotion or mild astripgent tonic,
spread over the face a thin. protec-
tive film of foundation cream. Some
women prefer liquid balm, and for
certain types of skin the balm protec-
tive makes an excellent foundation
base.
There are, however, scientifically
prepared creams which actually neu-
tralize the suns rays and safeguard
the skin against the effects of wind
or sun. For the most complete out
door protection these sun and wind
proof aids should be used.
/; All the time the skin needs a pro-
tective foundation before makeup is
applied, and the several creams Gre
atcd for this purpose-some Of them
cleyerly tinted in natural skin tones
ARE delightful in their effects. They

The rarebit is the choice tidbit fo-
spring luncheon and Sunday night
supper. AS teaser to spring appe-
titles, this smooth and succulent
cheese dish is without parallel.
Whether it's the well-known Welsh
rarebit or some Of the new combina-
lions of cheese and spicy savors, the
rarebit has tang and zest possessed
by no other special dishes. Prepared
with perfectly aged and blended
cheeses, these chatting dish specialties
are delight to prepare as well as to
serve and eat.
A rare treat indeed are these new
rarebits, evolved and tested by Marye
Dahnke, in the Home Economics

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
/ Conversing with Comrade Hen
wether had its embrassing drawbacks
at that. 1t is true it didn't matter what
YOU said to him, but on the other hand
ne had the trick of pretending that he
heard perfectly and replying to what
s 1e thought you said.
Thus Unexpectedly when / asked him
10 pass the bread he responded:
"Yes. He has got funny nose,
hasn't he? That's Herb Ahlswede.
But don't let him know you think so,
because he is sensitive-terribly Sensi-
tive. Until l learned to be carsfui
about it l used TO make him mad when
J spoke about it."
The forty-four caliber look which
Comrade Ahlswede shot in his direc-
ton would have pierced anything bur
. rhinoceros-hide; but Pix Henwether
prattled on obviously:
1T looks as if he drinks, don't it
Eut that can't be, because he amt al
lowed to here at the Home. It's durn
curious, and I've been puzzled about it
aver since l come here eight year ago

Comrade Ahlswede half rose from
his chair with a durable-looking iron
stone-china cup in his hand from which
he hastily gulped the coffee, was torn
between a desire to appear polite and
g. impulse for self-preservation which
was urging me to get under the table,
WIEN Colonel Stewart raped sharply
CT the table and neighboring hand
drew AhlSwede back into his chair.
That's one thing I pride myself

To lengthen the life of linens, re-
member these rules for their care:
Tablecloths and napkins OF linen
damask should be washed at home,
if possible. Otherwise, select re-
liable laundry waere cutting solu-
tons are not used.
New linens should be laundered
before they are stored away. Then
pack them in chests subjected to
even temperature always avoiding
the concentrated heat of radiators
and pipes. Cedar chests are prob
ably the best containers.
Linen enjoys exposure to sun and
dew; in fact, no substitute compares
with this means of keeping them
beautifully white. 1t also helps to

please instruct your bugler to call as
sembly and draw your men up for in
spection outside? Please hurry"
The colonel saw that there WAS some
unusual reason for my request and did
as l asked The familiar blare OF the
Ibugle brought the old soldiers instantly
to their feet and they filed out in or
derby fashion at the word of COM
mand, not knowing what it was all
about.
I told the women of the company to
get out as quickly as they could just as
!thsy were, and asked the men to help
Ime put out the FIRE If possible, and save
whatever property we could.
The hope of extinguishing the blaz:
soon vanished. All water-cornectien!
in the stable were frozen up and there
were no chemical extinguishers. We
tried to bsat out the flames, but owing
to the location above it proved impos-
sible. -.-ssg {sa. ;sl.s 7
BY tho time we decided to abandon
the building the fire had spread to the
dressing-rooms, and we could save
nothing but few things that were
standing around the stage. Jim Cooper
managed to rescue the barge and ]
got oft with the bapfsr-m0che statue
of myself. No one was hurt. z.
We stood, a disconsolate array,
watching while the barn burned. There
seemed no one to blame for the occlr-
renee of the fire, which had doubtless
been caused by defective insulation in
the electric wiring. As-we had not put
that in ourselves, there seemed no rea-
son why we should be considered at
fault. ',4sl~''. ''' ''''-' '.l'''..,.'
"Its all for the best" said Maryella
brightly. 81 didn't know my lines in
the last act anyway"
Jim Cooper was standing defect
edly with the handle of the barge
in his hand. The padding which
was supposed to be on his chest
had settled down once more and he
had moved it around in back OF him
out of the way. It was a curious
looking place for ones chest.
81 suppose it is all for the best"
he said, "but l wish | had been able
to save my clothes. The Greeks
must have designed this costume or
mine for summer weather"
Tf you're cold" I said, "thiuk
of me"
# suppose everybody thinks I
started that fire." complained the
voice Of Comrade Henwether. But
I didn't. The way get blamed for

DARROW ON CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

clarence barrow, probably the country most ia
nous criminal lawyer is happy unless he is back
ing some cause that does enjov any overwhelming
popularity support.
Not long ago Darrow elected president of the
AntiCapital Punishment League. He is now seeking
funds to enable the league to put drive for the
abolition Of capital punishment in the United States.
Darrow's chief objection to capital punishment
seems to be that it hits the poor harder than it
does the rich man.
when the rich man. wealth-crazed, hwart justice
with impunity, with praise?" demands Darrow.
Only the poor ever suffer. l cannot recall that
wealthy person ever has been executed
Darrow in this particular instance, should know
whereof he speaks Several years ago the whole
country was shocked by ineXpressiby brutal nlur
der committed by two rich young in Chicago
Their crime was so lacking in justification that it
seemed foregone conclusion that they would hang
for it but they able to hire the best criminal
lawyer in the country, and he saved their precious
necks for them and won them life Imprisonment in
stead Their lawyer, as you doubtless recall, was
Clarence Darrow, himself
Indeed, although Darrow didn't cite that case, it
does bear out his contention. Who can doubt that
Leopold and Loeb would have hanged in short order
if they had not had the money to finance expensive
legal battle?
Darrow has other objections to capital punish
ment, however.
Executions barbaric, horrible and utterly use
less he says. Capital punishment doesn't stop
crime. Great Britain, hanging about Is persons
year while we execute two three hundred has far
less crime than the United States"
Probably, If capital punishment is generally
abolished, it will be that last argument that will do it.
We may not be moved by humane considerations; but
if be convinced that executions don't really do
any good, probably will abandon them quickly. If
Darrow IS wise he will hammer away along that line.
