Will Congress Be More Liberal
To District in Future?

ENAToR sACKETT, of Kentucky, time ago made
the interesting prediction that the attitude of Congress
to the District of Columbia will grow liberal in the
future largely because the people the nation having be-
better acquainted with their National City insist
that be treated national affair and NOT JUST AS
ORDINARY CITY.
The Kentucky Senators view is that the widespread
automobiles for touring has had do with the good
will Of Americans toward their city Hundreds Of

Beauties of Saturn
By Archibald Henderson

IN all the starry expanse Of the
\ heavens, there is no object 40
beautiful or 50 interesting as
Saturn. Around it is a beautiful
system Of rings, noticed but, not
understood by Calico, virtually
discovered by Nuyghens in 1855.
Around the central ball circle ten
moons Of a. doubtful one be in.
GlIded). Much study has been de-
voted to this fascinating planet,
less to the planetary ball, it must
be confessed, than to, the rings
and the attendant moons.
The origin of the beautiful
group OF objects naturally piques
the curiosity, largely perhaps, be-
cause of its uniqueness. 1t may
be that in comparatively recent
times, geologically spe a kim g,
saturn suffered an explosion of
some sort, giving birth of
nebula which ultimately took on
permanent vertical mention. At
periods IA years apart. We see
the rings edge on to us, so that
the annular phenomenon Is not
visible. But midway between these
periods, the plane of the rings
.is tipped over So that we see
them, accurately. at their great
est spread.
Some centuries ago, the idea
,was entertained these these rings
were solid bodies. It was a great
American mathematician, Benja-
min Peirce, who demonstrated, on
purely theoretical grounds, that
these rings could not be solid.
Neary three quarters Of a century
ago, Clerk Maxwell, one of the
Founders Of the subject of electro
magnetism, showed that the rings,
far from being solid, were not
even fluid. They consist of an
Aggregation of fine particles re.
volving, with periods determined
BY their distances from the planet
Indeed. they are really 9 swarm

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

by LIZ. LOUIS Il. blScn-
THE lungs of children are deli
l. cate structures and they are
more frequently attacked by dis
ease than any other organ OF the
body.
Pneumonia, Of course, is the
commonest childhood disease in
this respect and generally this is
"broncho-pneumonia" n distinction
to "lobsr pneumonia" The differ
enCe in the two conditions con-
Sists largely in the distribution
of the disease. In broncho-penu.
monia the large and small bron-
chial tubes are intlamed. In lobar
pneumonia the whole lobe or divi.
sion of a lung may become prac-
tically Eolidified from inflammation.
Often. to be sure, the two condi-
tons overlap.
The death rate in pneumonia in
children is very high. It is COM
monest during the winter months.
but cases occur all year round.
Broncho pneumonia does not al
ways follow the same course. One
case may differ markedly from
another.
The usual symptoms begin with
high fever. often with vomiting as
well. Then there are coughs,
rapid breathing, and general pros
tration.
Often the fever jumps up and
down, varying daily four or five
degrees. 1t lasts from one to
three weeks. After that it grad.
ually grows less. not all of a
sudden, not by crisis" in other
words.
In the case of broncho.pneu-
monia a strong cough Is a IA
Vorable sign. 1t shows good re-
sisting powers on the part of
the patient.
During the cough it is helpful
to turn the child on its side or
face in order to bring up the
mucous.
Strangely enough, pain In the
chest is uncommon.
In severe cases, redness of the
face, ''cynosis," is present at
times. This is a danger signal,
and means the patient must be
watched and treated with ex-
pertness.
In lobar pneumonia the child
usually is older, perhaps three
or four years of age. The onset
is likely to be sudden, the child
not feeling quite himself, and
then a high fever, with vomiting
develoving rapidly.
Headache may be present In
the beginning, and great weak
ness, Sometimes sharp pains in
the side are felt.
These symptoms last for two
or three days, when a cough may
develop. Usually, however, the
child Is somewhat better by then,
and this state lasts until the
sixth or seventh day.
Usually, after a long sleep, the
child awakens feeling decidedly
improved in all respects. The
crisis has been passed. After
that Improvement is rapid.
The diagnosis of pneumonia is
not an easy matter, and many
overlapping types may occur.
Besides, complications are COM
mon and, all in all, it is one of
, the most serious and dangerous
of diseases.
No parent. therefore, should
take any chances about the chill
dren when pneumonia is a posi-
bility.

ONCE-OVERS

Fortunately there are not many
who reason thus.
The man who tries to be fair
and square with everyone is
bound by his nature to accom-
plish many worthy acts.
Because your incl1natlons are
toward evil, do not think that
you can make up for your mis-
deeds by any such balance ac-
count.
There is no compromise be-
tween evil and good.
Excusing yourself for cheating
one man that you may help an
other means that you are favor
ing yourself in the deal and are
too mean to acknowledge it.

SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
BY Helen Rowland.
The Non.sIxid Marriage

The EOn.SEid Marriage
GGCTART together from scratch,
~ and think collectively" says
a famous IndustriaIist. "That is
the strongest factor In the success
OF business"
Yea, verify, and the strongest
factor Of success in any other CO.
operative institution-say, MAR
MAGE, for instance!
Starting together on a shoe
string, and turning it into rope
of gold Or a string Of pearls
Gathering things together, scquir-
ing things mutually. Starting
from the bottom and climbing to-
gether; giving each other a boost
or a hand. That's HAPPINESS
That's all there Is to happiness.
There isn't any more.
The marriage that begins in a
blue-and-white kitchenette has a
better chance of success than the
one that begins with a buffers
pantry as a background and a big
car bought with Dads money,
standing at the front door.
Love thrives better on mutual
work, mutual ambition and mu-
tual sacrifices. than on a mutual
desire for ease, luxury, and grand
whoopee.
It isn't the burdens and strug-
gles and hard days they share,
which separate husband and wife;
it's the bridge parties and poker
parties and wild evenings they
DON'T share. Read the divorce
scandals in the newspapers for
confederation.
The young husband who Is so
busy studying the ledger, looking
for opportunity and delving for
the dough to pay off the mortgage,
that he has not time to look at
the pretty photographer is a better
BET. than the one who has three
hours for lunch, plenty of time
for golf, and big desk to flirt
behind.
The little wife who is so busy
watching the oven or the grocery
bills or the kitchen clock, that
she has no time to feel sorry for
herself is a far better proposition,
than the one who has a half a
day to spend at the hairdresser's
and another half to run around
looking for thrills and diversion.
Two people who are working
together for a mutual alma
home, a fortune, an ideal, a family
or a big career-are welded to.

that bind"
It's more fun saving up for a
little bungalow or a little tliVVer,
than buying a French car with
inherited money. Starting to-
gether from scratch-and thinking
collectively" In that one sentence
is the whole science OF success,
happiness, and life. itself.
The NON-SKID marriage is not
the one that rolls along easily on
cushion tires, but the one that
jogs along merrily in the little
runabout bought with hard toll

coon DEEDS-AND BAD

GOOD DEEDS-AND BAD
Do you believe that you can
offset a wrong deed by do
ing a good one?
When you think over your
life and consider the wrong you
have done others. can you ex.
cuse yourself by thinking of
some worthy matter you have
carried out?
There cannot be a counter bal
ance in any such way.
II you feel justified in doing
a wrong to benefit another, you
better not do either.
The person who does neither
harm nor good, consciously, is
better than the one who tries to
offset bad with good.

GEOGRAPHY OF BEAUTY IN
THE DIFFERENT LANDS
STANDARDS VARY AMONG
DIFFERENT RACES PEOPLE
Ugliest Types of Beauty Found
Among African Tribes of Fe-
males Are Particularly Ugly

Washington.-The open season
for beauty contests is a reminder
that the geography of beauty is as
diversified as the geography of food
or fashion.
"Often what one people may con-
slider personal blemishes are marks
of beauty in other countries" says
bulletin from the Washington
I'd. c. headquarters of the Ma
tional Geographic society. For ex-
ample, moles are considered espe-
cially appealing in Egypt. Blohs of
flesh resembling huge warts are
supposed to beautify the faces of
the women of some Belgian Congo
tribes.
"Many of the 'ugliest' types of
beauty, according to American and
European tastes. are found among
African tribes. Particularly ugly
are the female faces deformed by
cicatrization. which Is accom-
plished by rubbing mud into open
sores until they swell in permanent
ridges. CicatriZation in an oyster
shell pattern on the chin cheeks
and forehead is supposed to en-
hance the appeal of the women of
some Central African tribes.
Shampooed In Butter.
"The most odOriferous of African
beauties are the Ethiopian women
who smear their hair with rancid
butter. In hot weather they are
attended constantly by a regiment
Of flies. Since the butter is only
removed about three times a year,
shampoos are negligible factors.
1.-THE beauties of the Mangbettu
tribe of Central Africa adopt hair
dress that resembles a Grecian urn
lying on it's side. They bind their
hair in a tight coil and the hair
that is drawn back is inclGsed in
large fiat disk. With this skin
tight hairdress, into which long
metal pins have been inserted and
their prominent features. they form
striking pictures.
"The slant-eyed sub-debutante
beauty of Cambodia in Tndo-Chfna
also affects a distinctive coiffure.
Until womanhood is reached. her
hair is cut off, with the exception
of a single tuft on the top of her
head. This tuft is inclosed in
little wooden or metal howl. around
which the head is shaven. When
womanhood is reached the bowl is
removed and the rest nf the hair is
allowed TO grow However. 1t
never reaches any grear length and
is stiff from repeated shavings in
the past.
"Coconut oil is the cold cream of
the Samoan islands. Unlike Amer
ican women, who disguise the use
of cold cream with applications of
powder. these South Sea sirens pre-
fer shiny skins. Their brown faces
glisten under their curly hair and
the wreaths of pawpaw blossoms or
cowrie shells which they wear.
Where Ferocity Lends Beauty.
"The beauties of the island of
Malaita, in the Solomon group, are
ferocious looking creatures with
huge, fuzzy mops of hair. Through
the septums of their noses they
plunge long skewers which are sup
posed to impart extreme beauty to
their countenances. The skewers
are made of various materials, gilt
nails, strings of beads, small tusks,
curved shells, tufts OF dried grass
and long bamboo or bone plugs.

which entered the dining-room
along with pieces of hot coal. A
fire was probably averted by the
fact that the Jumps Of coal had
not had time to ignite when they

from the coal failed to escape from
