was rich in "a naval heritage" if ever
any American family was, and it is
not to be wondered at, perhaps, that
Oliver Hazard Perry and Matthew
Calbraith Perry should distinguish
themselves aboard ship.
Although Christopher Perry, the IA
ther of the two naval heroes, was only
thirteen years old at the outbreak of
the Revolution, he Immediately en-
listed in the Kingston Reds and served
in the Continental army. He next
served on a privateer, then on board
the Mifflin, was captured by the Brit
rjsh and for three months endured the

aHd had a.
par IN the b tory over the
British private In 1910. Later
he was captu IN and sent to
Newry, Ireland as prisoner Of war.
There he became acquainted with
Sarah Alexander, pretty Scotch girl,
whose grandfather had fed from Scot
land to Ireland and who had been left
an orphan in her childhood. At the
close of the war Christopher shipped
as a seaman on a British ship bound
for America. Sarah Alexander was
passenger on the same ship and upon
her arrival at the home of DR.. Benja-
min Rush in Philadelphia, Christopher
sought her out and they were mar
ried. He took his bride to the Perry
homestead in Rhode Island, house
that looked out toward the sea and
from which her husband and her sons
were to 'go down to the sea in ships"
and become officers in the navy.
There were five of them-Oliver
Hazard, Raymond H. j., Matthew
Calbraith, James Alexander and Ma
thaneal Hazard. AS if this contribu-
ton to her adopted country's sea
forces was not enough, two of her
three daughters married naval officers,
Capt. George w. Rodgers and DIR. Will
liam Butler! The influence of this
mother on her sons had much to do
with their later fame. She told them
stories of her warrior ancestors in
Scotland; she closely supervised their
education, she fitted them to COM
mand by teaching them to obey" and
when, still in their teens, they an
swered the call of the sea, she sent
them forth cheerfully. She lived to
see all of them make honorable rec
ords in the service Of their country
and two of them win fame and one Of
them receive the highest honors which
his countrymen could pay him.
He was Oliver Hazard Perry, born
August %, 1855 in the home which is
soon to be opened as the Commodore
Perry Memorial. He entered the navy
as midshipman at the age of four
teen when war with France seemed
inevitable. But it was not until Com
modore Preble was sent to subdue the
Barbary pirates that he saw his first
active service in the war with Tripoli.
In 1910 he was commissioned lieu
tenant and placed in command of the
schooner Revenge. The Revenge was

this season. Paris sponsors bolero

which joins bodice and skirt, Great

Much of the present financial

New Ways to Reduce

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. L.
Il we are to remain nation of in
dividual homes rather than apart
ments, we must find new ways of re-
ducing the financial burden of the
single family owner, according to
Robert Whitten, New York City
planner.
The house owner must, in other
words, buy his neighborhood as well
as mis- house, and must select 1t with
a view to permanency and future
possibilities.
The planning expert was in Phil
adelphia to address the tenth Ma
tional Housing Conference. Before
this body he was to outline his pet
project, model neighborhood with
in the means of families which have
an income of $1,000 to $500 year.
This could be operated, Written
declares, on the equivalent of $50
a month rental for a five-room
house.
"The ideal neighborhood must
have all the functions and facilities
of a complete residence unit" he
said. 1T must have churches,
schools, shops, assembly halls,
clubs and small parks or commons.
ut must have a well-ordered ar
rangement Of these various func-
tions and facilities and local sys-
tenn OF circulation shat will not in

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS F!SUBFIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy-


 geia, the Health Magazine
 The winter season will soon be upon us. Already the chilling blasts of fall rouEhcn the hands and checks of the visitor to football games.
 Chapping does not usually occur in warm weather, because the skin secrctcs sufficient oily materials from the precipitation 10 keep the skin well creased and oiled. When skin gets dry it chaps When skin gets chappcd and moistened with water, blood and serum ooze through the cracks and crusts form.
 Obviously, the method of prevent Ing chapping of the skin is to keep the skin protected by suitable oils. to wash the skin only with non- irritating substances, and to dry the skin thoroughly after washing. The only way 10 escape the dry air and wind is to wear gloves on the hands and to keep the skin pro- tected by other methods.
 Women usually accomplish this by liberal use of creams and pow ders. Men are usually not so much troubled, because they have tough CT skin.
 Manufacturers of cosmetics have prepared all sorts of creams to be smeared on the face to prevent chapping, such as occurs during motoring Or during exposure on the football blcaChers. Any good cold cream will serve the purpose. Since the cream has a tendency to wear off, 1t is probably best to grease the skin once or twice during the day and before going to bed at night.
 If the chapping is very severe and painful, i. is probably wise for wo- men to wear gloves invariably and to wear a light veil to break the force of the wind and to hold in the moisture.

 So Striped Chipmunk sat for the longest time perfectly still right where he was. He saw nothing more of Shadow, so at last he ven- turcd to go back 10 the old stone wall along the cgdc of the Old Or chard. He had q lot of hiding places there and although that was just the place that Shadow would be likely to search for him, he felt that it would be safer for him to remain there the rest of that day than to take a chance of giving away the secret of his home. Beside, from the top of that old stone wall he could very nicely keep watch. So he spent the rest of the day there. Toward dusk he returned to his home, but he didn't return in his usual way. He went way around and approached 1t from another direction altogether That is how cautious Striped Chip munk was.

New Britain herald., 1929-10-22

New York, Oct. 22-One way of getting on in the theatrical world without an angel" it appears. is to pick quarrel with the cratic gc- nius Flo Zegfeld. He rarely elevates an actor or actress to stardom with out subjecting them eventually to a 1 neat banning, privately and publicly. Ziegfcld usually selects material from obscure quarters-the two-a- day or cabaret. Most of them leap, | like a trout to a fly, at the oppor- tunity to appear under his banner. In the theatrical world, they are made" After singing them to iron clad contracts he often goads them into frenzy.
 He sends taunting telegrams, phones them at inconvenient hours to whine some trivial complaint. re- sorts to Jaw if he thinks they have violated contracts even slightly, and otherwise keeps -hem perpertually in hot water. He is never so pleased as when they fight back.
 Few performers have carried the Ziegfeld brand in stellar roles with out reaching the top of the heap But the road is rocky and nearly all leave the fold with an ardent dislike | for him, which he returns with equal scorn. He makes no effort to hide an acid contempt for players. His method is as supple and de- vious as a wrestler, yet it has made him the absolute peer of the musical | comedy field. His snowman instinct | for dropping a player at the right time Is uncanny. It Is a Rialto pro- verb that when ZigGy turns them adrift they are washed up" Ziegfeld is calm and glum during rehearsals and seldom speaks to per | formers. His verbal shots are aimed and the director in turn 'simonle- grces' the company. On the night of dress rehearsal, Ziegfcld generally | blows up and goes berserkcr. He is terrible and white faced in | his fury. Nothing is right and every body is a miserable ham. No one | escapes his sibilant torrent Of sting ing sarcasm. He has them in state of exhaustion right up to curtain time on an opening night. Yet they usually rebound and give their fin est performance.

But her anxiety concerning "Richard Second" as she always carefully called her grandson, I could allay at once.

 That someone concerned in the job had been in the house before and knew just where everyone slept I said as steadily as I could. He knew also that no one would interfere with anything he did if he only would spare Junior. But that proves only how clever the men were in planning for a possible get away.

 When Allan is s. says his moth- CT, "I Il begin getting him some really nice books. Hes too young for them now. He'd only ruin them. See how he treats the ones I've giv- en him."
 No child is too young to take care of beautiful books, especially if he is fond of them. Children's books rever should be selected with an Eye to their choapness. From the very beginning they should be beau- tifully illustrated and nicely bound.
 Linen books are suitable only for the baby who still puts everything in his mouth.
 The child of two or more should have books with paper pages. He will learn through your example to cherish them. When you show him that you are sorry that a page has been torn, he will be sorry, too, pro- cided you do not scold him.
 Every child should have a book shelf in which he should be taught to keep his books when they are not in use. The ritual of choosing his book for the story hour and putting it hack again when it is over is a pleasant one which he will readily pCCCpt if the elders of the faniIv treat their books with care and keep them in orderly rows on the shelves.
 The place to learn the apprecia- tion of beautiful books is in the nursery.
