TRIAL FACING
MANY DELAYS.
Long Legal Battles To
Precede Final
Testimony

With two citations upon the p.
+. Collier and Son Publishing COM
pany already quashed, at least three
legal skirmishes viii be fought be-
fore the r. 3. Creager-C ollier's
$i,o0o.ooo libel suit can 60 to trial.
The last development In the case
came at Houston Monday when
Federal Judge j. G. Hutchinson. Jr.,
quashed a citation served upon +. G..
Spaulding at Houston as agent OF
the publishing company" The hear
ing ON this motion was held by
Judge Hutchinson when the federal
district court was in session at
Brownsville. He kept the motion
under advisement until he returned
TO Houston.
Spaulding was served the second
time when he appeared as a witness
here. The last citation alleged
Spaulding TO be "the agent Of the
distributing corporation which is
the agent Of the publishing COM
pany." This the defendants deny,
holding that Spaulding is merely
the collector Of the distributing
firm which Is mot the agent Of the
publishing company"
Action Soon
Judge Hutchinson Is expected 10
act on this third citation some time
this week at Houston.
Meanwhile, the defendants have
filed two new motions. The first
asks for a change Of venue on the
grounds that a fair and impartial
jury could not be picked in the
Valley. The second asks in case
the change Of venue is not granted,
that q special jury be selected from
other sections Of the district.
AS the case now stands, Creager
has the distributing corporation IN
court as defendants, but not the
the publishing company. Creager,
national republican committeeman,
says: II regret the fact that the
publishing firm is striving to keep
out Of court. Although at first they
stated they were ready to 60 to
bat they have been using dilatory
tactics since. ! have done nothing
to delay the trial and that will
continue to be my attitude"
1t would be impossible TO get SER
vice on high officials Of the publish
ing company in the east, attorneys
tor the plaintiff state. However.
that would mean that another suit
would have to be filed in the dis
trict where the citation was served,
they add. This would separate the
suits against the two firms.

Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

July e.. 1S67.-It is estimated that
Washington City now has more dogs
than the famous dog-infested city of
Constantinople. It would require no
great stretch Of the imagination to sup
pose 1t possible for the united howl of
the dogs Of this city to equal or even
surpass the hideous noise made by the
dogs Of that ancient city.
No one has been able to estimate the
extent to which Washington has been
impoverished by maintaining this canine
swarm.
Trade languishes, improvements are
checked and the general prosperity Of
the city Is blasted by reason of the
burden Of dogs" says The Evening Star
today. Not many months ago a citi-
zen who at one time was considered a
millionaire went to the poorhouse fol-
lowed by IS dogs who had eaten up his
substance.
People doing business in Washington
are seeking places Of residence outside
the city and in Baltimore because Of
our dog nuisance. Their custom is lost
to our tradesmen and the latter are
thus injured by the nuisance of dogs.
In fact, the city is going to the dogs "
An English traveller wrote recently
that. on nearing Washington. he was
appalled, by the unearthly bowling of the
QoBs. he designated IL as the God
forsaken, dog Impoverished City of
Washington
Physicians say that much of the in
crease In nervous diseases here is due
to the wakefulness and excitability
caused by the noise made by the dogs
at night.
The evil has at last attracted the at
tention of the City Councils. Alder
man TAFT of the nth ward has Just
introduced bill to establish a dog
pound. The bill provides that any dog
found running at large on the streets
between June / and October / of each
year may be secured by any person and
taken to the pound. Persons bringing
in dogs will receive reward of SO cents
for each dog.
The dogs may be released from the
pound only when the owners pay a pen
atty Of 81, plus rs cents for every day
o dog remains In the pound. In addi-
ton, q person who permits dog to run
loose on the streets shall be subject to
a fine of IS. and II he resists the pound
keeper in the performance Of his duty,
such person shall be subject to a fine
Of e25.

Fate.

Do you believe there is anything in the
anything TO DO with ones destiny? P. e. l..
Reply.
It would hardly be worth while to de-
vote an article to this question alone,
but the attitude that underlies the ask
ing of 1t Is well worth consideration.
doubt whether If you sat up all night
observing the planets or not-you
could think of anything that has less
to do with human fate than those same
remote, maligned luminarieS with their
fanciful names satisfying to an early
stage Of the imagination.
AS have explained before, the
original astrology belongs to state of
knowledge thousands of years old. when
a magical and mystical view Of life, and
the forces conditioning 1t, prevailed.
That view never died out, but was re-
vived again and again with new elabora-
lions equally fanciful, notably in the
medieval days known as the Dark Ages,
when the human Intellect went into a
decline. Later for time real astron-
omers had to be astrologers on the side
to keep their positions at court, but
fully aware Of the absurdity Of such a
parody of science as q horoscope.
To dig among this debris Of civiliza-
ton as though it had any relation to
our kind of science is the height of
folly Your horoscope Is about like a
knight in armor driving an auto on
Broadway. That absurdity may be dis
missed. Men at some time are masters
of their fates: The fault. dear Brutus,
is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that
we are underlings"
But this notion Of fatalism Is more
serious matter. Many religion has in
corporated it into its doctrines, holding
that our destiny lies in the laps of the
gods and that it is useless to struggle
against 1t, whatever may be the set Of
ordained forces that bring 1t about The
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-07-25
KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

Greeks had their Erynyes. wearing the
threads of destiny, but this was as much
myth as belief. The Mohammedan idea
of Kismet comes nearer to a practical
application. and may act as an Offset to
fear, for II one Is doomed to die In
battle or to come unScathed, one may as
well enter the fray fearlessly. The prac-
tical Yankee combined his faith with
shrewdneSS. believing both in God and
in keeping his powder dry.
But once we understood better the
sources that enter into human behavior
our ideas of fate take q different form.
Though our fate lies not in our stars
but in ourselves, those selves may be
looked upon as pretty rigidly defined as
to their possibilities. We come to speak
Of our heredity as well as of our luck.
OF course We can't make ourselves over,
but have to get along with the kind of
body and mind with which nature en-
dowed us. Does a belief in heredity inn
ply fatalism? Very far from 1t.
From a practical point Of view we are
all-except the most unfortunate-free
enough to do and become what we can
make of ourselves. Time spent in be-
moaning our fate Is wasted, and the
notion that the dice are loaded against
us a weak delusion. OF course, we are
taking our chances, but that's part Of
the game. A good sport isn't fatalist
Some people hold that we all start at
about scratch, and there aren't any
serious handicaps. Believe us and be
an optimist. Ours is the hopeful doc
trine. To believe in heredity chokes
your efforts" The purpose Of science
isn't to make us hopeful, but to see
things as they are. No! We can't all be
Presidents or millionaires or poets or
inventors or set the Thames or the Hud-
son on fire, or even raise a confiagra-
ton in the village stream. We all have
our limitations and 1t is good common
sense to recognize them. But that
doesn't shift the responsibility either to
your ancestors or to the stars or the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-07-25
MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.
when lose my face becomes thin.



BROWN EYES.
Answer-Build up your weight to the
average figure for your age and height,
or a little higher If necessary, and at
the same time take special hip-reducing
exercises such as I have suggested to
Mrs. D. S. r. The hips become wide
when one leads sedentary life. OF
course, you realize that it is natural for
some girls to have full and for others
to have slender, long faces. You can
not change your natural type. To make
your face seem fuller, wear your hair
rather fluffy at the sides. show the lobes
of your ears and wear bangs or a low
side part. LOIS LEEDS.
Reducing Fat Face.
Dear Miss Leeds: My cheeks are
rather fat. Can reduce them by mas
sage and exercise? ANXIOUS.
Answer could advise you better if
knew your age weight and height. II
you are much overweight. the loss of
a few pounds would make your face
thinner. If, however, your weight Is
normal or below the average, you be-
long to the type of girls whose faces arc
naturally plump. In this case do not
think that massage and exercise would
help you much. One cannot change
ones natural type. You may make
your face seem less broad by dressing
your hair so as to give an illusion of
length to the face. Use a high side
part, let the full height of your fore
head show and bring the side hair for
ward over your ears and on to your
cheeks. LOIS LEEDS.

am a constant reader OF your coll
umns and have found your suggestions
very helpful. Now I would like to
know II you could advise me in the
matter of diet. I am IS years old,
weigh 100 pounds and am feet l inch
in height. I would like to lose at least
IS pounds, but I do not know just what
to eat. I am on my feet all day long
and when I come home at night I am
too tired to walk or exercise. Any help
you can give me in the way of a re-
ducing diet will be much appreciated
Mrs. z. S.
It Is always nice to know that people
find my suggestions and articles useful.
In regard to the kind of diet you should
use, there are several factors that should
be considered. So often, when a per-
son who is as active as you are is SO
much over weight there is some ply
Biological condition that causes it. 1t
might be best before you follow the
diet I am suggesting, and which is
merely a reducing diet, to see a doctor
and have a thorough physical exami-
nation to determine whether there is
any glandular disturbance that causes
your overweight.
Doctors are generally agreed that
the best all-round reducing diet is
made up of a regular mixed diet using
smaller amounts of each food than
would be ordinarily taken. Many peo-
pie eat so much more than they need
and the extra, of course, goes to make
fat. Often all that IS necessary to do
Is to cut down the amounts of food
eaten, especially the Starches and fats
A suggested diet is as follows:
For breakfast = One medium sized
raw apple or an orange, or one-half
grapefruit without sugar; soft boiled
or poached egg. one slice Of toast very
slightly buttered and one cup Of coffee
with skim milk and one-hah teaspoon
of sugar, or better still, none at all
For luncheon-A sandwich of rye
bread and lean meat, or slice of cold
lean meat and two thin slices of rye
bread and lettuce and tomato salad
or dish Of coleSlaw, or a fruit salad
with French dressing tno mayonnaise
or whipped cream; or a cottage cheese
and lettuce salad. A dish Of spinach
with poached egg, or hot vegetable
plate made ur largely of green vege-
tables, or a cup Of hot vegetable soup
may be used instead of the meat.
For dinner-Boiled or baked fish or
q lean piece OF roast boiled beef, veal
or mutton: a large serving of caun-
flower or cabbage or any green vege-
table; one-half Of boiled potato and
plain lettuce or watercresS salad with
a little French dressing; fresh fruit if
desired, and small cup of black
coffee
If you feel hungry in the middle of
the afternoon take cup of hot water
or a cup Of tea with lemon and
cracker.
It Is never good to try to reduce a
