there should be any variation at all
from the form. There are three i'm
portant laws of mental and physical in
heritance which must be regarded at
the same time in order to understand
the general process.
/. The law of heredity tends to trans
nit without change the traits of one
generation to the next. This Is the
conservative element in evolution. And
If there were no other laws to offset
1t there could be no true progress.
2. The law of variation Is responsible
for introducing new traits. This law
accounts for the freaks of nature, which
are technically called sports" Without
the law of variation Luther Burbank
could never have produced new. fruits
and new flowers. Nor could cattle and
poultry breeders produce different and
better breeds.
8. The law of repression Is buffer
between the law of heredity and the law
of variation. Its function is to see to
it that variation does not 60 too far.
The three laws cooperate to form a
system of checks and balances which
provide for change and progress with
out the danger of breaking up the
species.
And these laws hold for both mental
and physical traits. It is chiefly the
law of repression which explains why
brsiliy men do not always have brainy
children.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, May 81
Hollywood beauties have adopted the
Verte makeup for evening. 1t is espe-
cially popular with fair-skinned types.
An exquisite luminosity of the skin is
the keynote of the new effect, and the
effect itself Is achieved by using face
powder of a subtle, pale green shade.
With this green powder is used an
eyelid paste of a slightly deeper green
tone, blended subtly into the skin until
It is hardly diStinguishable. The result
is a strange and arresting clarity which
enhances the charm of all save the ex-
ceedingly brunette.
Hollywood's Verte face is really moth
ing astonishingly new but rather re-
vival of the Oldest beauty secret in the
world. Phryne, the courtesan whose
loneliness, revealed in court, swayed a
jury, affected the green face. The
name Phryne meant frog, and was
given her because of the luminous green
of her skin.
While beautiful ladies are greening
their eyelids, song writer's in the colony
are turning out hits at a rate that
makes you dizzy to even hear about.
In one studio the big note-and-reSt
men are wondering If rest is ever to be
found outside of bar of music. They
have been driven at such a pace that
35 songs have been launched since Feb
ruary 8, and at least eight of them are
hits, say the genties who paid for them.
When you're bored in Beverly Hills

Ghert duration. All was done for
him that loving hands could do,
but death came to relieve his suf-

80 years had known him, will know
him no more, for he has passed on
to join those who have gone before.

SOUP TO START
THE MEAL RIGHT

Soups, being served at the be-
ginning of the meal as they are, act
in the case of bouillon and con-
somme, more or less as an appetizer
but the cream soups and other
hearty soups contribute to the food
value of the meal. Such soups are
an ideal way to add. variety to the
home dinner or luncheon, says Miss
Inez S. Wilson, home economics
director of the National Live Stock
and Meat Board, and indeed may
really be considered the main dish
of the meal as in the French Pot au
Feu. The recipes given below are
for soup which may be classed as
hearty soups.
Soup With Marrow Dumplings
Chop very finely ounces of beef
marrow and stir it smooth with 2
whole eggs, salt, pepper, pinch of
sugar, and sprig of finely minced
parsley. Add 2 cups fine crumbs of
bread 1 day old and a little onion
juice. Stir until smooth and place it
in the refrigerator so that the mix
ture will stiffen. When ready to use,
form into balls about the size of
a walnut, put them into the boiling
soup and let them cook slowly for
Milford chronicle., 1929-11-29

Is minutes. The dumplings should
be light and porous but should not
fall apart. They may be tested by
boiling one in salt water and then
adding more bread crumbs to the
dough if necessary.
Soup With Riced Liver
Chop finely 1-3 pound of calf's liv-
er; mash through fine sieve. Cook,
but do not brown, one tablespoon of
minced onion in one tablespoon of
butter; when soft add one tea
spoon minced parsley, salt and pep
per, and the inside of two slices of
bread which have been soaked in
water and squeezed dry. Stir thor
oughly and add one egg and just
enough flour to have smooth, thick
flowing mixture. Five minutes be-
fore serving, pass it through a
coarse sieve into the soup and let it
cook for this length of time. Remove
with a strainer and put some in
each soup plate; then pour over it
the hot beef soup.

Or you can start fresh with an
ordinary terra Gotta flower pot and
decorate it according to your
own fancy. Stencil designs and
decalcomania transfers will be of
great assistance in planning the
decorations. For the sake of dura-
bility, the transfers should be
shellacled after they have been
applied and for the same reason
it is also advisable to give the
pot a final coat of varnish.
Before painting, the pot should
be thoroughly dry, as the paint
will not adhere firmly to a damp
surface. If the plant is already in
the pot, it should be removed with
the soil and transferred to another
pot or placed in a newspaper dur
ing the process of painting.
Acceptable at all times of the
year, the decorated flower pot
commands particular interest as we
approach the holiday season. For
the potted plant like the box of
candy is a universal Christmas gift,
since it may be a gift of affection
or just a mere return for favors
received.
Milford chronicle., 1929-11-29

"HERE may be times when
we go too far In poking fun
at the taste of other genera
tions, but one by-product of the
mauve decade which certainly
merits our jeers is the clumsy
jardiniere. Squatty and cumber-
some and seldom of pleasing color,
it had to be obscured beneath over
hanging plants in order to achieve
Sny semblance of grace. Today
the flower pot is as decorative as
its contents. The geranium on the
kitchen window sill, the azalea in
the living-room, and the trailing
ivy and spreading fern in the sun
parlor, are all planted in pots that
intensity their natural charms. Co
bait blue, brilliant yellow, apple
green, vivid reds, offer a wide
choice, making it possible to har-
monize the pot with the co1ors of
the plant and fit it in with the
decorative scheme of the room.
And if the plant is moved from
one room to another, where it
clashes with the furnishings, the
pot can easily be painted, enameled
or lacquered with a new color.

If one wants to know just exact
ly why the president of the United
States ha SCALED the big industrial
leaders of the country to Washing
ton for conferences all a person
needs to do is to face facts.
The stock market crash either
brought on business depression
throughout the United States or the
crash itself was the result of such
depression. Figure it in either di-
rection and the answer is the same.
1t is certain that many industries Of
the country have been curtailing
production and adjusting their af-
fairs anticipating decreased demand
for their products. At the same time
the big manks of the country have
been compelled to take very con-
servative steps for their own pro-
lection.
While this has been going on
there have been plenty of assur-
ances that Everything is all right
with business and industry" But in
the face of actual conditions a good
deal of this optimism appears to be

The White House conferences
started with the railroad presidents
who. assured President Hoover that
projected railway construction and
improvements would go forward

Public improvements by the Federal
and State Governments are to be

House conferences it is expected to
loosen banking credit to stimulate
industry generally and to head off
any serious unemployment this win

This is not the first time that the
Federal Government has taken

years and used it's enormous power.
