Causes of Dry Skin.

Dear Miss Leeds: My skin is very
dry and rough and my pores are getting
very large. T have been using the best
of face powders and also a good tissue
and cleansing cream. seldom use soap
and water. After powder my face my
skin shows its dryness most. I am 26
years old. think the powder causes
the dryness. What kind should I use?
RED HEAD.
Answer-Powder is defined in the
dictionary as collection of minute free
particles of dry substance. AS dryness
Is characteristic of substance when
it is in powder form, I do not think
you can find a face powder that is not
dry. There are, however. some heavy
grades of powder, called cold cream
powder, that are not so dry as other
types. feel sure, however, that a
change to another type would not help
you. You must correct the drynesS of
your skin and use the right powder
base; then any good brand of powder
will be satisfactory.
Excessive dryness is sometimes due to
lack of general physical fitness. The
underweight, nervous type of girl often
has a dry skin. Perhaps you do not
how to eat correctly, have doctors ad-
vice. At bedtime remove your makeup
with the cleansing cream, then wash
your face with warm water and pure
CASTLE soap; rinse of all the soap care
fully in clear, warm water, then battle
your face in cold water for a few min
utes, dry and rub in little Of your
tissue cream.
Leave the cream on about an hour
and then wipe OF the unabsorbed por-
ton. IF you do not wash your face
daily, I think you will find that your
pores will continue to enlarge. The
face powder settles in the pores and Is
not entirely removed by the cleansing
cream, so that it Is very important to
cleanse the pores well before applying
your tissue cream or an aStringent.
There are astringents in cream form
that would be suitable for you to use at
night. Use it also as a powder base.
OF course, never put fresh applica-
ton Of powder over an old one. Always
cleanse your skin before using powder.
then apply your creamy base wipe off
the excess and dust on the powder.

Detective Stories.

Detective stories occupy large space
on the American reading shelf today.
This means that they satisfy, more or
less completely, a psychological hunger
growing within the minds of those who
read them.
Our question now is, what are the
banes and blessings, If any, in the
reading of this sort of literature?
Modern living, despite its obvious ad-
vantages, must be drab: commonplace
and depressing to lots Of people. Rou-
tine tends to suppress individuality, to
feed a natural tendency toward a feel
ing Of inferiority.
A good detective story helps the stu
alton. The reader identifies himself
with the hero Of the story. For the
time being, at least, he asserts his mi
tiative and individuality, although it be
only a surrogate (substitute) fashion.
In his imagination the reader amounts
to something, is strong, alert, daring,
resourceful.
On the other hand, detective stories
as a steady mental diet are sure 70
lead to intellectual malnutrition. The
reader gets the habit of confusing real
ity with unreality. No one really sees
fully the world and its complicated rela-
lions in their true proportions.
Detective stories are day-dreams IN
print. Day-dreaming, valuable as 1t is
in helping to turn bewildering notions
into wholesome channels Of substan-
TALLY, has its limits. One may easily
20 so far as to live almost entirely in
the unreal world of imagination.
The results are anything but bene-
fetal. False values begin to edge their
way into every situation, coloring the
readers attitudes toward every real sit
uation, big and little. The feelings OF
inferiority are likely to be increased
imaginary solutions are likely to stifie
if not replace, every effort to seek rea
causes for things as they are.

My Neighbor Says:

If window cords are rubbed
twice a year with cloth dipped
in linseed oil they will last twice
as long.
To remove f1y-paper that has
stuck to an article. wet the spot
with kerosene Oil and let it soak
for about 10 or Is minutes, then
wash in hot water and a pure
white soap and rinse in luke
warm water. If the spot has not
disappeared try the kerosene
again.
Dry fullers earth will remove
spots and stains on a taffeta
dress. Rub it on and let stand
for an hour or so, then brush off.
To seal bottles with wax melt
eight ounces of beeswax and four
ounces of rosin in tin pail
placed on the back of the range.
Stir until we'll mixed. Put the
corks in the bottles and press
firmly, then invert the tops of
the bottles in the hot liquid.

Bridge Talks
BY MRS. JOHN MUNCE, Jr.

Continuing the discussion Of the
doubling of a one-suit bid, informator-
lily, when third or fourth hand doubles
one Of suit bid informatorily, they
should have at least six high cards with
which they are likely to take tricks.
Third hands double OF a second
hands bid, after dealer passes initially,
is less favorable position for an in
formatory double than second hand
While probably not having a trickless
hand, certainly dealer did not have a
hand containing sufficient strength to
bid, therefore third hand cannot ex-
pect normal assistance from the dealer,
and it Is not probable that third hand
will have strength enough to produce
satisfactory results alone 3
The most unfavorable position for an
infornaatory double is fourth hand, after
dealer bids. and second and third hands
pass because fourth hand is sitting on
the bidders right, and generally spoken
Of in a bridge game as under the bid
ding" and many high cards, kings for
instance, are apt to be losers when held
on the right Of the initial bidder.
There are many hands which look
very pretty, but are just short OF doub-
ling strength. For example, dealer bids
one club, and second hand holds:
Spades, queen and 7-spot.
bsaTs King sce ss ascn and ,ospo
Clubs, 8-spot, 6-spot, 4-spot and 3-spot.
AS this hand does not contain the re-
quired five high cards, you cannot dou-
BILE, you have no suit you could bid, and
as you have only two spades, which
would not be help for your partner
should he bid spades, you would pass.
This is splendid example of a hand
that is Just little too weak for dou-
BILE.
Another example, dealer has bid one
club and second hand holds the fol-
lowing:
Spades, ace, Jack and i0-spot.
Di i1Soi Ht jack KS s-spot and s-spot.
Clubs, T-spot and 5-spot.
Looking at this carefully you will see
there are two strong four-card major
suits, which makes this hand strong
enough to double, although you haven't
diamonds stopped.
AS an example of double that would
meet the approval of the most eXacting,
dealer has bid one club and second
hand contains the following cards:
Spades, ace. 1o-spot,- 7-spot and 5-spot.
Hearts, king. jack, 5-spot and 3-spot.
Diamonds, ace, queen and 6-spot.
Clubs, 4-spot and 2-spot.
Looking at this hand you will see
that you have the required five high
cards, or a stopper in each Of the three
undoubled suits, and each major suit
contains four cards.
To repeat for emphasis, the standard
informatory double Of suit bid tells
your partner that you are weak in that
suit and strong in the other three suits
and asks him to state his preference.

chair on the right at the long desk
like bench In the din1ly lighted court
chamber.
Justice Stone is easy to pick out from
his eight associates. The broad shoul-
ders, breadth Of forehead and breadth
OF law identify him. 1t Is not hard TO
believe that he was one OF the pest
guards ever to play foot ball at Am
herst..
Justice Stone came into the limelight
recently when the rumor was passed
around washington that President Hoo
yer would ask him to quit the Supreme
Court and accept the Craftsmanship OF
the Law Enforcement Commission.
Despite the fact that the junior JUS
tice has denied being asked by the
President or ever considering the task,
the rumor persists. 1t persists mainly
because between the two there Is a
fast friendship.
Justice Stone was in the Hoover fam
fly circle the night Hoover was nomi-
mated for the presidency at Kansas
City.
He fished with President-elect Hoover
OF Florida during the pre-inauguration
vacation.
He visited the executive Offices at the
White House for a friendly chat with
Hoover on the day he became President.
And, finally, he was among the first
asked to join the medicine ball aggre-
CATION that exercises back Of the White
House at 7 am.
Justice Stone was born 81 years ago
in Chesterfield, N. H. At Amherst he
studied science. His nickname there
was DOC"
He was graduated in law at Columbia
In 1898, became a professor there, then
Joined law firm and later returned to
Columbia as dean Of the law school In
1910.
In the first four years of his service
in the Supreme Court he wrote 108
opinions. Every legal question is OF
deep interest to him. He has no spe-
cialty.
Those who know him say a broad
understanding of humanity tempers his
justice.
The disposition of the President and
Mrs. Hoover to avoid ceremony as much
as possible is appealing tremendously tt
Washington officialdom, so accustomed
is 1t to an atmosphere Of rigid formality
White House guests are saying tina
the Hoovers' present life is little differ
emit from that in their pleasant s stree
home. The informal Sunday evening
supper parties are especially notable fol
their simplicity.
If the President has gone in for pub
lie economy he is showing no signs o
personal economy in the matter Of en-
PERTAINING. There are White Hous
guests for luncheon or dinner prett!
nearly every day. And such entertain
ing is paid for out Of the Hoovers' owl
pocket, for the public purse provide
only for state functions at the Whit
House.
There is an amusing story told Of
group who attended one OF the earlies
of these informal White House dinners
and sat around afterward waiting 10
their hosts to make the first move to
ward breaking up the party.
At all formal functions at the Execu
tive Mansion it is the custom OF tn
President and first lady TO withdraw a
soon as a suitable time has elapsed 10
after-dinner conversation. ALI throug
the Coolidge administration the sam
routine was followed at even the mos
informal gatherings.

Everyday Law Cases
May Acknowledgement Be taken
Ouer the Telephone?
BY THE COUNSELLOR

Mr.. and Mrs. Webster consented to
mortgage their property to Henry Stone
for the repayment of debt of 81 900.
When the mortgage was prepared by
Stones attorney, it was brought to Mr..
and Mrs. Webster for signature. n J.
Webster was unable at the time to pre-
sent herself before a notary public to
acknowledge the instrument. The mort
gage was accordingly taken by Stone
and Webster to a notary, who called
Mrs. Webster and took the affidavit
over the telephone.
The mortgage fell due and was not
paid and Stone instituted foreclosure
proceedings. Mrs. Webster brought suit
to restrain the proceedings, alleging
that the acknowledgment, having been
made by telephone, was invalid and
that the mortgage therefore was void.
The court sustained Mrs. Webster's
contention and declared the mortgage
void, stating:
1.-The majority of the cases which
have passed upon the point involved In
this matter hold that where the per-
sonal appearance of party before an
officer is a requirement Of the statute
an acknowledgment cannot be taken
over the telephone"

Knack i'm Wearing Clothes
BY MARY MARSHALL.

buy these bags eagerly enough most OF
them still wear them under one arm
The new jackets for daytime wear are
made to be buttoned securely at low
front closing or to hang free and
straight-but many women still cling to
the old trick of holding these jackets
closed in the way that was necessary
with the old type of wrap-around wrap.
Then there are women who have a
sure knack of adopting the new way
of wearing clothes so that even in last
years dresses and wraps and hatS-that
have undergone only a very little altera-
tion-they can look entirely up to date.
They are so quick to sense and adopt
the new way of wearing clothes.
The new daytime jackets as I said
are to be worn either securely buttoned
or hanging straight and free. Many of
them are made without buttons or
fastening of any sort. The new cardi-
gans are many of them made in this
way. They hang straight down from
the shoulders to low hipline accentuat-
ing the slender line of the dress
beneath.
Fancy stitches that any one can make
and that give distinction to cotton or
linen frockS for Summer. That is the
subject for this weeks Help for the
