HOROSCOPE
Sunday, January 81.

Benefic aspects will rule tomorrow,
according 10 astrology, which proclaims
as active the most harmonious and
stimulating planetary influences.
They who stay close at home, jour-
neying only to churches or to the homes
of friends, should benefit from this
direction of the stars
The rule favors the clergy and all
intellectual leaders, who should find the
pubic responsive to appeals to the
higher aspiration.
Churches should benefit financially
tomorrow, when there is forecast for
the public the sort of sympathy with
good living that inspires generous gifts
Tor charity or philanthropies.
There Is much promise for writer's,
and letters should be peculiarly effec-
tive IN bringing together the thoughts
of friends.
Lovers who desire speedy marriage
are believed to be we'll directed under
this government of the stars, which
seems to promise increased incomes
and improved conditions for men who
assume domestic responsibilities.
Women may incline toward coouetrv
and even deceit, but they will make
little impression except through sin
certify and truthfulness, the seers
warn.
There is a sign read as auspicious
for evening gatherings, especially where
relatives or old friends assemble.
Warning is given by astrologers that
| the Winter will bring for persons in

tons to live beyond their incomes.
Speculation by men and women who
should never risk money will prove
disastrous In many cases, it is foretold.
In the stars are read indications that

| spiritual things. Authors are born un-
der this sign of Aquarius.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, January 90
The unexpected has happened so often
in Movieland of late that only the con-
ventional thing is surprising.
Conrad Veidt, three months ago the
prize of the studios. Is out on his par
ticular lot with a perfectly good blank
contract in his hand, and every one in
the business that once was pantomime
is looking right over his head listening
for voice.
No better actor ever came out of
Europe than Veidt. The roles he has
enacted here have made cinema his
tory. He bought q lovely home. had a
beach and palm trees installed at his
swimming pool. and even in Hollywood,
where they are accustomed to live up
to the last nickel of their credit, that
is a gorgeous extravaganza.
Lars Hansen simply returned to his
native land and to the traditions and
standards of its stage when Hollywood
tried to rubber-Stamp him in its genial
way.
Hansen wanted to act, not collect a
salary and drive about town in a motor
that looked as if it had temperature
of 103 degrees. When he decided that
all the acting was being done in Europe
he went back there, and is making a
version of THE Strange Interlude" in
his own language.
Hansen is one of the handsomest men
who ever came to this country to act
in the cinemas. but he thought little of
himself and much of his calling and
turned his shoulder on movies before
they turned on him.

The story was that of a Hungarian
girl who comes to America and is a
waitress in New York quick-lu
joint. The eXigencies of the role ar
ranged for Vilna'S Hungarian accent.
But producers didn't stop to think that
in surrounding her with cast of peo-
pie trained to talk they threw her voice
into the discard. She sounded inef-
fectual and stilted. So another of the
good old silent variety will be given the
public.

Wide Brims Predicted for Spring
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Brimmed hats are timidly making
their appearance in shop windows.
Fairly wide brims have been predicted
Tor Spring and Summer and many
women welcome the prediction with
open arms, being convinced that the
very closely fashioned brimless hat is
decidedly trying. But so long as
weather requires or permits the fur
collared coat, so long as women wear
FUR collars with street frocks or suits.
the closely fitting hat, brimless in effect
If not in fact, will remain with us.
The brimleSs. close fitting hat was
really a necessity with fur collars when
women dropped the graceless fashion
of wearing hats perched on top of a
padded pompadour. The hat held itself
aloof in those days and was high above
the highest collar.
The crowns of all hats still keep the
sculptured line, whether they come
down over the browS or not Reboux
has launched number of intriguing
hats or caps that rise upward at the
back to reveal curlS of half-grown hair,
but even these are closely fitted to the
head.
There really is no excuse for wearing
an unbecoming hat this season, nor will
there be in the season to come. There
is an endless variety of ways in which
the small draped hat may be nodded to
the head and just as wide variety in
the way the close-fitting skullcap may
be cut across brows and ears. Even with
the rather severe brimmed felt sports
hat the narrow brim is seldom regular.
1t is wider in one place than another
or may be cut entirely away in certain
places. And all these variations in
the procedure of the really expert MILL
ner are made to suit the demands of
face and feature of the women for whom
they are intended.
The hat shown in the sketch is curved
roundly down over the forehead in a
way that is admirable for the girl who
finds the bare forehead effect too trying.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRoWLs.
The Old Man.


Experimental psychology is demolish-
ing one foolish notion after another es-
pecially pet notions about the mental
nature Of human beings, both men and
women.
To take an example Since the late
World War there has been lot of talk
about the young mans age" Since
the boys" fought in Flanders and else
where, making 1.-The world safe for
democracy" there has been tendency
to give them the keys to everything, to
endow them with powers they could not
and do not possess.
The glories of war tend to exalt the
lnglories OF peace. Judgment about the
Judgmental abilities of young men,
their capacity to learn, their leadership,
ETC.. underwent during the last decade
a general confusion with ability to with
stand physical hardship.
Psychologically speaking, there never
has been a young mans age, nor is
there likely to be. Every age has been
an "old mans age" and every age to
come will be the same 1t stands to
reason that nothing save experience,
and that extending over a relatively
long period OF time, can really equip a
mans mind for the business of making
p.AS SN~'SA oNJNoOhlCAAto W 4IAC-t. t., III
the long run
No man is at his best in the 3Os. al
though there are lot of good and wise
men OF that age. You will find more
and better men, so far as mental abili-
ties go, somewhere in the Cos, and even
later. All this despite the ravages of
general physical incapacities and of
death.
Experimental psychology has proven
beyond all doubt that the average man
at As is just as plastic mentally as his
son of is. They learn the languages
just as readily, and if anything, little
better Such psychological facts mean
something; the mind does not harden
with the arteries; nor does it get twist
ed merely because its posSessor develops
curvature of the spine.
The Older man needs a little defense
these days. A few years hence he will
need none. incidentally, if you want to
ruin good business turn it over to the
half-baked boy who has just graduated
from some university. Radical notions,
unwarranted expectations and vaulting
ambition can never take the place of
sober philosophy and conservative esti-
mates of how the old world is likely to
wag.
Gray hairs, or perhaps none at all,
should be respected.

household. Voices were kept low. No
one ever screamed at the child and
told her to mind, and consequently
Joan did not scream back. Nancy had
learned that a child is a wonderful
mirror of a grown-up. One day she
was tired and spoke sharply to Joan
when the child did not respond at her
first call. Joan's face had just as
many frowns as her aunts; her voice
was just as sharp when she said, I'm
coming, can't you wait a minute?"
From that time on her aunt tried
to speak as she would be spoken to.
She set an example to Joan in other
ways. When company came Joan

Dear Miss Leeds: What is the general

with these blemishes until last Sum-
mer. MARY Lon
Answer-You are six pounds below
the average weight for your age and
height. This underweight may indicate
a poor physical condition which is the
underlying cause of the blemishes. Your
diet is probably at fault. Lemonade is a
good thing to take If there Is a tendency
toward bolls; drink a glassful the first
thing in the morning.
During the day drink six glassfuls of
water between meals. Eat raw salads
twice day. Eat plenty of spinach and
other succulent vegetables and fruits.
Avoid candy, rich pastries, tea and cof-
fee. Be very careful to avoid constipa:
ton. Exercise outdoors every day for an
hour or two at least. If the condition
does not respond to these treatments,
see doctor. OF course, you must have
a we'll balanced diet, including bread.
milk protein foods and starches, as well
as the other items have mentioned.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

January IS, 1S56.-There was much
interest and a very large audience,
composed mostly of women, tonight to
hear DR.. Sayer lecture on the ''absurdi-
ties" of modern wOmen'S fashions. The
affair took place in Temperance Hall,
where it seems to have become a Gus
tom that all performances shall begin
either with total disappearance of
the gaslight or continue with such a
feeble, Pickering glare as scarcely to
make darkness visible"
Two tallow candles-4O to the pound
were substituted and by these the
doctor endeavored to read her lecture.
She took it all very coolly, however, 60
ing on a while with her lecture and
then stopping to snuff a candle But by
the time one was attended to the snuff
on the other had grown an inch and a
half, so there was plenty for her to do
besides lecture. She remarked that If
audience would be much edited.
There was great curiosity to see the
doctor. She is a fine "gentlemanly"
looking person and there was gen.
eral murmur of admiration when she
made her first appearance. She pro-
ceeded to deliver her lecture in a clear,
strong voice, and the way she dashed
the "follies of fashion and showed up
the absurdities of long, dabbling skirts.
Whalebone hoops" and similar articles
of that class was a caution to the
modern mantua makers" as one of her
hearers expressed it.
She showed no mercy to those men,
berS of her own sex who "nourished
their sickly sensibilities upon idleness,
charcoal and chalk" and she spoke in
anything but respectful manner of
such things as cosmetics and rouge.
She referred to the women of Greece
as strong minded women" of the sort
who had temples and monuments raised
to them. She insisted that the women
of today are so 'shackled by fashion
that they scarcely dare call their souls
their own. less it should become I'M
fashionable to have souls"
The lecture was received with con-
tinuous and hearty applause. but 1t was
surmised from remarks made by some
of her hearers afterward that very few
of them would profit by it.

For this you will need four pork
chops, four medium-sized potatoes, one

half cupfuls of milk, one Tablespoonful
of butter, and salt and pepper. Place
a layer of the potatoes, sliced, in a
buttered casserole and season. Dredge
lightly with -four and dot with bits of

or lifted from one part of the closet

be made into such simple step with

styles of steps that have several treads
like a Stepladder. One of these shows
two steps beneath a third, all equally
distant from one another. This con-
trlvance is as wide as the top step. no
wider. Each step slides into place with
a spring arrangement of heavy metal
when the steps are closed. The steps
drop onto the floor absolutely firm and
steady when opened. The topmost box
on the topmost shelf of a high closet
can be reached by a person standing
on such steps when opened. When
closed the steps take very little room.

wanted for garment hangers, it is p
simple matter to have a rod fixer with
pulleyS so that it can be raised and
lowered without any effort except
locSening a cord or gently pulling it. A

rod and extra hangers can be made to
hold twice the number of garments
possible otherwise.

The space at the top of closet is
Just as valuable as that lower down
when it comes to a capacity for holding
things. 1t is often left totally unused
because it is SO inaccessible. Since
there are ways of making this space
easily accessible, it is a great mistake to
allow it to be empty; that is, unless the
home maker has all the closet room she
can use without it. Few have, how
ever.
If the closet has shelves, they can be
continued to the top of the closet,
spacing them to suit the articles they
are to hold. To make them within
easy reach, steps will be needed. There
are many kinds of steps that can be
had for just such purposes. One style
consists of single tread with raised
bar to grab hold of when getting up or
