GRADUAL FILLING DECIDED BEST
PLAN FOR EAST POTOMAC PARK
Level Being Raised Near Rail Embark
ment and Problem of Standing
Water Is Tackled.

Periodic floods and some settling of
the filled-in land in places have taught
the office of Public Buildings and Pub
lie Parks of the necessity of gradually
filling in East Potomac Park to bring
up the level Of the land there. Lieut..
Col. u. s. Grant, Sd, the director, said
today that 1t Is considered inadvisable
to endeavor to complete this program
all at once, for not only would 1t mar
the beauty of the park. but would entail
expense for which there is no real ur-
gency.
The park level is now being raised
south Of the railroad embankment. soil
eXcavated from foundations for the new
Government buildings being utilized for
this purpose.
The problem OF standing water in
East Potomac Park is being tackled also
by the building of the sidewalk on top
of the sea wall on the Washington
Channel side, for large and small drains
are being built in as the construction

proceeds designed to aid in draining
of the water.
While some planting is lost by the
flood in East Potomac Park. officials ex-
planned that this is compensated for by
the natural expansion OF the plants
themselves, citing the example Of the
iris, which develops natural accretions
and are separated periodically to form
fresh plants. The trees in the park
make 1t inadvisable to raise the land
level all at once, the officials said.
Next year when funds become avail
able the sidewalk on top of the sea
wall will be extended around from
Hams Point up along the Potomac
River side of the park. This construc-
ton work on the sea walls hanking East
Potomac Park means that there will be
some filing in of land to bring the
earth level higher, although there will
be curbing of few inches left. The
drainage arrangements are expected to
draw off any water left standing by
reason Of this curbing.

CLEAN KIDNEYS

Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
if Bladder Bothers
or Back Hurts.

Eating too much rich food may
produce kidney trouble in some
form, says a well-known authority,
because the acids created excite the
kidneys. Then they become over

cause all sorts of distress, particu-
larly backache and misery in the
kidney region, rheumatic twinges,
severe headaches, acid stomach,
constipation. torpid liver, Sleepless-
ness, bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right. or if
bladder bothers you, begin drinking
lots of good water and also get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any good pharmacy; take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
Breakfast for a few days and your

HOOD looking homes are depend
" ent for their beauty upon the
thought put into them, not the
money expended on them. Costly
rooms with elaborate and overornate
furniture frequently show less taste
than tiny cottage looms, in which
harmony is the keynote.
It is an asset for the housewife
to start planning her home, before
she has a stick of furniture to put
into it. Then she will not have
rooms of which she is aShamed-on
which the. door is closed to guests.
Most important of all is the back
ground. If a limited amount of
money is available fer decorating
and for furniture, the first thought
should be put on. the background.
The main pieces for the foreground
can come later. -
TINE finish of the floors and cell
+ 4 ings, walls and woodwork must
be suitable and harmonious. Once
these things are satisfactory, the
lines of the furniture, and the color
in the room will begin to adjust
themselves.
A room in which simple furniture,
designed with good lines, though it
be made of pine or cherry, is cheer
fully arranged as to the complete
ensemble, is far better than an Ill
assorted combination of hodge
podge pieces of expensive furniture,
whose lines lack harmony, and
whose colors fight with each other.

ize. Spanish furniture is popular
today, but it should not be combined
with Colonial; however, Colonial de-
signs and contemporaneous English
and Provincial French models would
adjust themselves nicely.
Beautiful rooms, then, must be
carefully planned, and every corner
must make a pleasant picture, while
fitting into the scheme of the whole.

Spirituality
Needed for
Happiness
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

Two prominent literary women
recently INDUCED in a seri0Is debate
as to whether the modern woman
is happier or less so than her grand
mother. Excellent arguments were
voiced on each side but at the end
of the discussion a nearer found
himself unconvinced and firmly en-
joying his original opinion, which
is generally the result of debates.
When it comes right down to real
happiness, whatever that elusive
something may be, we probably
possess no more of it than our an
cestral cave mothers. Sometimes it
looks as if we had less.
But certainly we have more rea-
son to be happy than any women
who have ever lived on the earth.
If we fail to attain content it is be-
cause of some lack within ourselves
and not by reason of deprivation.
Whether we are more happy or
more miserable, one thing is quite
sure, no sensible modern woman
would change places with the old
fashioned sort or sigh with regret
for the olden days.
There is and always has been a
deal of senseless chatter about the
happiness of the old-faShioned
woman of long ago. Most of the
time what appeared content was
merely resignation. While there
were probably plenty of contented
women, many of them also were
undoubtedly frustrated and miser-
able souls who, knowing that life
held nothing better for them, SIM
ply made the best of whit they had
Much of that sweetness of DISPOSE
ton we hear SO much about was
submission, endurance or plain ig-
norance.
The old-fashioned woman had
only one advantage over us so far
as being happy was concerned. She
was schooled to forget herself. AS
was the custom of her day, when
she walked to the altar she lost
her identity and became a married
woman and nothing more. For her
romance was over. Life as we know
it was done. She became a shadow
present, a ininistering wife and de-
voted mother, and she knew that
save to her own babies, she was OF
no Importance. She had, therefore
soul discipline that we lack.
Today's woman believes that
without her the world would not
wag. Hence her restlessness, her
silly antics, her mistakes. The
quality we lack for happiness today
is a certain spiritual humility. With
out it no being is ever happy.

Black Eyes
Preferred to
Infidelity
BY MARTHA LEE

It's a strange thing, but do you
know that the average woman
would rather take a beating from
her husband than have him prove
unfaithful to her? She would rather
go around the house for days, nurs-
ing black eye and cut lip than
to have to go around nursing in
jured pride.
/ suppose 1t is because, instructive
ly a woman, regardless of how dull
and stupid she is, of how impossible
it would be to analyze her reasons
for this point of view. feels safer
with an injury that she can see and
feel and take care of, than one so
intangible and Elusive as broken
spirit.
She can go to a mirror and say:
See, I have a black eye" Besides
that, she has the injury in plain
sight, where every time her husband
comes near her, he is reminded of
the fact that he has been cruel.
But you can't flaunt hurt pride
very successfully. You can't heal it
very Well. l suppose that is why so
many women would rather be black
and blue than insufficient.
Unfaithfulness invariably makes
woman think she has failed in
something; that she has not lived
up to the bargain.

GROWING LADS
NEED FOODFACTS
Parents Should Explain the
Place of Sugar in Nutritious
Diets

Thoughtless parents sometimes
tell their children that sweets are
bad for them. This is misleading.
An eminent specialist states posi-
lively that it is not good sense to
deny children sugar. Sugar may
properly form a part of the regular
diet in the kitchen and on the table.
Proper nutrition to children is so
important that patient parents take
the time and the trouble to explain
it in detail. Medical authorities are
warning the public these days to see
that growing children and young
people understand the Importance
of eating enough nourishing food.
Young girls must be watched or
they will become victims of the
dangerous craze for slimness--be-
coming thereby easy prey to tubercu-
losis and other diseases.
Teach your children that it is
dangerous not to eat plenty of body
building, health-giving, energy-de-
veloping foods. Sugar is invaluable
in making all kinds of healthful
cereals, fresh and canned vegetables
and fruits more palatable and
enjoyable.
Children will eat nutritious foods
with more zest if they are properly
sweetened with natures ideal flavor.
Sugar is food in it's least expensive
form. Modern candies containing
nuts, fruits, milk, chocolate and
sugar make excellent desserts. Most
foods are more delicious and nour-
ishing with sugar. The Sugar
