Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

July 81. lS13.-The British feet,
which has been in the lower Potomac
River recently. threatening an attack on
washington, today dropped down the
river and resumed its cruising in Chesa-
peake Bay. For nearly a week the
enemy has been within so miles of this
city
The British did not go above Cedar
Point, on the Maryland side. Seven or
eigth shots were fired by them at a
house near Swans Point, Md, where
the Secretary of State and a party that
had gone down from Washington with
an escort of Cavalry, we're having
breakfast. No damage was done.
A landing party from the fleet was
repulsed by the American Militia the
night before. The principal accom-
river was to take soundings and mark
the channel, which seems to indicate
that the feet intends to return in the
near future. and possibly continue up
the river as far as Alexandria or WASH
ington City.
DR.. James II. Blake, recently elected
mayor of Washington, has been re-
quested, pending the formation of addi-
tional militia companies in the District
of Columbia, TO continue the night
watch. This watch is composed of an
organized body of citizens who have
volunteered for service at the mayors
request.
AS further means of defending the
Federal City a meeting of the men re-
naming here after the departure of the
first Militia companies was held at the
Capitol and steps have been taken to
form into companies for the protection
of the city against the British, all men
above As years of age.
In the meantime the military force
from Washington is encamped in the
vicinity of Fort Washington and along
the road leading from Piscataway to
Port Tobacco.
There are about 1000 men in this
force. 1t includes all the regular SOL
oierS from this section and nearly all
of the established volunteer companies
of Washington and Georgetown. The
United States frigate Adams, which
happened to be at the Navy Yard here,
with several gunboatS, undergoing re-
pairs, has been ordered to Fort Wash
ington, and these craft are probably
there now.

Royal He-Men of History
Though Blind, King Johann Insisted Being Led Into
Handto-Hand Battle.
BY J. +. GLASS.

Johann, King of Bohemia, was old
and blind, but he could not endure the
thought of being out of any battles that
might be going on. And so, when King
Philippe VI of France set out to meet
the invading army of Edward III of
England, he went along, taking with
him his son, Charles of Luxembourg,
Markgraf of Morayia.
That Johann was in France was due
to combination of circumstances. His
father, Heinrich of Luxembourg had
been one of Germany's best emperors
but Ludwig of Bavaria, who succeeded
him, did not meet the approval of the
Pope. The latter would have set up
Johann against Ludwig had it not
been for his age and blindness
Johann was perfect knight-errant,
graceful, accomplished, pious and hon.
orable. King of Bohemia only by right
of his wife, Elizabeth, he found the
Bohemians uncouth and savage, So he
spent most of his time in France, where
he had his children educated. Charles,
Markgraf of Moravia, took his place as
candidate for the imperial throne.
The vastly larger army of Philippe VI
Joined issue with the better organized
force of Edward III at Crecy on August
heavy fall of rain.
1t was then shortly after o'clock
in the afternoon. Suddenly the clouds
broke and the setting sun threw its
dazzling light upon the scene. 1t warmed
the backs OF the English, but blinded
the French. Philippe's men, caught
under a terrific shower of arrows dis
charged by the sturdy English yoemen,
were thrown into disorder
Blind old Johann, hearing cries OF
distress, asked where his son Charles
was. Told that he was somewhere else,
probably fighting, the doughty monarch
made a characteristic request of the
knights accompanying him.
Gentlemen" he said, you are my
people, my friends and brethren at arms
this day. Therefore. as I am blind 1
beg you to Lead me so far into the en-
gagement that may strike one blow
with my sword"

A Sermon for Today
Gladness in Religion.
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.


1t is true that religion brings us
into the presence of very solemn truths
about ourselves and the world which
may well sober us.
1t is furthermore true the religion
calls for self-denial and restraint, and
brings to us sense of obligation.
But all this does not mean that there
Is no place in religion for mirth and
gladness. Religion is not meant to be
linked exclusively with serious and
solemn things.
Christ said-and we should remem-
Der 1t always-that His purpose for US
was that His Joy might remain in US,
and that our joy might be full
like to think of Christ as the great
1oy-brlnger. The Joy He brings Is the
result, not so much of any change He
makes in our circumstances, but OF a
change He makes in us. He changes
our hearts. frees us from evil and our
worst selves, and opens to us sources
Of gladness independent of externals.
Much of our religion is far too
gloomy. Some seem to think that 1t
is sign of devotion to be melancholy,
that It is an evidence of spiritual
W UC Sdu anu Va q AAAOA
fed countenance.
This is a mistaken notion. Religion
is not meant to be a long-faced affair.
1t Is not meant to forbid smiles and
flowers and bright colors. There Is
more religion in a cheerful smile than
in thousand groans. There Is more
piety in good hearty laugh than in
whole hemisphere of cloud and gloom.
To be religious, we need not deny
ourselves all merriment. There is
abundant room for gladneSs in religion.

THE LADY WITH A NosEGAY.

Needlework pictures, worked in cross
stitch, are having vogue, They may
be worked in black and white silhouette
or in color. The former is favorite.
A charming picture of lady in quaint
crinoline costume holding an old-fash-
toned nosegay is featured today. 1t has
been designed expressly for readers of
The Star. No further directions for
making the picture are needed than to
count the spaces and work the pattern
accordingly in black and white.
The picture will be large or small,
according to the size of the canvas on
which it is worked. If there are six
holes to the inch, the picture includ-
ure Is inches square. This gives
gauge for Observation-Disclosures is, If a
smaller picture is wanted, a canvas
with 8 or 10 holes to the inch should
be used If larger picture is wanted
q canvas with less holes to the inch
should be employed.
Should the worker wish to have the
picture in colors, the following sugges-
tions are offered:
The main part of the frock may be
in lavender. The panel in the skirt and
vest of the bodice may be in canary
yellow, and the main part of the rib
bon crossing the skirt also in yellow.
The band on the hat and the single
black line through the center of the
crosswise ribbon band should be in a
deeper shade of the same yellow. The
buttons if in black. will accent the coll
ors interestingly. The hands. face and
neck should be in a flesh tone, The
arms are in sleeves, which would be
the lavender of the frock. The white
lines coming diagonally from the waist
should be in a deeper tone Of the law
ender
The nosegay should have the squares
In various colors, since such bouquets
were composed of mixed flowers. The
dark portions should be in green to rep
resent foliage. The stem should be
green also The entire background
should be in neutral color, such as
gray-blue, cedar (the latest name for
faint tan color or ecru), or it may be
In delicate green, such as light sage
green. The frame in black would set
of the picture to best advantage. If
the needlework is framed in wood, this
band border may be omitted and a
rather narrow ebony frame take its
place.
This color plan is merely suggested
with particular reference to the distri-
button of various colors. When a pic
ture is for some especial room, the tones
OF the room should be the guide. If

Hairy-Shaving is preferable to using
dep1latory as 1t is at least a clean
method of clearing off the hair, and it
will not cause the irritation that most
depilatories do. The trouble with both
these methods is the encouragement
given to fine hair to coarsen and show
badly If not gone over every day with

never give trouble If left alone, and in
that case, the tweezers used for coarse
hairs would keep the skin free.

Some General Hints.

Today I want to give some general
advice, based on some of the letters
have had recently. First in regard to
L. G.'s question about pimply skin.
Quite often this trouble goes on for
years because the skin reinfects itself
long after the original cause of the
trouble has been cured. So while the
diet must be watched and the food be
very simple, very easily digeStible, and
while something should be taken as an
intestinal antiseptic, besides all this,
the skin should be treated locally with
germ-killing lotions or creams.
Your doctor can give you something.
You can, also, rub the skin at night
with zinc ointment cream or with a
sulphur ointment cream, both very
good for the skin and both most dis
couraging to germs! Or you can get q
calamine lotion in a drug store, which
Is even more effective if one or two
per cent of carbolic is added to it. Bad
pimples should be gently squeezed and
the contents of each removed with cot
ton wool-each spot being made anti
septic at once. For the germs from one
open sore place will literally hop
across the skin and begin to breed in
some other hair follicle-with another
pimple as a result.
Blackheads should be squeezed, the
face being first washed with hot water.
A regular comedon instrument should
be bought; they are only 10 cents.
These press the skin so as to remove
the blackhead without breaking the
skin. Again, each spot should be
touched with antiseptic to heal it and
to prevent the germs from forming
again on another part of the face.
The best antiseptic Is soap and hot
water. But for these local infections
cream or a solution should be used
as well, and your doctor can give you
one. Zinc ointment, one-half; ordinary
cleansing cream, one-half, makes an
ideal night cream for this trouble.
Worried-An exercise for the bust Is
done as follows: Place your hands
around the waistline with fingers for
ward. Press hands into waist and
bring elbows forward as far as 1t is pos
sible. Repeat the exercise many times,
and even try to tip elbows backward
for few inches. as that will bring other
muscles into the movements. This will

possess it. This writer has discovered
also that the business of looking beauti-
full is one that the modern woman is
taking more seriously than her mother
or grandmother did, and he considers
that fact most gratifying
Surely every woman will agree that
1t is her business to look as lovely as
she can. And when a woman makes 1t
her business to be beautiful it Is sur
priSing how many claims to loneliness
she may discover in herself. A muddy
complexion can usually be cleared if one
will really make it a business to improve
its condition. Any figure can be i'm
proved by correct posture and good car
riage. Any feature which is impefect
can usually be somewhat Subdued and
others which are more perfect accentu-
ated.
Real beauty and good health are so
closely related that it is practically i'm
possible to have the former without the
latter. If milady will learn the follow
ing 10 beauty and health rules and fol-
low them conscientiously I feel quite
safe in predicting that she will at least
be attractive and earning, IT not really
beautiful:
First. Maintain correct posture when
sitting standing or walking.
Second. Take exercises for 10 to Is
minutes every morning. Muscles are
bound to stay youthful and supple with
this consideration.
Third. Get at least an hours exercise
out of doors every day. In addition to
the benefits derived from the exercise
itself, there is nothing better than fresh
air and sunshine for keeping the skin
clear and the eyes bright.
Fourth. Have sufficient sleep in a
well ventilated room. Eight hours is
enough for the average person, but
those who are weak or underweight
should plan for an extra hour at night
and when possible nap after luncheon.
Fifth. Eat simple, nourishing foods,
including a pint of milk daily and
plenty of vegetables, both raw and

the picture is for a gift, the favorite
colors of the person to whom it is to be

colors.
In working the picture in silhouette,
black and white are customary, but any
two sharply contrasting colors can be
used. For example, the black in the
picture can be in brown and the back
ground be in a creamy white, thus en-
ploying the tones common to etching.
Any two shades of one color may be
