To Clean Skin Permanently.

Dear Miss Leeds: Can you please tell
me what will positively clean up the
skin permanently? My skin is always
broken out in pimples and I believe

clear it up, but with no results. 1t GER
tainly is discouraging to see the beauti-
full skin most girls have and then look
into a mirror to see nothing but a
blotchy reflection. will greatly appre-
ciate any advice you can give me and
will most certainly try anything. H. B.
Answer agree with you, there Is
nothing more discouraging than having
a pimply skin. wish could give you
remedy which would positively clean
up the skin permanently" but that Is a
pretty big order. In the first4place, the
skin must be thoroughly cleansed and
treated with mild antiseptic wash
every night. Wiring out a clean cloth
in hot water and hold 1t against the
skin to open the pores. Next lather
thickly with tincture of green soap;
leave on for about five minutes and
then rinse off with clear, warm water

solution, then prick the ripe ones with
sterilized needle and gently press out
the pus without bruising the skin:

this, mix two tablespoonfuls OF boric
acid with enough boiling water to make
a thin paste Blend in about one table
spoonful of cold cream. Steam the face
lightly with hot towels first and then
spread the pack on evenly. Leave 1t on
for an hour or more.
Remember, too, that diet and exercise
are both very important aids in over
coming pimples.
After cleansing the face at night and
also before applying any makeup an
astringent lotion should be applied.

If you have had this trouble for several
months and it has not improved under
home treatments, you should consult
skin specialist about it. In time you
will probably outgrow this tendency. but

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
By HERBERT PLUMNTER

Of person one associates with the coll
lege professor type. Deeply studious,
he has translated the Odyssey and the
Ilaid, the Antigone of Sophocles and
the Anabasis of Xenophon. For two
years he taught in the American school
at Athens, and during the war was food
administrator for California.
While he is modern in thought, yet
he sacrifices none of his fundamental
ism. He is convinced that the church
must keep pace with scientific thought,
still he is quick to assail any sensa-
tional statement that attempts to ridi-
cule the traditional doctrines Of
Christianity.
DR.. Murray has said that many peo-
pie are leaving the churches because: :
"They are determined not to be bound
by the traditions Of their fathers. They
are seeking to work out problems in
their own way"
But he will assure you that there is
no less interest in religion.
Indeed. the very religious contro-
versy of the present is an indication
that men have not lost interest in spir-
itual things.
THE militant fundamentalists have
done the church irreparable harm. They
have undoubtedly turned many away
from the church altogether and dis
gusted intelligent people.
Religion must not be at war with
science" he says. TT must follow truth
wherever 1t leads. Scientific progress
has not hurt the cause of religion. d.
There will be less emphasis on the
miraculous in religion as time goes on.
Christ himself did not place an
overemphasis on the miracles recorded
in the gospels"

Marriages.


The way they make these cities over
Is a caution. In New York, the city of
fallen arches and bent mud guards,
they say that the houses are never up
and the streets never down. There are
always changes which are made In the
name of progress.
But when you see the way they tear
things down and then build them UP
again, you see the sign, Business going
on during alterations" 1t may be hard
for the shopkeeper and customer to
transact business under the confusion,
but business Is business and must be
kept going, no matter what.
Our life today Is like that. The most
significant thing appears to be the
changes which are going on in the way
of woman's costume, couture and busi-
ness in general. It's the subject of
editorials, cartoons, sermons and the
like.
But the thing to emphasize is that
during ell these changes, which are
often of a superficial character only,
the life Of a woman goes on as usual.
Woman may seem to be tickle by ma
ture and especially restless at the pres
ent time. But she plays according to
form and does not forget her part.
In the matter of marriage, there may
be certain kinds of changes made to
the altar just as there may be new
fashions in bridal wells and wedding
rings, but the big idea Is the same now
as it was when Isaac and Rebecca went
out under a shower of rice.
There are cranks of both sexes who
will tell you that woman's new life in
the world has put the crimp in mar
rage, when, as a matter of fact, 1t has
done no more than move the date of
the wedding little further along.
They are beginning to put stop to
child marriages in India and we are
hating the boy and girl weddings. But
We are getting married just the same.
The calendar may be different, but the
human heart is just the same.

Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Years ago, IL to be exact, we wrote
our first article entitled Your Baby and
Mine" and that first article had to do
with Little Night Owls" We were OBJ
sessed In those days with the plight OF
small babies who lost their rest at night
because mothers and fathers insisted on
taking them to places of amusement.
With our own three tucked into their
beds at 6 or $50 and never peep out
of them, we watched with discomfort
when babies were carried into movies or
brought to the homes of friends and
bounced about all evening in an EFFORT
to keep them from crying. Once when
we had to take q train at IL o'clock
with the flock, we burned with shame
at being seen out with such young
children at night. We wanted to tell
the world that we knew better but
couldn't help ourselves.
We don't feel very differently today.
Neither, it appears. do some OF our
readers We wanted to tell the world
that we knew better but couldn't help
ourselves.
The following letter inspired this out
burst of ancient history:
May find small space in your col
umn for a word?" Mrs. H. writes. L
attended a movie this evening, leaving
after the last performance. I saw
young couple coming out carrying
baby not over months old. have one
that age and noticed their similarity
of size. There it was parked up on its
fathers arm, fuzzy little head wabbling
all around, bright eyes wide open.
thought about how that little baby had
to be taken out in the raw, foggy night,
taken to its home, undreSSed and finally
settled for the night, and 1t was after
IL then.
"It is my opinion that an evenings
entertainment is dearly bought at the
price of the baby rest, and now espe-
cially when there is so much sickness
about. have three little folks. Some
times my mother stays with them, some
times my husband. Even If had no one
would prefer staying at home to TAX
ing babies and children out at night.
Surely if mothers must have enter
tainment, they can go to shows in the
day time. One nearly always sees line
of baby buggies and carts at the back
during a night show. I may sound ike
a crank, and perhaps by morning l
shall regret this and leave 1t unwritten.
But do feel so sorry for children out
at night"
I'm glad you didn't wait until morn
ing. I realize how badly mothers and
fathers need recreation, and they
should manage 1t without babies. II
babies are accustomed to being put to
bed at or, at the latest. at night, the
parents can go away and leave them
with some responsible person over Is
and have twice the pleasure and comfort
they would have II baby were along.
When a mother tells me that baby
won't go to sleep until midnight, and
refuses to close an eye until his parents
are in bed, she needn't tell me anything
more. In most cases that baby has had
his early-to-bed and early-to-sleep hab-
its ruined. It isn't possible to enforce
good sleeping habits one night and break
them the next The baby Is going to de-
mand to be entertained every night.

Pictures require q special kind Of
care to keep them in good condition.
Just what this care should be de-
ponds upon the medium in which the
picture Is developed, as, for example,
oil paintings, water colors, etchings,
prints, etc.
Oil paintings can stand the strongest
light of those mentioned, without detri-
ment. Water colors will fade in strong
light. So also will pictures developed
in ink, although there are tndelible ink
processes. However, it is in the nature
Of ink to fade, and this quality should
be respected. Pencil sketches will not
fade. Plumbago or lead Is a permanent
black. But it blurs very readily BIT
cause 1t must be soft enough to leave
an impression by friction, not by q
fluid.
This same blurring quality pertains
to charcoal sketches and to pastels
which are made with finely pointed
sticks of charred wood, or with colored
crayons. The lines and marks made
with them are by friction. 1t is true
that spraying with fixative decidedly
reduces the blurring qualities of such
pictures, but this cannot actually elm
mate the inherent tendency to smudge.
Therefore pencil, charcoal pictures
and pastels should be tightly fitted into
frames and have glass over them.

the letter carefully and, calling in his

charged interest at the rate of per
cent per month. and citing the laws
of usury. No bank. he said, could exact
such excessive interest.

that they possessed cash resources OF

Detective Stories.

do not know just how many differ
ent magazines there are on the stands
today that feature detective stories, fic-
titious and true. All know Is the like
was never known before.
And why?
One publisher frankly states that the
public is interested in his wares be-
cause people know more nowadays than
formerly about the psychology and de-
lection Of crime. In other words, the
public today is sort Of passive, tr-
responsible detective bureau. and, OF
course, 1t is merely reading the htera-
ture pertaining to a self-chosen, imagi-
nary vocation.
This explanation seems to me to be
far-fetched. People are reading de-
tective stories today for the same
reason that they sweat over crossword
puzzles, and for the same reason they
run to fires, and for the same reason
that they will congregate on the streets
when an accident has happened. An
alyze the psychology of these three
interesting types of behavior, put your
reasons together, and you will have the
psychology of detective stories.
To take up the first reason. You
solve crossword puzzles and read de-
tective stories, because you desire to
know how bright you are. When you
have finished your story, you sit back
and talk about how stupid the criminal
in the story was. You gloat over your
superiority in being able to detect his
inferiority.
The second reason goes under the
name Sadism, Of which there Is streak
of some dimensions in everyone. We
all. at times at least, get a kick out of
seeing something destroyed.
The third reason is that we are all
more or less interested in personal
struggles and misfortunes. AS often
as not our sympathy is with the other
wise stupid criminal, who is caught and
put on trial for his life or freedom.
The literature on detective stories Is
voluminous today for the simple reason
that certain people have found out that
it is in demand. It always has been
and always will be.

glass except in rare instances. If
painting is one Of the old masters ana
needs careful preservation it is under
glass. If an oil paintirc is subject to
injurious atmospheric conditions, sucn
as sooty air, permeating fogs, etc.,
and it is an exceptionally valuable pic
ture, it is very frequently put under
glass. Glass adds another glinting ele-
ment to the gloss of the oils them
selves, and the difficulties; in hanging
such pictures to avoid refractions are
serious.
Handsome oil paintings should not
be cleaned by an amateur. 1t Is the
task for an expert. Be careful to hang
fine oil paintings where changes of
temperature are not pronounced. An
inner wall space is preferable to All
outer one, and place not near a
radiator.
Pictures under glass, such as water
colors. prints, etc, should have stout,
although not necessarily heavy, paper
glued across the back of the frame to
exclude dust.
