MIDWEST LOSES
HOUSE SEATS

The Far West, the Rocky
Mountain, Southwest Desert and
Pacific Coast States, will gain
10 seats in the House under
congressional reapportionment to
follow the completion of the 1880
census tabulation.
This is revealed by Universal
Services analysis of official re-
turns of the Census Bureau thus
far announced for that area. :
Two Make Gain
Of the 10 additional seats. nine
will go to California and one to
the State Of Washington. The
other nine States, Oregon, Ne
vada, Arizona, New Mexico, Col
orado, Utah, Idaho, Montana
and Wyoming, will retain their
present representation.
This increase will raise the Far
West from it's present strength of
80 members to 43, bringing it up
to within a fraction of 10 per
cent of the House membership of
435. This region embraces ap-
proximately one.third of the area
of the United States.
There is the bare possibility,
that when the final tabulation is
completed for the country and it
is determined the exact population
basis for appointment of repre-
sentation, that Arizona and New
Mexico, now with one Representa-
tive each, may squeeze over the
line and gain a second.
From Midwest
The California and Washington
gains are definitely assured, &C
cortiing to Universal Services
tabulation Of official figures. The
phenomenal gain of California,
which win show a total popula-
ton in excess Of five and a half
millions, is attributable to a sub
Stantiaf increase generally through
out the State, but primarily to an
extraordinary gain in Los An
geleS county where approximately
1900, 900 persons are concen-
trated. That one county cot
tains almost 40 per cent of the
States total inhabitants.
The census figures indicate that
the gains of the Far West have
been at the expense most largely
of the grain and cattle States Of
the Middle West all of which, gen.
terally speaking. will lose in con-
gpeSsional representation.

Concini's assassination his body was

We have spoken about eggs IS Q
beauty treatment. Now here u another
beauty aid, cheap, convenient, always at
hand-lemons. There Is nothing finer
for stains, for bleaching and, In many
ways, for shampooing.
Let's take the shampoo first. A lot OF
us have to wash our hair In hard water,
and then the rinsing Of the hair Is q bad
job, and usually, in spite OF lots OF soap
and warm water. the hair comes out
dry and dusty. In this case, shampoo
with three applications Of liquid CASTLE
soap, made at home or ready-made for
you at any drug store. Rinse and rinse,
with a hose over the bath room faucets,
If you can manage 1t, or using your
shower bath, or even pouring the water
over your head by the cupful. Then
use the Juice of two small or one very
large lemon in a fresh basin Of water
let the hair rinse in this, and rinse again
with clear water, If you want. This usu-
ally leaves the hair soft and glossy, even
with hard water.
To keep blonde hair from going dark
or to bleach light hair that needs more
golden tints in 1t, wash and rinse, use
the juice Of two lemons in small bowl
of water, let the hair soak in this, and
then let the lemony rinse water dry in
Now for your hands. Buy an ounce
Of glycerin Of the best grade, add an
ounce Of strained lemon juice and an
ounce of roSewater, II you like this, OF
boiled water, II you want, or cologne
water. Shake well together and you
have an excellent hand bleach and skin
softener.
For your manicure. Just lemon Juice!
Keep It as 1t comes from the lemon
rind, in q tightly corked bottle, and use
as you use any cuticle bleach or soft
ener or stain remover. Or, whenever
you manicure, take a thick slice Of
lemon, or a half lemon that has haC
the juice partly squeezed out, and after
you have scrubbed your nails, soaked
skin, dig them into the lemon and lei
the juice cleanse and tighten the cuticle
L. T.-Whiteheads and blackheads
come from the same cause, the differ
ence being that the enlarged and clog
| ged pores have q covering Of thin skin
over the whiteheads so they do not col
lect soil as in the case of blackheads
Frequently sluggish digestion has i'm
posed extra work on the skin, enlargine
the pores, and there is more to be Sc
creted than the skin can care for. There
can be no quick method Of restoring
the skin after the pores have been dis
tended. Stimulate the skin into greater
activity by getting the blood circulating
under It, cleanse with warm water and
soap, and also creams and massage. I'm
proVement will be noticed from the start
but It will need months Of daily care
to really rid the skin Of either black
heads or whiteheads. The slow method
will be best, as the pores are contract

"The Lunatc" Said Wife of Great Concin After He Had
Been Murdered

Marie de Medici was as different from
Catherine de Medici as possible, for she
had no ideas Of her own. She was COM
pletely under the domination of Concini,
son OF Florentine lawyer, who followed
her from Italy when she went to France
to be the wife of Henry ~. Concini
married her maid, Eleonore Galigai,
and, after the death Of Henry, rose
to be minister Of the council and a
marshal Of France, although he never
had drawn sword.
Marie's son, Louis XIII, fell under the
influence Of his favorite, Charles
d'Albert, Duce de Luynes, who desired
to supplant Concini. In the lawleSs way
that characterized the age, Louis ordered
that Concini be murdered, and Witty,
captain of the guard, attended to it.
On Sunday, April %, 1917, Concini
came to the Louvre attended by a large
suite. AS he entered the courtyard.
Vitry touched him on the arm and said,
THE King has ordered me to arrest
you"
Concini realized he was trapped. "a
mel" he shouted in italian to his fol-
lowers. Eyes, to you," said Vitry, sig
Mailing his men. They wounded the
Italian and then finished him with
daggers.
Vitry spurned the corpse with his
foot. "Vive le roi," he cried out. One
Of Marie de Medici's women came to q
window.

Everyday Psychology
By DR.. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Mystery Stories.

The mystery story is as old as the
race. That's because life itself is q
mystery. The unknown or unexplained
is what keeps us feeling that we are
alive.
The men and women who write mys-
terry stories are merely giving form and
a semblance Of reality to the thou
sands of half-baked notions we harbor
in our unconscious minds.
Lately the reading public seems TO
be forsaking fictitious tales and tax
ing UP real detectives stories" What
does it mean?
We know our geography better than
we did only decade or two ago.
There's something real In story which
has its setting even at the other end
Of the continent. The automobile, the
newspaper and the radio have enlarged
our notion of the country. So real
stories" no matter where they origi-
nate, take on the flavor Of freshness
of neighborhood gossip.
Another thing. Our daily problems
big and little, impress us with their
uncertainty. We use our wits vastly
more than our grandparents did. In
sense we live the life of detective.
Tired out with our own personal daily
problems, we find relaxation in read
ing something of the daily grind OF
the man whose business it is to solve
knotty problems. We derive some
satisfaction from the fact that we are
after all, part of a greater society
always trying to solve some mystery.

were too expensive for use day in and
day out.
Her next solution was to find some
way whereby she could use many Of
the same vegetables for the baby and
the family. OF course, she seasoned
those for her family. Her husband
grew tired Of buttered beets, beets
picked with vinegar and horSeradish.
But he ate Harvard beets with a
relish. These we're pretty, too, and
Nancy felt elated to think she had
made one vegetable do for two sets Of
meals. She cooked the beets in boiling
water, peeled them by putting them
under running cold water and slipping
of the skins. Then she mashed some
of them for the baby. The others were
served with this sauce.
She mixed one-half cupful sugar
with one level tablespoonful corn
starch and added one-half cupful
vinegar. She cooked this for five
minutes and then poured 1t over the
freshly cooked, drained new beets.
Sometimes she cubed the beets. She
found this method was not acceptable
with old beets, but then she never used
this kind for the baby anyway.

lent to make an entire ensemble or to
buy q doll, then you can at least make
a new dress or wrap for favorite child
in some little girls doll family.
The sketch shows a dolls cape that
any doll would be proud to wear, and
the diagram shows how to cut it out.
Enlarge the pattern shown in the dia-
gram, using the following dimensions:
For the cape, ABB equals %, AC equals
2I2, AID equals Az, AE equals 2212,
EG equals 8. For the hood, ALB equals
10, DC equals 5, EB equals 2. BF equals
/. This win be the right size for a doll
about 10 or 10 inches in length. Cut
the cape with CD on lengthwise fold
of material and the hood with AE on
a lengtiwise or croSswise fold.
Take dart at either side Of the
cape between G and D to At the dolls
shoulders and join hood along EFF to
cape along CD. Hem or face the edges
of the cape along DGB and the hood
along outside curve between A and F.
Gather the hood about a quarter OF an
inch from outside edge between A and
F. and draw up so it will fit the dolls
head loosely. If you like, you may line
the hood and cape with silk. Attach
narrow ribbon, tie strings at D on right
and left side of cape.

A Sermon for Today
Rurdened and Weary.
By REV. JOHN n. GUM.


"Come unto Me, all We that labor and
are heavy laden and will give you
rest."-Matt. ii.28.
In this invitation Christ makes no
promise to remove our burdens. To do
that would be the worst thing He could
do for us. After they had rest, they
did evil" We would all pretty soon be
doing evil II we were freed from all
responsibility and care.
We often complain Of the heavy loads
we have to carry; but think we would
never complain If we realized how es-
sential our burdens are to our happi-
would be lost and life would soon lose
its interest for us. Not only so, but we
would lose our ballast and soon find
ourselves tossed about by every wave
that rolls, like an unladen ship out on
rolling sea.
Come unto Me, We that are heavy
laden and weary and 1 will give you
rest'-rest while yet laboring under
your load. Christ gives us rest, not by
taking away our burdens, but bv teach
ing us how to adjust ourselves to them
and how to bear them patiently and
joyfully, instead Of fretting and Tuning
over them, as so many of us do.
The right adjustment will often make
the heaviest load seem light. A bright
and cheerful spirit adds strength to the
arm and makes our burden-bearing a
delight and JOY. By His example, and
| by walking with us as a companion and
teacher, Christ shows us how to dc
our work and bear our burdens in q
quiet and restful manner.
But this is not all. There are loads
that are too much for human strength
at its best. And when our load becomes
too much, Christ gives us rest by CIV
ing us additional strength.
If you are worn and weary and seek
rest, here Is rest for you-Christ ready
to help you with your load and to give
| you additional strength when you
need it.

ago had a serious case of appendicitis
and was operated on. Now, although
eat very little, my abdomen is large and
would like to reduce 1t by exercise.
Should I do the leg-raising and back
bending exercises? JUANITA JEAN.
Answer.-You should have definite
advice from your surgeon about the
exercises you wish to do. would not
like to take the responsibility Of advis-
ing you. I would caution you, however,
about back-bending, as it can do harm
If done in the wrong way. When TAX

Thin Hair; Dry Skin.
Dear Miss Leeds: ID My hair is very
thin at the part. What can do to
make it grow in thicker? CD What
can I do for a skin that is dry and
always peeling? MRS. M. r.
Answer-()-First, dress your hair
with the part in some other place. Rub
a small amount of castor oil or olive
oil into your scalp every night and mas
sage for at least 10 minutes. Wash your
hair once a week. (2) Sometimes ex-
cessive dryness of the skin is due to
wrong diet or to a poor condition OF
general health. Be sure that your
weight is right for your age and height
Use cleansing cream or oil to cleanse
your skin at bedtime. Several times q
week follow the cleansing with wash
with warm water and pure CASTLE soap.
If the skin feels dry after having been
washed, thoroughly rinSed and dried,
pat on little nourishing cream.
