DRY LAW ARRESTS
SHOW DECREASE
Police Claim September Re-
port Indicates Wet Spots
Are Being 0bliterated.

A decided falling of in liquor cases
In washington in September was dis
closed today in statistics compiled by
the Police Department.
With the month about to end, police
records showed that 202 cases had been
reported for the 30 days, compared with
329 in August, 3l7 in July and 536 in
June.
The figures indicate, according to
police officials, that some of Washing
tons wet spots are slowly being dried
up, but they attribute the big reduc-
ton primarily to the change in the
method of enforcing the prohibition
law, which was brought about by the
consolidation of the liquor and vice
squads.
The reorganization of the vice and
liquor squads did not take effect until
September 15 but after two weeks of
operation under the new system Maj
Henry G. Pratt, superintendent, and
other police officials appear to be wen
satisfied with the results, despite the
fact that fewer cases have been re-
ported.

The troops remained on duty at the
jail here and the day was quiet after
night of great disorder.
Yesterday the soldiers dispersed a
crowd gathered about the jail by firing
q volley of shots into the air. AS dark
ness drew on, however, the mob gathered
in great numbers and became more dar-
ing In their attempts to break through
the line of troops.
The GuardSmen stretched ropes
around the prison and told those in the
crowd not to advance beyond them.
Their warning went unheeded, and as
the mob moved nearer the militiamen
threw tear gas bombs. These proved to
be boomerangs, however, for an III wind
blew the gas back into the faces of the
soldiers.

Ross was killed by burglar in hts

cause his description conceded some

going to the right. Alternate with
either hand. For double chins or a
too-fat chin which needs reducing, this
massage should be executed with a firm.
strong stroke. When done merely to
keep muscles from sagging the strokes
should be firm but lighter.
In all massage the skin should be
fabricated with tissue cream or muscle
oil before beginning the movements
After the massage of the chin wipe of

This is made by taking a strip of thin

Today in
Washington History
BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

July %, 179S.-Correcting an over
sight in the plans for the new Federal
City, as originally presented by LEnfant
and approved by former President
washington, John Adams, second Pres
1dent of the United States, today gave
his official approval to the public spaces
that had been determined upon by
L'Enfant and Gen. Washington for
parks and other public pleasure pur-
poses In the new city.
The right of the three City Commits
sioners to divert to public use any Of the
land held by them in behalf on the
United States within the city limits has
been the subject of q long and some
what animated controversy. At one
period the Commissioners renewed their
recommendation that the public spaces
be designated and a few months later
President Washington approved a list
OF IL OF such reservations.
But as the plan of the city on which
they were delineated was not attached
to the Presidents official proclamation,
1t was held that the Commissioners had
no legal right TO use this land for pub
lie purposes, even though the adjoining
property holders were, for the most
part, perfectly willing.
1t was to correct this apparent over
sight that President Adams acted to-
day.
The QMinion has prsvailed generally
up to tins time that great future Is
In store for the new Federal City. The
heavy speculation in real estate which
has resulted has caused some persons
to fear that the spectators are count
Ing on a too rapid growth Of the city
and therefore are doing harm to the
new enterprise. .
Numerous suggestions have been made
in the last few years for the use of
various sections Of the city originally
intended by L'Enfant for public parks.
One suggestion has been that the Mall
be Offered as sites for foreign Minis
tiers, without diverting the ground lying
between the Presidents House and the
Capitol for the purpose of being public
pleasure grounds" Some persons even
suggested that Maj. LEnfant, when he
drew the plans for the city, intended
that the Mall be put to this use.
The Commissioners are understood
even to have gone so far as to write q
letter to Minister Frigo of Spain, saying
that a. site for his use would be set
aside in the Mall.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. srRowLs.
Facing the Situation.

Everyday psychology is q question
OF everyday situations and how you
meet them. In other words, It's daily
account about bafiied careerists, doing
the best they can to carve out q career
Same have learned to their everlast-
ing advantage that 1t pays to keep cool
and let the situation take care of itself
This is q good recipe, for the simple
reason that most human situations are
complex. The complexities tend TO
check one another And things in the
end are not as bad as they seem in the
beginning. SO good deal depends on
the direction in which you look when
you face situation.
Then there are those who have some
how discovered the art of sublimation.
This Is just another way of saying that
1t pays to look at situations in terms
Of possibilities.
In every situation you win find Ut
least two satisfying alternatives.
You might feel like hitting some one
And the feeling might be so urgent
that you can't figure out how to keep
yourself free from running into the arms
OF the law. Now, all you need to do is
sublimate. II you can persuade your
self to listen to yourself. just say ia
yourself that the subject of your wrath
Is not worth 1t.
OF course, you know how 1t feels tc
have some one steal your right of way
in trafiic. You may resolve the situa.
ton and sublimate your feelings about
1t by consoling yourself that. no matter
who had the right Of way, you are moi
now on your way to the repair shop Of

Simple Beach Robes Are Essential
By MARY MARSHALL.

To begin with, you take a length OF
material two yards long-longer for q
tall woman, shorter for a Shorthand a
yard wide. The material should be
double the length of a line from the
shoulders TO the bottom of the skirt
Fold it crosswise in half. If you want
q longer robe, measure double the
length from shoulder to instep.
Now slash up the front from bottom
to top Of the fold. Then cut In i've
inches from the end of the slash on
each side-rnaking neck opening 10
inches long. That gives q sleeve length
of Is inches. If you will look at the
diagram while you are reading this de-
scription you will see just how to work
1t. Bind the edges with tape or a fold
of the material.
For negilige bind all the edge with
ribbon, folded double. This means you
will need almost nine yards of ribbon.
A yard for each side Of the front slash,
two yards for each side--that's six
yards; two yards for the bottom-thats
eight, and 20 inches for the neck OPEN
ing. That's yards, 20 inches. And
you will need little extra for NOR
ticed corners. Then you'll need enough
ought to answer for everything.
If the ribbon costs too much you can
bind the edges with a straight fold of
the material and use ribbon only for
the bows at the sides
The sides are tied together l8 inches
from the top or bottom, by a length
Of ribbon or tape sewed on there, back
and front If you want you can tack
the sides together instead of tieing
them. But the bow adds to the pretti-
ness for a negilige.

Your Baby and Mine


Habits are established by repetition
OF the same act. The simple habit Of
CRYING with a purpose is learned when
baby discovers that each time he raises
his voice in urgent plea, some one hur-
ries to his side and does something for
him.
AS he grows older the baby has a
growing appreciation OF how pleasant
this something" can be. He does get
tired of lying IN one position. He does
want new worlds to gaze upon, even
though these worlds are merely the bed
room. the dining room or the living
room. Babies cry, because this is their
only mode of expression, but If we con-
sistently attach some agreeable atten-
ton to the crying, it would be q pretty
stupid baby who didn't learn to raise
his voice with this end in view. That
is bad habit.
FOrestal Crying.
Authorities agree that while baby
should have every necessary attention
and should not learn the habit of cry
ing. It is wise to forestall his crying
by giving him attention before he yells
for it, or by waiting until he stops yell
ing before rushing to his side. In this
way he finds crying barren Of pleasur-
the attention when he Is, what his
mother terms, a good" baby.
Mrs. j. L. Med. has worked this
out successfully and SO well give her
the floor: IT wonder If mothers would
be interested in knowing how solved
the problem of playing with and giving
baby necessary attentions without
spelling him? To begin with tried
to make point of not picking him
up when he was crying. If it was time
to feed baby, or give him some atten-
would not upset his schedule to any
great extent but few moments doesn't
matter.
Sensible Handling.
at play with him when I have occa-
sion to carry him for legitimate rea-
sons, upstairs, at feeding time, or SINH
lar reasons. I play with him for
short time and when the play Is over
I divert his attention elsewhere so that
he doesn't object to being put down.
"These diversions are q fresh view,
a different room. his food, or his bath.
When one thinks of the many times
one has to carry baby about, one sees
that there are numerous occasions for
loving handling and play, but not too
much at any one time. He Is nine
months old and never cries TO be
picked up, in fact prefers not to be
handled for any length of time. He'd
rather play on the floor. Another ad-
vantage is that when he is sick or in
real trouble picking him up Is enough
of novelty to make him forget his
ailments"
This is good, consistent training. We
do have a leaflet on training to stool,
Mrs. j. L. Med, which you Cor any
other reader) may have for stamped,
self-addressed envelope enclosed with
your request.

A Sermon for Today
By REV. JOHN R. GUM.
Giants.


"Who Is this uncircumcised Philis-
tine that he should defy the armies Of
the living God?"-I Sam, xvii.26.
David had just arrievd at Saul's
camp, bringing food for his brothers in
the army. For the past 40 days Co
Hath, the giant, has been challenging
Saul to send a man to meet him in
single-handed combat, the result to de-
eide the issue between the opposing
armies. But as yet no man has been
found to accept the challenge. Hearing
this, David's blood turns to fire, and
he shouts, Who is this uncircumcised
Philistine that he should defy the
armies of the living God?"
Refusing Saul's armor, because he
knew not how to use it, this shepherd
lad took his little sling, with which he
was thoroughly skilled, went forth and
slew the mighty giant.
Eliab, Dayid's eldest brother, tried TO
diSSuade him from this bold venture.
Not having the courage to fight Goliath
himself, he sought in q most cowardly
manner to prevent David from doing
1t, charging him with conceit and tell
ing him he would do better to return to
his sheepfold.
And just so until this day, whenever
q brave man appears on any field of
battlefield. daring. defying all giants
there are Eliabs on every hand, ready
to accuse him Of conceit and egotism,
and ready. II possible, to drive him
back to obscurity rather than have
their own cowardliness and failures re-
vealed in the light Of contrast with his
courage and triumphs.
oh, you pigmies OF envy and jeal-
ousyl Since you have not the moral
courage to fight for right and justice.
why howl against the man who dares
to do so2
The worlds great need today Is more
men like Dayid-men not afraid Of
giants.
