Curling Lotion.

Dear Miss Leeds-I have been a daily
reader Of your column and would like
you to answer my beauty questions
and give me some advice on the follow
ing: % The hair on my legs curls up
Just under the skin and makes my
skin on the legs look rough and gives
1t the appearance Of having little PIN
Piles. Can you tell me what to do 10
make the skin SMOOTH 90 Can you
advise some recipe for making a curl
ing lotion, or wave-setting solution, at
home? BROWNIE
Answer-Scrub the skin on the legs
at bedtime with warm water and q
mild soap. Add a pinch of powdered
borax to the water Scrub them rather
vigorously and then battle them for
several minutes in warm boric-acid
solution which il made by disSolving
one heaping tablespoonful Of borie acid
in one quart Of boiling water, Allow
1t to cool. After bathing rinse in cooler
water and dry. Use cream depilatory
at regular intervals to remove the un-
wanted hair. The ingrowing hairs may
be tweezed out one at q time after the
bortc acid bath or removed permanently
by electrolysis. Dry well. Now mas
sage them with rubbing or massage
alcohol Three times a week apply the
following salve to soften the pimples
or gooseflesh: Twenty grains powdered
benzoin, 80 grains fesorcin, one dram
alcohol, four ounces of sunflower oil
or oil Of sesame. (2) The following
recipe makes an excellent wave-Setting

ounce seed or haxseed, one ounce
cologne water, oil Of cloves IL drops,
oil of lavender IL drops. Soak the seed
in one pint of hot water for several
hours, strain off the seeds and add to
the resulting mucilage the cologne
water, with which the perfumes have
been previously mixed. II the solution
seems too thick it may be thinned to
the desired consistency with rosewater
or witch-hazel Wave-setting lotion
and curling fluids are obtainable ready
prepared from the cosmetic counters If
you do not care to make your own.

suggest bleach for my face and neck,
arms and hands. MRS. r. w.

My Neighbor Says:

The best oven temperature for
baking ham is between $50 de-
grees and 275 degrees Fahrenheit.
This gives a most delicious ham
which slices well. If q glazed ap-
pearance is desired use a leftover
sweetened fruit juice for baSting
the ham. This also adds to the
flavor.
Soak widowed linen in butter
milk; after an hour, sprinkle with
salt and lay in the sun. Repeat
until the spot is removed.
The most important requisite
for an efficient ice box Is clean
illness Instead of wrapping veg
etables in paper or towels, they
should be kept in china or glass
containers, and strongly favored
foods. such as cheese, should be
carried on the top racks of the
ice box.
Don't pack jars too tight when
preserving fruits and vegetables.
Leave a space of one-half inch ct
the top Of each jar for water.

II haven't seen either Of them since

there, said. To those who lived be-

oring gray hair is made from walnut
shells or from their hulls. No special
formula Is needed, as there is nothing
to do but steep either the walnut shells
or hulls In boiling water until enough
coloring has been extracted. Pour the
stain off and add teaspoonful of salt
to each half pint of stain to set the
color. 1t Is much better to make a
small quantity at a time as it may turn
sour If kept for q long time. Shampoo
the hair, and before 1t is quite dry,
brush the stain along strands of the
hair, passing from roots to the ends of
the hair. Care must be taken to keep
from staining the skin, so 1t Is best to
wear rubber gloves while handling the
work.

burned TO death / man and injured
Is others, was brought under control
early today after damaging a wharf
two warehouses and steamship. Leon
ard Smith, warehouse supervisor, esti-
mated the loss at 100000.
The charred body of Joseph Ryan,

found aboard the steamship Scantia of
the Dixie Mediterranean Steamship Co,
which drifted into midstream after the
flames had severed its mooringS.
The injured, all of whom were men,

Mrs. Elizabeth Battam, 81, the only
person seriously burned, was taken from
the craft by Seaman Charles Lunn, who
gaehered her in his arms, jumped over
board and swan to safety.
Approximately 10000 bales of cotton
were destroyed and 100000 damaged.
Half of the damage was accounted
for in the loss of the cotton, which was
to be shipped this week to Italy aboard
the Scantia. The latter. a 7,825-ton
ship, valued at 100000, was estimated
damaged to the extent of $4,000.

EDGE IS SUMMONED
TO NAVAL FARLEY
Ambassador to Be Asked for
Report on French Po-
IitiCal Situation.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE,


By Radio to The Star
LONDON, England, March 3.-Col.
Henri L. Stimson, leader of the Ameri-
can delegation to the London Naval
Conference, has summoned Ambassador
Edge from Paris for consultation with
the delegation on conference matters
affecting France. The American Am
bassador to France is expected here to-
morrow. His arrival will precede by
severai days Andre Tardieus return to
the conference at the head of the new
French cabinet.
Col. Stimson and his colleagues de-
sire the benefit of 1irst-hand knowl-
edge of the Paris political situation as
viewed by the United States Ambassador.
The tortuous and laborious conditions
unde- which the latest French ministry
was forged into existence are not clear
even TO the most expert students of
French politics in England They are
correspondingly more obscure to the
American delegation. Edge has been
sent for to turn on the lights.
M. Tardieu is certain to resume his
place at the Naval Conference table
IN an unyielding mood, especially at the
outset. Col. Stimson hopes to learn
from Ambassador Edge just how tena-
cious the French attitude can be expect
ed to be.
Occasion at the same time will be
taken to acquaint him with the real
feelings Of the American delegation to-
ward the mpaSse which the French will
create If they persist in the position
hitherto maintained. There Is little
secret as to what these feelings are.
They are combination of irnpatience
and disgust.
Americans are almost wholly lunsvm-
pathetic with the thesis that France
cannot reduce her total naval tonnage
TO, say, 100000 or half the respective
British and American totals. without
bulwarking herself with some kind of
additional @ecurity pact. With a feet
OF such SIZE alongside the League
covenant, LocaTno pact, Kellogg treaty
and Frances continental military al
liances plus her supreme army and
air force, Americans at London simply
cannot comprehend how Tardieu can
stubbornly continue TO stall the con-
ference engine.
Edge will discover-and he will pos
sibly be directed to let France know
that the United States looks upon such
tactics as gratifying the French lust
for prestige pure and simple, and not
as sprlnging from any genuine or
demonstrable defensive necessities.
There are two factors in connection

alleged Communist paper telling of
plans for demonstration next Thurs
day presumed to be financed by the
Soviet.

He asserted the number and influ-
ence of Communists in this country was
negligible" and protested as a great
injustice to the millions of men and
women who through no fault of their
own are out of work to drag across
their trail the dead herring of another
red scare" He added that Attorney
General Mitchell has announced in
formally that there was no information
of Communist outbreak Thursday.
Senator Wagner had demanded action
