war against the British. This became
known today when announcement was
made that, at public meeting in Alex
andria, $4,000 was raised for the pur-
pose OF equipping such company for
The enlistment of the company is
going right ahead, and it Is expected
that, by the first of next month, a COM
pany OF so men will be accepted by
President Madison to defend Washing
ton City and vicinity in case the British
attempt to harm 1t, or to serve else
where, as may be determined later.
Now, the City of Washington is re-
mote from the seat of war. The fight
ing, or preparation for fighting, has
been along the Canadian border. There
are many optimistic persons who believe
that this part of the land will never see
anything of the war.
However, others keep in mind that
the Chesapeake Bay and the rivers that
lead westward out of that bay come
very close to Washington. The Poto-
mac River Is navigable all the way to
this city, and the Patuxent River is
navigable to within short marching dis
lance.
The less optimistic militarists point
out that the British, after bringing
troops-Say, trained veterans from the
European campaign against Napoleon
across the Atlantic Ocean could easily
land them within two days marching
distance of the Federal City on the Pa
tuxent, or could bring them all the way
up the Potomac River, either to Alex.
andria or Washington City.
There is talk of building forts on the
Potomac River, or placing shore bat
teries of a movable character at various
points where the river Is narrow or the
ship channel comes close to the shore.
It is estimated that the American Navy,
as a whole, is no match for the British
Navy.
Trained military authorities realize
that it has been so long since the War
Of the Revolution that few men who
know how TO stand up against veteran
troops are to be found in this coNntry,
and much must be done in the way Of
training before the volunteers now be-
ing raised can be effective against the
British.
There are others who do not think
the British win take the trouble to
attack the half-buflt city on the Po-
tomac, even though It Is the Capital
City OF the United States. On the other
hand, 1T u suggested that II the AHneri-
can troops, crossing the Canadian bor-
der In their enthusiasm, get out Of hand
and destroy other than war property,
the British government might very well
give orders for retaliation upon the
City of Washington.

BEAUTY CHATS


Your Back.
how well you look from the back, here
Is . list Of things for you to do at
once:
Buy yourself q long mirror~-r have
seen them, about 5 feet long and IL to
10 inches wide, in plain wood frames,
for almost no price at ell in junky furni-
ture ehops-eecond-h hand mirrors, Of
course. Have this screwed against your
bed room wall in some convenient
place. preferably where you see yourself
eidewtse or In the back rs you sit at
your dressing table. II you enamel the
mirror frame D. gay color to match
your curtains or carpet or the prettiest
color In your room, 1t will be nice TO
look at. and, as mirrors always do, 1t
will make the room seem larger and
brighter. And you can see yourself full
length in the back by standing before
Il and using your hand glass to reflect
the back view.
Simple advice-but the number Of
women who write me who don't know
this Is extraordinary They will 60 out
and spend dollars and dollars on food
for q bridge party or for q bargain
sale hat they do not need, but they
will not spend 1t on @ mirror that would
last them forever and be invaluable.
However, assume you now have one,
nicely installed somewhere in your bed
room. You must do other things---you
must 60 to a particularly good hair
dresser and have him trim your hair
so 1t looks extra we'll from the back /;
If possible with q point at the nape
Of the neck. And q permanent but
very loose wave, If that style happens
TO suit you.
Buy yourself q handled bath
brush. Every time you battle, use the
brush down the back Of your neck and
down your shoulders. 1t Is almost i'm
possible to scrub your back properly,
and II YOU don't, large pores with black
heads are bound TO result--which is
not pretty for low-cut dresses
Take care Of your elbows, too; they
show from the back.
Mrs. J. L.-You probably use too
much oil on your scalp when treating 1t
before the shampoo. Crude oil is very
heavy and requires severn gatherings to
completely dislodse it. La hsr thorough
ly and rinse all of this away, then
begin all over again with the second
attempt, just as If you were starting to
shampoo. The best professional sham
poos are always given that way, even
though there has not been any previous
treating with oils. Use very little of
the oil and rub it all into the scalp,
working along and between parted
strands of hair. The hair never needs
these treatments, they are only for the
scalp.
d. H. Ut would not be advisable
to reduce a double chin with camphor
lotion, as fiabbiness might follow.

wasted in q single evening the proceeds
of several concerts and had to borrow
money on his violin to pay his debts.
His wasteful ways led, however, to his
gaining possession of one Of the finest
Guarnerius violins in the world.
At Leghorn, having gambled away all
his money, he was compelled to borrow
an instrument for the evenings per-
Torrance. M. Livron, French mer-
chant, who was an amateur player,
allowed him to take his, the aforesaid
treasure. After the performance,
Paganini was returning It when M.
Livron, who had come to hear him, ex-
claimed: "Henceforth that instrument
is yours. Never will profane the
strings which your fingers have touched"
Here was an instrument which the
artist in Paganini would not permit
to pass into the possession of pawn
brokers. Gradually he reformed his
dissolute ways.
From being wasteful, he went to the

OUR CHILDREN
Teachers Responsibility.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Parents can furnish a nne school
building and equip 1t well. They can
send their children to school regularly
in the hope that they will grow in grace
and intelligence. They can do little
more than that because once the child
crosses the threshold of the class room
he.is in the hands of the teacher. The
responsibility for the child'S welfare
becomes the teachers responsibility.
That means that whatever the child
does while in the class room is related
to the teachers influence. If he is a
disorderly. lazy, inattentive pupil the
teacher should feel deeply concerned.
fully, no point slurred over, so that the
cause Of the difficulty may be disclosed
and whatever possible done for the
child's good.
That kind of responsibility carries the
teacher far af1eld. The home back
ground may stimulate q child to his
best effort or it may kill all that is es-
sential for his growth. The child's
health may be bad. His attitude toward
school set wrong. 1t may be that he is
graded too low or too high. It may even
be that he Is one Of those tragic little
figures doomed to ineficiency in book
work all his life. Whatever the cause
the teacher must find it. If the search
is beyond her powers she must call on
mark o card and mail home report is
to- do precisely nothing as far as the
child's growth is affected.
Adolescent boys and girls are very
trying. But life is pressing very hard
ON them and they are bewildered and
confused and helpless. They defend
themselves by mistaken methods They
strike back with a sharp-edged tongue.
They are given to moods and tempers
and abrupt change. They fail often
and are as thorns in the flesh. The un-
inspired teacher opens the door and says:
"Out. School is no place for such as
you"
Then where is the placer 1t is writ
ten that a child shall attend school
until he is Of q well advanced age. No
body dare employ him without school
certification. The street corners are
his only resource and it takes q hide
bound spirit to send child there.
When q child fails for an apparent
reason to reach class room standards, 1t
Is the duty of the teachers to lay bare
the cause and apply the remedy. And
by teachers mean everybody whose
1ifework is within the schools; class
room teachers, specialists, principals,
superintendents, social service staff,
medical and nursing staff, attendance
bureau and probation officers, the school
psychologist and the vocational guild
ance leader-everybody allied with the
school has a teachers responsibility to
the failing child.
When one fails, when the school
turns him out and after long months
the courts claim their penalties, the
burden of responsibility must rest on
the school unless it has left no possible
way untried. School Is to sustain and
strengthen and help, not to discard
children.

Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

In giving all kinds of advice the Diff
Guilty is to make it definite enough to
help mothers with any troublesome stu
alton. In behavior difdculties this is
far more complicated than in saying
what and how much of specific foods
the child needs daily. Each home and
each child differ. The only child has
an entirely different environment from
the child who is member Of lar~e
family. These are vastly different sit
uations, and the result is different be-
havior. How can any one tell mother
exactly how to act In every situation
which may possibly arise in such q
variety of environments?
Mrs. v. T. is struggling with the
sometimes annoying behavior of the
small child learning how to live in his
own household. Il read so much about
the desirability Of not Shaping small
children" she says. but what on earth
am to do when Sally Ann goes up to
the living room table and with one
nischievous eye on me pulls at the
cover until it comes of with everything
on It? She tries this on the dining
tablecloth when 1t is set for dinner, too.

Try to think Of the situation from
Sally AIMS angle. A table cover hang
ing above one is a natural temptation
TO pull. She can't see the objects above
her, but II they fly OF and you scream,
It is such exciting sport we can't won.
der that she wants 1t to happen az. n.
Until she Is old enough to see what Is
on the table, remove all objects that
would suffer by falling on the floor.
AS for the dining room table, teach her
how to put the dishes on it and yourl
md she won't have the slightest desire
TO pull the covers OF. Put q small
chair by the table and teach her how
to put the silver on. You'll be amazed
at how readily she'll learn this. and
TO wherever you keep the silver and
put it back after it is washed.
Mothers are so intent upon teaching
q child n to handl things that their
whole day Is taken up with trying to
prevent undesirable things happening
Instead devote that same amount oil
energy to teaching the child how tc
handle things, and you end all thil
misconduct
The child's actions are sometimes lin'

NOTED TICHTWADS
After Early Gambling Days. Paganini Became Avid
Seeker for Fortune.
BY J. p. GLASS.

Probably no violinist created such q
sensation as Nicolo Paganini. This was
due as much to his unique, unearthly
personality as to his skill.
Indeed, there were definite limitations
to this latter. He fell short when per-
forming the compositions of others,
seldom producing the effects expected
to PLAYING only his own compositions
which were fitted to his peculiar style
Pursuing this course, he created what
one contemporary writer declared as "a
positive and universal frenzy"
