LAWBREAKERS

There are so many laws on deck it's
rather hard on Hiram Heck, who can't
obey them all. He would respect their
every curve, he's deeply anxious to OBJ
serve the statutes great and small For
every year new laws are made and ali
of them can't be obeyed except by SUI
permen, and supermen are hard to find;
the man of common garden mind falls
down again, again. The laws conflict
and overlap; they're so involved no
mortal chap can rightly see the trail.
The thing that's legal off in Maine in
Kansas is unsafe, insane, and puts
man in Jail. Great jurists try to make
laws clear; they are eXpounding by the
year; and when their work is done
some other jurists come along and show
the first ones wildly wrong, their logic
lily spun. The busy legislator feels he
isn't earning room and meals unless he
frames some laws. Unless he puts new
laws across he feels he Is total loss, a
traitor to the cause. It's rather hard
on Hiram Heck, who's anxious not to
make a wreck of any law on file. He'd
have a record without flaw, he wouldn't
bust the smallest law; in him there is
no guile. But every time he walks
downtown he'll likely knock a statute
down, an ordinance absurd; and cops
may come and run him in for hitting
some illegal sin of which he'd never
heard. The Ten Commandments give
the law from which pilgrim soul may
draw rule and guidance f1nd. The or
binary run of men can quickly learn
Commandments Ten and bear them all
in mind. But who can learn a million
laws, decisions, writs and legal saws
and all the court DEGREES when jurists
divers viewpoints hold, and one law
knocks another cold, and justice seems
wheeze? WALT MASON.

Everyday Psychology

A Strange Bed"


Most people experience some difficulty
in going to sleep the first night out
after an extended stay at home. And
they experience this difficulty in spite
Of an unusual amount of bodily fatigue.
All of which means that fatigue Is by
no means the one and only sleep-in-
ducer.
Sleep in early childhood is an instinct.
In adults it is instinct worked over
into various sleep habits. Each in
dividual comes to acquire his own
sleep patterns, so that one may be said
to possess a sleep personality. The
fatigue which Is usually regarded as
the cause of sleep is merely the con-
dition which favorS the setting-on of
series of habits. Disturb or block
any one of these links in the chain of
habits and you will find yourself in a
strange bed"
At home you begin to 60 to sleep
long before you go to bed. You perform
a sort of sleep preamble. You have
routine of habits to satisfy.
1t may be that your routine includes
few small chores such as putting the
milk bottles on the front step, putting
the cat out, and then locking the door.
Then you proceed to wind the clock. to
see that the gas-jets are all turned of,
to empty the pan under the ice box,
and to put the garbage can on the back
porch. All this done, you go to your
beo. Finally you get yourself set in one
particular posture and go to sleep
When you are away from home, your
habits are all upset. And you lie down
in strange bed

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

March IS, 1854 curious phenom-
enon, noticed In many parts Of the
District of Columbia and between here
and Bladensburg, Is attracting the at
tention Of WaShingtonians and residents
nearby. It was hrst noticed two days
ago, when persons living In the vicinity
of Bladensburg discovered that the
fields near that town presented sim
gular appearance, cleaning In the set
ting sun like seas Of silver in restless,
perpetual movement.
It was soon observed that the phe-
nomenon extended everywhere-an OBJ
jectS, including trees, fences and even
the plowed ground being completely
woven over with exceedingly delicate
spider webs. Then the same thing was
noticed nearer this city and later
Today there is not Q fence rail, post

the fine webs.

is asking.
The earth has often been visited by

some are asking

It is hoped that the entomologiSts
will examine the spider that is reSpon-
sible for these webs and tell, first,
whether he will bite and, second,
whether he will grow any larger AS
far as observed, the spider Is . minute

down its back, violently opposed to be-
ing caught, but well behaved in alcohol.
It is reported that Prof. s. of this
city has examined the spiders and says
that the phenomenon is common around
BuenoS Aires under the name of gossa-
mer. The spider, lying on its back,
kicks out clouds Of this goSsamer, which
floats through the air, covering every
thing, even the hats Of travellers, with

Some one has described cynic as

And have come to the conclusion that
most of the women l know who have
become a bit cynical about their house
wifely duties are so because they began
in a too optimistic mood and have
simply been "let down" when they have
discovered that drudgery and routine
really are necessary part of their job.

it seems to me. about the simplicity and

Warm-Day Cereal

The problem of taking care of and
preparing breakfast cereal is always a
more difficult one in warm weather
than in Winter But it is foolish to
give up the cereal habit in warm wealth
er because you find it trif1e more diff
ficult to take care of the cereal.
Remember that there are certain
cereals, notably corn meal, that do not
keep well in Summer, and fortunately
these are the heavier cereals that APP
peal less to the Warm-Weather appetite.
There is always an advantage in haF-
ing several cereals going" at the same
time. You are far less apt to tire of
any one sort if you do not have 1t every
day in the week This means having
to keep package of cereal on hand
sometimes a couple of weeks.
A good plan in Summer is to empty
the package Of cereal, when once it has
been opened, into a glass jar with a
tight cover, so as to preclude the pos
sibility Of insects or mold. Make sure
that the jar is perfectly dry before put
ting the cereal in.
The ready-cooked cereals appeal in
warm weather to many persons who
find the hot-cooked cereals not to their
taste when cold weather has passed
These keep we'll, but are apt to become
soggy when once opened, especially IN
humid weather. A good plan is to keep
such cereals on shelf somewhere near
your kitchen Somewhere the air is
dry.
The problem of cooking cereals for
breakfast is often a troublesome one
Most cereals ought not to be cooked
hastily. They are improved if cooked
longer than the time stated on the
covers. Moreover 1t is especially i'm
portant TO cook children'S cereals sew
eral hours. This must then usually be
done the day before, although there
are some persons who find the freshly
cooked cereals much more palatable
than the cereal cooked the day before
and reheated.

Troubled With Blackheads.


Dear Miss Leeds: % OF late have
been troubled with numerous black
heads, and it seems all my pores are
becoming mere holes. Please advise me
what to do, for regardless of how often
squeeze out the blackheads they clog
up Immediately. ca Is acne rosacea
durable? will sign as am.
FRANTIC.
Answer-(D Enlarged pores are lazy,
relaxed pores, and as this is such q
common blemlsh to beauty know
that many readers win be interested in
the solution to the problem. To remedy
the condition, you must be sure to
cleanse your face thoroughly; then you
must stimulate the skin, SO that it will
be reused to activity. A sluggish skin
Is pretty sure to have enlarged pores
and blackheadS. Finally, the texture
must be refined through use of aStrin-
gents, lotions and creams.
When cleansing the skin, use first a
cleansing cream to remove dust and
makeup. Cream it well, wipe of with
Q soft cloth or tissue square and then
cream second time. Remove cream
and then steam face lightly with a
small Turkish towel Wrllng out of hot
water. Repeat hot applications several
times, as the heat will stimulate the
pores much as they would be stimulated
by Turkish bath or by vigorous exer-
else. Now wash with soap and warm
water, as the pores are open. and this
will remove deposits of face powder,
CRIME and oily SecFetions. Rinse very
thoroughly in cleaf, warm water and
finally In cold water After drying the
face well apply the following astringent
lotion: Rosewater, one ounce; cologne
water, one ounce; Sulphate of zinc, 20
grains. Apply with absorbent cot
ton and allow to dry on the face.
This is a mild astringent. which may
be used every day. Applied after cleans
ing the face and before applying make
up. this lotion will help much toward
refining n coarse skin.

that boudoirs would be graced by their
use. In others colors are striklngly
combined according to modernists' con-
ception of clashing harmonieS. 1t is
easy to see that quilts of such descrip-
ton lend their special note OF deco
ration to bed rooms. These quilts are
likely to be folded across the foot OF a
bed In such a manner that their orna-
mental features are accented rather
than be used as entire spreads.
There are other new quilts that are
not SO bizarre, but which, showing mod
ernistic tendencies, still have a leaning
toward more classic elements of de-
sign. Floral sprays are centered In
squares throughout the quilt. A plain
shade that accents a desired color
scheme in quilt and room forms a Dor
der.
