Cleaning Enamel Paint

Enamel paint THAT is. paint
mixed with varnish. which gives
hard, smooth surface and does not
catch or hold dust so easily is
dulled by soap. Such paint may be
cleaned by rubbing first with
wooden or cotton flannel cloth
wrung out of hot water, and then
with clean dry cloth. Spots,
stains and dirt that will not yield
to hot water alone may be removed
with a fine seourer, but it must be
applied lightly in order not to
scratch the surface.

TOO MUCH RECKLESSNESS

HASTY tabulation of recent Government figures shows
n that automobiles killing about 10000 people
year in this country. That's Americans than British
muskets killed in eight years of the Revolution Assorted
accidents STAY almost 100000 annualy-more than the I'm
ion Army lost in all the battles of the Civil War; This costly
toll, Golfers Weekly observes is mainly due to national
tendency to confuse reckessness with courage What's
needed apparently universal crusade to enforce and
phasize caution.

Costs of Wealth

Opposed to the benefits of wealth
are Its costs. The purpose of wealth
Is to benefit Its owner; to cause to
happen what he desires. and to pre-
vent what he does not desire to
happen. Often, however. wealth
can work no benefit without entail
Ing some other cost. For instance,
to own a house is to bring cost of
maintenance.-Chicago Post.

Romantic" Music

De Bekker's "Music and Musi-
cians." says: Romantic: A term
like classic borrowed from litera-
ture and used as its antithesls. 1t
seems to have been adopted gener-
ally about the time of Won Webers
supremacy. Thus Beethoven and
Schubert are alleged to have been
Romanticists although they are I'M
deniably classic and Schumann con-
sidered himself the apostle of Ro-
manticlsm."

Location of Graves

1t is mistaken idea that graves
are placed so they are not directly
east and west. In modern ceme-
teries graves are located so that
they conform to the paths leading
through the cemetery, rather than
to a certain point of the compass.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

Abernethy's repeated question OF
why are they always picking at us?"
precipitated long discussion as to how
the District was faring at the hands OF
Congress. Holiday of Illinois, also a
member of the appropriations COM
mittee, made the bald statement:
"No city in the United States enjoys
the advantages from its city govern
ment that the citizens of the District
of Columbia enjoy at the hands Of the
government of the District Of Co.
lumbia."
Linthicum of Maryland was on his
feet in an instant.
I'm willing to set up my City OF
Baltimore against the District of Co.
lumbia at any time" he shouted.
It Is Linthicum's favorite role
singing the praises of his city on such
occasions Baltimore and Washington
are less than so miles apart, and the
MaIylander. whose district comprises a
large part of that city, is It's tireless
champion in the House.
We'll, said Abernethy, after he had
listened to explanations, Il want WASH
ington and the people of this great city
to get what's coming to them, but ]
think spirit of friendliness and CO.
operation with Congress should prevail.
With all this criticism, can't see
why a man would want TO stay on a
committee like appropriations, where
they are always being jumped on"
Perhaps" said Holiday, I'VE belong
to that class of citizens who enjoy
being jumped on"

Neglected Hands.

While age has been called matter
of the waist line or the chin line, there
is at least one thing more which makes
a woman appear old or young, and that
is her hands. Hands have a way of
aging very quickly. and very often one
will see a youthful face and supple
figure with hands which proclaim
loudly, I'VE are old and neglected"
That is just the trouble-neglected
For neglected hands soon become old
hands, whatever their years. The home
a matter Of hands, l might as we'll give
up, for youthful hands and household
tasks simply won't mix"
1t is this tradition which has led
many woman to neglect her hands,
but she may be glad to know that &C.
tivity really has little to do with beauty
Of the hand. The most active hands in
the world may also be the lovelieSt, but
they must not be neglected.
First to be considered is the washing
OF the hands Hands must be washed
so frequently that unless one exercises
a little care about the method used,
the skin of the hand is sure to become
dry and thus wrinkle prematurely
Hands should never be washed in hot
water, as this has very drying effect
Always use cold or just tepid water and
a pure soap, which should be mild. And
when it comes to keeping hands lovely
and white, the home woman really has
an advantage over her professional
sister, for there is nothing better in the
world for keeping hands in this condi-
ton than the versatile lemon. Cut a
lemon in two and keep half of 1t right
where It may be used after the hands
are washed. Rub 1t on before drying

Afternoon Refreshments
Should Be Nicely Varied

YOUR choice of afternoon refresh
ments should be determined first
of all by those who are to partake of
them. For instance, the professors wife,
who is planning little afternoon
spread for some of her husbands stu
dents who have met at his house, should
take into consideration the proverbial
hungrineSs of students. and the fact
that they usually spend considerable
time in outdoor exercise and that
dormitory fare is seldom overabundant
Her plans should be different from what
they would be were she serving refresh
ments to the ladies of the sewing circle
who had met at her house.
Unless you know the tastes of your
guests, it Is better always to have a
choice of beverages-that is, if you
are serving tea it is a good plan to
have a little hot chocolate ready, so
that any who do not take tea me- =
select the chocolate. In warm weather
you might have grape Juice for those
who do not like lemonade.
Sweet Sandwiches.
Various sweet sandwiches may be
devised as a pleasant alternative to
cake, and do not take so long in
preparation. If you can buy good
bakers bread, the task is simple Many
of these are put together with slices of
whole wheat or graham bread. One
good mixture is made by mixing to-
gether finely chopped walnut meats and
scraped maple sugar. This should be
spread not too thickly on buttered
slices of graham bread.
Orange marmalade sandwiches are
often liked, and If you have currant
Jelly, this makes an excellent combina-
ton with cream cheese.
Freshly baked, very small baking
powder biscuits, split and spread with
butter and honey. are very good. For
the benefit Of these who might not care
for honey, you might spread some with
strawberry or raspberry jam.
Serving Cookies
In some sections of the country there
is always a cooky jar, full. in the
pantry. With afternoon tea q few

April I6, IS61s--As the details re-
garding the capture OF Fort sumter
continue to reach this city the excite
nent here increases. Plans are going
forward rapidly to raise District OF
Columbia volunteer force in ACCORDANCE
with the call of President Lincoln for
$4,000 men.
newspapers today that hardly suf-
fcient number Of men to guard public
property here can be assembled ana
equipped with the means on hand. II
Is feared that, il the Confederates
should ATTEMPT an attack on this city
before Mr. Lincoln'S volunteer force Is
ready to meet them, the only defense
of the city will be the troops raised
and equipped locally.
Within the last few days there nave
been many establishments in the othcer
personnel of the local militia COM
panies. Many of the men who have
hitherto held prominent positions In
these organizations have strong SOUTH
ern svmpathies and, realizing that they
NAV be called upon to fight for the
Union, some of them have been re-
On the other hand. the ranks Of the
local volunteer companies are being
rapidly swelled by men who are eager
to help defend the Union.
The Darlington Home Guard OF
Georgetown-Capt Goddard and Lieuts.
Waugh, Hutchins and Burroughs-with
SIS men in the ranks, marched to the
War Department this morning and the
men were sworn in as soldiers OF the
Federal Government. The appearance
of these men promises well for the ef-
ficiency of the company when 1t gets
into active service, in the opinion OF
those who watched them swing along
Pennsylvania avenue.
The Darlington Home Guard was
inspected by Maj Mcdowell at the War
Department. The oath was then adj
ministered, not a man refusing to take
it and all repeating loudly and clearly
the language as it was dictated by the
magistrate.
It was rumored today that the call
for troops in the District has been
extended to Is companies.
The officers of the Presidents Mount
ed Guard today went to the War De-
partment and rendered the services of
that organization to the country when
ever wanted Many other local military
rendered their services
and several took the Federal oath.
Extra military guards were placed
around the Presidents house and the
War Department tonight. The men
forming these guards are part of Capt
Kelley's command, Company B, Union
Regiment, Of this city.

Fashions of Today
By MARIE sHALMAR.
Necklace indispensable.

A necklace of some sort is as in
dispensable to the smart ensemble as
ever. There has been some effort TO
revive long chains, but for dancing, as
well as for sports wear, the long chain
is out of place and most women prefer
necklaces of the non-dangling sort.
The most attractive sort of necklace
for most women is the short necklace
that rests at the base of the neck, with
out being literally a choker.
There is no excuse for not having
necklaces to go with the various cos
tunes in your wardrobe-oecauSen neck
laces of every conceivable color and
color combination are to be had at
prices that should not embarrass any
one.
Rather large, glazed beads of a deep,
rich blue, set between rondels of
matching blue and beige, are worn
effectively with the navy blue costume
with which beige stockings and gloves
are to be worn.
Bracelets very often are sold in sets
to match the necklace. For wear with
a quaint dress of Midvictorian Sugges-
ton you may select set containing
two bracelets to be worn prinly one on
each wrist. For daytime wear end the
more sophisticated sort of evening dress
a bracelet on one arm only Is more
appropriate.

RIGHT OR WRONG

BE sure you're right" Dave Crockett

many, as you push along will be con-
vtnced that you are wrong. Who can
be certain he Is right when he engages
in a fight, or ciamors for some great re-
form with fervent voice and courage
warm? When you are sure you're right
you say that men who think another way
who don't approve your clarion call, are
was young used to hold that all my
views were good as gold; was quite
sure that was right, which attitude
was not polite to men who differed
much from me on any scheme or policy.
/ was so sure that / was right on every
thing that was in sight, and with such
vim / went ahead, so confident my mien
and tread, that no one had much use
for me and wise men Stunned my COM
pany. For people do not like the wight
who is convinced he's always right
They have more friendship for the skate
who is inclined to hesitate, who will
admit, in any case, that doubtless he is
off his base. And now I gaze with
doubling eyes on all the problems that
arise; I do not take defiant stand on
any problem in the land. Whatever
side may applaud, know there are
great men abroad, wise lads who have
more good horse sense than can place
in evidence, whose views are opposite
to mine, who think I should take In my
sign. And so you find me loath to say
that it's a pleasant, balmy day, al
though the skies are blue and bright

weather makes them sore, and who am
to say they're wrong, and show such

cookies are an admirable accompani-
ment. If you have them on hand, so
much the better. If you have to make
them, then, of course, you can make
more than enough for one serving, for
a whole recipe Of cookies is q good
sized batch.
This is delicious tidbit to eat with
tea or coffee in the afternoon. Roll
some pie crust very thin, sprinkle It
with sugar and cinnamon and turn It
over itself three or four times. Now roll
out thin again and cut in strips 2 or 8
inches long and u inch wide. Bake
these until they begin to brown. It il
not much trouble to make them, espe-
cially if you use the "leavings" from q
pie, and they are really delicious and
unusual
Don't have your refreshments too
sweet. Especially in hot weather the
oversweet afternoon refreshments are
unattractive to many persons. If you
have sweet lemonade. plain cooky, not
too sweet, is good rather than rich
layer cake. Bits of sponge cake are
also good in hot weather, for sponge
cake is never rich or oversweet.
