Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

January II, 1S56-Washington is al
ready q beautiful city and will some
day be the most beautiful capital in the
world, in the opinion of the editor of
the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. An
issue Of this paper, containing a fine
editorial appreciation Of this city, was
received here today and attracted much
attention.
After alluding to the fact that this
country is without a great national
city-a city representing the Nation as
Paris represents France, or London
England-and that the prejudices of
the people are happily against all claims
city, 1t proceeds to say that in the abb
sence of any great and dominating
metropolis, whose commerce or manu-
features or wealth can give it the power
TO represent the whole Nation, we can
turn with some pleasure to Washington
as city in which the people take an in
terest and In whose establishment and
Improvement every State can take
certain degree of delight and pride.
The plan Of Washington has been
ridiculed for its vastness. and 1t may
have seemed ridiculous to have few
thousand people scattered over space
that would lodge million and call 1t
city. But, as has been often pointed
out, the designers Of Washington cal
CulhLeu lot IuCuTlCy. ALREADY IL ID De-
ginning to show that 1t will be large
enough for its plan.
Within the past is years its popula-
ton has more than doubled and many
of the present generation will doubt
less live to see 1t a compact and ele-
CANT city Of several hundred thousand
inhabitants. The plan, besides being
vast Is perhaps the finest ever con-
ceived for q great metropolis. Paris, in
spite OF its boulevards, its Rue de Rivoli
and its Champs Elysees, can never be
made as superb a city as Washington
must become in the course Of centuries,
declares the Bulletin.
The universally wide, straight streets
and the grand avenues radiating from
the Capitol and the Presidents House,
give It an advantage in variety and in
circulation that no European capital
possesses, and, adds the Bulletin-"of
which even we in rectangular but beau
tiful Philadelphia must forever be de-
prived."
There is no grander urban prospect in
the world, the editorial continues, than
that presented to the spectator from the
Capitol, even at the present time. The
city lies at his feet and Pennsylvania
avenue stretches out before him, even
its looking houses acquiring sort
of beauty as being component parts OF
a vista. Vistas are always beautiful
and this one, terminating with the
Presidents House and the Treasury in
the distance, viii at some future day
be one Of the most beautiful In the
world

such areas.
So he has set out to have this done.
In q resolution offered the other day,
he asks that the Secretary of Com
merce be authorized to analyze the re-
sources of an area where an individual
or association is interested in opening
a small factory.
He would have the Secretary Of Ag-
riculture do the same thing for those
washing to start a factory on q farm,
in a farm community or village.
Sheppard makes it plain that he does
not mean to underrate or decry guam
tity production. On the contrary, he
believes that quantity production Is es-
sential in many respects to a progress
sive civilization.
But" he points out, Capitalization
of industry inevitably means central
ibation of government Our fun
damental problem is to reopen the
channels of opportunity in such way
that tenants and employees might again
become owners.
Both quantity and small-scale pro-
duction must be studied and devel-
oped If individuals are to realize their
best possibilities and If our country IN
to register the highest type OF prog
reSS."
Sheppard believes that it may be
practicable to combine the two ideas
in certain instances by marketing the
output of many small factories through

it is just possible that the white hairs

the next time and omit the sulphur.
Dorothy L. HI do not wonder you
are confused by the number Of creams
offered when you have never thought
Of them before this time. You can get
along with only one cream for every
purpose If it Is made Of the finest quail
ity almond or olive oil. This viii be
healing and nourishing and it will keep
your skin smooth also. A cleansing
cream should be cheaper as it is not
made from fine oils, so you see you may
reduce the number offered to two or
even to just one.
Miss r. G.-General good care Of the
skin will contract the pores that have
become enlarged on your face, but It
will take time to make any lasting i'm
preston on them. Keep the skin active
and stimulated by daily scrubs all over
followed by cold showers, or cold show
ers alone If YOU react well to them,
and close the pores of the face after
every cleansing by daShing very cold
water over the skin. Dab little witch
hazel over the places where pores are
conspicuous every few days unless your
skin is inclined to be very dry, and in
that case make the applications twice
q week and on days when you also use
q good cream.

Miss L. Mater you have used
very warm water on your hands, run
cold water over them for few minutes,
which will prevent your hands from
looking so red after you have bathed
them. The warm bath brings the
blood into them and the chill sends
the blood away from the skin.
Mrs. H. C. R.-If you merely applied
henna to your hair with the lather
when shampooing, it would not alter
its shade to any extent not to a red
dish tint at ALL but just a slight glow
toward the red. You could not wash
1t off If you did not care for 1t, as it
would have to wear of.

ishing Oil cream for about 10 minutes

RlotchY Skin

A much worried reader writes: Gas
you say. Miss Leeds, the Winter social
season Is here and we are all par
ticularly anxious to look our best. But
happen to be one of those unfor-
tunate women who really looks her
worst when she should be at her best.
No matter how carefully I groom my
self for party, my face is almost sure
to break out in ugly red spots before
the affair Is over. This is particularly
true If dance, but also troubles me
at other times. Do you think this is
caused by cold weather? And is there
anything in the world I can do to
remedy it, because it certainly makes
me unhappy and very self-conscious?"
This Is only one of the many letters
complaining of the same annoying con-
dition. Yes, the cold weather has
something to do with it, as the skin is
posed to the cold. However, that is
only an indirect cause, and those with
compilations of this type are never sure
of being free from red spots and
blotches at any time of the year. In
the first place, any one with this
affliction must pay more than usual
attention to diet. It would be wise to
eat no desserts or rich foods of any
kind; instead of the usual dessert take
some raw fruit, such as an apple,
orange or grapefruit. Drink a great
deal Of water between meals-icur to
six glasses, If possible, and occasionally
add the juice of lemon to the water;
do not Sweeten this, however. For
those who wish to drink with their
meals also would advise milk rather
than tea or coffee. Be sure that the
meals contain plentiful supply of such
vegetables as green's, cabbage, tomatoes
and carrots. Eat at least two of these
raw every day.
Poor circulation as we'll as unwlse
diet is often an underlying cause of a
blotchy complexion. Daily exercise
will improve the circulation, and cold

Choosing Colors.

q bluey gray or the brownish stone
gray, dark blue, dark enough to be
serviceable but not so dark as to be
dull, brown, any shade Of beige. I am
not putting black in the list, since
black Is contrast to practically every
color. Besides, you should keep black
for dinner gowns and afternoon dresses,
and otherwise reserve it for the last
years coats and dresses that you are
dyeing for another season. Your new
clothes should be purchased in brighter
colors.
For your contrasting colors, you have
an unlimited choice. If you should
choose jade green and rose pink, for
instance, you could wear both together

merely suggest you stick TO your chosen
colors for at least one whole season,
keeping your hats, your handbags,
scarfs and all your dresses and coats
TO these shades. Your coat should be
the shade of your dress, or darker
contrast. AS black coat is essential
with a black dress, it means you must
have at least two coats. Buy your new
one in color and dye your last years
one black, and II will look like new.
The blessed part Of this color arrange

always look well dressed, and having
once purchased your outfit you can for

Although children may tire out older

had real inspiration from going from

Those who have children in their

young to have an entirely fresh point

of the vision they posses is very often
