hour when Evelyn Parsons motor

Before she could ring the bell Ce-

Mrs. Mitchell emerged from be-

Celia Mitchell, II, faces a new
life when she leaves the home in
Baltimore where she has lived with
her seamtsress mother, Margaret
Rogers, TO join her father John
Mitchell, and her grandmother In
a stately New York dwelling.
The girl had not wen known her
father was living until the day he
came TO the Baltimore apartment.
Celia had supposed Bob Rogers, her
mothers second husband, TO be her
father. Mitchell offers Celia a life
Of wealth. and Immediately every
thing changes. She leaves her
mother, unaware that Margaret
Rogers Is seriously Ill, and she
leaves Barney Shields. young news
paper photographer, who swears
that some day he and Celia will be
married.
The girl is lonely and Ill at ease
in New York. Her aristocratic
grandmother criticizes her and one
evening Mitchell finds her in tears.
He calls on Mrs. Evelyn Parsons. a
beautiful widow whose husband had
been Mitchell's close friend. Mrs.
Parsons agrees eagerly to introduce
Celia TO the right set Of young peo-
pie, but her interest Is clearly in
Mitchell himself and not In the
girl.

afternoon following Mitchell's visit
at Evelyn Parsons apartment. The
two women were alone IN the vast
room and the youthful looking widow
had just stated the object of her
call.
Mrs. Mitchell frowned. cleared
her throat. Before she could speak.
Evelyn hurried IN.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 21.-Criti

physicians to diagnose, an III
month-old baby was reported

The baby was brought to tEl9

PAY CLIPS
ARMY BILLS

Concerning the payment OF
bills and the financial affairs of
the War Department, Maj. Gen.
Roderick L. Carmichael, chief Of
finance, in his annual report to-
day, said the number Of unpaid
bills on hand which we're more
than 80 days old at the close
Of the fiscal year totaled only
100, 100 less than at the close
Of the previous year.
The officer detailed as ply
sician to the President, accord
ing to the report, was granted
the rank, pay and allowance of
a colonel. The physician with
President Hoover is Capt. Joel
T. Boone, Of the Navy, there be-
ing no Army physician assigned
to that duty now.
The War Department saved last
year $374,268.43 through cash
discounts, and in the last 10
years more than $4,000, 900. Gen
eral Carmichael says the assur-
ance of the immediate payment
leads many merchants to reduce
their prices in submitting bids,
effecting savings that cannot oe
estimated but far exceeding saw

Judge Says, But Sentence
May Serve to Warn Others

ROCKVILLE. Nd, Nov. 21.--
Mervin Riley's plea that the series
OF robberieS in which he took
part during July and August were
the result Of his lack of money
and q job, did not strike Judge
Robert Peter, as being justifia-
BILE reason for him to become a
criminal s!nd Riley was sentenced
to serve three years In the Mary
land House of Correction.
Riley pleaded guilty to five
charges of larceny. Among the
articles which he admitted taking
were two shotguns, cartons OF
cigarettes, tools, an oil stove and
a phonograph.
r. Barnard Welsh, the mans
attorney, told the court Of the
mans good behaviour ever since
being placed on probation sew

Welsh pleaded that Riley had a
wife and child and with the rent
due, he was unable to resist
temptation.
In fixing the sentence Judge
Peter said that he did not think
that a term in the House Of Cor

but that it may serve as a warn.

On all of the charges except

green fruits which finally become ivory
or white when ripened.
One of the best protective measures
where you must work or play in proX-
unity to poison ivy is a smearing OF the
exposed skin with common yellow soap
lather. OF course, this will lot last
long. If the exposure Is prolonged,
smearing the skin with ordinary gear
grease or axle grease is more satisfac-
tory. Then in either case the exposed
skin should be repeatedly bathed with
many rinsings Of soapy water in order
to remove any of the ivy toxin that may
be on the skin.
The poisonous principle of Rhus toxi-
codendron is very similar to the only
toxins we know as such-the poisons
produced by the growth and multiple
cation Of certain disease germs. Being
of such character, the ivy toxin Is ca
pable of producing IN susceptible in
dividual specific immunity, just as
lieve this is so.
We now have available concen-
trated poison Ivy extract which has
proved exceedingly effective, when ad-
ministered hypodermically as remedy
for ivy poisoning, in most cases one or
two doses bringing prompt recovery
and almost invariably putting an end
to the intolerable itching within a
hours. Any doctor anywhere can ad-
minister this treatment, which is pro-
vided by various reputable biological
laboratories.
For the first-aid treatment OF ivy
poisoning the best remedy is perhaps
tincture of iron chloride, diluted half
and half with water and applied as a
lotien to the affected or exposed skin
fo,ar or five times q day.

person increases in power according
to the amount of thinking he or she
does. Sometimes the thoughts are far
af1eld from those associated with the
persons occupation and business. They
may be profound philosophy seeping
into the mind through contacts with
nature. They may be invaluable in
their clear perception of matters that
need perspective and subconscious guild
ance. In the whirs of modern city life
quiet mental relaxation is extremely
difficult to get, yet without 1t the vision
is dimmed and dulled.
A persons inventiyeness and in
genuity are also developed when away
from sources OF supply Unexpected
needs crop up. Articles break or wear
out. New ones or substitutes are i'm
mediately required, Since shops can
not be visited without trip to town
which no one wants to take. the mind
grapples with the idea of filling the
need in some simple way possible with
the resources at hand. In such way

perceptions and whets the enthusiasts
to find out what to do and to create the
needed thing.
For example, broom handle, sawed
off so that it is 6 or inches longer
than a roller towel is wide, makes an
excellent roller towel holder. About
an inch and a half from each end cut
away the wood to make an indented
circle about the handle. Tie one end
of length of stout string or not too
heavy cord about each of these in
dentations and hang the cord on two
pegs or nails hammered nearly as far
apart as the distance between these
indentationS on the handle.
This arrangement is much better than
suspending the holder on one peg, for
the cord then slants upward so close
to the holder that it catches the towel
and prevents its being pulled or rolled
over the handle. Such a towel holder
pleases by its ingenuity and serves every
purpose. A stout round stick can be
used instead of the broom handle.
A few tightly rolled sheets OF news
paper tied about the center and loop
made of the ends of the string supplies
satisfactory substitute coat hanger.

BEAUTY CHATS

Perhaps I have used misleading title,
though see no reason why any woman
should object to the term of beauty
treatments for child. AS in the case
OF grown people, beauty treatments are
essentially health treatments. l want
to suggest today some things which II
used regularly for child will make that
child better looking man or woman.
The once-a-month rubbing OF the
scalp with olive oil, for instance, the
night before a shampoo will prevent
dandruf, keep the scalp in good shape.
and make the hair thicker and glossier.
Hair that is well treated in you Will
not so early develop troubles like pre-
mature badness or grayneSs, even II 1t
is neglected in later life
Even a small child can be taught to
keep its finger nails nice. A girl who
takes prides in her nails is much less
likely to bite them. Every boy can be
necessarily a sign of manliness or clever
ness The habit of cleaning the teeth
twice day, in the morning and last
thing at night, should be taught young.
Like all well grounded habits. it will
stick throughout life. to the great benz
fit of teeth and health. The habit of
going to dentist twice a year is up to
the parents, but every one knows by
this time that it is more important to
take care of children's teeth than fully
developed teeth.
Another beauty habit--if you want to
use the word "beauty"--is the daily
bath, which should be at bedtime for
children. The clear skin of childhood
need never be lost, if the skin is prop
erly cared for. And another habit is
teaching child to eat properly, avoid
ing hard-to-digest foods. We like best
in after life the foods we had as chill
dren, so why make favorites of rich
candies and cakes and such things?
E. I.-Since yoV have very thick hair,
you should keep 1t CLOSED by brushing
it each time you arrange it, and it will
be trained in this way to lie in place.
Brushing fiattens the hair, but when
there is plenty of it this may be an adj
