SPRINCTIME
BY d. @. PEATTIE.

There is always, in every place, some
week in Spring when some miracle
occurs perennially that is just little
too lovely to seem credible I suppose
that cherry blossom time in old Nippon
is such a season, and a poet has made
lilac time immortal at Kew in Eng
land. There are the magnolia gar
dens at Charleston (notable, however,
not for their magnolias so much as
their azaleaS), and people journey to
the Shenandoah to see the apple blow.
For the neighborhood of Washington
I think that I would choose the week
when redbuds flower. True, Spring is
not q thing matured, in fullest LEAKAGE,
yet, and the dogwood, starring the May
woods in Rock Creek Park, is more
spectacularly lovely. But the little red
bud tree, which puts forth its BIOS
SONS on bare boughS, before the leaves
begin, is the freshest and the faireSt
sight on all the old red hills of Mary
land and Northern Virginia. With a
stranger color than peach blow, there
Is something about the courage and the
Spendthrift beauty of this little f1ow-
ering tree that braves the still un-
certain airs of Spring, that moves me
deeply. It is one in my mind with
the first Song-sparrow'S notes, with the
first clouds of frogs eggs, like black
pearls, on the awakening ponds.
Though some folks call the redbud
Judas Tree" that is an old-world
name, with a dark and bitter old
world legend clinging to the fragile
innocence Of the flowers like majenta
butterflies df such EXIST.

Recovery After Disagreement
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

down." To continue this ring-f1ght
smile, a quick recovery from argu-
mentS and QuarrelS Is as desirable and
necessary for the wellbeing of the
family as it is imperative for those who
are in physical combat
In order for this recovery to be
speedy the persons engaging in it must
deal fairly and squarely with them
selves, as there is no umpire and no
referee. The participants have to settle
matters for themselves. This can
scarcely be done in the heat of the
mental harangue. 1t has to come after
the cooling down" unless both persons
are so fortunate as to grasp during the
disagreement the fact that trivialities
are involved, not vital issues.
Seldom do family quarrels hinge on
vital matters. They come from petty
Invitations that are magnif1ed during
the argument by DEPRESSING and by call
ing up previous disagreements that
really have nothing whatever to do With
the matter in hand. When once a
family quarrel is pitched, there seem to
be no more rules of guidance than in
actual warfare. Each fights to win
some point. Very likely, after the argu-
ment is over. each will chide himself or
herself for the angry and futile words
spoken.
OIlG sure way W gam uulCh IcCON-
cry is to realize that the disagreement
is of surface depth, no more. Seldom
do these family quarrels go deep. They
are irritating, not uprooting. They mar
ones happiness without blotting it out.
They cloud the period until reason and
affectionate thoughts gradually make
the sunshine of true home life chase
the clouds away. They are unsettling.
This is, perhaps, their worst element.
While the fight is on" the combatants
are swept off their feet, figuratively
losing their clear vision and their power
of logical reasoning.
Because it is possible to regain
firm footing of affectionate understand
ing. because the sight can be clarified
and because the ability to reason can
be restored, and because all these things
are essential to family peace and happi-
ness, a quick recovery should be sought.
Refuse to keep angry, and, once having
made such a resolution, put the whole
affair out of mind as past, over and
gone Meet the others half way. and
more, on the way to good humor. Learn
to be friendly adversary. There is no
better way than to acquire the power of
quick recovery.

Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

April IL, I865.-President Lincoln to-
day issued proclamation declaring the
Southern ports closed
Those acquainted with our foreign re-
lations regard this action by the Presi-
dent as assuring the revocation by
Great Britain of her recognition of the
belligerent rights of the Southern Con-
federacy.
1t appears from Lord John Russels
recent speech, and from other sources,
that the British government has sought
to vindicate its concession of belligerent
rights to the Southern Confederacy by
President Lincoln'S earlier proclamation
of blockade against the Southern ports.
asserting that the United States had
thus recognized the Confederacy as
belligerent and consequently Great
Britain was justified in doing so.
President Lincoln was Serenaded at
the White House tonight by monster
crowd that not only filled the grounds
in front of the Executive Mansion, but
van1a avenue from Fifteenth to Seven
teenth street. The White House was
brilliantly Illuminated, the lights re-
veal1ng in the mist the extent of the
vast throng in front of and thanking
the northern portico and rendering OBJ
Jects visible at remote distance.

patiently in the deep mud and under
the misty drizzle of rain until President
Lincoln appeared at the window above
the door. He was greeted with ire
mendouS cheers, as was Mrs. Lincoln
when she appeared with some friends
at another window nearby.
The President addressed the crowd,
reading from a prepared manuscript
He referred to the evacuation of Rich
mond and the surrender of Gen. Lees
Army two days ago as giving hope of
righteous and speedy peace, whose
joyous expression cannot be restrained"
Mr.. Lincoln said the problem of re-
construction is "fraught with great diff
ficulty." No good would come, he added,
from agitating the abstract question of
whether the seeded States we're ever
actually out Of the Union or were al
ways in it.
He said all agree that they are tout
of their proper practical relation to the
Union," and he declared that the sole
object of the Government is to get them
back into that proper practical rela-
ton" In this connection he discussed
at some length the new State govern
ment set up in Louisiana.
1T may be my duty" concluded Mr.
Lincoln, ito make some new announce
ment to the people of the South. I am
considering, and shall not fail to act
when satisfied that action will be
proper"

Rough Skin.

One Of the chief beauties of the well
groomed modern woman is a pair Of
smooth, white hands and nicely mani
cured nails, and most of these women
use their hands for more practical pur-
poses than bridge playing. Even
though they wash dishes, scrub floors
and attend to home comforts or work
outside OF the home, women have
learned that the beauty Of the hands
must be protected and special attention
must be given regularly to preserve the
texture OF the skin and keep the nails
well manicured and clean. Keeping
them smooth and white requires only
soap and water, nourishing creams, a
soothing hand lotion, a few simple
manicuring implements and a little
time devoted to them every day.
There is real beauty in well kept,
clean looking hands, no matter what
their shape. While the bony frame
work of the hands cannot be changed,
the flesh may be nodded by hand mas
sage and the skin bleached and sof-
tened by suitable creams and lotions.
The skin on the hands tends to become
darker as the years roll by; the skin
wrinkles as the flesh falls away and
the hands lose their plumpness. Some
hands begin to look old after Is years
OF age, others retain their beauty
throughout life.
While rough, red, chapped hands be-
tray unsuitable cleansing methods and
lack of general care of the skin, rough,
dry, cracked skin on the hands is usual
ly the result Of using too harsh a soap
or washing powder and imperfectly
drying the hands after having them in
water. The underlying cause of this
roughness and dryneSs in many cases
is an abnormally dry skin, that is, a
skin lacking in oil.
Very often people with fair COM
plexions are more troubled by dry,
harsh skin than brunetteS, because the
skin of the latter is usually of an oilier
nature. The direct cause of this dry
ness or chapping is temporary loss Of
elasticity of the skin tissue and of oil
from the skin due to the cold. Cold,
drying winds which cause rapid evapo-
ration of the natural oil of the skin
will make the skin of the hands look
red, rough and chapped. For this rea-
son it is very necessary to dry the
hands thoroughly after washing them

ing the hands with a soothing lotion
and wearing gloves. A great many
housewives suffer throughout the cold
weather from chapped, rough-looking
hands because they neglect to protect
them and give them little attention
every day.
The most important thing about
hand culture is the protection of the
harsh soaps and hard water, which
coarsen the skin and make it prema-
turely old. Rubber or cotton gloves
may always be kept at hand to protect
the hands while cleaning and putting
the house in order. Even though YOU
do not like to work with gloves on il is

well worth while to overcome this pref
udice in order to save and retain the
beauty of the hands. Those women
who have been unfortunate enough to
acquire a pair Of rough, chapped hands
will find relief by bathing them after
washing with soap and water with
equal parts of warm olive OIL oil of
sweet almonds and linseed oil. The oil
may be used daily to lubricate and
soften the skin. In addition, give q
thorough massage treatment and
bleaching pack once a week After
washing the hands during the day APP
ply equal parts of glycerin and rose
water and massage the hands until the
lotion is dry.
Those who must have their hands in
water a great deal during the day will
find that, after drying the hands,
plunging them into a small bowl Of
bran or cornmeal will be very helpful.

COUSIN WROTE BOOK OF EARLY DAYS IN ALASKA

Superintendent Anthony E. Karnes of Ketchikan, Democratic candidate for the position of Com missioner of Education for the Ter ritory of Alaska, has been deeply interested in Alaska since his boy hood days.
 In 1877 a cousin of MT. Karnes' father came to Alaska to prospect for gold. He prospected in many places, such as the Cassiar region, Stikine River, Prince of Wales Is- land, Admiralty Island, and on the Yukon and it's tributaries.
 After prospecting in the Terni- tory for 13 years, he returned to his home in Lawrence, Kan, and wrote a book of his experiences, the book being entitled Thirteen Years of Travel and Exploration in Alaska"
 This book came off the press in the early nineties, and a few years later became the favorite book of the children in the Karnes home. As a boy MT. Karnes read and re- read this book, and from that time until he finally arrived in Alaska, had a longing to live here.
 For several years before coming to Alaska, MT. Karnes made efforts to secure school work in the Terri tory. Finally the opportunity came, when in July, 1927 MT. Hen derson wired him of the vacancy in the superintendency at Ketchikan, Mr Karnes wired the Ketchikan board his application, and a few days later received news of his election. On arrival at Ketchikan Mr Karnes at last found his boy hood ambition to live in Alaska re- alized.

COMPANY WILL WORK TAILINGS AT OLD ALASKA TREADWELL MINE

The Hercules Consolidated Min ing, Smelling and Power Corpora tion has acquired on royalty ba- sis the rights to the mining of the old dumps of the Alaska Treadwell property at Douglas Tn discussing the importance of this property the general manager of the company states, according to The Alaska Weekly, that these sands have been actually measured and methodical- ly sampled.
 At present there is a small pilot mill on the property which was used to ascertain the recovery of gold per ton. Over $100,000 has been expended in making the tests.
 No mining would be required in working the area as the entire property can be worked by drag line scraper and cyanide mill. It would require 14 years to clean up the concentrates at the rate of D. 900 tons per day, but it is the in- tention to treat 10000 tons daily, at an estimated profit of $27,SO0 per day.
 The company report states that a plant can be installed and oper- ated within sixty days from start ing construction and can be oper- ated continuously thereafter.
 It is stated that there are over S,000,000 tons of gold-bearing con centrates with an average value of $3,53 per ton. or a total value of $2S,O00,000 in cold.
