the time of Henry VIII could be, and
bold as the rufflans of that time dared
to be, which was very daring indeed.

That Hard
Water
By HANNAH WING

To all those women who
struggle with the annoyances
of hard water our sympathy
goes out. Sometimes they don't
even know that it's the hard
ness in water that makes dish.
washing such an unpleasant
task and grayed clothes so dis
couraging.
Hardness in water varies from
small amounts which cause no
particular trouble, as in the
States along the Atlantic sea-
board. to such large amounts
that the water is unusable with
out softening, as in parts Of
Arizona and Iowa. 1t falls
roughly into four main divi-
sions: Soft water, slightly hard
water, hard water and ex-
tremely hard water.
In preparing hard water for
laundering or cleaning, soften
ing can be done more thoroughly
and more rapidly at high than
at low temperatures. An equal
amount of water softener will
do q better job in hot water
than in cold. For this reason,
1t Is best to use hot water when
ever possible, or to soften the
water while hot and let it cool
down to a suitable temperature.
Boiling alone removes con-
siderable amount of hardness.
1t is important to add soft
ener to the water before the
soap. This throws down the
hardening matter as a COM
pact, non-adhesive precipltate
that settles to the bottom and
leaves the soap free to do it's
work of cleaning.
Enough Softener should be
used to allow the soap to make
suds with little or no curdling.
One-quarter cup of washing
soda or an equivalent amount
OF other water softener to
tub of water is generally sat
isfactory, but more or less can
be added according to the con-
dition of the water. It is better
to use too much than too little.
There are plenty of good
water softeners on the market
and 1t will pay to use them
with soap.

Fats and oils are first-class
wrinkle fighters. When there
is the slightest appearance of
facial pleatings, the old cream
jug should get into a state of
activity. 1t is not only the
emollient that helps, but the
massage which tones and gives
elasticity to relaxed facial mus
cles and tissuey paddings that
have gone blooey. One form Of
connective tissues is adipose
which rounds out the contour
and acts as a Storehouse of
food; when wrinkles are pres

ton revive it.
Toe nails must not be cut
down at the sides: they should
instead be cut straight across.
Ingrowing nails are caused by

THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen FolIett-

When the complexion throws
dermatitis fit, becoming
bIotchy or developing a speckled-
trout surface, the cause Is more
likely to be q digestive disturb
ance than anything else. Cos
metics seldom kick UP a cutane-
Gus fuss, though 1t will happen
sometimes that the skin viii
suddenly balk against any kind
of oily application. If pustules
or blotcfles persist. 1t is wise to-
consult a medical man who spe-
cializes In skin diseases. Some
forms of eruption are trivial:
others lead to serious chronic
disturbances.
Spiked heels are the last relic
of sartorial iniquity. When the
feminine mind takes a tumble,
and decides that walking is
more healthful and comfortable
than sitting, the high heel will
go the way of the hoopskirt and
the hustle. Extremely high heels
are the direct cause of many
nervous troubles and ills that
are due to incorrect posture.
High heels throw the body out

SALUTE" IS FEATURE
 SHOWING, COLISEUM

Youth, romance, drama, thrills.
 Those four words describe "Sa- lute," the West Point-Annapolis all talking Fox Movietone pictur e which made its debut yesterday at the Coliseum.
 Salute" Is unusually fine screen entertainment. The story is diff ferent. compact, graphically unfold ed, with many a laugh to relieve tense moments, and has a smash ing finish.
 The tale concerns two brothers George O'Brien an athletic hero at West Point, and William Jan ney, a midshipn1an at Annapolis who tries hard but unsuccessfully to duplicate his famous brothers athletic triumphs. OBrien's domi- nant personality sweeps all before him, but when the handsome ath- lete seems about to take the heart and hand of Helen Chandler, Jan- ney realizes for the first time that he, too loves her.
 The brothers meet in the annual Army Navy football clash at the Polo Grounds, New York, OBrien as All American halfback and Jan ney as a substitute end. A surpris- ing and entirely satisfactory finish has been provided.
 O'Brien proves himself perfectly at home in the talking screen me- dium, while Miss Chandler. in her first leading film role, registers as a distinctly new and pleasing per sonaliay. Excellent performances are given also by Janney, Stepin Fetchit, Frank Albertsori, Joyce Compton and David Butler, the iao- ted director who appears as the Navy coach.
 The colorful and realistic Annap- oils and West Point backgrounds prove the wisdom of the two months location trip of Director John Ford and his entire company

KING OF JAZZ" IS
 AT PALACE TONIGHT

Just as Paul Wniteman himself stands supreme in the world of music, so his first starring picture, UniversaPs King of Jazz," which opened at the Palace Theatre yes terday, stands supreme in the world of entertainment.
 It is without doubt the most tuneful, the most prodigal, the most uniformly magnificent pro- duction which has ever reached the screen.
 ! This colossal revue is an all- Movietone and all-Technicolor med ! ley of inspiring spectacle, be- witching melody. matchless dancing clever specialties and hilar ous comedy. And in all of these it's excellence Is surpassing.
 If any particular feature of SC great an achievement as King of Jazz can be segregated for special praise, then those features must be the truly marvellous music repro duction,, the conception and direc- tion of the spectacle numbers, not ably the Melting Pot; the gor- geous dancing by the Russell Mar kert dancers throughout the pic
 ture and the featured numbers of
 John Boles and Jeanette Loff. Boles' splendid voice has already made him one of the most popular singing stars on the screen, but the combination of his beautiful bari |tone and Whiteman's music ir such songs as Tt Happened ir Monterey" and "The Song oi Dawn" is superb. These numbers both are sung in beautiful settings adding tremendously to the inspir- ing romance of both Boles' person ality and his voice. Besides these two. there are almost innumerable other song hits.
 Jeanette Loff is so beautiful ane
 so talented that even in King oi
 Jazz" her presence is outstanding fShe obviously is destined to be- come one of the reigning stars ol Ithe sound screen.
 There are in all, eight musica spectacle numbers, whose gran deur sweep everything before them

TWO FOURTH EVENTS HELD
 DOUGLAS ISL.
Hose Races, Patriotic Ex- ercises Pulled Off,
 Others Tomorrow

Only a part of the Douglas cele- bration as planned for the Fourth was held yesterday on account of the indictment weather. With flags unfurled and fire-crackers booming the day was ushered in with none too much promise for good weather.
 However, at 10 o'clock the fire boys were on the job for the hose races. Two teams, headed by John Marin and Sante Degan respective ly, made the run against time, from the natatorium to E street with the fire truck; hose connec- ltions were made at the corner of Third, and D streets. The former team had the water at E street in 14O seconds, winning the race. Man ming. Roller, Feero and Shudshift were the other members of Marin's team.
 At II o'clock the patriotic exer- cises were held concluding the program for the day as it was plan ned to hold the remainder of the out-of-door events Sunday after noon unless the weather cleared suddenly, which it didn't.
 Something to be remembered was the fine address made by Rev Philip E. Bauer, and the leading number of the program was held in the Coliseum theatre. Other numbers consisted of reading of Independence Bell,' by Bernice Edwards, song by the Douglas Camp Fire Girls, piano duet by the Misses Mamie and Elizabeth Feusi and songs by the audience.
