Capital Boy
is Strongest

NY son, George, suffered with
IVA his bowels and from colds
until he was quite feverish and weak"
says Mrs. Helen Blume, 612 Twenty
first St., N. W., Washington.
Nov it's a different story as YOU
can see from his picture. He's strong
and full of life. gave him California
Fig Syrup because mother used il.
1t increased his appetite, helped him
wonderfully. Since then have used
California Fig Syrup for all Georges
upset spells"
To show how California Fig Syrup
acts to build-up and strengthen half
sick, headachy, constipated children
through giving tone and strength to
weak stomach and bowels, nothing
could be more convincing than
praise like this.
Your doctor viii approve the use Of
this pure vegetable product-as often
as an impure breath, coated tongue,
listlessness, feverishness or lack Of
appetite warn of constipation-or to
keep bowels from clogging during
colds or children's diseases.
When buying, look for the word
California on carton and bottle. That
marks the genuine.

Attractive New Breakfast Sets

bacon and scrambled the eggs-or what
ever you do customarily in preparing
the first meal of the day-you may
take your place at the breakfast table
with the satisfaction that you are
dressed to harmonic with the table.
You can make one of these sets from
unbleached muslin at very small ex-
pense. We suggest using coarse, in
expensive white or ecru linen with one
of the new printed linens for the Dor
der and ornaments, because linen is
generally more satisfactory for table
things and wears extremely well besides.
The tablecloth is trimmed with a
border OF. the printed material, which is
also used for the center ornament, and
each napkin has a narrower border and
a corner ornament of the same print.

Ny Neighbor Says:

A good way to use stale bread
Is to cut 1t into squares, triangles
or rounded shapes, fry 1t in fat,
butter or drippings, and serve
with bacon or other meats. Heat
the fat in the frying pan until it
smokes, then put in the bread
and fry to q golden brown color.
Drain on paper and serve very
hot.
Turn rugs In a room that is in
constant use every six months.
They will wear more evenly.
Wax preparations should be
used for oak. Oak dining tables,
when no cloth is used. need con-
siderable care. Overwaxed tables
collect dust, and this gets rubbed
in until the surface becomes dull.
Overwaxed tables should be
washed.
Tartar sauce is made by adding
two tablespoons Of chopped
chives, two tablespoons chopped
sweet pickles and two tablespoons
of chopped parsley to Il cup Of
stiff mayonnaise. This sauce Is
suggested to serve with baked,
broiled or fried fish.

becoming to small women than are
mixed colors in large patterns. Tiny
figures, shadowy designs and woven
f1ecks and stripes are better.
Dark shades are considered more
suitable as well as more serviceable for
the mature woman, and rightly so. Her
complexion and fading hair suffer in
contrast with bright green, red, blue
and rose, but dark colors must be COM
bined artistica1ly with lighter ones In
order to be truly fattering. and medium
shades must not be neglected.

Pointing out the value of youth
in the business field, Gov. Albert
C. Ritchie, of Maryland, in ad.
dressing more than $50 graduates
of the University of Maryland at
College Park today, declared the
most valued resources are not
water power or mineral, but the
people of today" He added:
"a nation is as great as it is
educated and earning capacity
is in direct ratio to training re-
ceived in school,"
President Raymond A. Pearson
followed the governor in his ad-
dress with the presentation of
military commissions and medals.
Forty-nine seniors from Wash
ington are among those receiving
degrees today.
Washington also leads with the
honor students. Henry James
Whiting of Washington, and
Miss Elgar Sherman Jones of
Olney, Md, are awarded the
citizen-hip prizes for typifying
the model citizen, and doing most
for the university. Louis w.
Berger of Washington is winner

ZOO ARE AF TER
6 POLICE JOBS

More than 200 applications are
already on file. and more are
being received daily, for six po-
lice jobs that will be filled in
Montgomery county by the coun-
ty commissioners July Z.
The last session of the Mary
land general assembly added the
six new police positions, which
will increase the force from 20
to 26 men. not including the
chief and four Montgomery coun-
ty park police.
The authorized force of the
county began with five men in
1922.
The last act of the general
assembly also provides for two
additional sergeants, making five
in all; four patrolmen, first
class, making four in all. and II
patrolmen, and a chief. The park
police, it is understood, will not
be appointed until the proposed
park development in the coun-
ty gets farther along.
Officials said that the new posi-
tions are attracting a very high
class of applicants owing to the
unemployment situation.
Although 1t has been rumored
that three of the present police
men will be dropped from the
list at the July meeting, county
officials today said nothing has
been determined in that respect
and will not be for several days.

Young Players Get Chanc,

Young players are being recruit ed for movie try-outs by the scores now where formerly they were talk en by the dozen.
 They stare at comparatively small salaries, as did James Dunn. and if fortune smiles and another Jimmy Dunn is discovered the studio has him under contract at a reasonable figure. That figure will increase. to be sure, as his fame grows, but not until he has returned to the studio with interest its investment in him.
 Those who do not stand out from the mob, of course, soon are dropped, and little is lost.
 Many good contract players, aspe- cially among the character actors. are being dropped from studio lists as an economy measure.
 Their salaries, drawn every week even when not working, are added to the cost of any production in which they appear, and studios find it much cheaper to employ them as free-lance artists when needed.
