The Suspense Ends

A handful of new congressman
were elected to fill vacancies few
days ago. The Democrats got the
most favorable breaks and admit
tedly they will control the next
Congress, which means that they
will elect their Speaker and officers
of the House. The most important
part of their victory is that they
will have their majorities on the
different committees, and Democrats
will replace Republicans as chair
men of the different committees. So
make up your mind that the lower
House will be Democratic.

Are You Property Poorl


1t was said of certain professional
woman that she was forced to return
TO her practice because she was property
poor Probably few of us possess enough
property to be called property poor, but
that sort of poverty Is always possible,
and it is worth while to guard against it.
1t Is said that a person is property
poor when her funds are so tied up In
Of cash. OF course, the obYi equestion
to ask is IF she needs cS u so badly
why doesn't she sell some of her prop
erty?" Unfortunately. things are not
as easy for her as all that.
She may be unable TO find buyer for
her property or she may be unable to
realize on it anything like its true worth.
Usually when a woman is in that pre-
dcament she has already mortgaged
the property to its full limit. No mat
ter how long she may fcrestall emer-
Eency action, her troubles will only
add up
Taxes, assessments, carrying charges,
interest payments and like items eat up
what cash reserve she may have left.
Finally there is nothing to do but sell
and realize what she may from the sale.
All of this seems like a thoughtless sort
Of rut TO fall into, but 1t happens so
suddenly and catches one so unawares
that 1t Is difficult to guard against.
Every woman with any amount Of
money at all to invest should keep q
good portion Of it in securities that may
easily be marketed. Investment hnan-
cling Is not dissimilar to business hnan-
cling. One must have cash with which

No matter how promising q real es-

some of the money which she invested

stances for lack of cash. Money that

For months the children's chief in

Now for the next six months they will
move outdoors, so their play and their
toys should be suitable to these larger
interests
Just being outdoors, after the first
Jew intoxicating days Of Spring air and
sunshine, will not be enough. The child
has TO have toys, materials ard play
apparatus that will keep him occupied
happily. The child who roams abroad
who is always to be found at the neigh
borS' or Kissing away on adventures I'M
known, is sure TO have a yard barren
OF interest, just a square Of ground.
An inventive child can do much with
little. 1t takes no expensive play appa-
ratus TO keep a child happy. II one

Prof. Henderson announced TINS Star-
Ting scientific conclusion lot OF us
older doctors dismissed it as another
instance of theory carried TO absurd
extremes medical men OF wide ex-
perience a. prosperous practice are
inclined to take some such attitude
toward scientific developments. But
after all the spanking ceremony is just
another instance OF post hoe ergo prop

professor was just giving play to his

suspicion that maybe the man was
right-and I've spanked more new born
babies than I care to confess. For the
ones that began breathing the treat
ment seemed quite effective-but for
the ones that did not begin breathing
it seemed cruel.
Prof Henderson has proved scientih-
cally-that is as different from post hoe

that carbon dioxide Is the natural
Stimulant to breathing, and the little
carbon dioxide in ordinary air is not
enough. nor is the larger proportion
that is given to the air from the blood
in the lungs, in the case of the new
born infant. Therefore he advocates
the universal routine administration to
all new born babies Of the carbon di0X-

feel that this is necessary in every in

On a white dress the flowers may
be done in pink with green for the

Violet may be used for the flowers alone
or with pink. On pink dress the
flowers may be Of light blue or Of white

attractive on blue.
Small bouquets Of this sort may be
used effectively on negligees or to deco
rate sachets lingerie cases and other
| dainty dressing room accessories.
Flowers are used in a wide variety
of ways on the Summer dresses. A
lawn collar used on q black nat crepe
dress is edged with white lace flowers
which also edge the short sleeves of

is trimmed along the lower edge Of the
skirt with a row Of black lace roses ap-

In spite of the fact that more

have returned to favor for evening and
afternoon wear, the conventional rather
formal flowers are still favored for
street wear and In Paris those of white
pique, black patent leather and lizard
skin are decidedly smart.

Scaly Compilations.

Whatever the cause Of the dryness,
definite steps must be taken to improve
the condition. For. in addition to be-
ing most unattractive, it is the dry
skin which wrinkles early in life
Sometimes the condition Is due to ex-
ternal causes. such rs washing with
harsh soaps and failure to rinse or dry
the skin thoroughly, washing in hard
water or washing too frequently with
soap and water Many have found that
a simple change in the cleansing meth
DDS will restore beauty to skin which
has faded and become scaly.
AS rule, dry compilations should
be clesnsed with a good cleansing
cream or oil. Powder and makeup
should never be applied directly TO a
skin inclined to be dry. and it viii be
found that a thin Aim of cold cream
