IA of George Washington, recently
~ \ acquired by Charles Lee Frank,
we'll known Washington art
connoisseur, was shown today as an in
teresting piece of eighteenth century
craftsmanship The bust is about seven
inches in height
The statuette, which shows traces OF
Indian work in the high cheek bones,
with the Queque worn in Colonial
times, as conceived by the American
native, is believed to have been made
about 1890 from Virginia stone, with
mica in it. The tribe of Indians to
which the craftsman belonged has not
been determined, Mr.. Frank says.
Originally, he explained, the piece
belonged to Gov. John Page of Virginia,
close friend of Washington. Later,
the statuette came into the possession
of one of the governors grand-nephews.
Thomas Jefferson Page, well known
Navy officer. Mr.. Frank acquired the
statuette from the estate of Page, who
cast in his lot with the South in the
Civil War, went to Sweden to outfit
vessel, only to have it interned in
Spain, forcing him to fee to South
America.
On the back of the statuette, there
is a thumbmark, which Mr.. Frank ex-
plains is the secret mark of the Indian
craftsman.

Best Remedy for
Cough Is Easily
Mixed at Home

You'll never know how quickly a
stubborn cough or chest cold can be
conquered, until you try this famous
recipe. 1t is used in millions of homes,
because it gives more prompt, positive
relief than anything else. It's no trou.
bic at all to mix and costs but trife.
Into pint bottle, pour pa ounces
Of Pinex: then add plain granulated
sugar syrup or strained honey to make
a full pint. This saves two-thirds of
the money usually spent for cough
medicine, and gives you purer, better
remedy. It never spoils, and tastes
good-children like it.
You can actually feel its penetrat-
ing, soothing action on the inhamed
throat membranes. 1t is also absorbed
into the blood, where it acts directly
on the bronchial tubes. At the same
time. il promptly loosens the germ-laden
phlegm. This three-fold action explains
why II brings such quick relief even in
severe bronchial coughs which follow
cold epidemics.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound OF genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent of creosote, in
a refined, palatable form, and known
as one Of the greatest healing agents
for severe coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
II is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

CAPONE MAY Be

tCopyriEht. 1881. by United Pressi

CHICAGO. March "A ring OF
super-gangsters, it developed today
may be using the notorious Scar
face Al' Capone as mere pawn to
direct suspicion of federal, state and

heads of Americas most powerful

AS Chicago gangster would tell
the story, if he dared:
"Scarface Al maybe isn't such a
big shot after all. It begins to look
like he's just the front to take the

Confidential information indicates

Science has made important dis

average fat person can now rip of
fat a pound day-four to seven
pounds every weekI-on a full

stay fat.
This is what you do: Take a
teaspoonful ordinary Jad Salts in a
glass of water half hour before
breakfast every morning. This re-
duces moisture weight instantly.

Washington Fashions
By WILMA LAVuLE

There are two new stories in
evening wraps for fall, long
wrap and short wraps. But
this long and short Of it'Hdoes
not exclude the in between
wrap, which many women con.
slider the happy medium. II you
want to be very new wear either
a little short wrap that is
scarcely more than a jacket, or
wear one that almost covers
your dress. But II you are rather
conservative and want one wrap
to wear over everything, you
may possibly buy the three
quarter wrap.
Jackets For Puffs
There are sound reasons in
the choice of a length and
there are wraps for each type
gown. If you wear a frock With
hustle bows out the back, with
drapery or puffS somewhere. or
with anything that crusheS
easily, then your wrap must be
short. Short wraps are very
young looking, ave a chic all
their own, and also are more
inclined to be inexpensive. Some
of the newer ones are little
Jackets, cut something like
mans smoking jacket, and are
adorable as a wrap to wear IN
doors or on very mild nlgnt,
but will offer very Scant pro-
lection against the cold OF a
winter night.
Length Is Regal
If your gown is long and
slim, as the majority Of them
are, then you will probably
want a full length wrap or
wrap that covers most OF your
gown. OF course, this is a
supremely practical idea, and in
this year Of low prices 1t may
be an inexpensive necessity, for
velvet cruShes easily. and par
ticularly if your gown is light.
it may be well worth while to
have it covered entirely up.
Occasionally you see a gown
with low.placed trimming, and
it is with these that a hip
length or three-quarter wrap is
best. Many women will buy
them anyway, as they are more
of an all-around type and look
more like they might be worn
with almost any gown.
Furred Or Not
Velvet is almost universal as
a fabric for evening wraps and
by far the majority are in
black. It's optional whether or
not they have fur on them, but
white fur on black. as you have
seen everywhere, is very popus
lar. Lapin, smooth and sheared,
is very smart, and rabbit or
hare appears often. OF course,
if you can have ermine, by all
means do, for nothing is love-
lier. But the wraps without
fur are quite distinguished look
ing and, this year, there are
many ways of making them
look formal. Collars are shirred
so that they stand UP like fur.
The Washington times., 1931-11-06

Sleeves are lovely in shirred
and draped effects. Lines fit
as beautifully as the gowns
underneath.
Slender Lines
The wrap sketched is of black
velvet and makes the most of
the beauty of silhouette and
material. The collar is shirred
so that it stands in a pouch,
and the sleeves are shirred in
graceful folds, so that they
present popular width at the
elbow. The lining is of white
satin. This wrap is priced in
extensively for the fine quality
of velvet and the splendid
making.

this wrap, or for fashion or
shopping news, write Miss La
