Efforts were being made by the police
today to establish the identity of a
patient in Casualty Hospital, a man
about IS years old, who was picked ur.
unconscious at North Capitol and I
streets last night. He has light com

And when of fur, will more
often be white fur.
Dresses With Jackets
We predict you'll see tailored
suits on Easter. But that you'll
see more of the soft, dreSsmaker
type, made of soft, crepey wool
ems.
And outstanding among all
these soft-looking suits will be
the one that fastenS at the left
side in a diagonal or surplice
line.
Hats of New StrawS
We predict most Easter hats
will be made of straw. And
that next in number will be
combinations of straw and
fabric. These straws will be
milans, bakus, balibuntls, pan
amalacs and Straws with 0 new
rough texture.

my very sincere sympathy.
She Is Fat and Also Lonesome
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 want some friends, and I
always feel a tinge of lone
someness come into my heart
when my older sister laughs
and talks with other boys and
girls, she is so popular. I
take over most all the clothes
she can't wear and I help
keep the house clean, for pop
ular as she is, she never half
cleans the house. People talk
to me if I'm the only one
around, but otherwise don't see
me. My sister is thin and I
am quit fat-do you suppose
that makes the difference in
our appeal? Would lemons make
me thin? Oh, Miss Fairfax, I
hate to be fat and I do want a
few friends.
LONESOME.
Please try to stop thinking
people will pay no attention to
you if the slender siren of a sis
ter is around. First thing you
know you'll hypnotic yourself
with that idea, make it come
true, very likely. "Sell' yourself
the idea that it isn't tr1le and
go ahead and make people
comfortable and contented
around you, and see if that
won't make you popular on
your own account. AS to being
fat-don't eat between meals,
cut out ice cream, candy and
don't eat bread and potatoes at
the same meal. Take setting
up exercises. No, I don't be-
lieve lemons would do the
trick.

THE BEAUTY
BOX

What has become of the
baby stare? It has gone COM
pletely out of style, if it ever
was in, which is doubtful. The
girl with the efficient express
sion isn't so smarty, either;
she is likely to get a hard
look on her face. The interest
ing face is the one that lights
up now and then, that changes.
Cupid seldom takes a second
glance at woman who looks
like an image. There is also
the machine-gun face, but OF
that, another time.
Hard water flays the skin.
It is responsible for itching,
flaking, chapping. A good
water softener is made by COM
bining six ounces of rubbing
alcohol, one-half ounce of am
monia, one dram of oil of Law
ender. Pour a few drops into
a bowl of water when bathing
the face. The Tubing will be
more thorough and refreshing.
Good for oily skin. Only few
drops are necessary; not more
than half a teasp0onful of liquid
is necessary.
Camomile tea is a sort of
spiritual comfort to little dear
hearts whose brain mats once
golden are now drab; it bright
ems the glints. 1t doesn't give
the solid-gold look of peroxide
or the lemon-and-saltS-of tartar
rinse. Fill a teaball with camo-
mile leaves and let it stand in a
quart of boiling water for two
hours. Use as q final rinse for
the shampoo. This herb was
used before payOxide was ever
heard Of.

NEW YORK-If the weather's

One reason why they're more

HEALTH AND
DIET
BY Logan Clendening-

Animal experiments on the
subject of the healthiness or
the harm of eating meat are
not satisfactory. The animals
most often used have been
rabbits. 1t is not exactly a
comparison to take a rabbit.
used to an exclusively vegetable
diet, feed it high protein diets
and then draw deductions from
what happens to it.
But even so, the reports on
such experiments do not agree.
One group says the rabbits
showed injury, the other group
that such rabbits are 40 diff
ferent from control rabbits liV-
ing a normal rabbit life.
Tests at Variance
Human perrin ents are
equally at variance. The Arctic
employer, DR.. Stefansson, and
companion. agreed to eat moth
ing but meat for a year in the
temperature climate of New
York. Smoeone had said that
meat alone was all right for
the Eskimos because the cold
of the Arctic circle counter
acted the bad effects. They ate
about 40 grams (over a quar-
ter of a pounO of protein.
300 grams of fat and II grams
of carbohydrate a day. At the
end of the year their health
was unimpaired, there was no
rise of blood pressure and no
evidence of kidney disease.
Opposing this, an experiment
at the University Of Michigan
concerned a volunteer who was
given 327 grams of protein a
day. At the end of six months
he showed what the expert
menters called evidence of kid
ney damage" But it has been
criticized that the subject re-
ceived "a truly Gargantuan
dose" of protein, and that in
spite of the evidence of kidney
damage and the high daily
caloric intake of his diet, he
quickly returned to normal con-
ditions and that his health
really was not at any time i'm
paired.
MedicOs Do Not Agree
You can see from this that
the medical profession is not
agreed on the subject of eating
meat. When the ordinary per
son would like to know what he
should do about it the answer
comes from the everyday eX
perience of the race. Personally
I know of no vegetarian doctors.
Most of them eat at least
quarter of a pound of meat
day. I know of number OF
people who have eaten that
much or more and lived to adj
vanced ages. One particular
family of heavy meat eaters OF
my acquaintance consists of five
brothers and sisters all over the
age of 10 and two over the age
of 80.

Life, Love and Adventures
Of a Modern Cinderella
CHAPTER "A

Anything" Lorry told De-
light, conscious of a sense of re-
lief, or reprieve, for which he
hated himself.
"Then get hold of that press
agent lad. I want to talk to
him"
Larry MITCHELL Of course.
It won't be hard. He's prob
ably at the Wynnes' now"
"Wynnes'?"
"Neighbors of ours. Mitchell
is engaged to the daughter"
"Oh, yes, I remember. A
young man in love. He was the
perfect picture of that touching
state. Well, get him for me if
you can; I want to ask him
something"
After Lorrimer had left the
room she lay back against the
pillows and tried to think her
way out. There was no doubt
that she was tempted. Terribly
tempted. She admitted as
much to herself. Why hadn't
Mary Lou stayed and fought it
out with her? Why had she
run away? But" thought De-
light, "in this case running
away took more courage. All
she had to do was stay and say
nothing and let him look at
both of u.s." She smiled, very
bitterly, having no illusions.
''But now that she has run
away" said Delight 70 herself,
"she's left me clear field.
Well, comparatively clear; I'd
be a fool not to take advantage
Of it. But then, I've always
been a fool"
Before dinner Larry Mitchell
arrived. He arrived in a condl.
ton which strongly resembled
excitement, for Jenny, meeting
him at the station that after
noon, had, of course, told him
the whole story Of her encounter
with Mary Lou.
Just an Imbecile
"She said she'd keep in
touch with us. But she won't.
Where has she gomez" Jenny
demanded frantically. What
will she do? Larry, we must
find her; she's breaking her
heart over Travers and this
idiotic woman, whoever she is.
And it's all your fault! To
think that I have promised to
marry such an unmitigated i'm
becile!" cried Jenny, very much
upset.
Check" agreed Larry, as
disturbed as she. But how
could I know that Mary Lou,
darn her, would spill the COM
plicated beans? I tell you,
Jenny, was blamed near
keeping the whole business to
myself, but I couldn't. You see
the situation had to be cleared
up sooner or later. Mary Lou
couldn't go on pretending to
the end of time. She couldn't

Delight, a little harshly.

STAR
William Shwader-
THE YEAR AHEAD
For those whose birthday is
April 5

~-oS SSANeSNS
April s
If April 5 is your birthday,
during the coming year you
are under some changing and
unsettled conditions. So much
depends on your own ability
to respond to the unusual vi
bration from the planet Uranus.
It is apt to bring sudden
changes, breaking up of old
conditions, ties, environment
or present mode. of living.
Much work along unusual,
original, intuitive or inventive
lines may be accomplished.
Avoid excesses of all kinds, take
no risks and maintain routine
from April to 30, July 2 to 8,
August 81 to 26, Sept. 80 to
Oct. 2, Oct. Z to 9, Nov. 10 to
80, Jan. 4 to 6. Good for gen.
eral affairs from May to IL,
July 3 to 5, August 6 to IA,
Sept. II to q, Nov. 16 to 20.
Contradictory dates show two
opposing influences.
A child born April 5 will be
particularly intuitive, original,
penetrating and inventive. He
will posses a vivid imagination
and a strong personality. He
should benefit through older
people and contact with artis.
tic and unusual people.
Tendencies for April 6. The
early part Of the day inclines
to carelessness in money mat
tiers or slight personal diSap-
pointments. A favorable as
pect from the Moon to Uranus
is beneficial for intuitive and
original thinking. Some of the
ideas may be found useful for
future use.
APRIL 6
For those whose birthday is
April 6.
If April 6 is your birthday,
during the coming year you are
under a powerful Uranian in
fluence. It should enable you
to accomplish much if you do
not act in too hasty or impul-
sive a manner. Changes are
apt to come about unexpectedly.
Difficulties with partners might
arise through erratic behavior.
Important dates: Avoid nervous
tension ID make no changes
from April 6 to 7, october Fl to
November 80, December l to 81,
January /, to 80. Low vitality,
avoid depression and maintain
routine from September l to ~,
October to 9. Financially ad-
verse from April IS to May 7,
take no risks July 6 to 8, August

Good for general affairs from
May 6 to 8, 7 to IA, August 5 to
9, September 16 to october l,
November II to 20, February "a
to March /. Contradictory
dates show two opposing influ-
enceS.
A CHILD born April 6 will
be original, independent and
intuitive. He should possess
great constructive ability and
succeed in electrical engineer
ing, public appointments, or in
connection with intellectual or
artistic work, especially music.

It would probably cause less

his kindness in letting her wear

married now. Ever since we've
met, we've corresponded in a
friendly way. Four weeks ago
I met him when I was visiting
in a distant city and he told
me that there was four days
vacation coming to him and I
asked him to come to our home
town to spend it. He said he
would. Should I write and re-
mind him of his promise-I
don't want him to think I'm
crazy about him or running
after him. My mother and his
mother are friends. POLLY.
Next time you write you might
suggest that he come down for
those four days vacation he
mentioned. This should be
very easy to manage in an
agreeable way as your mother
