silk and wool would be the gen.
eral choice.
It is remarkable how much
foreign matter is allowed to
remain in many materials de-
signed for contact with these
delicate skins. CelluloSe patti
cles, dirt and foreign material
need specially careful methods
for their removal. An even,
close weave with soft inside tex
ture is produced only by the
expenditure of some trouble,
but the better grades Of manu-
facture assure this.
Cause Skin Ailments
Many skin troubles, ranging
from simple mechanical irrita-
ton of harsh particles to hyper
SensitivenesS of the infant to
some of the products used, are
aScribed to improper refinement
in preparation of the materials
used. HypersenSitiveness may
develop to either cotton, wool
or silk, so there is no certain
choice of any of these materials
to be insisted upon.
Little things are important.
The question of using ties or
buttons is the subject of some
debate. Most pediatricians are
in favor of ties as being less
liable to pressure irritation.
The danger of buttons becom-
ing loose and of the child put
ting a button in the mouth and
getting it into the windpipe
also counts against them. IN
any event, the simpler the gar
ment, with the fewest possible
number of jointures, is of the
greatest importance.

Journeys In
Brief
By TEMPLE MANNING

Most history may be writ
on water" but you will un-
cover the story of Austria's
glorious past by browsing
around the baroque buildings
that make Vienna, architecture
ally, one of the most interest
ing of the Old World capitals.
In and near this middle-Eu-
ropean metropolis you will find
few structures dating back to
the Renaissance, or for that
matter to the Middle Ages. The
ornate buildings, abounding in
cupolas and stone curlycues,
were built mostly in the seven
teenth, eighteenth and nine
teenth centuries.
One of the great monuments
to the Hapsburgs' love for splen-
dor is the palace of Schonbrunn.
One of the great monuments
to the Hapsburgs' love for splen-

The palace has been COM

huge gardens. These last COM

grottoes, beautiful walks,

meant something!"
Schonbrunn contains the

Christmas time!
just think Of their eager
little faces, as they rush in to
see the glittering tree! Great
expectations suddenly realized
and pent up excitement let
loose. It's their biggest day
of the year!
Better Than Ever
And this Christmas is sure
to be more thrilling-much
merrier than ever. Toy depart
ments, at all times appealing,
are now transformed into a
real paradise for youngsters.
For grown-ups, too! Because
never before have there been
such marvellous, such intriguing
toys for so very little money.
There're lots more in our
Christmas booklet than we've
shown here. If you haven't
one-be sure to send in for it.
Doll Houses for One and All
We'd always had the idea
that really nice-looking doll
houses were only meant for
rich little girls. How very
wrong we were! This year
nearly every plea to Sanity for
a doll house will be fulfilled.
For now you can buy them
from So on up. But even more
amazing is the price Of these
cunning houses, with electric
lights. Did you have the
slightest idea that you can get
one for as little as $40?
All Ready to Be Lit
That's about the price Of the
cunning Dutch Colonial house
Sketched at the left above. It's
made of white painted wood
with a fibre board roof. The
backs removable, giving access
to all four of the rooms. And
it's all wired, and ready to light

The Washington times., 1931-12-07

The tiny living-room furni-
ture, just outside, is all ready
to be moved in. The size is in
exact proportion to the house.
A sofa and two matching
chairs, standing lamp, a
piano and stool-all for a dol
lar bill! And you can get the
most adorable complete bed
room. bathroom, dining-room or
kitchen sets for the same price.
They Love to Build and Make
Things
And now for the boys! Well
bet there's not one alive who
doesn't love to build things!
Here's some good news! You
can get, the grandest building
set this year with an electric
motor One that we liked par
ticularly has a gear box, too,
and over $50 separate parts.
The train we've pictured up
above is just one Of the many
things that can be built-and
made to run. It's a miniature
duplicate of a real locomotive.
Then besides, a boy can con-
struct, with his own hands,
cranes that revolve, wrecking
derricks that move and various
kinds of steam plants Gust like
ones made by great engineers).
Two big books give all direc-
tions and everything comes in
strong, brass-bound red
wooden chest. It costs about
$3.50. Smaller sizes without
electric motors are good fun,
too, and, Of course, are lower
in price.
Houses That Have to Be Built
Once a boy has a train, the
first things he wants are a sta
ton and houses and such.
They make the trains little
trips across the rug seem so
much more realistic! The rail-
road station and gas station
we've pictured are made OF
real wood-painted in attrac-
tive colors. But they're not all
finished and built-not at all.
A child has to put them to-
gether himself! Even the metal
frames have TO ba hammered
The Washington times., 1931-12-07

in place-and hammer and
tackS are provided.
Two houses, a barn and a
tall-steepled church complete
the set of six buildings. And
the price is only about So.
Bought separately, they're soc
apiece.
Make An Empire State Building
This building instinct starts
at the block-age! And the most
up-to-date, ultra-modern blocks
we ever hope to see, are the
sky-scraper ones on the right.
These cubes with windows come
in four sizes and so do the
roofs. The price IS about So.
Another good thought for a
little tot is the calico horse in
the background. His name and
tail and saddle are felt, and
he's very soft and nice to play
with. Just about a dollar is all
he costs.
Toys to Wash With
If you're looking for a really
practical gift, there's nothing
to equal a toy for the tub!
A toy in the form Of soap!

A young mother writes to me
to inquire whether any definite
opinions are held by pediatri-
clans about Infants clothes,
especially underwear.
A QUESTIONABLE was sent out
to more than 500 physicians
concerning this subject by an
underwear manufacturing com.
pany. The answers developed
that a great many careful OBJ
servationS had been made on
the subject and on most points
there we're quite definite opin-
ions and quite general agree
ment.
On account of it's greater
radiating skin surface, as com.
pared with body weight, the in
FAINT is more susceptible to tenn
perature change than the adult.
It is we'll known that infants
and children will run a tenn
perature more readily than an
adult; their heat regulating CEN
ters are less stable than the
older persons. For these rea-
sons alone, properly protective
underwear is essential.
Baby'S Underwear
AS to the material of which
the baby's underwear should be
made, cotton alone and silk and
wool combinations are about
equally preferred. Very few
physicians prefer silk alone.
All wood is not much more popu-
lar. It is probable that the
question Of cost influences

cost is not a pressing item,

He Lacks Courage

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Three years ago, at my
friends house, I met a young
man for whom have grown to
care very much. According to
my friend, he always asks for me
and asks when I am going to
invite them up to my house
again. He has been here once
with the crowd. I am % years
of age, he is %. I really do
care a lot for this young man.
How shall I find out whether
or not he cares for me?
M. H.
That seems quite a simple
problem, my dear M. H. Now
that the days are getting cooler
and little groups are gathering
indoors, just set up a table of
bridge, call this young man on
the phone and invite him. He
may be slow and shy about get
ting better acquainted with you
and little party like this will
encourage him. Serve some
sandwiches and coffee. After
that, however, if he doesn't have
the courage to ask you for a
date, I should let the matter
drop.

that further adverse bidding

the airship previously planned
for the Service-the LZ-128-waS
Scrapped last November because
of certain lessons in design
learned through the destruction
of the British airship R-1O1 in
France.
The transatlantic airship line
will be financed by German and
American capitalists and as soon
as the United States Navy air
ships are completed in Akron,
Ohio, an American sister ship to
the LZ-129 will be built.
It is expected that the Ameri-
can airship will be ready to take
it's place in the service by March,
1884, at which time an airship
will leave with passengers and
cargo once a week from both the
German and American terminals
Carries IS on Board
The LZ.129 will carry so ras-
sengers and S5 members Of the
crew. There will be a lifting
capacity of Is tons, 10 tons Of
which will be used in connection
with passengers and freight.
With the lesson in mind of the
Inflated R-101, which used hydro
gen, DR.. Eckener said that helium
would be used for initiation pur-
poses.
The American Government has
practically a monopoly on the
supply of helium, but Eckener
said he expected little trouble in
getting permission from the gov
ernment to use the non-inflam-
mable gas.
A further element Of safety
will be added in the form Of
Deisel engines using crude oil for
fuel instead of gasoline.
$500 Lowest Charge
The development of the engines
was expected by the time the
LZ-129 is completed. Eckener
said. He added:
I'VE expect to charge from
$500 to $1,000 q passenger,
which is only so per cent more
than the passage on an ocean
express liner.
Boon to Business Men
"a dirigibIe transatlantic line
will be highly desirable for
business men who wish to
make a hurried trip abroad to
transact their business per-
Sonally.
"It takes from five to six
days to go to Europe on an
ocean liner and consequently
many business men use the
cables instead.
ION our dirigibleS we can do
it in two days eastward bound
and two and One-haf days
westward bound.
