"Hilda, I have to go up to the baby now. I guess you will have to clean up and do the dishes. Aunt Jeans tired"
 Hilda suddenly underwent peculiar metamorphosis. Where a moment ago she had been as jolly and rosy as a June peony. now in five seconds she took on the pale droop of a fragile snow drop. She looked tired, i'll and un- happy, and her listless sigh made her mother turn quickly.
 "Are you so tired, dear? I'm terribly sorry. I know you've been a busy little girl today, but as soon as the baby is better I won't have to ask you to do so much. Jean, are you going to mark papers!"
 "Yes, but I think I'll walt an hour. I think I'd better help Hil- da."
 Hilda still sighed. she remain eed pale, her shoulders continued to droop toward her plate. She was not feigning weariness. The news of doing the dishes. by pow erful mental suggestion, made her dS urea pHySicdiiy aS <AiASS ~ mouse.

When you wear an evening dress your arms are probably the most conspicuous parts of your body. See that they are soft and white and attractive.
 Arms should be washed with . good bland soap, plenty of water and a rough wash cloth. Use A brush on your elbows. Lemon juice is an excellent bleach for your arms unless they are particu- larly sensitive. In that case. use an oatmael or a tomato juice bleach.
 If they are inclined to be thin, rub them with nourishing cream at night. However. if they are tou fat, massage and the proper exer- else. will go far towards making ] them thinner. You should use 2 cleansing cream on your elbows after you have washed them thor oughly. Put it on generously and then wipe it all off with cleansing | tissues.
 Liquid powder is the best for making up your arms. Be sure | that it matches the face powder you have used on your neck and face; and put it on evenly. If you prefer a dry makeup to the Hquid powder, then use a liquid base and pat your powder on over it. You will probably need to re- move the hair under your arms | once a week with d good depila- tory. Shaving with razor does not increase the growth and there is no danger of infection if you do not use a deodorant too soon after shaving. However, if you prefer depilatory to a razor, see that you select a brand which removes the hair but does not irritate your skin. If you have an unusually heavy growth of hair on your it less conspicuous before you use a depilatory. There are several ''rinses" which will bleach the hair on your arms, and peroxide is very good.
 When you use a lotion on your hands. put some of it on your arms as well. If you have freckles. don't try to remove them with a patent remedy. Anything strong enough to remove them might injure the texture of your skin. You can usu- ally cover them pretty well with liquid powder. but if you feel that they must be removed, go to der
 matologist and have him remove them.
 Never try to remove moles yourself, as there is too much
 danger of infection. They, also,
 should be treated only by a skin
 specialist who will remove them
 with an electric needle.

The Nancy Page club members had had such good training in meal planning that they accepted the challenge of the coming year with pleasure.
 Luncheons were to be simple, in- expensive and good. Creamed foods made rich with mushrooms were not to be served at the same time that ice cream appeared in the menu. If the main course was rich, then the dessert was to be simple or vice versa. And when ever possible, the luncheons were to be oven cooked. In this way the hostess was economical of fuel, time and dishes.
 If egg whites were used in the preparation of a dish the egg yolks were to be utilized, if possible in the same meal.
 The whole plan was as much fun as a new game and the club mem- bers responded with alacrity.

If you remember that there are certain we'll established rules which govern the selection of the food you feed your family, meal plan ming is not difficult.
 The first rule in meal planning is this: a balanced diet must be maintained. Unless one is dieting protein, carbohydrate and fat must under a physician's supervision. besupplied in definite proportions. It has been estimated that the minimum calorie requirement for a day for adults is twelve calories to each pound of body weight. Children need more food in pro- portion to their weight than adults. Physically active persons need more fuel or calories than those Of sedentary habits. Of these cal- ories, ten to fifteen per cent should be protein, twenty-five per cent Tat and the remaining sixty to sixty five per cent carbohydrates. The second rule to keep in mind | is the importance of providing or ganic salts or minerals in neces- sary amounts. Calcium, phosphor- ous, iron, iodine, copper and other | minerals are essential factors Tn I
 every meal.
 Third, the protective foods" or vitamins are imperative. | Fourth, quart of milk a day for each adult should be used | either in cooking or as beverage. Fifth, each meal should contain
 something crisp which requires thorough mastication for the sake of the teeth. Supplementing these constitu- ents, bulky foods and water must be included.
 Bodybuilding Food The function of each group of foods is significant. Mary Swartz Rose states that protein food has an absolute monopoly on the ni- trogen supply of the body and that nitrogen enters into the con- struction of body proteins which are essential to the life of every cell and constitute the most prom

In connection with the building of the new British Columbia Yukon Alaska Highway, it is urged that airplane service over the proposed route would do much to help the development of various mining sections. Increased flying via Hazelton, Dease Lake. Teslin and Atlin to Fairbanks, will also help to popMarize the projected high way.
 President Hoover has announced that on the current public build ing program the list of projects covers a total of 758 buildings, in volving a total expenditure of S453,0O0,000 One of the projects recently completed was at Juneau, where the expenditure for the capital building was $795,0OO An other project now in the specifi cation stage is at Fairbanks, where the cost is to be $45O,OOO. Ketchi- kan is listed with $10,000 to secure a site. Ketchikan and Anchorage will each expect to receive an appropriation of $400,000 when Congress meets While conStruc- tion work is going on all over the country and preliminary ar arrangements are making for many other projects it may be stated that recent inquiry at the Treasury Department elicited the fact that the force in the Super vising Architects office finds it difficult to keep up with it's ex- pected program. As consequence the specifications for the Fair banks building are not yet com plete and it is stated will not be ready to offer to bidders before the early part of June. The new delay means that it will be Aug ust before the successful contractor is ready to start work on the new building
 In answer to an inquiry the Department of the Interior states that 35000 tourists visited Alaska last year, a large percentage of them only making the Southeast ern tour An effort is being made to induce more to include Cordova, Seward, Anchorage, Mt.

 The Alaska Railroad has been furnishing Nenana with heat, light and water for some years past, at a loss. The city was ad- vised some months ago that the heat and light would be discon- tinued on May IS and the water on June 15. The city is arrang- ing to have a new plant installed and to lease the government pole line and meters.
 Secretary Wilbur, Ernest Walker Sawyer and other officials of the Interior Department are particu- larly interested in the development of such coal veins in the Mata- nuska field as will supply govern ment vessels, Southeastern Alaska and California, with fuel that will be suitable to their respective needs. One of the important 1 moves toward this end is the se- curing of the services of F. R. Wadleigh, a noted coal expert from Pennsylvania, to spend the en- suing few months in Alaska. He l,s~

has won the affectionate esteem OF
music lovers of Washington, with a
statement regarding the future. If the
orchestra is to be a permanent insti-
tuition at the Capital it must be en-
dowed. A minimum of $150,000 must
be pledged to maintain and carry on
the orchestra, and unless this sum is
realized by the 1st Of May next Mr..
Kinder doubts the continuation Of the
project for another season. He says:
Washington has now arrived at the
place when 1t must decide, after two
months of sponsoring a resident SYM
phony orchestra here, whether the
Capital of the United States is capi-
tai in fact and one which will support
its own orchestra, or whether 1t Is
merely large town which finds such
! an organization lover its head" AT
this time, with one-third of the cur
rent season already over, leave the
matter to Washington and its music
! lovers to determine.
There should be no question about
continuing the orchestra. The answer
to Mr.. Kindler's statement should be
given promptly and affirmatively.. Time
is the essence of the contract, as II
were. Orchestra building is not q
matter of few weeks. Competent mu-
sicians cans not be engaged for sea-
son on the eve of the first performance
The men who have so capably con-
tributed to the success of the orches-
ira so far this season must be assured
of definite engagement in advance
Otherwise they are compelled to seek
employment for their maintenance In
other lines of work Already some OF
the members of the orchestra, uncer-
tain of their future, have accepted
such engagements which will prevent
their continuing through the remainder
of this season. This adds to the diff.
culties Of the director and initiate!
against the progressive development o,
the orchestra. A guarantee of per.
manence Is required, and that must bt
given by the people of Washington
soon after the close Of this current
program if they are to have sym
phony orchestra established at tht
Capital as an institution.

II have noticed" she says, that
children who believe in Santa Claus
get the most presents"
Perhaps that is as safe a rule to fol-
low as any when one Is very small.
Mary recently heard a strange bit OF
folk lore, which assured her that II a
child placed a fallen tooth under a
pillow the fairies would come In the
night, remove the tooh and leave a
bright, new dime In its place.
Mary received this assurance with
her usual calm.
If it's fairies, that's all right" she
said earnestly.
But if it's fathers and mothers, ]

Buffalo Evening News views the mat
ter: Neither Japan nor any other
country can improve financial condi-
tions by such a device. It Is at best
only a means of bridging temporary
difficulty" The Oshkosh Daily North
western states that the new Japanese
cabinet has adopted financial policy
that complicates the world situation
centering in the problem Of stabilizing
currency exchange and trade
Commenting on another phase of the
question. the Rochester Times Union
remarks: In the larger view, there
is, of course, the danger that If the
number of countries remaining on a
gold basis should continue to decrease
until the United States and France
should stand almost alone in this re-
spect, the value of our large gold
holdings might also decrease" The
Duluth Herald says Of such situa-
/ ton: 1T may become apparent soon
that. instead Of sitting on top Of the

they got all that gold, they are sit
ting on top Of point SO sharp that
acute discomfort may compel move.
In the opinion of the Allentown Morn
ing Call, the United States cannot
continue indefinitely and without limit
to export gold and get none in return. v
and that paper suggests that while 1t
may not drop the gold standard and
bring the train Of financial evils that
would be likely to result from such a
move, it could with propriety adopt a
reciprocity program and refuse to ex-
port gold to countries that are not
on the gold standard"
Calling attention to the fact, how
ever, that mo other standard has been

that the "15 nations expect even-

1t: "The United States dollar, based
on q gold foundation and already at

ment cannot discount, that the gold

Destruction of Holly
Protested i'm Letter
To the Editor Of The Star.

To the Editor OF The Star:
It is to be hoped that The Evening
Star, which has rendered such splen-
did service in the preservation OF the
dogwood, will render an equally enec-
tive service In the saving OF the holly
trees.
Possibly due to the depression, per
haps due to the market, whole holly
trees are being shipped into Washing
ton for sale. The holly tree Is OF the
slow-growing species, and small
branch might have required several
years to produce. It IS not so much
a question of the holly that Is used
at Christmas as it Is that which is
wasted. Great quantities remain un-
sold and are destroyed after the Christ
mas season.
Certainly unless we give some con-
sideration to the matter, the time will
rapidly approach when this most
beautiful Of all trees will become ex-
tinct. surely, in our desire to prop.
erlv celebrate Christmas, we ought not
to destroy one Of natures choicest
gifts.

Street Car Company
Blamed for Own Loss

To the Editor of The Star:
It's hard to understand why the
street car companies complain of loss
of patronage when it is entirely their
own fault. Besides the excessive street
car fares, the public has to suffer from
antiquated, uncomfortable cars.
Just let some Of the street car Off
cials ride on the Cabin John car line
some time and happen not to be fer
tunate enough to find seat next TO the
window. Then let them try to hang on
to the end seat and see how physically
worn out they will be before their des-
tination is reached They will soon
discover why the average patron prefers
to ride In most any other conveyance
but the street car.
There is no reason why we shouldn't
have decent cars, and We could also
stand a few more in service between
4:30 and $50 in the evenings.
