Charity" and Holiday.

Leave 1t to the crooks around this
time Of year to rig up the fake "chari-
ties which bleed your purse. You
should know that your town has q
chamber Of commerce, a federated bu-
reau Of charities, a charitable and well
fare society. or some other similar
agency TO which YOU can 60 directly
for information about deserving chart
ties.
Folks feel kindly around holiday time
and SO thankful for the blessings Of the
year that there Is probably more money
given to charity in this short period
than during all the rest Of the year.
The crooks are wise in human nature
and they we'll know this. That Is an
added reason why we should make our
contributions with intelligence.
If you haven't time to write in to an
agency or call in person, telephone But
beware Of a telephone number which a
suspicious solicitor urges you to call for
information.
Remember that any suspicious or
ganization which you may report for in
vestigation may be defrauding thousands
Of others as well as yourself. Be espe-
ciany wary about new charities,
founded by people Of whom you have
never heard and whose reason for exist
ing seems vague.
Do not patronize door-to-door can
vassers and street solicitors. If their
cause seems worthwhile, take the name
Of the organization and its address for
further investigation.

IL laugh at another's expense
The Northern shrike, or butcher
i i bird, Is a versatile policeman OF

ther his own ENDS.
When the ogre descends upon a group
OF small birds, great Is their agitation
and fear. The screaming and desperate
efforts OF his surprised victims to make
good their escape seems to fill him with
great delight His laugh Is a mixture
Of chuckle and scream-a harsh, un-
feeling noise, far from welcome tc any
one who might hear it. .,
He has a fair for initiating the call
notes of little birds, and so we'll does
he initiate them that when they hear
the calls coming from the field or
meadow they do not stop to investigate,
but come running or flying eagerly to-
ward the call. The wretch Is hidden
behind a clump of bushes, and when
the little birds are within reach he
rushes out and grabs his prey.

needs. He does not kill to live. His

absent-minded and forgetful, too, often

house. He had no business be-
ing asleep. He had no business in that
henhouse. But there he was and fast
asleep, while outside by the old stone
wall Unc' Billy waited and watched and
wondered what could have happened to
Runty.
Runty hadn't intended to 20 asleep.
No sir, he hadn't intended to do any
thing Of the kind. All he had intended
to do was to rest few minutes and
then leave by the way he had entered.
But his stomach was full, just about
as full as it could be, for he had eaten
two eggs. Now as you know, q full
stomach always makes one lazy and Is
quite likely to make one sleepy. 1t
was Just SO with Runty. He had in
but almost at once his eyes had closed
and there he was sound asleep.
Gentle Mistress Moon settled behind
the Purple Hills, the twinkling stars
hid and jolly, round, bright Mr.. Sun
blue sky, but Runty knew nothing
about it. Unc' Billy did, however He
knew that he ought to be back in the
Green Forest, but he was worried about
Runty. Then, too, he wanted to see
what was going to happen. So he re-
manned right where he was. There
was an opening between the stones of
the old wall close by and he knew
that once down under the old wall he
would be quite safe. So he remained
there watching.
"Cockedoodle- doodle-do!"
Unc' Billy pricked up his ears. The
old rooster in the henhouse was awake
and soon all the hens would be awake.
Would they find Runty and if they did
what would they do to him? The
lii rascal is bound to get in a lot of
trouble If he don't keep out of sight.
Yes, sub, he is in fo' a lot Of trouble,
thought Unc' Billy.
AS for Runty, he awoke with a start
when the old rooster crowed. Inside
the henhouse the sound was very loud
and startling Again the rooster
crowed. BY this time Runty was very
much awake. So were most of the
hens and they were beginning to move
about. Until now Runty hadn't rea-
lized what big birds they were. He
suddenly felt very small. He wished
with all his might that he had left the
henhouse as soon as he had eaten that
last egg. But he hadn't and now he
didn't dare try. No, sir, he didn't dare
try. The one thing he wanted most OF
anything was to remain unseen. There
was a little straw in that nesting box
and he tried his best to get under it SO
that he would not be seen should any
one look in there.
"Ah wish All was back in the Green
Forest" he whimpered under his

culent vegetables. With a swift, hawk
like swoop, the butcher has his prey,
The grasshopper Is expressing his sur
prise by making terrific kicks and spill
Ing tobacco juice" Since the grass
hopper has no consideration whatever
for US, and often leaves us without a
spear Of grass, we cannot but feel kindly
toward the officer who patrols our
fields In search Of this intruder.
In mild climates the Northern shrike,
or butcher Bird, Is seen through the
whole Winter. He is about the size OF
robin, dressed in slate-gray, with an
edge Of white showing on his wing
quilts and tail. These show up when
he flies. On the center Of his outer
wing Is white spot. and in line with
the center Of his eye and to the side
Of his throat Is black band. His eyes
are very bright and his bill Is shaped
like the hawks. His spouse has q
costume more brownish than his.
They roam Northern North America
migrating to the riddle portions Of the
United States or going South in the
Winter. The number Of caterpillars
and insects, as well as mice, killed by
these birds Is hard to estimate. His
once in our favor is great.
In order to clear our minds OF his
habits and the blood -thirstiness Of his
tribe, he sings us a beautiful song one
warm morning In March, and the ogre
Is not seen again until November.

be so securely done up that they will

Partners for this game are found by
matching colors Of tiny Santa Claus
packs passed around by the hostess.
These are made from crepe paper

wee parcel containing q favor in each
pack, such as diminutive Santa Clauses,

Matching favors may then secure IA
vors, regardless of the color Of the
packs.
Each player In turn reaches into the
pack and takes out three parcels, and
standing at designated place tries to
throw them one at a time into the
chimney. The partners whose COM
bined scores are largest win prizes. II
the chimney Is knocked down the play
er who does it forfeits his turn and
whatever he has scored during that
round.
As will be seen 1t Is important to
have parcels soft. Weights can be
placed on the out-turned ends of the
chimney to hold it firm. The number
Of rounds is determined by the hostess.
When the pack Is emptied, parcels are
picked up and put into the pack to be
used again.

Everyday Psychology
Foot Ball.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRoWLs.

Now that the season is over, there is
nothing to do but to get ready for next
season. Meanwhile, there remains a
psychological question of some impor-
tance. Why does foot ball seem to in
crease in popularity as the seasons
come and go?
First, can it be that foot ball Is
comparable to the ancient Roman cir
Gus? If so, it's a psychological suhsti-
tute for failure (the Roman circus was
mental sop for a discouraged,
poverty-stricken population. Actually
on the part of players, and vicariously
on the part Of fans, foot ball holds out
the promise Of a ready recognition of
power. More than one college in
America became known, and flourished
for time, in consequence of two or
three successful foot ball seasons.
Are the American people Just a little
tired Of the machine age? And if So,
does not foot ball defy the invasion of
mechanism, as such, by building a
human machine with modicum of
versatility?
There must be something in foot ball
besides athletics as such. And that
something. whatever it is, is not likely
to lose its hold on the minds of the
American people.

An oil facial treatment is splendid

creams and lotions, or you may use the
recipes that I give from time to time in

those who do not have the time nor

Apply it generally and rub it well into

dirt and CRIME which the cleanser has
taken up. Use a tissue square for
this purpose, folded croSswise over the
first two fingers. This softens the skin
and removes the dust and old makeup
Next, moisten a pad of absorbent
cotton in skin stimulant and 60 over
the entire face and neck. If your skin
is not too sensitive use a mild soap
and a small complexion brush and go
over the entire face and neck. Wiring

water and hold it over the face Then
rinse well in warm water and blot the
skin dry with your warm towel.
While the skin is warm apply your

Modern Laundry
Expert Explain s
met Bag System"
Tells How Manhattan
Saves You Money By
Saving Your Clothes

SovAAAk AoaA >AoSAA~o
Present day laundry methods,
which preserve clothes as we'll as
clean them, are far superior to the
old home method of rubbing and
scrubbing, according to Mr.. E. F.
Wesley, chief of the Research De-
partment of Manhattan Laundry.
Mr.. Wesley attributes a large part
Of the Manhattan Laundry's sue
cess to their Net Bag System.
Manhattan's famous Net Bag
System of washing, as described by
Mr.. Wesley, follows: First, the
clothes are assorted according to
their color and material and placed
in individual net bags which bear
the customers name and contain
only that customers articles. Safe
in the nets and protected from all
metal or other hard surfaces, the
clothes 90 into the washers. Here
they are subjected to the gentle
cleansing action of swirling hot
suds which penetrate each garment
and loosen every particle of dirt.
Only the purest Of Palm Oil soaps
and soft, filtered water are used,
after first having been inspected
and tested by the Research Depart
ment. Many rinsings Of fresh,
clear water follow, removing every
trace of dirt. This thorough care
in washing is one reason why Man.
haitian laundered clothes stay new
looking so much longer.
Customer Praises Net Bags
In a recent letter to the Man
haitian Laundry, Mrs. E. R. D.
writes:
&c. But the one actual fact
that pleases me most is that
the clothes do not show as
much wear as they did when I
had my laundry done at home
:. It is indeed pleasure to
recommend you ="
This letter is typical of the many
received by Manhattan from salts
fed customers throughout the Dis
trict of Columbia and Virginia.
3-Day Collection and Delivery
Quite another Manhattan feature
which has found great favor with
Washington housewives is their g.
Day Collection and Delivery Ser
vice. In this highly developed sys-
tenn your clothes are collected one
day, laundered to your order the
next and delivered to you promptly
the afternoon Of the third day. For
instance, if your clothes are COL
lected Monday morning they are
delivered Wednesday afternoon ;
called for Tuesday, back home
Thursday, and so on. No delay.
No worry. And there is no addi-
tional charge for this extra service.
Services to Fit Every Need
Manhattan offers the housewife
a wide selection of economical SER
vices - from Complete Finished
Family to individual piece work.
There is service to fit every need
and purse, and every service re-

and massage movements. Wipe off the

lowing manner: Heat about two table
spoonfuls of the muscle oil, oil of sweet
almonds, olive Oil or mineral oil. Pat
warm oil evenly over the face, throat
and neck. Cut square of gauze or

oil pack on the skin about 20 minutes.
Then wipe of carefully. Next moisten
your pads in mild astringent and pat
the skin with them gently. Blot the
ing out after the treatment, finish
your makeup in the usual manner.
If not, leave the skin tonic on the skin
overnight. The treatment just de-
scribed may be taken twice week for
six or seven weeks. Then once a week
afterward for those with dry, scaly
skin, or skin inclined to hold lines and
wrinkles. The warm oil lubricates the
skin and the gentle massage tones up
the facial muscles and the circulation.
The daily cleansing Of the skin may
be along the usual lines for dry, sensi-
tive skins.
