MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS

the skin will determine just how often
soap may be used on it. Once a week
an oil facial treatment should be given
to keep the skin smooth. Every night
after the cleansing some tissue cream or
muscle oil should be patted gently on
the skin, especially where wrinkles form
at the outer corners of the eyes and
month.
To prevent chapped hands one must
be very careful to dry the skin we'll
after washing and Immediately apply a
hand lotion. Wear warm gloves that
are not too tight. Do not let your hands
become chilled. At bedtime massage
with tissue cream. Never manicure
the nails when the hands are cold and
dry Chapped ankles need an oily mas
sage at bedtime and protection from
cold during exposure outdoors. Thin
silk stockings do not afford enough
protection on wintry days. One may buy
light weight wool stockings to wear
under silk ones. The knitted CATERS or
leggings that have been popular for
several Winters are even more salts
factory than the under stockings, be-
caues they can be taken off without re-
moving ones silk hose when one goes
indoors.
The creams and oils that are so
necessary to keep the skin fabricated
at this season may be purchased at any
store that handles cosmetics, but for
those of my readers who prefer home
made beauty aids I am giving the
following recipes:
Tissue Cream-Melt together in a
double boiler one-half ounce white wax,
one-half ounce spermaceti, two ounces
lanolin and two ounces of oil of sweet
almonds. Remove from fire and beat
in gradually one ounce orange flower
water and five drops simple tincture
of benZoin.
Muscle Oil-Three ounces oil sweet
almonds two ounces sweet oil, one and
one-half ounces cologne water, one-half
dram oil of roses, one-half dram SIM
pie tincture of benzoin.
Lip Salve-Melt one ounce Sper-
maceti and one-half ounce white wax
in two ounces olive oil. Remove from
fire and beat with an eggbeater until
cool. Then beat in four drops of oil of
rose -geranium and two drops cochineal.

He teases and torments the sleepy
owl, who is foolish enough to show his
abject fear of the jay. This is great
weakness on his part, as it tends only
to urge his tormentor on. Seeing a
flock of small birds, he gives the whis-
ting scream Of the red-shouldered
hawk. The birds are thrown into a
panic and their tormentor rushes off
with a guffaw and seeks another form

Like ne owned the premises.
BRIGADIER GENERAL Is not
~ more impresSively arrayed than
Il is the handsome and versatile
4 \ blue jay. Besides being ven-
triloquist of note, he is a clever
mimic, humorist, a planter of for
ests and clown. What more distinc-
ton need he claim as an unusual bird
AS I have said, he is a handsome
bird He has finely crested head,
the crown, including the crest, hind
neck, back, shoulders, rump and upper
wing coverts are a lovely grayish-blue
while his head, chin and throat are a
blueish-gray. A handsome black collar
is about his neck. The greater wing
coverts ss we'll as the secondaries and
tail feathers are a deep azure blue,
broadly tipped with white, except the
two middle quills, and are barred with
black His breast and sides are smoke
gray. His eyes are bright and his beak
is very sharp.
AS a building constructor he is a
failure. He seems to have little pride
in his work. The home is made OF
leaves, bark strips and rags. HIS
domicile looks like a shack. In this
shanty his spouse places from three to
six dull, olive-greenish, spotted eggs
The nest is built in conifers.
The children resemble their parents,
but are not as brightly garbed. This,
however, is for their protection while
they are helpless. Blue jays are per-
manent residents and only migrate
when the food supply runs low. They
are fond of eggs and rob nests both
of their eggs and babies. While hunt
ing for food for his hungry offspring
the bird is a most quiet fellow. After

OUR CHILDREN
By ANGELO PATRI.
Breaking a Ha bit.


TRY as We may, children form
habits that must be broken.
They discover, for example, that
L by making scene at bedtime
they profit. They gain time;
they gain attention; they dominate the
household. Sometimes they choose the
mealtime for their demonstrations
They won't eat at all, or they insist
upon one person feeding them, or they
have crying spell. In any event they
upset the family and make life miser-
able for everybody, themselves included.
Something has to be done to break
up this habit" mother declares and
father heartily agrees that something
ought to be dcne at once. But what?
Spanking doesn't help. Scolding is so
much fuel to the fame They don't
mind going without meal If they get
satisfaction out of the disturbance they
cause Nothing seems to affect them.
The very best way to set about
breaking up an old habit and establish
ing new one is to change the scene.
You see, habit depends great deal on
the familiar scene. Your own house,
your own room, your own service, your
own people, force you into the old rou-
tine. Your coffee Is waiting, SO you
drink it. The car is ready and you
step into it. So on all day. But II you
found yourself in foreign land all the
old habits would have to go by the
board and you would havesto establish
new ones. And you would.
Associations are the food OF habit.
The place where the deed was first &C
complished. the people who were there,
their actions and voices, all are blend
ed into this action this habit. Just as
soon as the child sees the place, the
person, the object hears the voice Of
the person associated in this habit, the
process starts and the habit is in full
swing The absence of the associations
will delay the recall Of the idea. A
few delays, a few omissions of the per-
! formance and the habit is weakened. A
prolonged omission and the habit is
about finished. About. 1t is rarely
| quite dead. A strong revival of rou-
tine, a strong Stimulus from the asso-
Citations, and it rises to life.
If you want to change child's
habits, change his environment his as
SociationS, the cultural qualities in
| which his habits were set, and you have
coed chance of succeeding. That is
why we send spoiled child to good
| boarding school. That is why camps
| help to overcome a child'S weakness.
That is why long visit to an under
| standing relative helps child who
was unhappy at home. That is why
| we send children to the hospitals for
observation and training. We want to
! give them new start.
You have always believed in fresh
| start You were always right. Set the
stage for fresh beginning and do all
you can to avoid the old associations,
| do all IN your power to cause the child
| to forget the old days, and there Is a
strong chance ycu will succeed.
1t is a mistake to correct a child and
! then send him back to the old routine,
in the same old way, expecting him to
charge. The habit was set by practice
and sustained by associations. Inter-
rupt the practice and change the asso-
Citations, and the child will forget the
past in the fresh beginning

need plenty of water and light. Direct
sunlight is not necessary. 1t is wise to
let the plants rest somewhat In the Fall,
If you have them the year round, but
in November, or whenever extra bios
SONS are wanted, stimulate the plant
with fertilizer.
Cyclamen thrive in cool room and
require great deal of moisture. After
the Christmas blooms have lost their
beauty pull them off. Keep in humid
atmosphere and the plant will continue
to send up blossoms for long time.
The Christmas or Jerusalem cherry Is
a popular Christmas plant. To carry
it over for another year prune it to the
desired shape and plant in ground and
let it remain until middle of Septem-
Der. Then it should be taken up and
potted in good soil. If aphiS appear
sprinkle with nicotine solution.
Christmas cactus may be mass Of
scarlet bloom during the Winter If
planted in a soil made up one part sand
and two parts of rich garden loan.
There should be good drainage. 1t
should have plenty of sunlight. Slips
may be started easily from it.

TT is some time since we have con-
sidered this semi-print style OF
writing This s?mple was particlI-
/ larly interesting because OF the
elaboration of the c,pitals. AS In
the W. shown, they are not true
printed letters, but have softening lines
that give them the appearance OF script
This combination of two modes OF oe-
havior may be chara cteriStic of her en-
tire manner of living. Though she may
sincerely believe that she is hard and
cynical, there are probably many OF
her actions that completely belle this
attitude, painting her instead as rather
g. sentimentalist. We should prob by
find this demonstrated in the furnish
ings Of her home. Though she may
chiefly adhere to a very modern sim
p.icity, there are, perhaps, many httle
cmbellist ments that she could not re-
sist adding.
We should expect her to be especially
interested in the drama. 1t would not
cnly appeal to her as an amusement
but she would enjoy the cultural de-
velopment received from its study. In
this instance she would perhaps be a
little old-fashioned, preferring the mas
terpieces of the older schools to the
present-day realistic type of plays: She
probably thoroughly enjoys a wide So
Cial life. Personal contact with charm
ing. intellectual people would be one OF
her chief pleasures. 1t would also allow
her a good medium for self expression,
as her keen mind and original ideas
would appeal to a really intelligent
group
Her greatest difficulty perhaps is in
allowing herself to become too keyed up
over anv situation She is probably
high-Strung, for this reason becoming
easily excited This nervous tension
would be detrin entail to her health,
cauving her at times to be irritable and
easily tired.

DEMOCRATS SURE
OF WINNING OHIO
Hoover Conceded Gains, but
Not Enough to Swing
State to G. 0.P.
BY ]. H. GALBRAITH.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 22-An
increase in the strength of President
Hoover is plainly discernible here fol-
lowing his recent speeches but by no
means sufficient to change TIE political
aspect in the State. Ohio will elect
Roosevelt and Garner presidential elec-
tors next month by q majority meas
uring well up with the greatest the
State ever gave any candidates. Ohio
may be so listed in any estimate of
the national election result, with perfect
confidence.
In fact it begins now to look as
though the Democrats would lake a
clean sweep of the State on both Fed
eral and State tickets Hitherto on the
governorship, David S. ingalls,, the Re-
publican candidate, has appeared to
have the edge on Gov. White. Demo-
cratic, and he still seems to nave ad-
vantage over the incumbent, but IN
gals percentage Of the votes in all the
prediction tests is shown to be gradu-
ally decreasing.
Senator Robert J. Bulkley will surely
be reelected over Attorney General
Bettman. the Republican candidate
Every sounding OF political sentiment
as to this Office shows Bulkley to be
leading Bettman in the ratio of five
to three
Ohio Democratic leaders are claim
ing with confidence that the State will
send a Democratic gain to the new
lower House. They claim that the new
Ohio delegation will have not less than
13 Democratic members. The delega-
ton will have "a members. As the
State was not redistricted the two ad-
ditional members must be elected at
large. On the face of the political situ-
alton in the State the Democratic con-
gressional claims would not seem to be
without some warrant.
