indictments have been returned by
the grand jury Of the District Of Co.

rioters. The results Of this effort to
bring to justice the principals who in
cited this riot have been unsatisfac-
tory. The reason is that on the day of
the riot no detective officers were at
Camp Marks. where originated the large
movement to march over and attack the
police. The function Of having detec-
tives and crime prevention agents In a
position to observe and obtain evidence
against those who at the last moment
melted the riotous march and attack
belonged to the District police. The in
Spector in charge of that branch of the
police service reports that he had no
orders to place men for that purpose.

the disturbance was directed to keep his

The Rhymins
Optimist

In Each Mans Breast
There is something better in
each mans breast
Than the deeds he does or
the words he speaks;
Something urges him still on
the nameleSs quest
For the road to the unknown
goal he seeks.
It stirs in his blood when the
way is hard;
It lends of its strength when
his own ebbS fast:
It's vision fingers, unstained,
unmared,
After dreams Of triumph and
love have passed.
It is something sent him from
realms afar;
It echoes the music Of other
spheres;
It IS steadfast and true as the
white pole-star
And it knows no waning
throughout the years.
There is something splendid in
each mans heart
Which goes unscathed through
the wrecks of time.
Some sacred pilgrim dwells
there, apart,
To prove mans kinship with
things divine.

For Women's Hats

Women's hats have been keep

est trends-yet you won't no
tice any dizzy alterations in
silhouette. They're worn more
tilted, yes-they'd have to be
to keep in line. And the feel
ing is all from back to front,
but they don't take off from a
point quite as high on the head
as hats for the debutante age.
They hold more sophisticated
balance. And, above all, they're
easy to wear.
Never Hysterical
Crowns in women's hats are
slightly deeper. And brims
aren't quite as coy-they dip
without plunging, and they roll
without climbing. And the
trimming is never hysterical.
Everything about women's hats
this spring, in other words, is
moderate. Not that they haven't
grasped all the latest fashion
points. They have, but applied
them with such discretion that
women past the thirties will
find that hats designed for
them are more wearable than.
ever. Take a look at the four
we've illustrated and be as
sured how stunning they are,
too.
DOwn-Turned All Around
The first one at the left is a
thoroughly sophisticated cloche.
A round, well-fitting crown and
the down-turned brim that's as
flattering as it is fashionable.
The brim is slightly irregular,
too, to prove it belongs to 1882,
and it dips becomingly beyond
the right eye. Clever how the
crown band accentuates the
dip, the way it's caught down
where the hat starts to slant.
It goes into a bow in back
this band of angelSkin satin
ribbon. The hat straw is shiny
and roughly woven-in fact, it's
called rough racetto.
Women Too Like the Sailors
We've tched another
brimmed hat at the right
above to prove how up-to-the-
minute-up-to-t h e-very-last-min-
ute-these hats for women are.
For here's a sailor-that type
that's leading spring hat fash
ions. Very definitely a sailor,
that is, square crown and all,
even though ribbon bows insist
that the brim be turned up
in back bit. These bows con-
trast, for they're part Of the
twocolor angel-skin crown band.

Words and

those who are in trouble.
Just a lot of SHAM" are
you, murmuring meaningless
phrases?
Willing to talk Sympathet-
ically so long as nothing is re.
quired Of you.
When it comes to backing up
words by actions you beg to
be excused.
The world needs genuine
syrnpathy-real heart throbs Of
helpfulness.
If your heart is reached you
are going to do something.
If your emotions are stirred
it may pass for sympathy but
unless it is translated into help
full action the emotion stirred
has weakened you.
Mere emotion is a hollow
kind Of sympathy.
A transient grief is a surface
affectation.
The one who really goes
down into the depths with
you is going to make an at
tempt to right things for you.
He may not be able to give
you money or make up for
your domestic losses, but he is
going to try to think of some
way to tighten your burden
if he is in earnest in his SYM

Forty thanks goodness she isn't

but the ticking of the clock?
Doesn't mean a thing If a
woman toes the beauty mark,
keeps her figger, doesn't let
the face set Seamy. No mem
ber Of the sisterhood can af-
ford to go to seed, and that's
why beauty fads and beauty
treatments continue to form a
large part Of feminine conver-
Sation. To be good friends
with that woman in the look
ing glass is to find life zestful.
Coiffures assume all manner
Of designs. One can choose
between the middle parting,

head a waved bang and look
piquant. The requirements are
a loose, natural wave, a fairly
close arrangement, and neat
ness. No scrambled effects any
more, the d-blown being as
dead as Julius Caesar, and the
crimpy permanent entirely out
of the modern picture.
Some Of the blond gals with
china blue eyes and fair COM
plexion still believe in the
legend that blond requires a
flesh-colored powder. All wrong.
In every healthy complexion
there is a shade of ivory. A
new orchid powder set off the
white-haired darlings; and the
woman with black hair, black
eyes and fair skin is set up in
fine shape when she lays upon
her celestial face a powder that
contains a trace Of green.

Spades are trumps. Y is to
lead. How many tricks can
w make against the best play
Of ABB?
First, Y must lay down both
of his high trumps, to prevent
A from ruffing. Upon those
two trumpS leads 2 must dis
card his two top hearts. What
defense can B make? He must
discard two cards of some sort.
He cannot let go even one club
without giving w three club
tricks. B cannot let go more
than one heart without giving
Y two tricks in that suit. He
needs to protect his diamonds.
AS a matter Of fact B will
make things most difficult for
w by discarding his two low
est hearts upon Y's spade leads.
Y's third and fourth tricks will
then be the Queen and Nine Of
Hearts, upon these two cards
B had best let go his last heart
and his Jack Of Clubs. z must
also make two discards; these
will be the King Of Clubs and
the Two Of Diamonds. The
fifth and sixth tricks will be
won by Y'S Ten Of Diamonds
and Z'S Jack of Diamonds. The
seventh and eighth tricks will
be won by rs Ace Of Clubs
and Y's Ten of Clubs. The
ninth and tenth tricks must
go to rs Queen of Diamonds
and his Ace Of Diamonds.
The answer to the problem is
that w can win all ten tricks
against any defense possible for
ABB to make. The hand may
be played in numerous ways, &C
cording to what B decides to
discard, but the best defense is
as given above. Having z dis
card his two top hearts and then
discard his K Of clubs will not
be thought Of readily by most
solverS.
It is better always to have
another player take charge Of
the two hands acting on the de-
fenSive. Comparatively few
players can put up the best pos
Sible defense against themselves.
PROBLEM IL
Spades are trumpS. A is to
lead. How many tricks can
ABB win against the best defense
of w? The answer will be
given next week.

Your Health

Diet

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, MD.
The secretion of any gland
may be too much or too little.
In the case of glands with
ducts pouring their secretion
into a body cavity, these de-
rangements are more or less
easily taken care of. In the
case of the ductless glands,
such as the thyroid, the condi-
tions must be suspected from
the symptoms. The conditions
we have been considering this
week are those Of increase in
thyroid secretion, with or with
out increase in the size of the
gland.
But the thyroid can also fail
to secrete enough Of its char
acteristic secretion. This may
occur either in infancy or
come gradually during adult
life. In the first case it is
called cretinism, and in the
second, myxoedema.
Cretinism may be present at
birth, especially in children
born of parents who live in
a goitrous district. In some
parts of Switzerland cretinS
are very common. The thyroid
gland in these children is com"
pletely atrophied. It is prob
ably due to lack Of iodine in
the mothers food. The chill
dren are stunted in growth,
mentally stupid to the point
Of idiocy, and deformed.
Treatment, by feeding the
child thyroid extract, is fairly
successful in promoting growth
and stimulating the mental
powers.
To be successful, however, it
must be begun early in life.
The diagnosis must be made
before the end Of the second
year. The condition may be
suspected when a baby is ex.
tremely heavy at birth-over
nine pounds.
Few normal babies weigh
more than nine pounds at
birth-when you hear proud
parent boasting Of an eleven
pound baby, look out. The
cretinous baby is backward in
intelligence, late in sitting up
and walking, has a coarse skin
and delayed dentition.
MyXoedema, the form Of
deficient secretion of the thy
roid, which appears in adult
life, affects mostly women. 1t
comes on gradually, usually
after the end Of the change
Of life, and so slowly that the
patient or friends are hardly
aware of its existence. The
patient becomes drowSy and
Indifferent, taking less and less
interest in things around her.
The weight increases with q
peculiar thickenihg of the skin.
The hair is likely to fall out
and become coarse. The patient
complains of being cold. There
is a yellowiSh muddinesS Of the
complexion.
There are few diseases in
which the diagnosis is so fre-
quently missed. One case re-
Gently brought to my attention
had been treated in a sani-
tarium for melancholia over q
year. Another, on account of
the complexion which was mis-
taken for jaundice, was advised
to have the gall bladder re-
moved. Frequently such cases
are suspected of having per-
nicious anemia, and, because it
is a disease of latter life and
kidney changes may also be
present, of Bright's disease.
T. is unfortunate that this is
SO because so much can be done
for these patients by treat
1nent, which consists Of feed
ing them thyroid extract. An
entire change in personality
may result-the patient loses
weight, the hair comes back,
the skin clears up, and mental
interest in things is reawak-

Something blue, something

is made on princess lines entire
ly of magnificent pale blue lace
and is worn with a matching
blue tulle veil.
Going to college are many
little suits done in blue woolen.
Typical of a college girls
wardrobe, is a suit in West
Point blue. The coat has 81
separate scarf cravat of white
galyak and the double-breasted
detail is marked by nickel but
tons.
Gray clouds are grand when it
means that gray is a popular
color for frocks. A delightful
afternoon frock is fashioned Of
gray crepe with a yoke and
wide flower appliques of match
ing georgette. The front Of
the frock is marked by sun
burst pleating.
It is easy to be patriotic this
year, for the tricolor scheme is
every where emphasized. A
charming little frock is of blue
wooden, with a cape and lower
bodice section in red woolen.
The top Of the bodice is white
silk and there is a tricolor
scarf attached.

Importance for spring. A sports

Prom Tickets

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am to be graduated from
high school in June, and a
question arises concerning our
school prom. Would it be
correct, providing that nobody
from school invites me, to ask
some young man out Of school
to take me to the Prom? And
in that case, am I to pay for
his bid, or is he to pay for
it himself? HOME GIRL.
Unless the rules of the school
forbid your inviting an out
slider to the Prom, this would
be correct. And, if you do in

pay for both tickets. This is

are extending.

Wedding Dinner
,er NErc RooolxY1oon.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Your column has interested
and helped me for some time,
and now I have some problems
perplexing me. I am to have a
formal church wedding, but due
to the fact that we wish to
have the cost as low as possible,
we have planned to have only
a dinner for our immediate
families and the wedding party.
/. Is this correct?
2. Should I wear my wedding
dress and veil to dinner, or
change to my travelling
costume?
3. Is it possible for the bride
and groom to leave early, or
must they remain until dinner
is completely over?
4. When and where is the
rehearsal held. and who pre-
sides over it? The wedding is
to be held in a. Protestant
church.
/. Yes, this plan is perfectly
correct.
2. If the dinner is to be given
in the public dining-room of
the hotel, then it is best for
you to change to your travelling
costume, since the wedding re-
gala is too conspicuous. But
you will probably be able to
make arrangements with the
hotel management to have your
dinner in a private dining-room
of the hotel, and then you can
have the joy of wearing your
bridal costume during the
dinner.
8. 1t is not necessary for the
bride and groom to stay until
the dinner is over. They may
leave whenever they wish, after,
say, the main course.
4. The rehearsal is usually
held the day, usually the eve.
ming, before the wedding is to
be held. Or it may be before
that, if the bride and her fam
lily wish and if this is conven-
lent for the members of the
