Washington ashions
By WILMA LAvILLE

Now that we have had a few
warm days, with enough women
buying and wearing new hats
for us to come to a decision, we
can report with more authority
on hat fashions for the rest OF
the Spring season, and for early
Summer. There are two things
outstanding. brimS. and the use
of soft. pliable Straws or other
materials. Hats have shape, but
are casual in their softneSS and
the way they shape themselves
to your head. They are more
sportSlike than they have been
for some time, as this Summer
will be a decidedly sport sea-
son as far as clothes are con-
cerned. This Is due to the fact
that women are so much more
interested in active sports than
ever before. and are dressing &C
cordingly. except for formal oc-
caSlonS.
All Hats Tilt
Street hats haven't changed, of
course, but the majority OF
women have already bought a
hat to wear with suits and coats,
so we are concerned mainly with
hats to wear with sports and
tailored clothes. Brims are so
prevalent that they almost seem
a necessity. They are narrow.
usually not more than 2 inches
wide, and nearly always flared
up on the left side and down
on the right, giving the hat a
very tilted expression. This is
called the silhouette" line, as it
very definitely determines the
silhouette of your head.
Straw With Wool
Straw is mixed with wool or
angora in any Of the in
credibly soft, pliable weaves,
and you will also find the hats
of wool, or angora or other
fabrics popular too. Sometimes
rough, shiny straw is plated
with Wooly threads, making a
very smart combination of dull
ness and gloss.
Most of these hats come in
all colors, both light and dark,
so you can choose them for
each costume and prices are
low enough so you can afford
a hat for every two or three
costumes, if not for every one.
We have sketched two very
smart examples of the new
types. One, with the ribbon
running across the crown is

HOW TO TREAT
ECZEMA AND
ITCHING SKIN

What every sufferer wants is
quick relief from the terrible itch
ing that almost drives them mad.
Nothing acts more quickly than
Petersons ointment when rubbed
thoroughly into the skin. Many
times all itching disappears over
night.
AS a remedy to Danish eczema
and to rid the skin of pimples.
blotches. and eruptions Peterson's
ointment has been in great demand
for many years-its mighty healing
power is marvellous.
A South Dakota woman writes: u
have found nothing so good for
itching skin and insect bites as
Peterson's Ointment.
An Iowa woman writes: 1T is the
only Ointment that helps control
my Eczema" and from the State of
Washington another woman writes:

that will cure eczema"

large numbers may go into the diges-
tive canal when they are eaten It Il
possible, however. for such food as
lettuce or other greens which are eaten
raw to carry into the intestines enough
bacteria to cause trouble Not long
ago several of the staff at large hos
pital were i'll and the cause was traced
by the process Of elimination to salad
for which the lettuce had not been
properly washed. One Of the best pro-
tections from ptomaine is absolute
cleanliness in the handling of all food.
Food may not chow any signs of
infection, although, of course. any odor
from protein food is a danger signal
We more often hear of ptcmaine being
caused by dishes made from left-ovei.
meat or from fish or mesS which he's
not been kept cool and clean until it is
cooked. Every once in while we ali
hear of family or group being made
Ill by eating ice cream or cream puffs.
Both of these foods are made from
milk and eggs, which if not carefully
handled 0. allowed to get stale (after
infection) are fertile fields for the
growth of bacteria
Outbreaks of ptomaine poisoning used
to be much more common than they
are now, because meats were not in

spected carefully. Cattle afiicted with
Intestinal disease were then eften
slaughtered and offered for food. At
present ptomaine is more likely to be
caused by improper care and handling
of food. A warm, moist temperature
hastens the growth Of bacteria, and
f-r this reason we hear of more cases
in Summer than at any other time.
The housekeeper can prevent. almost
entirely, the occurrence Of ptomaine in
her household By making sure that all
the food Used in her household is ham
died in cleanly way; that meats. fish,
milk and made dishes Of milk and eggs
are kept coil and are used within a
reasonable time after they are pur-
chased and cooked. While high
enough temperature Will kill the bac-
terra if they are already present on
foods. cooking will not prevent other
bacteria from affecting focd. Be sure
that all foods which are to be eaten

place and well washed In the second
place.

Great care is now taken in packing

little danger Of such ptonaine poison

housekeeper must take the responsible
ity, however. of using them soon after
they are opened CT Of keeping them

cred for 80 minutes, veal, pork, 40 min
utes. Remove cover and continue the
baking for Is minutes for lamb and 40
minutes for veal or pork. This length
of time Is somewhat flexible rs the
thickness OF the meat determines the
time allowance, q chunk requiring more
time than o longer strip not so thick.
The flavor of this cooking Is like that
Of larger roast, and Is preferable to
browning the meat In q pan on top Of
the stove first in order to keep in the
juices.
Beef is more difficult to roast sue
cessfully In small sizes than either pork
lamb or veal Sometimes 1t is possible
to get tender chunk which Is not the
tenderloin. This latter cut is apt to
be dry as 1t has not the fat to keep
dripping over the sides and permeating
through the meat as is desirable. Get
the butcher to tie or skewer strip of
best beef fat on top of the chunk of
tenderloin, If this is selected. Or see
that the chunk or rump or other good
cut of roasting beef has layer of fat
on one side. Keep this side up with
care when the beef is roasting. Have
the oven very hot, 450 degrees, when
the meat goes in. After 10 minutes re-
duce the heat somewhat. Continue to
cook uncovered and without basting
until the meat is done. Rare beef
should be done with time allowance
Of 10 minutes to the pound.
When roast is not entirely eaten at
the first meal it can be served cold for
another dinner, supper or luncheon in
households where cold meat is we'll
liked, as is often found the case. Lit
tie hunks of the meat of one kind or
more can be Drowned in a pan having
very hot butter in it or any good but
ter substitute. Remove the meat
pieces when they are Drowned on all
sides. Add more butter and in it fry
a good sized onion. Remove pieces
when Drowned. Add one tablespoonful
-four and brown in the fat without
scorching it, which ruins the flavor.
Add three-fourths cupful of soup stock,
or water, or strained tomato Juice, STIR
ring rapidly until thickened, season
with salt, pepper and celery salt. Re-
turn meat and onion. Cover the pan
and simmer slowly for Is minutes.
Rim platter or other fiat serving
dish with mashed potato roses or un-
even spoonfuls Of mashed potato Brush
the top with white of egg Put under
gas flame just long enough to brown
the top delicately. Fill the center of
platter with the prepared meat. Dot
the surface with little sprigs of parsley
and serve Immediately. This is deli
cious preparation of leftover bits of
meat.

all kinds of mischief. He discovered
new ways of being troublesome. New

Harry seemed to consider this for a
time and his mother thought she had
made an impression upon his mind and
that he would behave a little better.
But she changed her mind about all
that when the cook brought Harry into
her presence and charged him with
breaking every egg in the pantry and
smearing the place with the mess. Just
for fun, did it." said he.
''Very well. You get nothing Tor

ing came all the presents were ready
and Harry enjoyed them to the full

BY and by his birthday approached
and he began the same wild antics.
Now look here. young man. If you
don't behave yourself you'll get moth

Harry forgot all caution. Huh. You
said that about last birthday and l got
all my presents. And you said 1t at

Well, that time his mother held out
and he got no presents. A sad little
boy went to bed that birthday night;

many places tried to find out
new things about the magic power"
An Englishman named Stephen Gray
wanted to learn whether or not elec-
tricity would pass through the body or
a human being, and made this odd
trial:
A boy was placed In loops Of heavy
silk fastened to thes ceiling OF room.
A glass tube was rubbed with silk, and
was then placed against the boys foot.
Another person touched one of the
boys hands and received a shock!
A trial of much the same kind was
made in France. A man named Du
Fay caused himself to be hung from
the ceiling with silk cords. Then he
touched glass globe, which had been
well rubbed against cloth. At the
same moment, a friend touched Du
Fay's leg. and loi there was spark
between leg and finger!
In ordinary cases, electricity which
enters the body of a person will be
grounded" In other words, it will
pass to earth. The use of silk to hold
persons free In the air, prevented the
grounding of the electricity.
