MALTA HONORS
EXPLAINED

The puzzle attending award Of
the Cross of Malta to 10 firemen
and II policemen at ceremonies
prior to the Police-Firemen base
ball game Saturday in Griffith
Stadium was solved today.
Maj. Gen. George H. V. Nose
ley, deputy chief of staff, who
will make the award, sent an
officer to ascertain what the
decoration was in order to pre-
pare a brief speech. The officer
interviewed a number of Off
cials at the District Building
who confessed ignorance concern
ing the award. The officer met
with more ignorance when he
called upon officials at Police
Headquarters.
The puzzle was created by a
statement in connection with the
announcement that the decoration
is issued under authority of an
Act of Congress" of 1899. A
search of statutes failed to un-
cover the act.
After lengthy research it was
discovered that the Cross of Malta
is merely the insignia of the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars, having it's
inception from the decorative
cross worn by the crusaders at the
walls of Jerusalem. Any member
of the V. F. w. is eligible to wear
the decoration. The 10 firemen
and II policemen who are to re-
ceive the cross are members of the

Oysters Home
Has None Of
Its Own

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Sept. g.
Strange as it seems, Annapolis
is importing oysters.
Known as a center of the
oyster industry, from which
thousands of gallons of oysters
are shipped each year, Annap-
oils is without oysters of her
own.
Oystermen say the weather
has been too warm and is still
too warm for them to go
a-dredging in local waters.
Hence the first of the "'R"
months found Annapolis with
out an oyster of her own.
Dredging will not begin here
until the end of the month.

the board of commissioners of
Prince Georges county to clean

it was learned today, revealing a
serious fire hazard which on
Tuesday almost resulted in big
fire.
Firemen say that under steps
leading to the cellar is rubbish

started in the rubbish heap Tues
day and was discovered just be-

Had it done so, the firemen said,

 Paris.-The fall showings prove that the genius of French creators has been put to a severe test this season.
 Difficult business conditions have made buyers very critical but the Parisian couture was prepared for this and the result is that this period will probably be known as one combining the greatest ingen- uity in presenting fashions at once new and ingenious, but lacking the ostentation of past prosperous years.
 That chic can be achieved with out the adjunction of masses of fur trimming is being very clev- erly demonstrated in the more practical street clothes. Even in the more formal models, if fur is not spared, 1t is used to the very best advantage and made to give maximum results with what previ- ously would have been considered minimum volume.
 The Directoire, or princess line, seems firmly established. Redfern sponsors it almost exclusively throughout his collections. Nearly all his models are devoid of belts, and fit the figure to the hipline with fitness introduced very grad ually to the hemline. Skirts here, in fact, are shade narrower and shorter than last sea- son, the scant fulness assuming the form of pleats and inserted godets rather than relying on the bias cut.
 Wider Shoulder Lines A great deal of attention, on the other hand, has been bestowed on

often has strained vegetable soup as first course. From now on he will get a small portion of cod dled egg - just little to begin with - as change from the soup. In a month or so, as soon as he seems to be ready for it, we shall start him on vegetable pulp and later add baked potato, liver and scraped beef. But John is not a specially large baby, so I don't think he will need these last foods until he is nine or ten months old. He has plenty of variety at pres ent.
 Since his teeth are coming through quite fast now, one of the things he enjoys most is bit o1 l crisp, brown toast which he suck, and nibbles before one feeding each day. This is good for hi' gums.
 Mrs Johnson has always consult. ed me before giving John any new kind of food because she knows that babies differ so much that fl is impossible to make hard and fast rules about their dietary needs. There's really only one gen. eral rule, and that is that each ad- ditional article of food should be given first in small amounts = about a teaspoonful - and in- creased gradually.
 Thanks to the trouble his mother goes to in regulating and adding to his diet. Baby John is likely to grow into a strong, healthy tod dler. And since he is learning to accept new kinds of food readily. he is not likely to be fussy and finnicky later on.

 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
@I05S eY NEA SERVICE INC:

Starting forth for an evenings entertainment, every girl should be equipped with beauty.
 This season there are huge, flat pancake vanities that are equipped to hold your favorite powder.
 Some of these hold beautiful. the type all French women love to use and nobody could be more care full of her beauty than a French woman.
 If you don't have this type of vanity, you may prefer to have your fluffy powder puff in its own container, a flat evening one. This is possible this year, too, for there are many evening vanities and these include a wide variety o1 evening puffs.
 Of course you need a comb foi evening. Preferably one of those little fine-toothed ones, and this year there is great vogue for tor toise shell frames, with your mon- ogram in gold on them.
 You can get evening vanitfes that give you powder. a comb and rouge all in one, the comb slip ing into its niche at the top of the vanity. If you can't afford a tor toise shell comb or prefer some thing else, there are the cutest lit- tie combs in their colorful cases to be had. Some of these are made of grosgain ribbon in evening shades, others of fine leather in light tones.
 The wide variety of enamelled evening vanities this year leaves no one in doubt as to their, vogue. There is a trick little finger ring combination of vanity with pow der and rouge on one end and q lipstick on the other. You can slip the ring on or just drop it in- to your evening purse. The two beauty gadgets are attached to 1t by slender silver chains.
 Whatever evening beauty access sories you take with you. just re- member that you must repair your makeup ever and anon. No one makeup can stand the strain Of dancing and dining all evening.

Baby John Has a Varied Diet

Baby John Has Varied Diet
 For young man of seven months John Johnson is quite 2 philosopher. He is learning the Johnson habit of taking things just as they come without making a fuss.
 Last Sunday as a special treat Robert had coddled egg for lunch, since he was still convales- cent from his sore throat, so l suggested that when Johns two o'clock feeding came along he, too, should have a coddled egg - or rather part of one. At two o'clock, therefore, when a very hungry John lay on his mothers lap, instead of the familiar milk or strained vegetable juice he fell something strange in his mouth He had never tasted egg before whether he liked 1t or not! His eyes opened wide with surprise and then puckered up as if he were go. ing to cry, but before he could make up his mind the strange taste had gone and the familiar taste of milk had taken its place And the dreamy, contented look in his eyes seemed to say, After all why make a fuss when everything turns out all right in the end ?'
 Mrs Johnson is saving herself endless trouble later on by accus- toming Baby John to a variety or food. Milk, of course, is his main food and will be for some months to come. Mrs Johnson is still nursing him herself, but he is get ting one bottle day and this month, following my advice, Mrs Johnson is going to begin weaning him. Little by little he will be given more cows milk and less of his mothers. Then. too, ever since his early babyhood he has been having cod-liver oil and orange juice or vegetable juices, to protect him from rickets and to provide him with necessary vitamins. But during the past few months Mrs Johnson has been adding other items to his daily menu.
 At his ten o'clock feeding in the he has a spoonful or so of strained cereal with milk. He has his own little cereal saucer and silver spoon, which Aunt Eliz- abeth gave him this summer, and he thoroughly enjoys his ten o'clock breakfast.

 The third shot did not loosen spurt of dust and Dona felt the roam falter. Her heart beat wildly and anger blinded her as her horse lurched to one side. The man be- hind her had wounded the roan.

 Dona swung one leg loose but could not free the other. The roan hit the ground and rolled over. A screaming pain shot through her right side, then a swirling black ness swept over her and all was still and blank.

YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton

What happens when little child is treated like helpless baa lamb through his early years, say up to six, and has never known anything but the soft kindly ways of his parents?
 Why the wolves will get him If we don't watch out.
 What kind of wolves? Why several kinds. One is the group of rough. and tumble little skala- wags he will have to play with will want to pay with-when he starts to school. Born teasers and maulers most little fellows are.
 Another type of wolf waiting for the little lamb is the small &C., cident, the bump, bruise, or cut that seems to be part of a chaps everyday life after he gets off the front porch and away from his mothers watchful eye.
 There are other kinds of things also in the dark woods of experi- ence he will have to travel thruogh that will be jumping out at him and Frightening him, unless he has been prepared to deal with these bogies and stand his ground bravely.
 Youngsters Need Toughening
 The best thing a mother or a father can do for child, either a boy or girl, but particularly for a boy, is to toughen him up bit before he leaves home.
 This toughening process is bet ter coming from those he loves at first. And there should be a good della of fun and laughing about it.
 The father who plays rough games with his small son is doing a good act. Those games should not be too rough, of course, but if the child gets bumped @ bit, or pulled about, towseled, hot and breathless, finds himself standing on his head in a corner, or in baxing match gets a smart slap that stings, 1t is not going to hurt him a bit. In fact it is the best thing that could happen to train him to associate with other boys who will expect him to be good sport and take a certain amount of mauling with a grin.
 The father must smile good na- turedly and teach his son to smile as they play. And he should not put any premium on tears or W WAAhSo oA SoAhPAeAAhSos
 In slang it means ito take 1t on the chin."
 Training Pays Dividends
 Too many children are turned out to mix with other children in school, who are still nursery cod dlings. It is better to have the sportsmanship in them developed at home than to have it thrust on them by ruthless little strangers who will soon discover if new pupil is "mama's boy" and thereafter make his life miser- able.
 Another thing his parents can train into him is not to tell, and not to run to them with tales of abuse. Let him learn to takes his own part and earn the respect of others.
 Occasionally in rough neigh borhood a child is really mistreat- ed and imposed upon by other chill dren. These things should be not ! ed and righted. I don't believe in l that at all. But sportsmanship | should be begun at home and the | habit of keeping back tears and smiling a grim little smile when | things go wrong, If encouraged. pays nice dividends.
