Canapes are tiny individual ap- petizers to serve at the beginning of dinner or formal luncheon Usually they take the place of a fruit cocktail or soup.

An ice water tie-up helps to eradicate lines and wrinkles and Is a splendid remery for a sagging chin.
 The cold water itself Is helpful to dry or oily skin since it neither removes 'nor replaces facial oil. = is merely a stimulant and muse.e tightener.
 The better beauty salons give ice water tie-ups in conjunction with their facial treatments. There's no reason why you can't give yourself at least one a week right at home.
 Clean your face and neck with cleansing cream. Wipe off all dirt. Apply a thick nourishing cream and pat the skin until It tingles ali over. Wipe it off and put on either a skin tonic or Q mild astringent. Then you are ready for the ice-water tie-up. Dip several large pieces of cot ton in ice water. One of the pieces should have a large hole in it.. That piece goes across your mouth. If you feel that you must sec, put two smaller holes in another piece which is to go across your eyes. However, 1t Is better to keep the eyes covered 50 that they, too, may derive full benefit from the cold cotton mask. Be sure and
 look pleasant while you are "set1 ting" your face in this manner. Put one piece across your fore head and another around your | throat. Cover every inch of your face and neck with the cold pads.
 Then take a long strip of gauge about five inches wide-and place 1t under your chin. Bring the ends up to the top of your
 head and tie them firmly. Rub the several minutes and then lie down to relax. Don't remove the mask
 until 1t is warm.

Brains

Dr. Lewis E. Drake, psychologist of the University of "TSeonsin, says that as far as he can see. human intelligence has increased very little, if at all. in the last 10000 years It is important to understand just what he means by intelligence. He does not mean culture or learning. but ability to acquire new responses or knowledge and 10 apply the knowledge obtained to new situations in an efficient manner. In short the intelligent man is one who learns readily and makes practical use of his learning.
 By this standard, he thinks the cave men were not SO far behind us as we imagine If they learned slowly, we have to remem- Der that they started almost from scratch as human beings. When they got tools for their hands. and words, which are tools for ourselves. in their places with our bralns the mind they made rapid progress. We might not have advanced any more rapidly than they did. accomplished any more, or lived any more ratonalIy. A group of them born into our present day civilization might do as well as we do.
 Intelligence depends somewhat on the size of the brain. Late eave-man brains, says Professor Drake, were nearly as large as ours The brains of the Cromagnon man who lived in Europe 25,000 to 5O,00O years ago were d little larger than ours. lie was better artist than our average today. His brain-power seems to have been used in pictures in stead of golf, bridge, jlgsaw pug Zles and detective stories. It may be an open question whether he was our inferior. It doesn't seem likely that he ever got him self into an economic jam like ours.

Chicago Cleans Up

Chicago is polishing up for inc big fair. to her own benefit and the benefit of her unemployed A big drive has begun to clean up streets and alleys vacant lots and elevated rights of way before the opening of the Century of Progress on June l. Several thousand men are to be put on this job immediately. and the personnel will be shifted from week to week, to spread the work around Pay for this work takes the place of unemployment relief. Many another town might do well to clean up in the same way. using the same policy.
 Chicago, by the way, is winning general praise. and desefving it. by the enetgy she has put into solving civic problems lately. The completion of her vast fair preparations on schedule time is a remarkable achieve ment, when her late start and the local and general conditions are considered. From be- ing civic byword. Chicago becomes an ex- ample to many sister city for courage and intelligent effort under overwhelming diff cultes.

There is little chance for the uniform fiscal year bill receiving attention at this session of the legislature. While public officials are agreed that it is desirable, all oppose passage of the measure for the same reason They claim that it would involve too many charter changes at one and the same time However, in view of the fact that it is approved in theory, why not prepare for its eventual adoption. We know that statistics on it are available at the state tax collectors office. Will our l69 towns avail themselves of these so that all tax years can begin and end with the fiscal years.

Our Daily Washington Letter
 Paryt Lines Sharpened- vs the Field
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington The democratic imitation program has brought forth Il reminder that we still have q two-party system.
 You may remember that the chief republican contention used to be that the democrats de- stroyed prosperity and were dis astrous in q crisis, while the democrats countered with the ar gumcnt that the republicans were the ones who would run us into the mud. That still seems to be it..
 Unless republican leaders are proved correct in their charge that the administration inflatiOn policy will cause more misery than was experienced under Pres. idcnt Hoover, or unless tho general Roosevelt program fails to check the depression, the once powerful old g.o.p. will be at q disadvar- tagc in the 1884 and 1936 elec- tions.
 Millionaire Leaders
 The familiarity between the re- publican party and the owners or great wealth is demonstrated again as that famous trio of ultra-con- servatiye millionaire politicians - former Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon, former Secrc- tary of the Treasury ogden Mills and Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania assumes leader ship of the antI-infIation fight.
 The lineup reminds you of the great Bryan silver fight of 1896, when Mark Hanna raised millions to defeat the infatlon hcresy. In those days the g.o.p. politicians sold the workmcn of the east on the full dinner pail" Today, with a similar solicitude, they tearfully plead the cause of the masses and Dave Reed warns that the chief sufferers will be the working people and those of mod crate means. whose wages and the value of whose savings will be re- duccd.

There IS possibility that both these officials will be retained It is considerably brighter. too. since the governor announced the makeup of his liquor commission. If either com missioner is replaced by a democrat, 1t will be Mr Blodgett There seems no chance now for the democrats to secure the motor vehicle office Mentioned most prominent ly for the Blodgett position is State Sena- tor William Fl.

Who says that women aren't coming into their own in the Roosevelt administration. The president started it by naming Frances Perkins to the Department of Labor port folio. Then Mrs Ruth Bryan Owen was appointed ambassador to Denmark. Now Mrs Nellie Tayloe Ross, former governor of Wyoming is the new director of the U. S. Mint. the first woman ever to be elected governor of one of our states. It certainly is entirely fitting that this new honor be placed on her. She has been prominent in democratic political circles for years. even before sine succeeded her husband as governor of Wyoming in 1924. She has been extremely active in interesting women in politics in her capacity as vice chairman of the democratic national committee.

Cleaning Up
 An Old Crime

Arthur Fowler Neil, former superintendent of the criminal in- yestigation department of Eng lands famous Scotland Yard, be- lieves that he knows what that fabulous criminal, Jack the Ripper, really was. He tells about 1t in his new book, Man Hunters of Scot land Yard .
 Jack the Ripper, according to Neirs theory, was one Sevorino Kloakoyskj. alias George Chap man. who was hanged in England Fin 1903 for poisoning number of women, Kloskovski. Neil points out, reached England In 1887; the terrible Jack the Ripper crimes began then and ceased late in 1888, when Kloskovski went to America--when New York immediately had an cpl demic of them. Tn 1892 he re- turned to England; America had no more Ripper crimes, and tKlos- koyski evidently changed his tac- tics and became poisoner, hnal- ly being caught and executed.
 Of course, the identity was never proved. But Neil says that he is morally certain that his theory is correct.
 This is just one of the tales that All his book: and those who are fond of murder and detective stories ought to And a good deal of good reading in 1t.

THE DEATH PENALTY
(Hartford Courant)

Last week the house of represen- tatives in New Hampshire rejected a bill to abolish the death penalty. Vermont, 1t is said, Is favoring the enactment of q statute providing the death penalty for Kidnapping for ransom. That measure is the outcome of resentment caused by the Lindbergh case. The Vermont bill may become q law; the New Ham pshire proposal, rejected in the lower house is probably de- funct as far as the present session Is concerned.
 For many years, Connecticut considered and rejected measures to abolish the death penalty, and we recall that tho hearings before the judiciary committee were well attended, but we do not remember that the measure ever received q favorable report. It made its last appearance, 50 we are told, in 1923. Whether those who believed in its abolition lost faith in the merits of their measure or became dis couragcd at the unchanging con- servatism of the legislators Is q matter of little importance.
 However, Connecticut in its own way modifles the death penalty in that 1t sees to 1t that no woman is executed. The last instance oc. cured in New London in the 1730's and was shameful in that the vic. tim was q girl of 14 of low men. tality who to-day might have beer confined at Lyme for q period. The day for her execution became. as Il were, q holiday for New London County folk, for, aa was then the custom, the execution was public and was preceded by q sermon oi considerable length. A score oi years ago, or perhaps more. m ex. eciition ioomed as rather more than q possibility for prepossess. ing young woman in the state who was found guilty of first degree murder. The death penalty wal pronounced, but an appeal was talk. on to the supreme court of errors which ordered q new trial, result. ing in long term prison sentence Within q few years the young wo. man was paroied and shortly nf. terward was married and left the state.
 Connecticut may still be far from nboiiHhment of tho death penalty
 but it may Do said. at least. tlini Connecticut 3nries are not ineiinst
