brown mascara? My hair is au-

Thanking you so very much.

Answer-You should weigh
112 pounds. If you soak your
hands in water constantly, any
liquid nail polish will crack and
peel off. The kind you are u.s.
ing is very good. Olive oil will
darken the Iashes sooner than
white vaseline. Castor oil
brushed on is also excellent for
the laShes and it will make
them grow. You can get moons
on your nails by gently press
ing back the cuticle at the base
of the nail after you have mas
saged oil or a cream into the
cuticle several times to soften
it. It will then push back
easily and the moon will show.
You should seek the advice of
an operator in good beauty
shop rather than attempt to
change the color of your hair
with a shampoo at home. Au-
burn hair is beautiful and I
can't understand why you would
want to make it lighter. You
should use brown mascara.
Black will be all right if you
use it lightly.

She Slapped His Face

She Slapped His Face
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm almost IT, which is quite
old enough to know right from

a show with a boy. He had his
arm on the back of my seat,
when suddenly it fell off and
hit me on the side. I know he

way I asked him if he wanted
his face slapped.
He laughed and promptly for

night, he's been mad with me.
He doesn't even speak to me.

This Discomfort

This Discomfort
The thing that never happened,
What promise it unfolds
The gift life never gave us,
What strong allure it holds!
For we are seekers ever,
Always the fields afar
Are shining to our vision
And lovely as a star.
The beauty that eludes us,
The goal we cannot reach,
The song within our bosoms
Which is too sweet for speech.
Are parts of this, our portion:
To love the beckoning quest,
To hold of lesser value
The good we have possessed.
And by this trait man rises:
This restless discomfort
First set him on his journey
From slime to armament!

Diet Hint

The milk formula is not the
only thing that is important in
the proper feeding of an infant.
Thorough cleansing and steril-
izing of the bottles and nipples
by boiling are necessary, while
the bottles containing the sew
eral feelings must be kept cold
and away from dust and flies.
AS regards rubber nipples, those
should be chosen which can be
turned inside out and easily
cleaned.

Something simple to prepare,
something different, something
economical in our strenuous ef-
fort to seek out items with these
attributes; sometimes we wan
der far afield and overlook food
selections right at hand with in
teresting possibilities.
Take dried or Clipped beef,
for instance. How many think
of it as other than, well, just
SOM thing which may be
creamed hurriedly and served
on toast? AS a matter OF fact,
here is a meat which easily full
fills all the requirements.
In preparing dishes with dried
beef it is wise to determine
whether or not there is extra
salt on the beef by sampling it
before combining with other in
gradients. If too much salt is
present, it is necessary to
freshen the beef before using it..
In order to gain the most
satisfactory results in the
process of eliminating some OF
the saltiness Clipped beef should
be treated with the utmost
care. Remove the thin skin
around the edge of the slices
and tear it to shreds. Pour
boiling water over it and almost
Immediately drain it off again.
This will remove an ample
amount of the extra salt and
still not too much to ruin the
flavor. The beef is then ready
to be converted into various
dishes.
Dried beef is an economical
food, as it contains little or no
waste and is most nutritious.
A half-pound of dried beef
will nicely satisfy five people
if combined with sauce, gravy,
eggs or an eXtender of some
sort, and it may be served with
equal popularity at any meal.
Dried Beef OmeIet
Prepare a plain omelet, using
6 eggs, 6 tablespoons of water,
y teaspoon salt, 1s teaspoon
paprika and 2 tablespoons but
ter. When beginning to set fold
one cup freshened, minced dried
beef into the omelet and serve.
Frizzled Dried Beef
Eggs and dried beef make a
delicious breakfast dish, as we'll

ton. Shred one-quarter pound

D. c. GROUPS HEARD
!. ON TWO MEASURES
King Calls Farley on Deeds
of Trust and Mortgage !
Foreclosure Bills. 4

Chairman King of the Senate District
committee held a conference today
with spokesmen for several Capital or
carnations on two bills, one to set
UP new procedure to be followed in
recording and releasing real estate deeds
OF trust, and the other to regulate fore
closure OF mortgages in the District
among ehose present were Roger j.
Whiteford. counsel for the Washington
Real Estate Board: c. Clinton James
OF the Building Association Council,
ana r. q. Addison, jr., of the District
Bankers Association.
There were no differences of opinion
over the bill relating to the recording
ana releasing of deeds CT trust, and
senator King said he would poll the
otner members Of his committee to see
II tney were ready to report it. The
same Dill was favorably acted on in
the last Congress but did not 20
through both Houses and therefore had
to be reintroduced.
With regard to regulation Of mortgage
foreclosure procedure, Mr.. Whiteford
and Mr.. Jones said they had a number
OF changes to suggest, and this meas
ure will be given further study in con-
sultation with the legislative drafting
experts. The foreclosure bill would ap-
ply to mortgages or deeds Of trust ex-
ecuted after the passage of the pending
bill. The bill would require court
procedure In which no final decree of
foreclosure could be entered until six
months after the court has entered an
interlocutory order showing that a case
for foreclosure has been proved. At the
expiration of this six months, and upon
application of the plaintiff within 80
days, a final decree would be entered
unless the amount due on the mortgage
together with interest at 10 per cent
during the proceedings, plus the costs,
has been paid. Mr.. Whiteford suggest
ed that this six-month period of re-
demption should be changed to three
months

M'BRIDE SEES BEER
OF SHORT DURATION
Public Will Pronounce Sentence
Against 1t if Courts Do Not,
He Declares.

F. Scott Mcbride, superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League, predicted to-
day that 'if the courts do not invalidate
beer legislation, public sentiment, which
originally outlawed beer, will again pro-
nounce sentence against 1t.
The prohibition leader said "the eff
fectS OF beer and the methods of the
beer trade make it inevitable that beer
even con its best behavior, contrasted
with prohibition, even where most fla
grantly mistreated, will quickly con-
vince forgetful voters and mandate
mislead politicians that beer has not
changed its nature, and that the people
have not changed their minds"
1T has not been, and will not be, the
policy of the Anti-Saloon League to
advocate any specific restrictions in pro-
posed beer legislation" Mcbride said
"either in the District of Columbia OF
in any of the various States, because
the beer program is a wet program, and
the vets will have to accept full respon-
sibility for the operation of any beeI
selling system.
ITO summarize the program Of the
Anti-Saloon League relative to beer, we
shall educate against its use by individ-
uals, because it Is a habit-forming in
toxicant, and advocate legislation to
prohibit its sale in every possible polit-
ical subdivision within the States, ir
every possible State, and eventually
again throughout the entire Nation"

DEADLOCK ON BEER
CARRIED TO VOTERS
Gov. Lehman and Senator Fearon,
Opposing Faction Heads,
Make Statements.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
ALBANY, N. Y, April 3.-The legis-
lative deadlock on beer control was car
ried direct to- the voters of the State
last night in messages from Gov Her
bert H. Lehman and Senator George
r. Fearon, Republican minority leader,
heads Of opposing factions in the dis
pute over how to regulate beer traffic.
Stating his views at the Executive
Mansion, Gov. Lehman declared that
those holding out for the plan of county
beer control boards, favored by the Re-
publicans, are motivated by desire to
build up the local political machine"
Senator Fearon, attacking the Gov
ernor's plan for a non-partisan State
licensing board as fine theory" as
serted that $50 far as we are con-
cerned, we are opposed to turning over
the immediate or eventual control of
the beer or liquor trafic to Tammany
Hall"
II am not questioning in any way
the motives of Gov. Lehman nor his
sincerity" Senator Fearon said. "I
simply believe that he has been jockeyed
into Q, position by astute politicians who
know what they are doing every minute.
Gov. Lehman Is banker-not a poll
tician."
Former Gov. Alfred e. Smith issued
his own statement, declaring Gov. Leh-
man is right"
The Governor served notice that even
If his bill is passed without the nom
partisan nomination provision-which
calls for candidates for appointment to
the State Commission to be made by
non-political organizations-he will ask
the organizations to make their NOM
nations anyhow to assist him in naming
State Control Commission.

The record made at Los Angeles.

Los Angeles area are considered almost
perfect by Survey engineers. The
traps" were placed at three points, near
the center of the recent earthquake
and the records taken from the ma
| chimes are being thoroughly studied One
record was obtained in the midst Of
the destruction at Long Beach, ap-
proximately IL miles from the center
of the disturbance off shore. Geodetic
/ Survey engineers had to pass through
police lines and make their way along
streets Uttered with debris to reach the
instrument which, fortunately, was in a
building that had remained practically
intact. A new piece of record paper
was put on the machine, as lesser
shocks were expected momentarily.
Other earthquake traps located near
| by also gave excellent records. In one
case the engineers removed the records
| from the machines not knowing that
another shock might not bring down
debris on their heads.
According to the preliminary study
OF the records, very rapid and very
| strong motion of high frequency oc-
CURED at the beginning of the earth
quake, followed by longer periods of
shock with slower acceleration. 1t is
believed that the latter caused the bulk
, of the damage.
This was the first time in history
that the instruments were available for
use. It is expected that study of the
graphs will furnish much information
to engineers and architects which may
be applied in the future to curtail
earthquake damage in all parts Of the

FEDERAL PROBE FORECAST.
Divorce of Pipe Lines and Service Sta
tions Seen by Independents.

Divorcement of oil pipe lines and
service stations from oil production and
a congressional investigation of the oil
industry was forecast today as a con-
sequence of the oil conferences of last
week by John B. Elliott, Los Angeles,
head of the independent oil group op-
posed to Federal control or curtailment.
Elliott declared the major oil inter-
ests had been routed" in Washington.
In telegram to independents in Cali
fornia, Oklahoma and Teak, he said:
'.The old oil monopoly has been COM
pletely routed and plans to intrench
itself in the Roosevelt administration
have been signally frustrated
"It is known that there will be NO
Federal oil czar, no holiday shutdown CT
oil production, no more Federal oil con-
servation board, no dictation to the
States in favor of the monopoly. Out
Of the rout is coming real legislation for
the separation of oil pipe lines and per-
haps service stations from the produc-
tion and refinery units, the enforcement
of reasonable oil pipe line rates and
regulations by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and probably a congress
sional investigation of the big business
monopoly in the petroleum industry
that may make history"
