Face Is BIemiShed

Face Is BlemiShed
Dear Miss Shelby:
1 am a girl in my late teens.
I don't use makeup and, al
though l try hard to take good
care Of my skin. l have black
heads and pimples. My face
also takes on muddy and
yelloWish appearance.
l have been adViesd to take
yeast, but 1 am afraid yeast
is fattening and put on weight
easily.
Would using makeup cause
my skin to become worse? Sin
cerely, E. d'M.
Dear E. d'M.
Yeast should not be fatten-
Ing if taken in the correct quan.
titles. See that you exercise
every day-that will use up any
extra energy the yeast might
create.
Do not use makeup as long
as you are SO young. Keep in
good health and you will have
natural beauty.

Of Love and Marriage)

OF Love anu MATFlS&GI
An Office Romance
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm q woman of 80, and find
myself very much in love with
a boy of Fl. We both work in
the same office, and this ro-
nance began by my taking a
Sisterly interest in him.
He has asked me to marry
him, but I fear couldn't hold
him, if a younger and prettier
girl happened to please his
fancy.
SHIRLEY.
In your case, I think the
danger lies not in the differ
ence of your ages, but in the
fact that the young man hasn't
had a chance to grow up. 1
think you should not consider
this proposal seriously, if at all,
for at least two or three years.
If you're both genuinely in love,
you will be willing to wait.
There are plenty of happy
marriages on record, where the
wife has been 10 years older
than her husband. Conspicu-
ously are those of DiSraeli.
George Eliot, and her second
husband, Cross, and the classic
instance of Bishop Pinckney's
wife, who is said to have en-
broidered his christening robe.
But with 10 years seniority, a
wise woman will make haste
slowly.

Pigs Are
AS Different
As Dogs
BY LIZ HUME

Unless you have been especially
interested In guinea pigs you
will be apt, in thinking Of
them, to lump them all in one
class. Guinea pigs are-well,
just guinea pigs to the average
person.
But to the person who has
bred them with an intelligent
interest or made q study OF
them, guinea pigs are as diff
ferent as can be. As different
as dogs. YOU wouldn't think Of
CHASING all dogs under one
heading. There are big dogs,
little dogs, Smooth-coated ones.
rough-coated ones, etc.
So it is with guinea pigs.
There are simply dozens Of
them, all so different that the
uninitiated simply refuse to
believe that they all belong to
the same family.
There are three large branches
of the family. including the
Bolivian, Smooth-coated and
sometimes called the English pig;
the abyssinian, rough coated with
hair growing in odd little
rosetteS all over its body, look
ing all the world as though
it's fur had been parted every
where in the wrong place and,
last but no least, the aristocratic
long haired Peruvian.
All of the three general varie-
ties have various Sub-claSsifica-
tions, due to Selective breeding
and inter-mating.
The colors range from pure
white to the calico, the latter
combination Of all colors.
In selecting your pigs you only
have to decide upon which
color you prefer and will be
almost certain to find it
black, brown, red, yellow, pie
bald.
The Peruvian Is usually pure
white with ruby eyes. 1t is one
of the most attractive Of the
little pigs, but unless you have
plenty OF time to devote to your
pets Is not the happiest choice.
chiefly because it requires SO
much attention and such care
full grooming to look its best.
Its hair is so long and silky
that 1t not only covers it's en-.
tire body and face but actually
trails on the ground. Owners
of PeruvianS have been known
to keep their pets hair done up
in curl papers when not IN ex-
hibition to keep it out of the
way.
For the child or beginner. the
smooth-coated pigs are the most
satisfactory because they are
not SO subject to disaster and
because they require less care.
They are, too, much less ex-
pensive. A good Peruvian will
cost you money. Worth it,
maybe, if you want that par
ticular type, but oh how badly
you will feel when you lose it.
Guinea pigs ma ke charming
pets. They are far more in
telligent than is usually be-
lieved and become quite at
tached to the person in whose
care they fall.
II you have n good picture Of
your pet, Liz Hume invites you
to send it in for use in this col
umn. No pictures returned.
1t is also very probable that
some Of your experiences would
be Of interest and value to other
owners of pets. Address Liz

way from my home town. I
should like to make some
friends, but l am painfully
bashful. The trouble with me
is that when I'm with girls, l
feel out Of place.

The only way to overcome
bashfulneSs Is to wear it out
by continually meeting people.
Try not to think about your
self when you talk to a girl

pers, and join some organiza-
ton like the Y. M. c. A. and

Good Circulation Removes
WhiteheadS


WhiteheadS
Dear Miss Shelby:
For a long time my face has
been covered with blemishes,
mainly whiteheads and enlarged
pores.
What is the cause and cure
of this unSightly condition?
Sincerely, c. P.
Dear Miss c. p:
Whiteheads occur in inactive
skins and are due to clogging Of
the SebaceouS lands. Many
mild cases yield to strict
cleansing and st m u ing
regime. Soap and water and
almond meal may be used once
q day.
The almond meal should be
used like powdered soap; applied
on a wet face and thoroughly
rubbed in with the fingertips
and washed off. Following. it is
we'll to use a little cream or
Softening lotion to protect the
skin and keep it soft and flex-
ible.
The daily bath, followed by a
cooling shower and a brisk rub,
down to bring up the blood is
important. Exercise to stimulate
circulation is essential, for the
skin must be normally active il
the pores are to eliminate pro-
perly.
Settling-up exercises. outdoor
exerciSes-all help. Any local
treatment that improves the
tone and health of the skin Is
recommended.
A plain diet including plenty
Of fruit and vegetables is essen.
tial too, also good eliminations.
Drink eight glasses of water
every day. Persistent treat
ment will often gradually
eliminate whiteheads. In some
cases they may be punctured,
using fine Sterilized needle but,
as a rule, this is not recon-
mended.
Facial Milk. Wash
Dear Miss Shelby:
What shampoo would you
recommend for the hair?
What IS your opinion Of a
milk-waSh for the face?
Sincerely,
M. E. L.
Dear Mrs. M. E. L.:
1 consider the olive oil-caS-
tile shampoo a good mild one
that should be satisfactory for
your hair.
In regard to applying milk
to the face I wish to say If

RECREATION UNIT
CONTROL URGED
Michigan Park Group Would
Place Facilities in Charge
of D. c. Heads.

Expressing confidence in the District
Commissioners, the Michigan Park
Citizens Association last night unani-
mously passed q resolution asking that
all recreation facilities within the Dis
trict be put under control of the Dis
trict Commissioners or any commit
tee appointed by them.
They also request that not only the
public Fairgrounds be put under the
control Of the Commissioners, but also
swimming pools, golf courses. stadiums
and other public places that would
come under the term of recreational
facilities. This, however, would not
include the recreational units Of pub
lie schools, which would be taken care
of by the Board of Education.
A resolution recommending compul-
sorry liability insurance for all public
operated "for hire" vehicles, or flnan-
cial responsibility, was recorded by the
group.
The association took no action on
the proposed parking ban on certain
streets, declaring that this is a dras
tic move and nothing should be done

CHANGES OPPOSED
AT DUPONT CIRCLE.
Citizens Association Again
Takes Action Against
New Car Tracks.

A recommendation that no change
be made in the present street car route
around Dupont Circle until some
definite plan is devised for the ultimate
solution of the transportation problem"
was made by the Dupont Circle Citi-
Eens' Association at a meeting held
yesterday afternoon in the MayfoWer
Hotel.
This action was taken, it was said,
because there has been no decision as
yet concerning the purchase by the
Capital Transit Co. of the Washington
Rapid Transit Co., and because pro-
posals to substitute busseS for street
cars on Connecticut avenue are being
considered.
Tracks Are Opposed.
Specifically the association opposed
the proposal to lay tracks around the
east side of Dupont Circle to permit
northbound cars to follow normal
route around the circle. Admiral Mark
Bristol, chairman of the Streets, Parks
and Traffic Committee, said this
project would cost at least 5000 900 and
declared 1.-The new route would simply
create a traffic hazard similar to the
one at --homas Circle.
Following a recommendation pro-
posed by Mrs William Floyd Crosby
the group went on record as favoring
retention of the Board of Public
Library Trustees with undiminished
powers" In adopting a resolution to
this effect members praised the present
library system in the District and de-
clared they saw no reason for change
John Ihlder chairman of the Alley
Dwelling Authority, was guest speaker
at yesterdays meeting. He explained
that under the alley clearance act, his
organization has the tWo-fold respon-
sibility of Cd converting the present
alley dwellings into economic and So
cial assets to the community and 90
the moral obligation of rehousing the
liable dwellings.
He declared Washington is facing a
very serious housing shortage not only
in higher income housing but in the
lowest priced habitable dwellings.
Plan Declared Unsound.
When one member suggested. as a
solution to the rehousing obligation,
the large apartment house of the type
now used extensively in Vienna,
Ihlder branded this plan as "abso-
lutely unsound, both economically and
socially"
Actually, the rent now paid by
residents in those apartments pays
only the operating COSTS" he said.
There is no return on capital in
vested"
LAS for the social factor" he said,
"housing in masses tends to regiment
the residents"
In closing, Ihlder requested the
members to be patient with his or
ganization in this work and that IF
you have any criticism, first seek in
formation from us before making up
your mind in hostile way"
