CARE OF THE NECK

DOES your neck receive the same
- diligent care as your face?
Every time you clean your face, do
you just as thoroughly and carefully
cleanse your neck? If you use
cleansing cream on your face, do
you carry the same cleansing meth
DDS down to the shoulders? And
when you massage a rich, nourish-
ing cream or pat with a good
astringent do you automatically in
clude your neck as part of your
face? Those in the know in beauty
circles take all this for granted.
During the winter months the
neck needs even more attention
than the face. Exposure to the ell
ements means dust and drying
winds. Fur collars, scarves, ETC.,
constantly rubbing against the skin
make it rough and dark. In addi-
ton to the daily regime of cleans
ing, exercise and nourlshing from
which most faces grow younger and
lovelier, the neck needs frequent
bleaching treatments, too.
A smooth, white, swan-like throat
will be yours if you are faithful in
this simple treatment.
Once or twice a week, whether
you are bleaching your face or not,
bleach the neck. First cleanse thor
oughly with good cleansing cream.
Then spread your bleach over your
neck a ready prepared cream or To-
ton, or a bleaching mask, or half
peroxide and half lemon juice. When
you feel a tingling or drawing
sensation remove. Now generous
ly massage nOurishing skinfood.
Bleaches are drying, you know, and
this must be counteracted or lines
and wrinkles will result. Leave a
little of the cream on overnight.
In the morning, remove any of
the cream that is still left on the
skin and pat with witch hazel to
which a few drops of benzoin have
been added, or with a ready-pre-
pared skin tonic or astringent suit
ed to your own needs "a mild tonic
for the dry skin, a stronger astrin-
gent for the oily).
If you use a finishing lotion or
cream on the face, be sure to carry
it downward over the entire neck
too. And as for powder, it should
never stop at the jawline. The prop
er way to blend powder Is on the
up and up, from base of neck to top
of forehead.
Remember that the pores of the
skin, like the lungs perform a double
function. They eliminate waste.
They take in new health-giving mat
ter-oxygen, moisture, electricity,
tonic breaths of ozone by the sea
or balsam in pine woods. The skin
absorbs various strengthening bath
tonics, salt rubs, oils and other med
! icants.

SMOOTH, RUBY LIPS

D IDING on the wing of winters
IN winds come chapped lips. And
so many are now voicing that COM
plant that we had all better get
together and do something definite
to counteract the condition. These
chill days tend to chap and coarsen
the lips.
Very often the chapping and ac-
tual breaking of the chin is aggra-
vated by constant moistening. So
many of US do that unconsciously.
At no time is it good for US and
during the winter it is very definite
ly harmful. Worst of all, it is a
natural thing to wet the lips when
they feel parched, drawn and rough.
Biting the lips is another evil that
too many women unconsciously in
dulge in. If your lips do not have
that wee bit of dewiness that is
youthful and natural, call your pom
ade or cream to your assistance. If
you use a nourishing cream for face
and neck, be sure to massage little
on your lips, too. Camphor ice is
good and there are many colorless
pomades in the form of lipsticks
that give the lips a dewy mist that
seems to heighten their natural color
and at the same time keeps the skin
soft and protected.
Before makeup, If your skin is
generally dry and you are using
a protective finishing cream, mas
sage just a wee bit Of it on your
lips, too. No need to use a great
deal. A little is enough. With your
index finger massage gently but
with a firm, pressing movement into
your lips. Now we come to the col
oring Of the lips. Choosing lip
stick becomes a delicate business
during the cold months. The harsh,
hard type of lipstick can be simply
ruinous to the silky texture of the
lips. If you find that your stick
needs a great deal of rubbing to
leave colorful impression, try los
ing it and choose a stick of creamy
consistency instead. OF course, if
it is too soft and creamy, it will
smear and leave an ugly line that
smart women try to avoid.
After you have carefully applied
the color to the lips, give it time to
set. Don't eat or drink anything
Immediately afterward. Don't rub
your lips, moisten or bite them at
any time, particularly not after they
have been rouged.
The purpose Of rouge and powder
Is to enhance your natural lowell
ness. Cosmetics add the lovely fin
ishing outside touches which accent
uate beauty or lend an illusionary
charm, as a lovely dress decorates
a lovely body.

T 4rman Side Of the News - ByEdwin c. + Hill

Higher and higher climbs
the plane until at last the
altimeter reads 26,575 feet, .
height of more than five miles.
Out of the cockpit drops q
man bundled and masked as
a protection against the severe
cold. He falls at the amazing
speed of two miles a minute.
Down, down he comes and
it is almost certain that he
will crash to earth with every
bone in his body broken. But
no, a scant $50 feet above the
ground he releases a parachute
strapped to his back and he
glides gracefully to safety.
''Nikolai Evdokimoff has done
it again!"
That is the news which
spreads through Russia like
wildfire, news which the youth
of that country seizes upon as
our own do the news Of an
other spectacular feat by Babe
Ruth or Carl Hubbell on the
baseball field. =
For, strange as it may seem,
Russia has gone in for para
chute jumping as a national
sport. Already 10000 young
men and young women have
qualified as experts, and the
aim of the authorities is to
raise that number to 100000
within a year. Why? Because
the Soviets want an air-minded
nation and because they look
on parachute jumping as means
also of intoxicating courage and
Self-reliance in the young.
They figure that it will be the
airplane and not the railroad
which will draw together and
develop their vast empire. They
know too, although they do not
say it, that the Japanese are
not adept in the air and q pre-
ponderance of strength in that
branch will give them sort Of
Sword Of Damocles over a none
too friendly neighbor.
A not uncommon sight in Rus
Sia today is the practice tower,
a structure of $50 feet or so, for
the training of parachute jump
ers. The opening Of the season
in Moscow recently took on the
character of miniature EPSON
on Derby Day.
Six thousand spectators were
at the carnival, and 80 para
chute jumpers went through
their act. The air was filled
with young men and young
women dropping from the skies,

da Vinci, who designed one in
the fashion of an umbrella at
the same time that he drew
the plans for an air machine.
But it was not until October
%, 1897, that the first official
parachute drop was recorded.
On that date Andre Jacques
Garnerin jumped from a bal
loon at a height of 1900 feet
above Paris and landed safely
to repeat the feat on later oc-
caSionS.
The type now generally in
use was perfected by the
United States Army Air Serv-
ice. It consists of a pack,
weighing 18. pounds, which
serves as a seat cushion. 1t is
strapped to the body, and when
the aviator or passenger "bails
out" of the plane and releases
the parachute, the effect is the
same as opening an umbrella
which has a spread of "a feet
Of silk.
Among American aviators
there is a mythical society
known as 1.-THE Caterpillar
Club" Any flier who has had
to make a parachute landing
is a member, and the number
today is about 500, whereas in
1919, it was only two. Para
cute jumpers have no sensa-
ton of falling or of losing
their senses in the rapid de-
scent. They say that they seem
to hang in the air after the
parachute has jerked them
upright and that they become
conscious of descending only
when near the ground.
The Russians, who use the
American type of parachute
which they manufacture them
selves, have had few, if any,
fatalities in their newly found
national sport. They report.
too, that for beginners, the
women are the best as they
do not lose courage as quickly
as. the noviceS among the men.
However, the greatest Rus
sian of them all is the man
Evdokimoff-he goes up in
heavy clothes and an oxygen
mask and thinks nothing of a
drop of less than four miles.
He has 100 descents to his
credit and the worlds record
of 26,575 feet, as recorded
above. He is indeed a daring
young man who FLOATS
through the air with the great
est of ease"-covering as he
does, five miles in 142 seconds.

champion of the merit system.
Nor have Mr.. Roosevelt's sup
porters altogether abandoned
hope that he will yet give battle
to the Spoilsmen. This he can
not effectively do, however, un-
til he compels Mr.. Farley to
give up either the office of
Postmaster General or the
Craftsmanship of the Democratic
national committee.
The two offices are in con-
flict. It was never intended
that they should be held by the
same man. The Postmaster
General is supposed to devote
his entire time to the admins
tration of that important office.
He cannot do that if he is at
the same time functioning as
chairman of the national COM
mittee of his party and die
tating to the other members
of the Cabinet and the heads
of the independent agencies of
the Federal Government whom
they shall recommend to the
President for appointment to
all of the thousands of Federal
offices at his disposal.
Must Lead Way
And until the Roosevelt ad-
ministration takes the field
under the leadership of the
President for the extension of
the merit system throughout
the Federal service Mr.. Roose-
velt cannot be of much assist
ance to those progressive Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in more
than 5000 counties throughout
the United States who are
struggling to throw off the
yoke of OK cart government.
OXcart government in every
State in the Union is main
tained by the spoils system.
To get rid of oxcart govern
ment the people must first b.
emancipated from the rule of
office holders who owe their
place on the pay roll of govern
ment to the oxcart driver
the county rings and the local
bosses whom the Chairman
Postmaster General of the
Roosevelt administration is or
ganizing into one vast army
under his command.
Every time a Democratic
Congressman is defeated in the
primaries of his own party for
denomination because he has
betrayed the public interest in
permitting oXcart politicians
to determine his recommended
tions for Federal appointment
the people strike a blow against
the spoils system and against
the oxcart system of county
and local government. The
example of Oklahoma might
well be followed by other States
in the primaries yet to be held.

tain sections of New York city
found themselves in the midst
of a furry of tiny, white moths.
A lot of people thought at
first that it was snow, but as

carded as visionary.

version of the phenomenon,

the bottle regulations which
are designed to cut down boot
Logging.
It is ruled that none shall
use bottles, previously filled
and emptied, for bottling boot
leg. Distillers' trade marks will
be stamped on the bottles, etc.
The. Treasury believes the
prohibition against refilling
bottles will be of great import
ance in the war on illicit rum.
Secretary of Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, jr., becomes some
what petulant if one questions
the benefits that will be de-
rived.
The situation, as others see
it, is this: The Treasury is
making it unlawful to bottle
illicit whisky in bottles pre-
viously used to bottle legal
liquor. OF course the mere sale
of illegal whisky is unlawful.
So, some say, the Treasury
is saying something that would
be like telling a criminal:
"If you slap that man you
are numbering you will be pun~
ished for ASSAULT"
WaShington's Bohemian life is

So they have abandoned the

live meagerly and save the

The Washington times., 1934-08-01

In spite of the alarming eX-
tension Of the spoils system
under the Roosevelt adminis-
tration-due chiefly to the fact
that the chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee is
also Postmaster General and
dictator over all Federal patron
age-Democratic Congressman
in a number of States are en-
countering formidable opposi-
ton for denomination.
1t was predicted on this page
last May that four of the nine
members of the Oklahoma dele
cation in the Seventy-third
Congress were in danger of de
feat for denomination in the
Democratic primaries.
Three have just been de-
feated for denomination and
the fourth declined to be a
candidate because he feared
defeat.
One Of the reasons for this
upset in Oklahoma was the
general dissatisfaction over the
dispensing of Federal patronage
under the spoils system. Not
only were those who failed to
get on the pay roll dissatisfied
but the general public was re-
sentful of the incompetency of
many of the appointees to
whom the Federal jobs were
given in reward for political
activity.
Others Defeated
Alabama and Illinois are
other States in which Demo-
cratic candidates for Congress
have been denied denomination
in spite of the fact that they
boasted of their support of
President Roosevelt and were
literally supplied with patron
age by the chairman Postmaster
General. And at this writing
only II of the 48 States have
yet held their primaries.
This is not a bad sign, except
for the Spoils men of politics.
For the general public it is a
most encouraging sign. It indi-
Gates that even the rank and
file of the party in power are
getting weary of the iniquitous
system under which the politi-
cal parasites on the pay roll of
our obsolete system of county
and local government are trad
ing their support of senatorial
and congressional candidates
for Federal offices for their
heelers.
It indicates also that Sena-
tors and Representatives in
Congress who betray the public
interest by auctioning off the
Federal offices at their disposal
to the highest political bidder
are running foul of a growing
public sentiment against the
Spoils system.
President Roosevelt can halt
the raid on the merit system
by the spoils men of politics
whenever he makes up his mind
to suit the action of the Presi-
dent to the word of the Presi-
Dental candidate.
AS a candidate for President
and before that as Governor
of New York, as the Democratic
nominee for Vice President and
