SHIPS OFFICERS ACCUSED

Arrest of William. Warns, acting CAP
tain of the Morro Castle at the time of the
tragic disaster which cost 134 lives. and
of Eben S. Abbott, his chief engineer, in
dicates determination on the part of
the government that those responsible
for one of the seas most unnecessary ca
tastrophes must answer for their con-
duct before the tribunal of the law.
Testimony at the government inquiry
into the disaster brought forth astonish-
ing evidence of lax discipline, and inabil-
lty to handle an emergency in an eff
cient manner on the part of the ships
officers. Indications that all traditions
of the sea regarding the necessity of
safeguarding passengers, were ignored
were only too apparent.
Putting the case before the criminal
courts for decision is the right course to
pursue. If the ships officers were
guilty of all that was charged against
them they should be punished, the same
as the landsman who operates an auto
mobile in a reckless manner, and if they
are not guilty, their records should be
cleared

Aid to agriculture as means Of

subject of prime Importance in the
United States. President George
Washington in his first annual mes

be given to agriculture. In his last

the pertinent statement that "as ma

more an object of public patronage"
While agricultural activities have
been of first hand Importance since

Astringents Aid Flabby EyelidS

make myself as presentable as
possible.
Can you tell me what I can
do to remove this condition?
Sincerely, MISS La V.
Dear Miss A. La V.
To help correct the roll OF
flesh on the upper eyelids, use
an astringent cream or a regu-
lar eye tissue cream, a mild
astringent lotion and lots Of
cold water. Be careful not to
get any of the cream or lotion
in your eyes. Smooth the cream
gently about the eyes, then ap-
ply astringent lotion with a pad
\ Of cotton.
When you have time to relax,
wiring pads of cotton from ice

place over eyes. This is an ex-

HATE THROUGH REMOTE CONTROL
Advice to the Love|om- BY Beatrice F difdx

There Is Gold Digging Wife, Too
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Both my wife and I work, and
when we married there was an
understanding that we should
have a joint bank account. I
have been turning over my sal
ary to her for the past few
months, supposing she had
banked it in the manner to
which we had agreed.
When I went to draw a check
I discovered that the account
was in her name only, and she
objected very seriously to letting
me have the check which was
intended to pay for some abso-
lutely necessary summer clothes.
When I reasoned with her, she
lost her temper, and said I didn't
trust her.

Dear weary Mother:

Dear "Weary Mother:
There are one or two really
excellent food drinks at present
on the market, and if you will
send me q stamped, Self-ad-
dressed envelope, and repeat
your question, I will send you
the names Of them.
You are entirely right in not
forcing a continual battle with
your child on the milk ques.
tion. Some children are porn
with an antipathy toward milk,
and it is almost impossible to
overcome it by inSistent meth
DDS. The food drinks I speak
Of are very palatable, and take
the child's mind off the object
of its stubbornness.
I know that my little boy
learned to like milk by this
remote control" method, and
drinks quantities Of it now with
real pleaSure-either plain, or
mixed with one Of the patented
foods.
AS to the added food value
Of these concoctions-I suppose
that the malt and sugar which
they contain add somewhat to
the nourishing qualities Of plain
milk.
The Washington times., 1934-07-09

the milk Of lettuce leaves. This
soap actually cuts oil and goes
deep into the pores Of the skin
and scoops out the oil deposits
that lodge there. French
women have used this soap for
years to cleanse oily skins, but,
although it has been available
in this country, few American
women are aware Of its eff.
cacy.
AS an oily skin is the result
of over-activity Of the seba-
ceouS glands, I cannot too
strongly stress the Importance
of aiding the pores to dis
charge the excessive oil. If you
do not keep the skin pores
Immediately clean and free of
oil, blemiShes are bound to
appear.
A good way to prevent pores
The Washington times., 1934-07-09

from being clogged is to use a
rich lather Of the soap I have
mentioned and a flesh brush. At
least three times a week (more
frequently if your skin can
stand it,, scrub your face gen
tly. Rinse off the soap thor
oughly with warm water and
then splash your skin with
quantities Of cold water-the
colder it is the more astringent
it is. Some skins may benefit
by ice, but be sure to wrap the
ice in a piece Of linen before
treating the skin.
For those of you who plan to
spend the summer by the sea,
or to sail the briny deep, let me
give you the name of a soap
that fathers instantly in salt
water. Most soaps, as you
know, give little action in sea

Of Irish
Water Spaniel
Oouded
BY LIZ HUME

I am publishing today the
picture of a six-month-old
Chesapeake Bay Water Span
iel." There is no such breed
as this-so I am just taking
for granted that the dog Is a
cross between a Chesapeake
Bay and an Irish water span
iel-two distinct breeds. This
dog is named Brownie, and
he belongs to Mrs. Thomas
Harden.
Little Known
AS to the origin Of the Irish
water spaniel there is very little
authentic information. A man
by the name Of Mccarthy seems
to have been one Of, if not the
first, exhibitor of the breed and
q successful one. although the
Irish water spaniel was pre-
viously kept largely in Ireland
for sporting purposes and a
valued member Of "Ireland's
Reds"-red setter, red spaniel,
red terrier, red wolfhound.
The most feasible theory OF
his origin is a cross between the
poodle and the Irish setter.
There is much in common In
type and character between the
poodle and Irish water spaniel
viz, in coat, conformation, head.
and general character, while in
DISPOSITION the dog inherits all
the dash and determination OF
the Irish setter, and partakes
of his color, which, we can quite
understand, would be deepeneo
by crossing in again to the
poodle.
intelligent
The Irish water spaniel par
takes, too, of the great intelli- :
gence of the poodle, who al
though regarded as a trick and
fancy dog. will hunt and re-
trieve on land and water with
most spaniels.
The breed has never made
the progress with the public
that it merited by many good
qualities. The dogs are smart
and outstanding in appearance,
combining intelligence and en-
durance with a dashing tenn
permanent that makes them
charming companions. TIL ey
are also splendid guards for
children, will play with them
by the hour and act as their
guards in time Of danger.
My readers are probably al
ready familiar with the his
tory of the Chesapeake Bay
dog. I published a picture and
story on the subject several
weeks ago. Brownie must be
an interesting pet if he is a
cross between the two breeds.
