When wrinkles threaten, see to 1t that the dry skin condition
 is corrected. That's the beauty eecret for the mature woman
 discussed by Alicia Hart in this
 fourth article of special series. Preparations made especially to prevent skin dryness, 8 condition that generally accompanies lines and wrinkles, should be included in the cosmetic cabinet of the old- CT woman. While light three-purpose creams and simple, easy-to-apply tisue creams will do very well for young girls, the ma ture skin needs something heavier to keep 1t soft to nourish it.
 Naturally, no one past forty can expect her skin to look like an eighteen-year-old girls. Lines and wrinkles will eventually appear and there's no reason to be ashamed of them. However, 1t is possible to prevent coarse, rough. textured appearance, and any careful woman can do it right in her own home.
 First of all, make sure your toi- let soap Is of 8 fine variety that contains no free alkali. Inciden- ldlAyp IulS uOSSH uledu IndI yOu should wreck the beauty budget every time you buy soap. Some o fthe best complexion soaps on the market cost only five or ten cents per cake.
 When you have cleansed the skin with soap and water, rinsed several times with ice water (do not rub ice directly on the skin), cover face and neck with reliable tissue. cream that contains oils. Now wrap a large pad of wet cot ton around the end of a batter and, using upward and outward strokes, pat the skin on throat and face for at least five minutes.
 Be sur your throat gets as much attention as your face. Wipe off the excess cream, allowing little to stay on all night.
 Next morning, repeat the same routine. Remove every trace of the cream and rince face and neck with cool water before putting on foundation lotion and daytime makeup. l .,

Everyone knows the story of Gracchus Brothers, Tiberius and Caius, who sent for her sons when sa rich friend was exhibiting her jewels, and said: These are my jewels" I am always glad that this epi- gram was chronicled by the his- torians because believe it has had more results than all the Punic and Gallic Wars put tobeth-
 One time our children had measles. Then before we were out of quarantine, whooping cough caught up with us. A long winters s session of this, and chicken pox arrived with the birds. q
 The doctor bills were something magnificent. What with sending to the drug store every day for something or other, and buying the usual supplies sickness entails, the bank was empty. May arrived at last, and as I had not been out of the house much. I. felt, that peculiar exhiliration that expresses itself in new clothes. f's'a Contrast in Responsibility.
 So I went shopping with two rich) just for a holiday. They did the shopping and I did the look ing. I went home with my heart in my feet. Neither of my friends had chil- dren, so I found myself saying that the rich got richer and the poor got children! life wasn't fair. When they said, as they often did, that they would gladly change places with me, I gave them a hard look. Their spring clothes would make a saint Jealous. And I was very much interested in suits and hats and shoes and coats. And pinks and blues and straw hats for sum- mer and travelI bought some new shoes and tried hard to remember Cornelia.
 One may as we'll; confess it. There is no mother living who has not had her bad moments, and although she wouldn't give up her children for the world, has not envied the unencumbered.
 Defeatist Attitude.
 Don't feel this way. It is a de- feated ottitude toward life. It is just the difference, after all, be- tween the, "beings" and the "hav- ings," as one man said. And it is true that the childless woman. in almost every case is most sincere when she insists that sch envies others.
 Then, too, think what these women are. going for us. Who is 1t who has time and opportunity to make the world more accept able to us all? Not busy mothers who have little time to catch ab- tract beauty and materialize 1t in their homes and lives.
 Children are indeed jewels; let us not forget.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Old HarDieS Keen at It

I am an expectant mother and during the first few months I at- tended a lecture by a nurse from the board of health. She told all about diseased babies and people and went into great detail about how they look, and 1t was quite dreadful and I've worried so ever. since. Older women tell me a baby can be marked and they describe horrible cases they have heard of (drs F. H)
 Answer--Of course the supersti- tion of marking" the baby is ridiculous to any one who knows embryology or the way in which development occurs. These harpies, including the one employed by the board of health, ought to be sup pressed. Send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for instructions for Prospective Moth CT.
 How're Your PimpIes?
 You say if you were a youngster and had a face all frescoed, in blackheads and pimples you would not let that disturb your eating habits. If you really believe diet is of no importance in the cause and cure of pimples, people would be more impressed if you'd just eat freely of sweets and other rich pastries and still have a fine clear complexion like George Bernard Shaw. (B. F. W.)
 Answer-Oh, pshaw. my face is not red enough. But the experience of millions Of young persons is sufficient proof that I'm right, They gorge on sweets, pastries and what have you. yet have no more black heads or pimples than is normal or physiological in youth.

 There is a lesson in the case for patients as well as for physicians. The moral for the patient is that it is time to change doctors when yours begins to mutter about TAKE THREE-POLICE .... .. nervous breakdown; and it is time to change again if the quack attempts to ascribe your i'll health to nerves" For physicians the moral is that the patient who pays a fee deserves a break, that is, at least an earnest effort to determine what ails the patient.

muddy condition of the grounds

lie B. Wright and Mrs. Wilbur
Laroe, representing the Forest
Hills Citizens Association, and

vide for more streets connecting
with the thoroughfares leading to
the school and to furnish a play.
grou
The Commissioners called at
tention to the fact that the 1oca-

DUPONT CIRCLE
TRACK SH|F TED

Traffic congestion at Dupont
Circle may be eliminated by sin
gle lines of street car track
around the east and west sides
of the circle, as ordered late
yesterday by the Public Utilities
Commission.
This change was ordered over
the protest of Traffic Director
w. A. Van Duzer, who has op-
posed consistently any more car
tracks around circles.
The commission, however, be-
lieves that street cars on the
west side of Dupont Circle, run
ming straight into all southbound
and eastbound traffic. as they do
now. constitute a danger and
cause delay.
The work of removing and in
stalling track will not take place
for several months.
In connection with the Com
missions order to remove tracks
from P Street west of Dupont
Circle and substitute BUSES, run
ming the cars on M Street in
stead, a request was made today
by Peoples Counsel Roberts to
reduce fares on the Burleith-
Trinidad bus line to the street
car fare level. The fares are now
10 cents straight, six tokens for
so cents.

Spinal Meningitis
Hits Farm Horses

Spreading from st. Mary's
and Calvert counties, a form of
spinal meningitis, encephalomye-
litis, is appearing among horses
on Prince Georges county farms,
it is reported by veterinarians
from College Park. They are
also checking on report of hog

The disease among the horses
is contracted from mosquito bites
and there is no known cure.
Veterinarians, however, are using
