Travelling Light
Is Becoming
An AIT

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Time
was when a woman took as
many trunks with her on a trip
as Peggy Hopkins Joyce or
Princess B r bara Mdivani-
today, two or three pieces Of
luggage are enough for even
the most exacting woman.
With extra charges for ex-
cess baggage on most planes
and trains, travelling light and
fast in small luggage space is
becoming an acquired art.
Tissue Paper
There's the trick, for example,
of packing several garments on
one hanger Of your wardrobe
trunk or suitcase. One always
on-the-go friend Of ours boasts
that she can get. two or three
pieces on every hanger
blouse and jacket on the lower
rod, and a full-length frock over
the upper one. And by the use
of tons of tissue Ipaper, there's
nary a wrinkle when her clothes
emerge.
Tissue paper, by the way, Is q
girls best friend on a trip.
Stuffed into sleeves, shoulders
and the folds of frocks, it
keeps them fvesh-l looking on the
most trying trip.
Heavy wraps, too many and
too much of them, are the jinx
of every journey. Try to take
only one, if possible-a tweed
travel coat that you can carry
over your arm between stops, in
stead of using up precious suit
case space to pack it.
Space Savers
Short evening jackets or
capes are just as smart for
the South as elaborate eve
ming wraps, and are also space
savers. And a light rubber
raincape, instead of a bulky
raincoat, will fold up into
20 c k e t handkerchief size in
packing.
# you must take a closetful
of coats, it's easier and more
economical to pack them in a
separate bag, and save your
fragile frocks from having all
the life crushed out Of them.
Another economy-in-th -the-end
is a separate shoe-and-hat box.
Not only will it keep your Soiled
shoes from messing up your
lingerie, and your hats in per-

gold. Mixtures will be smart in
all colorS.
Dresses Varied
About all we can talk about
now in celors for dresses is the
early trend, for our spring sea-
son is short in washington, and
we get into summery things
early. a..,.
Black, especially relieved by
white, navy, other blues, beige,
the blue-greens and green-blues.
the yellow-greens, gold, rose
tones and "dirty" pastels make
up the chart so far. That gives
us so much variety that it
should take us right into sum-
mer.
Prints Dominant
Prints are increasingly Inn
portant. Patterns are so varied
that it's impossible to even list
the types, but they seem to fall
generally into the conventional
designs, such as dots, geometrics,
stripes and tie-silk styles, and
into the Splashier florals, ink
splash and widely spaced motifs.

feet shape, but it will also ac-
commodate all the overflow from
your other luggage. Stockings.
hankies, scarfs, can all be
tucked into the corners of this
versatile accessory.
Glove Silks
If you're very much crowded
for space, leave your satin and
chiffon lingerie at home, and
take glove silk or Milanese I'M
dies instead. You can squeeze
them into any odd space you
have, and no matter how they're
rolled and rumpled, they'll
emerge fresh and unwrinkled an
hour after they're unpacked.
And speaking of fabrics that
can be squeezed with impunity,
seersucker cottons are a good
thing to remember for travelling.
They're terribly smart for sports
things this season, and practi-
cally never need pressing when
unpacked.

However, now is the time
come to think about the left
overs which will rest on the
larder shelf next Monday and
this time it will be cold roast
beef as far as our planning can
anticipate.
Which is all to the good for
cold roast Of beef is a pleasure
with which to work, as, indeed,
do I feel nearly any cold meat
to be, and we shall attend to the
menu quickly, and with Joy.
After that we shall turn, with
a gusto, to requested recipes
and fill the column with as
many as it will hold.

II you have limited amount
Of money to spend, the only
sensible thing to do is to stick
to one color range for your
accessories. In other words, key
your clothes to go with black
shoes, hat and bag, or with
brown.
Monotone Accessories
This is. comparatively simple,
especially as there are odd bags
in coat fabrics available to give
you a change, and as there are
beiges to go with the browns,
and grays for the blacks.
Blue is a smart accessory
color, but will never be as popu-
lar as black or brown, because
few people want to have every
thing blue.
y, Blues Important +
For spring coats and suits,
you'll find again that black

dress types, though blues viii
run a close second, and will be
extremely smart. True navy
and bright navy will be good,
with some soft in-between tones
excellent too.
Next will come beige, neutral
tan, soft brown, medium greens
and some gray, though not q
great deal, for it will be sup
planted by beige somewhat.
Some off-tone colorS will be
smart too, but will only be worn
by the exclusive few.
Tweeds to be Bright
Sports colors are bright.
There will be plaidS and checks,
stripes and vivid tweedS.
Browns and beigeS, rust and

There it is in q nutshell
mature under a strain"
Below Par
The pregnant woman would
DO well to remember this. She
ehould not coddle herself as an
invalid, but she should recog-
nize the fact that she is not
physically up to the mark.
The modern mother-to-be is
too inclined to "pooh-pooh"
warnings that she should re-
member her condition. She
likes to boast that she has not
altered her regular mode of life
one iota. She refuses to relin-
quish any Of her favorite pas
times.
It is well to be casual about
pregnancy and forget it when
ever possible. But there is such
Q thing as OVERRIDING it.
Nature, already under a strain,
can stand only so much. And
when that point is reached she
.(Mother Nature) Is apt to rebel.
AS a result there is a miscar-
Tiage or, if the full term is COM
pleted, both mother and child
suffer.
Moderation
The pregnant woman should
exercise. Nothing is worse than
shutting oneself up in the house
and brooding. But exercise must
be taken in moderation.
Horseback riding, for exam
pie, should be taboo. Tennis is
equally ill-adviSed and golf
should be discontinued after a
certain point.
Bathing and swimming is
frowned upon by some obstetri-
clans because of the danger Of

Corects
Dry or Oily
Skins
BY LISA DUMoNT

The skin that is too dry may
indicate a lack Of fat in the sys-
tenn, but it usually means that
the skin itself and the underly:
ing glands are lacking in natural
oils.
we know that some very fat
women have very dry skin, so
it is quite evident that the cure
for this must be in treating the
skin itself.
Composition
A great many Of us may know
what is wrong with our skin, but
few realize the composition Of
the skin itself.
Skin is divided into three lay
ers. The outer layer is known
as the cuticle or epidermis; the
middle layer the corium or
derma, and the lower layer, the
subcutaneous tissue. You may
not be interested in these tech
nical terms, but knowing will
help you to realize the reason
for our recommendation OF GER
tain methods Of treatment for
the skin.
The subcutaneous tissue or
lower layer supplies the sebum
or process by which the skin Is
kept soft and pliable.
Natural Cream
It is so important to the gen.
eral welfare of the skin that
without it the skin would dry
out and become hard and rough.
One professor of physiology
calls it natures cold cream"
Due to the climate, overhead
ed rooms and other causes, We
find that the skin function is
interfered with, so that we have

an abnormal drynesS or an ex-
ceSsively oily skin.
You may be surprised to learn
that the same fundamental
treatment is necessary for both
of these abnormal conditions.
That treatment is exercises for
the facial muscles, manipula-
ton (and often friction) Of the
skin to promote good circula-
ton.
Chiffon Layer
The outer dry skin is the
chiffon layer that is constantly
shedding. When this is inter-
fered with we have a drynesS
with q clogged pore condition
that arrests the lubricating
process.
When the skin is too oily it
means that the outel skin does
not hold and assimilate the ma
lures cold cream" The glands
are inactive and not contracting
as they should. This condition
is sometimes due to a tense ner-
vousnesS, but the external treat
ment is again the manipulation
Of the skin and facial muscles.
Skin and beauty specialists as
well as cosmeticians have made
a scientific study Of the reaction
Of the skin to various treat
mentS. We know that there are
certain treatments to remove the
dry chiffon layer; movements
combined with creams and stim-
ulating applications that will rO-
store q normal circulation.

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS

Perhaps in no other industry is there
such a variety of conditions as in the news
paper business. Totalled unfortunately,
there are something over $4,000 news
papers in the United States, ranging from
the smallest country weekly which prints
only two pages in it's own shop with addi-
tional pages printed by syndicate, to the
great metropolitan dailies which employ
thousands of persons each.
For the smallest, probably not more
than 25 pounds of paper is required each
week, while the Chicago Tribune uses for
one Sunday edition all the paper produced
from timber grown on 24O acres of land.
According to Grove Patterson, the
well-known writer, the New York Times
employs 300 persons, with payroll of
$25, 1000, 900 a year. Hearsts newspapers
and magazines use more than $50, 900, 900
worth of paper year.
But in spite of the disparity between
the smallest and the largest of American
newspapers, the publisher of the small
town daily need not be overawed by
the size of his metropolitan rival. The
local newspaper has a place in the life of
its community which the great dailes can
not usurp. if the local publisher is alive to
his opportunities afldsnakes theSmost of
them.
. , Now, assalways;the hometown news
paper is the best and cleanest exponent of
constructive journalism.

STERILIZATION
pensacola NeWs)


Sterilization as a means of lettering
the human race has become an important
topic in Florida since the recent inspection
of the Florida state hospital for the insane
and recommendation that the measure be
adopted in this state by legislation at the
next session of the state assembly.
The State of California will on Thurs
day complete a quarter of century of
sterilization in the course of which 10000
feeble-minded and insane persons, both
men and women, have been sterilized.
The Human Retirement Foundation
of Pasadena has issued report' analysing
the results of the eugenic measure stating
that sterilization is not a panacea but that
in the light of CALIFORNIA; experience it
does appear to be an integral. and i'm
portant part of any farsighted and modern
program for dealing with the tremendous
problem of mental disease and deficiency,
for helping to reduce the burden of taxa
ton, and at the same time for preventing
some of the most poignant misery and suf-
fering that now exists.
Since the law was placed on Cali
fornia'S statute books on April &c, 1909,
three-fourths of al sterilzations have been
performed on the insane, and one-fOurth on
the feeble-minded, according to the re-
port. The number of men and women
steriliZed is about equal. Most of the
feeble-minded patients who have been al
lowed to- leave the state institutions have
been sterilized. for some years past. Only
one new admission in five or six 9f thesini
sane has been sterilized. The law pro-
vides for compulsory sterilization. but in
practice the written consent of the nearest
relatives is sought and nearly always OBJ
tanned, the report explains.
"California's experience represents as
many operations as have been performed
officially in all the rest of the world put
together" the Foundation points out.
However, more than 15O,000.000 people
have been brought under eugenc steriliza-
ton laws since Gov James N. Gillett
signed the first California statute on April
26, 1909. Sterilization is now the law in
y American states as well as many foreign
countries. and some other states are now
performing operations more rapidly in
proportion to their population. than Cali

Since the operation does not unsex the
patient, it is not n punishment. but a pro-
lection, the report emphasizes. and as

sequences we're practically non-existent
