All of EN- Good

Passengers in the club car
Of a train from Philadelphia to
Washington were well treated
the other eve.
Two inebriates in the car
ordered the steward to bring
them two of those well-known
drinks, tom Collins" The
steward was unable to concoct
the drink and the two men
began an argument as to which
could mix the more palatable
"Tom Collins"
So heated did the argument
become that the men ordered
ingredients and began mixing
drinks.
: Then they called upon the
/ other passengers to judge the
libations, and kept them well
refreshed the rest Of the way
to Washington.
The judges verdict was
unanimous. All the drinks were
good.

He Cot His Ride

Policeman c. L. Hayden
thinks that there are enough
taxicabs in Washington to
transport all persons desirous
of going for a ride, in the
proper manner, and of their
own volition.
- Therefore, he was somewhat
surprised, according to recent
testimony offered in court,
when he was on duty in one
of the police radio cars the
other night.
A colored man ha lied the
radio car and ordered:
II want to go to South
Washington. Va. Please take
me!"
He was taken for a ride, but
not to South washington.

Midol relieves even those who have
always had difficult time. Relief
is such that two tablets should see
you through the worst day. Yet
they contain no narcotic, nothing
injurious. They're as harmless as the
aspirin you take for an ordinary
headache. But don't be fooled by
ordinary pain tablets offered as a
specific for such suffering! Midol
is special medicine, for this special
purpose. Your druggist has it on

BY MARY KNIGHT

|
Parns, (UP) - Joseph Paquin,
who never shows his collections to
the press during the regular sea-
son, let's a few noses in to ogle his
finery. Well, anyway, here's what
he likes:
Aprons. All shapes, sizes and
trimmings, and always drawn
tightly over the hips in short, easy
lines that wrinkle across the front
and can be tied, or buttoned In
various intriguing fashions. All
ready for party and looking like
you'd just prepared yourself to do
the housework seems to be one of,
the new styletricks from this OK
elusive couturier. A simple little
frock (like your parlor maid's)
worn with a taffeta apron--either
plaid or solid color--front bib and
everything, Is q cocktail ensemble
that IL amusing the younger gentry.
The sleeves are turned back like
Bridget would do hers to keep
Ing the family wash. He has sense
of humor sufficient at least to call
this costume La Laveuse" or THE
Washer"
As for materials, these new Pa
quin aprons recognize no limits.
They may he of silk. satin, calico,
or rags, as well as straw, feathers,
cellophane and wood fiber. Like,
wise you can make them reversible
and removable entirely without de-
stroying the sufflciency of the frock
beneath.

HOW LONG SINCE YOU HAD
YOUR OIL CHANGED?

Itching without apparent cause
and irritation of the skin are com
monty due to lack of oil. Skin oil
Is called sebum, and in health Is
secreted by the sebaceous glands
which are nearly as numerous as
the sweat glands and generally
pour their oil into the well around
u hair shaft through the same
opening as that CT the sweat gland.
These common mouths OF the sweat
and oil glands are not pores -
nothing Is or can possibly be alb
sorbed into the system through
these openings. Secretion or ex-
erection IL glandular function
which cannot be reversed.
Some persons have an idea that
It Is not natural to oil the skin or
to use comsetics which serve in
stead of the natural sebum to keep
the skin soft, smooth, warm and
pliable and to keep the complex
ion bright and clear. It may not
be natural" but neither Is the use

/ gents which wash off the natural
skin OIL and leave the skin dry and
harsh. Nor Is 1t natural to live In
overheated and excessively dried
out Enclosures as we do most OF
the year. Nor is 1t natural to ex-
clude as much as possible the sun
light and air from contact with
the skin. Nor Is 1t natural to ex-
pose the skin constantly to the
CRIME of civilization, with Its
chemical irritants.
All SNUG little jokes aside, In
my opinion many persons battle
much too often for the good Of
health and comfort. Bathing be-
comes kind of nutty obsession
with them. After all, 1t seems that
the nastiest characters one en-
counters are likely to be physically
the most immaculate. Seriously
always get little suspicious Of any
one who Is too painfully or too OBJ
vious1y fresh from the bath.

case. The better the ventilation of
