Welcome Santa
From Skies

After waiting patiently in the
cold at College Park airport for
more than an hour last night,
more than 900 children were re-
warded with q visit from Santa
Claus, fresh from the North
Pole, when the old joybringer
dropped right out Of the clouds
via parachute.
The children swarmed around
him, eagerly reaching for their
toys, and none was disappointed.
Santa's spectacular arrival,
was sponsored by the KiWanis
Club of Prince Georges county.

that every needy child in the
county has a merry Christmas.

Q Cigarettes for Christmas! No
smoker ever has too many. But
which cigarette? Remember that the
brand you give reflects your own
good taste. your sense of discrim-

Camels. They are made from finer,
more expensive tobaccos than any

PAROLE CHIEF
RAPS SYSTEM

Criticism of parole systems and
methods of sentencing were leveled
generally last night by F. M.
Moran, executive secretary of the
New York State Board of Parole,
in an address before the Monday
Evening Club.
He declared that in more than
10 per cent of the cases, the ac-
cused agree to plead guilty to one
crime which calls for a compare
lively short jail sentence, when as
a matter of fact they are guilty of
a more serious crime for which
they should receive more severe
sentences.
The New Yorker also condemned
the wasting of emotionalism on
''first offenders" asserting:
1--WE have wasted a great deal
Of emOtiOnalism on the first
offender. All too often his case
Is of one caught or convicted for
the first time. Some first offend
erS' have been arrested so times
before conviction"
He urged that parole be pro-
hibited to all habitual offenders
and incurable drug addicts.

spread publicity for general sale
OF gas masks, which, he charged,
was aimed to benefit manufac-

FIandin's Warning
Premier Pierre-Etienne FIandin
was sympathetic in his answer,
but he warned that "a certain
country on our eastern frontier"
has been subsidizing automobile
manufacturers "who would turn
out airplane engines in war time"
The premier, however, added
that he was opposed to wartime

bringing cheers from all over the
chamber that this is the pest

The 800,000,000 francs in supple

Dry Skins Need
Nourishins
Cream
Hy LISA DUMONT

A good rich nourishing cream,
neither too heavy nor too light,
is essential to every dry skin,
especially at this time of year,
when the majority Of complex
ions have assumed that weather
beaten, chapped appearance.
We have tested ane put up
by a famous cosmetician and
have found it very much to our
liking. It bears the command
ing name of Essential Cream.
Works Wonders
This cream goes on smoothly
after the face has been cleansed
and when patted lightly into
the skin, and left there until
morning, it works wonders. 1t
makes the complexion soft and
glowing, especially if you splash
quantities of cold water in
your face in the morning after
you have thoroughly removed
any of the cream that has not
been absorbed.
Some women find it incon-
venient to leave cream on their
face overnight. But if you can
possibly do it, the benefits are
well worth the annoyance. If
you are adamant, however,
The Washington times., 1934-02-09

The click Of needles has been
the theme song Of winter eve
nings, and women are hard at
work on things for immediate
wear or for spring.
There's still time to accom-
plish a suit or dress for spring,
in q medium or darkish color,
and If you're forehanded, you'll
get to work at once on some
thing for summer.
Linen Yarn Appears
Oh yes, there's another bit Of
news. That is that a new linen
thread has appeared on the
market. I have only seen the
thread, haven't seen any gar
ments made Of it yet. But by
the time this appears in print,
made-up garments of this thread
should be on display in a down
town store.
People who have seen them
say they're fascinating, and
that linen is surely the coming
thing. There's no reason why
it shouldn't be for it is about
the smartest thing in woven
fabrics.
Use ANY Thread
Mentioning a new thread
brings me to the thought that
perhaps I haven't been clear
enough in recent stories about
the instructions we send out
free Of charge.
No matter what thread they
call for, you can buy another
thread that will work up the

play and to initiate his broth
ers, sisters or parents.
He will be putting two and
more words together and should
be able to express his desires,
for a drink of water, etc., fairly
well. He will be able to name
animals and a variety Of OBJ
jects. He may like to listen to

Bladder control, at least dur
ing the day, should be well es-
tablished. He should be able to

Most children will weigh about
26 pounds. Your child may
weigh more or less, depending
on his height. He may measure

have 16 teeth.
AT Three Years
A child of three is very active.
He runs, jumps, climbs and
balances himself we'll. He tries
to dance to music and likes
rhythmic play. He can ride

He likes to do things with his
hands. He can string beads,
enjoys drawing and pasting
pictures. He likes toys with
which he can do things. He
will build houses with blocks,
pretend they are trains or cars
or automobiles. He should put
his toys away when through
with them.
He likes to hear and repeat
nursery rhymes. He likes short
stories told and retold. He
plays simple imaginative games
with other children or alone.
He is always Initiating some
thing around him. He can talk
in full sentences and carry on
a conversation. He may like
to listen to music and try to

buttons are sufficiently large

they have been united. He
should be learning to lace

Advice to the
LoveIorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Two or three weeks ago, I
met a young man of %. For
a week we made several dates,
and I fell very much in love
with him. I even gave up a
boy of 18 for him, with whom
I had been going for a long
time.
This boy wrote me lovely
letters and even composed
songs about me. I told the
23-year-old all about this boy,
and he told me to go back to
him, because he didn't want to
fall"in love with me, as he had
no intention Of marrying for
five or six years yet. He is
very ambitious, goes to night
school, and just considers me a
little girl. Still, he makes vio-
let love to me-.
All this has affected my
school work, and mother
doesn't know why I go pouting
around, being disagreeable to
everyone.
Would you advise me to give
him up, or to fight for him?
TERRIBLY WORRIED.
The things that will get you
anywhere, in this cruel, hard
world, my dear, are the things
you accomplish in your school
work, and not the pouting and
being discontented over this
ambitious young man of %
who tells you he has no in
tention of marrying for five
or six years to come.
At the same time, you'll
make more headway with him
if you don't raise. in his mind
the spectre of your serious in
tentions. It's fatal to show
your hand so frankly. Many a
valiant citizen has arrived at
the altar, and wonders, how in
thunder, he got there Let
me beg you again, don't be too
serious.

rule at this age they are losing
their chubbineSs and lengthen-
ing out into the slender type
seen in the second year. Some
babies, Of course, remain fat
and some grow tall without
gaining greatly in weight.
At Two Years
The average two-year-old can
run well. He can sit down and
get up without holding to any
thing. He can balance himself
fairly we'll. He can walk up
stairs holding to the rail. He
can open a door. He likes to
pile blocks and build towers,
to use a pencil. He may be
learning to put pegs in a peg
board and string large beads.
He should be beginning to put
away his toys after playing

same, and use those instruc-
tions. In other words, If the
directions call for boucle and
you want wool, you can get wool
that will work up all right.
instruction Free
All the department stores
that sell knitting and crochet
yarns have a competent in
structor who can tell you what
to buy, in case you want to
change.
And they will also be glad
to tell you how to convert the
instructions to your size, in
case you're not 36, or Is, or
whatever they may happen 20
come in.
The instructors will also be
glad to translate the instruc-
tions for you, in case there's
something in them you don't
understand, and to help you
generally.
Excellent Style
We're showing a dress today
that is smart for people of all
sizes, from the very slim to
women of larger proportions.
The surplice closing of the
bodice is extremely kind to
figures of all kinds, the skirt is
straight, which is excellent, and
the pleats in the skirt are q
help too.
For directions for this dress,
send a self addressed. stamped
envelope to Wilma Laville with
Vnmr renneSf.
The Washington times., 1934-02-09

making the hips look smaller by
contrast. Cape collars, wide
berthaS, broad-brimmed hats
are all tricks to treasure il
you're at all above fashion plate
standards.
These devices also bring the
entire figure into better pro-
portion, since it's usually the
wide-hipped woman who is mar
row across the shoulders.
Neat Trick
Another style sleight-of hand
is the wearing of a correctly
flared skirt. Many women who
are not so slim as they would
like to be, wear tight-fitting
skirts under the impression that
they look S IN aller in them,
whereas the truth is that these
tubular skirts actually aCcentu'
ate their over-developed der
riereS.
It's all in the proper placing
Of the skirt fulness-beginning
above the widest part of the
figure and letting the folds fall
gracefully from that point.
This is one of the neatest
tricks known for this type,
since then the fulness seems
to be created by skirt instead
Of by the figure.
Vertical Lines
That is why swagger coats
with a flare from the shoulders
are often a perfect disguise
for the hip-heavy woman, and
evening gowns with Jackets
hanging loosely from the arm
holes to below the hips serve
the same purpose.
No matter how strongly you
may be tempted, resist the urge
to buy a dress with a swathed
hipline. Wear instead, frocks
in which vertical lines lead the
eye up and down, instead Of
across the figure, such as
groups of narrow pleats.
Stright-hanging panels and long
Sash-ends.
The Washington times., 1934-02-09

Children differ, Of course, but
there are certain things a
mother may look for at different
stages of the child's develop
ment.
The children's bureau sets
standards for the child from one
to six. I will give you those
from one to three today and
from three to six tomorrow.
At One Year
The one-year- old child creeps
and pulls himself to standing
position. He might even have
learned to stand alone, and
occasionally child of the small,
wiry type can walk. He can
use his hands we'll and has be-
gun to do things with blocks,
boxes or a ball. He may have
learned to say a few words and
associate them with persons or
objects to which they belong.
BY the end of the first year
he should have been Weaned
from a bottle and be able to
drink from cup. Perhaps he
will be trying to use a spoon.
He should be learning to pull off
his socks at bedtime. If prop
erly trained he will have COM
plete control Of his bowels and
partial control of the bladder.
He is entering the period Of
childhood and should no longer
be treated as a baby. His pa
rents must help him to grow up
by teaching him to do things
himself.
The average child at one
year weighs about 81 pounds
(three times the birth weight
and measures from Is to 35
inches in height. Most chill
dren will have six teeth. AS a
The Washington times., 1934-02-09

leave it on for an hour or so,
at any rate before removing it
with soft tissues.
A dry skin should be cleansed
very carefully to m a ke the
proper foundation for the ap-
plication of a nourishing cream.
It is not advisable to use soap
and water, except perhaps once
q day on a dry skin. This one
application of soap and warm
water may be made in the
morning.
For general use we recon-
mend a cleansing cream. This
should be applied very lightly,
as it's mission is to soften and
absorb the dirt, and not be abb
Sorbed by the skin.
Avoid Pounding
If it is pounded into the
Skin-and we feel sure that
many women apply it this way
the dirt is maSsaged in with
1t. Then the pores are clogged
and a lovely smooth complexion
is wrecked through carelesSneSs.
Essential Cream should be
patted into the face and about
five to eight minutes devoted to
the process. A little muscle oil
may be patted into the skin at
the same time. This will leave
your complexion like a baby's,
and will put you in good condi-
ton to face the chapping winter
winds. Write in for the name
Of the coSmetician who puts up
this cream, and we will also
tell yQl where you may find it.

BATHS

Question-I'm an enthusiast
about baths Of all sorts and
varieties, and whenever I hear
Of a new one that I haven't
tried, I always want to learn all
about it. And that's the pur-
pose of this note. Some time

for a perfumed bath that inter
eSted me greatly. don't know
much about it, but would like
to give it a try. So I'd be most
grateful if you'd repeat the
instructions for me. F. Fl.
Answer-T presume that the
pot-pourri that you refer to is
the one composed of a variety
of dried flowers. Take some
lavender flowers, rose petals,
jasmine flowers and any other
fragrant herbs that you desire.
They should, of course, all be
dried. Then mix them with an
equal portion of borax and
powdered orris root. Place this
in dainty silk or muslin bags,
and tie them with ribbons, leav-
ing ends so that you can attach
them to the faucet in your bath
tub. If you faSten one Of these
bags on the water spout, and
then turn on the warm water
for your bath, the water and
the whole room will become
permeated with the lovely
fragrance Of the mixture.
