LEGION AUXILIARY.

Ella Ann Linn attended the fall
conference at Prosser, when Mrs.
Thelma Rodman of Wapato, sixth
district president presided. The
distinguished guests for the con-
ference were Mrs. Net Smith, le-
gionary chairman, Mrs. Ella Phiffs,
rehabilitation chairman, both of
Seattle, Mrs. Ellis Dorothy, con-
stitution and bylaws chairman of
Sunnyside, Mrs. Merit Coffin, unit
president of Prosser. The hostess
club and Mrs. Laura Collins, de-.
partment president of Washington,
of Goldendale. Mrs. Collins gave
her report ON the National conven-
ton held at Miami, Florida. The
group was especially urged to study
Americanism and National de-
tense. They were asked to have
their FIDAC chairman obtain
speaker, or read a paper on Bel
gium, the country in which our
FIDAC congress will be held.
Kennewick unit had a very fav-
orable report for the years work
so far, starting with the installa-
ton Of officers banquet on Septem-
Der 26. They have reached their
membership quota. Lulu White, re-
Mobilization chairman reports for
the hospital work: 8 bed jackets,
six laundry bags, IL hot water bot
tie covers, carton of cigarettes
sent each month. The next sewing
will be hospital bandages.
The local child's welfare chair
man has also been busy. She re-
ported the completion of 2 layettes
that are to be stationed at DR..
Spaulding's office. One member
reports having assisted Miss Bra
KEEL, DIR. McCoWen and Mrs. White
in the child's clinics held this fall
and in giving diphtheria antitoxin.
This comes under Auxiliary head
ing of community project. Mrs.
Collins also urged all members to
assist as much as possible in buy
ing T. B. seals, as this money goes
for very good cause. Leila Hatch,
treasurer, reports around $50 in
the treasury.
The next meeting will be with
a no-host dinner. This will be a
joint meeting with the Legion
naires. Dinner will be at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Drennen
In Pasco. All cars not knowing
the way please meet in front of the
Washington Hardware at $3.50, ac-
cording to the committee in charge.
In the report on membership on
November II, the 9th district came
through in fine shape by ranking
third in the districts in the state.
The third district was first with
53.17 percent of its quota. The
fourth district was second with
1852 percent, and our own sixth
district was third with 32.12 per-
cent of its quota for the year. Fred
B. Wivell Post No. 81 was the lead
ing post in the state having 100
percent of its quota for this year.
Our own post obtained nearly 40
percent of its quota, which is real
ly a pretty fair record, for this
time of year. We have a challenge
from the auxiliary on membership
and it's going To cost us some

Santa's Yelp for Help Finds
Women Ready to Aid i'm
Seeing that Children Aren't
Overlooked This Year

If your sensibilities are at
tuned to the times, that strange
feeling is merely a reaction to old
Santa's yelp for help. More help
is needed this year than ever be-
fore, too.
The three local women's organ
izations are enlisted as a unit to
heed Santa's plea and have already
started preparations to be sure
that no youngster in this commun-
ity will be overlooked on the 25th,
and that none of their elders will
need to go without Christmas
dinner The first meeting was
held last evening to make prepar-
ations for the occasion. 49,, "
The Business Girls club, the Le-
gion Auxiliary assisted by the Wo-
mans club are uniting this year
to handle the annual Christmas
cheer program. Assistance from
Miss Brakel, county nurse, has al
so been offered and the Boy Scouts
win again be called upon for their
part of the work-that of repair
ing and repainting toys to be pass
ed on.
A drive for broken and outgrown
toys will be started this week. Cam
ned goods and vegetables will also
be solicited, all of which may be
left at Miss O'Malley's office at
the city hall.
The committee members present
at the meeting Wednesday night
were the Misses Margaret Haw-
kins, Mabel Hughes, Brakel and o.

Advice to the
loveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Victim of a Vamp?

Dear Miss Fairfax:
At the age of 20, I find my
self in this unhappy situation
of being in love with man
whom have known for five
years. He is % years old. For
the last three months he has
not even called me UP on the
telephone. The only reason I
can see is that a girl, who has
the name of being the vamp
of the town, has got him on
the string.
I stood him up about this
girl, told him that I disapproved
Of her very much, and said
that if he ever dated her, I
would never go out with him
again.
I believe he cared for me
and still cares. Even now,
when I see him he seems
frightfully nervous, not know
ing which way to turn. Do
you think I will ever have a
chance with him again?
TRUE BLUE.
I think this man has treated
you very badly. In your place
I would make no effort to get
him back. A man who would
treat a girl as he has treated
you is not worth thinking
about That is my opinion.
But if you persist in loving
him, let me say that the only
grounds upon which you could
ever expect to have any real
peace with him, in the future,
would be to have him see the
error of his ways, and act &C
cordingly.
Let me suggest that you
make other friends and asso-
Citations, to carry your head
high, to really make up your
mind to do without him.

the crown of the head, letting
your hair and arms fly. Next,
brush up from the ears toward
the temples. Then from the
temples to the crown. And re-
verse. Always brush against the
grain of the hair, and, when you
are about to burst a blood YES
sci, let up.
While the pores are still open,
with absorbent cotton, quickly
apply the hair tonic which you
have selected. Part the hair with
a comb and rub the tonic on the
scalp. When this is done, you
go in for a little hair-pulling.
Grasp a handful of hair and
give it a slow tug. Go all over
the scalp. tugging a handful
at a time.
About this time you feel your
wave has been ruined. But 1t
has not. Comb the hair back
into place, a few strands at a
time. Spray on a bit of tonic
with an atomizer and press your
wave with your fingers. Pin up
any loosened curls, then hop
into bed.
Keep up the good work as
long as possible. 1t takes some
thing more than mere determina-
tion. but you'll be right proud
Of that head of yours one Of
these days.

GO THROUGH LIFE LIKE
THAT.
They have no roots
No power of their own
No place or pattern,
And no private plan,
Nor any wish
To build a life, alone
But live. like parasites,
On other lives.

Time was
When each man made his life
Or went without;
Fought his own battles;
Thought his thoughts,
Or paid the price
OF lazineSs and fear
And ignorance.
Then came some Stronger One
To lead the tribe,
To think and fight for those
With weaker SpineS,
And thereby make
A profit for himself;
And now the world is filled
With those who live,
Like rootlesS miStletoe,

Do you know that keeping
your hair in good condition re-
quires persistent effort? 1t re-
quires also an efficient hair
tonic, a pair of brushes, some
hair-pulling and good health.
On all these depend the luster
and beauty Of your tresses.'
It is good to remember that
hair draws it's nourishment from
the body. External care of the
hair is only for cleansing and
stimulation. Hair must be fed
from blood streams. So watch
your diet, take plenty Of exer-
else and learn to control those
nerves.
Resist too frequent shampoos.
A normal scalp requires wash
ing only every two or three
weeks, and an oily or a dry scalp
should not be washed more
often than once a month. All
three types should be given in
between tonic treatments, and
arduous brushingS for Stimula-
ton.
In choosing a tonic it is neces-
sary to determine just what con-
dition your head is in. If you
discover a diseased scalp, seek a
specialists advice, and don't
fool around with preparations
that might prove antagonistic
or you may lose what hair
you have.
For the three common scalp
conditions-dry, oily and normal
there are three excellent veg
etable oil tonics made by we'll
known hair specialist. BY choos-
ing one of these your search for
a safe, corrective treatment is
very much simplified.
And you could not do better
than to let one of them help
your hair get that glory with
which it should be crowning
you! In using it, follow the di-
rections of it's creator for most
effective results:
Every night take two hair
brushes Eyes, you have to work.
and bend over. Start at the nape
of the neck and brush toward
jerk"
The Washington times., 1934-05-24

BY doubtful occasions I mean
those times when you just can't
decide what to wear. You are
pretty sure that evening clothes
will be too formal. You don't
know whether you should wear
a dinner dress or an afternoon
costume-and so you wear a
printed chiffon, sure that all
will be we'll.
General Quandary
A good Illustration Of this
quandary that attacks us all at
times was the garden party given
last week at the White House.
Dozens and dozens of people
called me to know what to wear.
After a general discussion of the
possibilities, I said in nearly
every case, printed chiffon.
This years chiffons seem to
be made with ruffleS instead of
sleeves, or with cape effects that
cover the top of the arm, so that
sleeves will not be necessary.
Such types are particularly
adaptable to many occasions.
They can be formal or informal,
according to the hat, gloves and
shoes you wear with them, and
their uses are legion.
Flower Designs Used
AS far as I can see from my
early shopping, the designs used
this year are not particularly
unusual, or different from those
we've had before, so we must
depend on pleasing color, good
fit and attractive designing for
a distinctive dress. Fortunately
those things are present in
The Washington times., 1934-05-24

them in a dry cloth, or lettuce
bag, and set them in the ice
box.
Dressings should not be put
on the salads until just before
serving, as standing in dressing
destroys the crispnesS OF the
greens.
Any vegetables to be used
cold, as a salad, should be
cleaned and cooked in the
morning, then drained and
placed in the icebox by them
selves on a platter. Cucum-
bers should be peeled and sliced
and left in a small bowl OF
salted water in the refriger-
ator.
Tomatoes are easily peeled
by plunging them into boiling
water, after which the skin
readily scrubs off. and they
may also take the "ice cure"
of the day. Raw vegetables
should be treated like the salad
greens.
Fruit is best prepared just
before serving, as much OF the
flavor is lost if it stands too
long.
Dressings can be made in
the morning, and then put in
q jar on the ice until they are
needed. Place a peeled, halVed
onion in the bottom of the jar
of French dressing-it improves
the flavor tremendously, and
can be removed just before the
dressing is poured over the
salad.
Don't forget the trick Of
using the vinegar from a jar
Of sweet pickles instead OF
plain vinegar to make dress
ings taste extra good!
Here are one or two recipes
for salads that will prove both
delicious and practical for the

nearly all of them, even at low
prices.
This. urge to write about
printed chiffons came a little
early. in fact before I'd
secured a good picture of one.
But the gap is easily bridged,
for have today a picture of
lovely plume chiffon, which will
do just about as well for most
occasions, and steps very very nicely
into the breach.
Over Silk Slip
Plume chiffon is a very fine
cotton voile, so fine and sheer
that it closely resembles silk
chiffon, and is used the same
way. It comes in as lovely pat
terms and colors, and if it is
worn over a silk slip, looks
just about the same.
The dress photographed to-
day is unusually attractive,
and furthermore it is very
inexpensive. It's hard to de-
scribe the colors, for they are
so mixed, but there are prints
with green, pink, blue, or the
orange and yellow tones pre-
dominating. The dress is only
$7.95, and comes in sizes II
to 20.

showing this dress, write Miss

Brush Cats Fur
In Shedding
Season
By LIZ HUME

We are getting fine coopera-
ton from cat owners who have
been kind in sending me pic.
lures of their, pets. Today we
are publishing a picture of
"Petunia", a Maltese cat, belong.
ing to Mr.. and Mrs. Hayward
Bowly. They are very fond Of
their pet, but regret that Petunia
has such a fondness for birds.
Some persons never think Of
grooming a cat because cats are
supposed to, and do, keep their
fur in good order. A cat should
never be washed, but brushing,
with not too hard a brush, is
good for their fur and they gen.
orally enjoy it.
Loose Hair
A cat sheds its coat twice a
year, in the spring and the fall
and during that time you should
brush and comb your pet at
least once every day.
You can get rid of a great
deal of lose hair from an Or
dinary short-haired cat by comb
ing. A cat that runs free in the
country gets rid of much of this
hair by rolling on the ground.
But an indoor cat cannot do
this.
A Persian needs particular at
tention in this respect. It is i'm
possible for it to keep it's long
hair in order with his tongue
and when the hair begins to
come out, it is a positive danger
to the cat. A Persian or Angora
should be kept only when it is
possible to give it every care
and personal attention.
Careful Watch
Fleas, on either cats or dogs,
are a usual trouble in the coun.
try, where in the summer it is
difficult to avoid them. Regular
combing and brushing, in either
case, is the best check. Bathing
will help to get rid of them with
dogs, but not altogether.
If you live in the country,
you must keep extra watch over
your pet during the hunting sea-
son, and also when the hay is
being cut. If there is a moving
machine nearby, it is best to
shut the animal up until the
work is over.
If you have a good picture
of your pet, Liz Hume invites
you to send it in for use in this
column. No pictures returned.
1t is also very probable that
some of your experiences would
be of interest and value to other
owners of pets. Address Liz
Hume. care of The Washington
Times.

NO THOUGHT OR IMPULSE,
ACT OR WORD is REAL.
THEY'RE ALL SYNTHETIC.
The things they say
Or do or wear,
The way they tint
Their nails
Or wave their hair,
Their party ballot
Or their bill of fare,
Is something someone told
them
Or they've seen, somewhere.
They do not even
Feel for their own selves
There's nothing in them
Which can freeze or blaze,
Flood life with color,
Fill the night with song,
Or free them from the bondage
of dull days.

Which, they say, they crave.
Yet they're as cold
AS though they lay within
A womb, or grave;
THEY CANNOT TAKE THEIR

From out the oak,
So they suck hate and love
From movie screens;
Find pride and pity

A sense of speeding force
In steel machines.

one Of the most common forms Of
the malignant disease. A serum made
from these organisms, it was re-
ported, had caused cancer In mice.
The Public Health Service studies

lieve that carcinoma cancer Of the
breast Is caused by q germ infection

Gus theories.
DR.. White said that, pending def
mite conclusions to the contrary by
competent medical scientists, there
Is no known serum or medicine that
can cure cancer. Radium, the X-ray
and surgery can remove cancers so
they viii not return, providing the
treatment is given early enough, he
stated.
The surgeon said persons under 80
usually are free from cancer, but that
those over 40 OF so appear to be in
the cancer age" Cancers in younger
persons often are more virulent and
active than those in persons Of ad-
vanced ages, he said.
Use Of Coal Tar.
A peculiar discovery is that coal
tar rubbed on the skin Of a mouse
will produce cancer, DR.. White as
serted. Why this Is so is a mystery,
he said, for coal tar applied to the
human skin does not seem to have
deleterious effects. Road workers who
use tar freely suffer no more from
cancer than other workers. it was
pointed out.

clared, and one cancer may lead to

Constant irritation appears to cause
some cancers, especially those Of the
stomach and intestines, the ply
sician said. Rough foods, improperly
masticated foods, and too hot drinks
might cause some forms of cancer, the
forum was told.
DIR. White concluded by advising
every one to undergo Q medical ex-
animation regularly-whether well or
not. In this way, cancer may be dis
covered In Its early stages and treated
with good hope Of success, he said.
