Gets Lonesome

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Il like all kinds of sports, and
am very good at them, but I'm a
regular bear as to dancing. This
has cut me out of lots of good
times. Also, I'm baShful. so if you
know any nice girl of about 80
years of age. there is a bachelor
of So who'd like to meet her.
mo DANCER"
Alas, that cannot give you the
name of any young lady around
80. But it's an ironclad rule of
this column never to exchange ad-
dresses, or in any way to act as
a go,between. ImperSonal advice
is all we stand for. But there are
thousands of girls of 80 who would
like to meet a nice man. even If
he's a regular bear at dancing.

Apple Snow

Quarter and core four tart ap-
pies. Cook slowly and when
cooked mash and add sugar to
taste. A small amount of lemon
rind improves the taste. Beat the
whites of 2 eggs until stiff. Add
l tablespoon of sugar, then fold
in one cup of apple. Dust with
cinnamon.
Serve with chilled soft cuStard
and pour a little honey over the
top just before serving. For the
soft cuStard, add 3 egg yolkS and
4 tablespoons of sugar to 2 cups
of scalded sweet milk. Cook in
double boiler over hot water until
the custard coats the spoon. If it
shows signs of curdling beat hard
with a rotary egg beaten.

Hints

Easier to Slice
Raw bacon is easier to slice If
done when it is very cold.
Add MOlaSSeS
Those rich brown pumpkin
pies are usually given that tint
by adding a tablespoon Of mo-
laSSes to the filling.
Fill the Pan
Don't be afraid to fill your
cake pans full of fruit cake
batter. Most fruit cakes rise
very little.

people is through friends, who
will know something about you
and in some degree be responsible.
Plenty of Time
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm a girl of 18. I go with
two brothers and I don't know
just which one I want. I feel
I'm in love with one boy, who's
"a, but he doesn't care as much
for me as the other one does,
who is % and wants to marry
me. But I don't think we would
be happy, knowing how 1 feel
toward his younger brother.
He has a good job and I
know he will make a good hus-
bnad, and he says he will make
me forget his brother. But I'm
not SO sure he can. 1 know the
younger one has no intention of
settling down. AS 1 have no
mother, I'm asking you this very
important question.
VERY PUZZLED"
It seems to me it would be ill
advised to marry one brother
while you are so deeply interested
in the other. You'd constantly
see this younger man, and in
every little domestic furry you'd
say: "Oh, if I'd only married
Junior how happy we would be-"
In spite of the older mans
promise that he would make you
forget his brother, it's not always
so easily done.

Health
How to Treat
ChilbIainS

The circulatory system is not
equally efficient in all of us.
There are some people who are
predisposed to trouble due to
the peculiar arrangement or
structure or diminished number
Of arteries. Particularly is this
due to the feet and toes.
1t is natural that if there is
such a peculiar sort of an ar.
terial system it would manifest
it's worst effects in the extremi.
ties, the point farthest away
from the heart.
People who are inclined to
have numbneSs of the extremi.
ties in the summer time are
likely to find these conditions
exaggerated in the winter. They
have the condition known as
chillblainS.
Two Types
The wellknown English medi-
cal journal, The London Lancet,
identifies two forms Of chill
blainS which it calls "acro-cya.
noSiS"-one occurring in fat
women between the ages Of Is
and IS, and the other occurring
in middle-aged thin individuals
of both sexes.
In connection with the condi-
ton we find certain constitutional

cold to the touch, with blush or
purpliSh diScoloration. The pa
tientS are also subject to head.
aches and are extremely sensitive
to cold.
The course OF the development
Of ChilblainS is, first, contraction
of the terminal arteries under the
direct influence of cold. People
with the constitutional arterial
system which has been described
above. will naturally be particu.
larly susceptible. After the ar.
terieS have contracted, they tend
to react by Utilization. The reac.
ton becomes excessive, an effort
on the part of nature to overcome
the initial local anemia, and the
result is blood StaSiS with heat,

ing.
In the group of overweight in.
dividualS. 1t has been thought
that some thyroid disturbance is
present and many physicians
have treated it with appropriate
remedies.
Treatment
In the extreme form which
physicians usually see, the itching
and scratching has brought on
liberated areas or a chronic form
of irritation of the skin, in which
attacks follow each other during
the winter months.
In treatment and prevention,
proper foot covering will help to
insure an even circulation and
an even temperature for the feet.
This may seem like a Self-evident
remark, but as one observes the
number of silk stockings and low
slippers worn by women on cold,
slushy winter days, it is a wonder
that the entire female population
does not have chilblainS. A wooden
sock is the best foot covering the
year round.
The liberated areas or scratches
should be treated with a stimulat-
ing antiSeptic, such as iodine and
hot foot baths, with vigorous self.
massage, will go far to bring foot
comfort in the winter.

fighting unit. but the writer is not
willing to believe that they could put
up such a drill as this organization
and some of the other local military
bodies of 40 and so years ago.
IN JUST about year from now the
few remaining veterans Of the
Washington Light Infantry Corps will
be celebrating the one-hundredth an
niyersary of that once crack military
body of the District of Columbia, evi-
IDENTIFY organized some time prior to
August 81. 1886, when the Metropoli-
tan. a newspaper then published in
Georgetown. made this announce
ment:
Washington Light Infantry-A
company of soldiers has just been Or
ganized in the city. to be denominated
the Washingt ! Light Infantry. We
understand that t'e number amounts
at prese to 40 members, who are all
of them gentlemen of respectability
and good standing. This company
will be handsomely equipped and uni
formed, so as to make a respectable
and soldierlike appearance on the
18th of September. when they expect
to meet and join their Baltimore COM
panions in arms.
THE following gentlemen have been
elected officers of the Washington
Light Infantry:
u. A. Blake, captain.
Richard France, first lieutenant.
wv. H. Mauro. second Lieutenant.
John Mills. third lieutenant"
A few days later, on September 5,
the same paper states:
"We understand that the number of
volunteers into the Washington Light
Infantry, commanded by Capt. Blake,
has considerably increased since we
last noticed them. The company
amounts at present to about so, all of
them respectable mechanics or trades
men. From all that We have learned
relative to the military movements in
the city, there j. a very flattering
prospect of raising three or four new
companies of Cavalry and Infantry,
such as will do credit to the metrop-
oils and be of powerful advantage in
case of emergency"
During the uninterrupted existence

Of the Infantry from 1886 to Febru-
ary. 1861. when 1t went out of ex-
istence, fairly good records were kept
by this military organization. and
from the date Of its reorganization,
May Is, 1871, to 1887, when 1t be-
came part of the National Guard,
its records were well kept. In 1908.
when the surviving members Of the
Washington Light Infantry Corps were
forced to vacate their armory at Fiji
teenth and E streets, in the building
erected by them in 1884, and in which
w~s located Albaughs Grand Opera
House, there were two members of the
corps who had sufficient presence OF
mind to save the records, namely,

soon look upon their like again.
NATURALLY this virtually killed
the militia. However, out Of the
burlesque and ridicule came some
good, for in a brief while race riots
ensued, due to the attempt on the life
of Mrs. William Thornton, wife of
the architect of the Capitol. by her
colored slave. The trial of Reuben
Crandall, white man. charged with
endeavoring to incite insurrection
among slaves. helped to make a bad
situation worse and brought on the
Snow riot, in which an apparently
innocent. respectable colored man
named Beverly Snow was saved from
bodily harm only by his white friends.
The police force of Washington then
consisted of three men, and the burden
of restoring the peace and keeping
order thereafter naturally fell on the
shoulders Of the law-abiding public,
which at least. was able to prevent any
loss of life.
However, the harm had been done,
and the good had been done, for the

zens to realization Of the necessity
of a citizen soldiery. and, within a

Many are too young to recall this
wonderful body of men, and it is
virtually impossible to describe the
group as their elders knew the Wash
ington Light Infantry boys. Indeed,
it is nice to dream it all over again
and imagine We see this fine military
corps as it marched along historic
Pennsylvania avenue in white coats
and enormous SfakoeS, marching
some times in column formation,
some times executing fancy maneuvers
and then some times, to the delight
of all, stretched out in lines reaching
from curb to curb, as perfectly straight

WASHINGTON, April 3-Rec-
ords for tree planting in the United
States were broken in 1884 when
163000,000 trees were placed in
national and state forest lands.
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of
the American Tree Association,
announced today.
Indiana was among the five
leaders in this reforestation move
ment," he said. There were more
than 100000 trees planted in the
Hoosier state" The reports show
that New York led the list in state
planting with 40,564,292 trees
planted, and Wisconsin took sec
ond place with 14,857,5 sos trees.

were more than three times the
average planting of the years pre-
vious to 1888. With the estab-
lishment of the Civilian Conserva-

to speed up the planting from a.

in 1888 and 1887 acres in 1884"
