BLOND STANDARD
OF BEAUTY RATED
ABOVE BRUNETTE

The beauty standard of the blonde
Is higher than that of the brunette,
according to DIR. Charles r. Pabst,
chief dermatologist of the Green
point hospital, Brooklyn.
"The olive skin of a brunette Is
not easily married by mild inflam-
nation or a small eruption" he said,
"but the slightest irritation or blem-
ish is quickly noticed on the fair
skin of a blonde, due to her color
ing, which accentuates any skin dis
order. Therefore, the beauty stand
ard of blonde Is higher than that
of a brunette"
Discussing the relationship be-
tween persons skin and person
atty, Doctor Pabst said that a
peaches and cream complexion is
seldom a blessing" and that acne,
or pimples, "is natures check-rein
on the spirit of unbridled youth"
"The texture of the skin is chiefly
dependent upon the age Of the in
dividual. The school girl complex
ion belongs only to the school girl.
1t Is as foolish for the matron to
attempt to regain her glrlhood
skin as to reappear in pigtails and
pinafore. The flushed appearance
Of the peaches and cream complex
ion Is only too often the sign of the
beginning of an inflammation Of the
skin, or the blush-not of sweet six
teen-but of feverish condition.
"Seventy-five per cent of the cases
Of acne occur between the ages of
fifteen and twenty-five. 1t is truly
the bane Of youth, and young people
afflicted with pimples deserve SYM
pathy, for they suffer great humilia-
ton and embarrassment.
"It seems strange that disfigur-
ing eruption like acne should appear
at the time of life when the personal
appearance means so much. Perhaps
it Is natures check-rein on unbridled
youth-an injunction handed down
by nature, restraining vain youth from
too frequently overstepping the
bounds of convention"

Two Species of Peafowl;
Can Endure All Climates

In a bulletin of the New York Zoo
logical society it is pointed out in an
article by Lee S. Randall, curator Of
birds at the New York Geological park,
that Solomon is credited as the first
owner of the peafowl or peacock out
side India. The peafowl, while a ma
tive Of India and Java, is readily adapt
able to all climates. The readiness
with which the peacock has accepted
the conditions of captivity in all Sec
tons of the world and in all kinds of
climate Randall says, has made them
so common as to cloud our appraisal
somewhat, but the fact remains that
them in beauty of form and celebration.
''There are two species of peafOwl,
the Indian. or blue, and the Javan, or
green" Randall says in the society's
bulletin. 1.-The Indian fowl is native
of India and Ceylon. II keeps to the
low country, seldom going above 1000
feet. Although 1t is naturally accus-
toned to the steaming heat of such To-
calities, it nevertheless has the ability
to endure, without discomfort, temper
atures well below zero Fahrenheit 1t
is this adaptability which has allowed
the bird to be enjoyed in most coun-
tries of the world. The male Indian
peafowl is characterized by the deep
blue neck and breast, the long. deli
cate and wonderfully eyed train
formed by the upper tail coverts, and
the fanlike crest on the head The
female is a dull gray In general with
the neck and upper breast iridescent
green"
Randall adds that, besides the typi-
cal bird. there are three other color
varieties: black-shouldered. the white
and pied.--New York Herald Tribune

he spent another hour with Able, try

Mr.. Melons Art Gift to
The American People
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The decision Of Mr.. Andrew Mellon
to bring his fine art collection to
washington Is gratifying to all art
lovers. His generosity to the COM
munity shows that some wealthy men
do use their means for the public vel
fare and should silence to some extent
the cry Of q certain type Of individual
who forever condemns the wealthy or
even well to do and claims they are
all parasites and grinding down the
poor and less fortunate, for here Is
q man who contributes an art collec-
ton that even the poorest man and
woman can enjoy. I notice that often
the people who condemn others as
rule are the ones who do the least
for humanity themselves, and the
Communists and the Socialists who
begrudge the means that others
possess often ignore the fact that many
people do today use their money for
the general good of all and give, like
Andrew Carnegie, money for libraries
and art galleries and hospitals, etc.
do not see the Communists, who would
destroy all private wealth If able, do
ing much for society or the advance
ment of humanity, and their cry Of
the rich grinding down the poor" is
false In many cases, as we all know
the rich have lavishly contributed 10

what employment 1t Is put tot has
been said that 'by doing good with
his money, o man, as 1t were. stamps
the image of God upon 1t and makes

And at its worst the dollar mark
still is a representation of labor. It
connotes toll, and therefore may be
regarded as an "integrating principle"
not utterly to be despised. But it also
is related to national honor, to the
stability Of constitutional government
and to patriotism-factors In the Ma
tons life and In the peoples existence
which need no apology nor excuse as
cohesive forces OF the highest con-
structive significance.
It may be added that the pedagogs
have been, perhaps unintentionany,
unfair to Pittsburgh. The city's ma
terialism is q common fault, not pecu-
liar to itself, and 1t should not be for
gotten that the community likewise
has an idealistic side. Stephen COL

proof Of contributions made to human
enterprises which should appeal to
university professors as being "inte-
grating principles" not altogether un-
important.

arousal Of public apprehension and
the stimulation Of safer driving by
means of public meetings and appeals
an effort should be made to correct
the faults in the regulations. espe-
cially with respect to the pedes-
trians. who contribute the largest
share of the accident total. Under
the present rules and signal systems
they are in constant peril. their op-
portunities to cross streets being
greatly reduced by the turning ma
neuvers of the vehicles. The timing of
the signal lights can be improved, to
the advantage of both pedestrians and
drivers.
It is not enough to teach people to
use the streets with caution and to
Grive with care and consideration for
others. For there are many who are
unteachable, who habitually disregard
rules, who drive at excessive speed.
They are the crux Of the problem.
Their elimination as drivers Is re-
quired. At present the extreme
penalty of revocation Of license Is
rarely applied, whereas 1t should be
administered frequently. until the
habitually reckless driver is removed
from the streets.
Out of this campaign for safety
should come an agreement on the part
of the local authorities, including the
legislators, for the drastic revision OF
the penalties. with assurance OF
competent police service to make the
rules effective.

years. And one can get through an
atom Of Radium c, the shortest lived
of the elements, once in a ten-thous-
andth of o second. For there the
distance to be traversed is about Q
trillionth Of o centimeter and the
particle is moving at q speed OF q
billion centimeters second. II no
difiiculties were encountered the re-
action should proceed at the rate Of
once in a sextrillionth of second.
But in both cases. considered from
the point of view of classical mathe-
mates, the alpha particle couldn't
get out, for its energy is too small
and the walls too thick for it to get
through. It IS in precisely the posi-
ton of the bullet striking an obstruc-
ton a centimeter thick with only half
the energy necessary to get through.
The nearer the energy approaches
that actually required to penetrate the
wall the better the chance that the
impossible" will happen. The chance
happens to oe very great in the case
of thin walled Radium C, very great
in the case Of much heavier uranium,
and impossibly great in the case of
the man in the closed cell.
The introduction of Prof. Gamows
wave mechanics hypothesis into the
field of radiation literally explains the
unexplainable.
Under any common sense" hypoth-
esis, radioactive disintegration either
would be an instantaneous process
dependent only on the speed of the
alpha particle-or 1t could not pos
sibly take place. The speed of the
process would not depend upon the
element. yet physicists knew that this
speed proceeded at very different and
very precise rates.
The speed of alpha particle emmis-
sion, in fact. was so precise that it
provided the most accurate time
scale for measurement of the age Of
rocks in which radioactive elements
with slow disintegration rates were
found.
Hence, says Prof. Gamow, since the
observed facts did not agree with clas-
sical mechanics the old explanations
had to be discarded. They could be
considered only fair approximations
which had served their purpose.

Europe's Struggle for Peace.

Europes struggle to lay new foun-
dations for peace, menaced afresh BY
Germanys rearmament plans, has
advanced another stage with this
weeks Anglo Russian exploratory"
conversations in Moscow. There are
indications that progress is being
achieved, though concrete results are
not yet discernible.
Capt. Anthony Eden's negotiations
with Litvinoff and Stain are con-
cerned with ways and means Of
thwarting the general dangers threat
ened by Hitler's program. Soviet ef-
forts are primarily concentrated upon
convincing Great Britain Of the neces-
sity of curbing the Reich's aggressive
ambitions in Eastern Europe, as we'll
as in the region Of the Rhine, to
which British interest in German
maneuvers hitherto has been re-
Stricted. Until Britain has completed
her soundings at the various CONT
mental capitals, which set in with the

vinoff Stain Eden conversations at

mented by Capt. Eden's talks with
the Polish government in Warsaw.

About all that can be said with pos

peoples, for economic union with

rest of Europe with an unmistakable
resolve to league itself against what

peril.
Just how that can or will be ac-
complished is for the time being
problematical. Hitler at any rate
must be amply convinced by events of
the past fortnight that the Nals are
not going to be permitted to lord it
over Europe without some kind Of
United remonstrance and resistance.

possibly make It squarely on the hour7
A watch In the pocket would do such
folks no good. They are the chron-
ically late.
Templeton Jones, being Q punctual
man, believing In 1t. goes to extremes.
He has two alarm clocks, one elec-
trio. one wind.
He sets the first at 4:30 an, the
second at am.
When the electric alarm buzzes, he
puts UP with the noise as long as he
can, then he gets out of bed, turns
on the buzzer, and goes back to sleep
again.
Half an hour later the spring alarm
clock tunes up, but he permits 1t to
run clear down.
In between his two clocks he has
enjoyed those sweetest Of all mo-
ments, In the half-doze which follows
the first alarm clock.
This is an idea which Jones would
like to suggest to all persons who
want to get the most out Of life.
Every one knows that to be able to
roll over and 60 to sleep again, or re-
main In doze. after the alarm rings,
Is one of the real joys of modern life.
Few seem to have thought Of the
two-clock idea, however.
~ -
As far as Templeton Jones knows
to the contrary. he is one of the few
persons in the world with a fountain
pen, If he can judge by the regularity
with which all of his friends ask him
for the loan of 1t.
Despite the many and glowing ad-
vertisements Of these writing instru-
ments, Jones knows dozens of men
who must look around frantically for
an ink bottle and q steel pen every
time they desire to sign a check.
Either that, or they ask Jones for
his.
Templeton has even gone to the ex-
tent Of suggesting that modern pens
are cheap and seldom leak in the
pocket
It does no good.
Everybody demands his personal
pen.
There Is Iron Grip Bill, who presses
down heavily.
Even the pen that is guaranteed to
Withstand q leap from Pixies Peak
cannot ever write quite the same after
Iron Grip Bill gets hold Of it.
So Templeton Jones has gone to the
extreme of keeping his coat tightly
buttoned when Bill is around.
Surely it is curious thing, how a
man who would never think of asking
for the loan of watch will ask for a
fountain pen without batting an eye.
Often enough he will use it, then
calmly put 1t into his own pocket, fore
ing the wary owner to keep an eye on
| it all the time it is in action.
This little problem Of the everyday
has been solved by the astute Jones
easily enough.
He takes the pen OF the clip and
slides it down in his pocket, so that
| it is not visible to possible borrowers.
The only trouble comes when he
happens to stoop over, say to pick up
a fallen paper.
Then the pen slides out on the floor,
right in the face of Iron-Grip Bill.
"Ah! loan me your pen, old fellow"
he chortles.
Selling it, he pushes it down on
paper until the nibs spread widely,
never to come together again.
Templeton Jones groans and wishes
the manufacturers would redouble their
campaigns. With America nine
tenths penless. the field is wide, he
! feels.

A Safety Campaign.

Another traffic safety campaign to
reduce the high mortality rate in the
District of Columbia has been organ
lied with the appointment by Com
missioner Hszen of a committee Of
citizens. The campaign will begin
April II and will be conducted through
newspaper publicity, radio addresses.
meetings. motion pictures and posters.
1t is described as a sequel to a recent
appeal by the President for unified
trafnc laws and for a concerted effort
to reduce the heavy traffic toll in this
country.
Everybody Is concerned In this en-
deavor to lessen the perils Of the
streets and to prevent the needless
sacrifice Of life to speed and reckless.
ness. There Is no assurance Of safety
ct present for anybody. The people
who walk and those who ride in motor
cars are all equally endangered. No.
body is safe as long as the trafic rules
are disobeyed and incompetent drivers
are permitted to range the streets and
roads.
Safety campaigns have been con-
Quoted before, with temporary results
in the abatement Of the casualties.
But their effects have not been last
ing. The mortality records have
steadily mounted until Washington Is
one of the most dangerous cities in
the country in this respect. One rea-
son is the dinaculty met in the Sc
curing of corrective legislation. An
other is the intense concentration Of
traffic owing to the simultaneous
starting and ending Of Government
work, which Is now being somewhat
relieved by a plan Of staggering" the
hours.
