Glass Styles
Undergo
Chance
By BETSY CAsWELL

Womdn's Page Editor
Cleaned about town rela-
tive to up-to-the-m minute
table decoration
That colored glass in sets
is definitely on its way out.
This does not, of course,
apply to the delicately-
colored Rhine wine glasses,
with their variously hued
bowls, nor to the white hook
glasses, green-stemmed and
slender.
Ruby and white crystal glasses
for red wines are also permissi-
BILE, particularly the cut and
etched types. But glasses in
setS-that is, the necessary wine
and water glasses in matching
crystal-should be pure white.
Formal Dining
There is an old and excellent
reason tor this which comes to
us from preprohibition days. The
jewel colors of wines are best
displayed in colorleSS crystal,
with few exceptions listed above.
Many of the shops are show
ing really exquisite collections
of glassware, some so lovely that
it is hard to make a choice be-
tween them. AS a general rule,
for those who wish something
delicately beautiful, yet service
able, and at a reasonable price,
simplicity is the best rule to fol-
low, and thin, gracefully
shaped plain glass is always in
good taste.
The proper glass equipment
for formal dining, when re-
duced to a minimum, consists
of: Cocktail glasses, conical
sherry glasses, long-stemmed
white wine glasses, short, tulip
bowled red wine glasses, FLAIR
ing champagne glasses, water
glasses, small, tulip-bowled port
or madeira glasses, liquor
glasses, and tall highball
glasses.
Ice Bucket
One other luxury which is
really a necessity has appeared
in one of the shops recently
that is a brand-new version of
the ice bucket. This one is
made like a miniature wooden
washtub-side handles, copper
bandings and everything, and
is lined with a special thermos
arrangement which will keep
ice cubes intact and unmelted
for 16 to 18 hours, uncovered!

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Modern girls are too fast for

something about cooking and
how to run a house.

opener for my wife, and I in

was no can-opener. E. W."

cream. I cannot afford skin
freshener and have been using
witch hazel or cold water. I
have a dry skin.
Is ice dangerous to the blood
vessels if used on the skin?
Sincerely, P. B.
Dear P. B.:
Yes, witch hazel has drying
tendencies. If used on a dry
skin, it should be preceded and
followed by a cream. It may
also be combined with a solu-
ton of glycerine and rose
water. This may be used free
ly on a dry skin as it combines
soothing and softening with
astringent qualities. Combine
one part glycerine with two
parts rose water, then add an
equal amount of witch hazel.
Ice cubes should always be
wrapped in cheese cloth before
applying to the face. This is
especially true if the skin is
dry and thin. Tiny blood ves-
sells lie close to the surface,
and direct contact with extreme
cold is liable to disrupt them
or cause congestion, a condition
which is difficult to correct.

When Manners

Avocado Halves
Dear Mrs. Reeckman:

Avocado Halves
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
In giving a little informal
dinner, is it permissible to
place teaspoons with tiny oys-
ter cocktails? I have no oys-
ter forks.
In serving avocado halves,
should salad forks or spoons
be used?
GRATEFUL READER.
1t would be better to go
about your planning for this
dinner in the reverse way.
That is, if you haven't oyster
forks, I'd plan, if I were you,
some other course more con-
venient to your service. I
don't think it would be at all
convenient to place teaspoons
with the oyster cocktails.
Rather than make the lack of
convenient service conspicuous,
I'd always rather plan to do
something else" serve some
thing else. Why not, for in
stance, a fruit cocktail, with
which you could serve a tea
spoon?
Many people do serve salad
forks with avocado halves, but
I think that this kind of serv-
ice is better when we are
serving the avocado in small
slices, with lettuce. 1 find it
vastly more convenient to eat
halves of avocado, in which
there is dressing, with a spoon.

City Drainage To Be
Talked at Harrington
feDeciaI 10 ma Heraldl

HARLINGEN, July 1.-THE re-
turn Of Alfred Tamm, city engineer,
from a convention In California Is
being awaited to discuss tentative
plas for additional city drainage.
Mayor Sam Bolts said that the
city had not seriously considered
any projects under the new relief
set-up but that II drainage can be
provided with a minimum OF ma
terial that 1t might be attempted.
Heavy rains during the past two
months have emphasized the need
for more darinage, particularly west
OF the Missouri Pacific railroad. the
mayor stated. It Is believed that q
drain from the west side to the
arroyo might help considerably.
Water from the east side now
backs I'D water on the west side.
No one knows yet Just what the
procedure will be In obtaining work
projects under the new relief set
Ut because the organization has not
been completed but fun informa-
ton Is expected 70 be available
within the next few months.
Some other proposed projects
such as q hospital and swimming
pool have been under informal dis
cCssion by citizens OF Harrington but
as IN the case Of drainage, no actual
move has been made to seek the
necessary federal funds.

SENATOR and
ICKES CLASH
ON CHAR CES
Scion Says Secretary
Trying to Tell Body
How To Handle Its
Affairs

WASHINGTON, July IL. R9-The
controversy between Seer a
Tckes and Senator Tydings over
the conduct OF the Virgin Islands
Investigation has flared into one OF
the hottest clashes OF the year
Charges OF withdrawing" and
cheap publicity" are being tossed
back and forth.
In a letter published Thursday
the Maryland senator suggested To
Ickes that II he desires ito tell the
United States senate how TO con-
duct It's business" he should first
set elected to that body"
Tydings' letter followed Ickes
verbal demand that Federal Judge
r. Weber Wilson Of the Virgin
Islands be removed for Judicial
misconduct" and q letter from the
interior secretary accusing the
Marylander OF embarrassing" VIII
son In testimony before the inves-
tigating committee.
The row began when Tydings, as
chairman Of the committee, refused
to allow Ickes TO cross examine
Wilson, Paul G. Yates. former news
paper man. and other witnesses ap-
pearing against Governor Paul M
Pearson, whose administration OF
the Virgin Islands is under fire.
Wilson told the committee there
had been "administrati'R interfer-
ence" with his court. IN reply to
this, Ickes wrote Tydings:
There was no cross examination
TO test his truthfulness and II any
statement ever needed such q test,
It was his"
The interior secretary whose de-
partment has supervision over
American Island possessions, also
charged that Tydings and the in
vestigating committees lawyers aid
ed Wilson in "glossing over his
maladministration Of the district
court Of the Virgin Islands"

The first skirmish Of the war
with Mexico In 1846 was fought on
what was then known as the Josiah
Turner ranch In Cameron county,
The ranch Is on the banks OF the
Rio Grande. The site Is about e
miles west Of Brownsville and is
miles south of Harrington. The old
Josiah Turner home was occupied
by Capt. Thornton as his head
quarters and was the center OF the
skirmish. An old cannon was aft
erwards placed at the turn Of the
old Military Highway about one
half mile from the battlefield and
served for many years as one Of the
landmarks. In fact, that was the
starting point Of many OF the land
surveys. The cannon was moved

site and later placed on u concrete
foundation q short distance from
there on the new military highway

TRIAL BY ATTORNEYS

T AWYERS who criticise the way news
- papers cover criminal cases usually COM
plain that reporters and editors like to try
the case in the newspapers"
Any one who follows the daily reports of
the Hauptmann trial must feel, however,
that if this case is being tried in the news
papers" to any extent it must be the fault of
the prosecution and defense attorneys.
Is there anything in legal procedure re-
quiring these attorneys to issue lengthy
analyses of the testimony each evening? Any
thing requiring them to make lengthy fore
casts of what they are going to do to this or
that witness tomorrow morning? Anything
requiring them to tell how so-and-so hurt the
states case, or how whoozis weakened the
defense, or how tomorrow they will prove this
that or the other thing?
If the Hauptmann trial is leaking over into
the newspapers, it is the attorneys themselves
who are responsible.
