Unlawful Vending of Liquor
Causes Dealer Complaint
Special to The Tribune.
WILLISTON, N. D, Nov. pa
protest against the illegal sale of
hard liquor was voiced here this
week by spokesman of the 20-odd
licensed beer dispensers of Willis
ton who started a movement to
memoriaize the city commission
for permission to sell such liquors
in order to enable them to contin-
lie in business, alleging in a public
statement that the illicit sale of
whiskey is forcing a legalized bus
mess to the wall" & charging that
this traffic is being carried on by
individuals outside of the beer bus
mess, blu. that the beer dealers are
being blamed for the resulting
drunkenness.
No appearance was made before
the city commission at this weeks
meeting, the beer men apparently
realizing that the sale of hard hq-
uoTs cannot be authorized under
existing North Dakota laws. Iii
evident, however, that they hope
by their protest to bring about
more rigid enforcement of all liquor
laws in the community.

The Washington times., 1935-03-01

The English regency is the
period drawn on for both clothes
and decoration, and in our
household fabrics it takes the
form of more elaborate treat
ments, which afford great op-
portunitieS to do something new
and different. At the windows
we have heavily draped va
lanceS, often in sWag treatments,
with side draperies very full,
floor length, and sometimes
draped up like the valances.
For such windows you will
find stripes, damasks, brocades,
taffetaS, satins, reps and quilted
materials. The regency colorS
are good too, most of them rath-
er full-colored rather than pale,
though they may not be clear
colors.
Flowered materials are more
popular than they've been for
some time. In fact, they make
up about so per cent of all the
fabrics, with the other half go
ing to simple patterns, period
designs and novelties. But the
flowers are usually simpler, more
realistic, with something of a
modern feeling. They are crisp
and CAV, with a fresh look that
The Washington times., 1935-03-01

will make them at home in al
most any room.
Patterns are almost too va
ried to describe, though you
will find types for all rooms,
some purely English in char
acter, for your Georgian homes,
some with chintz-like designs
for early American, large de-
signs, spaced patterns, and
so on.
Hand-printed linens are espe-
cially good if you want to make
your home look rather impress
sive, and you Can find them in
bold, splashy, sweeping pat
terms.
Stripes are good again, and
you can find them in all sizes
and types, from pin stripes to
bold Roman effects. They are
good in rooms with figured
wallpaper, dots, checks and so
on. Tropical prints are found
among the period and novelty
designs, and are rather large
and bold. They are good in
plain rooms of large proper
tions. There's enough news, in
fact, for another story, and we
will try to give you the rest

Easiest Way

The easiest way to dress a
small baby is to lay it on a table,
a soft pad under the little body.
His flannel band comes first,
and is slipped on over the feet,
not over the head.
The tiny shirt is the next
garment in order. Hold it in
such a position that, by insert
ing your own hand into the
sleeve you can draw the baby's
hand down and through-firSt
one hand, then the other. Be
as gentle, quick and sure in your
movements as possible.
When he is old enough to
notice, laugh at him as each
little fist emerges from the
sleeve-opening. Try to make
the whole affair something Of
a game, instead of an annoy
ance to baby.
Since dress and Gertrude
petticoat open in the same
place and fasten in the same
way, they may be put on to-
gether, thus cutting down a
few more motions in handling
the wriggling little body. These
garments are adjusted like the
shirt, with hand drawn through
sleeve

The Traveller Returns

The Traveller Returns
Although the traveller may re-
turn, to pace
The village street like any yokeI
there,
AS though his eyes had never
glimpsed the face
Of changeful seas and mist
wreathed mountains fair:
Still safely shrined within his
memory
Lie beauty's treasures, stored to
muse upon:
The Alps by moonlight, fields
of Picardy,
Old Cairo, with it's camel-trains
at dawn.
So I, since once within Loves
land I dWelt,
Find life holds nothing COM
monplace or stark;
Before a temple then my spirit
knelt,
And light which shone there
still diSpels all dark.
I am a traveller to dim ways re-
turning:
But I have seen a shrine with
white stars burning!

Make Your Hands Attractive

Every finger is a pointer these
days, calling instant attention
to the owners charm. For every
woman can be fascinating to her
finger tips-by obeying a few
simple manicure rules.
Appliances are important.
Often the best cost only a little
more, and have longer life. A
good steel file, for example
long and plable. Real orange
sticks that won't fray. The next
point is to use these tools prop
erly. No strong arm methods,
ever. No saving back and forth.
File in quick, light strokes
working upward from side to tip
Of nail. Model the nail into an
almond shape projecting slightly
over the finger tip. Finish shap-
ing with rough side of emery
board. Use fine side to beVel Oft
edge of nail.
Additional Steps
Other steps in successful
manicuring are to press back
the cuticle gently with an
orange stick. Next, a restful
soaking for the fingers in bowl
of warm, soapy water. Then a
thorough drying. And last, gen.
tly remove dead cuticle with an
orange stick tipped with cotton
and dipped into warm suds or
liquid cuticle remover.
Just word about unsightly
brittle cuticle. If you push it
back gently with the corner of
a towel after you wash, and rub
in cream or oil faithfully every
night, this brief daily care will
prevent the cuticle growing to
the nail and becoming hard and
ragged.

Perfume, without a doubt, in

sway over many a masculine

No Help Necessary
ar Mrs. Beeckman:

No Help Necessary
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am a young women, 26 years
of age. I live with my family
and we have no maid. When
a young man comes to call on
me, should I take his hat and
coat, and when he is leaving,
shall l help him with his coat?
ENTHUSIASTIC READER.
A woman does not take a
mans hat and coat when he
arrives, and she doesn't help
him on with his coat when he
goes. If there is a clothes
closet in the entrance hall of
her home, she opens the door
of it and says to the young
man, won't you put your hat
and coat there
A man waits to be given the
privilege of taking care of his
own hat and coat. He doesn't
want to be made to feel help
less. And practically the same
thing applies when he is leav-
ing. he gets his hat and coat,
and he puts on his coat, un-
assisted. If he is assisted, he
doesn't like it. It's misapplied
and inappropriate service on the
girls part.

With the shorter dresses, that
gesture which mothers of earlier
generations had to make con-
Stantly pulling down and
smoothing out an infants
crumpled and twisted petticoat
and frock-is not so often neces-
Sary.
Inserting baby into his gar
ments is a much more peaceful
process nowadays than it used
to be. Even the most loving and
gentle hands could not always
succeed in arraying yesteryear's
baby without rousing him to
walls of wrath. The probable
explanation is that-to use a
slang phrase-he felt his style
was being cramped, and resented
it. The tight sleeves, the folds
and punches of cloth, hampered
little limbs that longed for activ-

Mourning
Raeckmons


Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
There is a friend of ours who
lost her parent. This friend
is about 80 years of age. A.
thinks she should wear her veil
six months down over her face,
and then wear it thrown back
for six months. B. thinks
three months in enough to wear
a veil over the face.
Which is proper?-a mesh
veil with black border, or a
black silk with heavy border?
Who is right, A. or B.?
READERS.
So thoroughly indefinite have
become the customs of the
wearing of mourning that now
adays each one is left to his or
her own decision about what to
wear and how long to wear it.
All regulations" for mourning
have long since been aban-
doned, and instead of definite
rules we have left only our per.
Sonal choice in the matter.
About two years ago there
seemed to be only one definite
rule left. that the closest rela-
tives of the deceased wore wells
to the funeral.
Now even this suggestion has
practically been given up. How
ever, this should be reasonably
abided by, and if there is any
comfort or convenience to us
in wearing a veil, we should
wear one.
The same fundamental COM
mon sense and reasonablenesS
apply as the answers to all the
questions concerning wearing
mourning.
One seldom sees now the
heavy-hearted mourning wells,
either plain or crepe-bordered,
but there is no reason why we
shouldn't wear one if we wish.
And we should wear it or any
other detail of mourning for
as long or as short a time as it
gives any comfort to our spirit.

Many Advantages

But the average young
mother, in the home of mod
crate circumstances-the young
woman who, like Martha, is
"cumbered with much serving"
will welcome simplification Of
everything that has to do with
her baby's clothes.
The fewer they are, the
fewer to get ready. The shorter
the time she need spend in the
BUSINESS of dressing and un-
dressing. The less laundry work
for her. The less expense.
And all the while she will
know that she is keeping her
baby sweet, clean, comfortable,
free-and that the hours she
saves on his clothes she can
spend to better advantage on
meticulous attention to food
and general hygiene.

and America. I definitely know
men like it. For when I wear it,
they ask me what scent it Is.
And that does not always hap
pen when I am wearing more
expensive fragrances!
In fact there have been times
when men have candidly told
me that the fragrance I was
wearing did not please them.
So, lassies, it is. not always the
price that makes perfume de-
Sirable.
This particular perfume can
bear up under the shifting of the
connoisseur; and for little money
you can experiment with 1t
yourself.
I was extremely pleased to
learn that many Hollywood
damsels have listed it among
their best blends. And 1nez
Courtney came right out in the
open and said it was her favorite
and Inez can afford any blend
she desires!

DR.. DafOe Describes Easy
Method of Dressing
Small Baby
By DR.. ALLAN ROY DAFoE

Physician to the Famous Dionne Quintuptets
That baby is a baby-not big dolls point which
the young mother should remember not only in selecting his
clothes but in dressing and undressing him. Garments few
in number simple in cut, easily adjustable save the
mothers time and the baby's temper.
Long dresses according to the oldashoned definition
are now considered nadvsabe for very small infants
Twenty-seven inches is the maximum length advised
If you had to spend your time in horizontal position
would you a garment long and cumbersome that
you couldn't foot without becoming hopelessy en-
tangled? Use your imagination, and you'll see that tiny
baby feels exactly the way about it.

Try These Fish
Dish Recipes

There are many excellent
varieties of canned salmon
available in our markets and,
by using imagination and inge-
nuity. many good and subStan'
tial dishes may be made Of the
timed goldfish" as it was
known in the war.
In these days of high meat
prices it is well to make use Of
this standby as a substitute for
meat dishes several times a
week. Here is a splendid recipe:
SALMON SUPREME
Drain liquor from l can Of
salmon; remove bones and
skin; chop fine. Rub into it
until smooth 4 tablespoons
melted butter; season with salt,
pepper, l tablespoon minced
parsley, and 3 tablespoons
chopped celery. Beet 4 eggs
well, and add u cup rolled
cracker crumbs. Mix we'll to-
gether, with all the other in
gradients. Pack into a buttered
mold, and steam for one hour.
Turn out on heated platter,
surround with ring of peas,
cooked and seasoned, and pour
over all this sauce: Melt one
tablespoon butter, rub into it
one tablespoon cornstarch, add
slowly one cup hot milk, the
salmon liquor. Salt, pepper and
tomato catsup to taste. stir until
smooth and thoroughly cooked.
BAKED SALMON IN
PEPPER CASES
One can salmon, eight green
peppers, crackers, butter, etc.
Remove skin and bones from
the salmon. Season with salt,
pepper and onion or lemon
juice. Mix with an equal guam
tity of cracker crumbs moist
ened with butter-or leftover
stuffing can be used instead.
The mixture should be quite
moist-if not enough so, add a
little milk. Cut lenghtWise
eight green peppers. remove the
seeds, parboil for five minutes
and fill with fish mixture. Place
in baking oven, surround pan
with hot water and cook until
cases are soft, but now broken,
in moderate oven.
SALMON A LA CREOLE
Cook in two tablespoons but
ter one finely chopped green
pepper, one minced onion and
one chopped tomato. Add one
cup milk. Stir we'll until the
onion and the pepper are soft.
Add one can salmon, drained
and minced. Simmer until we'll
heated and blended, and serve
very hot.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you please tell me if,
when staying at a hotel for
some weeks, it is usual to tip
the waiter and chambermaid
at regular intervals every week
or so, or just when you leave?
I mean apart from any special
service. U.
1t is usually better for all
concerned if you give the fees
by the week.

Blue Matelasse

fitted, yet casual, topcoat have
rows of stitching for trimming.
The Washington times., 1935-03-01

be sure that the safety pins
are closed.
A new trick to keep dress
and petticoat clean is to put
next to the diaper a cotton
pad, then, outside that, a
piece of oiled silk. The petit
coat and dress may be over
Tapped over all, as the baby
is laid on his bed.
Of course. a mother may use
fine material for her baby's
little dresses, and embroider
them by hand, if she has time,
money and inclination and if
the embroidery is so placed
that it will not scratch or
chafe the delicate body OF the
