Assembling Relief Machinery.

The only significance that anybody
ever saw in the original choice of
Frank c. Walker to be executive di-
rector of the National Emergency
Council was the Presidents great con-
fidence in devoted. unselfish and
able worker. There is the same signif-
cance in his recall, after an absence
Of about year. not only to step back
into that position, but to assume the
new task of presiding over the small
end of catch-all funnel. which the
President has decided to establish as
part of the machinery for spending
the $4,800,000,0OO work-relief fund.
This funnel is to be officially known
as the Division of Applications and
Information of the National Emer-
eency Council. Into the top will pour
al the thousand and one schemes of
Federal, State and local governments
and of other governmental and pri-
vate agencies for improving the state
of mankind by spending relief funds.
Mr.. Walkers job is apparently to be
the analysis and classification of the
schemes, according to their practica-
bility, location, usefulness and the
number of persons to be employed.
From the small end of the funnel the
schemes will drip. or flow in to the
Works Allotment Board, which will
be described in a few days in an an
nouncement from the White House.
1t is understood that Mr.. Walkers
new division will not approve or dis
approve plans. merely putting them
into shape for final action by the
Works Allotment Board. which will be
presided over by the President and
which will include in its makeup the

A Rhyme at Twilight

Old Masters

He has but one absorbing passion in
his life
His store
Long since he gave his heart to 1t, and
More and more
1t has enthralled him by its treasured
stock
OF objects purchased from the auction
block,
Long galleries of portraits done in oi
Rare paintings brought to life b
arduous toll.
Yet when the sun and shadows inter
lace
At dusk he visions an idyllic face.
A woman, whose rich tints he migh
adore
Even more rsptly than his old a
store.
His eyes are wet as in the mellowd
light
She smiles at him, and drifts out
the night.

More Armaments.

AS the European crisis precipitated
by Germany's reversion to pre-war
militarism takes kaleidoscopically new
form from day to day, one thing stands
out with crystal clearness. That is
that Europe is on the threshold of
new orgy of competitive armaments.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES f. TRACEEELL.

Men have been shaving every morn
ing for so many thousands Of years
that one might think they would have
learned how to do it by this time,
Raw, sore faces. however. show the
least critical that hundreds by nc
means really know how to shave. as
strange as that may seem.
1.-The best way to get good
shave" that was the unusual re-
quest contained in a letter to this
department the other day.
The only reason for attempting to
answer it lies in the simple fact that
many do it all wrong.
While the main fault lies in a poor
razor, the man behind the blade too
often is to blame, If he shrinks from
this morning task.
He may let custom and lack of ex-
perimentation keep his face red.
X X
He should, Of course, begin with a
sharp blade
He may attain this with either an
old-fashioned straight or modern
safety razor, but since the vast ma
jority OF men who shave at home use
the latter, we will consider it alone
Real experimentation must be made
for the individual 10 discover the in
strument with which he, personally,
gets the best shave.
No matter what his friends. his
brothers. even his sisters, use. he must
find the best one for himself
That done, and it may take years,
he must see to it that the blade is as
sharp as he can make it.
The BARRIERS of the ages must be
right. They always use a strop. and
surely thin piece OF steel. of wafer
proportions, needs some smoothing
down.
Blades should not be sharpened
after the shave. This is a mistake
The tiny teeth in the edge are out
of alignment, and time alone will
carry them back to the position when
the strop will do good.
The time to whet the razor is just
before shaving
1t ought to be needless 10 suggest
that scrupulouS cleanliness is neCes-
Sary. but far too many persons put
blades away without carefully wiping
them dry.
The best way to do this is to keep a
supply of old towels which are about
worn out. and which the shaver may
use freely. carefully Wiping the blade
and edge until every drop of moisture
is gone.
X
Use of cold water is essential
What. Cold water? Why, every
one says hot
That is lust The trouble.
Every one savsi
This great every one" however
is largely responsible for the strain
Of shaving, and all the raw faces YOU
see.
Cold water. even icy water will help
as nothing else will.
From beginning To end. no hot
wafer should touch the face
1t is true that the beard will not
be quite as soft. but il isn't the soft
ness OF the whiSkers. after all. which
makes the easy shave. but the sharp
blade and the tough skin.
Since hot water is not to BE- used.

This is achieved by preliminary

Fort Myer Maneuvers Wit.
messed by Distinguished
Gathering.

Before 4 distinguished and enthu.
siastic gathering. the new riding hall
at Fort Myer received its baptism
OF fire. acrobatics and colorful pag-
eantry yesterday afternoon and last
night.
Marking the formal debut" OF q
structure which replaces the ancient
building destroyed by fire last Spring,
the officers and soldiers Of the Vir-
ginia Army post yesterday presented
one Of their best military dramatics,
renewing the public acquaintance with
the skillful maneuvers Of troops, aug
mented by a few civilian interludes.
First call on the roll Of honor went
to Col. George S. Patton. jr.'s mag
nificently conceived and executed pa
rade of the United States Army's
history. depicted by a series Of units
clad in the fighting costumes worn
since theColonies battled for inde-
pendence. Carried out perfectly to
the ultimate detail, the historical pa
rade told the story Of Americas mill
tary forces through rebellion, the Sec
ond war of 1912, Indian fighting. Civil
War, the initiation of colored troops
and participation in the World War
To the steady beat of appropriately
dated martial music, file after file Of
costumed warriors circled the tanbark
ring, supplying the spectators with
q scholarly and picturesque tale OF
our past in warfare.
Third Cavalry Salute.
With the exception of the intro
ductory number, the program followed
familiar lines for those who have
annually enjoyed Fort Myers exhibi-
ton rides. A squadron from the Sd
Cavalry paraded and offered its salute
to the guests of honor, including Sec
retary Of War and Mrs. Dern. the
Secretary of State and Mrs. Hull. Mrs
Ickes, wife Of the Secretary of In
terror: high officials of the War De.
partment and members Of the for.
eign legations.
Then. Troop E Of the Sd Cavalry
staged its notably well-timed and pre-
else jumping ride. A platoon of hand
some debutantes from the city rode
forth in gay garb, galloped through
an intricate drill and came OF with
loud approval. despite occasional minor
misfortunes OF its members.
Next, the 18th Field Artillery's c
Battery. known from the District line
to Madison Square Garden as the

caissons through swift and compli-
Gated series Of movements, impossible
for all but the most skilled Of postil-
