dance at a very swagger club on

not particularly intelligent, neither
could she be called a moron.
"Her lack of intelligence prob
ably accounts for the fact that
she's an outrageous flirt. Still !

Physical fascination is a good
deal like a paper blaze. It makes
a tremendous show of flame, but
it subsidies quickly. AS you realize
this perfectly, why consider TAX

repertoire of suitors, Anthony
came along.
If you will forgive the slang, in

ason When Poison Ivy Claims Many Unwary Victims
Best to See
Doctor If
Infected
By DONNA GRACE

Campers and strollers in the
shady lanes may not be in-
terested in botany or plant life
in any form, but there is one
lively little sprig they should
know on sight.
It's that wicked little plant
that nobody loves called poison
ivy.
One should really know this
plant so to avoid it on sight, as
it may be found anywhere among
the wild flowers along the road
side.
It is said to be a swamp plant,
but we have frequently seen it
in dry places among scrub trees.
Appearance
The leaf is separated into three
distinct appendages with sharp
pointed ends and usually ono
sharp indentation on either side
near the base of the appendageS.
The color is deep rich green.
You can find pictures of this
plant in the encyclopedia or at
your library. So why not make
its acquaintance in safe surround
ings instead of discovering it in
its own sylvan lair?
We think it advisable to re.
mind you of this noxious plant SO
you may be alert to its danger
and avoid it and also to tell
some of our readers that we do
not presume to offer a treatment
for it.
See a physician at once if you
are infected.
The Boy Scouts of America
have a great many first-aid treat
ments which may be called for
while they are on their hikes and
marches and out of proximity to
a doctor or hospital.
One Treatment
We are told their poison ivy
treatment is to bandage the in-
fected parts and soak the band
ages with a solution made Of
EPSON salts and bicarbonate Of
soda.
The bandages are wet thor.
oughly and when they become
dry they are removed and de-
stroyed and the process is re-
peated.
Keep the hands away from
the face and eyes and bathe
them in a solution to cleanse
them and wash with strong
brown soap and a good scrubbing
brush.
The boys say that this treat.
ment is usually effective. but we
believe, even though it does clear
up the trouble, some kind Of q
tonic may be necessary.
Dear Donna Grace: Will you
please give me the face-reducing
EPSON Salts Pack? Mrs. John S."
Dear Mrs. John S.-Please write
again and repeat your question.
I do not have space enough in
my column to give you the Ep-
som Salts Pack.
Mrs. Joan: Thank you for the
courtesy of your nice letter. I
am glad that you have had the
usual success with the milk pack
and that it has cleared your skin.
I do not give a treatment for
moles and must caution you to
have only physician give you
this advice.

vice on your beauty problems if

HAND MADE and hand embroid-
Ill cred slips for the very reason
able price of $2.95 are rare, indeed.
If you prefer hand made lingerie
you know that you nearly always
have to pay much more. These
are really lovely, hand stitched
as to seams, hand embroidered
and some lace trimmed. They
have a deep shadow hem across
the front and are bias cut. There
are several styles to select from
and they are in white or tea rose.

DEACH OIL, to keep you from
ID burning during the first July
vacation, is a most necessary
part of your equipment. Nothing
can really take the place OF
good oil if you want a gentle tan,
without blistering. One excellent
oil, which will give you just the
right amount OF protection
against the strongest rays OF the
sun, comes in a big bottle which
is in an oilskin case. This is
quite an advantage, as it's impos-
sible to keep oil away from the
outside of the bottle, after you've
handled it with greasy hands.
But if you return the bottle to
it's oilskin case, you can at least
keep the oil away from your
clothes. The soothing effects OF
the oil after burn, in case you
are rash enough to get one, are
quite beneficial, too. 1t is 81,
complete with case.

Bluebonnet Gowns

WITH TEXAS in the minds of
w the country right now, and
the Texas bluebonnet the most
popular flower for this summer,
we find it all through our ward
robes. Most at home it is on
some lovely nightgowns we found
downtown. They are of silk
crepe, printed in bluebonnets, and
the gowns are exquisitely de-
signed and beautifully made.
They are ruffled at the hem, and
at the Top have bluebonnet blue
satin made into tiny cords for
the trimming and the shoulder
straps. They come with blue
bonnet blue on white or on tea
rose grounds. They are 1895,
and will make a grand gift for
anyone to whom you want to
give something really nice.

Styles

Allure in every fold seems to
be the motto of the new evening
frocks made to enhance the
glamor of a summer night. Full
of charm is a frock of yellow Or
ganza, which is stiffer silk organ
die. It has crisp ruffles on the
shoulder, a neck high in front and
very low in back. In fact, the
back decolletage reaches to the
waist where there is a bunch of
tiny crimson roses.
Daylight dining calls for lovely
hats, either large or small, but
always frivolous. A swell number
is a toque of white grosgrain
with huge daisies nodding gaily
all over il.

A. A. A. SETS JULY 20
FOR MILK HEARING
Agreement Will Establish Mini.
mum Prices for D. c.
Area.

The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration has set July 20 as the
date for hearings on proposed milk
marketing agreement for the Wash
1ngton marketing area.
The agreement would establish min
1mum prices, with uniform schedule
for basic milk prices and other milk
It is the result of a request by the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association
The schedules of the proposed
agreement follow:
Class prices to associations Of pro-
ducers-$3 .08 per hundredweight would
be the minimum payable by each
handler to any producers association
for class milk bought at the handlers
plant from the association.
But this price would be subject to a
35-cent per hundredweight deduction
If the handlers plant is IS miles or
more from the nearest boundary of
the marketing area outlined in the
agreement, or if the milk is delivered
to the handlers plant as cream.
The $3.08 minimum would be sub
tect to the addition or reduction, as
the case may be, of cents per
hundredweight for each one-tenth OF
/ per cent above or below butterfat
content of per cent.
Glass l prices to producers-$2.80
per hundredweight-would be the min
imum paid by handlers to producers
subject to the 35-cent deduction un-
der the same circumstances which al
low the deduction in the case of mini
mum prices set for purchase by
handlers from associations.

First July 4th Celebration
Held 3 Years after Revolution

Fourth of July first was observed
as holiday with public levee at
the home of the President" in 1876,
three years after the close of the
Revolution, 1t is revealed in papers
brought to light by the historical re-
search department of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington.
The first OF these is letter from
Rufus King to E!bridge Gerry, both
of whom were members of the Con-
tinental Congress, then meeting in
New York It reads:
DIR Gerry, In consequence of an
order Of Congress a public levee was
held from II to ocl'k at the House of
the President at which were present
the members of Congress, Officers of
the Great Departments, Foreign Min
listers etc. etc. the Cincinnati are

lations to the President and members

etc. etc.
That same day the New York Daily
Advertiser printed an account Of the
celebration:
'"The morning was ushered in by
the ringing of bells and q discharge
of cannon. At IL o'clock a grand
procession (headed by city watch
men and closed by citizens) -. to

From whence they returned to Cores
tavern, where a cold collation. was
provided by the corporation. And

There follows an account Of the
meeting Of the Cincinnati at Cores
tavern in commemoration of the day,
at which suitable orations were de-
Ivered by Coils. Hamilton and Walker.

KEECH W|LLPRESS
CAB REDUCTION
IN NEXT CONGRESS
Public Utilities Acting Head
to Seek Cut to
1000.
announcement COMES
AS TESTS ARE HELD
Right to Refuse Further Licenses
Is Goal to Bring About Gradual
Decrease.

With Washington's 4,470 taxicabs
new standing their annual inspections,
Richmond B. Keech, acting chairman
of the Public Utilities Commission,
yesterday announced that when the
next Congress convenes he will again
ask that power be given the Commits
sion to reduce the number of cabs to
a maximum of 1000.
Such request was made to the last
Congress and a bill to authorize the
reduction was introduced Rush OF
other business, however, prevented
action on it just as many other
District matters became the victim
of congested calendar.
Sole Reduction Means.
THE present tests are the only means
the Utilities Commission has to
reduce the number of cabs licensed
here. The examination is limited to
mechanical fitness of the cars to be
used, and unless faulty mechanism
is discovered there is no way to re-
move a cab from the streets or to
refuse its owner license.
Keech's idea in asking for the new
law would be to reduce the number
of cabs gradually so as not to throw
any large number of persons out of
work suddenly. Voluntary retirements
from the cab business, he believes, will
reduce the number if new applications
may be rejected.
Within the course of year or two,
the number will automatically drop
to about 1000. That smaller number,
he contened, will relieve congestion
in the heavy traffice zones and at
the same time work to the benefit of
the cab men who remain in business
All cabs must complete their me-
chanical inspections by July Is.

OAKLAND, Md, July 4.-The bodies
Of two Catholic University Seminarians
were found early today floating on an
inlet to Deep Creek Lake, short dis
tance from where their canoe was be-
lieved to have capsized Wednesday.
The students, Alfred Schrieber, %,
of Faux Center, Mimi, and Francis
Rdzok, "a. Of Chicago, will be sent to
their respective homes following fu-
neral services here Monday.
The bodies were found by fellow
students from the nearby camp of the
Holy Cross Congregation at the House
of Studies. Catholic University. Wash
ington.
The bodies were stripped of clothing
except one wore a heavy jacket. The
finders believed the two tried to rid
themselves of clothing after the canoe
capsized.
Father Charles F. White said an in
quest would not be necessary. 1t was
believed the drow1lings were acci-
| dental.
Both were members of the Holy
Cross Congregation at the House of
| Studies, Brookland.
A search was started for their
bodies when the capsized canoe was
! found floating in an inlet about
miles from the camp. Both paddles
were on the surface of the water
| nearby.
Neither student was an expert
swimmer, and they apparently had
divested themselves of clothing in an
attempt to keep afloat. The searchers
we're spurred when they found two
pairs of trousers floating in the lake
Thursday night.

overturned There was no wind dur
