(Tkis is the second of a
series of articles ON places
near Washington to motor
for summer picnics.)
Beverly Beach for many
years has been a favorite spot
for family piCnics. Located
along the cool Chesapeake Bay,
the beach gives ample chance
for the youngsters to splash
in the shallow water while
mother and dad swim and &C
quire a becoming coat Of tan.
The beach is wide and sandy
and a well built net has been con-
structed, so I have been told, to
keep out the sea nettleS.
Here boating and fishing are
both featured, so if you enjoy this
sort Of thing you can drive out
early in the morning with a we'll
packed lunch box and have a per-
feet days treat in store for you.
The facilities for picnicking are
good including ample parking
space, and many tables for the
use of which the management
makes no charge. If you wish you
can even rent gay-Striped parasol

stuffed olives, 2 cans Of potato
chips, box Of crackers, and
cheese. The cost is $1.3S-cer-
tainly very reasonable.
Suggestions
There is a chance, too, to
choose your own aSSortments.
Picked pigs feet in a jar large
enough for four cost % cents and
go well served with potato salad.
Jars Of sliced tongue come
packaged in glass for sandwiches
to be made up after you unpack
your luncheon.
In adding a distinctive flavor to
your ham spreads try olive butter.
This made from ground stuffed
olives blends beautifully with the
flavor of ham or pork. For beef,
try the sweet pepper Spiced relish.
Spiced peaches with ham are
good. The large size can averages
eight peaches to a can. A similar
sized can of apricotS has ten halves
Of spiced fruit.
The pimento cups that we have
written up before should not be
forgotten in picnic planning.
These cups are good for sea food
or chicken salad. They keep these
and vegetable salads in firm place
on the plate, which will by this
time be already filled to overflow
ing.

Then came the bombshell! The
departing shepherd accused his
old flock of taking dope, of living
continually on dope-because, he
said, they lacked the courage to
face realities, to stand up to life
in the raw and take it on the
chin.
Instances
When a woman discovered her
husband was unfaithful, she
rushed to the dope which made
her forget, even for q little while.
When unemployment and poverty
ground the soul Of a young man,
and he gritted his teeth when he
saw his beloved claimed by some
one else-he rushed to his pancea,
the dope to be had on every side.
If a boy or girl lost freshness in
shop or office by fatigue and
routine, dope was the cure-all.
BY this time the congregation
was sitting up like so many ex-
clamation points, with a puzzled
dk1O S14S14O4y u40AS1Ad11L 44V"
come!" written on their faces.
Some were whispering in pro-
test, some were shaking their
heads and frowning. Young peo-
pie were tittering. Subdued tumult
was evident in every pew.
Then came the denouement.
The dope the congregation was
swallowing wasn't morphine, CO.
caine, heroin or even one Of the
milder coal tar products. It was
nothing more heinous than going
to the movies.
Some of the congregation
laughed, and some-women, Of
courSe-bridled Indignantly. felt
like shaking the man for suggest
ing to people that in trying to
find a little ease for their burdens
they were doing anything wrong.
Heaven knows, most Of us are
dragging a load out of proper
ton to our strength. Muscles
ache, CALLED shoulders are wrung,
and. if for a little while We can
forget by a glimpse Of something
outside our aching consciousness
why should anyone care?
The reverend gentleman didn't
happen to like movies. Some peo.
pie don't. Others don't like dane
ing or radios. Ia
Why feel superior to those who
do like such simple WAYS and
means Of forgetting, for breath
ing space, ever-preSent burdens?
That particular clergyman has
more expensive tastes. He col
lects fine old editions Of the clas-
sizes. He travels widely every
summer and he keeps q hmou'
sine.
So I couldn't resist the ten1pta-
ton Of saying to him, later, that
I hope the wife who is worried
over a philandering husband, and
the boy who is unhappy because
he can't marry the girl he loves.
and the young people who grow
tired and stale from routine and
fatigue, will keep right on taking
their movie dope in larger doses.
And his wife, who stood by,
said: That's what ] keep on
telling hirn-women know" And
+ couldn't keep from wondering
if the good lady needed a little
movie dope Of her own now and
then.

Beauty
How to Train
Fluffy Hair
BY DONNA GRACE


Fluffy hair may be quite fiat
tering to some faces, and 1t al
ways suggests q youthful hair
style.
The hair Of the mature woman
Is more likely to be rather flat
and close to the contour Of the
head, so when the fluffy style is
becoming, it is advisable to wear
it as long as possible.
There is, however, the fine
flyaway, unmanageable type OF
hair that will give one a care
less, disheveled look if it Is not
confined and trained in an or
derby style.
The best way to train this type
Of hair is by regular brushing
and oil treatments. Two or three
good brush treatments a week
will train any type of hair. but
for the dry, fine hair, oil or
pomades are necessary.
The oil is applied to the scalp
and only q very little is neces-
sary-just the tip of a finger in
the oil, and then rubbed on the
scalp is the best way to use it..
Then part the hair and brush 1t
thoroughly.
Enough of the oil will be car
ried out through the hair to
lubricate it slightly so 1t can be
placed in any wave pattern.
A soap or oil shampoo may be
use, but frequent egg sl1ampooS
are very helpful. Beat the whites
and yolks Of two eggs separately.
Then massage the scalp, first with
the yolkS and then with the
beaten whites.
When all Of the hair has been
covered and rubbed with the eggs,
let it alone for a few moments
before rinSing.
Tepid or cool water IS always
used, but frequent egg shampoos
Hot water will curdle the eggs
and destroy the cleansing effect.
A lemon rinse is always nice after
such a shampoo.

Season Of Crash

CRASH seems to be one of the
" seasons Smartest fabrics, no
matter where you find it. It's now
quite popular in home decoration,
and you'll find it particularly prac-
tical for summer. It is often en-
broidered, sometimes bound in
color, and may be had in cotton
or part linen. A nice material
called peasant crash, which is part
linen, is embroidered all over in
color, in a tiny dotted design, and
is most effective. You can get

Man IS a creature of habit. Most
of our actions and most of our So
called thinking are what they are
because we have acquired the habit
of going through a fixed routine
and don't have iniative enough to
change our habits of work and
! thinking.
l think this inherent trait of hui
man nature lies at the bottom of
of the failures to change the
world overnight. Reformers of all
types are prone to overlook the hold
which habit has on the human ami
NAL. 1t would MO be difficult to
make the world a much better place
to live in for everybody, if only
enough people could be Jared our
of their habits of living and made
to see that there are better ways of
doing things than those to which,
they are accustomed.
.aM
RUTS -. get deep
Most of the world runs in ruts.
We stay in our ruts because it is
easier than to try to get out of
them, or because our fathers before
Us travelled in the same ruts. The
deeper the rut, the longer people
have moved in it, the harder it is to
get~out Of it.
The only really free individuals
are those who succeed in getting
out Of. the ruts in which their fell
lows are moving. Once in the rht,
Fhs Individual IS merely one 5f Ihe
crowd. He is not free to move "a
any direction except that in which
the crowd is moving. He has to
follow a pattern or a trail marked
out for him by Others.
No man is entirely free from
some sort of restraints. The worst
slaves, however, are the ones who
could be free but who prefer to
stay in the rut and revile the more
enterprising ones who have sue
eeeded in climbing out of it. 1t
is human nature never to shoulder
the blame for ones own condition,
but to try to find a scapegoat who
is responsible for all of ones indi-
vidual troubles.
STUPIDITY an obstacle
Nobody can watch the world
go by for as many years as I have
been permitted to do so without
coming to the conclusion that the
chief obstacle in the way Of human
progress is not greed or tyranny
but stupidity. Show me a man
who prides himself on being con-
.servative, and, nine times out of
ten, I will show you that this So
called conservatism is merely stup-
He has been taught, or has
taught himself, certain fixed rules
which, to his stupid mind, chart
the only perfect course of life. He
refuses to listen to any suggestion
that a new way or a different way
of doing things might be better
for everybody, including himself.
l do not mean to suggest that
the new way or the different way
is always the better way. What I
am trying to say is that the true
conservative, if he is intelligent,
will look at any new ideas with an
open mind and an impartial eye,
instead of dismissing them from all
consideration merely because they
do not conform to his preconceiv-
ed ideals.
