Inc place is WeSCmOreland SLaCe
Park along the Potomac and has
the welcome combination Of river
beach and shade. The beach ex
tends back for about so feet from
the rivers edge so there is still op
portunity presented to gain a full
quota of the sunshine vitamin D
The park is new and will not be
formally opened until the middle
of June but is open now for pic
nickers. The wooded section has
been Handicapped by the CCC
camps.
On the grounds are fireplaceS
and grills for outdoor cookery, rus,
tic cabins with stone fireplaces
that can be rented for the week
end or by the week. The natural
beauty of the place has in no way
been marred by these additions.
Near Wakefield
Within a few miles of the park
is Wakefield which you read about
last Thursday. The birthplace OF
two other Presidents is in this
same county-JameS Monroe and
James Madison.
It is worthwhile also to drive
over to nearby Stratford, the birth.
place of Robert E. Lee. This old
Lee place, now being restored, is
also in Westmoreland County.
The homestead, it is said, was
originally built in 1929 from re-
ward of three hundred pounds
given Colonel Lee by the English
government for fidelity in office.
To reach the park, drive out
U. S. Highway No. II to Fred,
ericksburg, Va, then take State
Road No. to the park. 1t is
approximately 100 miles from
Washington.
Since the facilities for outdoor
cookery are so complete, don't
fail to take advantage of them.
Cooking over the open fire is
very pleasant.
If you plan to eat Immediately
on arrival, broiled steaks should
be attempted. Potatoes, corn in
the husk, baked in the ashes Of
the camp fire is a never-to-be-
forgotten experience.
For those familiar with Scout
cookery, the first favorite will
be angels on horseback" and
kabobs.
The kabobs are made by taking
small squares Of round steak,
and thin slices of onion and
bacon. These are placed on the
end of a pointed stick in this
order: First, the two strips of
bacon, the onion, and ste k
squares. The bacon is then
wrapped spirally around the out
side and is toasted over the fire.
Outdoor Favorites
The angels on horseback have
to be cooked slowly over Goals.
They are made from cheese
squares and bacon. Unless done
slowly the cheese will drip out be-
fore the bacon is cooked. In doing
this, first put the inch square of
cheese on the stick and wrap
around it the strip of bacon.
When the bacon is done, the
cheese will be soft. Have a roll
convenient for your sandwich.
Another way-and a safer one
is to put the square of cheese
inside the roll, wrap the bacon on
the outside of the roll, firmly
plant on the stick and toast the
bacon slowly.

WOMEN are often accused
" of fighting their battles
with a lipstick. A bit of bright
color to touch up the lips,
and a woman is equal to deal
ing with any emergency-a
difficult husband, a hard
boiled jury, or simply the bill
collector. No other single
thing gives her such a feeling
of confidence and poise.
The lipstick is a time-hon-
ored weapon-which is all the
more reason we must WELD it
with care. 1t isn't enough
simply to choose a bright
shade of red and let it go at
that. Be sure, &rst of all, that
you get a lipstick that will
not dry the mouth. There IS
one now available that con-
tains a special oil to nourish
the lips at the same time it en-
hances their coloring. Because
of the oil base, it guards them
against the tiny cracks and
wrinkles that age the mouth
so rapidly. If the lips are
creamed faithful Y every night
and treated to a protective
lipstick, tiny wrinkles will dis
appear and the lips will be-
gin to look good five years
younger.
Accent on Lips
no NOT try to change the
~ contours of the lips when
you apply your lipstick. Doing
so tends to rob the mouth of its
character. If the mouth is
small, apply the lipstick more
heavily on the lower lip. If it
is too large, apply it more lightly
on the lower lip, and the mouth
will look smaller.
Touch the lips lightly with
cream after applying lipstick to
give moist fresh look. Never
wet the lips to achieve this ef-
feet, as wetting tends to coun-
teract the softening effect of the
ipStick. Be sure the shade of
your lipstick harmonizes with the
color of your gown and with the
fingernails. Even slight diverg-
ence in tone will spoil the whole
effect.
Next to the eyes, the mouth is
the most expressive feature of
your face. It deserves the very
best care you can give it. Prac-
tice smiling as religiously as you
do your setting up exercises.
Chewing gum as you smile is
one of the oldest, and one of the
best, ways of getting your mouth
to take on an up-at-the-cornerS
lift that won't desert you in
moments of stress. Massage just
under the cheekbones, using a
round and round motion, is also
excellent for the muscles that
control the mouth.

Soap Is Good
For Face
By DONNA GRACE

There are a number of mature
women who claim they find soap
injurious. They say it is too
irritating to the face, and feel
there is some kind of a virtue
in avoiding it.
This in most cases is a mis-
take.
Soap does soften the water
and really cleanses and tones
the skin little better than
other cleansing agents and-no
good soap should be injurious if
it is used correctly.
The oily skin, as we know,
needs frequent soap and water
cleanSings, and the dry skin, too,
may be improved by regular care
full washings.
This is the best method of
using soap on the face:
Select one of the nice white
soaps or any good toilet soap,
and with tepid water make a
nice creamy lather. Then use
the soft tips of the fingers to
massage the soap around the
nose and mouth and around the
eyes and ears.
Use the same strokes you do
for your facial massage, and be
very thorough in cleansing the
nostrils and the corners of the
mouth.
The whole operation can be
done in three minutes. Then a
thorough rinsing, and 1t is this
rinsing that will determine
whether or not the soap may be
harmful.
The very best soaps contain an
alkali which is the cleansing
agent, but no alkali should be left
on the skin. It is usually an irri-
tant when it remains in the pores.
So you can understand how i'm
portant is the rinsing and also
that all types of skin are improved
by good soap facial.
Dry skins should be covered
with an oily cream after these
facials. Then remove the cream
and apply your makeup.

LOVeIOrn
She's Lost All
Illusions
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Written Exclusively for The
WnShinoton Times

Washington Times
Dear Miss Fairfax:
When I finish telling you
all my troubles, I may not have
/ the courage to send my letter
Il am not young any more.
I've been married for II years and
have no children. During the first
years of my married life 1 knew
my husband ran around with
other women, but have never
proved it definitely until within
the last six months.
"We've had a good deal of trOu-
BILE. He has been i'll, lost all his
money, so that we had to sell even
our wedding silver to pay out
standing debts, and 1 have been
looking desperately for a job, any
kind of a job. But it's hard to
compete with youth when one
is 40.
Lately my husband had a little
turn Of good luck, and he was to
take me out to dinner to celebrate.
But that night he did not come
home until after l o'clock, and 1
was distracted thinking something
had happened to him.. And found
out later he had been out with a
woman. No question about it this
time, as I've seen all the notes she
has written to him. The story was
all there.
Life is so terribly hard. It's so
difficult to go on without any illu-
SiOnS. / hardly know which way
to turn. "HEARTSICK."
Please don't get the idea that at
40 life is over for you. According
to some authorities, life begins
at 40"
When a woman loses her illu
sions about her husband, she has
got to try to find some new ones
about other things. What are you
doing to fit yourself for this job?
Have you any equipment from for
mer employment? See your friends
and try not to take this domestic
situation too seriously.

UeaF MISS ta1rIaX:
DO you think a girl should be
held responsible because she lives
in a poor neighbOrhOOd and heT
father is not a successful lawyer
as mine is? This girl and 1 have
gone through high school to
gether; we've known each other
since we were little kids, and have
always been in love.
my parents fuss with me dread
fully about going with this girl
and say her family are no good
when they are only poor. l in
tend to marry her, but of course
I've got to go through college
first, and then get started to earn
our living. 1 am 10 and she is II
And as we've been in love ever

JOHNNY"
No, I shouldn't call it puppy
love, as you've been fond of each
other ever since you can remem
Der. But you've got a long time
to wait before you can prove to
your parents that your love fo1
this girl is the real thing.
When you go to college, it's
likely you may meet girls who
are interesting and charming, and
while you're away she may make
friendships with other young
men. Don't make too many
promises to each other before you
separate, and your mutual devo-
ton will be more assured. Iron
clad promises made at parting
often prove irkson1e in time.

CURB CONSIDERED
BY TEXTILE FIRMS
Mill Agents Favor Action,
but Wait in Vain for
Producers Plan.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 12.-Because the
recovery which has come to so many
industries In the last six months has
almost entirely eluded it, the cotton
textile industry is turning again to
the task Of self-analysis to determine.
II possible, its shortcomings.
There has lately been a circular
flow of discussion regarding the need
for curtailment of production. It
travels from the manufacturing cen
ters of the South and New England
to the local ofiices Of mill selling
agents and then back to the source
The agents readily agree that the
situation calls for action, but they
have so far waited in vain for a sign
that the producers have definite
plan.
Question Complicated.
Textile interests who are familiar
with the problem say the industry is
the victim Of a highly individualized
makeup. There are high cost mills
and low cost mills; and by groups
they specialize in the production of
varied lines Of cotton products.
Throw them all together and it
becomes patent Immediately. the ex-
perts declare. that a production
trimming scheme acceptable to one
group would be regarded as unfair,
If not ruinous, by another.
Nevertheless suggestions offering
methods of organized curtailment from
sections of the spinning industry itself
and from other divisions of the trade
have been receiving increasing promi-
nence in many of the cotton trade
journals.
Margins Unsatisfactory.
Most of them take the position that
since the industry. in spite of i'm
provement in general business and
wider and better markets for finished
cotton goods, has been unable to show
satisfactory operating margins, the
logical solution of the problem lies
in concerted action to retire enough
spindles to effect substantial reduc-
tions in output and inventories.
Only by such action, the sponsors
of the plans declare, will the primary
markets for cotton be lifted out Of
the present depression.
One proposal, outlined recently, and
said to have some support among
certain of the producers, would have
the manufacturers adopt a plan some
what along the lines of the spinning
redundancy act, under which British
manufacturers are now operating.
The objective Of this act is the
reduction of a substantial, but fixed
percentage of productive capacity.
But whereas the British act was
created by Parliament. it is proposed
here to have the cotton manufacturers
form corporation of their own to
lease at certain basic figure a speci-
fed percentage of spindles and take
them out Of production.

SHOE FIRMS SCORE
BROAD RECOVERY
Production From 3 to 6 Per
Cent Above 1885 as
Sales Mount.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special OlSpatcn 70 The star.
NEW YORK, May 12.-In spite of
one of the most severe Winters In the
past decade, which called for greater
use Of rubbers and overshoes, all
divisions Of the shoe and leather
trades reported substantial progress
during the first four months of 1885,
according to survey by Dun & Brad
street.
Production ranged from 3 to 6 per
cent larger than in the comparative
1885 period, wholesale volume was
ahead by to II per cent, while the
increase in retail sales ran as high as
is to 20 per cent. Volume buyers
have come into the market for larger
quantities since mid-April, and some
Of the cutting rooms have worked
close to capacity.
"This improvement has given an
suspicious start for continuing the
uninterrupted advance of the shoe
trade for the fourth successive year,
with indications that new high ground
may be entered. In 1885 a record was
established for shoe production, which
reached 383, ,761 ,499 pairs, rise of rs
per cent from the 1884 total and 6.2
per cent from the previous peak
reached at 361, ,4o7, 900 pairs in 1929.
In the first quarter Of 1896 this high
level was maintained, as output of
98,158,110 pairs surpassed all totals
for the comparative period in the
trades history.
Consumer resistance had not de-
veloped thus far to the moderate
mark-ups which retailers have made
on some grades Of shoes. as manu-
facturers have been slow to pass along
their higher materials and production
costs. Inventories, while well In hand,
are heavier than last Spring. Some
concerns do not regard the outlook
quite SO favorable as year ago, but
the general consensus is that a larger
volume will be recorded for all
divisions than in 1885,"
