Importance
Of Creams
And Oils
Cleansing, Lubricat-

Needed for Skin.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

YESTERDAY we studied the three
= chief cases of creams: The
cleansing. lubricating and finishing
types. The average woman needs all
three,
For instance. there are pore creams
to contract large pores, variously
called pore cream, pore reflner, pore
paste and so on.
Then there are healing creams or
antiseptic creams-called acne cream,
antiseptic cream, healing cream, heal
ing ointment, skin ointment, salye
and so on.
Then there are creams for stinl-
ulating the circulation. They may
be called stimulant or stimulating
cream, circulation cream or circula-
ton ointment. Many of them are
brownish in color. The majority of
them make the skin smart or sting
and tingle after short time. Coarse,
sallow skins, oily skins, Older skins
particularly those that look lusterless
are benefited by the use of such a
preparation.
Special eye creams have been de-
veloped in the past decade for the
delicate tissues around the eyes. Also
special wrinkle creams. For skins
that are very fragile, delicate or just
beginning to show wrinkles these
creams are excellent. Usually the
creams are not quite so heavy as
lubricating cream, yet they contain
very rich oils.
When we have covered the chief
classifications of lotions In our next
article, we will have complete out
line of the proper way to apply each
type of cream and lotion, too. Don't
miss the series. and the important
thing to do is to check the para
graphs that you need thus compiling

None of the four got down to break

They often left the house with untidy
hair and nails that were none too

DOROTHY DIX.
"DEAR MISS DIX: What's the
matter with people who dump
their youngsters on the whole neigh
borhood? Why don't mothers realize
that they should keep their children
home once in a while in mercy to
other women? There Is a family liv-
Ing near me that has two little girls
who simply live at my house. At lunch
time I tell them to go home. They
say that their mother doesn't get
them any lunch and they sit down at
my table and ask for something to
eat. I wouldn't mind 1t so much II
they were clean, but they are as dirty
as pigs. am getting so that when
I see them coming I could scream.
Please tell me what to do.
MRS. B.
Answer-Report their mother to the
Society for the Protection of Children
from Cruelty. Perhaps the shock she
will get when she finds out that her
neglect of her children is a public
disgrace and that they are likely to
be taken away from her if she does
not look after them better will bring
her to her senses and make her take
better care of them.
A NYWAY, If she knows that her
treatment of her children is a
neighborhood scandal and that all
the women are looking at her askance,
chances are that she will move. But
there are lots of women who dump
their children on the neighbors. When
they want to go downtown shopping.
to CAD the streets or to go to the
movies, they simply turn the poor little
creatures out on the street to freeze
or starve unless some woman with
more heart than they have warns and
feeds them. And that these children
are pests to the neighbors is no con-
Germ of their mothers. They should
worry, as long as they don't have to
get dinner for hungry youngsters or
keep them entertained and amused.
There ought to be something dread
full with boiling oil In 1t done to mean
mothers. DOROTHY DIX.

A Post Card Catalogue.

Probably not one American in thous-
and ever has seen picture post card
catalogue, but the minority who had had
the experience will remember what good
fun may be obtained from the perusal
of any such publication.
The post card, as it happens, is not
only ubiquitous. It likewise is sympto-
matte of humanity in a curious and dis
tinctive way. Perhaps 1t represents the
least common denomination of epistola-
tory communication. Its values are
those of the folk; it is possessed of their
advantages and their limitations. Con-
venience is its principal purpose; beauty
its esthetic character, especially in Eu-
rope-where the manufacture of notably
artistic cards has been developed into an
art worthy of official notice.
Hence the sincerity of London firm
Of dealers which advertises: "Post cards,
used by royalty, society and the great
public, broadcast good will and bright
ness all the world over" The catalogue
of the establishments pictorial wares is
frankly inscribed: This little list will
prove a guide, philosopher and friend"
And the claim is valid. For example,

Secretary Hull, Spanish American War
veteran, is an ardent believer in national
defense, but he recently pointed out to
the House Appropriations Committee
that the entire budget for the State
Department. including the foreign serv-
ice, amounts to only IL per cent of
the amount at present proposed to be
spent for the War and Navy Depart
ments. Judge Hull explained that the
Army and Navy could operate only
little more than five days on the amount
asked for the State Department for 1887.
Its total budget ISIS, ,348 652), he added,
is little more than half the price of
modern battleship and represents cost
to each person in the United States of
only II cents. State Department officials
feel that the branch of the Government
devoting itself to measures for preven-
ton of war and for cultivation Of good
will among the nations deserves more
generous treatment than 1t receives.
According to Will H. Hays, president
of the Motion Picture Producers g. Dis
tributors of America, Inc, Uncle Sam is
not getting square deal from foreign
countries in the movies field. Mr.. Hays
annual report has just set forth that
the wave of intense nationalism sweep
ing many European countries is raising
increasingly difficult obstacles to the dis
tribution of our films abroad. Foreign
governments exempt their film industries
from duties on imported machinery and
from taxes and internal duties on do
mestically produced pictures. In many
cases, such productions are developed
under actual government subsidies In
contrast to restrictive policies elsewhere
is the open door maintained by American
theaters for films from abroad and also
the rivalry welcomed and encouraged by
the American industry in the whole field
of film entertainment. In 1885 24l for
eign-produced films we're shown in the
United States, as compared to 174 in 1884.
European war debt billions owed to the
United States Treasury are not the only
foreign loans in arrears to Americans.

Railways Now in
Speed Competition

From the Chcaso Tribune.
The coming Summer will witness the
most spectacular experiment that the
railways have yet made, when two of the
newly designed streamlined Diesel-en-
gined trains will offer 16-hour service
from Chicago to Denver. The Burlington
has slight advantage in the matter Of
distance over its 1,034-mile direct route,
but the Northwestern Union Pacific COM
bination is only slightly longer, with Loaf
miles. The average speed will be approx
imately IS miles per hour, with q sus-
tanned velocity of around 80 miles per
hour.
The average distance from Chicago to
New York over the routes Of the Broad
way and Century is only 935 miles, yet
the present schedule Is 1914 hours. While
locomotives that haul these two crack
Eastern trains are capable of speeds in
excess of 80 miles per hour, the honor of
the fastest long run will 60 to the West
ern lines.
There is little doubt that speedometer
registration would show that the Cen
tury and Broadway will hit higher marks
than their Western rivals, but they will
lose time at intermediate terminals
changing engines, as steam power has
not yet been developed for thousand mile
runs. Diesel-electric power, the Santa
Fe's Super Chief as an instance, will run
from coast TO coast without relay.
Our important Eastern lines viii do
well to show the public that they are
determined to stay in the transportation
race. Fifteen-hour overnight service to
New York Is inevitable.

Victory for Garnett.

The importance of the Court of Ap-
peals decision holding the numbers game
to be a lottery is simply this: The
statutes have not taken cognizance Of
the numbers game, which developed after
the law against lotteries was written.
The police and prosecutors, without any
specific law against the numbers game,
have been hesitant to proceed against
the numbers operators. Until Leslie G.
Garnett was made United States at
torney, no real effort was made to sup
press popular racket that has gained
a strong foothold in the underworld, at
tracing in Its operations vicious ele-
ment, lured by sure and easy profits Mr..
Garnett has made several cases against
numbers racketeers, basing his action on
the contention that the numbers game
was 8 lottery. banned by law. He OBJ
tained convictions in the lower courts and
the Court of Appeals has backed him up.
At least nineteen cases are pending in
the lower courts now, involving more
than that number of defendants. A re-
versal in the Court of Appeals would
doubtless have meant the dismissal of
these cases. The favorable decision not
only permits vigorous prosecution Of the
cases awaiting disposal, but should en-
courage the police and the prosecutors
to renew war in earnest on the numbers
racketeers.
Baltimore has been busy in an effort
to break UP the racket over there.
