or card playing, would you kindly
suggest some forms of entertain

There never was a time when
we were offered so many varieties
of "adult games" as we are Of
fered now. And most of them are
exciting and amusing and sreat
"ice-breakers" for a pay.
And now you will find that
many department stores have spe-
cial. departments in which these
are shown. So I suggest that you
investigate this field for enter:
tainment for your party. Try the
nearest department store. or per-
haps your bookstore carries them.

REAL JOB
Dear Miss Fairfax:

my father and brothers are
aghast at my choice Of husband.
But in spite Of what they are
pleased to call difference in sta
tiOn," 1 love my fiance dearly. At
the beach where we have a little
cottage, which we occupy every
summer, MalcOlm-aS shall call
him-iS a handy man for the cot
tagerS. He attends to all the odd
jobs, some Of which I'll agree are
not attractive.
He has never been to high
school, and he does not use his
knife and fork like my father and
brothers. But he has a splendid
disposition. He sings well. And
somehow or other, 1 overlook his
mistakes in English. When my
father corrected him for saying:
''If hadn't have went" Malcolm
answered: But you knew what l
was talking about, didn't yOu?"
This infuriated father. When my
brother saw him eat with his knife,
he asked me why 1 didn't try to
get him a job at the circus as
SwOrd-SwallOwer.
Il love this boy so much that I
am sure I can teach him our ways
don't you think so?
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
It is not often, my dear girl,
that a man can be "stepped-up" to
the conventions he has always dis
regarded. So it's much safer to
try to bring about these changes
tactfully before marriage than
afterwards.
After marriage, man is apt to
resent any correction of his man
ner of speech on the part of his
wife. He is more apt to say: II
am the man you married; let it go
at that" And there is nothing
more humiliating for a sensitive
woman than to be ashamed of her
husband.

Styles

Still hanging on to the mode Is
fringe which reappears season
after season on day, evening and
luxurious lounging things. A
charming frock is of deep beige
silk fringe worked in tiers, the
frock having a squared neckline
and short sleeves. A matching
belt of wide suede has a topaz
set buckle.
The seal of fashion seems to
be Alaska seal, in that beautiful
Safari brown. It is used for a
long, straight cape with squared
shoulders and outstanding collar
held by a gold cord.
A toast to romance is suggested
by the lovely evening capes now
being shown. A most romantic
model, full length, is of black
Lyons T-elvet with the back formed
by squared yoke of white ermine
done in cape effect, which comes
round in a single tie effect under
the chin.

FOOTWEAR

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Il am wondering if it would be
correct for me to wear a pair of
plain gold-cOlOred pumps with a
long cotton dress for Sunday
afternoon or informal evening
wear, providing the colors are
right in the dress? "S."
If the gold-colored pumps are
of leather or kid. they would I
should judge, be too formal a note
with your informal cotton dress.
But if they are of linen or some
similar material, they might be
appropriate.

HERE'S a portable cupboard
IL that is designed for making
life much more pleasant in an
apartment or house where there
are not enough closets. It was
designed in Hollywood, for the
dressing rooms of the stars,
where they never have enough
closet space-but it will serve
nicely here in Washington too.
It's made of three-ply craft
board, on an atwood ivory lac
quered frame. 1t is 21x22 inches,
and stands so inches high. It's
covered in washable floral pat
termed wallpaper on ivory ground,
and the inside is lined in cedar
pulp. It has two collapsible
shelves on one side, and will hold
20 garments. All of this, for only
$4.98.

If you'll forgive me for saying
so, I think 16 years of age is a
bit youthful to indulge in those
little strategies. And it is GER
tainly too young to decide on a
life partner, unless there is some
overwhelming reason for such an
important decision.
I'm glad you go out with sew

better than to concentrate on

REPEAL |SSOUCHT
FOR TRAPPING BAN
M 0 n t go m cry Howard
Grange Finds Law Is
Harmful.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpatcn TO Inc Star.
BURTONSVILLE. Md. February l.
Repeal of the anti-trapping law
enacted for Montgomery County by the
Legislature of 1888 was favored in a
resolution adopted at meeting of the
Montgomery Howard County Pomona
Grange here.
1t was held that the law 'has been
faulty from the viewpoint of game
bird preservation, which, in turn,
affects control of insects on the farm,
and under it Objectionable species of
|. wild life have increased to the point
of destruction of property and of being
a general nuisance"
The resolution urges the county's
representatives in the General Assembly
to favor legislation at the approaching
special session looking to the repeal
Of the law and substitution of one that
will legalize trapping under provisions
that the name Of owners be placed on
all traps, that traps be visited at least
once every "a hours, that the legal size
OF the traps not exceed the standard
No. 2, and that regular game law
penalties be provided for violations of
the act.
Resolutions also we're adopted urging
general property reassessment in
1886. and a law providing 50 tags on
motor vehicle trailers of 1000 pounds
capacity or less
The meeting was addressed by Miss
Ruth Shoemaker, who represents the
county in the House of Delegates. and
Albert A. Ady, State Grange deputy
for Montgomery County.

deed, this Vtamin is practically q
specific for ricketts,. While 1t is con-
tanned in such foods as liver, egg yolk
and salmon. most of the body's supply
is direct from exposure to sunlight.
Vitamin A is the anti-infection
vitamin. 1t is found in green vege-
tables, and in larger quantities in hall
but and codliver oils.
The rats play a major role Iii test
ing for vitamins D and A. In testing
products for these vitamins, the divi-
sion follows the methods prescribed by
the United States Pharmacopoeia,
which gives the procedure in detail.
Response to Diets Compared.
To test for A, rats are put on a diet
which Is adequate INTENTIONALLY in all
respects except that it contains no A.
When the rats show certain symptoms
OF A deficiency, the product to be
tested is fed them at different levels.
Then the response obtained is COM
pared with that produced by stand
ard having known vitamin A con-
tent. Then laboratory technicians
calculate the number of units the
product contains. It takes about four
weeks of the deficiency diet before the
rats show the desired symptoms.
To test vitamin D, the rats are fed
rations which will produce ricketts,
This takes about three weeks. They
are then fed several levels of the
product to be tested to determine
which level is necessary to produce
the same degree of healing in the
rickety bones as a selected level of
vitamin D standard.
The pharmacapoeia specifies the
number of animals, the weight limits
ages, conditions under which they are
kept, and every other known precau-
tion for insuring accuracy.
Other Methods Exist.
There are methods for testing for
the other vitamins which are, in gen.
eral, as satisfactory as those for test
ing for A and D. but they have not yet
been adopted and, therefore, have no
legal recognition.
The market Is flooded with products
in which it is claimed vitamins are
present in health-giving and curative
quantities. Advertisements for irradi-
ated foods usually claim that these
products are equal IN vitamin D to
certain amounts of cod liver oil. The
Food and Drug Administration believes
that the potency should be expressed
in specific terms and by moral suasion
often succeeds in having it stated that
way on the labels.

DEBT BTEXPANS|ON

Dr.. Sprague Sees $4,000.
100000 Mark Possible if
Deficits Tapered.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, February DIR. O. NJ.
w. Sprague, former economic adviser
to the Bank of England and former
monetary consultant to the United
States Treasury, said today the ma
tional debt could expand safely to
$40, 100000 900, provided there was a
tapering off in annual deficits.
Speaking extemporaneously before
the Columbia University Club forum
on public affairs, the Harvard pro-
fessor of banking and finance said
the national debt would attain the
$40 900, 100000 total without weaken
ing of Government credit"
This aggregate can be reached with
out harm, he said, IF we move toward
that debt with declining deficit"
Deficit Increase Danger.
The genial professor, who resigned
his United States Treasury post in
November, 1888. because of his dis
agreement with the gold policies of the
administration, added: But if we
increase the annual deficit, then 1
should imagine that the Government
credit would seriously be weakened
long before we reach the $4,000 ,OOO,-
600 mark"
Il am quite unable to say how far
we can go Without collapse he con-
tinued, but the main thing S this:
We shall go far enough to collapse
unless there !: all develop enough de-
mand for materials and labor as to
make relief expenditures UNI, -essary."'
Meeting of Minds"
One thing he advised was "a meet
ing of MINDS between Washington and
the business community"
"All that monetary pol cy '"H do
to bring lower rates for money. That
our authorities have done, lily
short-term rates." he said
But low ratoc do not induce :. de-
mand for credit-demand fer ,ate-
rials and labor is the important thing"
he stated.

fidence are required" he pointed out

"Basically beneath all the alarms

"All Of them are assuming the dura-

"Al Smith and the rest of Mr..

1t is in spite of the New Deal and
perhaps because of the Supreme Court.
