Beauty
When Hands
Persp1re
By DONNA GRACE

One of the symptoms that we
may attribute to nerves is perSpir-
ing hands. This is a peculiar
thing that may happen to anyone,
but there are a few who seem to
suffer the annoyance Of it almost
constantly.
There are many remedies Of
fered. The tannic acid mixtures
were used for a long time, but
now physicians say the applica.
ton of IS per cent solution of
aluminium chloride is by far the
best means Of relief.
Large hands usually belong TO
large and overweight persons, so
when you consider changing the
size Of your hands, you must try
to do something about your gen.
eral weight at the same time.
When the bones and structure
of the hands are large, there is no
way to reduce the size, but nearly
all large hands are fat. and this
fat can be reduced.
We will assume that you are
following a restricted diet-one
that will really take off weight.
The hands may be exercised with
the circular wrist movement and
the Tapping from the wrist, also
the clenched fist and resisting
movements.
Then begin to massage them by
holding the thumb of the left
hand in the palm Of the right.
It is held firmly while you push
the flesh and muscles upward
toward the wrist. In the pushing
movement the thumb of the right
hand is used in a circular move
ment. This and all other move
ments are described in my hand
treatment.
Continue the massage in this
way for each finger and then do
the same on the right hand. After
that soak the hands in a basin
of warm mot hot) water to which
is added one half teaSpoonful Of
borax and four tablespoonful of
EPSON salts. Let them remain in
the water for 10 minutes. Then
rinse with cold water and dry.
Apply smooth cream to refine
the skin: then spray with toilet
water. This may be done twice
week.
You will find the complete
routine in my Hand Treatment.
I will be glad to send it to you
If you will enclose a stamped, self
addressed envelope for your reply

Two Different Types
Strange as it may seem to some
people, the fashion scene on the
two ocean coasts is somewhat diff
ferent. Hollywood has an enor-
nous effect on the West Coast,
and in the East we take our ideas
mostly from the Riviera. So, al
though essentials are the same,
there are differences.
For instance, in the East we are
preferring beach dresses and divi-
ded skirts more and more. Stacks
have their place, and indeed will
probably never lose out for boat
ing, certain types Of beach wear,
and so on. Shorts will be used
as play costumes for beach ball
and for tennis. For lounging,
however, and for a simple cos
tune to pull on over your bathing
suit when you want to go into a
boardwalk restaurant for a sand
wich or a. cocktail, nothing can
take the place of a beach dress or
skirt, in the estimation Of eastern
erS.
Western Picture
Reports from Palm Springs, the
olay place of the Hollywood set,
give us another and a different
,icture. Pajamas and Stacks are
laid to be almost a uniform. The
reason is, believe, that pajamas
and Stacks are used so much by
actresses for wear between scenes
when they are working, and for
.ounging at home. They even
year them on the streets of Holly
.yood.

4 Tickets Held in D. c.
Win in Sweepstakes

Fortune smiled literally today
on Thomas B. Crigler, machine op-
orator at the Farm Credit Admin
istration, when he received word
that he had won a $500 consola-
tion prize in the Irish Sweep
stakes at Dublin.
Mr.. Crigler, blond and shy, who
lives at 1474 Columbia Rd. N. W.,
took the news with benign calm.
In fact, he refused to get excited.
He smiled a trifle, but immedi-
ately began to wonder just how
much of the money would be his,
what with taxes and a whole list
of deductions he'd been hearing
about.
What would he do with the
money? Well, he just doesn't
know. He's single, and it's leap
year, so he might-but, then, he'd
rather wait until he gets it. The
winning ticket is his first; he
bought it "just for the fun Of it"
and has never won money awards
in the past.
Though in line for real cash in
hand, Mr.. Crigler said q little
wiStfully:
II wish I'd drawn a horse"
Three other local winners were
drawn in the sweeps today, two of
them anonymous.
One of the tickets was signed
by Peggy of Half Street South

RED RIDER ROW

IN HOUSE
Rep. Jenckes Blocked
In Hearing Before
D. 6. Committee

Another battle over the Red
rider" broke out in the District
Committee today, climaxed when
the committee refused to permit
Representative Virginia Jenckes,
Of Indiana, to include 268 pages
of evidence given during the Dis
trict appropriation bill hearing In
her testimony before the District
subcommittee in charge Of the re-
peal bill.
Although the committee refused
her request last week, she sub
mitted another request today. Her
motion died for lack Of a second.
none of the dozen members present
supporting her.
Put Up To BlantOn
Before the District subcommit-
tee on education, which held hear
ings on the Red rider repeal bill,
Mrs. Jenckes charged that mem
bers Of the Board Of Education
are Communists and are aiding
in the spread Of Communist prop
aganda. She referred to 26S
pages Of testimony on this ques-
ton given before the House ap-
preparations subcommittee on the
District supply bill to substantiate
her charges.
When she asked today that the
268 pages be incorporated as part
of the Red rider repeal bill testi
mony, District committee mem
berS declared there was no pre-
cedent and If additional copies OF
the appropriations hearings were
necessary it is the duty Of the
chairman Of that subcommittee
Representative Thomas L. Blan
ton CD Of Texas to have them
printed.
Blocked BY Schultz
It was pointed out by Repre-
sentative William Schultz CD oi
Indiana, a member Of the educa
ton subcommittee, that after Mrs
Jenckes made her charges she de
clined to be croSs-eXamined. HI
said: ,
1--WE wanted her to come be-
fore the subcommittee to inter.
rogate her as to the basis for
her charges. 1t was q broad,
blanket indictment she made
against the Board Of Education.
III object to the 26S pages being
included in our hearings"
Mrs. Jenckes demanded thai
either the 26S pages be included
or "you can strike out all Of my
testimony"
Mr.. Sculte replied:
"AlI right, strike it out then"
BACKED BY SHORT
Representative Dewey Short (R.l
of Missouri, another member oi
the subcommittee. interjected:
'T1l object to Mrs. Jenckes
Withdrawing her testimony and
to the printing Of anything
brought in by her except her
own testimony.
II think as Mr.. Schultz does,
we should have further hear
ingS and interrOgate the lady
from Indiana rs to the basis for
her blanket indictment Of the
members Of the Board Of Educa-

U. S., Britain in Accord
To Avert Naval Rivalry
By KINGSBURY SMITH
international News Service

A separate Anglo-American ma
val understanding to prevent the
danger of naval rivalry between
the two great English speaking ma.
tions has been tentatively reached
at London, it was learned here
today.
The understanding will be IN
the form Of an exchange Of letters
between Ambassador Norman H.
Davis, chief Of the American dele
cation, and British Foreign Secre'
tary Anthony Eden, in which both
parties will recognize the principle
Of naval parity between the two
countries. 8.
Letters Being Drafted
The letters are now being
drafted in London. Final mstruc'
tions concerning the text OF the
American letters were conveyed to
Davis over the transatlantic tele'
phone by Undersecretary OF State
William Phillips this morning.
It is expected that the text OF
the letters will be made public
shortly after they are exchanged. l.
A tentative understanding al
ready has been reached between
Davis and Eden, in connection
with the question of maintaining
parity between the two fleets.
However, the language to be used
by which both parties will recog'
nize the principle of parity has
not been determined.
The possibility of an Anglo
American naval understanding to
prevent the danger Of naval
rivalry has been in the minds Of
both governments ever since it
became apparent that Japan's
insistence on naval parity would
prevent a renewal Of existing
naval treaties.
Desirability of considering the
possibility of such an understand
ing was suggested by the British
to Ambassador Davis at the time
of the preliminary navl discus
sions in November, 1884.
The approach was based on the
ground that the outlook for the
renewal of existing treaties was
not promising because Of Japan's
stand, and that it might be adviS-
able for the two governments to
be prepared to face the alterna-
tive If it was found impossible to
obtain q general agreement.
