WYATT carp NEAR
ELLSWORTH'S GOAL
Sustained. Silence ArouSeS
Fears-Ship Pushes Into
Packed Ice.
By Radio to The Star.

1y Radio to The Star.
ON BOARD THE MOTOR SHIP
WYATT EARP, January 10 CN.A.
NA).-The Wyatt carp is now about
700 miles in a direct line from Little
America and we'll within range OF
even the weakest of Lincoln Ellis
worth's radio sets, and still there is
no signal from him. The sustained
silence is apprehensively disturbing.
Has Ellsworth and his pilot, Hollick-
Kenyon, after all failed to reach their
goal and added to the long list of
polar tragedies? We will not know
for several days, for although the dis
tance is short we still have p push
through the belt of packed ice which
normally fringes the Ross Sea, barring
the progress of ship as would a
pand of steel.
We have not reached the most diff
f1cult area yet. For the last so hours
the Wyatt carp has been ramming
her way through the pack and the
pounding Of her hard wood bows
against the ice resounds in the hull
Ike the continued beatings of savage
drums. Striking the solid fragments
she reels and rolls like a drunken
sailor, staggers for moment, then
hurls her weight again at the ice
which slowly and reluctantly gives
way before her. With each shock her
mast trembles and the taut steel rig
ging, snow encrusted, huns like low
strung harp.
The vibration of engines at full
throttle cause the ship to vibrate as
II with palsy, but her timbers are
sound. we have ample fuel and
against the headwinds, snow storms
and the ice we are making progress.

BY MARGARET WARNER.

nun TAN has as many moods as
a tickle woman. Daily exposure
to the sun gives most skins,
- that tan at all, lovely bronze
color with rosy undertone. When
the happy vacationist returns home
her friends greet her with compli-
ments on her lovely color and for
week at least she uses scarcely any
rouge and her powder is deep rachel.
Then the undertone fades out and
gradually the tan disappears-all of
which requires a variety of colors
of powder If the skin color Is to be
perfectly matched at all times.
To meet this situation there has
just appeared new tan palette from
which the cosmetic artist may now
choose the exact shade to match her
skin from among four small boxes,
which are sold together in set for 81.
Here Is an economical and most
satisfactory scheme for keeping up
with your changing skin color dur
ing the late Summer and early Fall.
These new powders are so attractively
pedagogical in a row in a long,
narrow box-that they offer an ex-
cellent suggestion for a bridge prize
for the first "get-together" of the
season.
MOST people accept powder, rouge
N and lipstick as necessary ele-
ments Of a well-groomed appearance,
but there are still number who have
not fully realized the great difference
in their appearance that eye makeup
can produce. There are many little
tricks that will enhance the eyes
besides the usual mascara. Why not
make use of them and see what they

Keep Up The
OF Vacation
For Health and Beau
tvs Sake Outdoors
as Much as Possible.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

JUST as the Decoration weekend
marks the official start of Sum-
mer, so the Labor day week end marks
its close. Most women return a week
or two before this week end to get
themselves, their homes, their chill
dren set for Fall for school and so on.
Others wait until the last day, stretch
ing their vacation to catch the last
lingering bit of fun. And then, sad
but so, it's good-by to sun and the
fun Of the great outdoors.
It's true that Fall and Winter do
not present the same opportunities
for outdoor sports, exercise, sun bask-
ing and such. But the complete tran
sition is what's sad.
Even If you have very wisely stored
up good deal Of sunshine and energy
by exercising to make your body sup
pie, by relaxing and easing your mind,
even if you have built up a delightful
feeling of "all's right with the world"
that doesn't mean that you have to
cut things quick and short.
You'll be busy at home or office all
week? True. But there are Indian
Summer days ahead-delightfu week
ends. Take advantage of every sun
shiny one. Get out into the country
with your family. Plan hikes. Pic
mics. Breathe deep. Play games.
Breathe deep. Exercise. Do aero
battles. Do anything that spells fun
to you.
A doctor know spent all his spare
time at the beach this past Summer.
And what do you think he enjoyed
most? Kite flying. Maybe that sounds
childish to you. But have you ever
tried sailing the kite up way high
then keeping it that way. This doctor
would hold on to the cord spool at the
other end, then bury it in the sand,
lie back and watch it sail. That to
him spelled relaxation, and in the
matter of relaxation it isn't what's
highbrow, but what does you the
greatest good that counts.
Summer has its havoc; too much
summing, too much exposure, harsh
skin and hair. But the idea of get
ting out. of swimming, of exercise and
playing that's fine. Indian Summer
and early Fall offer all the advan-
tages. minus the harsh effects, be-
cause the suns rays aren't as direct
and hard on skin and hair. So why
not prolong the good of Summer as
long as you possibly can?

MY Neighbor Saws:

Partridge berries, moses and
small ferns may now be gath
cred in the woods. Put moss
green side up and lining bowl,
fill with wood soil and plant
ferns and partridge berries in
soil. Moisture put in when bowls
are filed will last through most
Of the Winter.
When making toast, 1t i'm
proves it both IN taste and di-
gestibility If the slices Of bread
are laid in the open oven for a
little while before toasting them.
They will toast better and more
evenly If given this advance
treatment.
Before boiling a cracked egg
rub the shell with lemon juice.
The egg albumen is quickly CO.
agulated by the acid.
To remove a fresh grease spot
on a rug, cover the spot with
blotting paper, then press with
hot flatiron. Cover the spot
with magnesia, let it remain for
"a hours, then brush off.
Lawns should now be dug up,
seeded and rolled. The Fall rains
will keep the ground moist and
grass seed will soon spring up.
A saucerful or quicklime placed
in a damp closet or cupboard
will not only absorb all damp
ness, but will sweeten and disin-
feet the closet.

Paper Accessories.

One Of the pleasures of Summer d
the joy Of open-air dining. It takes
little time and even less money to
have gay little suppers that will be fun
for the whole family. Crepe paper
napkins and cloths. so soft they seem
like fabric, come in colorful, new de-
signs and patterns. Paper plates and
cups In such new styles that they look
like china will be championed by every
member Of the family and you can
obey that long cherished impulse to
throw the plates away instead Of
washing them on . hot night. There's
no laundry bill to think Of, and only
the silver to wash after the meal Is

- iris, If you want to marry,
don't make these mistakes:
Don't try to fascinate the en-
~ tire masculine sex. 1t is too
big Q job. Besides, it can't be done.
There are many men Of many minds.
and every man has different mind
about the kind Of girl he likes. Find
the man who falls for your type and
concentrate on him. He won't have
Chinaman's chance Of escaping you.
Don't be q copy-cat. Be yourself.
Because some other girl vows them
with her vivacity, or looks cute when
she acts kittenish, is no sign that you
could get away with these tricks. A
big girl looks like . performing ele-
phant when she tries to be cunning,
and there Is nothing more depressing
than q serious-minded girl trying to
be funny.
Don't pose. II you are q working
girl, don't pretend that you are a
millionairess who is standing behind
q counter or punching typewriter be-
cause you are bored with society. If
you are q lowbrow, don't pretend to
belong to the intelligentsia. You will
always stumble over the books you
claim to have read, but haven't read,
and break your neck.
nON'T affect to be blase and sophis-
ticated. to have been everywhere
and seen everything, and to be bored
with 1t all. Enthusiasm is one Of the
greatest charms that q girl can have
and there Is nothing man enjoys
more than taking one out who bubbles
over with delight and has q grand
time.
Don't scorn domesticity. call chill
dren brats and boast that you can't
boil water without scorching it. Most
men marry to get home and all that
goes with 1t.
Don't overdress. Many girl scares
of the man who would make her q
good husband by looking so expensive
she sets him to figuring on her upkeep.
Don't make yourself cheap. The
more valuable thing is, the more
men crave it. The higher q girl holds
herself, the more men respect her.
Few men want bargain-count wives.
Don't kiss every Tom, Dick and
Harry who takes you out. It makes
your stock slump in boys estimation
for you to be too easy. The old proverb
about the peach that hangs highest
on the tree is still true.
DoNT run after boys. Men are
- built to sprint and women are
not. In the love chase the man can
always outrun the woman. The girls
who bait their traps adroitly and then
sit on the sidelines and look indif-
ferent are the ones who make the
catches.
Don't even telephone to boy at
his place Of business. The chances
are it will cost him his job.
Don't write to . boy until he has
written to you and begged you to
correspond with him. and then count
letters And don't write anything

Extract the Juice from the fruit in
the usual manner, strain and COM
bine Add the sugar and boil until
the mixture thickens, and sheets from

And now for the ounces. I re-
member once, years ago, our old cook
made some ounce preserves. They
didn't turn out the way she expected
them to-but still remember them
as the best things I have ever tasted.
The ounces had been quartered and,
for some reason, each quarter emerged
whole and of the consistency Of pre-
served ginger. We ate them like
candy. and they were simply delicious.
Since then I have tried to do some
thing like that on purpose, but it
doesn't work. If any reader knows
the secret of the mistake" do wish
they would write me about It'll

10 ounces.
10 pounds sugar.

Pare the ounces, remove core and
crate finely on a cheese crater. Dis
solve the sugar in the boiling water,
over heat, add the ounce pulp and
cook for 80 minutes. Turn into
glasses (sterilized) and let cool When
cold 1t should resemble honey In color
and consistency.
ORANGE AND OUNCE MARINA
LADE.
Peel ounces and keep the skins.
Weigh fruit after cutting out the seeds
and hard parts. Take one-third their
weight in oranges and the same weight
as the ounces in sugar. Chop ounces
fine. Peel one orange and cut the
rind In small pieces. Crate the rind
Of another orange. Cut up the white
inner rind Of two more oranges. Boil
the skins of the ounces In just enough
water to cover and while this Is going
on place the ounces themselves, sugar,
oranges and rind in another sauce
pan, with water to cover. Cook until
tender and ruddy. Boil the ounce
skins for As minutes. Strain them
through cheesecloth, boil down again
and then add the fruit. Boil alto
gether for 10 minutes, then put IN
sterilized jars and seal. This recipe
seems little complicated, but the
results are delicious.

will do for you, especially II they are
as harmless as the little contraption
that will curl your lashes up and
out. making them look twice as long
and intriguing as before and increas-
ing the apparent size of your eyes!
The lash curler is simple to use,
requires no heat, no cosmetics; just
place the lashes between the two
rubber curler clamps that bend the
lashes up and in a few seconds the
trick is turned and stays done for
at least IL hours. Two seconds Of
effort should be worth the trouble,
and for the girl who wears glasses
it is positive boon, as it makes her
eyes appear SO much larger.
OF course, struggling eyebrow growth
has no place in well-groomed ap-
pearance. You must 60 after all
those hairs that grow in the wrong
spot, across the bridge Of the nose,
and those that extend beyond the
limits Of delicately arched brow
line. There are tweezers and tweezers
on the market, but 1t was only the
other day that some one was inquir-
ing for something that would do this
job of hair pulling q little easier and
a little less painfully. Here it is.
1t looks something like q silver
pocket pencil at first glance, but is
q mechanical contrivance that en-
ables you easily to get firm grip on
each separate hair and snap 1t out
very neatly. What usually causes
the most difficulty and discomfort Is
getting hold of more than one hair
at time and prolonging the agony
by not making q clean job at the first
try. So we advise you to add this
new tweezer to your beauty aids. If
you do not already have one.
For perfect eye makeup the brow
line should. be attacked first. Fol-
lowing this you may add bit Of eye
shadow along the lower portion Of the
upper lid, applying very lightly for
daytime use, to add depth and luster.
The next step is to curl the lashes,
and here we add that, If desired, the
tips of the lashes may be touched
with mascara before they are curled
If you wish to accent them more
strongly.
To overcome darkness under the
eyes, try q bit of rouge, blending it
carefully and working it up and
around to the temples.

The Old Gardener Says:

Complaints are received occa-
sionally about difnculties en-
countered in breaking up baled
peat moss. If the moss gets very
dry, it Is dif1icult to reduce to
powder form, although when wet
it can be handled much more
easily. Some garden makers al
ways leave q bale or two in the
open where 1t will be soaked by
rain. Apparently, however, ANA
teurs do not realize that there Is
a right and wrong way to open
the bales. If all the sticks, wires
and burlap are removed and the
bale broken from q side that had
no sticks on it, the bale will fall
to pieces easily. The pressure
used in baling Is applied from
the bottom against the top and
when the bales are opened it
should be with the pressure and
not against it. If the opener at
tempts either end, he will be
working against the pressure. As
soon as the knack Of opening the
bales is once gained, the work
can be done very quickly.

that you wouldn't be willing for the
general public to read. The great
majority of men show the letters they
get from women to prove what sheiks
they are.
Don't let boy know you have no
other dates and don't act grateful
when one does take you out. Men
are like sheep about women and they
always want some other mans o. K.
on a girl Hence the girl who has
many dates has many other dates
added to them, while she who has
only one date loses that.
DON'T talk too much. Men don't
like chatter-boxes and the good
listener wins out over the chatter-box
every time. Men like girls who lend
them their ears instead of giving them
their tongues.
Don't think you make q hit with
men by wisecracking or holding up
other people as figures Of fun. You
may get a laugh, but you will never
get husband that way, because men
fear sarcastic women as the devil does
holy water.
Don't act mannish. Only sissy men
are attracted by the imitation man
girl. The real herman prefers them
feminine; the more feminine, the
better. Stacks and shorts are going to
be responsible for q lot of old maids.
Almost any girl is pretty in q pink
chiffon dress, but it takes Miss Ameri-
ca not to give us q laugh in breeches.
Finally, don't let Q man get to
know you too well Don't tell him all
you know. Be little mysterious and
keep man guessing. As long as you
do that you will keep him interested.
