Here's Jem Mace, the John L.

''NOw, at last, I can be a mu.
Sician," he said, as he retired
from the ring at the age Of sc.
Until he died in 1910, at the
age of 70, he studied and prac-
ticed, attaining fine musician
ship, a master of the great clas-
sizes. He was five feet eight
inches tall and weighed 1853
pounds, topping all the big pa
lookas in England in his hun

Six-foot-three-inch Tom King, in
the fight that gave him the
championship of England and
the claim, at any rate. to the
world title.
He was a gypsy, a child violin.
list, touring BorroW'S Romany
Rye country in his childhood and
early youth. Many a time he
laid down his fiddle to engage
in a rock-and-sock roadside bat
tie. That disclosed his talent
and readied him for the ring. He
had mild, pleasant eye and a
rounded, not rocky, chin, with
somewhat Hebraic features.
His muscles were easy and
flexed, with no knots or bulgeS,
and his ring mastery was gained
by supreme skill and the ability
to align every ounce Of mis-
weight behind a level, explosive
and murderous punch. It was
bare-knuckle fighting in those
days. His fight with King went
43 rounds, and many Of his bat
ties were much longer. He was
always worrying about his
hands, fearing injuries which
would end his violin playing. In
one critical fight, he let his OPP
ponent stick around 10 or is
rounds, when he could easily
have finished him. The crowd
was bowling for a Knockout.
Mace explained afterward:
at wanted only a sharp punch
to finish it, but / had dreamed
last night had broken my
hand and never could play again.
1t seemed a warning, SO I took
no chances"
Mace went to a good tailor,
dressing fashionably but never
OVERRIDING it. He was modest
and unaSSuming and always cor.
rect in speech and demeanor.
Around the London sporting
clubs he had many friends In
the titled and literary set. A
somewhat sniffy writer in a
magazine Of the day, puzzled by
Jem Mace'S social SophiStication,

1t would do both the citizens and the Nation good.
The things which the Scouts experienced while here
will remain with them throughout their lives.
Many of them WILL of course return the city in later
years. but probably visit will leave the lasting impressions
which they received in their youth
On the other hand while Washington will always be glad

The Pilots Are Right

A TRPLANE pilots operating in and out of Wash
n ington have been long-suffering under great
provocation.
It is not surprising therefore, that they should at
last have issued utmatum which threatens an I'M
mediate curtailmen of flying at the local field and an
eventual cessation of flying there unless definite plan
of Improvement is ready for action within sixty days.
The big modern ships which the pilots required
to use cannot be operated with safety under cond-
lions prevailing at the airport.
That ism new dscovery-the field has never been
anything but hazard considering the type of service
which it is attempting to give.
Pilots of all descriptions have condemned it for years
as being inadequate and unsafe.
Some of the most famous filters of planes have re-
fused to use it. even when they plotting equip
ment which could make the difficult landings at the air
port much more safely than these landings can
be negotiated with the heavy ships in more gen
eral use.
Adequate air service is no longer luxury for the
National Capital.
It has become necessary means Of speedy transport
freely utilized by residents and by visitors.
It is for that reason that the threatened curament
or stoppage becomes an intensely serious matter.
IT IS A MATTER WHICH SHOULD NEVER
HAVE ARISEN, WHICH NEVER WOULD HAVE
ARISEN WERE IT NOT FOR THE PETTY JEAL-
OUsY AND PICKERING WHICH HAVE CHAR
ACTER1zED THE LONG FIGHT TO PROVIDE
pp0pER ATRpORT FANTTTTTES
This jealousy and pickering still prevail and still
threaten to bring to nothing the work of the existing
District Airport Commission just they have proven
stumbling blocks to many commissions and committees
in the past.
There is no assurance that any action will be taken
by the Congress during the present session.
In fact if the history of the airport squabble fore
casts the future there will be action and the pilots
will be left to carry out their utmatum and deprive
the National Capital of air service.
No one could blame the pilots.
Theirs is dangerous and difficult job at best.
IT IS SILLY TO ASK THEM TO ADD TO THE
DANGERS AND DIFFICULTIES BY HAVING THEM

Clarifying
Yourself
BY Alicia Hart
NEA Service staff Writer

Don't let anyone tell you that soap
and water are bad for your hair.
II you shampoo correctly using q
liquid soap and rinsing thoroughly,
the weekly washing will do your hair
plenty Of good and no harm. Once
week, especially If you live In the
city, isn't too often, either.
II you are i'll or have a cold
you may want TO skip your wet
shampoo for week or two ana
dry-clean scalp and hair instead.
Otherwise, remember that hair,
like skin, Is healthier II kept
scrupulously clean.
II you can't afford a CONNER
cially prepared liquid shampoo,
make your own, simply by dis
solving bland, white soap In
warm water.
Precede shampoo by brushing.
This removes loose flakes Of dan
druff or dry cuticle. Rinse for a
second or two, pour on the liquid
soap and scrub. Rinse again,
wash once more, then rinse at
least three times.
If you like. put the Juice Of a
fresh lemon in the last bowl Of
rinsing water and finish with a
fourth rinse In clear water. A
lemon rinse removes every trace
of soap and makes your hair soft
er. If you like, substitute one
quarter Of a cop Of white vinegar
for the lemon juice.
Hot oil shampoos are excellent for
dry hair. II possible, use oil with
a lanolin rather than vegetable base.
The scalp absorbs the former more
readily. Brush your hair, then rub
the hot oil into your scalp. Leave
1t on all night or for at least an
hour. Then shampoo.
Remember how important proper
rinsing is. A shampoo doesn't dry
out hair or make 1t stringy and I'M
manageable. but an accumulation OF
soap suds will.

Your Children

kicking the Smith cat or, Of all
things, the Jones cat. And the Jones
cat does no more than run across
the street to the Smiths sometimes.
Maybe Billy does not try to get
his spelling. Who would suspect that
his dislike Of spelling lies at Tommy
Smiths door, because Tommy, one
day got a star when he, Billy,
didn't?
Jealousy and Hate
And why does Billy hate Tommy?
Oh. yes, he hates him. Jealousy Is
nearly always the cause Of hate. Be-
cause Tommy has more clothes and
bigger toys2 Not at all. He Is jealous
because the happy -go-lucky rival
has friends.
Tommy grew up In a house with
a sister, a brother, and q step-broth-
err. There was not much money in
those former days, either. And the
mother, fearful lest the boy belong
ing to her second husband would
feel odd and lonely, became very
wary Of showing preference at any
time to any one child. They we're
all treated exactly alike and not al
lowed 10 make much OF themselves.
Emotionally, that Is. She made them
happy, but had to withdraw herself
and her feelings largely into the
background.
They soon developed a hearty
give and take attitude. One for all
and all for one. Friends said she
had made a good Job Of 1t.
Billy was the only child, with
aunts and uncles and grandparents
all concentrating on him. He grad
ually withdrew from the society Of
other children, especially when he
could not have things his own way.
He found that the world Of children
took something from him that he
was not ready to give.
Pampered At Home
At home there was everything
Just the way he liked 1t. He gravi-
tated to this world more and more
and his mother had q time Of IT.,
trying to get him out to play with
the neighbors. Tommy was the one
person he would play with, for
Tommy seemed to let him have his
way when he wanted 1t. Then the
world took them both. School be-
gan. And now Tommy could no
longer step aside and let Billy make
all the marks, or give up his friends.
And jealousy began to sizzle, and
like blueing in q tub, spread from
the source to anything even dis
family associated with Tommy. And
from there to still remoter things.
If q child begins to act oddly and
stay alone, 1t Is wise II possible TO
get as causes. 1t is not easy. But
cause once known, by tact and hap
pily-corrective measures, 1t may be
removed or reduced. The cause Is
important. Ali children need COM
pany, not solitude.

blood is suddenly removed, death
follows.
Most people arc so sensitive TO
the sight Of blood or to the feeling
of a. hemorrhage, that the loss OF
blod usually is accompanied by
psychic or mental symptoms, such
as shock. The loss Of any small
amount Of blood causes some peo-
pie to faint promptly, and develop
restlessness, cold sweat, pallor and
thirst.
When hemorrhage occurs, the
first step necessary TO prevent the
development OF anenia Is to stop
the bleeding: next to prevent shock,
by applying warmth and giving
considerable amounts of fluid.
TRANSMISSION Of blood nowadays Is
used as an emergency measure, with
great success. The doctor determines
whether TRANSMISSION Is necessary by
measuring the blood pressure and
the amount OF red coloring matter
in the blood.
Much more likely to produce
anemia Is the constant loss Of small
amounts OF blood, such as may
occur In ulcer OF the stomach,
bleeding piles, bleeding from the
organs OF women, and cancer. In
such cases, the complexion Of the
victim changes to a putty color;
there Is weakness, shortness OF
breath, easy fatigue, and other
doctor that anemia liz developing.
Here again 1t Is important TO stop
the bleeding not only by suitable
treatment Of the organs or condi-
tons responsible. but also TO build
up the blood promptly by absolute
rest and suitable diet, supplemented
by liver and iron.

of ourselves as q nation symbolized

Rights of Democracy
In a democracy women are &C
corded equal rights and privileges
with men. A fitness and O. sensitive
ness prevails. Courtesy and chivalry
are useful words. Where all people
are included In the governing ma
chine there Is no room for q voice
or two that shouts orders by divine
right OF dictatorship. Thus women
move freely and happily.
In nation devoured by fascism--
Women will suffer more than men
for men are more amenable to reg
imentation. Women are commanded
to perform their primitive task Of
collaborating which turns the holi-
est service q woman can render into
bestal function.
Blessing of Freedom
We have been blest among nations
because we have preserved govern
ment where men and women have
freedom TO worship as they please,
to come together in meetings and
speak as they desire, to elevate
themselves honorably according to
their opportunities. to accumulate
personal property, TO marry and to
vote. In all Of these relationships
women have proflted tremendously.
From the vassal class we have been
elevated to the recognized position
of human beings.
Today, when wise mediatorship
Is needed as never before that men

democracy must be implanted most
