GIonfing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Dramatizing her best features or accentuating a. none-too-love1y one until it appears attractive are tricks that the average Hollywood beauty apparently does with great dcXterity. Miss Average Girl who seriously cares about her appear ance ought to decide definitely what her best point is, then make the most of it. If she has none, which isn't likely, she had better play around with makeup until some interesting point evolves.
 If your eyes are lovely and your chin pretty heavy and none toe charming, obviously the smart thing to do is dramatize the up- per half of your face. You might use touch of mascara on lashes keep eyebrows ever so beautifully groomed, smooth hair back of brow. It might even be worthwhile to use powder one shade darker on chin than on rest of the face. Ex- pertinent with various types .oi makeup until you get the desired effect.
 One with hair which is the crowning glory variety men of let- ters have written about down through the ages, ought to dress it daringly, conspicuously, doing ev- erything possible to draw attention to it-away from plain features.
 A certain red-headed model al- ways stops whatever fashion show she is in simply because her hair looks like furnished copper. Spec. tatorS never notice that her nose turns up or over that her chin re- cedes a trifle. So lovely is her hair healthy, shiny and done up exotically-that no one looks be- yond or below 1t. ,
 If nothing about your face or hair seems even mildly pretty, then concentrate on your figure. Eat sensibly and do exercise strenuously and regularly to keep 1t lean and trim and handsome. Then encase 1t in clothes which dramatize every slim line, accentuate curves.
 Nature has much to do with beauty, but any woman can be stunning. That is, if she will exer- else to keep her body supple and youthful and slender and get the most beautiful clothes she can find for the money she has to spend. And incidentally, a five dollar dress properly fitted, looks much better than an expensive one which sags and bags and bulges.

couraging others-as Maude Adams must know she is encouraging those young girls at Stephens-could not for long know the bitterness that must come to one who has stood at the top.
 Men, too, might well follow Maude Adams lead. Or if they dislike fol- lowing in womar1's footsteps, they can look back to a man who years ago decided to face his old age guid- ing young men. His name was Rob- ert E. Lee-and at the end of one career he began a new one. At the close of the war between the states, when his useful life might have been over, he turned to encourage youth, and became the head of a univer- sity which later borrowed his name.

WE, the WOMEN
 By RUTH MILLETT
Share Wisdom" Better Than Share Wealth.

Out of every thousand struggling to reach the top in some chosen profession, perhaps one finds the way. One out of a thousand learns first hand what success is all about.
 The experience is seldom shared with another generation.
 Old age comes along. Perhaps then the man of great achievement decides that he will do something

EAKENTS
 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

The hardest task in training chil- .dren is to guess when sympathy ends and compulsion begins. Guess is the word, because the parent does not live who has been able to tell exactly how far to go with either.
 To be too strict is unwise, but to find an excuse in our love for the child, and allow him to escape the hard spots of life, is danger ous, too: There must be a blend- ing of both.
 Fathers are said to be too strict. And in many cases they are. But usually they are not the heartless people their wives may think. Their pride in their children is just as great as a mothers pride and greater at times, but hard sense is likely to rule, instead of the emotional fear of the mother. It is true that soft heart, torn this way and that, will often seek escape for the child to save its own suffering.
 Father Has Perspective
 Possibly the most irritating thing John hears at night when he reproves his son is "Now, Dad- dy," from his wife. It implies that Juniors father is being hard again. Maybe Junior simply kicks the table as he eats, and, John has made too much of a trif1e, but if Junior hasn't learned to keep his toes to himself after eight years of telling, then he needs jolt.
 It may be toes, or it may be anything from general laziness to downright misbehavior. A father sees progress, or lack of 1t, from day to day better than g mother, as a general thing, be- cause he gets perspective by be- ing out of the house. He has the advantage of the stranger almost, who can tell at glance whether child has had the right kind of discipline or not.
 It is true also, of course, that he loses much by his daily ab- sence, and may fail to see all of the child's good points. And true, unfortunately, children are never at their best toward evening. Espe- cially little children. The best of them get fretful before bedtime even though they do not seem to be tired. And for a fact they save their worst moments until daddy comes in the door. These are things a father should know. Another thing he must impress on his mind is that the so-called misbehavior of the three-or four-year-old is not al- ways real misbehavior at all, but the normal development of will and self assertion. This is very important.
 Rate Discipline on Age
 However, although discipline before five or six should be done with an understanding of child rights, it will have to have a place. Age is the basis of stan- dard. No child of five will be able to conform as well as the child of ten. And therefore no small child should be reproved for the same things as an older child.
 Parents should allow for the viewpoint of each other. There is little gained by mothers feel ing hurt when fathers step in, or fathers shouting that mothers are ruining their children. The child needs both, provided everybody does his share of trying, and the general note is confidence and harmony.

while climbing to the top, all these remain shut away from youth. The dominant personality that helped him rise above the thousand-or hundred thousand-seldom becomes an inspiration to younger men. For young men have no way of know ing a great man. He is made un- approachable by success itself.
 Maude Adams to Teach
 It took a woman to decide that today's young people might welcome a more personal gift than successful men have seen fit to give. At sixty four, Maude Adams, who retired from the stage nearly twenty years ago, is preparing to share her art, her years of experience, her remem- bered triumphs with group of girls who grew up too late to know her name as their mothers and fathers knew 1t.
 The creator of Peter Pan" and other Barrie roles is taking over the drama department of Stephens 8 junior college in Columbia, Mo.
 In giving these young women the benefit of her own rich experience, perhaps Maude Adams is pointing the way for women who have reached the top in other fields.
 Wouldn't such a close relationship with youth be the happiest, most worthwhile, ending for any success full career? Need women's useful life be finished when age forces her to turn aside out of the main stream?
 An Example for Others
 Maude Adams has done a splen- did thing even if she is the only person willing to make youth such a personal gift as sharing a past rich in achievement. But how much more she has done, if her new work inspires other women to seek this worthwhile way of living fin young CT generation.
 The successful lawyer, doctor business woman, social worker. writ. CT, or screen star who has found age a stumbling block in her own profession might well turn to give youth a helping hand. It would do so much to help 8 newer generation and 1t would save Q wealth of expe- rience from being thrown away. A woman who knew that she was en-

Winter Farm Show
In Baltimore Adds
To Premium Lists
Exhibit Held With Farm Bu-
reau Meeting Secures State
Fair Funds


The winter show of products o.
Maryland farms, made annually il
Baltimore in January of each year il
connection with the annual meetin,
of the Maryland Agricultural Society
Maryland Farm Bureau and affiliated
organizations, is expected to reacl
larger proportions than ever in 1888
The Maryland State Fair Board, ere
ated by action of the recent legisla.
tive session at Annapolis, has just an.
nounced an appropriation of $140O il
prize money for products displayed
This appropriation will be added t.
the funds previously available
through growers associations in at.
tracing larger exhibits.
Where the farm products will be
exhibited is still undecided, according
to Secretary C. E. Wise, Jr., of the
Maryland Farm Bureau and DR.. T. B
Symons, Director of Extension of the
University of Maryland who are
working on plans for the exhibit
Previously, the display has been hous-
ed in odd corners of the hotel which
has been headquarters for the meet
ings of the agricultural groups, but
increases expected in volume of pro-
ducts displayed is likely to make this
plan impractical at the coming Win
ter Show.
Allotments of the State Fair Board
have been voted for the following
products: Corn, $3.50; Tobacco 500;
Grain, $125; Potatoes, $3.50; Horti-
cultural products, $500; Bees, $50 and
Poultry, $425. Associations of grow
ers and producers Of these products
are now drawing up premium lists
which will combine the State Fair
Board appropriation with their own
funds.
"The winter show of agricultural
products has long been feature of
the week which brings agricultural
leaders from all over Maryland to
Baltimore for the annual meetings of
their organizations" Mr.. Wise re-
ports. "The addition of State funds to
the premium lists is expected to in
crease interest in both the display
itself, and the meetings of farm
groups held at that time. The dates
set for meetings and display are jar

Balanced Powers
In Our Government
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
-SeatiHeis 81 ibe RepubRe .

Although the Seventy fifth Congress
ended IL sessions many days ago,
America continues to hear vigorous dis
cussion concerning what Il accomplished
or failed to accomplish.
In much Of this discussion there u Q
deep note Of disappointment The aver
age citizen has seen few signs Of effec-
tive steps towards reducing either the
cost Of living or the cost Of government
both Of which bear so heavily on his
earnings. He has observed little evi-
dence Of constructive action to widen
the scope Of employment opportunities
-on which rest our greatest hopes Of
recovery.
To many American citizens various
other needs appear to have been forgot
ten during the eight months Of debate.
But one phase Of Congressional actis-
fly has aroused widespread interest.
This was the effort Of many Congress-
men to assert their authority as the
peoples representatives and the peo-
Piles voice in government. To degree
seldom seen during recent years, Con-
gress, during its past session, fought
for the independence Of the Legislative
branch, which makes our laws; the
Executive branch, which administers
them; and the Judicial branch, which
interprets them.
II was this balanced form Of govern
ment which, historians agree, contrib
uted 50 greatly 10 the success Of the
Constitution whose 150th anniversary
we celebrate this year.
Il was this balanced form, with ils
safeguards for all citizens, which en-
abled America 70 make so notable q
contribution to the history OF human
liberty and government Of, by and for
the people.
II members Of the Seventy-flfth Con-
gress have succeeded in strengthening
that principle and the Constitution
which perpetuates 1t. their sessions have
not been IN vain
