COURT
SELECTION UP
T0FARLEY
Move Laid Solely to
Long Tenure Of VIII
son APpointee
BY EARL GOODWIN

The chances for the reappoint-
ment Of Judge John P. Mcmahon
to the Police Court bench have
dwindled to the point where his
almost solid Washington phalanx
Of friends believe that he is out
Of the running.
Reason for this is that high Ad-
ministration officials have cooled
off considerably since Judge Nc
Mahon's peak Of political popular
ity q month or six weeks ago, and
the Department Of Justice is said
to have combed the city far and
wide for a successor to the judge,
whom President Woodrow Wilson
appointed as a good Democrat. 4"
Successor Unnamed
However, the appointing powers
have not yet agreed on a man for
the Police Court job. Rumors that
the Department Of Justice was
ready to send a name to the Presi-
dent last week turned out to be
without the benefit Of support
from the political end of the Ad-
miniStration.
The understanding now is that
the matter will be left in the
hands Of Postmaster General Far
ley as far as the political phase of
the appointment is concerned. Gen.
eral Farley, Il is understood, win
not be able. to pass Oh the quail
fications Of Judge Mcmahon or
his successor for 10 days. r.
One Of the stories in connection
with Judge McMahon's present
status is that some political back
er on his side Of the fence does
not stand very high with the Pres
ident's friendS-becauSe of q diff
ference Of opinion with the Presi-
dent on the Supreme Court mat
ter.
Backing Scattered
However, those in the District
government and members Of the
District bar interested in the re-
appointment of Judge Mcmahon
answer this with the statement
that the judges backing is scat
tered over a very wide area and
that he has strong friends in every
section-friends with several views
on existing questions. Most Of
Judge McMahon's political back
ing, it is said by close associates,
is Of the good Democratic vari-
ety."
Judge McMahon's record as a
judge and a citizen is not in Ques-
ton at the Department of Justice,
but apparently there is a tremen-
dous pressure on the higher-ups
in the administration for jobs.
One Of the Presidents keymen dis
cussed the subject:
"There is absolutely nothing
wrong with Judge Mcmahon;
as q lawyer, q man and a citizen
he ranks ace-high, but he has
held the job since the Wilson
era and it is time he relinquished
it for someone else"
HAS MADE FINE RECORD
The fact that Judge Mcmahon
has been a judge who has made
a fine record as a judge and has
the backing Of District govern
ment officials for reappointment
on ground of efficiency and fair
ness does not seem to overcome
the hunger Of present-day politi-
clans for jobs for "the faithful. F"
There is no doubt that Judge
Isaac Hit will be succeeded by a
Democratic appointee. His term
expired several weeks ago; and
being q Republican, there has
never been any question that he
would not be reappointed. Con
corning Judge Mcmahon, however,
there has been a strong possibility
of reappointment.

Foremost American Designer
Has Actively Participated In
Evolution Of The Corset

do is have a fitting in good bone
less garment and then try on her
dress. She will be amazed to find
that it hangs loosely and also that
she can walk, stand or sit with en-
tire freedom.
What is more, because of the
remarkable combination of firm
ness and stretching that is
achieved through the use of the
modern miracle fabric, lastex, a
boneless garment will never lose
it's original shape by gradually
curving itself to the ungainly
bulges of the figure, as is the case
when bones are used for support"
According to Mrs. Cromwell,
most women are not aware of the
many inches a corset must stretch
every time they sit or bend. The
average woman's body will elon-
gate to 8 inches when she takes
a chair, and the shorter the wom-
an the greater the stretch as she
sits closer to her hinge" which
is the hip joint.
To take care of this stretch and
yet have the corset return to nor
NAL proportions when the wearer
stands erect, Mrs. Cromwell so
fashions corsets that the up and
down stretch is obtained through
the use of side panels of youth
lastic, special patented fabric OF
woven lasteX. She also uses this
material, but so that it stretches
the opposite way in the center
back panel, affording complete
restraint for the hips. LasteX will
stretch only so far, then as If by
magic it becomes firm cloth, keep
ing the body within bounds. Un-
like ordinary elastic, lastex is so
firmly woven that it never
stretches out of shape; quite to
the contrary, in spite of continued
wear, and regular washing, this
material Will continue to hold the
body in check.
Mrs. Cromwell is herself a
woman of mature proportions yet
so perfectly does she corset her
own figure that it is typical ex-
ample of gracefully nodded con-
troll that her svelt appearance is
to be envied.
The intricacies of the profession
to which Mrs. Cromwell has dedi-
Gated her life can be little under

kIEXT TIME your linens need

little ingenuity of your own and
add that touch of individualism
that makes our homes so definitely

move on to the dry goods coun-
ters to do your shopping.
There you are not confined to
the decreed fads and fashions of
the manufacturers, but can do

pretty figured percales, the broad

can make your tables festive,
gay, and suggestive of spring.
Have you ever thought of dot

1t is as charming there, as it is

where from a fourth inch to an
inch from the outer edge. You
can get dotted swiss in any color
and you can plan to match your
furniture or curtains. The use of
rickrack can be employed with
unusual satisfaction, and the four
squares can be put together with
this trimming if one doesn't want
to take the time to featherstitch
them.
Speaking of dotted swiss, why
not a polka dot? The percales are
being shown in various colors,
even mixed colors, and polka
dotted luncheon cloths are always
a joy. They are most effective
when made with large bordes
in a solid color-usually the color
of the dot. The solid border can
be hemstitched, hemmed or feath-
erstitched to the polka dot mate
rial. An original touch can be
added by sewing a row of bright
colored buttons in the corner.
Monks cloth is boon In the
dining room and so inexpensive
and easy to work with, Solid col
ors are usually prettiest, and the
edges fray so nicely when the
threads are pulled with just a lit
tie care. You can get it in so
many widths too-it will fit most

Alice Cromwell Gives
Her Views On Style And
Comfort Of Boneless
Foundations
Foremost

nRASS bedsteads, adorned with
d sturdy knobs, helped many
woman in the not-so-distant past
to achieve the much envied wasp
waist that was the keynote of the
Gibson Girl figure. 1t was a case
of look the laces over the bedpost,
then tug, tug, tug, so that finally
the stiff1y boned corset sections
were brought into close prox-
unity.
Looking back it is hard to be-
lieve that any woman was able to
survive such discomfort, much
less think herself charming in
such an armor-like sheath.
Today we find a revival of Glib
son Girl fashions, but not the Glib
son Girl figure, for women have
at last learned how to gain figure
control without sacrificing health
or comfort. The corsets of today
are practically boneless, in fact
the very finest rely entirely on
cleverly cut material to mold the
figure, and natural lines of genn-
inc beauty are the result.
Credit for this emancipation OF
womanhood is almost entirely due
to the genius of Alice Cromwell,
foremost designer of corsets in
the United States for over 20
years. Starting as a designer in
those remote days when actual
fitting of a garment to the figure
was unheard of and all corsets
were heavily ribbed with bones,
Mrs. Cromwell has worked stead
ily to discover scientific means of
controlling even the largest figure
by using such materials as will
hold the flesh in graceful lines
without the discomfort of press
ing bones.
In discussing the uphill strug-
gle she has had since 1881 when
she introduced her first boneless
model, Mrs. Cromwell explains:
"All women then, and many
now, cannot see how we can ac-
tually control the large hgure 50
that actual measurements will be
as much as three or four inches
less, without the Use of bones. All
that I ask any doubling woman to

Meats, fowl or fish cooked in
this easy manner are invariably

Many women fail when they un-
dertake broiling because of failure
to prepare food before it is
cooked. Steaks or chops should

there is no opposition to their
flavor. The heat should be care
fully regulated so that it does not
lag to such an extent as to
toughen the meat, nor be so ex-
cessive that seorching and insuffi-
cient cooking takes place. To
large extent success is governed
by the position of the broiler or
broiler pan.
In modern ovens this problem
has been taken care of by a simple
little key device that may be

A MONG the most modern
~ methods for reducing the
successful process of broiling to

from heavy gauge aluminium.
This broiler, which incidently
may be used for other purposes,
including roasting in the oven
proper, is ideal when cooking for
two, because of its convenient size.
While the pan may be nominally
considered an open roaster it is
fitted with a broiling rack and a
highly polished aluminium heat de-
fiector.

Shampoo Tint
ReneWS Color
Of The Hair
Oily Formula Restores
Luster And Texture
To Graying Locks

HYED hair has become as out
II of date as horse and buggy.
Not that tens upon thousands of
women aren't retaining the youth
full appearance of their hair by
banishing all signs of gray tress-
es, but the wonderful oil shampoo
tints now perfected that not alone
retain the natural color of the
hair, but actually improve its
brilliance and texture, have come
to be used so widely that your
guess is as good as mine, when it
comes to detecting artificial col
oring.
When an oil shampoo tint is
properly applied it gives the hair
new life, bringing out all the hid
den glory of its varied highlights.
In cases where the hair is only
suffering from scattered streaks
of gray, or has been badly dis
colored because of a poor perma-
nent wave, or overriding exposure
to the sun, the oil tint is given
along with a regular shampoo as
a rinse.
If the entire head is to be tinted
in the event that over-bleaching
has ruined both color and texture,
the hair receives direct applica-
ton of the oil tint on the scalp, as
we'll as the shampoo rinse. Re-
gardless of the method used, the
results are the same and the hair
regains it's original beauty. The
formula of this remarkable hair
treatment is of course secret, but
as thousands of women who have
been using it successfully for
years could attest, it is as HARM
less as it is satisfactory.
Because the shampoo tint is
available in wide range of colors
it is almost nearly always pos
sible to match the original hair.
If you would like confidential
advice regarding the selection of
the shade most suitable to your
hair, clip off a small sample and
mail it, together with a stamped,

~ am And Jelly
Season Is Here
Success Of Home Preserving Largely Depends
Upon Selection Of Worthwhile Equipment
BY Dorothy Blair

PERFECTION in the making of
jams and jellies and preserves
at home lies in giving the most eX-
acting attention to not alone the
important fundamentals, but also
thore small matters which, be-
cause they are liable to slip the
memory of all save the most expe-
rienced persons, must be care
fully reviewed before the making
of such delicacies is undertaken.
II Is natural to assume that only
recipes of known reliability will be
attempted, so with this initial step
consummated the next problem at
hand is to check equipment.
Beginning with the preserving
kettle let us regard just what is on
hand to carry out this work. Now
just any old kettle won't do. First
of all it must be oversize, so that
the liquid will attain a full rolling
boil and rise unchecked to within
a few inches of the top. Jelly will
not jell unless it boils unchecked
in this manner for the given pc
riod of time. The kettle may be
aluminium or have an enameled
surface, only iron is taboo as it Is
liable to give the fruit a metallic
flavor.
A large spoon will be needed, so
by all means see that a wooden
one Is put to use. 1t may have a
solid bowl, or slotted. Often it Is
impossible to obtain very low tenn
perature heat without an asbestos
mat, or a metal plate. Be sure to
have one that has already proven
itself to be satisfactory.
There will also have to be a
large container for boiling jars
and glasses so that they will be
completely submerged in boiling
water. A pair of metal pliers for
lifting the glasses out of the water
are likewise necessary.
And what about a jelly bag? 1t
is most unsatisfactory to use a
makeshift bag when small ex-
penditure will not alone make a
sturdy and properly constructed
bag available, but also a cleverly
built stand that may be placed in
an out of the way spot so that the
juice may drip undisturbed. Many
a batch of jelly has been ruined by
attempting to extract the juice in
a bag attached to the kitchen wa
ter faucet.
A rubber scraper, such as is
used for cleaning dishes is the
best implement to use for remov-
ing scum from cooked fruit. Be
sure to have one handy.
Next comes the matter of jars,
lids, rubber rings and paraffine.
All the careful preparation of
fruit will count for nothing If
these containers and the sealing
agent are not exactly right. The
glasses and jars must be perfect,
and the lids must fit tightly. There
must be no sign of rust on the
metal. And don't be penny wise
and pound foolish when it comes
to the rubber rings and paraffine.
Discard all that was used the pre-
vious season and seal the contain
ers with brand new materials.
The reason for this is so simple
that it entirely escapes many
Imperial Valley press., 1937-04-25

women, namely that used par
affine will undoubtedly have few
germs clinging to it that will not
be killed when it is reheated for
additional use. Those same small
particles of fungi will cling to the
rubber rings in spite of boiling,
and there we have a whole family
of germs all ready and eager to go
to housekeeping in an otherwise
perfect batch of jam or jelly.
The spoilage of preserves can
oe traced to only few sources,
and carelessness in connection
with the materials used for seal
ing is a prime cause. From the
time the fruit has been made germ
free by boiling until 1t is sealed
from the air, everything that
comes in direct contact with the
preserves must be absolutely ster-
lie. That is why thin coating of
new wax is always poured on pre-
serves as soon as they are in the
hot, clean glasses. There is abun-
dant germ life in the air and ex-
posure, even for SO brief period
as it takes to cool jams and jellies,
can bring ruin.
l have found that large alum
mum tray, sterilized by a bath in
boiling water, is by far the best
resting place for jars and glasses.
They may be lifted from the boil
ing water, turned upside down on
the spotlessly clean tray and
quickly drained, then upsided, still
without direct contact with the
hands, and Immediately filed. The
tray loaded with glasses may
later be moved to a more out of
the way place and there Is no ham
ding of the glasses until they are
ready for the final sealing with
wax and the affixing of lids and
labels.
The old idea of taking a day out
for intensive preserving from
dawn to dark is anything but in
keeping with the modern scheme
of planned activity. 1t is far bet
ter to put up from two to six
baskets of berries than to become
worn to a frazzle trying to pre-
serve crate or two.
Preserving in small quantities
is the best insurance know
against disappointment. And even
if success is not attained the in
vestment is not of any particular
consequence, as would be the case
IL dozens of baskets of fruit had
been spoiled.
If you have been hesitant to use
commercial pectin in preserving
you will be interested to know
that as the result of several years
of seasonal testing have found
that the use of good pectin not
alone cuts down the chances OF
failure to an absolute minimum,
but produces really superior jams
and jellies. However, remember
pectin must be used exactly in ac-
cordance with printed instruc-
tions. If you would like some of
our tested strawberry jelly, jam
and whole preserves, using pectin,
I will be very glad to mail you
these reliable recipes without
charge if you will send a stamped
self addressed envelope.

ments to the light weight founda-

tedious progress. Corsets are now
designed with scientific exactitude
and 1t Is Mrs. Cromwells task to
not alone watch every trend of
fashion so far as 1t concerns
changes in the lines of the figure,
but to also create new garments
that will produce the form that is
dictated by the trend in dress de-
signs.
Corset designing is a most ex-
acting profession and this woman,
through her emancipation of
women from the constructing ef-
fects of stiff, tight garments, most
justly deserves her position of
leadership in the industry.
