bR|NKLEY KILLED,
FAMILY MAINTAINS
Arlington Sheriff's Theory
D. c. Builder Lives Ms
Disputed by Son.

Refusing to accept the theory Of
Sheriff H. B. Fields Of Arlington
County that Arthur G. Brinkley, Al,
Washington contractor, whose auto
mobile was foune mysteriously aban-
doned on g. lonely county road
Wednesday morning, is still alive, the
family of the missing man today
reiterated the belief that he has been
murdered.
THE fact that dads eyeglasses
were found shattered on the floor
Of the car convinces me he was the
victim of foul play" said German
Brinkley, 21-year-old son of the miss
ing contractor.
The elder Brinkley had cashed a
1882 check only an hour before his
abandoned automobile was found.
Dad was almost helpless II he was
without his glasses for more than
five minutes and he owned only one
pair" young Brinkley pointed out at
his home, 5514 First street. 1T is
fantastic to think he would have
wandered off without them. Then.
too. dad would not have emptied his
wallet OF cash and left it behind in
the car with papers that were valuable
to him If he had planned to disap-
pear"
No Signs of Struggle.
Sheriff Fields pointed out that there
were no evidences Of struggle around
the abandoned automobile.
Brinkley's son appealed to Depart
ment Of Justice to assign agents to
aid In the search for his father. point
ing to the possibility that the miss
ing man may be in the hands of kid
napers. His request was denied.
Blnkley said, because he could offer
no evidence that his father had been
carried across a State line.
A thorough search of the heavily
wooded area in the vicinity of Kirk
wood road, where the abandoned auto
mobile was found, failed to reveal anv
clues to Brinkleys whereabouts.
Young Brinkley said he believed his
father was thrown from his auto
mobile some distance away from the
spot where the car was abandoned.
Had No Worries.
Brinkley was last seen alive when
he cashed the $282 check in the
Arlington Trust Co. in Rosslyn. Va
about 10 am. Wednesday. His empty
automobile was found an hour later.
Young Brinkley said his father had
no financial worries and was in good
spirits the morning he disappeared.
Workmen employed by Brinkley on a
plastering project in Arlington County
to whom the contractor talked Wednes-
day morning were questioned yester-
day, but were unable to shed any light
on the case. A workman recently dis
missed by Brinkley was located and
he accounted for all Of his movements
Wednesday morning.
Sheriff Fields said no arrests in the
case have been made and none is con-
templated.

Shrimp Cocktail.

A very special appetizer is pre-
pared with pink shrimp under a
blanket of cocktail sauce, and finely
chopped ripe olives and celery as the
modernistic topping to modern cock
tail.
Allow four to six small sized shrimp
to each serving. Prepare a zeStful
dressing of fourth cup each of chill
sauce and catsup or a half cup of
either alone. Season with six tea
spoons of horseradiSh. a tablespoon of
lemon juice, one-quarter of a teaspoon
each of Worcestershire and tabasco
sauce, half teaspoon of salt, and two
teaspoons of grated lemon rind, meas
ured without packing in the spoon.
This amount of sauce will serve from
four to six persons.
Arrange the prepared shrimp in
cocktail glasses. The addition of a
small amount of pickle relish to the
shrimp is optional. Pour over this the
prepared cocktail sauce and sprinkle
the top with half tablespoon each of
finely chopped ripe olives and celery.
Serve well chilled.
Another form Of ripe olive-shrimp
cocktail uses the same sauce with
shrimp and small ripe olives in quart
ers under cover of the sauce The
combination is Unexpectedly delicious

Manners
of the
Moment

You can just about tell what a per-
son is like by the way she carries
her umbrella in a crowd. There is
the girl who handles hers like a bay
onet or a battering ram. She's the
belligerent and improvident type. You
can't poke the man in front Of you
with the top spike of your umbrella
without getting torrents of water down
your neck. And you can't tell where
you're going, either, so that before you
know it there'll be lamppost around
getting even with you.
Then there is the girl who holds her
umbrella as far above the crowd as her
arm will let her. This type is less
vicious, but almost equally IMPROVE
dent. She often loses her umbrella in
the wind and seldom keeps herself or
any one else dry.
The person who partially collapses
her umbrella isn't so dumb. She can
keep dry and at the same time keep
the Spokes out Of other peoples eyes.
But personally we always feel warm
est toward those who forget to carry
umbrellas at all. They're not really
improvident. They're just preoccupied.

are taking 1t easy. This year most
of the storage holdings were gone by
| January l.
IF egg farmers make material re-
ductions in their poultry f1ocks be-
cause of the high cost of feed, eggs
will become scarcer few months
from now, and prices will be higher.
In the long range interest of both the
| consumer and the producer, the Agri-
| cultural Adjustment Administration
recently made an effort to stabilize
the market and forestall further flock
reductions. 1t has bought up about
| S7O0 900 worth of eggs that were Gre
ating an undue surplus. These eggs
are going to flood sufferers and others
on relief.
Meantime, the homemaker might
serve an inexpensive and delicious egg
dinner or supper once in while.
Shirred eggs in pepper rings, omelet
with Spanish sauce. fried eggs on ham
slices, goldenrod eggs, cheese or fish
souffie are all suitable as main dishes.
When eggs are abundant is also
LIle IlIIle lOI o4l5CA
food, Hollandaise sauce. cream puffs,
fruit whips, and all the egg-rich dain-
ties that may be luxuries in other sea-
sons.
Every additional egg in the menus
means added food value. Both the
whites and the yolks furnish body
building protein, and vitamin G. The
yolks furnish vitamin A if the hen has
had the right food, and also vitamin
D if she has been fed with foods rich
in this vitamin, or kept in the SUM-
light. There is sometimes statement
on the egg box on this point. The
yolks contain some vitamin B and
are a rich source Of iron and good
source of phosphorus and calcium.
THE food specialists offer one cau-
ton on egg cookery. High tenn
perature hardens most proteins. Be-
cause eggs are a protein food, the Sc
cret of success in keeping them tender
is to control the heat.
ITO poach a breakfast egg. drop 1t
gently into boiling salted water In
shallow pan, cover. and Immediately
remove from the fire. The egg itself
will cool the water below the boiling
point, while the sudden heat into
which the egg falls will coasulate the
outside enough to keep the egg whole
while it cooks. The salt in the water
helps to keep the egg whole. A little
vinegar will have the same effect. Or
both may be used. Do not let the
water boil again. Let the egg stand
in the covered pan until firm-about
five minutes.
ITO soft-cook eggs SO that they will
have a tender white (the old term
used to be coddle. and boil is out
moded entirely, start with the eggs
in the shell in cold water TO cover.
Heat the water gradually to simmer
ing, but do not let it boil When 1t
begins to simmer. cover the pan, re-
move from the fire, and let stand for
| few minutes. The length of time de-
pends on the degree of softness to
which you want the eggs cooked and
on the number Of eggs and the size
Of the pan. So it must be found some
what by experience. Hard-cooked
eggs may be cooked the same way, but
kept below boiling over low fire for
80 minutes after the water SINNERS.
"The same rules apply to souff1es,
meringues, custards, omelets. and
| other kinds Of cooked dishes. Use w
heat throughout the cooking. Even
fried egg should be cooked in a
pan with just little fat, moderately
hot. Cover it, If you like the top
coated. Low heat keeps the egg white
tender"

Normal Skin
Apt To Be
N Neglected
Perfection Is Taken
for Granted
Too Long.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

T HAVE yet to receive letter saying.
MY skin is lovely, altogether nor
NAL, and I'd like to keep it that way"
No one ever does anything about a
normal skin-and that's the trouble
We humans invariably take the good
for granted, and we assume that be-
| cause the FateS have been kind, they'll
| continue their bountiful gifts without
| any influence on our part. That
doesn't always work. In fact, it sell
dom works. Nature needs pampering.
If she is good enough to start you
off right, show your appreciation by
working hand in hand with her to
prolong that kindness.
Todays column is prompted by a
| letter from a Mother Who Knows"
Her daughters skin is as lovely as it
can be-typical peaches and cream"
complexion. But she doesn't appre-
| ciate it, and she's too young to imagine
that anything can ever go wrong
with it. She's 19, often gets too
| friendly with sweets. sometimes goes
to bed with makeup on.
The mother knows too we'll that
excess sweets may cause eruptionS
and makeup that Is not removed at
bedtime may clog the pores, causing
blackheads and enlarged pores. So
she wants an article directed to young
things who think that they can abuse
their skin. or at least do nothing at
all about it and keep it lovely
to young things who think they
will always look young and lovely
not because Of, but in spite Of, what
| they do
This mother is right. Young things
have way of struggling their shoul-
| ders-shutting out any visions of un-
pleasantness. If they only knew how
easy it is to keep the complexion
clear and smooth and fine, free from
enlarged pores, free from blackheads,
free from humiliating acne, free from
wrinkles. The normal skin needs onlv
the simplest car. There is no need
to have an array of bottles and Jars
on the dressing table and to adopt a
complicated routine. Thorough cleans
ing is all that is necessary, either
cleansing cream and skin tonic, or
just soap and water "a bland soap,
warm water and a complexion brush,
and then thorough, thorough rinsing
with cold water). Around the ewes
and mouth, where wrinkles are likely
TO park, a thin film of nourishing
cream should be patted briskly. Be-
fore retiring. every bit Of makeup
should be removed and the skin left
free to breathe.
Speaking of makeup; subtle. nat
ural makeup is the most charming
for the young girl.

Too Much
Bad for Us
Physical Ailm ents
May Result From
Active Discomfort.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

# JUST feel miserable. I can't put
my finger on anything, but I'm
50 nervous. so irritable. The chill
dren are driving me crazy. and I'm
sure that it is my condition that makes
them as they are. I can't sleep
night through. don't enjoy my food.
I simply don't enjoy anything any
more"
The doctor looked gravely at the
mother who was sitting in the chair
by his desk, noted the nervous flut-
tering of her hands, the pale skin, the
twitching mouth, noted the sharp
tone in her voice and the restlessness
in her eyes. Worn to a fragile wor-
rying," said he to himself. Then
aloud, Anything worrying you, Mrs.
Sproul? Anything in Particular"
Nothing more than what every
body else has to worry about these
days. Less money, less everything,
more expenses-all that. If one OF us
should fall sick, I don't know. When
money Is so scarce how is one to save
to send children to college? Or for
emergencies? But no. I'm really not
worrying about anything special"
will YOU do what I ask even if it
sounds silly to you?" said the doctor.
Certainly. If you can think OF
anything that will help me get on my
feet, help me to get a hold on myself,
I'll be glad to do it."
This afternoon, walk to the shop
ping district"
II haven't been there for a year.
What's the use? haven't penny TO
spend, even for necessities, much less
for all the things see and want"
"Yes, I know. You don't need q
penny for this trip. I would like you
to go down Main street and study the
shop windows on both sides Of the
street and note down everything you
see that you do not want and would
not take If it were offered you. And
study the people you meet and see
how many of them you would like to
change places with this day. Do this
just because suggest it, and see what
happens Walk down and walk back"
So this anxious, nervous, weary
mother walked down Main street to
see all the things she did not want
and would not take if they were
handed her. She saw plenty. BY and
by she began to laugh at this game.
The pet shop-no she wanted none of
the parrots, none of the puppies. none
of the cats. The drug store. The
windows were filled with things that
she did not want and hoped she would
never need. The windows of the dry
goods shops were the hardest Mother
did like some of the dresses, but she
remembered she was to look for what
she did not want. There was the
funny dress with the hunchy frills and
no back, and no sleeves, the sports
dress with stripes going round and
round, the blue slippers with heels
inches high and the size of dime at
the bottom. This was funny.
And the people she met. Some Of
them very cheerful, some sad. some
shabby and others gaily dressed. mo,
I wouldn't change with you, nor with
you, nor with you" One had sickness,
another had grief. one had tragedy,
another bad husband. Mother be-
gan to feel better
1t is great relief to find that some
body has something you do not want
and would not accept If you could
help it. 1t is wanting too much that
makes most Of us sick.
