Federal WPA
IsBefore
Columbia
BY SID KATZNELL

Members of the Senate Beer bas-
ketball team are today receiving
rounds Of praise from their nu-
merouS supporters.
Last night before an enthusi-
aStic and notable crowd at Tech
High School the yellow clad ath-
letes surprised even their staun-
chest rooters and defeated IA
vorite Jewish Community Center
quintet, "a to IS, in the feature
game Of the Washington Times
Community Center League. The
Times is sponsoring this league
and awarding valuable prizes.
Displaying a devastating pass
ing attack, Columbia Beverage,
padded with some Of the finest
independent players in the city,
Subdued the Federal WPA, 33-27,
In the opening game Of the night.
Notable People
The league opened auspiciously.
Bill Werber, star third Sacker Of
the Philadelphia Athletics, threw
up the first ball, while such prom
inent civic leaders as Mrs. Eliza
beth K. Peoples, director Of the
Community Center; Henry I.
Quinn, a member Of the School
Board; Edward RoSenbloom, a di-
rector of the Jewish Community
Center, and Harry English, direc-
tor Of athletics of the Community
Center, were interested spectators.
Action and more action was
seen in the Jewish Community
Center-Senate battle.
With George GosS, six foot five
center, ringing points with un-
canny accuracy, the Center team
grabbed 7-to-1 lead before the
game was a couple minutes old.
However, Center's prosperity was
short lived. Fred Scheele, Sen
ate's guard, found the range of
the hoops and sank a pair of
field goals to put the Beer out
fit back in the running.
Earl Grove, husky six-foot four
center, miraculous over head
shooting, enabled Senate to hold
a is to 13 advantage at inter-
mission.
Grove Shines
Not satisfied with his brilliant
performance during the first half
Of the game, Grove virtually won
the bacon for the Beermen. Co
ing into the last five minutes
Of competition, Senate held a
1913 lead, and the game was
very much in balance until Grove
came through with his spectacular
exhibition. He made three field
goals in three minutes, all of diff
ficult variety. Huck Cavanaugh's
floor play was also an asset to
Senate's attack.
GoSs, the former Dartmouth
star, was truly the outstanding
player on the Jewish Community
Center quintet. His passing was
especially noteworthy.
Although he wasn't inserted
into the fray until the second
quarter, Abe Rosenfield, former
C. q. player, played a commenda-
bic game.
Hunter, lanky center, was the
outstanding player in the .Colun-
bia!WPA game. He scored six
points and his accurate passes
enabled his teammates to score
baskets. Badger tailed II points
for WPA.

EAR Mrs. Post: Does an invl-
~ tation to the wedding reception
or to the wedding at the house al
ways necessitate sending present
to the bride? I know It Is a rule but
I wondered just how hard and fast
It was. The question Of buying pres
ents constantly Is becoming a seri-
Gus handicap to our already rather
strained income. In some cases we
hardly know the bride and groom
and In others we don't know the
young people at all.
Answer: The giving Of presents Is
much more a matter Of personal
feeling, and of your ability to buy
them, than of rule. Although II is
always rather expected that you
send a present when you accept an
invitation to the house, this is really
not an obligation to the extent Of
preventing one who can not afford
to send a present, from going to the
wedding. On the other hand, II the
bride Cor groom) is a personal
friend or their families are very
intimate friends you would certainly
try to send a present even though
her wedding was so small that you
could not be invited.

He went into the sickroom, and
Vicky waited. There was big
Spanish chair in the upper hall of
the Morrison place, and she sat in
it and clasped her hands to keep
them still and prayed. A Navajo
blanket, richly striped with yellow
and black and scarlet, had been
hanging over the black iron railing
of the stairway; she wrapped it
about her; the night was bitterly
cold.

Silence and night and vigil. IN

hours and the half-hours; outside IN

easily, and now and then broken
branch skittered on the thing OF
the roof, In the upper Railways OF
the Morrison house one lamp
burned softly, steadily; from the
half-open door that led into Sper-

voices, the creaking Of bed and
the c1inking of ice, and once
sort of bubbling groan that made
Vicky's heart stop for a moment
in terror.
She prayed, trying not to think,
drowsed, awakened with start to
find that it was not all strange

Morrison house in the middle OF the
night, Quentin was behind that bed
room door, bringing all his skill,
every ounce of strength and knowl-
edge and inspiration that he could
muster to the saving Of Spencer
Morrison's life, and Serena was in
her bedroom only a few feet away
somehow living through the hours
that would decide whether or not
she would be tried on charge OF
murder.
What was she doing? Vicky won

the group hours earlier, had closed
her bedroom door upon whatever
she was experiencing, suffering.
Furious with fear, the accusing eyes
of both doctors upon her, their fiat
refusals to perjure themselves in
protecting her still ringing in her
astounded ears, and Spencer strug-
Cling in death throes of her causing,
she had angrily withdrawn. Had she
flung herself down on her bed and
fallen into dreamless sleep? Vic

She'll go away, and this time next

thing else!"
She could reassure herself for q

Use of MOnOgrantS.

n EAR Mrs. Post: What is the
proper arrangement Of initials
in monogram? I am thinking now
of the monogram that has taller
initial in the center. Also, Is a
monogram ever carried out on the
envelopes, and if not, may return
address be put on the flaps Of en-
velopes to be used with paper
marked with a monogram?
Answer: When the initial in the
center is larger it is always the ini-
tial of the surname. 1t is proper,
if you like it, to have the address
stamped on the flap of the envelope
for paper marked with a mono
gram, although strictly speaking
formal notes are sent without any
return address. Paper marked with
a monogram is more formal than
paper stamped with an address but
of course you can use it for any
personal letters.

Interchurch World Movement

The interchurch world movement
originated in 1918, and projected
the raising Of a vast amount of
money - one billion dollars - for
the spread of the gospel and Chris
tan religion on entirely undenomi-
national lines. It also projected
the use of the influence of the
church in lettering social, eco
nomic and industrial conditions,
and for this end caused surveys to
be financed and made. The move
ment was not successful and co
lapsed in 1921.

Women in Might Clubs

Women in Night Clubs
n EAR Mrs. Post: I was much
interested in your article in
which you said that women should
not go to q night club unaccompa-
MED by a man. Won't you please
tell me whether this also applies to
the early dinner hour? / sometimes
go to New York accompanied by
my mother, or other older woman
relative, and instead Of having din
ner in a quiet restaurant we like
to go to one that has Broadway at
mosphere with music and show.
Answer: A young woman dining
no matter where and staying for
awhile with her mother or other
older woman relative is quite diff
ferent situation from that of two
young women going late to night
club without a man!

Vicky heard Quentin mutter as If
he spoke to himself: eve all stand
there talking while the poor fellow
dies!"
Then they were in the sickroom
Vicky watching her husbands, rath-
er than the patients, face, her own
face rejecting the fluctuations of
feeling she saw there.

clutching at his hand, all personal
feeling forgotten in the grips Of life
and death, "you can do something
for me, can't you? For Gods sake
get me out of this, operate, do any
thingl That ass there" he whis-
pered, with a Pickering glance at
that agitated Cudworth, "tells me
I'm washed up. There's something
you can do?"
Quentin spoke urgently, definite
ly:
"Vic, get to telephone and tell
Anna to come over right away with
that big package that's on my desk !;
it's from Lengfeld's-she can't miss
it. Rush it! And just as soon as
you've done that, get the amah to
get plenty of hot water, boiling wa
ter. l suppose there's a table here,
long table, flat"
"You think so, Doctor?" faltered
the other doctor.
II know sol" Quentin shouted,
suddenly mad with impotence.
"Just lie quiet there, Spencer" he
added to the patient, land we'll get
you out of this if we cam"
"I've got an even break?" Spen-
Ger asked.
"Not quite so good. We won't
know quite what chance you've got
until we've gone little further. All,
here's our nurse. We want a surgi-
cal bath here, nurse, as fast as you
can manage it; we've no time to
waste"
Vicky ran downstairs, ran upstairs
for sheets; Serena was not in evil
dence, and nobody asked for her.
The nurse suggested rubber sheet,
and Anna painting in with the big
bundle, was sent flying back to the
Hardistys' for one. Presently there
was nothing for Vicky to do except
sit on a chair in the hall and wait
and think-and wait.
Quentin came out with nurses
white apron tied on him back to
front and asked for soda, just
plain kitchen soda.
Sand you might as well 60 home,
Vic; this'll take it out of you"

When Not to Tin

n EAR Mrs. Post: have gone for
~ years to very expensive hair
dressing establishment and have al
ways left a tip for those who take
care of me. In discussing the ques-
ton with a friend, she believes that
their prices are exorbitant enough
SO that no tip is necessary. To sub
stantiate her side Of the argument
she gave me for example some OF
the better restaurants in which no
tips are expected.
Answer: Unless the restaurant or
the hairdressers have signs plainly
explaining that no tipping is per-
mitted, you would be expected to
tip at the usual rates. And unless
your total bill is very high your
percentage would, if anything, be
slightly higher than in similar
places having cheaper rates.

MANICUREs AT HOME

across the edge Of the nail to re-
move the loose bits of nail which
will be clinging TO the edge.
3. Soak your hands in warm,
soapy water to loosen the dirt. If
you have stiff handbrush, scrub
the nails with it. This keeps the
skin under the nails healthy. and
gives it an attractive tint.
4. Clean the nails with the or
angewood stick. Never use the point
Of the file, as this will make a line
across your nails. And your or
angewoOd stick should have a dull
point-if it is too sharp, twist a bit
Of cotton around it.
8. Soak the cuticle (the skin
around the bottom Of the nail) with
your cuticle cream, or with olive oil.
Then, with the cotton wrapped
around your stick, gently push the
cuticle back of the nail so that the
moons" will show at the base. If
there are any loose bits of cutlcle,
or "hang nails" clip them off with
your scissors, or remove by applying
cuticle remover. (Many women are
learning that the use of cutlcle re.
mover is preferable to the use Of
scissors.
6. With clean piece Of cotton
on the stick, apply nail bleach or
plain lemon juice to the under side
of the nail to whiten 1t.
7. If you-dont use a polish, you
can heighten the luster of your nails
by going over them with a buffer. or
by rubbing the nails of one hand
against the palm of the other. II
you use liquid polish. either color
less OF tinted. merely apply II ami
let IT dry-don't bun over it. In
case you tint your nails. 1t is ne
longer considered stylish to tinl
them all the way to the end lei
the color stop right at the line where
the bleach underpart of tn nail
begins.

When you want to look your very
best, there's nothing that puts the
finishing touches on thai dressed
up feeling better than having your
nails manicured by a professional
cosmetologist. But most girls can't
afford to have that done regularly,
and In between times they must
care for their own nails. If 1t Is
done properly, the manicure you
give yourself at home can make
your nails almost as attractive as
a professional treatment.
Here are a few tips that will help
you do good job:
1. You will need a long, slender
nail file, not too rough; an orange
wood stick; cuticle scissors, or
cuticle remover; some emery
boards; a nail bleaching cream |;
cuticle cream; polish and polish re-
mover. If that's too big an invest
ment, you can use olive oil instead
Of cuticle cream, and use pure le-
mon juice for a bleach. but you will
need the scissors, file and orange
wood stick. It's wise to buy a fair.
ly expensive pair of nail scissors,
as the cheaper ones are frequently
too dull and too poorly made to cut
properly.
2. First file the nails to the de-
sired shape. Remember what we
learned in the last column-lOng
nails are for long fingers, and short
er nails for shorter fingers. Don't
soak your hands in water first. but
do your filing while they are dry
and the nails are stiff. Don't scrape,
the file back and forth. but stroke
in an upward direction. toward the.
tip of the nail. Tilt the tile toward
the under side of the nail a little
bit-this helps shape the nails even
ly. and helps get under the corners.
When the nails are shaped properly,
give them a few strokes with an
emery board or file downward
