WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

President Roosevelt, in Wyoming to-
day at the outset of his mon political"
junket to the Pacific Coast, bumped into
paradoxical political situation Cunning
for Senator OMahoney, Democrat. arch
foe of the court bill, F. D. r. will find
that Wyoming as whole preponder-
antly approves of the Senator's attitude.
His fellow Democrats, being ardent New
Dealers, were and are for the most part
with the President in the court contro-
versy. But Wyoming is normally Re-
publican territory, so counting the Dem
ocrats who support OMahoney with the
Republicans who are anti-Roosevelt on
general principles it may be ranked on
a Statewide basis as opposed to the
President on the issue he is now carry
ing to the Western country. OMahoney
isn't UP for reelection until 1910. If
the G. o. P. goes down the line for him,
as the party is expected to do in many
States where anti-court Democratic
Senators aspire to succeed themselves,

man should be fairly safe three years

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Most amateur photographers have
their finishing" done by professionals,
and in the main get very good work.
There is great fun, however, In doing
1t for ones self.
The revived interest in photography, as
the result Of the present vogue for the
miniature camera, sometimes called the
candid camera, has led to renewed in
terest In all phases Of the art.
Developing the negatives one takes,
and making from them ones own prints,
is something which the amateur must
experience in order to become enthusi-
astic about.
In the old days, even the small boys
developed and printed their own.
1t was part of the game.
knowledge of developers, hypo, wash

ture taking as the camera itself, the
lens the shutter, the little gadget you
pressed.
Then came the publicity which inti-
mated, and quite truthfully, that all one
had to do to get good picture was press
the button-some one else would do the
rest.
1t was true, and 1t worked, so that in
time developing and printing became re-
served for the professional finishers.
Only few hardy amateurs kept on
with red lanterns-kerosene and candle,
in those days-and the smell of de-
velopers, the never to- be forgotten sour
odor of hypo, the washing for an hour

ming over on the floor at last.
Today all that excitement is returning.
Thousands are going back to develop
to see that only in this way does one
stand chance. of getting the full ex-
element out of photography
Yes, excitement is the word.
There are few gentle thrills akin to
that Of watching a roll of film come to
life" under the chemical persuasion of
the developer.
Today this is done by the light of an
electric bulb colored with the proper
amount and type coloring to keep out
the actinic rays which would turn the
exposed film black before the work
could be completed.
1t is true that there are tanks, in
which one may do the developing, in
the daylight, and in which good results
are to be secured, owing to the latitude
Of the modern films.
There is no thrill, however, about that
process.
That only comes when one seizes one
end of the film in the left hand, and
the other in the right, and see-saws it
back and forth in the developer liquid,
stopping every now and then to hold
the strip up to the light, to see how
the work is coming on.

There lies the fun, a great deal of it,
aided by the mystic red light, and the
knowledge that unless the work is done
properly which, above all, means care
fully, it will be failure.
Trepidation is there, pleasantly, but
none the less effectively.
From the moment one unWraps the
squirming alliance of film and black
paper, pulls it apart at the stuck end, and
dips that writhing monster into water,
to give it preliminary bath. there is a
feeling of necessary haste mingled with
an absolute need for careful work.
The time for developing an average
roll will be but a few minutes, during
which time almost anything may happen.
Not quite so much, of course, as might

BY PHILANDER JOHNSON,

Bond of Sympathy.
He said he loved the mocking bird,
With lay so boldly sung.
He spoke not of the strife that stirred
Where reckless speech was flung.
He mentioned not opinions grave
Upon some sporting chance,
Nor thoughts of those who spend or save
In realms of high finance.
He may be brave to do and dare
In the ambitious throng,
And yet his heart has time to bear
The burden of a song.
And so in deep content I heard
His greeting kind extend.
He said he loved the mocking bird.
I knew he was friend.

The Republican National Committees
Executive Committee yesterday failed to
take action on the proposal laid before
them for a national Republican conven-
ton to be held next Spring. The Execu-
tive Committee passed the matter along
to the full National Committee, which
is expected to meet in Chicago in No
vember. Much sentiment has developed
for such convention. There are hard
headed leaders among the Republicans,
however, who do not see what can be
gained by holding convention next
year. They fear that such a conven-
ton might result In disastrous rows be-
tween Republican factions - with the
conservative and progressive wings of
the party at odds.
The supporters of the proposed ma
tional convention, on the other hand,
insist that the G. o. P. must draft a
statement to the people that will rally
them again to the Republican standard.
The trouble lies, however, in possible
disagreement on the principles and poll
cies to be set forth in such a statement
Those who oppose the convention idea
believe that it is too early for a national
pronouncement by the Republicans
with presidential election not arriving
until 1910. They think that they can
do very well In the congressional cleo
tions of 1888 without national conven-
ton. Furthermore, they are looking
more and more to the Roosevelt admin
istration for the issues. They foresee
falling away from the New Deal be-
cause of . number Of things the Presi-
dent and his supporters have done-and
what they may do In the future.

IDEAL for Spring vacation wear
in warmer climes, especially if a
cruise is contemplated, is this very
outstanding combination of some
of the newest developments in the
making of fine fabrics. AS a softly
feminine adaptation of the classical
tailored mode, this clever combina-
ton of black and white provides
cool suit which will lose none of

how high the thermometer may
climb.
The hip-length, checked jacket is
made from a new fabric that COM
bines the now familiar acele with
rayon. This material does not
crush easily and is woven in such
clearly defined checks as to offer
pleasing contrast. When the jacket
is removed, a simple, short-sleeved
dress is revealed with high neck
line tied in white pique and two
flap pockets on either side of the
front bodice, features that are be-
coming to nearly everyone. Worn
with one of the new rough straw

evitable nosegay, and black pumps,
an extremely smart and wearable
outfit is achieved, perfect for city

Own Quarters
For MenfOlk
Good Idea
Masculine Hideout Gives
The SeClusion Liked
By Most Men

4 IUCH as mankind seeks group
NJ habitation, both with regard
to family life and participation in
community living, there are times
when the very force of living de-
mands solitude.
Men seem to feel this urge much
more than women, which brings us
to the problem of affording a man
this needed privacy in face of the
restrictions of modern living.
However much a man may love
his family, when things go wrong
he feels an overpowering desire to
be alone, to think things out slowly
and without disturbance. Again,
many men long to develop hobby
which pleases themselves alone.
There would be more married
happiness if wives would more
readily recognize this typical mas
culine characteristic and make
some provision in the home for the
rest and relaxation of their hus-
bands. A refreshed mental outlook
on living is invariably the result
when a man is permitted such free
dom.
Very often only a small cubicle,
in either attic or basement will
suffice. The simplest. sort of fur
nishings will prove adequate, and
even a discarded radio will be well
coined. But so far as superintend-
ing the building or arrangement of
the room, let that rest with the
man alone. Most men have very
set ideas, and to be able to have
free reign in fixing up hideaway
prompts everlasting gratitude for
the blessing of a wise wife who
knows just how far her influence
should reach in the home.
Individual likes and dislikes, of
course, designate the size and type
of room that will be the exclusive
province of the master Of the
house. Card-playing husbands will
naturally consider game parapher-
MALTA along with other furnishings;
studious men will want plenty of
shelves for books; the camera ad-
dict will require darkroom;
while the man who is handy with
tools needs work bench and stor-
age space for his equipment.
Because from childhood on, most
men have been living in homes
wholly dominated by a woman, the
privilege Of having portion of the
house that is his sole property,
over which he exercises complete
control, reacts most favorably on
the disposition and mental state of
the individual fortunate enough to
possess a retreat.

Genuine Desire
Wins Beauty
Madame Rubinstein, international Authority
Says Determination Results In Charm

, The gospel of beauty preached
by this famous woman revolves
around individual determination to
fulfill the demands of beauty. Ex-
perience has shown her that most
women fail in their quest for
beauty solely because they are
lacking in a sufficient amount of
self control to truly dedicate their
lives to beauty of soul and body.
Casting aside weakness of purpose,
which in the average womans life
manifests itself in feeble alibis,
such as, 81 haven't the time," II
can't afford to spend money on ex-
pensive cosmetics" or, my skin
and figure have always been hope
less, so what's the use?" Those
who really seek beauty recognize
these excuses for what they are,

THERE are few truly beautiful.
women in the world, because
so few are really consumed with
the desire to be beautiful. 1t is one
thing to idly long for beauty, and
another to dispassionately inspect
ones features, good and bad alike,
and then firmly set out to rise
hbove ones shortcomings and
emerge vital and lovely person.
The successful career of Madame
Helena Rubinstein, who has made
the attainment of beauty both for
herself and for thousands of wo-
men throughout the world a busi-
ness, is a most typical example of
this sound theory.
Here is a woman well in middle
life who has garnered for herself
