Gl0vers Hosts at
Maryland Farm.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Carroll
Glover's farm, Bayields. in Maryland,
Marlboro way, will be the scene of a
genial gathering today with a number
Of their friends motoring down for
luncheon. Weather permitting, SWIM
ming Is in order At any rate. lunch
con is the piece de resistance and the
invitation read, most sensibly, that
luncheon would be "at any time"
which is good idea, since one always
stands the chance Of being lost en-
route and last nights dance was a
late one!
William Taylor Of Philadelphia,
whose house in Georgetown was COM
pleted recently, will give house warm
ing this afternoon and James Beck,
brother of Mrs. Fahnestock, will be
another host at cocktail party today.
This evening more touring in cars Is
in order, for Maj. and Mrs Henry
Leonard will entertain at dinner at
Grasslands, that distinguished club
located out on Nebraska avenue. Mr.
and Mrs. John Hanes and Mr.. and
Mrs. s. Kent Legare also have dinners
scheduled at their respective houses
tonight. So it is easy to see that the
week end of May is is gay one, from
start to finish, and this week shows
signs Of real life with benefits galore
for sweet charity's sake, the first of
the series of three supper dances at
the 1925 F Street Club falling on
Thursday; a dance at the Cuban En-
bassy the following night and the Will
liam D. Thomases' dance Saturday
night. For Comdr. and Mrs. Thomas
hope for good weather, with a moon
and twinkling stars to enhance the
charm and beauty of the garden of
1925 F street, where their dance will
be held.

Women Fight Fire.

When fire broke out in Langrader,
Germany, the women extinguished
the blaze. At discovery Of the fire the
wife Of the man whose duty is to give
the signal blew a long blast on the
horn, but the men, working in the
fields, failed to hear. So the women
pulled out the fire pump and rushed
to the scene. Then they discovered
they had forgotten the hose and eight
ran back to get it. Finally they
ouenched the flames.

MUSCLE, we have the utilization of
all the foodstuffs absorbed in tii-
gestion except fat. And it is quite
possible that the metabolisma sof
fat plGys some part in muscular
contraction. From a study of the
tension of muscles in which 1the
carbohydrate had been reduced by
insulin convulsion, Myerhof and
Gemrlill concluded that part of the
total energy is supplied by other
material than carbohydrate. and
that material must be fat.
Metabolic changes, of course, go
on, in other organs, and the ftEda-
mental foodstuffs and minerals are
used by fthe brain and the bones
and the visceral organs, as well as
the muscles.
All CT these metabolic processes
may go wrong-each one in its
own field. If carbohydrate mecsan-
ism fails, diabetes results. If fat
goes wrong, obesity or
emaciation ensues. If protein me-
tabolism goes wrong. there is govt.
The minerals also produce disease

regulatory.

RADIANT LIVING
OPEN WINDOWS
BY Rev. c. n. Griffeth
Methodist Pastor Of
Deals Island, Md.

Who has not been inspired by the
heroic refusal OF Daniel to cease
praying for thirty days!
Although he knew tnat his enemies
had plotted against his life and that
they were watching to see if he would
pray in disobedienee to the royal
decree of king Darius, Daniel went
to the window of his chamber which
faced in the direction of Jerusalem
and opened it. Boldly he knelt before
it in prayer as he had always done.
OF course Daniel might have
prayed in secret or he might have
prayed through some other open
window But that would have been
cowardly. That would have been a
denial of his God.
There was but one window through
which Daniel could pray in sincerity.
That window was the one which
opened toward Jerusalem.
Not only was it an ancient custom
to pray facing Jerusalem, but thru
that window Daniel saw a great deal.
Through this window he saw the
Jerusalem of the past that once ex-
listed in all its glory but now was |
only a mass of miserable ruins. While |
the old city itself was gone, Daniel !
saw through his open window the
everything God of the present; and |
because of His everlivingness Daniel
saw through his open window the
coming restoration of the Holy City.
To Daniel the open window was a
symbol OF the rich inheritance OF the
ruth from the past. 1t was symbol
Of the living God of the present. 1t
was a SYMBOL of the hope OF future
glory.
How could Daniel close such a
window as this?
Are there such open windows of
ruth, Deity, and hope in your
prayer life?
