However, recent tests made in New
York were startling. They brushed
shoe polish over a piece of turquoise
silk and wiped 1t of; even subjected
similar pieces Of fabric to grape
juice, tomato juice and ink-with
the most amazing results. So far,
however, we have not found the
fabric in Washington, but we feel
sure that there will be plenty of 1t
in time for spring and summer play
clothes. We're still looking, and
doubtless in q little while we will be
able to find 1t here. Just one more
bit of magic to emerge from the
chemistry lab. 80.
Hats, too, have taken q turn to-
ward the unusual. The latest are
bonnets made of wood which are
being shown now for cruise wear
and will be worn later with your
spring ensembles. Looking at sew
eral the other day, we were i'm
pressed with the beauty and prac-
ticability of them. They are said
to be rain proof and require only
the care that you would give to a
fine straw hat. Made out of such
weird things as mahogany, birch
and tiger wood they are undoubted-
ly one of the most unusual styles
to be seen lately. Moreover, they
are very attractive - beautifully
made and smartly trimmed. Amaz-
ingly enough, they are light and
not a bit stiff as you might i'm
agine. In fact, they tell us that
the strips of wood used are only
about 1/100th of an inch thick.
If you can imagine that!
Possible Trend
In Hosiery.
Our own private little scoop of
the week: 'Tis rumored that the
latest wrinkle in stockings (no pun
intended will be a set of three
instead of the usual pair. If all
goes well, Washington women will
soon have the advantage of buying
their hose in sets-hence, buy two
sets and have three pairs of stock
ings. Our own private little infor-
nation gatherer says that this idea
will revolutionize the hosiery busi-
ness and we can see how it we'll
might. With this new arrange
ment, you will save a great deal
and be able to match up your
stockings when one insists upon
getting run in it. OF course, we
can't say definitely that this plan
will go through, but the chances
are excellent. Anyway, more about
it later If it becomes a certainty
and even If 1t doesn't, it's won-
derful idea, don't you think?

Acquaintance in
Another Way
BY ANGELO PATRI.

1--WE just called up the Salvation
Army to ask them to come for some
Of these things. Jackie cannot
possibly use them all. The place
Is jammed with them. While he is
at Auntie's I'm getting the place
cleared q little. When he comes
home he will be loaded down. 1t
does seem too bad"
How in the world did you come
to get him 50 much? After all, a
child can use only one ball at a
time, or one wagon"
do you think I bought them?
I couldn't afford it in the first place
and wouldn't If I could. His
aunt adores him and keeps send
ing him anything and everything
she thinks he could possibly want"
Does he really like the things?
Use them? Seems to me this con-
fusion would bother him, make
him fussy and cranky. I don't
know"
"He loves to get them. He's de-
lighted every time package comes.
But it doesn't last. He goes from
one thing to the next without much
interest in any of them. And he
is getting little spoiled. I'll have
trouble for q few days after he
comes back. But she loves him so,
and he loves her just as much.
What can you do?"
There are adoring aunts and
uncles and grands just like that.
Nobody would deny them the love
of the children or their enjoyment
of the children's affection. But If
they could only understand that q
child's affection is not bought by
toys and gifts Of money and trips
and the like, things would be much
better every way.
Children need few things as
things. They play mostly in terms
Of imagination which is the best
kind of play for them. A few prop
critics at q time are all they need
or can use. What children need is
affection and understanding and
sympathy. BY sympathy I mean
that kind Of understanding that al
lows soul to speak to soul in COM
pretending silence. That is what
all children long for, and If they
had the power to tell it, what they
would say to those who lavish gifts
upon them.
It is possible to bribe children
to look to one for gifts. It is pos
sible to stimulate a lust for pos
session in little children. But that
is about all that this sort Of giving
accomplshes. It never cultivates
loyalty, love and sympathy. These

child's spirit, gifts or no gifts. If

tance Of the child by listening to
his stories, comforting him In his
distresses, sympathizing with his
dreams and hopes and ambitions.
Give him plenty Of encouragement.
Give him yourself generously. In
that way his love is won.
One of the best ways Of helping
a child materially Is to lay aside
q fund for his education, or fol
his marriage, or his entrance into
business. He need know NOTHING
about this until he Is old enough
to understand and cooperate IL

it's time to start thinking about
your wardrobe for spring. 1t may
be early-in fact. you may not even
have finished assembling your win
ter wear-but nonetheless spring
forecasts are deluging this depart
ment. And it Is a well-known fact
that misery loves company-so:
Color Important
Next Season.
You can prepare yourself for q
spring just chockfull of color. More
color and newer shades than you've
seen in many moon: more startling
combinations; much, much more
emphasis on color coordination
than in the past; gay hues, subdued
ones, color used as a basis and as
q complement. Remember that,
even though the first signs of spring
are a long way off. And keep in
mind that in the approaching sea-
son you will be more color conscious
than you can ever remember being
before. To show you an example
OF what we mean, four leading &C
cessory manufacturers have banded
together and agreed on six leading
colorS for spring. Their idea is to
simplify this problem of matching up
your accessories and make it possible
for women to buy pair of gloves
IN one shade and then to traipse
around to the hat, hosiery and hand
bag departments and select those
articles to match-merely by naming
the color. If it takes-as it surely
should-there will be no more tear
ing around with shoe in one hand
attempting to find hat that will
somewhere nearly match it.
Shoes, too, will stress color for
spring. One of the leading designers
informs us via letters and samples
Of leather that his shoes will be
matched to the colors of many cos
metics. He sends us six shades to
60 with various makeup colors and
they do look like wonderful tones.
The old story, they tell us. is to
match your shoes to some note in
your costume; the new one is to
match them to your lipstick, eye
shadow or powder. 4 grand idea
and one that women should find
most interesting.
Spot Resistant
Cloth Is New.
Still another new idea comes to
us from one of the largest manu-
facturers of cloth. It seems that
they have developed new fabric
which is not only water repellant,
but also spot resistant. Sounds al
most too good to be true, doesn't it?

Young Men
Have Skin
Careless Shaving
And Poor Eating
Usual Cause
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.


Very Often young boys and men
write me earnestly about their skin
or hair problems, or ask for advice
about something which is troubling
them. I like these letters and I as
sure all these gentlemen that their
inquiries are kept confidential and
If they inclose a stamped (3-cent),
self-addressed envelope they will
receive a confidential answer.
A pretty universal problem among
these inquiring young men is blem-
ished facial skin. So today devote
this column to that distressing con-
dition.
Up until a very few years ago lit
tie was done to help boys and men
to clear their skin, and many suf-
fered in silence.
Sensible eating habits play an i'm
portant part in any corrective treat
ment, and so do sane smoking and
drinking habits.
Frequently dermatologists request
an acne patient to stop drinking
alcohol and smoking while he is be-
ing treated. This request has Moth
ing whatsoever to do with morals
or the physicians desire to stamp
out what in older days were called
"evil habits! Indeed not. But It
has a lot to do with the patients
chance for quicker recovery from the
annoying skin ailment which embar-
rasses him no end. For alcohol and
tobacco df inhaled or chewed) very
often cause an unfavorable reaction
in the body's blood which must carry
the nourishment in the skin. So a
boy who refrains from drinking and
smoking and eating wrong foods at
wrong hours will help himself
greatly to acquire a healthy, clear
skin, which every man desires.
Your razor, shaving brush and
strop should be sterilized each day
After shaving separate your razor,
pour scalding water over it and dry
it thoroughly. Put it away in a COW
cred case or box which you must
keep clean.
Your shaving brush should be
sterilized In the same manner or bv
rinsing it thoroughly in warm water
to which has been added a few drona
OF household ammonia. Hang It "a
the water runs OIL the brush and
not down into the roots of the

At least twice a week run a cloth
saturated with good antiseptic over
your strop, If you use one. Then
when you sharpen your razor you
will not carry infection germs ID

En- route SO days across the Great

Meyer been forced to keep inshore,
adding some 900 miles to the OPEN

Meyer used 17foot standard
canoe equipped with air tanks in

Loaded with camping gear, COM

about dozen or so cabio have been

at the time of year they take that
many in two days.
George Shaffer, Jules Kicker and
Bill Garrison supplied the main
course last Monday at the regular

They went fishing and
caught 81 rock, 3 to pounds,
trout, two of them 5-pOund-

hardhead and spot.
Four of the rock and one of the
trout were baked and made ready
for the Monday luncheon. But it
being holiday every one apparently
was out Of town and no other than
the three fishermen showed up. So
Garrison dug up IL men from the
regular Neptune Room patrons to
help eat the fish.
Tomorrow the luncheon probably
will attract more anglers. Don't

'oweboa Off for WORLDS One of Longest Squadron Runs Ever Held
Rossi' Speed Record,
Made Here, Among
Many in Danger
Numerous Attempts Due
This Summer to Ruise
Motor Boot PAGES

NEW YORK, July 8.-World motor
boat speeds, which are topped by
the unlimited hydroplane mark of
1908 miles an hour Sir Malcolm
Campbell made with his special
mile trial boat, Bluebird, in Switzer-
land last fall, may have a general
revision this summer in view of
the many record attempts planned
here and abroad.
Campbell will lead the assault on
the speed tables and is planning to
make run next month, probably
on Lake Bala, in Merionethshire,
England. with new boat built
from American designs.
Raises Coin for Campbell.
The town Of Bala is raising a
$4,000 fund to provide the facilities
that Sir Malcolm considers neces-
sary in connection with record
run on the lake.
Jean Dupuy, French outboard
driver, now lays claim to the world
class x outboard record of 1903
miles an hour, made over a l-kilo-
meter course on the Seine at Paris.
This mark, if approved, will surpass
the 1912 m.ph speed made two
years ago by Bedford Davie of Tux
edo Park, N. Y, and probably will
start American outboard pilots
working to bring the toga back to
this country.
ROssi's Record in Danger.
Among other international water
speed records the Gold Cup. or 12-
liter standard of 81 .408 mp.h. es-
tablished by Count Theo Rossi of
Italy at Washington, D. c., in 1897,
may be subjected to attack. RosSi
still is racing the same record
holding craft, Alagi, but several new
American Gold Cup boats have
been built for which speeds of up
ward OF 100 miles an hour are
claimed.
With the unlimited speed already
at l30 miles an hour, motor boat
officials hesitate TO comment on
what the next few years may con-
tribute TO the record tables. From
1929 to the current season the mark
has jumped nearly 38 miles an hour
in the span of 10 years.

Yachting Boom
Some Vision Prosperity,
Others Just Attempt
To Dodge 1t All

NEW YORK, July 8.-Yachting
costs money. Even a small sailing
yacht involves considerable outlay.
A sailing dinghy, for instance, costs
as high as $500 and so on upward,
not forgetting the cost of upkeep.
The amazing demonstration Of
yachting power which has marked
the current season, in view of busi-
ness conditions, is amazing. Some
yachtSmen, businessmen of stature.
capitalists, with whom the writer
has talked say that it is indicative
of better feeling throughout the
country as regards conditions.
Others, perhaps less informed. Ger
tainly more cynical, say that the
immense outpouring of yachts at
regattaS and the large number of
cruising yachts in commission
simply mean that sailingmen well
come the opportunity to leave their
desks and get away from it all.
Whatever the reason may be, the
fact remains that in all Yachting
centerS the season is having one
of its boom years.
