D. T.. Naval Reserves
Face Stern Test
In Annual Cruise
Four Destroyers Sail
For Trip to Stress
Bottle Problems

-Four destroyers of the United
States Atlantic Fleet steamed down
the Anacostia River shortly before
noon today. starting 14-day train
ing cruise for officers and men of
the 1st Battalion, United States
Naval Reserves in the District Of
Columbia.
Three of the destroyers carried
one division each of the local bat
talon. while the fourth had aboard
a division of Reservists from Pitts
burgh, Pa, who arrived here early
today.
The ships composed Division 81
of the Atlantic Fleet, commanded
by Comdr S. N. Moore. U. S. N.
This cruise marked a new and ad-
vanced phase of training for the
members of the Naval Reserve.
During the current cruise tactical
maneuvers, battle problems and
formations will be stressed in the
training Of the citizen sailors, rather
than the mere instruction in ship
routine and target practice which
has prevailed in years past.
Will Test Reserves.
1t indicated a move on the part
OF the Navy Department to deter
mine whether the reservists, under
their present training plan, are
ready to take upon their shoulders
operation of vessels of the fleet in
time of national emergency.
The destroyer division will con-
tinue down the Potomac River and
Chesapeake Bay and steam out
through Capes Henry and Charles
to the southern drill grounds. AS
soon as they arrive in the area the
various ships will fire their target
strings before engaging in the
more important maneuvers.
Heretofore. the reservists have
have spent the first week of their
training in preparation for the
gunnery exercises and the second
week in firing. They will fire at
moving target while on the south
ern drill grounds.
Week End at Fair.
After completing their gunnery
off the Chesapeake capes, the
vessels, under their present plans,
will head up the North Atlantic
Coast for the North River, New York,
where both officers and men will be
given liberty on the next week end
to visit the Worlds Fair. However,
it will not be a weekend holiday

Accepting
Formal
Invitation

Dear Mrs. Post: What type Of
letter paper should I write on to
answer a formal third person invi-
tation to dinner that my employer
received from the head of the State?
This invitation was addressed to
him at the Office. He is accepting,
and has turned the invitation over
to me to see that it is correctly
answered. And here + am, not at
all sure of how to proceed in such
a circumstance as this!
Answer-In most very smart OFF,
ces, each executive has an especial
paper for personal correspondence,
which has none of the names OF
branch Offices or other information
used on regular Office paper. This
paper is smaller in size and it merely
has the name of the firm and the
address, or possibly the name of the
man who is writing the letter and
the Office address. Therefore If
the invitation was sent to your en-
ployer as head of his f1rm-that is,
II IA oiAy way 1le Is REPRESENTING LID
firm at the dinner-then you would
write on this best Office letterhead
paper. If, on the other hand, he
is being asked as an individual, then
he writes on his personal paper that
is engraved with his name, or more
likely with his initials and then
the Office address beneath them. If
your employer hasn't any paper
like this I think it would be good
idea to remind him to get some,
since 1t Is rather expected that all
important executives have It.

Manners
of the
Moment

Any hostess knows how it feels
when, at the end of big party,
her smile begins to freeze into her
face. Mine got so bad once, that
1t started to twitch on me. It was
most disconcerting, for I found my
self inadvertently grimacing at just
the wrong people.
AS matter of fact, I don't be-
ueve that the frozen smile bothers
the guests as much as it does the
hostess. they don't notice. At
least it's smile, and 1t was a good
party and that's all any one asks.
But just to make life more COM
Portable for the hostess during this
gala season, I'll make one little
suggestion. I've tried 1t, and know
it works. The hostess should take
time off every once in a while dur
ing the evening to frown. It re-
lakes the face. She can do 1t when
she powders her nose, or when she
dashes out to the kitchen to see
how things are getting along, or
when she meets her husband in the
crowd. A. good frown once every
Is minutes will preserve the fresh
ness of that good-by smile. Try it
and see If I'm not right. JEAN.

Brushing Is
Essential
Teach Youngsters
Proper Care of
Skin and Hair
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Ironically, women always begin to
take care of their health and beauty
just when they begin to lose them.
Few have the foresight to preserve
them and stave off the ravages of
passing years! But wise, modern
mothers today, having neglected
themselves, realize the Importance
Of training their young daughters
in sensible care of skin, hair and
figures. A little vanity hammered
into rebellious heads is a great asset
throughout life!
With excellent prepared shampoos
selling for little money, and good
hair brushes available at moderate
prices, the home shampoo Is greatly
simplifed, and young things may be
easily trained to give their heads
scientific and beautifying shampoos
under the family shower.
Pre-shampoo brushing is most es-
sential to loosen and remove dead
cuticle from the scalp and dust
from the hair, which washing alone
will not thoroughly accomplish.
And finger massage to stimulate the
scalp does wonders In keeping hair
lustrous and of the natural coloring.
Blond hair particularly is benefited
by finger massage.
Teach your daughter to take pride
in keeping her hairbrush and comb
Immediately clean. A good hair
brush is grand investment in
beauty and will be a stanch friend
for many years, so 1t deserves intel
ligent care!
Proper brushing is up and away
from the scalp, with strong vibra-
toring strokes with a firm bristle
brush. The younger child, however,
may find 1t easier to hang her head
downward and brush from the scalp
to the ends of her hair. If she will
take separate strands of her hair at
a time she is more likely to remove
all the loosened cuticle and dust.

Probably your wardrobe cannot

But it can be quite as becoming.
How do these women do It?
Well, to begin with, they man
age to re-design themselves
through optical illusions based
on certain fundamental artistic
principles.
These principles are well known
to every designer. But to the
American public at large, they are
hidden mysteries closely guarded
by the high priestesses of fashion.
And no wonder. Because once
you know what certain lines, COL
ors, and textures will do to your
appearance, you will know whether
to take them or leave them.
You can pick and choose quite
successfully in ready-to-wear de-
partments because you'll know def
nitely what to do and especially,
what not to do.

Trying to Fit
A Child to
Pattern
His Training Must
Be Well Suited
To His Manner
By ANGELO PATRI.

Working with mothers ana chill
dren I think I see something OF a
common habit among mothers. Each
of them seems to have in mind some
particular pattern of child upon
which she wants to fashion her
youngster. Usually the child does
not fit the pattern; occasionally 1t
does.
Having a pattern for child's
training is q good idea in itself.
The trouble comes in selecting
pattern that is wrong for the child
In question. If he happens to be
hand-minded, then trying to make
him q scholar won't do. II he hap
pens to be a primitive-minded sort,
then trying to make a society gentle
man of him is not going to succeed.
II the girl is a domestic being she
will not fit the movie-queen pattern.
So it goes.
1t Is natural for mothers to dream
It Is essential that they have hopes
and ambitions for their children. 1t
is most essential, however, that their
dreams be allied to these hopes and
ambitions and that all Of them be
related to the capacities, the gifts,
the nature Of the child concerned.
If this is not so the child is certain
to be very unhappy, and I have
never known an unhappy child to
be successful.
There is an old saying, "Cut your
pattern to your cloth" 1t holds
here. When the child comes, he is
not according to the specifications
of the dream-child. Perhaps once
in a million times he is. The mother
is faced with the actual child-not
the handsome, fairy princeling-but
the homely, bowling youngster with
more strength than poetry In his
makeup. This is no loss. A healthy,
hearty child is far more likely to be
success in life than the one who
looks like mothers dream.
Most of the people in the world
are ordinary. They are born, grow
into maturity, fall in love, marry
and establish homes and families.
They manage by hard work and sac
rif1ce to keep a roof over their heads
and educate the children. That was
the pattern of your parents lives,
and of your life, if you are the usual
parent. Why not. then, select a
pattern for the child, rather closer
to home and family than to the
elect and the elite?
I have met many children-good,
healthy. ordinary youngsters-mak-
ing their grades in school, preparing
for college, getting ready to take
their places among the rest of us
as ordinary citizens. I have seen
them made unhappy, put of their
stride by the mistaken ambitions
of father or mother Instead of
being pleased by the steady progress
of the children these parents were
dissatisfied because they were not
outstanding in some way or other.
The No. l child, the gifted child
who dances, or acts, or sings, Is no
more likely to be outstanding 20
years from now than one of these
apparently ordinary ones who are
getting passing marks, taking their
regents, graduating on time, enter
ing college and business in their
course.
I have a deep regard for the or
dinary child who is healthy and
happy and does passing work in
school. He is a good child and he
deserves honor, for upon his
shoulders will rest the burden of
the next generation. It is he and
she who will establish homes, rear
children, pay the bills and support
this Nation.
