contrast, there is q brilliant cloak

to indicate that its original owner

The oldest place probably dates
back to Civil War times and there
are numerous examples of fashions
in the late nineties, as well as the
"fiapper" period
Parasols and fans are also in the
collection and there are many old
bonnets but not as many hats as are
desired.
Mrs. Samuel Herrick, president Of
the guild, has appointed Mrs. J.
Brent Clarke to head the new Com
mittee on Dresses.
Funds for the renovation of the
costumes are limited, Of course, but
one of the first things to be pro-
vided will be cellophane bags. A
room set aside for the collection will
be as nearly like museum as posi-

The most jaded appetites are de-
veloping healthy keen edges in
anticipation Of the good things to
be served at the benefit supper Tues
day from 5 to 7 O'Clock at Sandy
Spring, Md. under the auspices of
the Womans Board of the Mont
gomery County General Hospital.
Those who have attended the
benefit suppers of this board in past
years know that it is we'll worth
saving ones appetite in order to
enjoy the bountiful dishes prepared
from famous old Maryland recipes
handed down for many generations
from mother to daughter.
Served on long tables, under tents
on the lawn Of the Sherwood School,
will be great platters Of home cured
ham, beef, salads, hot rolls, Mary
land beaten biscuits and fried
chicken, fried on the spot according
to good old Sandy Spring recipe.
Those who might not attend the
hospital benefit through philan-
thropic motives would do 50 if for
no other reason than to enjoy the
beaten biscuits for which Sandy
Spring has been famous.
Made from recipe handed down
from the Brooke family, early resi-
dents and founders of the Sandy
Spring neighborhood, the method of
making these beaten biscuits is
unique and novel. The dough is
beaten. on large biscuit blocks which
have been in the family for gener-
ations, with the broad side of the
plain old family wood ak brought
In from the woodshed for the occa-
sion. A good biscuit beater is sup
posed to be able to beat out a batch
of biscuits in about an hour.
Several commercial biscuit beaters
have boasted of their prowess as
beaters and are in the market for
employment, but Sandy Spring resi-
dents will not patronize commercial
beaters; that is task Of honor to
be executed by the housewife or
under her supervision. Residents of
Sandy Spring tell an amusing story
of one of their friends who went to
New York to visit her daughter
Hoping to surprise daughter with
some homemade biscuits, she used
the rolling pin to pound the dough
on the kitchen table, but she made
so much noise that the janitor sent
the police to ask her to stop.
Beaten biscuits are usually made
Saturday morning and saved until
Sunday night, when they are served
with plain cake and sauce" for srp-
per. A good biscuit must be light
and feathery.
Dozens of chickens are donated
for the supper and piled high on
platters for guests to help themselves
to as much as they can eat.
In addition to the good food, there
will be a fortune teller, booths at
which candy and cake, aprons and
white elephants" will be sold, bingc
games and dancing. Music will be
furnished by the Washington Gas
Light Co. Band after the supper.
Much laughter was created by the
sale last year of an old mustache
cup to the wife of one of the few
men in the county possessing a heavy
wing shaped mustache of the early
90s style.
The supper, the purpose of which
is to raise funds for hospital equip
ment, was started about 10 years age

She stated that among those who

her compatriots her home, Lady
Astor took them to the small cem-

Canadian soldiers who died during
the war.

cries" she said.
Not only did delegates and mem
bers attending the conference profit
by the exchange of ideas, Miss
Regan said but all felt that a better
understanding had been promoted
among the women of the nations.
The idea prevailed among the
delegates" concluded Miss Regan,

Members of the guild have not yet
decided on the best methods OF dis
PLAYING the garments to advantage.
Their first steps as custodians, how
ever. will be to mend and clean the
costumes and to classify each article

1t is hoped that all pieces received
In the future will have the name
of the sender, for cards indicating

Tar Jelly Shampoo
Rids Hair of Oil

EoR excessively oily hair. q prom
inent Fifth Avenue beauty shop
recommends an occasional tar jelly
treatment.
First. the hair is thoroughly
brushed. Then handfuls Of the
jelly tar are applied and the scalp
Is lightly massaged from five to
ten minutes. At the end of that
time, a quarter Of a cup OF tepid
water Is poured on the jelly-satur-
ated hair. This forms a thick
lather, OF course. Massage with
lather Is continued for three more
minutes. followed by continuous
rinsing with a strong hand spray.
The rinsing Is all important. The
salon which features the tar jelly
treatment for an oily condition
sprays the hair for at least five
minutes, then finishes with rinse
made from a special water soft
ener powder. This leaves the hair
soft in spite of the drying effects
of the massage with the tar jelly.
TRY LEMON RINSE
FOR DIRT, BRITTLE HAIR
L,OR hair which is too dry and
l. brittle and therefore pretty diff
ficult to manage, lemon rinses are
recommended. To give yourself a
lemon rinse. simply add the strain
ed juice of two fresh lemons to
the next to the last bowl of rims
ing water. Finish with a clear
rinse and dry by hand, If possible.
Remember that brushing is the
great cure-all. Experts recon-
mend a nightly workout with a
good brush whether hair is dry,
oily or just normal. Furthermore,
it's a good idea to keep on hand
a tonic especially designed to cure
whatever scalp defects you happen
to have. Be sure to use it exactly
according to direction.

VAN YER, b. c.
Edgar c. Thrupp, Vancouver's
earthquake forecaster extra
ordinary, smiled wisely as he
read of the earthquakes which
struck widely-scattered parts
of the world this week and
commented: 81 told you So"
Thrupp, who is an engineer,
predicted in an interview last
month that there would be a
period of serious quakes be-
tween Christmas day and Jan.
10, so these latest distur-
Dances did not surprise him.
Thrupp said he had warned
the Turkish government long
ago Of Wednesdays quake at
Anatolia, just as he had
warned 1t of the quakes there
Nov. %.
Thrupp said the period OF
earthquakes was not ended
with this weeks disturbances.
He predicted there will be a
half-dozen more serious quakes
by Jan. 10. including tremors
in Chile, California and Japan.
Then, he added, new wave
of quakes will come between
July 20 and Aug. 5, and be-
tween Oct. 20 and Nov. 10.
Thrupp predicted the last
two periods would be the
worst of the century. They
will correspond, he said, TO
the two earthquake waves in
1922, which killed about 10000
people in Asia Minor and
wrecked 500 miles of the Chill
can coastline.
Thrupp's theory of earth
quake forecasting Is based on
planetary attraction. When
the gravitational pull of the
