Treatment
Heavy Creams Not
For Those With
Greasy Skins
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Culled from reliable book on
home beauty treatment is this oat-
meal bag recipe to correct the ex-
ternal condition of a greasy skin.
Those Of you who are troubled with
excessive facial perspiration may
find great relief in a 12-day course
of this skin treatment.
Make IL small muslin bags and
fill them with tablespoonful of the
following mixture; and tie them
securely:
To one cupful Of oatmeal add one
eighth of a teaspoonful of powdered
sulphur (Which you buy in a drug
store), and one teaspoonful of finely
shaved or grated pure CASTLE soap.
Stir them together thoroughly.
Use one bag every evening for IL
consecutive days. Saturate it in
warm water and rub the face until
it is clean. Allow the liquid to dry
on the skin and then rinse the
face with warm water followed by
cold water. Then apply the fol-
lowing lotion:
To one cupful of cold water add
with an eye dropper. 10 drops of
tincture Of plain benzoin. Leave
this lotion on your skin over night
and in the morning wash your face
thoroughly with a stif1lsh sponge
and plenty of cold water. Use a
reliable astringent lotion as foun-
dation for your makeup.
This simple treatment should cor
rect your oily skin condition. You
should refrain from using any
greasy cream on your skin, and
several times day you should douse
your face with cold water Never
apply fresh makeup to your skin
without first washing it.
Those of you who do complain Of
either oily skin, or a combination
dry-greasy skin. must watch your
diet. Drink plenty of water between
meals (not with meals) and refuse
to eat starchy foods, sweets, rich
desserts, fatty meats. Cocoa, choc-
olate, tea and coffee all effect your
skin so do without them for the
time being II you can.

Dorothy Dix Says
Not Easy to Remain a Bachelor,
Due to the Wiles of Women

Apparently it is easier for a camel
to go through the eye of a needle
than for an eligible bachelor to
remain single. Many men, observ-
ing the trials and tribulations of
their welded brethren. are definitely
determined not to stick their necks
into the matrimonial moose.
No, sir. Single blessedness for
theirs. They are going to lead the
free and untrammeled life of the
bachelor. They are going to have
their money to spend on themselves
instead of having it wasted on
beauty shops and imported finery.
They are not going to give any
woman the right to put them
through the third degree every time
they fail to show up at home on
the dot.
But no matter how wise a man Is
to the arts and wiles of the femi-
nine sex; no matter how often he
Aloo WdCSAlCO ~ . CoO 4to 1lCL dllu
sets its traps; no matter how many
men he has seen f1oated to the
altar on a woman's tears; no matter
how many men he has seen bam-
boozled and bulldozed into marriage,
it does not teach him to walk warily
among the pitfalls or keep him from
getting caught himself.
If you don't believe this, read
this pitiful letter from one of the
victims of the husband-hunt
who, after vainly imagining him
self to have escaped matrimony
now finds it closing in upon him.
He writes: Il am 43 years of age.

AHundred Per Cent
In Five Subjects
Is Impossible
BY ANGELO PATRI.

John, student in his first year
of high school, handed his father
his report card with a flourish.
What do you think of your bright
son now, dad? Pretty good, eh?"
Father put on his glasses and
gave one look at the card, another
at his beaming boy, and said, You
may be all right. and very bright,
but this card says that the person
who gave you such record is
neither one nor the other"
why. dad! 1 thought you'd be
delighted. I got perfect score.
A hundred in every subject. Five
subjects. What's the matter with
that?"

that you did not get a perfect score

But I did"
"You got a perfect score. Yes.
But you are deceived If you think
you are hundred per cent in your
work and behavior. I know you
are not and you know you are not
"Well, the teacher gave it to me" i"
"She is either a young and in

Well pass that up. My business is

think because you have this too

thing. I'm not so sure. Suppose
I test you on these five subjects,
the ground you covered last month,
and see just where you stand
"Oh. we'll, of course don't know
everything We had, but just the
same"
"All right. Suppose you sit down
and write out short paragraph
for each of five points that you
covered in class last month in
biology"
John couldn't do it. Maybe II
was too severe a test at that, fol
one reared on a belief of his per-
fection.
Rating marks cause a great deal
of worry, trouble and confusion
The teacher should have clearly in
mind what the marks stand for, the
basis on which they are given, the
reason for which they are given
My notion is that these marks
are given to indicate the measure OF
success a pupil has made on work
covered for the period. They are
based on his actual accomplishment
They are to inform him about his
attitude, his purpose, his ability as
shown in his accomplishment Of
work measured by the school stand
| ards of success. They are to en-
courage, caution and inspire him tt
further success. They must be fac.
tual, not tinged with emotion OF
wistful thinking.
1t is not possible to achieve 9
hundred per cent in five subjects
unless the pupil is a genius of un.
usual gifts even as measured By
genius. Nor is it possible for 9
child to completely fail in all five
subjects if he has attended classes
There is no field into which thu
teachers personality and power ot
understanding enters so fully as ir
this rating of children, If the teacher
is free to use that power. OF course
where a supervisor orders so many

mayonnaise instead of the salmon
and cheese sauce.
The artichokes are prepared for
service by cutting the stems close
to the leaves and removing about
one inch from the tops of the leaves.
Any dried or discolored leaves
should also be removed and the
artichokes washed thoroughly. A
string tied around the leaves holds
them together during the cooking
process. Artichokes are cooked in
an uncovered kettle in plenty of
boiling salted water for about 80
minutes or until they are tender.
They should be drained upside down

from the leaves and the strings,

this grip and I din't think there

is breathtaking in its beauty.
The lilacs seem to be better than
ever this year-the blooms are full
and rich in color, and the fragrance
is one that is the true breath of
spring. 1t is impossible to get
through ones marketing without
looking like Birnam Wood converg-
ing on Dunsinane behind thicket
Of purple blossoms!
Also outside of the markets one
finds the farm women with their
freshly picked country greens-poke
salad, field cress. mustard and so on.
The poke salad looked particularly
tempting this morning, with its crisp
leaves and f1eshy stalks. Cook any
of these greens with piece of. ham
or fat-back-and treat yourself to
page from your childhood!
Strawberries Are
Especially Fine.
Strawberries from the Carolinas
are especially good this week and
prices have tumbled to new lows for
them. 1t is a good idea to take note
of this and plan on putting a few Of
these berries up in preserves-the
nearby variety later on may not be
quite as fine as these. Next week
we'll publish some jam and preserv-
ing recipes utilizing these fruits
and the rhubarb which is coming in
plentifully now-not the hothouse
type, either.
Broccoli seems to be bit woody
and too near Towering to be a good
choice at the moment. Caulihower
heads are small. but beautifully
crisp and white. Big, shiny leeks vie
for attention with spring onions and
buttony red radishes. And there are
plenty Of nice artichokes to lend
change to your menus.
Veal Is Best
Meat Buy.
Veal seems to be slated as the
meat buy of the week end, with lamb
a little higher in price than it has
been, and beef having been served
in so many homes of late. All cuts
will be available and the meat is
tender, juicy and delicate at this
time Of year. Baby broilers, fryers
and ducks continue to attract buy
ers to the poultry counters.
The fish of the hour is shad, both
buck and roe. Baked shad is a
delicacy no one can resist-and if
you have the fish boned at the fish
market or bake it the slow, five
hour way until the small bones more
or less disappear, you will enjoy 1t
more. The roe by itself is, of course,
delicious, and is really best when
broiled and served with parsley but
ter. However. 1t can be used as an
appetizer by being broken up,
mashed slightly, mixed with enough
egg and fine breadcrumbs to hold
1t together, formed into tiny balls,
and fried in deep fat. These can
be served on toothpicks, with or
without tartare sauce.
Sunday Supper Dish
Suggested
Before we take up the Sunday
dinner, here is suggestion for
supper that evening. If you don't

Fill them with mixture of salmon
and cheese and serve hot. For

And she is going ahead with her
plans for the wedding next month.
Moreover, because of my religious
belief I cannot marry a divorced
woman and I personally loathe di-
vorces. If I marry this woman, it
will be only for sympathy and false
sense Of honor. How can I get out
of it?"
Simply by stif1ening up your back
bone and having enough courage and
manhood to tell the designing mink
that you are not going to marry her.
She can't drag you to the marriage
