December is hospitality month. The spirit of Christmas inspires many parties, some informal, others more elaborate. Edith Barber, lead ing American home economist, has just written a useful book for wo- men who entertain and employ oth- CTS to help them serve and keep house. It's called Speaking of Serv- ants"
 For the hostess who has some one to help her, or for the woman who must do her own serving, the fol- lowing section from Miss Barber's Speaking of Servants" will be a practical guide during this season of many parties:
 THE PASSING AND REMOVAL
 OF FOOD .s
 If you are training a waitress, you will find it simpler to make it a rule that all food should be pas- sed, placed, and removed from the left. All beverages are naturally placed, and removed from the left All beverages are naturally placed, poured, and removed at the right.
 "The waitress should be shown rather than told how to pass dishes containing food. which should be held low enough to make 1t easy for the person to whom 1t is being passed to help himself. The serving fork and spoon should have their handles toward the guest, with the fork to the left of the spoon.
 "The method of removing the din- ner plate with the right hand and the bread ad-and-butter plate or salad plate with the left hand should also be shown. The way to fill water glasses without removing them from the table and by holding napkin in the left hand slightly under the mouth of the pitcher should also be demonstrated. The general rules for serving may be summed up ai follows:

That is why woman lose her figure, get lines in her face and gray hairs in her head and still be loved by the young and old who know her.
 She has learned to think of others, rather than herself cheerfully to step out of the glamor com- petition and to help other people every time they give her chance
 HER PERSONALITY BECOMES A MAGNET
 When woman has learned all that from life, she acquires a warmth of personality that draws others to her, matter what she looks like.
 You can almost recognize these women at glance. Their faces are alive interested Their eyes soft and quick to show sympathy When they smile, there is light behind the smile.
 In contrast to them the who have never learned to think of others instead of themselves who demand attention and sympathy from their friends instead of giving it. They have learned

Gloufing Yourself
R ANeia HaE4

(NEA Service Staff Writer)
 The beauty-minded woman begins right now to think about the way she wants to look at holiday par ties.
 She decides what she is going to wear to afternoon and other in- formal affairs as well as to the big ball on New Years eve. She shops for the right accessories to wear with the new dress and the old ones. Nobody catches her having to battle her way through last-nir- ute shoppers to find an evening bag or some stockings or jewel for her hair.
 She gets the new permanent wave at least week before Christmas, planning to have her hair washed and set again the day before. A permanent goes into the softer waves and ringlets after the second setting.
 If she has decided to change her coiffure, she experiments now and during the first post-permanent Set- ting-not the day be-ore Christmas or the day before an important par ty. A new hair-do generally takes some getting used to. She wouldn't think of going to party in coiffure, hat or anything else which makes her Self-conscious.
 SHE GOES ON
 SENSIBLE DIET
 She loses few pounds if neceS- sary. She doesn't go on a Starva- ton diet and try to lose good deal of weight in the shoSt space of time before Christmas, of course. She simply eliminates all desserts, rich gravies and sauces and 2 great many starchy foods from her diet for couple of weeks. At the end of that time, her waisIiine is slim mer and she feels more alert and energetic.
 She puts more emphasis on rou- tines to make her hands winter, smoother, softer. She messages To- ton into them after each washing, uses wet pumice to smooth away stubborn callouses, and remembers to push cuticle back with a towel as she dries her hands. And she experiments with new shades of nail polish.

Driver Seized After Chase
OF SO 10 80 M.P.H.

A 36-year-old white man. who
vainly attempted to elude two mo-
tor cycle policemen early today in
a go to 80 mile an hour race
through Northwest Washington, was
being held by police today.
Policemen G. F. Brown and Har-
rell Reagan said he would be
charged with passing through three
red lights, driving at an unreason-
able speed, driving without a permit
and unauthorized use of an automo-
bile.
The chase began on New York
avenue near the National Arbo-
return about 4 m, when the police
men started to make a routine check
on car proceeding west at low
speed. The machine drove away
the policemen said, and sped
through red traffic signals at New
York and Florida avenues, Florida
avenue and lexington place and at
Florida and Rhode Island avenues.
The pursuit ended on Fourth street
near Mcmillan drive NV, where
the car crashed into a curb damag-
ing the two right wheels.
At this point, the driver sprinted
of, but Policeman Reagan overlook
him when he stopped from exhaus-
ton.

7 Marriage Certificates
Land Witness in Jail

Charles ]. Coleman, Is, colored
of the 800 block Of M street S.W..
yesterday was found in contempt of
court for having testified he was not
married to the defendant in an as
sault case, but to the complainant.
Marriage certificates were produced
to show he was wed to both.
The contempt ruling was made by
Judge Walter J. Casey who i'm
posed sentence of 48 hours in Jail
and $40 fine or an additional ID
days in jail.
The findings grew out of the fol-
lowing procedure: On Tuesday
Coleman appeared as a Government
witness against Mrs. Grace Myrtle
Coleman, of the 1900 block of Della
ware avenue S.W., charged with
assault. AS he went to testify a
defense lawyer asked the court to
inform the witness that, standing
on his legal rights, he did not have
to testify against his wife.
At this juncture. Assistant United
States Attorney Stephen Haycock
asked the witness to whom he was
married. Whereupon Colem a n
named Mrs. Louise Coleman, COM
plainant. The defense then pro-
duced a marriage certificate to show
the witness was married to Mrs.
Grace Myrtle Coleman in June,
1899, at Boyds, Md. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Haycock shortly there
after produced marriage certificate
to show the witness had been mar
ried to Mrs. Louise Coleman in the
District in october, 1886.

Lump-Sum Retirement
Pay 10 Employees Denied

A plan which would permit Gov
ernment employees, when retiring, to
take part of the money credited to
their retirement account in a lump
sum payment and purchase an an
nuity with the remainder was
blocked today by Acting Controller
General Richard N. Elliott. who said
It would not conform to the inten-
ton of the Retirement Act.
The proposal, which came from the
Board of Actuaries. was laid before
Mr.. Elliott by the Civil Service Com
mission. which expressed doubt as to
It's legality.
Under an amendment to the Re-
tirement Act adopted year ago,
employees are permitted, at their op-
ton, to put more money in the re-
tirement account than the statutory
3h per cent of pay, to purchase
larger annuity than they otherwise
would receive. 1t was the idea of
the Board of Actuaries that this
voluntary contribution might be
turned back in lump if an employe
eventually decided this was prefer
able to increased pension payments.

that the only ones not mailed direct
ly to the graduates homes were those
given out at Bethesda Chevy Chase
High School.
He said there is nothing unusual
about the certificate idea and ex-
planned that "a great many Con-
gressmen have been awarding them
to high school graduates for years. ="
Mr.. Austin said that postage on
the certificates mailed out by Mr..
Byron was paid by the Representa-
tive himself and that the certifi-
Gates were not "franked.'
Following the mailing of the Ger
tiflcates to the high school, it was
said, Mr.. Byron received a letter
from Principal Pyle on June S in
which the latter is quoted as fol-
lows:
II have your letter of June l. The
certificates have arrived. I shall
see that they are delivered to each
graduate. Graduation from high
school is an important event. It
means much more to young people
than they can possibly realize at
this time. Your notice of the &C.
casion is in keeping with its i'm
portance."

ond letter asking for the home ad-
dresses of those students was re-
ceived, but because of the many de-
tails incident to preparations for
commencement the letter was not
answered.
Some time later" Mr.. Pyle said,
II received through the mail a GER
tiflcate from Mr.. Byron for each
of the graduates with the request
that they be distributed. Since the
senior class already had been dis
missed for the year the certificates
were placed inside the diplomas of
the students and given to the grad
yates on commencement night"
DR.. Edwin w. Broome, superin-
tendent of public schools in Mont

know of the existence of such q Ger

That's why, explained the young

thing to the fund to send needy
children to camp. They wanted to
get the children out OF the kind
of environment that breeds de-
linquency. ...v~--s..- --

what happens to the youngsters who

For some children" she said.
camp is the first experience they
have had in q place where fair play
is the rule rather than the excep-
ton. They can establish there q
way of living that they carry back
with them to their homes.
You'd be surprised the effect it
has on those children to realize
that somebody cares what they do,
that somebody is interested in them.
It gives them something to live up
to.

I'VE feel that by sending young
sters to camp we, have eliminated
some Of the possibilities Of delin-
quency. We have given them some
thing on which to build"
That feeling Is duplicated in ev-
