The latest story of a beautiful

Greta Carlo. On her recent visit
to New York she put herself in
the hand OF q famous skin spe-
cialist, had special treatment for
adjusting the muscles Of her face,
bought creams to be used at home
and had a permanent wave.
DEPENDED UPON
THEATRICAL CREAM
Miss Carlo, lovely though she is,
undoubtedly realizes that unless 1t
is creamed regularly. dry, sensitive
skin has tendency to lose its
freshness, become crepe-textured
and lined. Heretofore, she has
figured that the amount Of cream
used year in and year out to re-
move her theatrical makeup has
been sufficient to keep her sensi-
tive. rather dry complexion soft.
Now, obviously. she has decided
that cream for use at home Is a
necessity. She will spend the
time necessary to counterfeit the
effect added years have on any
skin.
Beauty treatments do require
extra time, of course, but actresses
figure that it is time we'll spent.

Library Has Demand for
Books on AerOnautiCS

With the national defense pro-
gram under way, the Public IL
brary, Eighth and K street NV. is
experiencing a great demand for
material on many technical subjects.
Engineers, mechanics, students and
laymen in increasing number are
asking for books and information
on aeronautics and allied topics.
Perhaps the most authentic ref
erence book the technology divi-
sion of the library has to offer is
the aircraft Yearbook for 1910"
published by the Aeronautical
Chamber of Commerce Of America.
This covers all phases of aviation
the accomplishments for the year
in aircraft manufacturing. includ-
ing design and specifications; the
activities of training schools and
colleges: progress in Army. Navy
and civil aeronautics. and other
useful information. The Aviation
Business" by Elsbeth Prudential,
outlines its history. the profits made
from the manufacture and flying Of
airplanes, its dealings with the
Government, and its place in inter-
national relations. Airports and
flying fields are part of the avia-
ton business. The vital need for
more public landing fields and the
facilities to negotiate the building
of such are discussed In Stedman

His theory is that the established
idea Of man as a psyche or soul
which assimilates and is affected by
experience is the reverse of the
truth-that man is merely expert
ence. fragmentary, ill-related and
randomly acquired and that there
is no original psyche to be affected
by this experience, but only physi-
cal organism. He does not, however,
stop with this piece Of more or less
traditional materiansm He carries
it on to confound the doctors of
modern psychology in most of their
findings and particularly in their
findings on sex.
He blasts the notion of the split
personality-schizophrenia-and he
casts out the Freudian structure
which rests on the subconscious. He
sturdily undertakes to build up in
place Of these dark hypothesis, the
idea Of the freedom and independ-
ence Of the human mind, subject
only to physical soundness. All our
institutions which are q survival of
the past, he points out, are opposed
to such an independence-church,
schools and social opinion have been
organized to smother it. But he
asserts it and calls for a new kind
Of education and social organiza-
ton to foster it-for a world, in
short, which shall be based on In.
dividualism so strongly that in
dividualism will not be anti-social
but the reverse. And it would seem
to the reviewer, at this point, that
the old social planner is getting
somewhere, too. For, obviously,
q form of organization which is in
imical to individualism carries the
seeds Of death within it, for it is
aimed against its own component
parts. And the finding of all his
tory IS to the effect that men will
ceaselessly engage in destructive
rebellions as long as they are de-
pressed In the use of their individual
powers.
As said, the book seems to be, to
q great extent, simply conversation.
But it is not dull conversational
least, not often. It Is, for the great
part, brilliant and persuasive. It
seems to the reviewer full Of pro-
found truths, wisely handled. As
