Diplomatic
Corps Grows

The diplomatic corps here seems
rapidly to increase its personnel with
new members of Embassies and Le-
cations arriving each month. AS an
example. a year ago the staff OF the
British Embassy occupied two and
O half pages in the official diplomatic
list; in the April book for this year
there are five and half pages. The
war has had a similar effect on
others of the foreign missions IN
Washington. These lists of diplo-
matte representative do not in
clude the personnel of the various
special missions from other coun-
tries.
The Australian Legation has two
new members and lost one compare

rell did not come here to join him.

sIarries, r. A. N, who will maintain
bachelor quarters until the late sum-
mer when Mrs. Harries will join him.

The bride was escorted and given
in marriage by her father. She
was a vision of charm as she walked
to the altar where the bridegroom
stood with his two brothers, Mr..
Gaylord Dillingham;. his best man,
and Mr.. Lowell Dillingham;. Her
gown was of cream color net made
on billowing bouffant lines. The
bodice had tiny cap sleeves and
the skirt trailed into a long train.
Her veil was of rare lace, an heir
loom in her family. 1t was ar
ranged in a most becoming fashion,
with the lace forming halo effect
about her head and then falling
in two deep panels over her net

Attendants Wear Dresses

Her attendants wore dresses fash

and of the same shade. The skirts
were bouffant and the net was
bound with velvet ribbon to corre-
spond with the deep shade in the

 One Distinguishing Mark
 If you look carefully at the new engines as they roar along the streets, you can tell them from a luxury limousine by one thing for sure. That's the chrome attach ments for hose. These are usually just behind the drivers cab. They are chrome, not brass, and are al- most the only remaining pieces of metal work for the stationmen to polish.
 Dealers report innovations in the warning signal. The old equipment was characterized by a bell which a fireman changed furiously as the engine roared to ire.
 The modern siren is electrically operated and controlled by the driver. The sirens shriek is not an infalihle sign of a fire truck. Tn cities such as Detroit, the squawk of tho buckeye whistle has replaced the wall of the siren.
 For use in large communities, an emergency car has been designed with equipment suitable for per- forming any kind of first aid. It is said anything can be done in these emergency cars except perform an operation.
 Manufacturers have made serious attempts to lower the center of gravity so that corners can be turned at higher speeds. They have also increased the wheelbase of ale most every type truck made.

I have made the mistake of over advertising my birthday. I have written about it for the public prints, year after year, trying to make light of my approaching sen- ility. Now we have come to mile stone which cannot be saluted with airy persiflage. If I were a good liar I would say that feel just as young as I did some 35 years ago, when I wrote '"The College Widow" !" However, when I look at a recent photograph or survey myself in a mirror or move about on my rickety legs I am forced to admit that I am no longer a bounding athlete. Flut- tering, but not flying; up and around, but no running any foot races. No longer am I permitted to lam that little pill from the first tee to the final green.

800 DIE WEEKLY.
 IN WINTER FALLS.
Largest Group of Accident Victims Are Elderly
 Persons

With accidental falls killing ap- proximately 800 persons weekly in the United States during the months of February and March, safety ex- perts at the National Conservation Bureau, accident prevention divi- sion of the Association of Casualty and Surety Executives, suggest that this is an especially good time of the year for American citizens to watch their step.
 ''The same toll will be paid again this year." say the accident preven- tion specialists, unless greater pre- cautions are taken especially during the months that the hazards have proved to be most numerous. And this is particularly true of the older folks, who more than any other age group are the victims of fatal falls. Twice as many persons 65 years of age or older are killed by falls as all the other age groups combined.
 Older folks must remember that a slip which might only shakeup a young person quite often is fatal or permanently disabling to those in the older groups.
 Creepers Good On Ice
 "The idea of wearing creepers when walking on icy sidewalks is scorned by many, but creeperS will prevent many a fall this winter. Rubbers or galoshes with high-fric- ton soles contribute their bit to safety. Remember that winter walk ing surfaces are treacherous. Snow or slush may conceal ice or unex- pected holes. Clean porches, side walks and driveways after snowfalls. A sprinkling of sand, coarse salt or ashes will reduce the slipping hazard on sleet or ice-glazed walks"
 Home falls also reach their peak in winter, safety experts warn. Be- cause nights are long and weather inclement, people spend more time at home in winter than in summer. Here are some ways of guarding against home falls in wintertime: Don't allow water from rub
 bers to remain on floors and
 form slipping hazard.
 Be sure all stairwayS are
 well lighted and free from ob-
 structions. A child's toy care- lessly left on dimly lighted stairs
 may cause nasty tumble. Teach children to put away
 their playthings after use.

 KEPT OUT OF SPOTLIGHT AND CEMETERY
 My recollections date back to the Chicago fire of 1871, and the pol- tical campaign of 1872, when the misguided Horace Greeley ran against U. s. Grant. My boyhood was spent in a small town. Later I attended Purdue University and served my apprenticeship on two daily newspapers in Lafayette, Ind.

 You can't tell a fire truck by it's color any more. A flash of Chinese red rocketing along street used to mean one thing-a fire truck. But now fire wagons aren't always red. Dealers here observe marked de- mand for white fire-fighting equip ment. Another popular model is the two-toned job, battleship gray trimmed in cream. Even red trucks are different red. It is brighter, fiashier red with a liberal amount of orange tint. This shade, accord ing to producers, shows up better at night than the old Chinese red.

 Why did I give up writing for the stage?" Because, in 1914, when weighed 130 pounds and was two jumps ahead of a nervous breakdown, my doctor suggested that I could Iot collect royalties while reposing in a cemetery. For 8 good many years after taking the veil I did occasional pieces for the magazines and turned out few books and screen plays, but l was most concerned with under takings which did not keep me in the spotlight.
