in the liquid stockings, a daily masterpiece looked at but not ap- preciated Gas Such) by unsuspect- ing eyes. The process of painting on the sun bronze" or Indian tan" leg wear ranges from that of an artists nightmare to test of skill. Yet once the trick of gain ing an even, equal thickness stocking is achieved, then the real fun and comfort begins.
 And comfort may be the biggest selling point of the latest conner into the stocking world. To be able to battle the summer heat with out the feeling of sticky leg cover ings and yrt .evade lifted eye broWs from staunch advocates of puritan apparel is dream full fulfilled, the eXperimenter con- cluded while. parading in her la test seamless skcers in the glow ing sun.
 And yet, the stocking chemists who have conquered score of hindrances, have failed to destroy womens greatest fear, the ever quenchless thought of runs. The gals who do not have the distract ing habit of recrossing legs in close proximity to desks or of using swivel chairs as swings may not get it, But your tester did. A growing streak of white leg on her sun bronze stockings de- stroyed the noble feeling of secur- ity They will not rub" say the advertisers. If you don't rub them, we discovered.
 So now comes finally the sub ject of practicality, undoubtedly controversial one, to say the least. The stockings will wear un- til they are washed off, barring unforeseen scrapings, rainstorms, or dust. But in no way can they be cleaned or patched. A ruined pair means a washed of pair, as your tester discovered when the cruel hard rains came in her lat est stages of experimenting and rushed her stockings to the wash tub. At the rate of a pair day the luxury would be an extrava- gant one. if there weren't other compensations.

Bottled Stockings
 StiH Bring Runs "

Waterbury damsels who are al- ways quick to fall for fads are now picking up bottled stockings, the latest synthetic competitor of the meager silk worm, almost as fast as they swept nylons of the mar ket. Yet observation shows, among other things, that the men have not found 1t out yet.
 To test the advertised merit of the product, including It's charac- ter of deception, your rowing re- porter donned pair of the latest sheer luxury the other day, col- lectcd bit of daring, and entered into leg art display literally as well as figuratively speaking, for the new rub 'em on" creations are subject for artists to con- slider. Her experiment observa- tions and conclusions are heTe- with disclosed.
 A bold and fearful attempt to play fair with the test was made as the rubbed on stockings were put where they could best be seen and were but the deceivable sex. always on the alert for a crack at new hat, hair-do, or other feminine fancy, failed to note this time what they really looked at, chemical ccncoction so superbly tinted and smoothes 1t could outsmart the finest silk, and may yet drive back the prac- tical wartime cotton lisle. The ever-quick- -to-notice males for once kept quiet, thank goodness.
 Careful application is the real secret of beautiful liquid stockings she learned. The first pair put on is like the first pair of chiffons in any young schoolgirls life, a trag- edy Of inexpcrience, a mess Of streaks and stains comparable to pulls and runs of yestcryears. But practice can make a masterpiece

A BEAUTIFUL SEASON

Another day has And another day has gone, We'll stay right here at home, From sunset unto dawn It is such beautiful season, The sun, 1t shines so bright, There surely cannot be a reason Why clouds should mar this lovely sign The wind Is blowing gently Tn breezes soft and still And watch the scene intently Away up here on the hill. The people come and go From every place around. They wander to and fro, About this lovely ground. There's many a shade tree here That brings great relief. And brings timely cheer From suns oppressive heat The day Is passing slowly But soon twill be just o'clock 4 great big flag Is waving Very near this shady rock So will say good bye this time But see you once again. There's many day that's always fine, Apd gree from wind and rain.

improvements in connection with
the Anacostia development ac-
counted for an expenditure of s67.-

total cost of the Anacostia project
to date at $3,833,767.
