lust Ab0ut WASHINGTON
Bv Hobe Ridinfs Mile,

Recently completed in Washington
as a surprise for the Chinese Min
lister for Foreign Affairs, DR.. T. v.
Soong, was an exquisite statuette OF
his wife, one Of the most striking
beauties ever to be resident of the
Nations Capital. Nine. Soong and
her children have lived quietly in
their Woodland drive home without
the man of the house for many
months. He has been in Chung
king, and his stay there might have
been prolonged indefinitely If he had
not been appointed delegate to the
forthcoming United Nations Con-
ference in San Francisco. When
news of that hit the headlines,
Joseph Anthony Atchison, the sculp-
tor, speeded his work on the f1gurine
in order to finish it before DR.. Soong
arrived,
Eight inches tall, it is done in
black wax, and the detail is perfect.
Which metal will be chosen for
the final casting is a question that
DR.. Soong probably will decide.
With its strong sense of rumor and
its knowledge of fabulous stories
circulated about the Soong wealth,
Washington has been whispering
that the statuette will be done in
solid gold! Ridiculous" was the
answer to that given by close
friend of Nine. Soon 1T may be
done in plastique or bronze, per-
haps silver covered with gold leaf.
But certainly not in solid gold at a
time like thiS!"

Your Psychologist

By DR.. w. II. Young


Nerve exhaustion is becoming
more common. There are many
people suffering from this COM
plant, yet know nothing of its
cause or cure Some of the symp-
toms are weakness, dizzy spells,
insomnia, digestive disturbances,
disordered vision, palpitating heart,
construction about the head, back
ache, loss of memory, and pulsating
sensations throughout the body.
Either all or part of these symp-
toms are present.
There is also a sense of impend-
ing trouble, a worried and fretful
outlook. The patient usually be-
lieves he has some serious organic
disease, but upon examination no
physical cause is found. Nerve ex-
haustion or neurasthenia is a
functional disorder due to COM
plex areas in the subconscious
mind. Cure is effected when the
real cause is found and eliminated.
AS we know nothing of the con-
tents of our subconscious mind
there is little we can do to over
come this complaint without COM
petent help. The constant anxiety
associated with this disorder re-
duces ones life to misery and
worry. It can be cured and the
sufferer returned to normal health
and happiness.
If you suffer from the above
symptoms. Phone MA. 1925, DR..
Young will give you the details.

Nv ROSELLEN CALLAHAN
NEA Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK. - Just as much
caution and thought should go into
the choice Of children's playthings
as is given to their formula or
diet, says the National Safety
Council, which is making a nation
wide appeal to parents to play
Safe this Christmas season.
=. Time and again tragedy, rather
than happiness, has come from
toys, which are bought without
inquiring into what materials they
are made of, or what hazards they
present.
INQUIRE ABOUT DYES
In buying playthings or cos
tunes, the Council cautions par
ents to inquire from sales clerks
what kind of dyes and pains
have been used, and to refuse any
articles made of highly fammable
material. 1t recalls last years
Christmas tragedy when three
children were burned to death and
several others were disfigured
when the brushed material used in
imitation fur cowboy chaps caught
fire.
It's also important, the Council
says, to select something appro.
pirate to the youngsters age and
strength. A gift too heavy for a
three year-old to handle may
easily lead to an injury. Many
toys also need parents super.
vision until the child knows, how
to handle them properly.
For instance, an air rifle, arch.
cry set, dart game or chemistry
set can be very dangerous if the
child is too young to understand
the hazards involved. Even, older
children should be cautioned con.
tinually about their use.
Remember babies and toddler:
have a habit of putting everything
in their mouths. Never give them
small toys, marbles, beads OF
coins. A daily check should also
be made of toys to make certain

Market Street Business
Site Again Rejected

The request of ]. A. Smith for
permission to build an auto sales
room at 8O8-810 Market street was
rejected again yesterday when a
Planning Board decision was up
held for the second time by Board
of Adjustments of the City Plan
ming Board.
Smiths attorney made the re-
quest for the second hearing on the
application by Smith, after the
boards membership had been in
creased by two members. The
number of board members had
been enlarged after objections had
been made that three-fifths OF the
Adjustment Board were also men,
bers of the Planning Board.
The appeal board, set up to re-
view Planning board decisions, IS
at present composed Of Gilbert
F. Morton, chairman, H. R. Emory,
L. w. Moore DR.. ]. c. Vessel,
City Manager A. c. Nichols, Mayor
w. IIOlld1O AdIlC, o11A SAty iAA6AAASS~
j. A. Loughlin.
All, with the exception of Lough-
lin, were present this morning.
In executive session after hear
ing attorneys for both sides, the
board voted on a motion proposed
by VESSEL that Smiths petition
be denied. The motion was carried
by vote of all members except
Morton, who as chairman did not
vote.
Emory said the question was not
whether business eventually would
encroach on the Market street
area, but rather when"
He said it further was question
of trying to make that encroach-
ment as orderly as possible and
that he spoke for the Planning
board in saying he felt the time
had not yet arrived.
