The architectural axiom used by
many present-day architects is that
form follows function. And that is
exactly the principle behind the
shoes that today are the teenagers'
favorites. This love for the "ballet
feep is not confined to just the
younger ones. All age groups OF
women who move fast and must
have foot covering that moves
along as. quickly and at the same
time as comfortably, enjoy them.
Dancers and theater people do just
that.
In fact, Capezio has been design
ing on and off stage gloves for the

for 60 years. The business started
originally in little shoe shop near

From L. B. S., Washington.)
I offer the following poem by
Jessie r. Rittenhouse in case you
aren't familiar with it.
MY WAGE.
I bargained with Life for a penny.
And Life would pay no more.
When counted my scanty store:
For Life is Just employer,
He gives you what you ask.
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for menials hire.
Only to learn Sad Sisdmasssedd assed of life
Life would have paid.

us to remove the musty odor from.

damp day we can hardly stand the
smell in the house. Unfortunately
we can't set them out in the sun as
the lot is so wooded we can't find

,gestions as to something we can
rub over them or something to re-
move the smell? We would be more

GERANIUM?

I, too, would like to get Lady

geranium.
Replying to "Gloxinia," from A. c.,
Hyattsville. Speaking from exper-
fence will say gloxinias are gorgeous
house plants. The plants, I have,
have bloomed ever since the first of
April up to the present time. The
foliage is lovely even when there
are no flowers. My bulbs are planted
in combination of woods earth and
rich garden soil. If the leaves turn
sort of yellow and die do not throw
your bulb away, it will sprout up
again after it has rested.
I keep my bulbs slightly damp
during the resting period by water
ing them from the bottom, that Is
setting the pot in saucer of water.
Gloxinias need very little sun light,
early morning sun light is the best.
The midday sun burns the leaves.

From M. C. F., ArIington.)

A party for a 1-year-old should
be built around the idea of the
most pleasure for the adults and the
least bother for the child. Choose
a few close friends, preferably other
mothers with small children. Serve
the adults iced tea or coffee, cake or
cookies, and ice cream, and relax
and watch the small ones amuse
themselves. Do not fuss at the chill
dren to keep their party clothes
clean, do not bother them with
crumbly cake, and unless they are
handy with a spoon do not make
them struggle with a plate Of ice
cream. Give them fruit juice and
cookies, or ice cream cups and cook
les with maybe lollipops as spe-
cial treat. Have the party outdoors
if possible with suitable outdoor
toys available if any one is inter-
ested, sandbox, blocks, wagons, etc.
If the party must be indoors, roll up
all rugs, put away treasures, and let

SQUASH CAKES.

them all to us every month or two.

My thanks also to the lady who
sent in the recipe for Cherry Skillet
Cake. It was especially good made
with blackberries.
A favorite summer recipe might
be of interest to the readers. Squash
Cakes: Mix together 1 heaping cup
finely grated raw yellow squash, 2
eggs, u teaspoon salt, small pinch
soda, - cup milk and cup flour
(enough to make a thick batter) :.
To the batter add 2 tablespoons
melted butter or substitute. Cook
on ungreased griddle, like pancakes
only more slowly. The melted but
ter eliminates the necessity OF
greasing the griddle and there is no
smoke. With bacon strips and a
garden salad, this makes a COM

year-old girl sat alone in a cor
ridor outside the courtroom where
her divorced parents, both re-
married, were telling the judge
they had no place for her and her
11-year-old brother.
The mother, Mrs. Betty Alice
Phillips, informed Superior Judge
Fred Miller yesterday that she and
her second husband, Herbert, had
separated, because of the chill
dren, Shirley and Donald, that
she had sold her home and had no
place for them.
Their father, Melvin David
Smith. a dental technician, has
three other children by his second
wife, pointed out that Mrs. Phillips
was awarded the children when
they were divorced in 1888, and
said there was no room for them
with him.
This is a pitiful case" observ-
ed Judge Miller, where parents
can't take care of their own flesh
and blood"
He referred Shirley and Donald
to a court investigator to find prop
err outside homes, the father to
pay for their care. the mother to

AP NeWsfeatureS Writer

GREECE'S new king Paul is
only the fifth royal ruler since
the Greeks freed themselves 119
years ago. But that is only half
the story.
The rest is a tale Of turbulence
"a tumble of switches from
royalty to democracy and back
again-part of it due to Greek
temperament and part due to
Greece's geographical position
next to the strategic Dardanelles
and Turkey. Final added irony is
that fact that Greece's royal line
stems not from ancient Greece,
but from Denmark, one thousand
miles away.
After the Greeks freed them
selves Of approximately 400 years
of Turkish dominance by the
War Of Independence Q~821-20),
Greece had a short-lived republic.
Count John Capo d'lstria was
elected president for seven years,
beginning Jan. 1923, but he was
assassinated in 1881 and a state
of anarchy followed.
The first king after that was
Otto - son of King Louis I Of
Bavaria - nominated by the great
powers who had helped Greece
liberate herself from Turkish rule
Great Britain~France and Rus
sia). -
Otto was unpopular with many,
first because he employed Ba-
varian advisers to the virtual ex-
clusion of the Greeks and next
because he had no heir. A mill
tary revolt in 1843 forced him to
accept a constitutional govern
ment and another in 1862 cost him
his throne.

DETROIT, April 12-(P-Exami-

Thompson on charges of Staying
his first wife, Lydia, was postponed
today as the state prepared to study
indictments against the defendant
couple.
Common pleas Judge Neil Fitz-
gerald deferred the examination
until April % and released a third
defendant in the bizarre Staying.
Stanley Anculewicz, mustached 49,
year-old pots and pans salesman.
The court also released comely,
3O-year-old Mrs. Laura Riddle,
identified in court as AnculeWlcz's
girl friend, who was being held
as a material witness against him.
Counsel for the Thompsons and
Anculewicz not only protested their
Innocence but also contended that
Detroit courts have no jurisdiction
in the case since the mutilated
body of Russian-born Lydia Thomp-
son was found Oct. -, 1915, in
Oakland county, outside the north
ern limits Of Wayne Detroit
county.
Judge Fitzgerald recognized this
contention in granting a motion by
James McNally, Wayne county
prosecutor, for dismissal of the
charge against Anculewicz. Nc.
Nally also said the evidence was
insufficient to hold AnculeWicZ.
Mrs. Riddle, a pretty brunette,
told the grand jury that Anculew-
icz detailed to her how he killed
the first Mrs. Thompson in a plot
to clear the way for her wealthy
48-year-old husbands marriage to
his secretary.
