Old?
By yosethine Lopman

During a recent visit to Hollywood
I spent several days on studio lots
Hollywood has a tremendous effect
on. style and certainly is moldel
Of beauty standards. There you will
find some OF the greatest experts
in clothes styling, hairdo, makeup
posture, 'grace Of movement anc
dancing. These individuals were
most helpful and presented ideas ir
feminine glamour which I will pass
along to you from time to time.
# you are human you would find
1t fun to meet the stars you have
seen on the screen. was very much
impressed with the freshness of the
young stars and starlets with whom
I talked. Their compilations are
beautiful and belle indulgence in
rich foods, indoor life and lack OF
exercise or sleep. Beside that, there
is wholesomeness about them.
The ones 7 met were charming
young people, ambitious and hard
working, with holy respect for the
value of good health and the things
that build it, and with a graciousness
Of spirit ingrained by the hard work
they have done to get where they
are. Most of them have young
husbands or live with their mothers.
On the Columbia lot, for instance,
I found Gloria Henry, lovely young
woman from New Orleans, whose
beautiful voice is the first thing you
notice, although everything else
matches it. Gloria is young
married woman. She got her start
through radio. Perhaps this is the
reason she is so impressed with the
Importance of woman's voice. She
feels that a pleasant voice is a
paramount requirement for charm
and thinks that every woman could
improve her voice If she would just
give thought to 1t. Soft tone and
good enunciation go a long way
toward creating an attractive per-
sonality.
Gloria has lovely figure but said:
II eat everything but If my waist
line ever begins to bulge I will Ger
tainly do something about it." After
thinking it over she added: Actual
ly really eat only two meals a day
"a large breakfast and large din
ner, and I walk a lot"
Adele Jergens was on call the
same day. Adele has. that start
lingly lovely combination, blond hair
and brown eyes. She watches her
weight carefully in order to keep her
perfect figure and when she sees the
scales climbing at all, she cuts out
desserts and starches. Her schedule
makes the average housewife sound
like lady of leisure. When shooting
picture. Adele gets up at 4::30 in
the morning in order to be at the
studio by 6. She has one hour for
lunch and works until 6 at night.
When on this schedule she goes to
sleep at $3.50 or 10. Miss Jergens
lives with her mother and feels that
it would be very difficult to have a
happy marriage and a career.
Before she was signed by Columbia
she was New York's No. / show girl
and was understudy for Gypsy Rose
Lee. One day when Gypsy was i'll a
talent scout saw Adele and asked her
for contract.
When asked for beauty hints she
said: "Health-and the things which
build it. Then, too, I like very light
makeup and believe many women
use too much"

Eighteen juniors help make up
the total membership OF the club.
Occasionally a member who began
with only hobby on his mind turns
professional. Amateurs frequently
make contributions to professional
astronomy. Data now being COLI
lected from observations of variable
stars and sun spots will be sent to
the Harvard Observatory.
Aside from "home work" with
their own telescopes, the members
hear lectures by professional aston
omers, geophysicists, authorities on
rockets and the possibility of space
travel in our time. These lectures
are open to the public. Monthly
discussion groups where informa-
ton is pooled are also held. A tele-
scope class, taught by member r. M.
Mcclellan, is on the activity list.
Members will assist in four star out
ings to be conducted by the National
Capital Parks this summer.
Formal education along astro-
nomical lines Is not necessary for q
study of the stars. Indicating the
Nationwide interest In astronomy,
a national amateur astronomers
league is being formed. The leagues
first convention will be held In Phil

You may remember reading about
Mr.. David Rotbart of washington, a
businessman who made history last
summer as co-discoverer of what is
now known as the Pajdusakova-
Rotbart comet. The first half Of the
title belongs to a Czechoslovakian
lady Of the same name, who saw
the comet in her observatory at the
same time that Mr.. Rotbart spotted
it here. Since then, MIR. Rotbart
tells us, three comets have been dis
covered in the Southern Hemis-
phere. And a Mr.. Becvar, Miss
Pajdusakova's boss, discovered one
in the Northern Hemisphere about
a month ago.
Mr.. Rotbart IS also the only anna
teur astronomer in this vicinity who
has his own observatory, which he
and a friend built several years ago.
The observatory is eight sided, does
not have glass dome, but does
have a roof aperture that can be
rotated into any position. In his
observatory he has a Photographic
telescope Q20 mm) and visual
telescope $50 mm). Both are re-
tractor telescopes. Clock driven,
they are constructed so that the
rotation Of the earth does not in
terfere with their operation.

"Old 97' was mail and express

Washington and Atlanta, Ga, in
1902. On September 27, 1908. it
derailed just north of Danville, Va,

Trestle." The rebuilt locomotive
continued to render valiant service
and was not retired until July, 1885.
In the intervening years fact and
fiction became interviewer to form
a colorful chapter in railroad lore.

D1FFERENCE-SALAD DRESSING
AND MAYONNAISE.


(From Mrs. T. B., Arlington.)
This is in response to the question
raised by Mrs. P. H, Washington, re-
garding the difference between salac
dressing and mayonnaise.
There are as yet no legal Fedora.
Standards of Identity for either ol
these products. The Federal Fooc
and Drug Administration has pro.
mulgated an Advisory Standard fol
mayonnaise, but none for salao
dressing. Most mayonnaise conforms
to the Advisory Standard of Identity
which defines mayonnaise as the
lsemi-solid emulsion of edible vege-
table oil, eggs or egg yolk, and vine
gar. It may be seasoned with salt
sugar, dextroSe, and other custom
airy seasoning ingredients. Mayon-
naise contains not less than so pei
cent oil.
Salad dressing contains in addi-
tion to the ingredients of mayon-
naise filler" which is a paste OF
cereal starch or tapioca flour or ar
rowroot starch and sometimes flour
with water. Better dressing contains
80 to 35 per cent vegetable oil; how
ever, some of the low-grade salad
dressings are as low as . per cent
oil and even lower. Some salad
dressings contain vegetable gums to
assist in holding the water.
Lemon juice is sometimes used as
a seasoning ingredient in both may
onnaise and salad dressing.

MINCING PARSLEY;
HAND LOTION.

from Miss E. B., Washington.
an sending the information Mrs.
B. D. w. Of Silver Spring asked for
about mincing parsley and inexpen-
sive hand lotion.
The easiest and really the only
way to nnince parsley is to get one
OF those revolving blades attached to
a handle, and run 1t back and forth
over the parsley. You can buy one
at the dime store.
Now for the hand lotion: Buy
cents worth of gum tragacinth, put
1t in saucepan or bowl on the stove
where 1t just warns in a pint OF
water. Let stand until it looks like
thick starch. Stir it occasionally,
and don't let it get hot, just warm.
Stir 1t till there are no Jumps and
add Il pint glycerin, Il pint bay
rum, u pint rose water. Mix well
and add few drops of good per-
fume, and a little bit OF red coloring
makes 1t more attractive If it is
too thick, add a little glycerin or
bay rum or rose water, but NOT
plain water.
Put IN small screw-top jars and
1t will keep indefinitely. 1t will dry
on your hands If you don't have too
much glycerin, but that is the heal
ing ingredient. Hope you like it.

U. S. Supreme Court Has Yet to
Decide Whether Restrictive Covenants
Are Contrary to Public Policy

question involved was that arising
under the assertions that the in
denture or covenant, which is the
basis of the bill, is void in that it
is contrary to and forbidden by the
Fifth. Thirteenth and Fourteenth
Amendments.
The opinion went on to explain
that
OThe Fifth Amendment is a
limitation only upon the powers Of
the federal government and is not
directed against the action of indi-
viduals.
OThe Thirteenth Amendment,
denouncing slavery or involuntary
servitude, does not in other matters
protect the individual rights of col
ored people.
0The prohibitions Of the Four
teenth Amendment have reference
to state action only and not to any
action of private individuals.
The opinion said it was obvious
that none Of these amendments
prohibited private individuals from
entering into contracts respecting
the control and disposition Of their
individual property, and there was
no basis whatever for the conten-
ton that they rendered the cove
nant void.
The opinion also stated that the
sections Of the civil rights statutes,
giving to colored people the same
right in every state to make and
enforce contracts, and to purchase,
lease, hold, and convey real estate
as is enjoyed by white citizens, do
not in any manner prohibit or in
validate contracts entered into by
private individuals in respect to
the control and disposition of their
own property.
Concluding, the opinion stated
that 1T results that, in the absence
Of any substantial constitutional
or statutory question giving us
jurisdiction Of this appeal under
the provisions of section $50 of the
Judicial Code, we cannot determine
upon the merits the contentious
earnestly pressed by the defendants
in this court that the indenture Is
not only void because contrary to
public policy, but it is also Of such
a discriminatory character that a
court Of equity will not lend its
aid by enforcing specific perform
ance of the covenant"
When the two restrictive cove
nant cases, in which the court has
granted certiOrari, are reached for
argument next month, counsel for
petitioners will put squarely to the
court the question of whether
courts may enforce racial restrie-
tive covenants by injunction.
The courts decision will be a
measure of the good faith of the
United States in adhering to the
United Nations Charter DroVidinp
