Fofger Using Name
OF Policeman Jailed

Robert J. Paul, 40, who has ad-
mitted forging a $71 check in the
name of Dewey L. Guest, recently
retired chief of the Police Depart
ment's Check and Fraud Squad, to-
day was jailed for $50 days fol
petty larceny.
Paul made the forgery admission
before United States Commissioner
Cyril s. Lawrence, who yesterday
held the man for District Court
action under $500 bond.
Shortly after the commissioners
arraignment, Paul was taken before
Judge Thomas D. Quinn in Num-
cipal Court, where he pleaded guilty
to stealing clothes from a parked
car on the Ellipse. He also ad-
mitted breaking ventilator to enter
the car, owned by a Florida man,
and was sentenced to pay a $25
fine or serve 10 additional days.
He has record of prior convic-
tions, Park Police told the court.
Paul was linked to the forgery
when, as a result of his arrest by
park authorities, he appeared in d
police lineup and was picked out
by Acting 1t. Dave Higgins on the
forgery complaint of his former
chief, who retired in August.
The check was forged and ut
tered last May, just after Paul was
discharged as a laborer on home
building project operated by Mr.
Guest.

and my belief is founded on many
years OF experience with teachers and
pupils in public schools, that 1t is the
duty Of the teacher, strengthened

that there will be few complaints

Blackheads cause many women
embarrassment and distress. Care
less cleansing, Of skin that is either
excessively oily or dry can lead to
this trouble. Blackheads are not
only ugly to behold but they will
lead to pimples If they are neglected.
During adolescent years the little
oil glands In the skin are more active
and, therefore, young people this
age are apt to be especially annoyed
by new crops of blackheads. Older
women whose skin is naturally oily
may have the same hazard.
Besides local treatment the highly
seasoned, rich foods should be cut
out Of the diet. Fats especially
should be avoided. This means a
low intake of fat meat, gravy, salad
dressings, nuts, cream, fried foods,
butter and oleo and rich desserts.
We often see young people with a
face full of blackheadS consuming
one ice cream soda after another.
While blackheads are the more
usual companions Of the oily skin,
yet extremely dry skin is sometimes
afflicted in this way. The dry skin
has too little oil coming out of the
pores and thus the surface skin is
not fabricated and the dirt becomes
embedded in the pores. making it
difficult to remove them by clean
ing.
I have often given the treatment
for blackheads and the oily skin!
Today, I will give you directions for
banishing blackheads from the dry
skin. First, steam the face by hold
ing 1t over a bowl of hot water or
with hot towels. Steaming should
not be used often, but only as tenn
porary treatment, since it might lead
to enlarged and relaxed pores if in
dulged in as a habit. After the
pores are open apply warm olive oil
to the area of the blackheads. Let
it remain on for about five minutes.
Remove the oil with rough towel.
Now use your complexion brush with
soap and water, in rotary motion,
or you can use the brush and beauty

An outstanding designer of Amer
lean modern dinnerware introduced
not long ago the mix-match table
settings. For the past 10 years he
has been making table talk and
tables talkl This ensemble consists
of tablecloth, napkins and glass
ware to complement the dinnerware.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1948-09-22

This designer has based the coor-
dination on his familiar textured
dinnerware colors, chartreuse, coral.
gray and green. You can shuttle the
textured colors and your own par
ticular mix-match will blend beauti-
fully.
The basic ingredient Is the din
nerware. With this, select smooth
as-satin, cotton-rayon blend table,
cloth In any one Of the three de-
signs, brush stroke, plaid, pencil line
abstract. For a note Of accent have
napkins of solid gray or yellow. For
the finishing touch use sparkling,
hand-blown glasses. They come IN
the four basic colors and taper to
heavy sham bottoms to lessen the
danger of spilling. An ensemble OF
this description will enable the new
bride to start housekeeping with a
feeling of confidence about her din
ner table.
The smokers robot, recipient of
one of the awards of the National
Safety Contest of 1913, is now in
stock at a local store. This will
bring relief to those persons who
insist on smoking In bed, for they
can relax and allow the robot to
assume full responsibility for the
care of the ash and sparks. The
robot is not much larger in size
than q voman's palm, but it is SO
designed that if the user should
become absorbed In reading or fall
off to sleep, the ash and sparks
would automatically be gathered into
the tray, but the robot and the butt
remain securely held in the clutch
until it is expelled into the tray
by a touch of the spring ejector.
This device should also be conven-
lent for hospitalized or confined per-
sons who are allowed to smoke, for
they can enjoy the comfort with
reasonable safety.
They say, any knife is only Is

wheel which gives smoother fin

mum guide plates are SO designed
that the water constantly f1ushes
the loose abrasive grains away from

For the lady who made a play

who had the same experience put
the garment in water with pop

didn't harm it. But the color from
the binding which was not fast was
bleached out and the garment was
wearable. I hope this succeeds for
her.

out. In April, water once week,
in June or after frost is gone take
plant and dig hole in shady place
partial SUM, set plant in pot in

a bit pinch off tops. Bring back in
house in September to get used to
inside before heat is turned on and
feed about once a month. Should
bloom again at Christmas.
