CARE FOR HEAT
PROSTRATION
Be Moderate i'm the Amount
of Exercise You Take in
Hot Weather
TREATMENT GIVEN

With the coming of good wealth
er, says the Delaware Safety Coun-
ell, the average person is tempted
to get out into the open air and to
indulge in more strenuous activi-
ties than he has undertaken in the
winter season.
There are gardens to be dug,
lawns to be moved, hikes to be
taken, golf and tennis to be played,
and host of other activities.
All these activities should be un-
dertaken in moderation, especially
until your muscles have a chance
to tougher in order to meet the
new demands which are made on
them.
In particularly hot weather, care
should be taken to make sure that
heavy exercise, or work, does not
lead to heat prostration. Be mod
crate in the amout of exercise you
take. Avoid fatigue, and get plen-
ty of sleep.
The Safety Council asks you to
learn how to treat cases of heat
exhaustion. AS the patient be-
comes more ill, he has one or more
of these symptoms. pale face,
moist, cold skin, a weak pulse, a
subnormal temperature and pro-
fuse sweating.
Victims of heat exhaustion
should be treated for shock. Place
them on their back. Cover with
blankets, hot water bottles, etc.
Frequent sips of a salt solution
should be given. Rub the surface
of the body to restore circulation
and give aromatic spirits of am
monia or hot tea or hot coffee.

Post

A letter asks: What about
cotton dresses? May they be worn
in place of silk on any occasion?
Cotton is worn so much these days
but I am wondering whether it
ever has the 'dressy' status OF
silk?"
The answer to this depends
upon the quality of the cotton and
still more, upon the fashioning
of the dress. One which is OF
fine material and with beautiful
needlework can be very important
indeed.
Reply to Congratulations
Dear Mrs. Post: What acknowl-
edgment need be made of the

pected unless present Tor at least

you try to remember and thank

Entertaining in Washington has
taken on a less formal aspect
since the hot weather set in. In
fact there has been a consider
able drop in that form OF social
activity. But there are always
enough parties going on in the
Nations Capital to pep up the
scene while a large portion of the
population is away on vacation.
Yesterday found fifty or sixty
members of the younger diplo-
matte circle enjoying cocktails at
the Salvadorean Embassy where
the Ambassador and Sonora de
Castro were entertaining for their
son, Benjamin, and his flancee,
Senorita Maria Teresa Barraza.
In fact it was an engagement
party.
Senorita Barraza is the daugh-
ter of DR.. Santiago Barraza and
Sonora de Barraza of Panama
City. Her father was Minister of
Public Health, then served in the
Diplomatic Corps as Minister to
London, and since then has re-
turned to the practice of medicine.
Studying for Degrees
The young groom-to-be, who is
the youngest of four brothers,
will be graduated in February
from Georgetown University Law
School. Then he and his flancee,
who has been taking special
, courses at the University of Mary
land, working toward her degree,
will be married.
Senor Castro and his brothers
each has chosen a different pro-
fession. His eldest brother, David,
is an engineer who Is married and
with his family living in Ell. Saliva
dor. The next eldest is Alex, a
surgeon, who is married to an
American girl, the former Franchon
Aldrich, and lives in Bethesda.
And a third brother, Hector, is
q young dentist here.

In Elegant, Restored Georgetown House
by Betty BeoIe

pieces of furniture in it are grog
table originally owned and used
by George Washington and an
exquisite hall piece and mirror
that belonged to King George !
when he was Prince of Wales.
There were some who thought
evil spirits inhabited the George
town dwelling, perhaps because of
the slave traffic that Capt. Savage
INDUCED in. So Louise asked the
Rev. William Sharp. rector of ST.
Johns Church in Georgetown, to
bless her new home. Since then,
she says, it seems as though a
clean breath of wind had swept

l went through one OF the SHOW
places of Washington yesterday
and I really covered it, from
peeking into its dark subbasement
to climbing the spotless white wob-
bly, ladder that leads to the glass
enclosed lookout on it's top.
From here I could look over
rooftops, beyond Memorial Bridge
and down the Potomac River into
the beyond. It was here that
Capt. Savage used to search for
the sailing ships that were bring
ing his cargo into the thriving
port of Georgetown.
That was IN the early 180O's.
Capt. Savage built the flve-story
mansion for Miss Eden. his bride,
in 1920. Constructed entirely with
slave labor. it's cornices and
mouldings are handcarved, it's
original beams held together by
wooden pegs and it's exquisite
floors are inlaid with perfection
and polished by age.
Just restored by its new owner,
Louise Heiberg, the big. ivory COL
ored, severely elegant, corner
dwelling at Thirty-third and o
streets will be the scene of party
August 13. The invitations are not
yet out but on that day Louise and
ALT H. will entertain for Louise's
ex-nephew and his wife, Mr.. and
Mrs. Douglas Macarthur II, who
are also Vice President Barkley's
son-in-law and daughter.
The cocktail affair will be a
double -barrelled" occasion -
welcome home party for Wahwee
and Doug who are now settled in
their own abode here after years
of diplomatic duty abroad, and q
housewarming that will treat cap
ital society to the finest example
Of Federal architecture in the city.
This is a period that's more
Faustere than Colonial and dates
from about 1900 to the victorian
era.
Because of it's architectural style
and because Louise has fondness
for the name that labeled her
former home near the Capitol, she
brought the name, Federal House,
with her.
The National Geographic Maya
zine recently took pictures of it's
fine looking facade and of the
great boulders on which the sub
basement is built. They are 8
feet thick and believed to have
been hauled up from the Potomac
River. Holiday Magazine has
asked to take pictures of Federal
House and the OAR wants to
put plaque on it because of its
historical interest.
The adjoining house, now oc-
cupied by the Robert G. Hooker
jr.'s of the State Department, was
once part of this residence then
known as Eden House. It bears q
continuation of the same dental
cornice both front and rear. In
Capt. Savage's day, drums, routs
and receptions" were given there.
| And in the Heibergs' garden
stands the elm tree that Capital
tree men reckon to be ITO years
old and the biggest tree in Wash
ington. 1t shades the garden it
grows in, the Hookers' equally
large garden next door and Mrs.
Henry Fathers garden which is
beyond the Hookers'.
The interior Federal House is a
lovely thing with its floors too
beautiful to cover with rugs, with
its IA feet high windows, its
Waterford chandeliers, its Adams
mantels with Italian marble
hearths, its mirrored wall brack-
cts with crystal candelabra from
Powys Court, Ireland, its beauti-
full mirrors and Chinese objets
dart.
