WISE SAYINGS

Habits change into character
Our worries always come from
our weaknesses.
Stranger: a friend we haven't
met yet.
Sticky dates, raisins or figs
will come apart easily if they're
placed in a warm oven a few
minutes.

BEAUTY HINTS
THE EYEBROWS

To have struggling, unshape-
ly eyebrows gives one the ap-
pearance of being ungroomed.
Women who want to be chic.
pluck their eyebrows or pen
Gil them, in short, tailor them.
For this use a fine pointed eye
brow pencil the shade of your
hair. Sketch a line neatly to
define the brows. Raising the
line gently at the outer edge
takes away the droop of the
face making one appear young
err and more interesting, You
can't afford to neglect the
framework of your eyes.

Of the same crease may break

He is brilliant, trustworthy,
benevolent and charming. How

He is stopped by pebbles,

of this inclination he often

How Tough an Army?

It may not prove much of anything, but
there seems to be striking contrast in the
respective views Of the Army and the Ma
rine Corps In matters of discipline.
Two young Army officers at Fort Dix,
New Jersey, have just been court-nartialed
and acquitted They were thought to have
been responsible for ordering an unruly
company of recruits to stand at attention
for an hour in 92-degree temperature. Sew.
eral Of the recruits tainted, and the punish
ment meted out to them presumably was
thought to have been too severe. So the
charges were preferred against the officers.
A few months ago the Marine Corps
court-martialed Colonel Frank NJ. Schwable
In. his case, however. the shoe was on the
other foot His offense, or alleged offense,
was that he broke after weeks and months
Of torture while prisoner Of the Commu
nists In Korea.
Colonel Schwable was acquitted, but 1t
was good thing for him that he could
show something more In the nature Of tor
ture than being required to stand ut atten-
tion for an hour. Perhaps the moral IS that
the Fort Dix recruits should never be per-
mitted to fall into Communist hands as
prisoners Of war. /. s. .s

general in New York, who is alleged to
have rescued her from kidnapers, who
demanded 5000. 900 ransom: Elsie Gel
lert, who is about years old. had
been in the care of Wilhelm Jensen and
his wife for over two years at Frede-
ricia, Island Of Jutland. They loved the
child, and when last summer Gellelt,
the father Of Elsie, wanted to take
the child home again, the Jensens were
inconSolable, whereupon Gellert re-
Tented and permitted the child to re-
main one month more with her foster
parents. who said they would go to
Nestved. Island Of Seeland. Instead of
so doing, they fled to America. When
Gel1ert discovered their fight. he in
stituted proceedings against the Jen-

his wife are considered to be respectable

A review of the sixth edition Of the
Directory of Directors, issued by the
Audit Co. Of New
Outstanding York.. was featured in
Directors The Star for July %.
1904. "A statistical
study of the book" it seems, would
disclose the frequent association on the
same boards of directors of men who
represent radically divergent interests
and policies It would show the close
dependence of one corporation upon
another. It most conspicuously shows
the great burden assumed by the men
of means today who are engaged in
the management of the affairs Of the
banking, railroad and industrial COR
porations." John D. Rockefeller was
director Of only one company, the
Standard Oil. Of which he was presi

Polluted Potomac

Have you ever gone boating down the
Potomac, say as far as AnacoStia? If
so. no doubt you. too, have never for
gotten it.
The stencil that hits your nostrils
from the sewage dumped into the
river at that point almost makes you
sick at your stomach. Processed it is,
they say-and what does. that make It?
That sewage has such foul odor It
could not. possibly make healthy con-
dition for our city processed or notl
believe Webster def1nes~a sewer as
"a channel to carry of water and foul
matter from a town." That is what
this city uses its beautiful river for.
It astounds me that the Capital Of the
Nation would allow such condition to
exist. In some respects we are very
particular; we post signs to keep our
streets and parks clean. We can even
be fined for littering our highways. Yet
we take the most dangerous form of
littering there is in humanity and de-
liberately dump it in the river so that
it may completely surround us.
Thousands Of little children, as well
: as adults, many Of whom never have
the chance to go to beaches or other
places to swim. could enjoy that thrill
almost in their own back yard If our
river were clean. Not only is it not
