Frenca dressing Is especially nice to gerve on lettuce, fruit and delicate salads that are favorites in Summer time. Mayonnalse is heavy and hearty. It should be reserved for the sort of salads that are a main course at a meal, such as chicken and other meat salads, tuna fish, salmon, etc., and salads that combine meat and fish in substantial proportions.

Some of these are es- pecially good for vegetable and combi- nation salads of this varlety, while others are admirably adapted to serve with sweet salads. The piquant dressings are good to accompany chicken and veal, or to serve as a salad course after a hearty main | course coming before a sweet dessert. Sweet salads are now considered ex- cellent for dessert dishes. They may also follow a main course prior to | the dessert. | Piquant Salad. An unusual touch can be given a supper in the typical Saturday night meal of colonial times. Serve a plquant_salad with the pork and beans. Here is a good recipe: Diced cucumber, one teaspoonful to each serving; fresh tomato, two or three thin slices. One head lettuce. One teaspoonful of chopped mixed pickles or piccalilll to each serving. Put the tomatoes on the well washed lettuce leaves and on each slice put a few pieces of the diced cucumber. Dot with the plecalilll, or put the pickle in tiny dots about the tomato slices. Serve with Russian dressing or the following modified French dressing: Three tablespoonfuls olive ofl or two tablespoonfuls olive ofl and one of vegetable ofl. One tablespoontul vinegar or a scant tablespoonful of strained lemon juice. One scant level teaspoongul salt. One-quarter teaspoonful * black or white pepper. Sprinkling of paprika. One-eighth teaspoonful tard. One-quarter teaspoontul extract of onion. One teaspoonful minced parsley. One-eighth teaspoonful mince sweet basil. Mix dry Ingredients and add to the oil, blend well and add the vinegar or lemon julce, and stir vigorously until thickened somewhat. Simple Russian Style. By adding one tablespoontul of chili sauce, one teaspoonful capers, 1 tea- spoonful piquant meat sauce and a dashr of chevenne pepper to three or four tablespoonfuls mayonnaise a good Russian dressing results. By beating one-half or even one-quarter cup of sour cream and adding to an equal amount of mayonnaise a deli- cate cream dressing can be made. This will require extra salt and pep- per but no extra acid. dry mus- PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Left-Footed Folk Listen. A genuinely or naturally left-hand- od person is left footed, left sighted, and even has a more sensitive sense of touch, taste and smell on the left side of the body. Of course, these functions are all more highly devel- oped on the right side in right-handed Whether there is right and rsons. 't earedne: that is, whether left- handed persons have more acute hearing in the left ear, we'll leave for them to testify in this symposium. I eaxpect readers to contribute the more tnteresting and more important part of this series of discussions on left fiandedness—I'm just serving as sec- retary of the meeting. There is just ona thing I hope readers will remem- ber when presenting observations con- cerning on earedness; it is essential to know that more acute hearing in one ear s not the result of disease or injury of the other ear. Man has binocular vision, that is, the two eyes regard the object to- gether, but from two points of view, which gives perspective and a sense of depth or distance. If we had but one eye evervthing would appear formless and flat like a picture. But While the two eyes fuse the two tiews into a perfectly blended com- posite impression, nevertheless right- handed persons are right eyed and left-handed persons are left eyed. In- deed, some sclentific students belleve that right eyedness is the determin- ing factor of the right handedness and left evedness of left handedness, for they point out visual impressions or stimuli are the chief causes of mus- cular movements in the infant and visual education and training is the most important part of the develop- ment of the child. Eyedness, handedness, footedness, speech, writing, memory, volition and other brain functions which compose inteiligence, personalidy and charac- ter are all dominated or controlled by nerve centers in_the left side of the brain of a right-handed person or in the right side of the brain of a left- | handed person. Thus a cerebral | hemorrhage (stroke or shock of pa- | ralysis) in the left side of the brain is likely to cause paralysis of the right side of the body with mpalr- | ment of speech, writing. memory, etc., |in_a righthanded person; but such a hemorrhage or injury of the right side of the brain of a right-handed person will produce left-sided paraly- sis but no impairment of speech, writing memory or personality, be- | cause these functions are controlled | by one side of the brain. | I belleve it would be a great ad vantage in education or culture if every child were taught to write with either hand indiscriminately. Ambi- dexterity (rather nondexterlty) is uni- versal among the anthropold &pes. to be sure, but, on the other hand. ambi dextrous persons are generally tal- ented, accomplished, resourceful per- sons of outstanding personality, al- though ambldexterity of a kind Is sometimes noted in mental defectives, particularly idiot savants. The brain center for the control of speech is located in the third frontal convolution of the left cerebral hem- isphere in a right-handed individual. and closely assoclated with it are the jover the country | experiences. * SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y.

Will the papers ever cease to run columns and columns of argument about petting? Every day the fashionable lady col- umnist heads her article: ‘“Must Girls Pet?” “Some Girls Don’t Pet “How to Get Along Without Pettin; “Pet- ting Necessary, Says the Silly Flap- per.” etc., etc. Thousands of girls write in from all telling of their sad They want to be good. decent girls. They've been brought up by the right kind of mothers, and they're not going back on the princi- ples taught them from early child- hood. Still, they're out of luck. the sas: the boy: All the promiscuous pet- ters have dates every evening, while the lily-white maldens languish at home. Is there any justice? It's an absolute fact that most un- popular girls at large today think they're left out just because they won't pet. Some of these wall flowers have the courage and the common sense to ad- mit that they're qut of the picture, because they can't dance, or because their line is faltering, or because somehow they can't achleve the proper style in clothes. But those honest few are the ex- ception. All the rest of the unsought- after maidenhood rises to protest that there ought to be a blue law against petting, and then they'd have a chance to shine as they deserve to. In nige cases out of ten they're wrong. ~ For instance, Olga is a flop with the boys. She never gets a rush. never has more than one date a year, and bitterly resents the popularity of Marjorle, who turns them away by the dozens. Olga®* whispers behind a discreet hand that Marjorie pets. “Who couldn’t be popular if she were willing to pet?” asks Olga scornfully. She pays no attention to the fact that Marjorie always looks smart trom head to toe, that she drives and rides and swims as well as a man, that she dances perfectly, that her line is witty and peppy. * No, Olga t sulks and sniffs, and says that she for one refuses to pet. And if a blue law forbade petting to- morrow, Marjorie would still be a riot and Olga would be still sitting home alone evenings, sighing for a suitor. It’s perfectly true that lots of girls, in thelr desperate attempt to be popu- lar, attract men sheerly by petting. But it doesn't follow that petting is the only road to success. If a girl is brain centers for the control of move- ments of the fingers and hand and arm of the right side. Scientific ob- serversy have found that the favored hand is used for expression even be- fore the beginning of speech. The sign language probably preceded vo- cal speech in evolution, as it does in the development of the child. It is not only natural but essential for full expression, that one should ‘“speak with his hands.” Right now my right fist protests writing. ‘“To be continued in an early number.” (Copsright. 1928.) _ THORNTON BEDTIME STORIES " 72 A Nose Out of Joint. 4 mose put out of joint may be eplendid thing for you or me. ~_Johnoy Chick. Of course you know what it means to have your nose put out of joint. It means simply having vour feelings upset by finding you are less impor- tant than you thought vou were. And Johnmy 48 right in saying that it's a good thing sometimes. No one ever admits it at the time, usually will later. Johnny Chuck had made up his mind that he wouldn’nt stay another minute longer than he had to in the ©ld Pasture. Never in all his life had he been more frightened than when “OH, IT'S YOU!” SAID POLLY CHUCK AS SHE POKED HER HEAD OUT OF THE DOORWAY. Buster Bear tried to dig him out. He just couldn't get over it. So he told Old Jed Thumper, the gray old rabbit who lived in the Old Pasture, that that was no place for him, and he meant to start back for the Green Meadows that very afternoon. “‘Everybody to his own taste,” 014 Jed Thumper. “Everybody to his own taste. The Old Pasture is the finest place in all the Great World, and perhaps if you live long enough you will find it out.” “Huh!” sald Johnny Chuck. ‘“Huh! You're welcome to think so. Buster Bear doesn’t come down on the Green Meadows, and I can get along very nicely without Buster Bear for a neighbor. . ‘He isn’'t a neighbor here,” protest- ‘ed Old Jed Thumper. “It is only once in & while that he comes here.” “Well, once in a while is once too often for me,” declared Johnny Chuck. “So I'm off this very minute. Good- ‘Good-by,” sald Old Jed Thumper. “Come and see me once.in a while."” Johnny Chuck said nothing, but in his own mind he decided that never again would-he visit the Old Pasture ifghe tould help himself. So he hur. #i8d down the old cow path unti] a} last he came to the edge of the Green Meadows. It was a long way. across the Green Meadows up to the Old Orchard, but Johnny Chuck didn't hesitate. He kept going and going and going. Somehow, although he was right out in the open there on the Green Meadows, he was no longer afraid. He knew he was too big and strong for any one he was likely to meet. He knew that none of the Hawk family were likely to try to catch such an old tough fellow as he. So he kept ori'an on au on toward the Old_Orchard. All the way across the Greeh Mead- ows Johnny kept thinking how glad Polly Chuck' would be to see him. “She probably thinks that by this time I'm dead,” thought Johnoy. “How surprised and delighted she'll be when I come walking in, and what & lot I'll have to tell her.” At last Johnny Chuck reached his old home. He was tired. He was tired and he was out of breath, for he had hurried the last part of the way. No one was in sight. He had half hoped that Polly Chuch would be sit- ting on the doorstep. He poked his head in at the doorway and listened. Polly was at home. He could hear her somewhere down below. He started to g0 down. Almost at once he heard Polly. coming up. So he backed out and waited just outside. “Oh, 1t's you,” said Polly Chuck, as she poked her head out of the door- vi “Well, keep. away from here now. Johnny Chuck gasped with surpri: “Aren’t—aren’t you glad to see me?" attractive and clever enough to keep a man interested, she doesn't have to hang signs around her neck saying: “I pet.” And what's more, she doesn’t have to pet. Look at the terribly popular girls you know. Isn't there something distinctive and attractive about every one of them that has nothing to do with petting? Then tell yourself the truth. You're not unpopular because you're a decent, self-respecting girl. That's all the bunk. If you're unpopular, you're unattractive in some way. (Copyright. 1026.)

They then change and, although not adverse, fail to create that stimula- tion which will be sensed during the early part of the day. The indications point to assured success along all lines of constructive effort and, if you contemplate the launching of any new enterprise or the carrying out of any radical change, it would be advisaale to put your plans into execution dur- ing the early hours of the day. Such efforts will not necessarily lose any of their momentum in the afternoon, but there will not be sensed at th: time the courage, initlative and confl. dence that will be feit during the morning. Children born tomorrow are des- tined, accerding to the signs, to have more than theéir fair share of sick- ness during infancy. Unremitting care and well regulated nutrition will enable them to pass through these transitory vigissitudes and put them firmly on the road that leads to physi- cal normalcy. They will, as children. be rather peevish and trying. As their health improves, however, this condition will be replaced by one of content and moderate happiness. They will be assiduous in their studies and always more anxious to learn than to play. They will not show any strong desire to make friends and, even in later life, will not be very con- genial or companionable. If tomorrow is your birthday your chronic state of mind is not conducive to success, as you are always “imag- he asked “Not right now,” replied Polly Chuck, “You run away and keep away.” With this, Polly disappeared inside the house again.

Oro x Has Failed We Have Few Real Fathers and Mothers These Days—Too Many Parents Pass Their Work Over to Church and School and Club. I’r is apparent to every one that parenthood isn't functioning as it should. ‘The younger generation has scrapped the biblical injunction to ‘“Honor thy faiher and thy mother,” along with hoopskirts and stocks and peg-top trousers and other obsolete fashions. If there was an infant left that obeyed its parents, it would be in a glass case in a museum with the relics of prehistoric man, and we would be paying out good money to behold the quaint freal It is the children now who rule the home, and of whom the parents stand in awe and fear.

And so every one is asking: “What's the matter with parents?” T thinlgthat the first thing that is the matter with parents is that there isn’'t enough parenthood. £ ‘We have plenty of people who beget children and bear them, but we have precious féw real fathers and mothers, and nobody vet has invented any satisfactory synthetic substitute for real personal love and tenderness in dealing with children. You cén’t properly rear children with your left hand and one lobe of your brain while you are devoting your right hand and all of your real intelligence to playing bridge or golf, or having a career, or making money, and that is what only too many parents are doing today. Why, haif of the modern children have only the (r:ctl.on.ol'l mother. MOTHER hustles them off to school in the morning, and when they come home she is out gadding the streets, or at a party, and so they also take to the streets, where, at the most formative time of their lives, they learn the manners and the morals of the street. Father means nothing bt a cash register in their young lives. Home is only a place you go to when you can't go anywhere else, and the bedtime talks are done by radio, not by a mother who bends above a pillow, and to whom a little heart opens itself out in the dark, and tells its shy little hopes and dreams and aspirations. How can the mother who has never made herself necessary to her children. who has never made her arms a refuge for them in times of children next door form their ideals instead of doing it herself, expect to have any hold over them when they are grown? ~ How can a man whose children are not even acquainted with him, who ave never had a real, familiar talk with him in their lives, expect them to look to him for guidance when they get to the place where they need it most? Why, he is the strangest man in all the world to them—the one with whom they have least in common. And they could sooner tell their troubles to the policeman on the beat than to him. Ia it the children’s fault that they feel this way toward their fathers and mothers? Not a bit of it. It is the parents’ fault. They had their chance to bind their children to them with hoops of steel when they were little. They had their opportunity to win their children's confidences when they were bables, and they were too busy with their own affairs, too much occupied :;‘lth Ilh:lr otwn amusements, too selfish to take the trouble to do so. And ey lost out. There are too many mothers who park their bables out with anyBody they can get to mind them while they jazz. Too many fathers playing golf on Saturday afternoons, instead of taking the boys on a hike or going fishing with them. Too many parents who are quitters, who are trying to pass the buck and make the church and the school and the Boy Scouts and the Campfire Girls do their ‘work of rearing their children, instead of doing it themselves. ‘That is one of the things that are the matter with parents. short on real parenthood. bt oL e ANOTHER thing that is the matter with parents is that they haven't any backbone. § 'hey haven't the nerve to refuse their children anything. even when they know it is going to be their ruination.
