BY MARY MARSHALL., PARIS, The all-white costume is most be- coming to fair-skinned English 'girls. Among the Wellto-do in London, as YOUNGSTERS BLOOM LIKE FLOWER GARDENS. BRIGHTLY FLOWERED CRETONNE COAT WITH HAT TO MATCH 1S POPU- LAR WITH LITTLE GIRLS. among all classes in and about Paris, two or more little girls of the same family are usually dressed all alike. All white for outdoor wear is espe- clally smart at the moment for chil- dren. And this is supremely becom- ing to the fair-skinned English chil- dren whose skin s often of a white- ness almost never seen among Amer- icans—much less among the French. There is a thoroughly healthy tone to this skin which is white about the arms and the throat—but mottled with lovely rose tones on the cheeks. Stockings and low strapped shoes are pure white. There is a pure white straw hat banded with a white rib- bon. The little costume even in Summer is often of wool—a short pleated wool skirt with a knitted wool jumper. . Three very well dressed little girls were out with their governess in one of the fashionable London parks on & warm Summer day recently. Each little girl wore a light blue frock of china silk with a charming little hat g& matching organdle with a fluted m, Coat and hat costumes of printed cotton are smartly worn by little French girls.

S. A. BY JONATH” A. RAWSON, JR. Yankee Cavalry Goes Home. NEW YORK, July 20, 17 discipline is apparently a ne some of our soldiers of freedom. Free- dom to do as they please is one of the forms of liberty for which some of them think they are flying to arms. An unfortunate case of this kind has been giving Gen. Washington one more_ difficulty to add to his already long list. A body of leading Connecticut men formed a cavalry troop, which they called the Connecticut Light Horse. They rode into town and offered their services to the general, who was obliged to tell them that, while they themselves were heartily welcome, no forage could be provided for their horses because none could be obtained. ‘They then offered to provide feed for their horses and arranged to have the horses pastured near King's Bridge at 60 cents a week for each horse. They were then accepted as a divi- sion of the Continental Army, but when ordered to do fatigue duty they refused, saying that they were cavalrymen and should not be re- quired to do regular camp work or even to mount guard. they were discharged and they have now gone home and will submit a report of their grievances to Gov. S Thereupon Jonathan Trumbull of their State. A few cavalry troops would be a most useful addition to the Army. Gen. Washington discharged the Con- necticut troopers with much regret, but he says that he could not do otherwise, since he.does not know how to use soldiers who are not willing to take orders. A useful place might have been found for the Light Horse in patrol duty along Hudson's River, where there is a long stretch of territory now threatened by the invading red- coats, and where forage is plentiful. Or cavalrymen could renger impor- tant service on Long Island or in the Jerseys, where Tories are plentiful and all too busy, where the horses need not starve and where the British- ers may betake themselves any day. But the general had no further use for these proud Yankees :when they rebelled against fatigue and guard duty and so they are gone. r Gen. Howe’'s chief trouble nowa- days is to address his letters properly. When his letter to “George Washing- ton, Eeq.,” failed of delivery because not addressed to “‘Gen. George Wash- ington,” he sent another to “George ‘Washington, Esq., &c., &c., &c.” This one also has been returned to sender for a better agdress. (Copyright. 1026.) PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. How Doctors and Nurses Keep Well ‘What is the secret which enables doctors and nurses, Intimately ex- posed to disease every day, to es- cape as a general rule? The answer to this question. which people still ask, 18 that doctors and nurses do not escape infection, except by certain specific diseases against which we have available the means of immunization. In Durand Hospital, John McCor- mick Institute for Infectious Dis- eases, Chicago, the nurses formerly had a diphtheria rate of 13 per cent. That may seem large, but it it really a low rate as compared with the ex- perience of other large hospitals for infectious diseases. But high or low, it was too much, and the physicians of the hospital decided to improve the record. Schick tests were made on 808 persons, mainly nurses and medical students, and 563 had positive re- actions, 245 negative. The positive reaction reans that the individual is without immunity. The negative re- action means ‘that he has sufficient immunity to protect him against the danger of diphtheria. In these tests the usual preponder- ance of immunity among urban dwell-! ers, or the usual preponderance of susceptibility among rural residents was manifest. Thus, among the per- sons residing in rural places 79 per cent showed positive reactions; among the persons residing in the city only 50 per cent showed positive reactions. Children in the country are always more susceptible to diph- theria than children even in the most crowded and “unsanitary” parts of the city; the reason for this is prob- ably that the city children acquire a certain degree of natural immunity from more frequent exposure to slight infection. They have more chances of contact with diphtheria of an undiagnosed or perhaps irregu- lar type. This proponderance of suscepti~ bility to diphtheria among country children, or greater prevalénce of immunity among city children, is good evidence to support the belief that immunization against diph- theria, by the toxin-antitoxin treat- ment, protects the person for many years, even though the immunity or protection thus conferred may gradu- ally wear off or diminish. These nurses and medical students had not been so treated, but some of them had acquired their natural immunity in childhood, in the way just ex- plained. In all, 263 persons were given the toxin-antitoxin treatment. Of these, 156 were given the Schick test again from three to six months afterward, to determine whether the treatment had rendered them sufficiently im- mune. Of the 1566, 144 had become Schick negative, and 12 remained Schick positive—that is, 12 had not gained sufficient immunity from the treatment to insure them against possible infection from diphtheria. These data have a significance which it may be well to emphasize. No doubt the 12 persons who re- mained negative to the Schick test— that Is, still susceptible to diphtheria in spite of the immunization—did gain some protection from it, but not sufficlent. Immunity against diph- theria, or any other disease for that matter, is ‘only a relative thing and not absolute. Although I am vac- cinated, T am only relatively immune to smallpox, I might still contract the disease if 1 were subjected to some extraordinagy, overwhelming exposure. & Since this Schick testing and toxin-antitoxin treatment for all Schick negative persons was adopted at Durand Hospital, the diphtheria rate among the nurses has dropped to 0.53 per cent.

CHICAGO, T I am a clerk earning an average salary, employed by & prosperous firm in a large city. A situation recently arose in its business about which I questioned the honesty and truthfulness of a certain transaction in which my em- ployers were involved. I was quickly tald that my ideas were too strait-laced, and that I could not succeed in business today unless I played the game with & little more skill. ‘What do you think about my re- maining in a firm which stoops to deceit and lies? Answer—The facts being as you state, it is not a time for thinking but for action. Provided you had - substantial grounds for your opinion and reflec- tion confirms it, sever your connec- tion with that firm tomorrow, tell your employers your reasons for doing so, and find work in which you can own your own soul. The employer who wants an em- ploye to be dishonest and untruthful today is likely to deal dishonestly and falsely with his employes tomor- row. The employe who connives at this kind of thing forfeits his self-respect and injures his fitness to serve honest firms which have bullt their success upon the practice of the square deal. The old adage, “He who sups with the devil has need of a long spoon, applies in your case. WASHINGTON, D. C. How does the beatitude ‘‘Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth,” correspond with the grasping greed of much modern in- ternational policy? Answer—Mark Twain once humor- ously suggested that this beatitude explained the rapid expansion of the British Empire. Speaking_seriously, the term “meek” is not adequate to the meaning of the original Greek word, which is better translated as the gracious, gentle people who radi- ate true charm and who face the losses of life without censure or cynicism. They are known by tHeir kindness, courtesy, conslderation, and their freedom from passion or judice. m;jhus understood, meekness is not an anemic virtue. True, it is marked by self-control, but also by intense devotion to life's highest |n'lerestuA The meek inherit the earth’s best peace and lasting contentment, and render cheerful service. In contrast, where are the nomadic tribes. which would rather fight than eat, the nations that delighted in war, the'proud rulers and barons full of the lust of blood?

QUESTIONS PARKES CADMAN China, despite her frequent civil wars, has been for centuries interna- tionally pacific’ And China owns half Asia and spills over all around one side of the Pacific Ocean, India, buried in her mystical meditations, saw many conquering legions thun- der past. Yet she endures, and they have disappeared in the fury of their own blasts of battle. Justice, fair dealing, humility, the absence of undue self-assertion, and the wise avoldance of needless cofi- fiict would have saved the lives and possessions of many nations whose descendants are poor and circum- scribed. Does any one suppose France would have sacrificed 8,000,000 men to the ambitions of Napoleon the Great if she could have seen the end from the beginning? \ This beatitude flatly contradicts some pet policies of princes and their ministers. Yet in the light of the past its truth is vindicated. * ‘HARRISBURG, Pa. I am a lover of the Bible, espe- cially of the words of Christ. But I am puzzled by what He means in such words as these: (a) “Every one shall be salted with fire b) “Salt is good, but if the salt have lost its savor wheréwith shall it be salted?” (c) “Have salt in yourselv: be at peace one with another.” Answer—St. Mark groups together in the ninth chapter of his Gospel and the forty-ninth and fiftieth ver- ses these three distinctive sayings of our Lord. They were probably spoken on different occasions, and are com- bined here because of their common use of the metaphor of salt. The first saying alludes to the Jewish practice of sprinkling salt on certain sacrifices in order to purify them. . The second saying shows that the Christian who has lost the essentials of his faith is comparable to savor- less salt. The third saying reminds us that Jesus, like the Jews, sometimes spoke of the divine laws that govern hu- manylife as salt. Their precepts im- planted in obedient hearts diffuse and preserve peace. The three sayings form a climax to Christ's searching teachings upon the discipline, the high .ideals and the benefits of genuine Christianity as the sanitating force of the church, and through her of society at large. ; and Corn Oysters. ‘Take some young sweet corn, cut it from the cob ‘into a dish, and to each pint of corn add one well beaten egg, a small cupful of flour, one-half 1l of sweet cream and one-half a teaspoonful of salt.

(Answers to these questionsin tomorrow’s Star.) 3 The Messenger Metal. Mercury or quicksilver is such a lively liquid that it is hard to realize that it is just as much a metal as iron or copper. With difficulty it can be frozen to a solid state; the fact that it boils at such a high temperature and, unlike. most other substances, expand evenly when heated, makes it more useful in thermometers than any other substance. Unlike other liquids, it does not wet any object it touches; you can put your finger in it and take it out completely dry. Unlike other liquids, too, it is so dense and has such high surface tension that many objects that would sink in water would float on mercury. But if a swimmer. once dived beneath a sea of mercury he would have trou- ble in breaking through the surface to the top. Calomel is a non-poisonous form of mercury; but if you take vinegar with calomel you will turn it into corrosive sublimate, a deadly poison. ¥ Now what do you know about that?

HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON: . “At Sixes and Sevens.” “She’s ali at sixes and sevens,” peo- ple say, when the wish to describe a state of confusion, of disorder, of en- tanglements and mix-ups. The phrase is an apt one and ‘is commonly used in everyday speech. Though smack- ing of slang,-it has an old, time-hon- ored literary history! “At sixes and sevens” can be traced all the way back to Chaucer, the four- teenth century English poet who is sometimes called the father of English literature. It is in his famous poem of “Troilus and Cresseide,” in book iv, line 623, that we find the first re- corded use of our now popular phrase in the form of “Set all on six and seven.” * That the phrase was accepted in very early days as a popular and com- monly used saying. is proven by its id- clusion in Heywood's “Proverbes,’ the first collection of English collo- quial sayings, published in 1546. There it appears as “Set all at sixe and seven.” Shakespeare, too, put the stamp of approval on the phrase, when in the second scene of act two in Richard 11 he used in almost our modern form, “At six and seven.” (Copyright, 1926.) “ . ” p uzz’ wk S -Limericks.

Al’ Another Day Coming. 1t is all right to live as though each day were the last, but I imagine that those who do so are in fear of being called to judgment. Living under fear and dread cannot be good for anybody, even those tuned so spiritually high that they are dally prepared to enter eternity. A mood like that would soon render mothers unfit for work if they maintained it for even a day with regard to their children. Yet some of them do, and go to the hos- pital for rest and recuperation. Better train children in the hope of another day. They are going to live a long time, and you will, too, if you are careful to husband your strength. When the child does something ap- palling like using his Sunday school money for sodas, helping himself to money from your purse, using . lan- guage with freedom and abandon, playing truant, answering his mother | make impudently, hold on to yourself. There is another day. You don't have to make a finished job of the child for a lifetime yet. God is going to let him have his full time to grow. Bet- ter not try to hurry.

All thought of nduflu should be put out of her mind un her stomach and health are in good condition. If her digestion does not comse around in very short order on the convalescent diet it may be neecsmary for her to consult a doctor. Instead of helping her health by getting rid of the excess welght, she has hurt her- self by attempting to reduce without any idea of what she was doing. Her one idea was to get rid of the sur- plus welght. B8he did not stop te think that her body had to have no ishment. in the meantime. Starvation diet under the care of a physician, who would perhaps have put her on milk or fruit juice, would have been different from her own starvation plan of frankfurters. Such a rapid loss of weight as Mrs. M. H. experlenced is very harmful, In addition to all the other errors of this unknowing and harmful schedule followed by Mrs. M. H., the fran) furters added the sin of not furnish- ing any residue. There was no waste to be eliminated and constipation fol- lowed. To remedy this condition poor Mrs. M. H. plied herself with purga- tives. Under the circumstances an enema would have beer better. Pury gatives paralyze the muscles of the bowles and they cease to function without artificial aid. Any one who is excessively over: weight s likely to become a victim of serious disease. But it is harmful to start reducing by going on a one-food plan. Nor should anybody lose exces- sive weight quickly. Sure, slow and safe reduction is the method. Nourishing but non-fatten- ing food is the way. By Angelo Pat‘ri himself in one lesson. In the first place he is an unfinished body. Until his bodily growth is complete he can- not hope to have a. matured character. Even long after his growth is full he will be at work on the structure of his spirit, his true self. All the other selves that pass before our eyes are but tentative. Each of them merges into the next and feeds it. We put what touch we may for the day we serve and trust to the next day for the furtherance of our hopes. Hopefulness and the forward look are what we need for daily use while we teach the children. It is very discouraging to have the child display one imperfect phase after another, or, as it sometimes happens, all at once and all together, but try to remember that you, too, had to grow up and remember your own struggles. Many things you did in your growing time that you would hate to have to tell the children about. Yet you got through and are doing your share to the world better for the children. “I've done my best to teach the children to be honest with me, to tell me frankly what they think and what they have done. Now I'find that the two of them have deceived me to my face. Actually helped one another to deceive me. They wanted to go to the moving pictures every week and T would not allow it. The .piec- tures they could see were not good for them and I took them once a month to the better ones. Now this is what they do. I am completely discouraged.

One wrong action does not settle them into depravity. Nor even a series, of them. Look for the next day with hope and courage and the childtén will arrive all in good time.
