Many people have the mistaken no- tion that the resistance of headphones 1s a measure of their quality. Actually, radio headphones of 2,500 ohms re. sistance may be much better than others of 5,000 ohms resistance. The resistance is determined by the length, size and kind of wire used in their construction..

Shake well in a bottle, and you have a whole quarter-pint of the most wonderful skin whitener, soft- ener and beautifier. Massage this sweetly fragrant lemon bleach into the face, neck, arms and hands. It can not irritate. Famous stage beauties use it to bring that clear, youthful skin and rosy- white complexion; also as a freckle, sunburn and tan bleach. You must mix this remarkable lotion yourself. It can not be bought ready to use because it acts best immediately after it is prepared, matter of proper engineering design and the use of good materials.

AMSTERDAM, July 29.— Kitchen duty for husbands is under discussion at the conventlon here of the Interna- tion Federation of University Women. The man who helps his wife with the dishes and the need by American men for “kitchen culture,” are among the subjects on which Mrs. Lillian M. Gjlbreth of Montclair, N. J., wil speak. She is the mother of 11 chil- dren and also president of a cor- | poration of {ndustrial engineers. | Her opinions are taking the breath |away from many of the European delegates, who are not accustomed to | expecting ~domesticity among their men folk. ’ nd a profession. She feels that until Christmas gifts now. husbands are able and willing to give a hand in the kitchen and nursery as skillfully as thelr American.wives are able to participate today in bus ness, a 50-50 combination of home and career 1s impossible for women. The younger generation of Amer ican college men is recognizing this fact, Mrs. Gilbreth says, and is tak- ing steps to offset the difficulty. Many male students at Pennsylvania State College, Cornell and Purdue are eagerly studying cookery, with the Idea of making themselves as versatile as the university wives they expect to acquire, according to Mrs. Gilbreth, G. 0.
