WOMAN’S PAGE. Breakage of China and Glassware BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. A great deal of breakage of china, glassware and crockery can be avoid- ed by knowing how to wash and wipe the articles, how to put the things away and certain matters. in connec- tion with thelr care. Stemware frequently is snapped apart by holding it too firmly or by twisting the towel about it too Vig: orously when it is being dried. The ware, especially when it is glassware, should be handled with a flexibility that prevents any strain coming on the stem, When polishing zlass, there is a tendency to hold the base firmly end whisk the towel about the other IT IS DURING THE WASHING AND DRYING OF DISHES THAT MUCH OF THE BREAKING OCCURS. end with a definite pressure. Unless the towel is allowed to slip easily around the glass, the top will snap off, without there seeming to be a reason for it. But, of course, there is, for in redlity the top is actuafly being wrenched from the stem, which cannot resist the contradictory strain that focuses on it. When Dishes Are Stacked. Piling dithes one inside the other when they fit together tightly often proves ditastrous. For instance, finger bowls, whether of glass or crockery, should have pits of paper between them at some spot where they touch, so that when they swell with heat or contract with cold there is sufficient play of air between them., Then they do not stick together, When a vacuum is formed by two articles adhering, it is not an easy or a safe matter' to part them. Many cases of breakage occur from this cause. By heating the outside ware as quickly as it is safe to do, it may expand before the inside one does, and then the two articles can pe separated readily. When a glass bottle has a glass stopper that refuses to come out, wrap a cloth wrung from hot water about the neck of the bottle. This generally will release the stop- per, because the neck swells, while the stopper does not do so immedi- ately. Various Hints. Fine plates or glass dishes that are stacked _together closet shelves should have tissue paper between them. Avoid putting very hot dishes away in a very cold pantry, and never let cold dishes come in immediate con- tact with extreme heat. Many dishes are broken because they are put in the oven to warm when they are very cold. The heat expands them too rap- idly or too unevenly for the adhesion of the atoms to remain undisturbed. Then the ware cracks. When Scraping Dishes. Do not scrape dishes with a pointed knife. If the decoration is not under aze, it is quite likely to be hurt. ratched and common crock- utensils may have the glaze pierced. A spatula is just the thing to ape dishes, pots and pans with, It y pliable and will bend to suit shapes of bowls. \ THE DAILY HOROSCOPE ‘Wednesday, March 9. Astrologers read tomorrow as an exceedingly threatening day, in which s well to conduct all important s with the utmost care. Mars is read as in a most threatening aspect, which makes for grave uncertainties regarding the future. The Pacific Coast, which is subject to a rule indicating much activity in trade and commerce, will focus na- tional interest, it is foretold. Under this sway of the stars, the counsel of older persons and conser- vative political leaders may not be heeded, astrologers warn, and for that reason there should be no sudden opinions formed or policies advocated. Interest in all the arts is to in- crease in America, which has the fore- cast of immense achievement in drama and music. ‘The Summer is to be a time of ex- treme excitement, it is prognosticated. Persons whose birth date it is should keep themselves in their regu- lar routine of work in the coming year. Children born on that day may be quick-tempered and generally emo- tional. They should be taught self- control. (Copyright. 1927.) PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Tuberculosis. It is only 50 years since Robert Koch proved that tuberculosis is caused by the tubercle bacillus. Koch thought that”th& tuberculosis of man was not the same as the tuberculosis of cattle, and about 25 years ago he strongly maintained that bovine tu- berculosis practically never developed in man. In this contention he was in error, as he subsequently: acknowl- edged, for it was proved that bovine tuberculosis does- occur in man not infrequently. It is now known that about 25 per cent of all tuberculosis in children under 5 years of age is of the bovine type, the disease being contracted, as a rule, from drinking milk from ‘tuberculous cows. But there is a considerable difference be- tween human and bovine tuberculosis. The bovine type in man is a com- paratively mild disease which seldor or, according to some students of the subject, never develops into serious lung disease, or more than a local infection of the lymph nodes in the neck, deep in the chest or deep in the abdomen. If an animal has tuberculosis its milk may still be a suitable food for man and its flesh is not necessarily unfit or unsafe for man to eat. One hundred children at Randalls Island, N. Y., were fed on milk from tubercu- lous cows and not one of the children developed tuberculosis. In Germany 69 cows with tuberculosis of the udder were kept under observation, their anilk being consumed raw by 360 ‘persons through a period of 13 months. Of these persons 355 re- mained well and 5, of whom 2 were under 2 years of age, developed tu- berculosis of the cervical lymph nodes (“kernels in the netk,” “verof- wla”), the bovine type of tuberculosis. ‘Tuberculosis is so prevalent among dairy herds that most market milk contains bovine tubercle bacilli, and this is the main reason why pas- teurization is necessary to make mar- %et milk safe. Pasteurization means heating the milk up to 140 or 145 de- grees and no higher, holding at that temperature 20 minutes, then cooling @gain. This is sufficient to destroy Bed tubercle bacilll or any other disease germs in the milk. Certified milk, coming from tuberculin tested and regularly examined herds, is free from such contamination. and is therefore safe to feed an infant #and requires. neither pasteurization nor boiling. The form of tuberculois which' ooc- curs in birds and fowl is not patho- genic to man—that is, the is very rarely, if ever, transmitted from fowl to man. So we need not worry much about the health of the hen that laid the egg, nor need we give ourselves any anxiety over the ‘con- stitutional vigor of the chicken that comes with the candied sweet po- tatoes. ‘Whether bovine tuberculosis in man eventually becomes transmuted into the human type is a knotty prob- lem which the pathologists are still trying to settle. We may assume that such a change does occur after a period of 20 years or more in some cases. If so, this would explain the development of active tuberculosis, such as lung tuberculosis, in a young adult who, in early childhood, became infected with bovine tuberculosis. Anyway, when the tuberculin test, as applied by trained veterinarians, shows a dairy anima] has tubercu- losis, that animal should be removed from the herd, whether her milk at the moment contains tubercle bacilli or not.

Put in a layer of potatoes with a sprinkling of salt, and for seasoning a few small pieces of butter and about a dessertspoonful of broken or sliced very small Swis§ cheese. Then put more potatoes, butter, salt and cheese, layer on layer until you have as much as you wish. Put a cover on the pan and slowly cook. When the potatoes begin to brown on the bottom of the pan, begin to turn and continue to turn until they are all done. Potatoes are delicious fried in this way. Talk By SHIRLEY RODMAN WILLIAMS.

There is literally no excuse for having the nursery one whit less in- teresting or less artistic than any other room in the house. For the shops are showing such intriguing minjature furniture these days, not to mention drapery fabrics and ac- cessories to appeal to youthful tastes, and even delightful, diminutive doll furniture with historical antecedents. ‘The' two funny, dear little chairs shown here are designed to accom- modate very, very short legs. They are made in the Tennessee moun- tains, of native white oak, with seats woven of hickory splints. They are sturdy, honest and homelike.

I said, “How do you like my shoes?" and Joan said, “Take them out of the box .s0 I can see them,” and I said, “I am wearing them.” Joan saj “Those?" I said, “Yes,” and Joan looked at them some more, and I said, “What is the matter? Don’t you like them?"” and Jean said, “You might as well have kept on wearing the old ones.” I said, “What is wrong with this pair?” and Joan said, “Why didn't you get more stylish toes?” 1T said, “What are stylish toes?” and Joan said, “More pointed ones—the kind Mr. Stewart wears,” and I said, “He would. Let him be the Chinese debutante of this tenement. As for me, comfort comes first."” Joan said, “Didn't you buy a sult and a hat?” and I sald, “I didn’t have time. I will try to get them tomor- row,” and Joan was still looking at my shoes and she said, “I think I had better meet you downtown and help you pick them out.” I said, “That is too much for even me to stand,” and Joan sald, “What?" I said, “I have let you be the direc- tor of the budget and manager of my jmorals and my own private Mussolini and I've never kicked. But the time has come for the worm to make a hairpin turn. 1 will never let a wife of mine pick out my clothes,” Joan said, “Well, you certainly are ungrateful. I only wanted to help you,” and 1 said, “Consider yourself kissed and thanked, but there have been a lot of guys who let their wives pick out their clothes, and their Wives got their throats cut and the guys got hanged.” _Joan said, “I will never try to help you again, I can promise you that,” and 1 said, “It isn't your turn to crab.

IDEAR MISS DIX: I used to think that I had but to shower attentions on the girl of my fancy and she must needs go into rhapsodies over her good fortune in having a_man of my caliber seek her hand. Indeed, I thought she had no alternative but to fall in love with me. But such I found not to be the case, although my vanity still prevents me from knowing how she could be so foolish as not to appreciate me. T This particular girl of whom I speak accepts my invitations and laughs with me and is happy in my company—in short, is a jolly good scout, but that is all. “She doesn’t care a rap for me. Am I right in concluding that a woman will go out with any man so long as he has a thick bankroll and is willing to spend it on her? I would like this question to be answered so that T will know how to guide my actions, as I do not care to waste my lh.no.uml money on a girl if she has no strong liking for me. S, 8. Auswer: You are not alone, S. ., in thinking that no woman could resist your charms, and that all that you had to do was to throw the hand- kerchief like a lordly Sultan and have the poor things fighting with each other to pick it up. Many other men entertain the same optimistic opinion of their charms. They belieye that no woman can give them the once-over without losing her heart on the spot, and that they have but to pick and choose in the rosebud garden of girls. And when the woman says “no” instead of “yes.” when the man finally honors her by popping the question to her, her refusal is attributed to her bad taste and lack of judgment, and the man consoles himself by saying that he was disappointed in her and that she wasn't as intelligent as he thought she was, after all. | Certainly a woman will go out with a man as long as he has plenty of | money which he is willing to spend upon her. Why not? What is money good for except to be spent upon women? And what sort of a good time can { a man have without the society of some pretty and pleasant girl? It isn’t altruism that makes men spend money on women, for if you will observe you will see that a man seldom reaches the point of generosity when he takes out a plain and homely sister. Mary Jane, with the carroty hair and snub nose and saleratus-biscuit complexion, may be just as hungry as beauteous Imogene with the golden locks and the skin you love to touch and the willowy form. But it's Imogene whom men feed, and not Mary Jane. . Frumpty Susan may be just as fond of automobiles and enjoy dancing just as much as does Mabel, who looks like a daily hint from Paris, but you don’t need two guesses to tell you which maiden is asked to go joyriding and is taken out to cabarets and night clubs. Men show attentions to women because they desire to, not hecause the ‘women want them. No girl has any way of making a man spend a penny on her pleasures unless he feels like it. So don’t blame the girls, or feel that they are gold-diggers because they run around with the men who ask them. Such being the case, it seems to me that when the girl makes herself pleasant and agreeable, and jolly and companionable, she has done all that a man has a right to expect of her. She has paid for whatever benefit she has received by adding to the joy of the occasion. No girl can be expected to fall In love with a man just because he takes her to the movies, or gives her a dinner, or to marry him out of gratitude for a few attentions. If a man doesn’t feel that the girl's soclety is worth the price, he has always the privilege of dropnlng h.eh' B DOROTHY DIX. JDEAR DOROTHY DIX: My husband is awtully good to me and buys me beautiful clothes, and he adores both baby and me. Our life together would be just heavert if he didn’t accuse me of nagging every time I speak to him about. something he does that I don't like. Is it nagging for a wife to tell her husband what she thinks about certain things that he does that are wrong? L. T. Answer: Every husband has his own private definition of what constitutes nagging. Generally speaking, nagging is harping on the same string, making the same suggestion over and over again, repeating the same admonition or advice hundreds of times. For instance, it is nagging when a wife reminds her husband every time he lights a cigarette or gets out his pipe of what an extravagance the use of tobacco is, and how injurious it is to the nerves or how it scents up the curtains. Tt is nagging when she is forever throwing in his teeth the time he lent some money to a friend that never was repaid, or the night he stayed down late at the lodge, or the occasion when he wouldn’t change his shoes when hig feet were wet and got a bad cold. It is nagging when, year after year, Lis wife tries to make him go to her church, or she tries to make him resign from his club, and to give up all of his little tastes and pleasures because she doesn’t happen to like them. It’s nagging when she never lets him rest about buying a new automobile, or doing over the house, or doing anything else she has set her heart upon. Nagging is much more common than women realize, because most women are constitutionally incapable of saying a thing once and letting it alone. The majority of them haven't very much that is new to think about, and so their minds run vpon ?ny little grievance until it becomes an obsession with them. ng it, they dwell on that one particular subject until it nerves. p MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. One mother says: When 1 am phoning, baby often makes so much racket I am unuble to hear. Now when I wish for a few quiet moments, baby takes up her small play telephone and goes into an- other room, closing the door after her. She pretends she is phoning like mother, and is kept quiet until mother 'l!i finished with her call. (Copyright, 19!

AT DOROTHY DIX. ‘R DOROTHY DIX: I havé worked so hard to give my three girls a good education. I put them through college, now they all have good positions, but they live at home and refuse to give me a penny for board, or pay me for doing their washing and mending and sewing. They say that it is my duty and they owe me nothing for that. I am old, and I have to go out to work and make the money to run our little home. I have no decent clothes and I cannot wear their old ones, because they are too short, dresses up to their knees. They are very disrespectful to me.
