Of course, this would not mat- ter so much in a case of carbon mon- oxid asphyxiation or in a case of elec- tric shock as it would in a case of sub- mersion. but anyway there is no good reason or justification for this peculiar alteration or amendment of the Schae- fer method. Schaefer describes it as follows “It consists in laying the subject n the prone posture, preferably on the ground. with a thick folded gar- ment underneath the chest and epigastrium “The operator puts himself ath- wart to astrid of the subject. fac- ing his head. and places his hands on either side over the lower part of the back (lowest ribs). BRADY., M. D. He then slowly throws the weight of his body forward to bear upon his own arms. and thus presses upon the thorax of the subject and forces air out of the lungs. This being effected. he gradually relaxes the pressure by bringing his own body up again to a more erect position, but without moving the han This simple movement. which any in- telligent child can and should be able to perform in an emergency, should be kept up at the rate of 15 times a min- ute, for as many hours as may be nec- essary Schaefer shows both hands of the subject resting on the ground just above the subject’s head. The subject’s face is turned toward one side. in order that the nose and mouth may be un- obstructed If the ground or floor is not level it is better to place the subject with the head lower than the feet If no garment or pad is handy. the method is still effective without an: thing under the abdomen. for the operator squeezes the supject against the ground. It is of the utmost importance to be- gin the instant the need arises. and never interrupt the work even for a few seconds unless by command and au- thority of a responsible physician. If the victim is to be carried away from the scene, the artificial respiration must be continued every moment while he is being moved. The operator need not desist to permit the application of heat or other remedies. nor to permit the administration of hypodermics. (Copyright. 19281 Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLI What Marriage Means. | Why does marriage affect the woman with the career in a material way? It affzcts her materially because it affects her career in a direct manner Suppose you are a painter., maybe you are one. and you marry. You marry a man out of sympathy with you and vour work. but you marry him. anyway, because of a deep affection. love, or ad- miration. Any reason will do, and fre- quently does. Then he begins to interfere with your career. He interrupts your working hours. His engagements are out of step with yours. He entertains when vou have planned to work. He demands vour attention when you can give it least. In short, he makes your career sec- onddary. The material result is felt at once. It is feit alike by most artistic and professional women Before marriage. women whose ca- roers have been developed to a fruitful stage should have a distinct under- standing with their husbands-to-be. Pither they are to continue their pro- fessions or callings or drop them Women who earn fair to generous in- eomes by their efforts are loath to give them up. Earning one’s living gives one a feeling and spirit of independence that cannot be expressed in dollars and cents. Then marriage comes along. It may interrupt one’s career, make methodi- cal work or regular hours of emplov- ment impossible, or impose on one household responsibilities and chores which preclude any success at a voca- tion. In the end the woman pays. It is she who sacrifices. Some women are willing to give up their career to be housewives. An in- creasing number are not. They like to be busy, they like to be productive. If they have a creative instinct, work is their only access to contentment. If marriage is to deny them all of this, it should be known in advance, If the bargain seems a fair or desirable one, let it be made with open eyes after clear reasoning. Many marriages that foundered would have succeeded with understanding on this subject Marriage will Inevitably affect some women with careers in & material way. They should decide before embarking on the seas of matrimony whether the bargain is a fair one. Life is a series of forced options. We cannot have everything we must choose that which comes first. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS Weight Reducing. | fne ioea of being able to regulate weight at will is & fascinating one 10 most overweights until they try it and find out how much patience and self- denial are required. There is no royal road 1o slimness: in the average case each excess pound must be starved out or exercised off. There are exceptions however, when overweight is due to faulty functioning of the endocrine glands and medication indicated under a physician’s orders Two things are responsible for excess weight in the vast majority of cases They are wrong diet and lack of suffi- cent exercise Under the former head come overeating At mealtimes, eating between meals and eating too many sweets, fats and starchy foods. It s not only the guantity but the quality of the food that makes it fattening The overweights us use for fajlure 1o exercise regularly is lack of time and a » of fatigue after the éay’s work. This tired feeling is often due o constipation and mental laziness rather than to actual physical weari- ness. At the beginning of a redueing LEEDS. it may be deducted from the sleep period. The overweight usually spends too much time in bed, anyway It is seldom possible to reduce excess weight by exercise alone. Regulation of diet is also necessary. 1 do not approve at all of the freak diets one reads of which are composed of one or two items of food only, such as the diet of pine- apple and lamb chop, or tomato and hard-boiled egg or the potato and milk diet. One may lose weight rapidly on such slim diets. but one also loses health and good looks. The face becomes haggard, the skin sallow and the whole tone of the body depressed. It is better both for health and for beauty to re duce slowly at the rate of about two pounds a week The healthful reducing diet may be limited as to fuel foods. fats, starches and sugar. but should pravide sufficient protein. minerals. vitaming and rough- age.

Imagine her delight when she saw a black cloth coat trimmed with leopard. It was used for the throw collar with scarf ends and for the large pointed cuffs She liked the slim lines of the coat Another coat which interested her was made of the highly fashionable brown seal. It looked and felt most luxurious. This particular coat was trimmed with collar ending in a scarf which cleverly thrust itself through the lapel of the coat. This coat was beau- tifully lined.

Four Wives Who Used a| Sense of Humor to Keep Their Marriages I'rom Going on the Rocks. 'rHE other day a group of happy and contented wives, who have successfully weathered the storms that beset the earlier portion of the matrimonial voy- age and have safled into the calm seas of domestic bliss, fell into a reminiscent mood and began telling how they negotiated certain dangers that they en- countered on the way. “I married,” sald one woman, “a very handsome and fascinating man who had a romantic temperament and who was a spellbinder as a lover. I am quite sure that in his heart of hearts he has always been faithful to his Poll and that I have always been the only woman that he has ever really cared for. “But you know you can’t have an especial talent without desiring to exercise it. and particularly you can't be very magnetic without having a sneaking desire to see whether your charms are still potent thrill in making love to your wife when it has become a duty instead of a pleas- ure. nor is it any test of your ability as a sheik when you have her eating out of your hand anyway “So after we had been married two or three years my husband began to indulge in a few flirtations, and finally it got so that almost every evening he would doll himself up and go out, leaving me to spend a dreary time keeping the home fires burning by my lonesome. accused me of being jealous. Then I got busy.’ ‘I bought half a dozen different varieties of stationery and began bombard- ing him with anonymous letters that were postmarked from different parts of the city. In one I wrote, ‘Your wife is young and pretty. Do you fool yourself into thinking that she is spending the evening alone while you are off philander- | ing with other women?®' In another I wrote. ‘Who is that man from out of town who knows so wel] the nights you are away?’ And so on, and so on “Well. the first letter gave my husband a jolt. The second one made him sit up and take notice of me, and by the time he got the sixth or the seventh it was borne n upon him that philandering was a game at which two could play. and that if he wanted to keep his wife he had better stay at home and watch his fences. And he did. But he doesn't know to this day who it was that gave him those warnings.” Y HUSBAND is a splendid man." said the second woman a natural-born kicker and fault-finder. Even God Almighty has never been able to please him exactly abbut the way anything is made. No weather is just right for him, It is either too hot or too cold, or it looks as if it is going ! to rain, or it hasn't rained. Every rose has a blight on it somewhere. There is a false note in every melody, and he always finds the defect ‘I was wildly in love with him when I married him, and did my best to please him. and I shed barrels of tears over the way he knocked everything I wore and did, and particularly at the way he knocked my housekeeping. 1 would spend hours over the cook stove and then when he sat down at the table he would scowl at my handiwork and say, ‘You call this soup? What's this con- glomeration? Is this supposed to be bread or concrete?’ “Naturally this got upon my nerves and I determined to cure him of this fault. and so one day as every dish was brought upon the table it bore a large and ornate label of identification attached to it that read. ‘This is soup.’ ‘Beef. Potatocs.” And so on through the entire menu. In addition, on my back 1 wore a large placard which stated that the reason I bought that particular dress was | because I liked it. That ended my husband’s career as impresario of the gnvil chorus at home. He threw away his little hammer, and 1 have never heafd a criticism from him since.’ “N\/[Y HUSBAND is a fine and noble man, with many lovable qualities.” said > the third woman “but he is very penurious about money. He thinks that a home should be run upon air and that clothes should grow like feathers on a woman's back, and when we were first married we had many bitter quar rels over the allowance question. He positively refused to give me any money either for myself or to run the house on, and 1 positively refused to go to him like a beggar and ask for every penny I needed You can leave what money vou choose to spend for food every day on the table.’ I told him. ‘and when my trousseau wears out I will go in rags or get a i job a mannikin in a shop.” ‘You wouldn't humiliate me 0" he said. ‘because | everyhody knows I am wealthy when you don't care for mine,’ I would reply. “So matters went along until one day my husband had invited a very im- portant man and his wife, whom he wished to impress, to dinner and he forgot 1o leave the market money that morning. I hated to hurt him, but I knew it was my chance to strike for economic freedom, and so I said never a word, That night I put on my shabbiest dress, and we sat down to a dinner made of the leftovers in the house. John was mortified to death, but I exp'ined to him it was the best 1 could do when I had no money with which to buy myself decent clothes or the food for & good meal “The object lesson convinced him of his injustice to me. was afraid of what I might do next. | we have never had an argument over Or perhaps he Anyway, he gave me a fair allowance and money since.” ¢’TOHE one defect in the otherwise perfect husband that I got." said the fourth woman, “was that he was addicted to grouchiness. He would go off into spells of gloom in which he would refuse to speak to anybody, and he would answer sepulchrally ‘Nothing' when I would inquire what was the matter, At first 1 tried to apologize all over the place, for I didn't know what, and jollying him and trying to pet him into a good humor. but to no avail, He would gloom along for days and sometimes weeks until he would suddenly come out of the silence as mysteriously as he had gone into it. § “Finally one day when he came home with a brow like thunder and en- | velopad in gloom. I telephoned. without his knowiedge, to a very expensive | alienist, and when he arrived I was wringing my hands. ‘Oh, doctor.' I cried, something terrible has happened to my poor husband! I am afraid something s wrong with his mind, He won't speak to me, and he is sunk in an awful mental depression. Isn't there a thing that they call ‘depressive insanity?" “There is nothing the matter with me.' my husband growled. i *‘Oh, he is so brave that he won't admit it," I eried, ‘but there is, there is! Do vou think it can be brainstorm?' I demanded. | “Well, T never knew whether my husband thought I thought he was going erazy or not, but it cured him of grouching around home. He never dared risk another bill from that alienist.” | e | “I note,” T remarked, “that each of you women who has cured her husband of his besetting sin has used a sense of humor.” DOROTHY DIX.
