Left-Handedness. | Left-handedness comes up for dis- | cussion frequently in this column. The subject always seems to arouse a Vin- dictive spirit in right-handed readers They spring to the defense of one or another of the erroneous ideas which we are constantly trying to clear up. Par- ents who have successfully cured their own children of left-handedness are convinced that the same methcd would | work with all the left-handed persons in the world. The mistake all of these wall inte! tioned people make is in classing le handedness as a bad habit. They failed to notice that all babies are amt dextrous. Before 6 months of age babies show very little preference for either | hand, using right or left with equal | tacilit; It is the child’s environment | which encourages the use of the right hand in preference to the left. We nat- urally offer objects to the right hand. | To do otherwise is awkward. Try it and | see. | _However, the naturally right-handed child will be right-handed in spite of his environment. And the raturally left-handed child will be left-handed, unless, of course, we continually force:| him to change his natural tendency to |suit us. Ingrained in each child is a | definite pattern of nerves and muscles. |It is a real handicap to continually force the naturally left-handed child to use the right hand. He usually does learn if the pressure is great enough, |but the large number of left-handed | persons indicates that influence and the | natural ambition to conform are not |always enough to force the change. | The left-handed child never learns to use the right hand with quite the ease | and artfulness he would have used the | other hand. | One reader concluded that the pres- ent-day mothers are not conscientious enough in their duty of forcing children to be right-handed. What has really happened is that most of us have de- cided that left-handed persons should be allowed to use the left hand. The result of this attitude is that there are many more children in the schools to- day using the left hand. And with our passion for statistics we have definite figures of the nurhbers of left-handed persons. Of course, there are families of 10 or more without any left-handed children, Jjust as there are families of the same size without any red-headed or blue- eyed children. Left-handedness has al- ways existed, and all of us know half a dozen people who use the left hand. I am afraid, Mrs. M. A. K. that I cannot echo your wish that high chairs have right-handed containers for toys. After all, this is a predominately right- handed world, and all our utensils, tools, methods of serving food, and so on, are designed for the right-handed person. It a child can leap those everyday handicaps and still remain left-handed, notgne should put another straw in his path. Mrs. M. A. K. and all other readers interested in this subject will profit by reading about the speech difficulties en- countered by the left-handed child who is forced to use the right hand for the finer muscular activities, such as writ- ing, cutting, drawing. and so on.

M?VIES AND MOVIE PEQPLE BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Calif., February 21.— Gloria Swanson is all ready to go on her new picture. I think more people are interested in what this star is And her recent success has been one of the most thrilling things in | pictures. Owen Moore and Ian Keith are the two handsome gentlemen in her new story, Gloria Swanson is a very clever woman in many ways. But one of her keenest theories is that of having men Some of our most successful established stars pick leading men from the ranks of the col- | ony’s handsome young men. Not real- | izing that, by doing so, they emphasize | their own maturity. Gloria will sing in this one also. “What a Widow” it is called. Fights Kelly” and they are not over yet. The best thing that can be done with a fail- ure s to close the door upon it and for- get. But producers look at the balance sheet and figure that something should be done. Marie Dressler and Polly Moran are inseparables. Not only do they work together in pictures with highly langh- able results, but they play about to- | gether outside of studio hours. | But they have had amazingly differ- | ent backgrounds. Marie Dressler has a long career of professional and social trilumphs. Gay and smart New York entertamned her years ago. And she has been a great continental favorite also. But Polly Moran is—well, just Polly Moran. She isn't concerned about the correct pronunciation of hors d'oeuvres variees. Neither does she really see the | superior flavor of the endive as against | the good old lettuce leaf. Caviar is just | “that black stuff on toast” and to be spoken of in a shudder. But Marie Dressler is making a world- ling out of Polly Moran. She's drum- ming drawing room technique into the rough and ready Polly. And’Polly is taking it in good faith—there's a great friendship between these two. 1 was standing on the Hammerstein |to jell, set watching Gas Vienna being unrolled | after dipping MERRICK. with a half smile on his face. I racked my brains but couldn't place him. So I said to one of the executives, “Who is the handsome blond>" At that moment the “handsome blond” came over.

Gray, who has one of the fin- est baritone voices in the colony, has not come up to their ideals of sex appeal in his two former pictures. It began to look rather dark for the former Ziegfeld leading man. Out here pro- Aucers expect sex appeal pl | galore have centerea around “ucen | bpeal plus in their favorites. ' So a make-up man went to work and transformed the singer into a blond. The entire personality is so changed that I don't think it's rash to predict that he will be a contestant for the first place in feminine hearts this coming season. He is from the studios. the British Isles. el “I knew you were English the mo- ment I first glimpsed you,” he crooned at their first meeting. "I saw you com- ing out of the Mayfair with Piccadilly all over your face.” “Mercy!” she replied. “I must have forgotten to wipe my mouth.” (Copyright, 1930, North American Newspaper Alliance.) Jellied Grapefruit. Cut three large grapefruit in*halves | and cut out all the pulp, saving the juice. Take out all the skin from the hulls. Put two heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar over the grapefruit and drain off all the juice and place the pulp on ice. Put one box of lemon jello into ore cupful of boiling water and when cool add the grapefruit juice.

My little boy simply hated to have | be his hair washed and the more he wiggled and screamed the harder it was for me to do it and the more soap he got in his eyes. One day as I was about to tackle this job, I spied daddy's eye shade and as it was one of the ten-cent varfety, I decided to put it on little Billy when I washed his hair. It worked like magic. First he pretended that he was in an office and during the process of washing we discussed the day’s work which must be done, I being his secre- tary and he being the “Boss.” The job was completed in half the former time, and there was .10 fussing and no smart- ing eyes.

Some white sauce, well seasoned, may be added to the gravy and make it go farther. Pat or roll some baking fx’wd" biscuit dough to fit a round ayer cake pan, then bake. Split while hot to make two layers. Heat the chicken in the sauce and just before serving pour half of it between the split layers and the other half over the top. Serve at once. YOU bave definite assugance of quality whenever Ure Druggist FEALURES, FARM LORE I worked on farms long years ago, and there I lesrned how much of woe unseemly weather can produce, how _lt can cook the farmer's . There'd ¢ some months with little rain, and | every one would have a pain. The corn | we knew would surely fail if such punk weather should prevall. We watched the heavens every day, predicting what | would come our way. A million youth- ful rustic swains ussed the winds, the dews, the rains. And now we have | grown old in towns, who once wore | farmhands’ hand-me-downs. It's long | since we have known the charm of aising things upon the farm. We aven't any fleld of oats, we haven't ny sheep or goats; no wholesome pumpkins do we raise, no succotash or | beans or maize. And still we watch the | skies and say, “We ought to have a | he fields are turning dusky e no rain comes sploshing | down.” We think of crops that are nct ours, and beg J. Pluvius for showers And when the weather is serene we gc around with joyous mien, and slap the | other fellows' backs, and say, “All | things are right as wax.” All men ,who've lived upon a farm will view | punk weather with alarm, although it's long since they have seen a growing | nutmeg or a bean. The farm 1 owned | was long since lost, but when there is | a killing frost, and growing greens are | chilled and slain, I feel a dark and ob- leng pain. I have no orchard of my | own, but I can only grieve and groan | when some new pest, some bug or scale, is mentioned in my daily mail. Me- thilx‘xks no (elcl‘nY cln] outgrow the farm | habits formed long, long ago. WALT MASON. Special Baked Apples. ‘Wash, core and pare six large apples. Make a sirup by bringing one cupful of white sugar and one cupful of water to the boiling point. Put the apples into the sirup, cook on one side for several minutes, then furn and cook on the other side. Do not allow the apples to cook completely in the sirup, hut when they are still hard remove them and continue to boil the sirup down. Set the lpgles in a shallow pan, stick | two dozen blanched almonds into them so that they will project like porcupine quills, sprinkle them with sugar and bake in the oven until they are soft and the almonds are slightly brown. Remove from oven, fill the center of each one with currant jelly, pour the sauce over them and serve. “Mildred suffered with her bowels after whooping cough,” says Mrs. K. H. Carter, 1341 Taylor St. NW., Washington. “She was sallow and ilious; didn’t have any appetitc; couldn’t digest her food. “California Fig Syrup has changed all that. It regulated her bowels quickly; improved her appetite and digestion. She has improved right along until friends say she’s a regular prize-winner for health.” Mothers by thousands praise Cali- fornia Fig Syrup. Physicians endorse it. Its rich, fruity flavor appeals to children; its pure vegetable goodness is safe for any child. The prompt relief it brings bilious, headachy, cons stipated children lasts; because it helps tone and strengthen bowels and stomach. Next time bad breath, coat- ed tongue or feverishness warn of constipation, try it with your child and see how it helps! When buying, look for the name California! That marks the genuine, famous for 50 years.
