WOM Courtesies on Busy Streets BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘There are certain courtesies of motor- st toward pedestrians and pedestrians toward motorists which exist but for which there are nd actual rules of eti- Quette. Caution and precaution are the safeguards distinguishing the courte- sies. The pedestrian should beware of CHILDREN SHOULD BE WARNED ABOUT CROSSING STREETS, LEST THEY ENDANGER THEMSELVES AND MOTORISTS ALSO. attempting to cross a street or road when this would seriously inconvenience & motorist. This is a hitherto unfor- mulated but excellent first courtesy or rule for pedestrians, many of whom seem to believe that it is the motorist alone who should exercise care. ‘The second courtesy that every mo- torist greatly appreciates is the hasten- ing of a pedestrain’s steps when crossing a street, They may permit the driver to continue without changing the speed = goars, Children should be instructed never to cross a street or road until autos have passed, and then to hurry as fast a8 they can to reach the other side before another car comes. When a child is heedless of these things, it is apt to be in part the parent’s fault for not impressing the importance upon DAILY DIET RECIPE EMERALD BALL. Grated raw carrot, one-half cup. Chopped olives, one-fourth cup. Cream cheese, three and oné- half ounces. Salt, one-fourth teaspoon. Minced parsley, one-fourth cup. SERVES 6 OR 7 PORTIONS. Grate about two large carrots.

The question of safe passage to| the other side of the street is assured It is & gracious thing for the pedes-| |trian to acknowledge such a courtesy { by a slight bow without decreasing the | speed of the step. The person who in the midst of rapid transit that is governed by signals | presumes to hold up his hand to stop| ! traffic and so safeguard his crossing the | street is a menace to life of others. | Vehicles have the right of way. They ry to move as rapidly as possible. If suddenly halted, the motors behind the| i first one have to stop suddenly, and, | somewhere down the line of traffic a| driver may not be quick enough to pre- | | vent his car from bumping into the one |in front of him. The pedestrian is at| fault. although he may be far in ad- vance and have reached the opposite side of the street in safety to himself. The dangers that arise from lack of courtesies between pedestrians and mo- torists are many. Reckless drivers fail to consider their value even more than | do reckless pedestrians, The average person, however, is not reckless. It is | a sorry state of affairs that exists where life is lost and prosperity is destroyed through thoughtlessness.

The peace of two young mothers in- tent on “visiting” is often shattered effectually by their gentle offspring, who | activities are restricted to pulling each other’s hair and biting in an effort to enjoy the same toys at the same time. Mrs. F. R. H. thus outlines the situa- tion: “I am 21 years old and the mother of two babies. My oldest is 215, and never still & minute. She eats and sleeps well and has a daily nap. “I go visiting once a week to the home of a girl friend, and she comes once a week to see me. She also has & child of 2!, years. Our problem is how | to keep peace between them. They scrap over every toy, and she and I are worn out trying to reason with them and visit, too. “My daughter has never played with any one but this one child. She has a pet dog. which she teases, and I wonder if that is why she teases this child? ‘The other child won't fight back, but stands and cries, or else runs and tells me what she has done. My daughter has the bad habit of biting. I have bitten her, and it stopped her for a while, but she starts it again. My friend and I will watch the column for your answer, as we both read it.” Sounds pretty much like average 214~ year-old children, Mrs. F. R. H. Most of them put might before right, and prefer war to peace. Suppose you and your friend stop being listeners, arbiters and peace makers for a while and see what happens. Start out by furnishing each child with identical toys—two dolls, two buggies or wagons, two doll beds, innumerable squares of cloth to wrap about them, two brooms and dust- pans, etc. Let the friend bring her own toys with her or manage two sets, since you use them so often. ‘Then let the children manage their own squabbles. You have avolded chances of conflict. and the best lessons the pacifistic child can learn learn that she’ll be left alone if she shows that she can fight. The leaners are always the prey of other children. One lesson is usually enough. I think it far better if the other child does her retaliatory biting and show your child what it feels like. You can’t teach her that biting is cruel if you bite her, can you? You teach her only that you are stronger than she. The lesson that will strike home is to let the other child return in kind, or else make her close her sharp little teeth into her own arm if she bites the other child. She won't be angry at herself and she'll learn how unpleasant & prac- tice this is. o Curried Bluefish.

I NEVER TOUCH THE FILTHY WEED.” PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. A Gold Star Letter. “I am taking this opportunity to thank you for what you have done for me in the last five or six years,” writes an Idaho reader. “About flve years ago I had a white spot on my lip which looked just like a splash of white paint. It wasn't sore at all, so it didn't worry me. until it had been there for six months or more and seemed to be spreading. I work for a corporation. 1 showed the company doctor my lip and he said it was only a little irrita- tion and didn't amount to anything. I thought a doctor ought to know, so I paid no _more attention for a month or so. Then I saw an article of yours in the paper warning people to beware of white spots about the mouth. I became alarmed- il ‘Which reminds the conductor of an- other. instance in which something in this column alarmed a reader so much that he went straight to a doctor for examination. The doctor found that the trouble was not malignant, and the reader was so mad that he took certain steps which eventually made me feel the lash of his wrath. But I don't care. Let our Idaho friend con- tinue his story. “I became alarmed and went to see another doctor who examined the lip and pronounced it cancer. I wasn't satisfied even then, and visited two more_doctors who both agreed with the first. Then I had a doctor treat it with radium and it sloughed away and has never returned. I saw a sur- geon about it only yesterday and he tells me he belleves it is gone for good. So I have only you to thank for the fact that I am still living.” This is & very precious letter, one of the class I call gold star letters. I published another gold star letter here two years ago, from a mother who told how the description of Schafer's prone- pressure resuscitation she had found in this column had enabled her to resus- citate her little son when she found him in & pond near the home. A gold star letter is one that tells how knowledge obtained in this column has proved life- saving in its application.

Brimful of vim and zest. Full of crunchy wheat. All the nourishment of the whole grain. Plus extra bran for extra health. Just enough added fiber to be mildly laxative. : Flavor, pep and health — all combined. That’s why Kellogg's Pep Bran Flakes are better bran flakes. Great for breakfast. Fine for lunch.

Something else might have brought him into the hands of a good doctor before the cancer became too far advanced for a cure. Be that as it may, I am proud of the letter, which shall occupy & special place in my scrapbook. If any other readers are fooling with obstinate spots or sores on the lip, that refuse to heal in a few weeks at longest, 1 hope they'll be alarmed enough to go to a good doctor at once. Flat Feet or Weak Feet? I am having a lot of trouble with my feet and as my work requires long hours on my feet I wonder if you will recommend some kind of special shoes or arch braces for me.—Miss D. H. Answer—Try this test: Stand barefoot on floor and see if you can raise your- self up on your toes. If you can your feet are not flat and braces would be injurious. Send stamped envelope bear- ing your address and ask for instruc- tions for care of feet and proper foot- wear. (Copyright, 1930). — Popovers.

Egotism is a name of a specific at- titude which some people display in the presence of other people. A great deal depends on who the others are. The prevailing notion is that an ego- tistic person thinks only of himself. I have about come to the conclusion | that the oppesite is just as likely to be true. He thinks too much about what other people think. Moreover, he gen- erally has a small opinion of himself. despite his attitude to the contrary.
