‘WOMAN’S PAGE.’ lied Thomas: “And {if the Senator from Utah leaves his seat, 1 shall call the fact to the attention of the Senate.” Not once did Smoot leave his seat during those long hours. He turned around to where he could face Thomas, Jeaned back comfortably, and waited for the breaks. There was a determined look on his face. He was just waiting In| until Thomas had talked himssif out. reporters of debate find it necessary to sit almost under his nose when he served him for any length of time know that Smoot can hold his own with the best of them, that when it comes to a showdown he neither asks nor gives quarter. .And that usually he is the last to yell , “enough.” So it was when Thomas of Oklahoma decided to do a little filibustering the other day in an effort to force reten- tion of a $51,000 item for Indigns on 3]9 Interior Department appropriation 1. Smoot was the obstacle in his path. And that obstacle was still there when, some five hours later, Thomas sat down, utterly exhausted. ‘The two removed all gloves at the rt. Said Smoot: ‘The threat that he would hear more about Indians than he had ever heard before in his life left him unmoved. His attitude seemed to be that he wel- comed the opportunity. ‘There was, however, one thing he would insist upon—Thomas should be the only one to instruct him. He would permit no Indian talk from any one else. So when his brother Senator from Utah, King, interrupted, Smcot gave him to understand that he could only ask a question. When Copeland of New York tried to get consideration on an urgent measure concerning the Dis- trict of Columbia, and assured Smoot it would take only a minute, he found Smoot objecting. submit a routine report on nominations, Smoot said “no.” Gillette of Massachu- setts asked to have something printed in the Record, but Smoot was adamant. Frazier of North Dakota attempted to read something peflaln!n% to the In- dians, but Smoot stopped him. At last Thomas, very tired and exas- perated, sat down. There was real feel- ing in his voice when he said: “During eight years I have been un- able to reach his (Smoot’s) heart. I have failed this time.” “Tl] keep the Senate in session right on into the night * * *” Smoot’s face registered nothing. Speeding Up Breakfast BY MISSIS PHYLLIS. ‘When Anna Marie got married she of wonderful ideas about And especially about ast in her new home. There were always to be fresh flowers and clean linen and the daintiest of serv- dce—the food always to be carefully and served for this, the most 11 meal of the day. Well, that worked out beautifully— the first three months. Then it grew increasingly hard to get up in time to serve those lovely little meals and gradually the budget had difficuities In providing the fresh flowers.

She got ready on the kitchen table everything that she pos- sibly could. Then in the morning there ‘was no rushing around looking for eggs and mixing bowls and a package of oatmeal. Now let's look over Anna Marie's shoulder and see what she gets for breakfast and how much she does evening before. Here is one of her menus: _ Orange juice, ready-cooked cereal, French toast with poached egg and jelly, coffee or cocoa. e people prepare orange juice the evening before, pour it in the glasses and leave it in the refrigerator to chill. Others think that this rather spoils the flavor of the juice. If you are one of these last, put the oranges with the squeezer, glasses and sharp knife on the kitchen table. It is but a moment’s Iotrk in the morning to get the juice out. The cereal box is on the kitchen table, the dishes beside it. If you prefer the cereal crisped before eating put it in a pie pan in the oven for a few min- utes while you are getting something else ready. The milk destined for the toast may be right in the front of the refrigerator 80 that it can be brought out with the butter and cream the first thing in the morning. The egg for the toast is put into a bowl in which you will mix it with the milk and dip the bread into it. The pan in which you are going to poach the eggs is set on the stove, and the eggs you are going to poach are on the table. The frying pan is on the stove and the fat you will use for frying on the table. The coffee is measured and tightly covered, so it won't lose flavor. Cumats Vo mlpbons Sty inches.

Designs also may be used for pillows, cushions, lampshades, waste paper bas- kets, corners of curtaing, bedspreads and panelled on doors of children’s cup- boards. You may obtain the full sized pattern for the hollyhock applique free if you will write for it. Address your request The prettiest way to serve eggs and toast in this fashion is to put one ched egg on a slice of French toast the middle of the plate. Cut two other slices cornerwise, and place them on the four sides of the whole slice, and in_the center of these triangles put a cu.> of felly. This saves the trouble of serving sirup, and is a novelty besides. Another menu consists of apricot fluff, cooked cereal, cinnamon toast, scrambled eggs with bacon curls. If you dont care for a hearty break- fast, you may use these same menus, but cut down materially on the quantity, and so get more variety in the meal Or, of course, you may omit either the cereal or the eggs. This fruit course is made the day before, put into sherbet glasses and set in the refrigerator, to be removed and brought to table the next day. Cook dried apricots until very soft and ten- der and force through a sieve. Fold in one well beaten egg white. Garnish with a cherry if you like or serve with a slice or wedge of lemon. The cereal may be cooked over a low fire for an hour the evening before. Cook it in the double boiler and put it on to reheat in the morning. In this Way you may use the cereal that re- quires long cooking and the flavor of which many people like better than the quick-cooking kind. Get the eig and bacon out on the :;l;le.

The difficulty lay in the fact that your mind was “set” to make “Mack” out of “Mac” by the time you got to it. There are three factors entering into the mental set in this| case. First, the letters in the four words are arranged in an unusual way—with hyphens between letters. This tends to break up your habits of pronunciation. In the second place the words are not used in a sentence. This takes away any associated meaning. Words standing alone do not convey a com- plete idea.

DEAR MISS DIX—In & recent magazine there was a story depicting the heart- breaking time that girls have as they realize that when they meet 8 young man they have to make good and capture his fancy within five minutes or else be considered a “dud” or a “lemon” or whatever epithet callow youths may apply to young women. Can you not help the poor girls and suggest some remedy for this martyrdom of the innocents? L. W. Answer: T am afraid there is no help for the girls who are not natural-born vamps and who do not carry a rabbit’s foot in their vanity cases, for the modern young man has a heart of stone, and no g-thetlc spectacle of wilting wallflowers ever touches it, nor could any representation of mine, nor any admonitions from his mother nor any entreaties of his hostess induce him to go to ther rescue, though we spoke with the tongues of men and of angels. 1 can mingle my tears with yours. I think a modern ball room is one of the saddest sights on earth, for in it you always find wild-eyed, terror-stricken, crushed and humiliated girls who are just as pretty, just as beautifully dressed as the other girls, but who, for some reason that no one can fathom, are passed | over and are never asked to tread a measure, while the fortunate girls dance holes | | in their slippers. Before every dance you can see these unappropriated maidens’ | faces brighten with hipe. And then as the boys pass them by you can sense the disappointment that engulfs them. Even when one is asked to dance, her triumph is tinged with the horror of impending disaster, for she knows she is lost unless some other hero comes to her rescue and that if perchance her partner has to dance with her six minutes he will consider himself a martyr. The man and woman who have seen the dreams of a lifetime blighted and withered in a single hour: the man and woman whose ambitions have crashed to earth and who have known themselves failures; the man and woman who have been seared by the bitter, scorching shame of being 1_I:uhllcly humiliated ‘who have looked forward to coming out in society and having a good time and being popular and having plenty of dates, and who find themselves ignored, passed over, left out, the victims of the caprices of boys. These girls have not, as older people have, any philosophy to help them meet the situation. They have not the consolation of knowing that the world is full of a number of things besides parties, and that the baggy collegians and the drug store sheiks who have turned them down are not worth worrying over. They have been humiliated before their little world and all is cinders, ashes and Hence these tears. Nothing can be done about it, because you cannot make boys pay attention to a girl, or even dance with her, unless they want to. Nor is there any way by which you can infuse into a girl that mysterious quality that gives her charm for men, It does show how far wrong we are in thinking of girlhood as the happiest time of & woman's life. For a favored few it is, but for most girls it is a period of agonizing anxiety, It is also & time of strenuous effort to placate boys, of wearing the smile | that won’t come off, no matter how bored she is; df trying to look gay and bright and vivacious while some egotist is monologuing about himself; of en- during any and every kind of male and flattering and cajoling him in order to win his favor, for well a girl knows that unless she can have a string of men always in attendance she will have none. Men are like sheep. Where one goes the others follow. For the girl who has seven beaux shall have seven more added unto her, but she that hath only one shall have even that one taken away | from her. The conclusion of the whole matter of the unpopular girl seems to be this: That the mothers should not, as so many mothers do, force their daughters to g0 to parties at which they will have the humiliation of being wallflowers, and that the girls should have enough independence to strike out for themselves and interest themselves in something else than boys. They will get a lot more out of running after a career than they will out of pursuing a man who outsprints them. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1931.) PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M.

The attacks are very mild and he is a robust child, but I should like to relieve him entirely of these night coughing spasms. I have proved your statement that cold air is soothing and tends to relieve the child. I wonder if this is a kind of croup? If it is, please tell me how to manage croup. Mrs. 8. W. A. No, that is not croup, though the barking cough may be correctly de- scribed as “croupy,” because it sounds | like the peculiar barking cough of a youngster developing spasmodic croup. More likely this child’s cough is due to enlargement of some lymph nodes (kernels) in the neck, consequent upon infection entering through a lesion of the nose, throat, teeth or ears. A not uncommon cause of such a cough in a| child not long after the child has gone to bed is the frritation of the back of the throat by secretion which drains down from the back of the nose when the child lies on his back, This is an indication for a careful examination of the nose by means of headlight and speculum, and the treatment of what- ever little trouble the doctor finds. Often it is a simple chronic rhinitis. Obviously it is not fair to such a child to ply him with alleged cough medi- cines when he needs to have his nose treated by the doctor. Apparently croup still happens, though I had begun to think simple spasmodic croup had passed into his- tory along with long-legged red flannel underwear. But croup is another story, and any reader interested in these historical matters may send a stamped envelope bearing the address and ask for advice about croup. There is still one other occasional cause of such a barking cough, in child or adult, that is worth knowing. Some- EVERY CHARMING woman in the skin.

What Buster Thought. Tieres' Tothine ke itue" cpeed: —Buster Bear, When, under the big brush pile in Buster Bear was awakened by the barking of Flip the Terrier, he was first in a bad temper, as many folks are when suddenly aroused from sleep. He was wide awake almost at once, and he knew right away that that dog had found his hiding place and knew he was in there. He knew by the barking that it was a small dog that was making all that noise, and he wasn't afraid of a small dog. For that matter, he wasn't afraid of any dog. Of course, not. He was simply annoyed and angry. Then he heard the voice of Farmer Brown's Boy, and fear took the place of anger. He didn’t know it was Farmer Brown's Boy. All he knew was that one of those two- legged creatures that he had long ago learned were the only ones for whom he need have either respect or fear had found his retreat, and instantly fear took possession of him. ‘What should he do? At first he de- clded to remain right where he was. But the longer he remained doing noth- ing the greater 'w his fear. It be- came a panic. He just couldn’t stand it any longer. No, sir; he couldn't. He must get away from there. You know what happened then. He charged out from under the brush pile, fright- ening Flip almost to death. Flip then tripped up Farmer Brow Boy and the |latter fell headlong with a vell of fright, quite as badly scared as was Flip. That yell added to Buster'’s fright and gave him much more speed. He had but one thought, and that was to get away from there and do it in the quickest possible time. Now a Bear, even such a big Bear as was Buster, can travel surprisingly fast when he is in a real hurry, and Buster was in a real hurry. He crashed through brush and bumped into trees and didn't even know it. He just kept on going.

He crashed into a thicket where Lightfoot the Deer wildly out and away, quite as fright- ened as was Buster Bear, and the noise he made added to Buster's fright. tried to run faster. From almost under his nose Thun- noise of stout wings that in his panicky state seemed to Buster like the roar of a terrible gun, and he fairly whimpered aloud. He ran until he couldn't run any longer. You see, he wasn't in good condition for running. He had been asleep so long that his muscles were soft, and he was soon out of wind. He had to stop. That was all there was to _it—he had to stop. He just had to.
