Shoes. Shoes are the ferst things many peeple take off at night, and no matter how many other clothes you have on in the morning, you dont start to feel almost cdressed till after you put your shoes on. ‘The ony thing that makes you mad- der than finding a knott in your shoe- lace when youre going to bed feeling sleepy is finding the same knott when youre getting dressed in a hurry the next morning on account of having pulled your shoe off by force insted of untying it. Getting the ferst scratch on a new pair of shoes is a paneful experience, but anyways it makes you lose that careful sensation, being a consolation. The diffrents between a man and a lady trying on shoes in a shoe store ferst pair he tries on feels all rite, while the lady looks sispicious. High heels make exter short ladies ook almost regular size and exter tall ladies look even werse, but all ladies like 0 wear them op account of in- joying the sensation of having their feet look too small to stand on. High heels are one reason why ladies dont wawk more like men. Nobody hardly ever wears button shoes any more except old ladies, be- ing the reason why so many peeple ferst look serprised and then say no when you ask them if they have a but- with the omelet. To_ whiten clothes, boil the articles in a strong solution of cream of tartar water-about one- half hour, then rinse well and boil again in.a well blued water until the water is cl-ar. The sun will aid in making them beauti- fully white. When a recipe calls for maca-| roons and there are no more on hand, taks a cup of dried bread crumbs, one-half cup sugar and two teaspoons almond flavoring, mix together and put in the oven to get very brown.

Dear Miss Leeds—Please tell me how to get rid of some excess fat at the back of my neck. I think it is the re- sult of bending my -head over while I am studying my lessons. ANXIOUS. Answer—You are quite right in think- ing that incorrect posture is at the root of your heauty problem, and until you have gained the habit of holding your head up you will have an awkward neck. When you are reading hold your book up so that you will not have to bend over it. When you write use a desk that slants or put your paper on a drawing board that slants. Bend from the waist instead of from the neck. Keep your shoulders straight and breathe deeply. Deep massage is good for reducing the fat op your neck. After cleansing your skin at bedtime imassage the fat with a brisk tapping movement with the side of your hand for several minutes, Neck exercise will also help. | Throw your head back between your shoulders and roll it from side to side.

Every night scrub your back with soap and warm water and rinse well, dry and pat on some boric acid solution or other antiseptic. Be care- ful to change your outer and under clothes often, 50 that the pimples will not become infected. (2) Please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope for my leaflet on this subject.

Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE '._IFIOWM Mental Radio. Nothing in recent years has done so much as the radio to renew and revive the old superstition that it is possible for one person +to “transfer” or ex- change thoughts with another. A well known novelist was the first to popularize the notion that the radio pointed to the perfection of the days and ways of mental radio. It is natural to infer that, because things are similar, they must therefore be related. In the eyes of the visionary the radio and telepathy look like two parts of an as yet unknown natural force. The first book on the subject. of “Mental Radio” was published *four years ago. The author was in a se! frame of mind at the tim He tells how to “tune l.ni" to “t“!tzn in,” to per- fect the means for getting good “recep- tion,” to “condense” and then ‘“sign oft One wonders why all this foolish 8] lation about the relation of ma- chines to minds. It may be that the rapid improvement of machines in re- cent years has reinforced the old notion that after all the mind is a machine. ving in an age of machines we are im- pressed with inventions we cannot fully understand. Further short-cuts to the ' mysteries 'of life and mind are welcomed. We find it easy to reason by analogy, and hu? txz’ ‘;uqe terms with which we are not familiar. If you feel inclined to take stock in mental radio, you might consider two facts—the radio in your home is a ma- chine and can be explained on physical principles; mental radio is just another name for mental telepathy, which is only a superstition. (Copyright, 1931.) OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Help in Time of Need. Recently I have had three letters from three different children telling me that when they had to take an ex- amination they were so scared that everything they knew flew out of their heads and they failed. They wefe sure they knew the work but the thought of the examination filled them with fear and brought them to defeat. Now fear of this kind is born of ex- perience. Sometime or other these children had a bad time with a paper. The work was beyond them either be- cause it was not well graded—that has happened—or that they were ill pre- pared. That, too, has happened. The memory of that failure stayed long after the cause of it had been for- gotten and each time they looked at an examination paper the fear returned. The only way to quell the fear is to achieve success. That is not as impossible as it sounds. First the mind of the child must be prepared. The reason of the fear ex- plained. The child must acknowledge to himself that he has the power, that is, the information he needs, the in- telligence to use it, and the endurance to carry through a hard five minutes as —and he will succeed. And that is not easy to do as it sounds. Once a child tells himself that he is afraid, that this fear is the reason for his failure, he clings tightly to this idea. You see the fear pro- vides a very good excuse for failure. The child is assured in his own mind that he is a 100 per cent good in the subject, only his fear stops him from showing the world his power. He would rather fail by not trying than take a chance on making an effort and failing. Fear has him coming and going. He has to get rid of the fear. First we must build up the child's health. Take nothing for granted about this but have the experts at the clinic examine him for physical causes of mental worry. Then treat him as ordered by the expert. Begin at the same time to give him the mental treat- ment he needs. Teach him to think courage. Teach him to keep in mind the three words, to meditate upon them dajly—courage, intelligence, endurance. He knows he is brave. Saying so strengthens his conviction. But he does not understand how to release his in- telligence. That is a matter of mystery to wisest, but by calling upon it, by releasing the body from the tension of fear, and this is done by thinking, courage, he succeeds in freeing his in- telligence from the weight of the fear, and it works. Endurance, is to be cultivated by simply holding on. From minute to minute the child in fear is to say, “I am brave. I will hold on until this passes. It is passing and 1 am free to do my work in the full power of my _intelligence.” Train a child to think this way, to controk himself this way, and you will put into his spirit something that is beyond price. Fear 1is the enemy of growth. It can be laid. leve it yourself and then teach that belief to the child.

R i DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX DEAR MISS DIX—I am a girl of 18, married to a boy 21. We have been mar- ried two months, but so far-have never lived together. I live at home with my parents and with his. He hasn't worked for some time but I have been working right along. We don't get along at all together, always fighting. Do you think it is because we are not living together? I have a nice home and hate to give it up, but would it ‘be right for me to do so and get a little home that I would have to support? Would I be starting our life out wrong by paying all the bills? DOT. Answer—1I thirk you would, Dot. I think no woman ever makes a greater mistake than when she assumes the whole support of the family, unless it is in a case of necessity when her husband is sick and unable to work. Then she should be proud and glad to take care of him, as he has taken care of her in their days of prosperity. But there is nothing else under the sun_so contemptible as a husky, able- bodied young man’ who sits down in idleness and lets his wife work to support him. There are plenty of these male parasites and the number increases yearly as women gajn greater skill and earning power in business and are able befter to provide for these lazy loafers who live upon them. Not long ago I read in a paper that it was estimated that there were in this country more than a million of these men—fathers and brothers and sons, as well as husbands, who were amply able to work and earn their own livings, but who sponged upon the ‘women in their families. I can well believe this because in a long lifetime spent among working women I am sure that at least three- fourths of them were being sapped of their earnings by some man whom they not only fed and clothed, but provided with money, It is a common thing for fathers to knock off work at middle age, as soon as their daughters get their working papers, though father is a hundred times stronger and more able to work®than a frail little 18-year-old gir] It is a still commoner thing for brothers to be so temperamental or dissipated that they cannot keep a job, and for sister to have to feed and clothe them and furnish them with tobacco and bottlegger money, and it is commonest of ail for wives not only to work and earn the bread, but to have to bake it for husbands to cat. Bo don't make the mistake. Dot, of joining the brigade of husband-support- ing wives. It I‘lll'm you nowhere except into a life of slavery, for when your husband finds out it you can make the living he will just sit back and let you do it. And don't thirk that he will Jove you and be grateful to you for doing it. He will not. He will hate you for it because your working shames his manhood. Instead of setting up the home and supporting it yourself, Dot, why not make youmwelf the prize that your husband will win by making a home for you? Tell him that you are willing to live plainly and humbly with him in any sort of a home, even if it is only one room, but that before you go to him he must show that he is man !m:ltfh to make a home for a wife. And if you don't get along with him now you will quarrel all the more bitterly when he is placed iff the false position of being dependent upon you. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1931.) Furnishings to Suit Bath Rooms BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘THE BENCH-HAMPER FULFILLS TWO PURPOSES. Never befcre were there so many at- tractive bath room fittings and furnish- ings as today, Not only are they deco- | rative, but they are planned to suit every sort of room, large or small. Color, of course, plays an important part, but it is rather of the variety of the things themselves that I wculd speak than of this feature, which is often sorely overdone. If the bath room is spacious there are large solled clothes hampers, big mir- rors, ample chairs, long and eminently substantial rods, bath room scales, etc. Everything is appropriate to accord with the size of the rcom. The good size bath room is a delight to a homemaker. It is possible, however, to have this room too big, and suggest a made-over bed room rather than a purposely plan- ned bath room. Then the task is to minimize the apparent size while per- mitting all the good elements of the ample room to remain. Where there are many bath rooms in dwelling some are sure to be small, and where an apartment is cram requiring the minimum space, yet pro- viding places within the drawers to keep clean towels, face cloths, soaps and salves, brusheg- and the many necessary articles that clutter up a bath room. By the way, the tiny round cakes of guest soaps in a variety of colors, each in its transparent paper wrapping, are gay bath room accessories. A hand- some container of bath salts makes an attractive ornament for the top of the set of drawers. Handsome sets of bot- tles, each with its special perfume, tollet water or lotion, are also made for such ornamental purposes. Beware of getting too much color Into a small room.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. %ois and Nancy were busily compar- ing notes. “I served delicious macaroni and cheese the other night,” said Nancy. “I had spaghetti with rich tomato sauce, and you should have seen Roger | eat and eat.” After such praise there was nothing to do but to share recipes. Here is the one which Lois gave Nancy: “I used one-half pound of spaghetti. In a large saucepan I had two quarts of water with two teaspoons salt. When this was boiling I managed to slide the spaghetti into the water without break- ing many of the slender pipe stems. I let the spaghetti cook in this bolling water for 25 minutes, or until the spa- ghetti was tender. Then I put it in the colander and let cold water run over it, just as you did when you prepared the macaroni. In the meantime I had been making the“sauce. It is rather in- tricate, but the flavor of inhe finished sauce is werth all the time and trouble. Take one can of tomatoes and drain the juice. Set aside the tomato pulp for future use. It is the juice which is ngeded in this sauce. Cut one clove of garlic into small pieces and saute in one-quarter cup olive oil until the garlic is golden brown. Do not let the oil get so hot that it smokes. Put one-quarter bay leaf, one-quarter teaspoon pepper corns in the tomato liquid and cook for 10 minutes. Strain. Strain the oil from the garlic and put the oil in with the tomato. Let this cook for five minutes. ‘Thicken this sauce slightly until it is of the consistency of cream. Pour over the hot spaghetti in the serving dish. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over mixture and pass more Parmesan cheese to each guest. If you do not want to thicken the juice you may heat the tomato pulp. Put it through a sieve so that you take out the seeds and add the to- mato puree to the juice. Even though peppercorns are used, count on adding more pepper and salt to the sauce. It should be hot and piquant.” MENU FOR A DAY.

The Woman Who Makes Good_ BY HELEN WOODWARD Who storted her career as a frightened typist and who became one of the highest paid business women in America. ‘What About Children. . Here's & problem for you: How is a woman going to go out to work all day long and take care of her children at the same time? When a woman makes pay she can hire fine nurses or send the chil- dren to expensive schools. the woman who makes very little money, nobody has solved' the problem in this country. Thousands of| married women) have to work. Their husbands g:n'tn nmmcnough - ive even e demge Mmoo Helen Woodward. And these women warmt children. What are they going to do about it? There are rich women with money on their hands, who want to be a help to the world. They could start kinder- gartens with nurses and food kitchen for these children. Of course in individual cases women have found the answer. There’s a young woman who lives with her mother. The mother takes care of her grandchildren. That's simple enough. But I know one woman who had no- body. She was divorced. She had no money at all, and she had a small child. Her job was as small as her pay. She did not know what to do, but knnl]y she found a room next door to very low-priced school where children could board during the day. She put i the child in the school and lived in the room next door.

Senator Gould of Maine, an ar- dent salmon fish- erman, took four guides of the Canadian woods to the White House to meet the Presi- dent. They wanted -.—_ to extend to him an invitation to come to New Brunswick and fish in the Miramachi and Restigouche rivers. The President greeted them in the ity of the ex- le White , House secretaries, The guides had brought moccasins for Mrs. Hoover, a miniature birch bark canoe, a silver mounted moose hoof for Mr. Hoover, and a quantity of moose meat for the White House table. After the introductions and presen- tation formalities were over, one of the guides produced a moose horn. “Now, Mr. President,” he sald, “I the Canadian woods.” The story goes that just as the blast was about to reverbrate through the stately executive offices, the Presi- dent reached for the horn and said something to the effect that he would be content merely to examine the in- strument. ‘The guide surrendered the horn to the presidential hands.

It is all an expression of sheer happi- ness. i Now shortly after the arrival of the Redshoulders some big cousins of theirs also arrive. They were White- tail the Marsh Hawk and Mrs. White- tail. They were just a little and only a little, smaller than the Redshoulders, but more slender and with narrower wings. Their tails were longer, too. They didn't visit the Green Forest, but spent all their time on or over the Green Meadows. They do not like trees, but fields and marshy places and open lands. Redshoulder was not particu- larly pleased when they arrived. With them hunting day after day there wouldn't be so many Mice for Mrs. Redshoulder and himself. Mrs. Whitetall was a little bigger than Mr. Whitetail. The day after they arrived Redshoulder happened to be sitting where he could look all over the Green Meadows.

He was turn- ing somersaults and cutting capers in the air for the very same reason that Peeper . the Hyla was singing_in the Smiling Pool and 'insome Bluebird was softly whistling from a fence post on_the edge of the Old Orchard.
