c—6 w OMAN'S PAGE. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1931 *In Summertime clothes need fresh alr more than at any other season keep them in best condition. It is mportant, therefore, to give them good sun and air baths. It keeps them A BREATH OF FRESH AIR LINGERS IN GARMENTS SO AIRED. sweet. If the goods is likely to fade, the sun bath can be omitted and just the air be allowed to circulate freely through the textiles. Sun and pure air are two of the greatest purifying agents, so it is not without reason that garments benefit from being out BEDTIME STORIES i Flip Shows His Speed. To boast is foolish and may lead To things embarrassing, indeed. —Flip the Terrier. Flip hasn't always felt that way about the matter, or else he has for- gotten at times. But, then, a whole lot of people say wise things and then fail to live up to their own wisdom. Flip was enjoying his stay at the ranch, where he and Farmer Brown's Boy were staying with Cousin Tom. There were three other dogs there. They had re- ceived Flip without what you might call enthusiasm, but with stiff-legged talerance. They were coldly polite, and cold politeness is one of the chilliest things I know of. Flip, on his part, had been his usual friendly happy-go-lucky self. So after a suitable period they accepted him as one of them. Now, these other d had always lived on the ranch, while Flip had, as you know, first lived in a city of the East and then, wandering out into the country and getting lost, had been taken in and cared for by Farmer Brown's Boy. With the latter and Cousin Tom he had journeyed across country in an airplane, and now here ke was among strangers in a strange country. Having seen so much of the Great,_World, it was perhaps natural that Flip should be a bit conceited and do a little boasting. He told of his ad- ventures on the Green Meadows and in the Green Forest at home and on the Dry Desert, from which he had just come, though he took care not to men- tion the fact that he had been lost on the Desert and nearly lost his life there. He boasted of what he had seen, of his courage and of how he' could run, and he really didn't mean to boast at all. He was merely trying to make an impression on these new {friends. The other dogs listened gravely, though now and then one would sol- emnly wink at the others. They liked this lively little fellow with his stub tall and friendly manner, but they felt thet he was a little too self-important. He had just a little too good an opinion | started straight for Flip. It was all so of himself. He needed to be taken down. as the expression is. Early one morning Speedfoot the Coyote was discovered near the ranch buildings. The three Dogs knew Speedfoot and all about him, just as he know all about them. They knew that they might just-as well try to catch the wind as to try to catch him, and they knew that he never would think of stopping to fight them, for they were all of good size and of fight- ing stock. They also knew just how clever and smart he was. “I wonder,” said one of them to Flip, “just how fast you can run. That fel- Jow out there is too fast for any of us, but if you are as fast as you say you sre you mignt b2 able to catch him. He is a nuisanve and ought to be driven away. Suppose you go after him—that is. unless vou are afraid.” “Afraid!" barked Flip. “Me afraid of that fellow! I'll show you. I'll show you what running is, and you won't I Alec the Great I A tale of ghosts and goblins Makes my whiskers creep, And has a way of making me Lose a lot of sleep. o KEEP YOUR SKIN < AFRESH~FAIR ALL SUMMER LONG ln‘. easy to prevent freckles and #an . .. to have fair, satin-smooth complexion when you protect it with Plough’s Peroxide (Vanishing) + Cream, theideal powder bass!

If there is a prolonged dry spell hang the garments in the bath room when the tub is steaming from hot water ir. it. Or hln{ the things in the kitchen while a kettle is boiling vigorously and the steam makes the air moist. If the sun refuses to shine, so that garments slightly damp from out-of-door or indoor moisture, cannot be dried by it, they will have to let dry-heat in rooms suffice, until & sunny day comes, when they should be hung out in it. Damp garments should not be hung in closets. In order for the clothes to keep in correct lines, they should be on gar- ment hangers. Put the hook on the line and secure it with a clothespin. Be sure that the garment cannot slip from the hanger. Sometimes hangers are covered with velvet to which tex- tiles naturally cling. Or elastic bands may be wound around the arms of the hanger near the ends for a like effect. If the wind is blowing, and it is nice to have it blow through the clothes, the garments may have t> be fastened with safety pins to ths hangers, and cords tie the hanger to the clothesline to further secure it from falling off.

He was excited by the chase, and he was excited by the chance to show off. At first he barked, but he soon found that he couldn’t waste his breath that way. This fellow could run. There was no doubt about that. Yes, sir; he could run. Flip couldn’t see that he. was gaining much, and the funny thing was that this fellow didn't seem to be making much effort. Away across the prairies Speedfoot led Flip, and Flip be- SO AWAY DASHED FLIP, AND AT ONCE SPEEDFOOT TURNED TAIL. gan to gain. He didn't once suspect that Speedfoot was letting him do this. Then, when they were far enough from the other dogs for no interference from them, a funny thing happened. Speedfoot stopped, turned, raised the hair along his back and shoulders, drew back his lips so that all his teeth showed, and with one of the ugliest snarls Flip had heard in all his life sudden, so unexpected, and that Coyote looked so dreadfully savage that Flip put the brakes on in & hurry. He sud- denly felt very small. He hadn't sup- posed that this fellow had such teeth. He didn't like the look in his eyes. Be- fore he realized what he was doing Flip turned and started for the ranch. If he had run fast before, he quite outdid himself now, for Speedfoot was right at his heels, and it seemed to Flip that he never had heard such ugly snarls. “‘You really can run,” said the oldest dog gravely as Flip dashed in among them.

Lois and Nancy had both proved the falsity of the statement that a mother Tiad to lose a teoth for every child. Each one of them had visited the dentist both before and after the advent of Ann and Petef. This Summer Nancy had frequent appointments with her dentist. He was keeping a close watch on her teeth. She asked him one day why that grandmother's proverb cf a tooth for a child had gained such currency.. 5 h need constant replenishment of lime to keep firm and free from decay. With a normal diet there is suf- ficlent lime to keep the teeth in con- dition, other things being equal. But when double demands are made upcn the lime supply, and when the diet, be- cause of capriciousness 1s often too lacking in calcium or lime, then the supply is diverted from the mother’s teeth to more obvious needs. As a re- sult the teeth begin to decay. “But by watching the diet, keeping plenty of green vegetables and milk in the diet there should be little trouble. I advise every person to observe & little more care in the use of a tooth brush, too,” he went on. “I said a t-oth brush, but I really should have put that in the plural. I advise every person to use two tooth brushes. One has a chance to dry out thoroughly if two brushes are used in rotation. This is especially advisable in the hot muggy days of Summer, when everything is in- clined to stay damp for long periods | of time.

Bethel, Gilgal and Mizpeh have long since disappeared from the map. No geographical engineer could now trace the circult over which Samuel went from year to year, ministering to the people of Israel.

The places Samuel visited and the roads along which he traveled have bsen wiped out, but the record he made on those yearly rounds has not been wiped out. ‘That record still abides and constitutes one yet tendin; may display can be faithful without fame. | be winsome without wealth. be kingly without being Kings. dim. all time.

He was not so brilliant as gome others, but God never had a truer, braver or more faithful servant. He never tried to make any great show but he made his name synonymous wit! all that is good, honorable and noble. From year to year he went on his rounds, never playing to the grand stand, but always playing his par faithfully serving the people, correcting abuses, righting wrongs, teaching right- eousness and exemplifying in his own life the righteousness he taught.
