MAGAZINE PAGE. Attractive Uses for Scarf FY MARY MARSHALL. OMEWHERE in your piece box you will find a piece of material Just the thing to make a scarf of sort shown in today's sketch, or you may come upon 8 piece of silk or fine woolen material at a remnant sale one of these days that ‘will give you the necessary material. ‘You will need a strip about 45 inches long and about 18 inches wide. It is best to have it all in one, but it may be pieced in the center of the back. Bew the edges of the material together along the sides at either end for a dis- tance of 10 or 12 inches to make the deep cuffs of the sleeve portions. 'Then in the center at one side—the at the front to hold the scarf together. Made from soft silk or fine woolen material such as French flannel or cashmere & scarf of this sort would make a most convenient bed jacket, to wear on cold nights if you like or to give necessary warmth when you read or breakfast in bed. Made of a deeper color or a figured print, it will make an attractive house jacket to wear when you sew or write on & chilly morning. If you like to knit, you can make & similar sort of scarf jacket from woolen yarmn. Use two needles and cast on enough stitches to make a scarf about 18 inches wide—the number will de- pend on the thickness of the yarn and the size of the needles. And then knit in plain garter stitch until you have a scarf about a yard and s quarter long. If you like, you can knit in ribbed stitches for about 12 inches at either end. This is done by knitting two, purling two—as you would for the cuff: or hip band of a sweater. (Copyright, 1932.) DAILY DIET RECIPE FLUFFY TURNIP.

Pimples on the Arms. i Dear Miss Leeds: My arms are red. with little pimples under the skin of the upper arms. I am very sensitive about them and always wear long sleeves. Is this a mistake? How can I have smooth arms? SHIRLEY. Answer—It is not difficult to get rid of the little pimples. Their presence shows that your skin needs stimulation. Every night at bedtime scrub the skin well with soap and warm water, using | a bath brush or vegetable sponge. Rinse Massage with a little cold cream or olive oil. In the morning take a cold or tepid spunge bath, fol- lowed by a brisk rubdown with a turkish towel, giving particular attention to the rough skin. Once a week Tub your arms with a rand-soap in paste form, such as is sold for cleansing the hands, Don't cep vour arms covered all the time. he skin benefits. by fresh air and sun- shine. Mild sunburn is heipful in cur- ing pimples. 1018 LEEDS. Premature Graying. Dear Miss Leeds: How can I hair turning prematurely gray? 21 years old. A Answer—<Have a thorough physical examination by a doctor to see if the premature graying may be due to some form of ill health. If you are physically in good condition and do not indulge in the worry habit, the chances are that the graying is inherited and cannot be prevented. Suitable Iocal treatments may help check the fading to some ex- tent, hewever. Correct dandruff, ex- cessive oiliness or dryness. Massage the scalp daily, shampoo at regular in- tervals. There are darkening rinses one may buy at beauty shops to make the gray hairs inconspicuous. I shall be glad to mail you my leaflet describing various rinses if you will send a stamped, addressed envelope for it. But remem- ber that the few faded hairs that are giving you so mutnh;onni;rn are less ble than you agine. noticeal agme L (Copyright, 1932.) my am B. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Soul of Psychology. What is the one thing that consti- tutes the central point in the unwrit- ten history of psychology? It is the soul. And from that something psychoh ogy takes its name. Back in the distant past men were | jealous of two worlds instead of one. They wanted to know what became of them after death. Death is the moth- er of psychology. Specifically, the questions were: What is the nature of my soul? Where does it go after 1 have departed this life? If & man dies, shall he live again? These questions, ever asked and never answeréd, have gone thundering down the paths of the centuries, creating one religion after another, one philosophy after another. Psychology, despite repeated attempts to do so, has never been able to throw these questions aside. They are human questions, profoundly affecting in subtle ways the conduct of men. And peychol- ogy, whatever else it may be, is the science of human conduct. 1f you read the history of psychology vou will run across chapters with head- ings like these: Immortality, ghosts, thought-transference, telepathy, spir- itism, astrology, black magie, metem- psychosis, mesmerism, pantheism, mys- ticlsm, palmistry, graphology, soot saying, chiromancy, and so on. Thow are the names for the something-noth- ings that may be said to have some re- lation to the original soul idex. These are the superstitions that have marked the advances of psychology from the darkness of speculation to the dawning day of verifiable knowledge. But thers are many shadows yet. Stockings Made From Air. A silklike fabric Which Nas been shaped up into stockings, has been made from air, but the catch in it is that the material disappears when placed in the wasn. This unfortunate feature will in all bility be over- come by future investigation. This wonderful achievement has béen done by Wallace Carothers, an Englishman, who has discovered that about 20 sub- stances can be extracted from the air, each of which can be turned into material very like floss silk in sppear- ance. A synthetic cloth has even | evolved by treating varlous acids drawn from the air with a waste product of ordinary petrol.

Dorothy had received & new chair for Valentine’s Day. It was a low, easy one upholstered in rep. Almost of its own accord it gravitated to a spot beside the windows. A small table and lamp found a resting place near it. As Dorothy sat there she gave the curtalns the first éritical look they had had in some time. The ruffles were bedraggled. The windows were narTow so pulling the curtains back. did not help much. ‘The next day Nancy came over. Dorothy put the question up to her.— “How, ¢af.I make these windows seem more important and more in keeping with my nice, new present?” Nancy had a number of suggestions. “FlIrst get new curtains. We will choose y tried But that s figured material since your walls, carpet. and chair are in plain color. Then we will let the shades or window blinds go clear up to the top. And the draperies will hang clear to the floor. Between the windows we will put a pleee of mirror glass. Have it plain, extending from top to bottom of window frames. The little silhouettes will go down and out.” And when the man comes to put up the window poles have him place them beyond the window frames at the sides of the windows. Then the draperies will come just in far enough to concss\ the frame. That gives us a whole addi- tional pane of glass. With the min-orf straight hangings and absence o shades we have made the window spaces seem much larger. — Paradise for Shoppers. For centuries the center of Japan's arts and crafts, Kyoto, the ancient cap- ital, has never relinquished its leader- ship in the creation of things beautiful. Here, in tiny shops handed down from father to son, the secrets of the craft are jealously guarded as nimble fingers turn out the beautiful cloisonnes, the Bozes and trays and cases of damascene and lacquer, the inimitable swords whoge blades surpass those of Damas- cus, the bronzes in varlous sizes and shapes—from the huge more man-high lantern to the delicate silver bronze match box—the dainty Satsuma and Awata ware—Kyoto is thé shop- pet's Paradise. e Irish Islanders in Talkie.

BUSIER little neighbor and friend would be hard to find than the song sparrow as he flits_over the branches of the weeds. Millions of seeds are consumed by these songsters, and as for cutworms, plant lice, ground beetles, caterpillars and grasshoppers, they are in_the billions, and we have lost count. You will find this little friend sitting on the topmost branch of a shrub in your garden when about to serenade you. If something should happen to annoy him, he does not fly away as other birds do; he dives low and, with a sort of fllp of his tail, says, “Ill not be found for some time. ‘The singer is dressed llke all spar- rows. The head is a dark brown, with a line of gray along the center of the crown and above each eye. There is a dark streak though the eyve. The back is a dark brown with streaks of a still darker brown. The throat is white with a dark spot on either side. has a very white breast, in the very center is a large brown spot, and other £mall brown spots are scattered over the breast. It is the center spot which is his identifying field mark. The tall and wings are brown. The tall is long and rounded and able to convey the sentiments of its owner. His song is sweet and may be heard at any time of the year. He has a little habit of singing in the night, and he cheers with his happy way of sing- ing close to your home. He is not shy and loves to be near you when he gives one of his concerts. The nest is made of weeds and grasses, and lined with hair when it can be obtained. Otherwise, very fine grass is {used. The nest is deep and placed se- curely to the twig of the tree, not over five feet from the ground. The eggs are tinged with blue and have a whitish ground color. They are usually so blotched with brown that they are not easily seen. In May the mating takes place, and there are four broods a year. A new nest is built for each new group. You can see why the little singer and his wife are always In a hurry. Yet with all his family cares, he never lets them prevent him from singing his very loudest and sweetest as he flles about or rests beside the porch. ‘When his spouse has assured herself there are no enemies about, she places her nest on the ground.

Robber calied together the oldest and wisest of the Rats and they taked the matter over. All knew what was hap- pening, yet not one had an explanation. They were sure that Billy Mink had not returned to the barn and that his cousin, Shadow the Weasel, was no- where around. They would have known it had they been there, for it was the way of Billy and Shadow to follow them into their homes. Besides they left the bodies of those they killed. So far not a single dead Rat had been found. Those that had disappeared were in the best of health. They went out and just never came back. “J have noticed,” saild one old Rat, “that those disappearances have been early in the evening or early in the morning just before it gets really light.” Robber nodded his gray old head. “I've noticed the same thing.” said he have “that it was those who have gone out- :“m"ek the barh who have never come s, Dotk nosded inst mpses TROUGH 8Y JOKESTERS, BUT HAD THE LASY LAUGH WHEN THEY HELD UP PRODUCTION BEDTIME STORIES IOR a long time Robber the Rat, | his children and grandchildren, ave noticed, too,” said another, | A—11" UNCLE RAY’S CORNER boys and girls who are now too young to read or un= derstand the Corner.
