The square ‘is like a medal, both sides of which are shown at one time, thereby necessitating extra space as found in the double block. A pleasing | innovation is introduced in the sil- | houette of the man who led his coun- trymen on to victory. The profile silhouette, together with the dates, tell | the tale of long years of grateful re-| membrance and honored appreciation. The clusters of cherries above and be- low the dates lend their notes of whim- ®cal pleasantry, for they recall the thful incident of Washington and cherry tree, which is a bit of Amer- foan lore dear to all hearts. The dating of the Washington anni- versary quilt is of signal importance since the coverlet is designed to com- memorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington, the Father of Our Country. To accent this fea- ture two dates are essential—1732 and 1932. A quilt so dated will be valued and valuable in future generations. The commemorative block developed in ap- pligue has a quaint charm that does honor to the subject, and adds char- acter to the quilt. HE commemorative block in the | Washington anniversary quilt | THAT BODY OF YOURS BY JAMES W. BARTON, M. D. Various Causes of Asthma. OTWITHSTANDING all that has N been learned about asthma, there are still smany sufferers who have to take adrenalin or and have to watch their diet and other health habits in order to have a fair amount of freedom from attacks. The treatment of asthma is, of caurse, the Afirst consideration, but everything should be done to try to find the cause. The treatment during an _attack, as mentioned, s the injection of 10 or 15 drops of adrenalip_into the skin. Cold spong- ing with a rough towel is often help- ful. Placing the head under the bed clothes sometimes prevents an attack. We are told that regular exercise and stimulating the skin by electricity or by heavy massage are most helpful. Wherever possible, a cold bath or sponging should be given, as it stimulates the adrenal glands to pro- duce more adrenalin in the system. It is now generally admitted that cer- other drug during an attack | Dr. Barton. 1 This dating of quilts harks back to old quilt-making days. The collector of antique coverelets and the person who possesses cherished heirlooms of this handicraft delight in finding dates inscribed on patches. The figures not only definitely determine the period when a quilt was begun or was in the process of making, but it is also & key to the type of designs which prevailed at the time. These features are present in the Washington anniversary quilt, in which dates and designs combine to mark the era and the needlecraft. It is a quilt which for historic signifi- cance and intrinsic beauty appeals to the homemaker. An illustrated picture of the sil- | houette of George Washington, together with numerals and cherry cluster, all unite in full size for applique patterns, and including full directions and sug- gestions for color schemes and uses for the medallion block besides in quilts, can be had by sending 20 cents and & self-addressed =nd stamped envelope. ‘Nuw that the postage rates have in- | creased, it will be necessary to send | seven 3-cent stamps, if stamps are sent instead of coins. Also a self-addressed and stamped envelope must accompany requests directed to Lydia Le Baron Walker, care of this paper.

It is | felt that fats interfere with the proper | digestion of these foods. | This means that, in these particular individuals, meat, eggs, cereals or other | proteid foods should be eaten without the use of much fat cream, butter or fat meat during the same meal. Fat slows up or has an upsetting influence on the digestion of food in the stom- ach. The use of much starchy food, particularly with fats, should be avoided if food 15 eaten just before going to bed. That nasal obstruction is the main factor in some cases has been disputed by many research men, but the evi- dence is again accumulating to show that the clearing up of nose and throat conditions has cured many cases of asthma. Other cases of asthma have been found to be due to various kinds of dust, and when the patient was re- moved to another district, he became free of asthmatic attacks. The points to remember then, are, first, that adrenalin is still the best treatment during attacks, and second, every time an attack occurs the pa- tient should write down just what foods he has eaten that day and compare it with what he ate on_ the day he had a previous attack. This might locate the offending food. THE EVENING NATURE’S CHILDREN BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. When daisies pled, and violets blue. And lady-smocks all silver white, And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue, Do paint the meadows with delight. E loves me, he loves me not,” says the maiden as she crosses the meadow in June. Millions of daisies whiten the flelds and make them look as if there had been a belated snowstorm. Little girls make daisy chains and white-capped old ladies of the large daisies, Thousands of happy insects hum and boom across the sea of white, as they gather the golden dust spread so bountifully before them. How does it happen that this immi- grant from Europe and Asia has spread | her family throughout the Unfted States | and Canada? She came to this country | in freight ships or in hay used for [ packing. In Europe, where every inch of ground must bring a fair return, the daisy has a hard time Kkeeping her family from being wiped out. Once in | her adopted country. where so much | uncultivated land was to be had for the taking, she took possession with delight, and now her children may bg | seen from May until November along the roadsides, in the pastures and mea- | dows. The farmer, who hates her, sows | her seeds with the grass and what he | does not scatter the wind finishes. White flowers must treat guests well | in order that they may call again. Th(“ daisy house has long, parchment-like shingles. Twenty or thirty of them| surround the golden-disk flowers. Each | daisy is really a host within herself, | and the so-called white petal is a fe- male floret, who has grown a snowy | white corolia, in order the insect visi- | tors may see and come a calling. The golden center consists of hundreds of | tiny, tubular florets, huddled close to- gether in a pretty green cup. Inside of each tiny, yellow tube stand the sta-| mens. So closely are they packed, their | heads touch each other. The pistil | within the circle of stamens develors and pushes through them. On the tip| of the pistil are two little hair brushes, | and it is the duty to brush the pollen from the anthers and have it in a heap ready for the insect guest. An insect, crawling over the floret, will take the pollen with her to the next flower. After the pollen is gone, the pistil opens its two arms which have been held close together to prevent self- | fertilization. They become sticky and when another insect guest arrives with pollen on her coat, it is left behind on the sticky pistil. Look at the pistils in the white ray florets and you will see that they have no hair brushes on ther tips. There are no stamens and, of course, no pollen to be brushied out. | The leaves are oblong and coarsely toothed. They grow alcag the smooth, seldom-branched stem, which is often 3 feet high. The daisy is not a daisy at all, but a chrysanthemum. (Copyright, 1932.) STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MO lDorothyDix] ND now a French actress has been telling the world what she thinks about the American woman, and what she thinks is a-plenty. She says that the American woman is a cheater of the worst kind because she makes her husband pay with his last drop of blood thinking he is buying her love, and she gives him nothing. She says the American woman doesn't even know the meaning of the word “love,” and that is why the American man is noted in Europe as being the worst woman-chaser in the world and for being unfaithful to his wife. DAY, Attributes Criticism to Difference in Psychology Frenchwoman Indicts American Wife She says that American women are slave-drivers. That they are gold-diggers.- That they are icebergs. That all they want from their hus- bands is money, money, money. That they know nothing of the art of love. ¢ A MERICAN women,” says this discerning writer, “drive their men to work for them to get the things they went. If the woman next door has a new fur coat, a man doesn’t get a minute'’s peace until his own wife has one, too. The American husband wears himself out body and soul struggling to get together the dollars that his wife throws away on trifles. He comes to her weary and worn from the day's work; he would like to rest his head cn her breast like a tired child How he would love to shut the whoie world away and get a bit of heaven for a few hours!” But no. She cracks the whip and flogs hint on and, again I quote from this inspired writer, “the fire of love strikes stone and that stone is the -woman. . o My, my, my! Ead you any idea that the American woman was so cold and heartless and sea'yss and greedy as all that? Or that the American man was such a poor, downtrodden sap that he permitted himsel to be worked to death by one of the Gimme Sisters? ALL we can say is, lady, you've got us wrong. Faults we have to spare, and we are open to criticism on a thousand points, but the love life of Americans is the tenderest. warmest, most enduring that is found among any people, and in no other country in the world are there happier homes or more devoted husbands and wives. . Certainly it will surprise the millions of wives whose suns rise and set in their husbancs to be told that they do not love them. They haven't a thought that doesn't center around their Johns. John's pleasure, John's comfort, John's happiness and well-being motivate the world for them. There jsn't a service so menial they wouldn’t glory in performing for their husbands. There isn't a sacrifice that they haven't made a thousand times for their husbands so gladly that they didn't even know it was a sacrifice, And if this isn't love, it is & mighty good substitute for the real article, AS for the American man working himself to death to pay for his wife'’s finery, that is utter nonsense. There may be a few daughters of the Horse Leech crying more, more, more, scattered around here and there, but the great majority of womer are the family savings banks and penny- pinchers and are bending all of their energies toward helping their hus- bands to succeed and get a start in the world. And, nine times out of ten, when you see a middle-aged woman dolled up in Paris clothes and riding in a limousine it isn't blood money she has wrung out of her husbard that she is spending. It is the money she helped earn with her own labor. (Copyright, 1932.) JULY 18, 1932. WHO REMEMBERS? BY DICK MANSFIELD. Registered U. 8. Patent Office. ‘When J.

Thornton BEDTIME STORIES % Gorer Inky and Grusty Talk It Over. N_the shore of the pond of O little people regarded each other with mingled feelings. One was Inky, the black- Paddy the Beaver two funny coated young son of Jimmy Skunk. ‘The other was Grunty. the wandering | young son of Unc' Billy Possum. Both were now out in the Great World, with no one to watch over them or to tell them what to do and what not to do. Together they had just been through a great adventure. It just happened that Yowler the Bobcat, following the trail of Grunty, had surprised the two of them, but had failed to see Inky, very much to his sorrow. He had had eyes only for Grunty and had sprung right in front of Inky, making the “AH'LL SAY IT WAS!” REPLIED GRUNTY, latter think he was the one Yowler wanted. So in self-defense Inky had used the little scent gun he carries, and now, sadder and wiser, Yowler had sneaked away, his appetite and his self- Tespect lost. Grunty had thanked Inky for saving his life, for that is what Inky had done. However, until that minute Inky "t realized. He had acted for himself and not for Grunty. But there was no use in letting Grunty know this, “That is all right,” replied Inky. “It was a lucky thing for you that I happened to be right there.” “Al’ll say it was!” replied Grunty. “It must be wonderful never to have to be afraid. O Mother Nature cer- tnly was good to yo’ family when she ve yo'all that scent fo' to defend 8 yo'selves. It 1s powerfull Yes, suh, it cert'nly is powerfull Do yo' use it often?” “That is the first time I ever have used it,” replied Inky. “It is & rule in our family never to use it unless we feel obliged to, and that is only in case of an attack by some enemy. Any- way, that is what I was taught, and until tonight I mever have had Sasion o't 16, Mobody has been sby 7 enough to attack me before, and I guess that fellow will think twice before he tries it again.” “Ah guess he will,” grinned the young Possum. “Ah don’ suppose there is anybody in all the Great World yo' are afraid of.” Inky was just opening his mouth to | say boastfully that there wasn't when off in the distance Hooty the Great Horned Owl hooted. A little shiver ran over him. Ke looked at Grunty and he saw a little shiver of fear go over him. “I'm afraid of that fellow,” said he honestly. “I've never seen him. but every time I hear his voice I am afraid. My mother says that he is the one per- son in all the Green Forest who can stand this scent, and that, unless hiding, no Skunk is really safe when he is around. I hope he won't come this way tonight.” “Ah hope not,” replied Grunty in a voice that quavered just a little. “Seems like we-uns have enemies to watch fo’ on the ground without having to watch up in the air, too. Ah wish Ah had a scent gun like yo’ have.” “I wish I could climb a tree as you can and could hang on with my tail the way you can. It must be wonderful to })euable to climb,” said Inky & bit wist- ully. At this Grunty began to think better of himself. You know most people like to have things that others do not have, or be able to do things that others “It is handy sometimes,” . “Ah wouldn't be happy if Ah couldn't climb. It gets me out of danger sometimes. Yo' don’ have to climb to get away from yo' enemies. “When I looked &t you on the ground where yo' fell wh®n that Cat screeched I thought you were dead,” said Inky. “What was the matter with you?” “Did Ah fool yo' into thinking Ah was daid?” Grunty asked delightedly. “That is what Ah was trying to make that ol’ Cat think. That is one of the things Ah do best. If Ah looks to be daid no one pays much attention to me and by and hy Ah a chance to get away.” Inky looked at Grunty with some- dmiration. “So that is it!” thing like a he exclaimed. “Yes, suh, that’s it,” replied Grunty modestly. “Ah can’t scare ’em as yo' do, 80 Ah fools 'em.” (Copyright, 1932.)

BY EDITH | HREE meals a day has come to be a standard for the division of the food which we take. Every once in a while some one ad- | vances the theory that this is an artificial standard, that it is not natural to man and therefore not ideal. Have you ever heard any one hold forth on the subject of primitive man and his natural food habits? Because he ate /when he was hungry, the theory is advanced that A | we would be better for following this custom. Research into the habits cf primitive | man reveals that | he gorged himself whenever he could find food, because he was uncertain | when and where he could get his next B meal. As civiliza- ‘Hon developed and | food supplies be- | came more certain, | we find, however, | that the food of 1 | the day began to be divided into meals which cccurred at more or less regular periods. Now we find three meals th2 d | custom in this country. Experience has thown that babiss and | little children thrive better on a regu- | lar diet. Wise mothers are as careful about this as they are about the con- | tent of the meals. | As we grow older, however, we some- | times get away from the regular habits of childhood. Adolescent girls and boys are so much interested in other things that regularity is often irksome to | them. Boys are usually so hungry that they can eat heartily between meals and yet devour a full meal as well Girls, on the other hand, are less likely | to have good appetites and will oftea | omit meals unless they are watched | They rush off without breakfast. They | may or may not eat an adequate lunch |and are consequently so tired that they | have no appetite for dinner. They are, of course, anxious to stay thin to con- form with the standards of fashion, and for this reason it is often the more difficult to get them to eat enough food. This is the time when they are | particularly susceptible to anemia and to tuberculosis, 50 that it requires con- stant watchfulness upon the part of | the mother to guide them through this period.

After they are grown up, however, 1t | seems to me that men are more likely | to be careless about their eating habits than women.

Among my acquaintances are two men who are going througiWthe throes of what they call “indigestion.” One has a condition of hyperacidity, which was probably caused by irregular and unwise choice of food during a business career of the type which made it diffie cult to get regular meals. As he hime he snatched his food 0 hungry to go with= He is now in a con= ‘on chronic undernourishment, which must be corrected by careful and special diet The other man has eaten not wisely, but too well. He has been accustomed to eating a lunch which was really s dinner and to eat a meal :ymilar to the seme, although better type, in the eve- ning after he got home. He is now overweight and his system is clogged with toxins, which have accumulated because of too much food and too lit= tle exercise. To prevent the occurrence of such conditions, men and women alike should eat a light breakfast, including fruit; a comparatively light lunch, ine cluding vegetables and fruit. and a dine ner which will supply meat, fruit and vegetables. An egg should be supplied at one meal of the day and some milk should be taken also, either as a bever age or in a made dish Regular habits both as to content of meals and time of serving are good habits for the sake of health. | 3 Just think!
