MAGAZINE PAGE. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1934, Back Opening Is Smart Detail| Uncle Ray | M {HOSL\ '| | mlli li BY BARBARA BELL. UR pattern for an apron smock is sure to stimulate interest in sewing sugges- tions for Christmas. Every woman who loves a com- modious apron to slip into when she goes into the kitchen to prepare re- freshments or to get the Sunday night supper will enjoy owning this particular model. It can be made from a pattern that beginners will find easy to understand, and from which experienced sewers can make & garment in a few hours. Back openings are very smart in all types of clothes. And because they make us look youthful we like them very much. This detail is par- ticularly appreciated in smocks, for it makes for quick changes, A but- ton is at the neckline and a sash tie at the waist secures it in place with- out undue fussing. The skirt and sleeves assure protection by their smple cut. Two lengths are avail- able. The three-quarter one, with its spreading hem, gives a Russian silhouette which is smart and very arty looking, The full-length ver- sion appeals particularly to women who prefer smocks to house dresses.

The favorite ones of the hour are made in muted pastels or putty beiges. New offerings in cotton adapt themselves beautifully to the cause. Poplins, broadcloths, seersuckers and a sheer seersucker lawn make up pleasingly. Barbara Bell pattern No. 1524-B is designed in sizes 14, 16, 18, 20 and 40. Corresponding bust measures, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40. Size 16 (34) requires five yards of 36-inch material (ap- proximately). Use Windsor tie at neck. Every Barbara Bell pattern in- cludes an illustrated instruction guide which is easy to follow. BARBARA BELL, Washington Star. Inclose 25 cents in coins for Pattern No. 1524-B Size..avee Name . .

NE of the interesting things about Nature's children is the way some of them got their names. Here is a butterfly whose wings are so strangely marked, that it has been called the dog's head. There are very beautiful members of this family, found in California, and they are more clearly marked than those found in the Southern States, but & little study of the wings will show you the remark- able resemblance to a dog's head that the colors make. Whether you live in the South or even as far North as New York, New Hampshire, Wisconsin or Iowa, you may see one of these flyers that has become separated from its family, and settled in the North. Perhaps you will see instantly the profile of a poodle and have an op- unity to study the color pattern. In this butterfly you will see that the middle of the wing has a wide band of yellow against a black margin on either side and it is the yellow out- lines. that make the interesting sil- houette of the little poodle dog—side view only. You will notice that the black spot in the wing is in just the right position to serve as an eye, and the antennae carry out the idea of & few strangling whiskers, though they are usually red tipped. The females are not so brightly col- ored though they, too, have the dog's head silhouette. Members of this family in Califor- nia have wonderful pink and purple colors. This is not usual with the yellow and white tribes, of which it is & member. Further, the females Jolly Polly A Little Chat on English. BY JOS. J. FRISCH.

Their wings are a plain pale golden buff, marked only with the round black eye-spot near the center of each wing, and there is only a slight suggestion of a dark line edging the extreme margin. ‘There are said to be three broods each year and the youngsters are especially fond of clover, a thing that places them at once on the farmer's list of pests. Like their parents, they are sun 263 worshipers and love to bask in its warm rays. The mother places her eggs singly on the plant her offspring will draw upon for its food supply. They are cylindrical in shape and, after outgrowing several tight skins, they are fully grown in a few weeks and soon construct the strange, char- acteristic chrysalids. You may have seen them. The head projects in the shape of a cone, while the back is so concaved as to give & most un- usual side view. When the clover is again tender these little sleepers will emerge from their mummy-like cases, unfurl their wings and look about for mates. The whole story of last year is again re- peated. In the Southern States it is believed that one brood follows the other, as there is food for them the year around. The waiting period of all insects is for food, as is the case of our hibernating animals. That is the reason we have only one brood in the North, and this is seen in the Summer. The dog’s head tribe is a sociable lot. They are often seen together in such large numbers that they mak=~ a very lovely picture, when they alight en masse, in order to enjoy together & sip of dew. They are known to fly long distances in flocks. They always attract attention and it is most likely that this is how there came to be some members in the North, with close relatives in the South, The brimstones, clouded sulphurs, pinks, blacks and orange belong to this tribe.

IN A museum at Toluca, Mexico. is & fine example of an “upright -drum” which was used by Aztec In- dians long ago. It was made from & plece of a log. It is much higher than it is wide—the height being close to 5 feet. First the hard wood was hollowed out, and then skin from an animal was stretched across the top. The skin, held fast by wooden pegs, is still to be seen. Aztecs had other kinds of drums, some being shaped like bowls or ket- tles, with skin over the open side. They likewise made music, or noise, with rattles and bells. Some of them beat on turtle shells. The Incas of Peru were also fond of music. Inca artists made curious pictures of their musicians, show- ing them pounding drums and play- ing on crude flutes. Savage music is still to be heard. Some Indian tribes keep their old methods. The tom-tom beats in some countries of the Orient, having been held over from the ancient past; and a kind of wooden drum usually called a tom-tom, is a leading musical in- strument of Africa. The African tom-tom is a plece of log, partly hollowed inside, which has an open slit in the wood at one end. It may be only 6 inches thick and two feet long; but there are big. pow- erful African tom-toms as well. Some are 10 feet long and 3 feet thick. The natives send messages by beating these loglike drums. They have in- vented a signal system—a kind of “wireless telegraph.” African tribes also use drums more like those to which we give the name. There are clay and wooden bowls, with skin stretched over the open part, as well as hollowed sections of log with skin at the end. Some of the drums are rounded at the bottom, and look a great deal like the kettle drums in our orchestras. Our modern drums may not resem- ble pieces of tree trunk, but their his- tory goes back to hollow log drums. They are closed with skin or parch- ment. The bass drum makes a big boom, but we ask for more music than it can provide. The snare drum makes a rackety noise. Though it is now used in many orchestras, its chief place has been in the army, for sol- diers marching in step. The kettle- drum fits in better with orchestra har- mony than any other member of the drum family.

(Copyright, 1934.) Differences BY ANGELO PATRI “WHAT did you buy for lunch to- * " day, Simon?” “I had a sandwich and doughnuts and cake and a dill pickle.” “What kind of a sandwich?” “Hot dog.” “Now Simon. You know how care- ful I am of your food and you go and eat an unbalanced luncheon like that. Why didr’t you have some good soup and 3 salad and a plece of cake for your dessert?” “I don’t like soup and I get salad and soup at home all the time. I like & change. You never give me a dog and a pickle and I like them.” “They make you sick every time.” “I don't see why they should make me sick. Everybody eats them.” “You haven't everybody’s stomach. You have your own and it happens to be a cranky one. I'm not depriving you of anything that does you good. I'm trying to build your body and keep you from being sick.” “I always get lectured. Everybody else can do what they like, but I have to get a scolding about every little thing. I did think that when I got to high school I'd be let alone a little.” Mother sighed and said no more. At dinner that evening Simon nibbled his food. There was no pleasure in eating for him. Soon after leaving the table he went to his room. “What's the matter?” asked father when the boy had left the room. “Ate the wrong kind of lunch today and I expect that he is going to be sick. He can’t eat hot dogs and pickles and get away with it, but because some of the others can, he thinks he can.” ‘This is a common mistake of child- hod and adolescence. The herd in- stinct is strong in them and they feel they must do what everybody else does, wear the same clothes, eat the same food, play the same games. But na- ture has made them different, indi- vidual, unique, in some respect or other. One cannot eat certain foods, another cannot attend games without a sharp nervous reaction, another can- not lose an hour’s sleep without suf- fering the next day. Each feels that there is no reason for suffering such a handicap and each struggles to ig- nore it and be like everybody else. The result is often painful. We have to struggle to teach them to adjust themselves to their various differences and to rejoice in their in- dividualism. If they have a weakness they also have a strength, and the only thing to do is to cultivate the strength and protect the weakness and guard against its harmful effects. It is very difficult to teach children any such idea, but if they did not need us we should not be in parental or school relationship to them. We keep on pa- tiently teaching until they catch the Idea. This sort of teaching, like all other sorts, must have strong roots in child- hood. Adolescent children will experi- ment with forbidden things, but if they have been well set in childhood the right idea wins before long. “Evervbody” give way to “myself” and the individual begins to see his own way clear. Then he grows up. (Ounyright. 1034.) Cornmeal Mush. The best way to make cornmeal mush is to cook it in a double boiler, then no stirring is necessary. Use one cupful of dry cornmeal with four cupfuls of bolling salted water. Al- low the mush to heat slowly, cook- ing for half an hour or longer, or until thick enough. Just before serving as a cereal remove the top of the double boiler from the lower part and boil the mush for about three minutes. Serve with figs or dates, Crisp brown slices of fried mush are delicious served either as a vegetable with a meat, sauce or like waffies with sirup. Pumpkin Waffles Bift two cupfuls of flour, measure, and sift again with half a teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and four teaspoonfuls of baking pow- der. Combine one and one-fourth cupfuls of milk with two tablespoon- fuls of melted butter or substitute, and one cupful of cooked pumpkin; mix well; add the dry ingredients; add three well-beaten egg yolks; fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites; bake on s hot waffle iron; serve with butter and sirup, . Dorothy Dix Says Look at a Girl Who Has Everthing but What a Child Needs Most, You Mothers Who Mourn. HE papers have been full of the pathetic story of a poor little rich girl who has everything in the world except the things she wants most, and they are a real home and a real mother, and these her money wouldn’t buy her. ‘When you are only a kiddie, millions don’t mean much to you, but 8 home and a mother mean everything. You don’t want money, but you do want some place where you can strike your roots down into the very bricks and mortar and feel permanent and safe and secure. AND, most of all, you want love and tenderness. You want a mother's arms to enfold you, a mother’s breast to flee to in times of stress, and a mother’s lips to kiss your hurts and make them well. And none of these things had this forlorn little child had. ‘The story of this child should do a lot to comfort those mothers who are always grieving because they cannot give their children the expensive things that wealthy children have. It should make the poor mother realize that when she gives herself to her children, when she ministers to them with her own hands, and gives them a mother’s love and understanding, she has bestowed upon them the most precious thing in the world and something that no money can buy. I WISH there were some way of making women realize the value of motherhood, and that their personal care and attention are the greatest gifts they can possibly bestow upon their children, and that they are of far more value than costly playthings of fine clothes or sport cars. I wish that women could be made to appreciate that, short of actual want, the lack of money is a blessing and not a misfortune to children, because it gives them their mother’s daily and hourly com- panionship. Not all the philanthropies, nor all the students of child psychology have ever been able to devise a synthetic mother that is as good as the real thing. In the great baby hospitals where the sanitation is per- fect, and the scientific care and feeding of infants are flawless, the death rate is far greater than that among children in even poor and slovenly homes, where babies crawl over unswept floors to unsterilized mothers, who kiss them and fuss over them and chuck them under the chin and talk foolish baby talk to them. 'OR what a child needs most is love. With love it grows and flour- ishes like a plant in the sunshine. Without love it withers and dies or grows into some distorted shape. And no one but a mother can give this love to a creature that is often ugly and unattractive, that frequently has no charm or grace, and that calls for endless patience, endless service, endless sacrifices. ‘The child that is brought up by its mother has 10 times the chance to make a fine man or woman that the child has who is reared by tutors and governesses, even when the mother is not overly clever and the tutor and governess are highly qualified experts in their lines. For to the one it is only a task for which they are paid, but to the other it is a life work into which she puts her heart and soul. IT 1S a mother's hand that forms a child's character, for the things that motivate us as long as we live are those that we learned at our mother's knee. Mothers’ influence is paramount. It is the mothers who breed strength into their children and teach them not to be quitters, the mothers who found their children on rock-bottom principles, who turn out the men and women who keep the world going. It is the mothers who are on the job themselves, of rearing their children instead of turning it over to hirelings, that make the children of the poor turn out oftener an honor to their parents, than do the children of the rich. Let poor mothers remember that when they give themselves to their children, they have given them the greatest gift on earth. DOROTHY DIX. Who Are You? The Romance o.f Your Name BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS. ‘HIS surname had its origin in the national pastime of Old England —archery. This form of amusement gave rise to a great number of well- known surnames of today—Bowe! Bowman, Arrowsmith, Stringer and Butts. The progenitor of the Archer fam- ily is said to have been one Fulburt L'Archer, a Norman, who was estab- lished in England about the time of the Norman Congquest. There were several early settlers in the New England colony who bore the name of Archer. The first men- tioned was Samuel Archer, who was admitted a freeman in Salem, Mass., in 1634. John Archer was an inhab- itant of Stamford, Conn., in 1660; Henry Archer was living in Roxbury, Mass., in 1€39, and John Archer was a freeman in Portsmouth, R. I, in 1684. A record is found of one John Archer, who obtained a grant of land in Fordham, N. Y., in 1671. This John was a grandson of Humphrey Archer of County Warwick and was twelfth in descent from Fulburt Archer. It is to him that the coat of arms is Fletcher, | accredited. Bedtime Stories BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Danny Is a Hero. It 1s the unexpected test That marks the hero from the rest. —Old Mother Nature. LACK PUSSY THE CAT was having a good time. There was no doubt about that. She was having what she called fun and she was enjoying it. It mattered nothing to her that the poor little half-grown Meadow Mouse she was tormenting was suffering from terrible fright as well as from some hurts. To her it was fun to allow him almost to reach the safety of one of the shocks of corn down in Farmer Brown’s cornfleld and then at the very last instant pounce on him and toss him back out into the open. It would have been dreadful enough had she intended to let him go in the end, but she had no such intention; she meant to kill him and he knew it. Peeping out from s safe hiding place in one of the shocks of corn Nanny Meadow Mouse and her new friend, Mrs. Short-tail, whom she was visiting, watched the dreadful scene, for to them it was truly dread- ful. They knew that they would have been treated in just the same way had either of them been in the place of that poor little half-grown Mouse, and how they hated Black Pussy! “Why doesn'’t she kill him and put an end to it?” squeaked Nanny. “If ever I am unlucky enough to be caught by any of my enemies I hope it won’t be aecat,” said Mrs. Short-tail. “I would rather it should be any one else—Reddy Fox, Jimmy Skunk, Billy Mink, Shadow the Weasel or any of the Hawk or Owl families. With any of these it would be a quick ending. Oh, that poor little fellow! He almost got away that time and then at the very last instant that terrible creature grabbed him again. How can anybody enjoy torturing others? That is something I can’t understand at all.” “Nor me,” Nanny. “If that Cat had to hunt for & lv- ing, which she doesn’t, and at once killed those she caught, I wouldn’t have & word to say, for that is the law of life. They say that Shadow the Weasel kills just for the love of killing and that sometimes his cousin, Billy Mink, does, but these are the only ones I know who do, excepting Cats, and they are the only ones who torment those they catch. That poor little Mouse down there hasn’t a chance in the world. He may not known it, but I do. I have watched this sort of thing too many times to have any hope for him, I'm thank- ful that he isn't one of my children. “Oh, Jook! look! Is that fellow Just stupid or is he crazy?” “Danny! It .is . my Danny!” %ued Nanny in her always squeaky ce. 2 Sure enough it was Danny Mesdow » Mouse. He had come out from a shock of corn right into the open a little back of Black Pussy. She hadn’t yet seen him, but she would if she should turn her head. “Go back! Go back!” Nanny. Instead Danny ran forward a few steps. Then Nanny thought he must have indeed lost his senses. Slowly Black Pussy turned her head. She was pretending that she had forgotten that poor little Mouse. Danny moved just a wee bit. Instantly Black Pussy saw that movement and then her eyes opened wide. Another Mouse! It couldn’t be, but it was! She crouched and her tail began to twitch rapidly. Danny suddenly darted straight for the shock in which Nanny was visit- ing. Black Pussy sprang at him, missed and sprang again. “Run!” shrieked Nanny. Danny, run!” “Run!” squeaked Mrs. Short-tail. Danny did. So did the poor little half-grown mouse. By the skin of his teeth, as the saying is, Danny reached safety, and when Black Pussy realized this and turned for the young mouse she had been tormenting, he, too, had disappeared. And so Danny Meadow Mouse be- came a hero. (Copyright. 1934.) The Debunker BY JOHN HARVEY FURBAY, PH. D. BEES squeaked “Run, WH!:N bees buzz from flower to flower, they are not gathering honey.

A bee would have to make about 30,000 trips and gather nectar from approximately 3,000,000 blos- soms in order to produce one pound of honey. Since bees (workers) only live about six weeks, no one of them ever makes more than about one-tenth of a pound of honey in s lifetime. (Copyright. 1834.) a|ne - Contract BY P. HAL SIMS. Mr. Sims is universally acclaimed the greatest living contract and auction player. He was captain of the renowned “Four Horsemen” team, now disbanded, and has won 24 national champion- ships since 1924. These articles are based on the Sims system, which includes the onme-over-ome principle, which the Sims group of players was the first to employ and develop. Negative Double and Light Opening. F YOU have been reading my articles regularly, or irregularly, for that matter, you are probably well aware of the fact that I do not believe in opening in either first or second hand position with- out some sort of rebid in the hand. The honor strength necessary to open the bidding varies in inverse ratio to the aggressiveness of your hold- ings. A hand that is purely de- fensive normally requires about three and a half primary tricks before you dare make & bid. And my primary trick table does not include the valuation of queen-jack as half a trick. In this T differ from some other authorities. According to a differ- ent method of counting, the South hand in today's deal adds up to two and a half tricks, and is, there- fore, a perfectly good opening bid. The fact that South was not slaugh- tered is due to the fact that East was not using my negative double. Vulnerable, South picked up his cards and loudly bid one heart. West naturally made a trap pass; North passed and now East has the oppor- tunity of a lifetime. If he doubles West will pass and South will still be playing the hand. The set should be 1400. But East decided that his spades weren't good enough for him to double, under the theory that if you double one major, you should hold something in the other, so he bid one no-trump, East and West reached three no trumps without any difficulty, garnering 400 points. Three no trumps is in against any opening, but South’s lead choice of a small heart did not hurt the East hand at all. Moreover, what will happen if South, who should be very nervous at this point, redoubles for a rescue. The only thing that North can bid is two diamonds, and East will fall on that with wild whoops of joy. It may be pointed out that I would advocate opening the bidding on the South hand in third-hand position. It is true that on this particular hand South is bound to get into trouble if he opens his mouth, but I would never bid a heart on his holding. I would bid one club. Because of the distribution, East and West are not apt to double one club, but will prob- ably bid their game, despite the fact that North and South hold only six clubs between them. Tomorrow's Hand. A x-X-X ¥ 10-x ¢ A-10-x-X By bidding five clubs for a sacri- fice, South pushes his vulnerable opponents into five spades. How can the hand be made, and, if you go about the correct way of playing it in order to make it, how can the defense thwart your designs? (Copyright. 1934.)

E INCLUDE under this title all inflammations of the kidney. And there are many forms of disease of this organ, most of which can be described as inflammatory. All degenerations or inflammations of the kidney are classed as Bright's disease, because the condition was first clearly described and set forth by Dr. John Bright. The function of the kidney is to remove from the blood stream waste of protein character chiefly; and it is through the kidneys that such waste finds itself on the way out to the extent of 90 per cent. The other 10 per cent of the waste from protein finds wy, g, gay, M. D. its way out o) through the bowels; the skin and lungs taking no part in the elimini- nation of the debris from protein. This makes of the kidney our first line of defense against toxic states that result from an over-consumption of meats or other foods high in pro- tein, the so-called highly nitrogenous foods of which meat, eggs, fish and cheese are the chief items. Ninety per cent of the waste manu- factured from protein must find its way out through the kidneys or must Temain in the system as nitrogenous { debris, the most irritating and most destructive of all the debris resulting from food. 1t is quite generally true that over- | work is one of the chief causes of or- ganic breakdown. Consequently we expect to find our Bright's disease among the heavy users of meats or other of the concentrated forms of protein, as we do. It does not follow that every heavy user of these con- centrated forms of protein will even- tually break down with Bright's dis- ease, however, for many are born with kidneys of unusual resistance and great capacity. But it does mean that the kidneys of these free eaters of Today's Hay Diet Menu. BREAKFAST. Grapefrult (any amount de- sired). Milk or buttermilk. LUNCHEON. Cream of asparagus soup.

This means that as the body dies and gives up its chemicals for- merly constituting each cell, this waste is nitrogenous in character, just the same as if we had eaten wholly of meats, and our kidney capacity is equal to about 10 times such task. But when we reflect that the average habit of protein consumption embraces nearly 10 times the amount of protein necessary for rehabilitation, we see that we have imposed on an organ fully ample for all our reasonable needs in the matter of protein elimi- nation. Salt is an irritant to the kidneys. It also tends to remain in the body water, for which it has great affinity, thus favoring retention of dropsical water and making the elimination of this through the kidney quite difficult and incomplete. To cure any form of Bright's dis- ease is merely to stop causing it. This means to eat less meats, eggs, fish, cheese, and either no salt or but a very small amount, better none at all. At the same time keep the colon am- ply washed out every day, by means of the simple cool two-quart enema. If you have discontinued these well defined causes of Bright's disease you have covered every indication for the treatment. And if you will make the diet very vital by use of the raw, un- processed and uncooked foods, you will very greatly hasten recovery. Exercise is not for the nephritic, at least not till enough of the protein debris has been eliminated to permit of normal circulation and normal oxi- dation of the blood, for exercise great- ly increases the waste, of course. Rice and Nut Loaf. Wash half a cupful of rice thor- oughly until the water is clear. Have ready one quart of boiling water with one teaspoonful of salt added. Add the rice slowly and let it boil briskly, stirring with a fork occasionally until the kernels are soft. Test by rubbing a kernel between the thumb and finger. Drain, rinse with boiling water, then drain again. The kernels should be swollen to four times their original bulk and should be unbroken. Mix the rice with one cupful of chopped pecan meats and one cup- ful of carrot cubes which have been parboiled for ten minutes. Add two eggs and salt, pepper and celery salt to taste, using a fork to mix; pack in a well-greased bread pan. Cover the top with buttered crumbs and bake for half an hour in & moderate oven.
