MAGA B—6 ZINE PAGE. Material in Diminutive Design BY BARBARA BELL. IFT suggestions for Christmas invariably include pretty frocks for the holidty season, if there are children on your list. Our little model in the sketch has a party-like air of gayety. And because it can be made from four simple pattern pieces (including the | panties) we recommend it highly to those who incline toward gifts that are | uesful. | ‘The smooth shoulder line, that is so | easy to make because it does not have to be fitted, is carried out in a combi- nation of sleeve and yoke, cut in one piece. Attached to it are the back and | front, shaped interestingly in points at the center. Contrasting material is used very often. When it is, a lighter material is preferred for the sleeve sec- tions. The edges are bound in scallops and the neck with the same. ‘The skirt and panties in a print are preferably of one of the new cottons specially made for children’s clothes. They come in diminutive designs. And the colors are suitably delicate for fair young skins. ‘When the dress is all of one mate- rial, a dotted swiss, or dimity, organdy, | used. | The latest ones include pink, blue, Nile green, tearose, faint, heliotrope, gera- | fine gingham, chiffon seersucker, handkerchief linen or a lawn may be Colors are lovely this season. nium and red. All-over embroidery, |in delicate designs, is being used ex- | | tensively to give party-like quality to | holiday frocks. These dainty sheers come in faint pastels and in white. The panties, when these are used, must be of linen or fine nainsook. Babraba, Bell Pattern No. 1529-B is designed in sizes 2, 4 and 6.

It cannot boast of a lovely figure, because it lacks symmetry. Yet its exquisite flowers and glossy leaves make it one of our most attractive native mag- nolias. Its favorite range is on the banks of the Susquehanna, in Southern Pennsylvania, and southward along the Atlantic slope to Southern Ala- bama, then westward to Arkansas. Its hardiness has endeared it to New Eng- landers, where very lovely specimens may be seen. Swamps and streams, where the soil along their borders is rich and moist, are ideal places to look for the um- brella tree, for here it finds everything 1t wishes. Yet the offspring from these water lovers will flourish in rich so0il on your lawn or garden. ‘The usual height the umbrella tree attains is from 30 to 40 feet. It has rather a round top, and its stout, con- torted branches and twigs give it the irregular outline. The bark is gray and smooth, thin, and decorated with bristly warts. The wood is pale brown, weak, soft and close, while the sap wood is yellow. The buds found on the terminal twigs are purplish, with a pale bloom. ‘They are about 1 inch long and point- ed. The lateral buds are round, short and a brownish red. ‘The leaves are from 16 to 20 inches long and they taper to a narrow point, as they reach the stout stem. Their upper surface is a bright green, their under one a shade lighter. The white flowers are like exquisite {vory cups, a startling contrast in| color with their background of leaves. | ‘The flower, in spite of its beauty, The Debunker BY JOHN HARVEY FURBAY, Ph.D. CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS DID NOT DISCOVER NORTH AMERICA H!STOEIANS are quite agreed that the North American continent was discovered by John Cabot and his son Sebastian June 24, 1497. Columbus discovered the South American conti- nent nearly a year later, in 1498— having found only some islands off the South American coast in 1492.

The umbrella tree has no commer- | cial value as timber, but it is one of the most satisfactory trees of its type for planting in landscaping. The whole tree suggests an umbrella, with its whorl of leaves that clothe the tree like a thatched roof. The twigs have the unusual habit of striking out at right angles from an erect branch. Then each grows straight up with the branch from which it grew. The fork- ing of cach twig that bears a lovely flower results in causing angular out- lines, which destroy the symmetry of the tree as a whole. In Spring, when the umbrella tree is putting forth its young shoots, ex- amine them and see how beautifully they are covered with soft, silky hairs. You must watch for them, for they grow fast and shed their little hairycoat in a few days. Later look at the recurved sepals, the most interesting part of the flower. In the Autumn gather a few of the seeds and plant them in a pot. They are ambitious little seed- babies, if you give them moisture and rich soil in which to grow. (Copyright, 1034.)

I HAVE often wondered why some people are so very cautious about the verity of their recollections. They fortify themselves against possible er- ror by adding, “If my memory serves me,” “If I recall correctly,” “If I am not mistaken,” or some similar expres- sion, I notice that these are, as a rule, the most truthful of persons. There is a reason for the added precautions that truthful people take in relating what they suppose is the truth. Any one’s memory is the most unreliable of all his mental powers. Naturally so, for any recollection is a composite of many mental processes. I believe it is no exaggeration to say that our powers to recall are actually treacher- ous. Especially is this so for recollec- tions of times, places, faces and names. ‘There can be no doubt that one’s emo- tional or feeling life has a great deal to do with the “whats” of a recollec- tion, and with the relative prominence of these “whats” among all the facts that might have been recalled. The most faulty recollections are those that are made after some excit- ing event. When the individual begins to put separate items together in the form of a recollection, his feelings about the whole situation enter into the story. He fills out the gaps in his actual observation by emotional “ought to have beens.” The filling-in brings the non-essentials into promi- nence, and non-essentials promote errors. (Copyright. 1934.)

EAR MISS DIX—I am very much in love with a girl who is about as perfect as any girl could be. I have been engaged to her, but I have broken it off because I have had such a fear of marriage instilled in me lately by different friends that I dare not risk it. Virtually all of my men friends have been married from one to five years and they warp me not even to think of giving up being single. They say that everything is perfect before mar- riage, but afterward it all changes and everything is wrong. Marriages of some of these fellows have gone completely on the rocks, and they are either separated or divorced from their wives. I feel that a home with a wife and family of my own would be a wonderful thing, yet the experience of my friends makes me afraid to try it. What do you think? 3 ANSWER: T think you are a coward to let your friends panic you with their dismal croakings about marriage. Suppose they did fail to make a go of it. That is no indication that you will. Of course, there is a risk in marriage. So there is in everything else in life. You have to have enough backbone to take a chance, It you never do anything that some one warns you against doing, you will have to sit down on the do-nothing stool the remainder of your life. There are failures in every line of human endeavor. There are ministers who can never keep a pulpit. Doctors who have no patients. Lawyers who never have a client. Clerks who are always out of a job. Merchants, bankers, brokers who go bankrupt. VERY one of them would warn you against following his occupa- tion and tell you there is nothing in it, but would you let yourself be kept from doing any kind of work because some other man had failed in it? Not at all. You would look around and see hundreds of men who were successful along those lines and who had made fame and fortune, and you would roll up your sleeves and jump in and show them that it was the man and not the job that counts. Well, that is just the way it is about marriage. It is no sure thing, but it is & good sporting proposition, and how it turns out depends altogether on the individual man and woman who go into it. They can make it an earthly paradise or a hell, whichever they choose, and what other people have done has no bearing on their individual proposition. It is up to them. PERHAPS you are a better picker than your friends. Perhaps you have used more judgment in selecting a wife than they did. Perhaps they married girls who were silly and frivolous and extravagant and ‘who were not willing to settle down into being good, industrious, ecoe nomical housewives and helpmeets. ‘That kind of marriage would be a foredoomed failure, because such wives run their husbands into debt. They drag them out to parties when they are worn out and tired at night. They poison them on bad cooking and they are dissatisfied because they can’t have all that rich women have and spend their time going out to places of amusement. PERHAPS your friends’ marriages were failures because they them- selves were not willing to pay the price of matrimony. They wanted to run out at night with the boys, and have little affairs with pretty girls, and they begrudged spending their money on keeping up a home instead of having it to play poker. Perhaps they drank too much and philandered too much. You couldn't expect that sort of marriage to be happy, because no woman wants that kind of husband. But, if you have picked out a sensible girl, who is willing to do her part in making a home and making marriage a success, and if you are willing to do your part toward keeping the home fires burning, there is no reason that your marriage should not be a success. Don't be afraid to try it. The pessimists who cry out that marriage is a failure are those who have never really tried to make it a success. DOROTHY DIX. * * k% DEAR DOROTHY DIX—We are four young married couples living in the same apartment house. The other evening our husbands came home with your very excellent list for keeping a husband. Now tell us what & husband must do to make his wife happy. It certainly must be a game that two can play, FOUR YOUNG WIVES. Answer: If a man wants to make his wife happy, he should, first of all, be a square shooter. He should not throw away the bait with which he caught his fish any more than his wife should. Women are even more sensitive to appearance than men are, and no wife can be romantic about a man with a three-day beard on his face and hair that hangs over his collar and who sits around the house in his stocking feet. DON'T drop your courtship at the altar. Before marriage your wife had many men to flatter her and tell her how beautiful and wonderful she was. Now she has only you, 50 you have to pinch-hit for all the old boy friends. Do your part toward making the home happy. Be a little ray of sunshine in it. Don't expect your wife to do all the smiling. Don’t marry until you are ready to settle down and spend your evenings at your own fireside. A woman wants a companion in a husband, not a transient boarder. See to it that your wife has plenty of work and plenty of amusement. Idle women get into mischief, and those whose husbands never take them out for a good time grow dull and disguntled. GIVE your wife & definite allowance to run the house, and for her individual use, and never ask her what she does with it. Giving a wife money once a month instead of doling it out to her every morning saves 30 quarrels a month. Besides, every wife earns more than her board and keep by her labor. Don't begrude the price of marriage. You knew it was a luxury that would come high when you married, so don't get sour and peevish and blame your wife when the money you used to spend on fine clothes and golf and opening wine for chorus girls has to go for rent and groceries and the baby's milk. Finally, take marriage on the chin. Céme up smiling after each knockout blow and you will win in the end. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1034.) Bedtime Stories BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.

ANNY MEADOW MOUSE de- clared that the new home in & corner of Farmer Brown's cornfield to which Nanny Meadow Mouse had led him was perfect. That is just what he said. “It is perfect, my dear; simply per- fect.” “I'm glad you think se.” replied Nanny. “I think it is pretty nearly perfect myself. “It is perfect,” declared Danny. Nanny shook her head. “Not quite,” sald she. “You must admit that if Shadow the Weasel should find it he could enter through that doorway.” “That is true,” admitted Danny, re- luctantly. “But then,” he added brightly, “wherever we can go he can follow and it would be almost, if not quite, impossible to have a doorway big enough for us, yet too small for him. So I think we may call this a perfect home just the same. How- ever did you find it?” “Oh, I was just looking around,” replied Nanny. “You know I told you from the start that I didn't like so many near neighbors as we had over in the cornfield. So I thought I would look around just outside where we would be near enough to get all the corn we wanted, yet not be where we would be likely to be caught by enemies looking for our neighbors. When I found this I knew it was just what we wanted. Now that all the Snake family have gone to sleep for the Winter, Shadow the Weasel is the only one of all our enemies who can get at us in here, and we will just hope that he won't find out where we are lving. “He won't,” declared Danny confi- dently. “He will have so many to hunt over there in those corn-shock apartments that he won't think of hunting elsewhere. I hate to think of what has happened and may hap- pen back there.” He shivered and 50 did Nanny. ‘The new home, from a Mouse view- point, was as nearly perfect as it very well could be. It was a fair-sized jug that had been tipped over and left by Farmer Brown's Boy in a corner of the cornfleld the last time he had been there to hoe in the Summer. The remains of an old scarecrow had been thrown over it, and it had been for- gotten. Inside there was plenty of room for a nice nest of corn husks, grass and bits of cloth from the old coat of the scarecrow; also to store some corn. As Nanny had point- ed out, the only enemy who could get into it was Shadow the Weasel. Reddy | teaspoonfuls Fox 't get so much as a black paw Int Inside it was perfectly dry.

You discovered a wonder- ful place, my dear, & wonderful place.” “It is pretty nice, I think myself,” replied Nanny. “Now we must be careful when going and coming that nobody follows us and finds it.” “Much good it would do them if they did,” replied Danny. “Just the same, it is better that no one should know of it, then no one will be watching it,” asserted Nanny, and this was logic that Danny could not deny. Having thoroughly inspected the new home, inside and out, Danny be- came anxious for news from the corn- fleld. He wanted to know what had happened or was happening there. So promising Nanny to be careful and take no chances, he started out to see what he could learn about the hap- penings in Meadow Mouse Town, which you know was Farmer Brown's cornfield. le]eu. ‘To one big cupful of hot mashed white potatoes add one cupful of white sugar and three tablespoonfuls of melted butter; let stand until cool, then add two well beaten eggs, half a cupful of milk, a pinch of salt, three of baking powder. flavor to taste and enough flour to make & dapgh. should he happen to find | soft D. C, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1934, Uncle Ray | Olden Organs. Wl HEAR the deep, throbbing music of an organ at a theater or church, or over the radio, and we are impressed by the power of this instrument. Strangely enough the mighty organs of today grew from the Greek pan- pipe—combined with the olden bag- pipe. For more than 2,000 years it has been growing, and now many organs are very large, indeed. Some have four, five or even more key- boards. Often we find that if we blow on the open mouth of an empty bottle our breath will make a sound come forth. The organ pipe works in much the same way. Alr is forced into 1t and sound is produced. A kind of organ was worked out by two Greeks who lived at Alexan- dria, Egypt, 200 years before the birth of Christ. They used pumps to force alr into “large panpipes” and water was employed in bringing about the proper pressure. This “hydraulic” organ was so successful that it was played in Rome before great crowds in the arena. The Romans liked noise, and this form of organ music gave them plenty of it. ‘The direct ancestor of the modern organ, however, was one in which water pressure had no part. The bel- lows was used to force air through the pipes, and this system goes back to ancient times. Some early organs with bellows were small enough to be carried about. The pipes, less than 3 feet high, were not of great weight. The player let the base of the instrument rest on his knees. While he worked the bellows with his left hand he touched the keys which set the air free 50 that it would go into the pipes. When he finished his playing, he carried the organ away, usually supporting it with a strap thrown over his shoulder. The air, or wind, for larger organs - 2% 82429/ = A CHURCHMAN PLAYING A PIPE ORGAN DURING THE MIDDLE AGES. (FROM AN OLD PRINT.) was supplied by men who pumped large bellows. In the year 951 an English bishop caused an organ of great size to be built for Winchester Abbey. We are told that it had 400 pipes, and that wind was supplied by 26 bellows. Two players worked the keys, while “70 strong men” were pumping the bellows. Working the keys of an organ dur- ing the Middle Ages was harder than it is today. The keys were sometimes 6 inches wide, and much force was needed to press them down. It was & custom to strike them with clenched fists and with the elbows. The player came to be known as “the striker of the organ.”, (For history section of your scrap- book. ) The leaflet called “Marvels of the Sky” contains a diagram showing sizes of the planets and their distance from the sun.

How It Started BY JEAN NEWTON. “Hair Stands on End.” TBE expression, “to have one’s hair stand on end,” is faithful to its origin, in its connotation of that very feeling produced in humans through the intervention of & supernatural phenomenon. As is the case with so many others, we owe this common line to Shakes- peare. Its earliest recorded use is in Hamlet, in the verse: “I am thy father's spirit, Doomed for a certain term to walk the night. { And for the day confin'd to fast in fires, Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature Are burnt and purg'd away. I am forbid To tell the secrets of my prison house, I could a tale unfold, whose lightest word But that Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, Make thy two eves, like stars, start from their spheres, Thy knotted and combined locks to part And deach particular hair to stand on end, Like quills upon the fretful porcu- pine.” (Copyright. 1934.)

HE ureter is a tiny tube through which the urine is conducted from the kidney to the urinary l bladder. ‘The lumen, or canal, in the ureter is very small, so small that a little concretion no larger than a grain of sand can make plenty of pain in passing to the bladder. This is known as kidney colic, or gravel, and is one of the most intense of all pains to which the body is sub- Ject. ‘The same causes as produce in- flammation of the kidneys will cause inflammations of other parts of the urinary tract. o | The " elimination Wm. H. Hay, M. D. | through the kidneys of too much irri- tating debris and ureteritis are merely evidence that the ureters have been subjected to much irritation for a long time before they finally became in- flamed. Here again it becomes evident that without removal of the cause there can | be no effective treatment. So long as | the urine continues to be irritating, | just so long will this tend to cause in- flammations of the ureter. The use of bland or soothing “rem- | edies,” which is usually the ideal aimed at, or the use of so-called anti- septics will avail nothing until the urine is rendered less irritating by withholding from the tract so much frritating debris as formerly ps every day. Diluting the urine by the drinking of huge volumes of water has always been regarded as beneficial. Not one case of recovery could be traced to this practice, however. The irritating debris that causes ureteritis or pyelitis or other inflam- mations of any part of the urinary tract originates always in the char- acter of foods eaten habitually. Cure must, therefore, come through this source. Nature provides in the natural foods plenty of water, the purest distillation imaginable, surely enough for all pur- poses of dilution, without the taking of Today's Hay Diet Menu. BREAKFAST.

D. any water as such, unless the indica- tion of thirst is present. To recover quickly from irritations involving any part of the urinary tract one should limit the entire intake of food to the vegetables, raw salads, fresh fruits and milk or buttermilk. If soups are used, these should be made with- out the addition of any thickening or any meat stocks. In my experience, the most rapid decline in inflammation has occurred when food was limited to the fresh fruit juices unsweetened, the raw vege- table juices and buttermilk, with no food of any other kind whatever till the irritation had entirely passed. Severe inflammations of the ureter may culminate in ulcer at some point in the ureter, with always the danger of formation of scar tissues. This tis-| | sue may, by its tendency to contract, | produce more or less obstruction to the passage of urine through this tiny | canal. Or gravel on its way down to| | the bladder may lodge for some time at some narrow part of the ureter and | by its continual irritation set up an | inflammation that will result in ulcer. It is so manifestly simple and easy to end all irritations, as well as all | tendency to gravel formation, by ad- hering to alkaline foods, such as men- tioned before, that there is no real ex- | cuse for allowing any ureteritis to con= | tinue long enough to endanger the ureters. | "It is never necessary to drink water beyond the amount necessary for the satisfaction of thirst, as mere dilution }ot the urine helps but little and only| | for short periods. ‘The real cure always consists of a reversal of the | food mistakes that have produced a | character of urinary debris that was | too irritating to the ureters. | Sonnysayings BY FANNY Y.

Among the small colony of English- men who came from the Islands of the Bardadoes to South Carolina in 1672, was one Thomas Drayton, who is ized as the founder of the family of Drayton in the Southern colony. This group of immigrants had fled to the Bardadoes from their native country, seeking peace from civil wal < and religious strife during the reigp of Charles I. Among them was Sir John Yeamans, who had secured a grant of land from the Lord Pro- prietor in South Caroliha. The Dray- tons at once became active in build- ing up & new nation, and were iden- tified in the important affairs of the colony. They were connected with some of the foremost families. Thomas Drayton, 3d, married Lady Mary Mackenzie, daughter of Archi- bald Mackenzie, Earl of Cromartie. Draytons belonging to the South Carolina branch went to Pennsyl- vania, where they became influential citizens, and where many descend- ants are now living. In New England, Henry Drayton is recorded as “able to bear arms at Marshfield, Mass, in 1643.” John i‘r‘nzyton was & farmer in Maine in (Copyright. 1934.) Frozen Nesserole.
