MAGAZINE PAGE. g BY BARBARA BELL. HE morning house dress comes to us, this Winter, in a variety of discriminating styles—not the least of which is the wrap- around—pictured in our pat- tern for today. This model offers the most striking evidence of improved styling, clever combinations of con- trast, and emphatic simplicity. Dresses of this type are so easy to cut and sew that women find pleasure in making up several of them at one sitting, to save time. ‘This design makes a particular ap- peal to women with practical domes- tic tendencies. It wraps around the figure in apron fashion. The back:is cut in one, and has darts nipping it st the waist-line. A fine fit is as- sured in the front by shaped panels, from shoulder to hem. A shawl collar and a snug belt provide the effective finishing details, that invariably please the ones who wear them. Many different materials are being used in house dresses this season. The new percales are gay and festive. Beersuckers come in checks, stripes and plaids. And the poplins, broad- cloths, lawns and shirtings are ob- tainable in a standard assortment of eolid colors. The ranking shades are 1539-B pink, Copenhagen, grey, mauve, green, rust, maize, melon and beige. Collars usually are made of organdie, fine lawn, or handkerchief linen. Peasant prints make interesting house dresses. They come in unusual color arrange- ments, which make an especial ap- peal because, seemingly, they are soil- proof. Most of them are pre-shrunk, fine of finish, and guaranteed fade- proof. Barbara Bell pattern No. 1539-B is designed in sizes 36, 38, 40, 44, 46, 48 and 50. Size 36 requires about 3% yards of 36-inch material, 3} yard of 36-inch contrast. Every Barbara Bell pattern includes an illustrated instruction guide which is easy to follow.

BY WILLIAM HOWARD HAY, M. D. Primary Anemia. HEN we speak of primary anemia we mean one that has not occurred through blood loss or from the de- struction of the red cells by & toxin or disease. In other words, we mean progressive pernicious anaemia, & failure of the blood-making organs. In secondary anaemia there may be a normal rate of manufacture o f red cells, but some toxic substance is shortening the life of these, destroy- ing them faster than they can be normally created. (s upp o sedly) without path- ology, but this is only because we cannot h'}rl our finger on the pa- W, H. Hav. M.D. g Y I Is no doubt present in the form of structural changes in the marrow of the long bones, where the red cell is supposed to be chiefly created. Whether or not there :rhe m 1A in these organs, the of mprozrmm ve pemlcg‘u anemia has al- ways been a quite unmanageable affair, with certain death at the end of a ew years. ’e%fly the liver feeding, for which Dr. Minot and associates were awarded the prize lately, has seemed to stay the of the disease, and even bring the red blood cells back to an approxi- mate normal. The whole trouble with the liver idea, however, is that if fed continuously the subject becomes pro- gressively more toxic, and dies of some toxic manifestation sooner or later as & result. When we can regard this very seri- ous condition as merely another ex- pression of & toxic state, and proceed with the usual detoxication and nor- mal dietary correction, we find it is no longer unmanageable, with or without liver feeding, and it recovers with mo- notonous. regularity, unless much too far gone when treatment is under- aken. Constipation has been long present, even perhaps a resulting diarrhoea in not a few cases, and the effect of & point of attack, which in the anemic is the hematopoietic function, or the manufacture of blood cells, sup- posedly largely in the marrow of the long bones. Like every other impaired function this has come about through Wiap-Around House Dress with a scrupulous attention to colon ¢ tollette, Flush out the colon com- | pletely every day with two quarts of tepid or cool water, to keep putrefying food residues from collecting there. Of 110 cases so treated but eight failed to recover, and these only be- cause there was not enough vitality remaining to carry the sufferer.through the necessary adjustment to the normal. Among these 102 recoveries were six who were in coma when treatment was begun, yet they lived and regained normal blood count, without medica- tion or even liver feeding. Those whose recovery was permanent were the ones who continued to live afterward as directed. And every relapse was easily traceable to neglect of the colon and return to nearly the same habits of eating as created the condition origi- nally. So always with disease! Today’s Hay Diet Menu.

Anarbichas Min wolf fish CEPT the sharks, the xhn the most formidable ar- ray of teeth found in any of the Gulf of Maine fishes. , This spotted member of the family is found north of the Arcie Circle, south to Norway on the eastern sids of the North Atlantic, and to Masss: chusetts Bay on the western side its range. It is more striking looking than one found on both sides of the N Atlantic and in Cape Cod. The habits are the same, 50 far as observations have extended. The chief difference between them seems to be that the band of teeth on the roof of the mouth is shorter than are other importan sclentists, but for general identifica- tion purposes the best fleld mark to look for is in the pale olive or brown d and caudal fins being blackish- brown spots of varying size and shape. The color of the common wolf fish is rather dull purplish brown or olive green, bluish gray or slate color. Wolf fish fade as soon as they leave the water, and they appear much more dull looking than they really are. They reach about 5 feet in length, and weigh about 30 pounds. Larger ones have been caught. The catch varies in any given region from year to year. It is a resident wherever found, and is caught throughout the ear. ? There is a market demand for it as a table fish, and it is usually sold read- ily under the name of “ocean catfish” or “catfish.” The eggs are laid from November until January in North European waters. They are the largest fish eggs known, opaque and yellowish. They are laid on the bottom in shoal water, where they stick fast together in large clusters, among the weeds, stones and debris. The baby wolf fishes are known as larvae and are transparent when they first hatch. It is some time before these infants resemble their parents. They lie on the bottom, resting on the yolk that is supplying them with needed nourishment. Salmon and trout larvae do the same. As the egg yolk diminishes, and the youngsters become stronger, they be- gin to swim about for a few inches. They are not swift growers, and must float about with the tide and current, at the mercy of the hordes about them, hungrily looking for helpless infants. It seems that the babies hatched in the Autumn will be about 5 or 6 inches long the following July, and from then on their growth is more rapid. The diet of a wolf fish consists wholly of hard-shelled crustaceans, mollusks and echinoderms. There was a story circulated that they were dreaded wolves among fish. After many examinations, the story was proved to be a false one. * The creature has a vicious bite, and holds on with bulldog tenacity. It strikes at an oar or anything coming % toward it, when it is being hauled out of water, and fishermen have suffered severe wounds on their hands from them. When caught, fishermen usu- ally knock the fish in the head, to prevent it from doing any damage to the other fish it is thrown among, or to other fishermen who handle it. As a rule, the deeper waters appeal to these husky fellows, and they are caught in water from 40 to 85 fathoms or deeper. Compared with pollock, cod or haddock, wolf fish are solitary. They are caught by otter-trawlers and by hand-line fishermen, and are ground fish, always found strolling over the hard bottom. They are not much as swimmers. (Copyright, 1934.) Opyster Bisque. Slash one pint of oysters several times with a small knife, put them in a saucepan, and simmer for 20 minutes. Make a white sauce with three tablespoonfuls of butter, three tablespoonfuls of flour, one pint of milk, and salt and pepper. Strain the oysters through a fine sieve into the sauce and, when blended, add half a cupful of cream and heat thor- oughly. Use just a sprinkling of mace. A beaten egg yolk meay be added to the cream, but the bisque is delicious without it. Dorothy D. C, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1934, Dix Says Youth Who Makes Woe Out of Simple Act of Blushing Needs Sense of Proportion. Envy of Husband’s Employes. EAR MISS DIX—I am 17 years of age and the most unhappy boy in the world because I am afflicted with an ailment that is to me equal to death itself. It is blushing. It has already robbed me of my friends. It makes me a failure at school. It cuts me off from all the pleasures of my time of life. I am ashamed to go among people because I flush up every time they speak to me. I am unpopular, for it seems as though other people are em- barrassed in my presence. Miss Dix, I am lost. What shall 1 do? E.R. Answer—The best thing for you to do is to go and talk it all over with a psychiatrist. Perhaps he could make you see how neurotic you have let yourself become and what a silly attitude you are taking toward what you call your “affiiction.” For, believe me, you have the act of blushing and the effect it has on other people all wrong. The ability to blush is an accomplishment and not a handicap, and it is something that is 50 rare and unusual in this hard-boiled age that most of us find 1t very attractive, Pmsonmvm,xmnkummmwmmmckm blood rush into a girl's or boy’s face as he or she speaks or is spoken to. It gives an of , of sensitiveness to im- appearance response, pressions, of eager interest and intelligence, that is lacking in the flat, dull faces of those whose color never changes. It is like turning the light on in a dark room. And so you should be very glad that you have this delightful gift. Not long ago I heard a man telling about a youth he had met and whom he liked very much because he was so interested in everything and 50 unspoiled, and he wound up his panegric by saying, “Why, he actually blushes when you speak to him.” And don’t worry about not being able to cure yourself. Time does that. Blushing is one of the feats that only youth can accomplish. You will get over it only too soon, and be just as monotonous and commonplace as the rest of us. DON”x‘ you see, when you think it over, how true what I am telling you is, and how lacking in common sense you are to let the fact that you blush spoil your life, as you are permitting it to do when you with- draw from your friends and make it an excuse for flopping in your school work? I am giving it to you straight, son, that it is not the blood that comes up into your face that is ruining you—it is the lack of blood that goes to your brain. ‘You say that you are unpopular because you blush. Honestly, now, do you think any human being in the world except yoursel! cares a two penny bit's worth about that? Do you think that whether you are pale in the face or not has a thing to do with whether people like you or dislike you? Do you think you are of such importance that people notice every variation of color on your cheeks? . DOROTHY DIX—I am a girl of 18. I know my husband loves me very much, but he refuses to give me a personal allowance, and T feel like a beggar when I ask him for money for such feminine neces- sities as rouge and lipstick, to say nothing of clothes. I do without the things I need rather than ask him. When I was single I was con- sidered well dressed. Now I haven't one decent frock. I envy the girls in his employ who can look forward to a pay envelope on Saturday night. F. G, Answer—] have written on this subject a million times, and I shall write on it a million times more, hoping that I can make a husband here and there understand how foolish and unjust he is in refusing to give his wife a definite personal allowance for her own use, THI majority of husbands do not do this through stinginess, because in the end it saves nothing to pay a wife's bills instead of giving her the money to pay them herself. They do it because they have the idea that women do not feel about financial independence as they do, and that they are not humiliated by having to panhandle a husband for every cent they have. They also think that women do not resent the injustice of never getting, as their right, any of the money they work for. No man would want to go to even the kindest father and ask him for carfare and cigarette money. Nor would he think it fair to work for father without getting a salary, and having father dole him out a nickel now and then and buy him clothes when he needed them. He would want his own money to do with as he pleased, and he would want to get the reward of his labor in good hard cash. Well, that's the way women feel about it. A wife knows that she earns at least a servant’s wage by her work in the home, and she wants to be paid it. (Copyright, 1934.) Who Are You? The Romance of Your ]&ame BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS, ’I‘fl!

Stephen Zeller, son of Chris- tian, in 1519 was elected a member of the great Council of Zurich, and in 1531, elected captain of the Swiss confederates, serving under the Duke of Milan in his Italian campaign against the Duke James de Medici. Hans Heinrich Zeller of this line became a professor of sacred theology in the University of Zurich, occupy- ing the same chair once held by the celebrated Zwingli. The progenitor of the American family was James Zeller, sixth in de- scent from Christian. He was born in Zurich in 1660. Later he went to Great Britain, where he became a | naturalized citizen by act of Parlia- ment in 1709. It is thought that he died either in London or at sea, en route to America. He had mar- ried in 1682 in France, and his son, Jean Henri Zeller, who was born in France, was the one to establish the name and family in America. He settled in Berks County, Pa. Descendants of this family are found today in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and other States. (Copyright, 1934.) The Debunker BY JOHN HARVEY FURBAY, PH.

These articles are based on the Sims system, which includes - the one-over-one principle, which the Sims group of players was the first to employ and develop. Something Went Wrong. FTER each major tournament it is discovered that some ex- pert has either staggered into the wrong contract, and made it through a series of lucky breaks, or defeated some other lay- down contract by a highly unorthodox and fortunate lead. The nstances when the unortho- dox lead not only failed to defeat the contract, but also permitted the op- ponents to make an overtrick are quietly overlooked in the general con- fusion. Take this hand, for example. Both sides were vulnerable—only West hadn't noted that fact. That, in itself, was mainly responsible for the - " of North and South. & A-x ¥ A-J-10-x-X *x & A-Q-10-x-x 4 K-x » Q-x-x ¥ K-x-X-X N vQ ¢ J-x-x-X-X W+E ¢ A-K-Q- & x-x 8 X-X-X & X-X-x East, Dbl 3 Dia. 3 5 Dia, Dbl . Pass, The minute North bids clubs South’s hand becomes much better. He has given one weakness bid over the double. Now he must show strength by a free preference bid. West’s four-diamond bid, which led East to save at five diamonds, was risky, but, as I sald before, he over- looked his vulnerability. North opened the ace of spades. South managed to find a nice small spade in his hand to put on the trick, so North, commanded to shift, pon- dered for some time. North realized that he and South were fixed unless they could set East and West 900 points, for he was posi- tive that there was a cold vulnerable game his way. He finally decided on the basis of the bidding that South held the king of hearts, with the pos- sibility of a doubleton club. There- fore, he underled his ace of hearts, hoping thus to put South in to come through clubs and get a club ruff on the third round of the suit. ‘The tragic result is all too apparent. West made five diamonds, doubled. Naturally, in rubber bridge North would not dream of making that play. He would lay down his three aces and wait for a high discard from South.

Remembering Names. H!:RE is what has been said about some of the great men of the past in respect to their ability to re- member names. Socrates knew the names of all his pupils and he had thousands of them. Xenophon knew the names of all his soldiers. Napoleon and Washington were also at least fairly well a quainted with the names of the men under their commands. Pericles could name every citizen of Athens. Cineas could do the same for Rome. And there were some twenty thousand citi- zens in the Rome of his day. John Wesley remembered and could recall the names of &ll the people he met in his travels. In the field of politics we have Henry Clay and James G. Blaine, who could remember the names of all they met. Of course, all these may be just “gtories.” I rather suspect that his- tory has colored the facts. Great per- sonalities take on color with age. Or rather posterity endows them with coloration that they did not actually Ppossess. Yet there must be some connection between the ability to remember names and the ability to get on well in the world of human affairs. Hesi- tate to greet a person by his name, and you have to a great extent alien- ated yourself from him for the time being. Demonstrate your ability to name a man, and you are in position to sell yourself to him. Your name for you is really your personality, And 80 it is for every one.

Or you may take enforced rest or follow a particular routine. “I like to spend most of my leisure | time on our yacht, cruising up and | down the California coast, when I am | not working. And without knowing it, I suppose I am doing the thing that keeps me in the best of health, for I enjoy every minute of it. I eat lots, sleep sound as a log and when I get a radio to return to the studio I am feeling tremendously fit. “Clothes?” Miss Francis mused over the idea because it is one very much discussed in Hollywood. “I dress in the things I like. No, 1 don't even think about what my husband Likes, because he usually coincides with my own ideas on this subject.” Miss Francis, as you probably know, is taller than the average Hollywood star, being 5 feet 7. She has won a reputation, not only for herself, for her ability to wear clothes, but also for a very clever designer, who takes great delight in making costumes which show understanding of her per- sonality. He admits he would rather design clothes for Kay Francis than eat—or drink. It is her adhering to individuality which has won a place for Kay Francis in Hollywood, where few dare to look themselves. Kay Francis insists upon being herself. Her hair is chestnut. She wears it to fit her individuality Short if she happens to feel like it. Parted in the middle if she likes. Down on her neck if it suits her. No one shows her a picture of some one else and suggests that she looks like the photo. “Make the best of what you have,” she advises. “If you haven't a voice, don't spend needless effort in training it. If you have a good figure, con- centrate on showing it to the best ad- vantage. Every one has a mixture of good and poor features. Play up the best of what you have—end see the result.” ‘This is advice from a brunette who has proved that the story about male preference for blonds is a fallacy. (Copyright. 1934.)

He asks no aid M from any one and he does not intentionally give aid to any | one. He is one who minds his own business and isn't in the smallest degree interested in the bus- iness of other people. If you were to ask him, he probably would say that be never did anything for others and that even as he vis under no obli- gations to any one no une was under obligations to him. He would be | mistaken. The saying that no one | can live to himself alone is probably true. And Miner the Mole, digging tunnels for his own use, was also digging them for the use of others. So it was that when Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse saw the earth being pushed up just in front of them they knew who was doing it, and Nanny, who had just wished that Miner would come back before the ground should freeze, was delighted. “It is Miner, as sure as you live,” she cried, in her funny, squeaky voice. “Now, if he only would come out where we could talk to him I would ask him to do something for me.” “What would you ask him to do?” asked Danny, curiously. “I would ask him to——" Nanny didn't finish, for just then the sod broke and brown earth from below was pushed out, and then Miner the Mole himself appeared on the surface, as sometimes happens at night. “How do you do?” Nanny asked politely. “I do as I please. What is that to you?” retorted Miner crossly, in quite as squeaky a voice as Nanny's own. “Nothing,” replied Nanny hastily, “What I mean is, I hope you are feel- “As well as usual.

Miner was tunneling. Abruptly the ridge took a sharp turn. “Look!” cried Nanny excitedly. “Well, what of it?” asked Danny, without any excitement at all. “But don't you see the direction in which he is digging?” cried Nanny. “If he keeps on he will tunnel right under that old coat that hides our home in the fence corner.” (Copyright. 1934.) ‘When Your Cough Hangs On, Mix This at Home Saves Good Money!
