Yes, sir, Cubby was growing more and more independent every day. Mother Bear saw it and understood what it meant. She knew that it meant that Cubby was getting ready to go out into the Great World, and that was exactly as it should be. To tell the truth, Mother Bear was getting where she would like to be rid of the care of her twins, | Cubby didn’t stick close to moth- er's heels now, as did his twin sis- ter. He lingered behind. He went off exploring on littie side trips of his own, He discovered that if he wer alone when he found food he got more of it. In other words, he didn’t have to share it. That wasn't nearly 1s selfish as it sounds, It merely means that Cubby was an observing small bear and that he was very likely to make a place for himself in the world of Bear: Very early one morning slipped away from his mother his sister.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy- gein, the Health Magazine, Frequently children develop spas- modic movements of muscles of various parts of the body, particu- larly the face. Sometimes these habitual movements per until late in life. Many readers will remember the manner in which Tom Sawyer iden- titied a criminal by his habitual gesture in “Huckleberry Finn." The movements may involve sim- | ple blinking of the eyes or raising the eyebrows: on the other hand, |there may be involuntary move- ment of the nose and ears, of the shoulders and arma, or combina- tions of movements of the hands and of the face St. Vitus' Dance, Sometimes these &ymptoma are confused with a disease called chorea or Ct. Vitus dance, in which the strange movements are appar- ently due to involvement of the nervous system by infections begin- ning in the throat. In many ingtances habit spasms are made worse by emotional stress or fatigue. If the child becomes exceedingly excited or is greatly tired due to much mental activity in school or in outside courses, the brain is stimulated in such a man- ner that the hahit spasms result with increased intensity. As soon as a parent observes these symptoms medical advice Ishould be consulted. The hyglenic care includes complete rest in bed: plenty of good food: hot haths at frequent intervals, since these are sedative in their effects, and care- ful watching of the action of the bowels &0 that food poisons may not accumulate within the system. Both the parents and the physi- iclan should be able to determine by tactful questioning whether or not the child has been under any spe- cial emotional strain or whether or not its mind is undergoing stress due to its inability to settle some problem in is existence. _ Requires Sympathy.

(By NEA Service) Chicago, May 28.—What are the avérage young men and young wom- lan like in this day of Flaming Youth, anyway? Dr. Reginald Fitz, associate pro- fessor of medicine at the Harvard University Medical school, can an- swer that question about as well as anyone can, at least as far as physi- cal characteristics go. Not long ago he made a series of examinations of a large number of college boys and girls, ranging in age from 19 to 26; and in the current issue of Hygeia, the magazine of the American Med- ical association, he eummarizes his findings. The average girl, he finds, is first of all, a bit underweight. “She tends deliberately to under- nourish herself in order to keep thin,” he explains. “One gets the im- pression that a girl's present aim is to keep thin at all costs; failing to attain this end she may become dis- couraged and conclude that the ef- fort is more Lother than it is worth, in which case she may go to the other extreme 4nd placidly eat her- self into a condition of abnormal obesity." In the eccond place, she doesn't wear quite enough clothing. Dr. Fitz found that two pounds of clothing. including shoes, is con- sidered excessive by the average girl; 12 ounces seems just about right to a great many. These two traits have effects which a doctor can reai Too light clothing makes the aver- age girl constantly cold—in the w ter time, at any rate. Body tempera- tures fully two degrees below normal are often encountered; blood pres- sure also tends to be subnormal. The result is not good for the health. She"—the average girl—"is con- | stantly below par and thus liable to minor infections in the way of colds or sore throats and may readily in- cur more serious troubles,” writes Dr. Fitz. “Thuas in my group it was found that 36 per cent of the women had lost two or more weeks' time from minor illnesses during the pre- ceding two years, while only 16 per cent of the men had been bothered taken ouly a few years ago. a Virginia belle in her youth.

In- deed, he is apt to be slightly over- weight rather than underweight, He enjoys good health and is decidedly of the athletic type—sometimes to a greater extent than is good for him. “They tend, perhaps, to lead too strenuous an existence,” he write. “It is & question whether so much violent and spasmodic exercise as many are taking for recreation may not prove to have a detrimental in- fluence on the heart and blood ves- sels by throwing on necessary load which will be harmful in the long run."
