SOME WORDS OF UNDER- STANDING FROM A MOTHER TO A PROSPECTIVE ONE Dear Miss Grey: ‘words to the woman who signed herself “A. L, B.” who is goon to be a mother and who is annoyed by passers-by staring at her. ; Dear “A. L. B.”: It is 10 p. m. and I should be retiring Now after a hard day’s work instead of sitting here writing, but your letter, just peru sed, has driven the “sandman” away a short reprieve. y three wee lambies are tucked snugly away in their re- Bpective cribs and I, their mother, am mentally treading the |» crowded thorofares as of yore before their arrival. From earliest childhood the one definite longing that never changed or left my heart with the passing years, was the| mother. As a child, I declared I would have yearning to be a 80 many children, and later as the loneliness of my own com-| panionless childhood weighed upon me still heavier, I declar- ed I would adopt them if I had to do so, but children I would ve. Strange as it may seem, I waited until nearly 30 before I ied, altho several good offers had been turned down dur- the years preceding. Our first anniversary found us! With a S-monthsoki baby, and our Second celebration was less than three months before the arrival of our second precious darling. So you gee I have proved my right to an- Swer your question, “Just why do they stare so?” from the angles of HAT do YOU think? Write Cyn- thia Grey, care of Seattle Star. 1 wonder if you will print these few Doth spectator and performer Here let me state that I always have stared, still do, and doubtless always will continue to do so, tho I do try hard not to let the one whom Tam observing see me do it. As a girl and young woman I looked on fm yearning, if not envy, and have often observed my figure in the mir Fer and, yes truly, actually prayed that I might some day be biessed as the matron whom I had lately ob @erved was blessed. AS a prospective mother myself, and an abnormally awkward one at that, I have often seen people laugh- tng with unconcealed mirth at the Fidiculous show 1 presented when Recessary shopping drove me to @nter the exhibition. Every mirror ‘Or window passed gave me ample nity to realize that their sport fas not misdirected, for our purse ‘was as slender as my figure was | stout, so I could not purchase the drapes sadly needed. ‘Then I eagerly scanned every fel- Jow-sufferer for a gleam of cheer that perhaps others were as non- @escript as I and that I might at Jeast share the company of misery ‘When once more my form was “Dithe and supple, how I searched the throngs for those about to go thru what I had safely undergone! Would they, too, live to enjoy the wonder. ful reaping of joy I was now experi encirg? How easily then they could Bear the looks of curious ones. How I felt like encouraging every one to Be courageous and brave. Also I tried to picture myself as formerty they dodged the issue, and let the gentler sex fall in. And so—"men must unite and foree women to bear their part of the hardship.” Heart heart I'd like to see Mr, Hater of Women take the place of several women I know, for Just two days. He'd realize what hardships were. And he hag “had considerable experience," too! Poor, unsuspecting males! To fall for the “soft words of love and confidence a woman poyrs into their ears.” That's really good for a laugh! Be- lieve me, I don't think I'm alone in the class that would think twice be- fore pouring any words into his ears, and as for warning the dear “young men before entering marriage, one question: Mr. Fort taking the greater two? No woman expects to find a little tin angel in the man she promises to “love, honor and obey,” but she does expect—altho often her expectations fall far short-—a man with common sense enough to see life thru glasses that are clear, not glazed over with the magnified faulta of others. A man big enough to do his share in making his a real home and to do his part in the rearing of God's most wonderful gifte—little children. We gentler sex are usually grate. ful for our dally blessings and I am sincerely grateful and thankful that for every “Hater of Women” we may ever meet or qven hear from, there are 99 other men. . mind you— ready to do their share “and unite to force” creatures of hin caliber to keep their place in the little narrow. ot with the new experiences, the Old | pinged world they have formed for @nes seemed unreal. themselves, fenced around with their Lastly, when I see a figure &p-/own foolish imaginings of the wick- Proaching maternity now, I think of edness of othera.

THE LIFE OF GERMS | Disease germs, also called bac teria, do not usually live for any great length of time after they have left the body, for, like other living things, they soon perish when they | are removed from their natural elo ment, But they remain alive for| hours, and for days, if they are protected against suntight, | dryness, starvation, cleanliness and oxygen. Sunlight tn one of the gréatest de. stroyern of disease germs, They do not survive for long in a sunshiny room if exposed to the light, But, if they are protected in a mass of excretion, such as phlegm from the throat, the rays of the sun do not reach them, and they may survive for weeks or months. Dryness kills most germa very! quickly, but they survive in damp places, enpecially in darkness, some- nomentinnes After disease germs are expelled they are umally not otitain a proper mupply of J woon dic of starvation. Some few varieties, however, go into a resting stage, and assume a dry, Quiescent state, like a seed, for days or weeks, only to resume their erowth again when favorable con- ditions return. This dry, seed-like form is known an a spore. The bucteria which are able to! stand starvation and drying may be found In dust.
