the tips of the fingers should be
soaked for five or ten minutes.
The fingers are then dried and q
little cold cream rubbed around
the roots OF each nail.
III the nails are stained they
should be bleached with peroxide
of hydrogen. Twist a small piece
of cotton on the end of stick,

The next step Is to remove the
cuttcle from the base of the nail.
A little more cold cream should be
put on and the cuticle pushed
back with the hoof-shaped end of
the stick, while any portion that

cut away with the cuticle knife.
This knife or sharp manicure scis-

Now comes the polishing. A
polishing powder in cake form is
rubbed on the buffer and each fin

got a young man from one of
the social settlement houses to
help in the work. We bought a
couple of old tents for 1922. We
lived in one tent, the other we
used for kitchen and storeroom.
1t was necessary to have a tent
platform. This cost us IS; we made
1t of secondhand lumber.
The place was a gathering spot
for boys. Between Sixth and Sew
enth avenue in 137th street,, there
are about a hundred and fifty
boys from eight to fourteen, be-
sides larger and smaller ones.
When the neighbors heard we
were going to cultivate, they as
sured it would be useless to try.
because the boys would destroy
everything by running over 1t. And
what they did not destroy they
would steal. They did break into
the tool box the first night, but l
took the lock off, so they could not
do that any more.
Some thoughtful persons sug-
gested that a barbed wire fence
would be effective. have no con-
fidence in compulsion; so, instead
of barbed wire, I made an opening
in the fence, so anyone could come
in. Instead of getting a policeman,
/ called the trespassing boys; told
them that I did not want to drive
them away, but that we were going
to cultivate the land, and that we
really couldn't cultivate 1t IL they
kept running over it. They saw the
reasonableness OF that, and volun-
teered to keep the little kids Off
or, as they expressed 1t, to "chase
them"
II explained that had not chased
the big ones. and IL they would
show them how reasonable 1t was,
tho little ones would be Just aa
good as they were, and IL the cub
tiyation was a success they could
haye q share not only in the work.
bue even in the fruits thereof.
There was no more trespassing
artqr that and when the boys from
th6Sblocks east stole some radishes
our boys caught the marauders
and beat them.
In return we let them dig, the
just and the unjust. too. They dug
holes instead of burrows to be sure,
but the settlement man showed
them and they learned.
After the tent was up we had to
find crockeryware, cooking uten-
sils, books and bedding. A camp
bed and coilapsibie cot, such as
hunters use. with army blankets,
filled the bill for the sleeping APP
paratus, and q sack stuffed with
say or straw did pretty well for
a pillow.

A little cold cream, olive oil

Ordinary stains can be removed

The nails can be made clear and
by burrowing the fin

lemon. Ink and fruit stains are
easily removed in this way. A
little more convenient perhaps is
this: Into bottle pour one
ounce OF peroxide of hydrogen and
one ounce tincture of green soap
(both can be obtained at any drug
gist's). shake well and apply to all
the crevices around the nail with
an orangewood stick. but do not
push the stick under the nail;
rather permit the mixture to drip
from the point of the stick under
the nail. This acts on discolora-

from the hands always and dry

THE HAREM SKIRT

The ladies'! God bless 'em! What
should we do without them? Why,
We couldn't do at all. Yet, how we
abuse them. We men are never the
subjects of criticism as they are
Fools that we are, we are content to
go on forever, dressed in the same
crude old styles that our grandfathers
bequeathed. The tubular system has
enslaved us. We wear a tube upon
our heads. We thrust our arms into
a pair of tubes We incase our
trunks in tubes, and in place of the
charming hose of Robin Hood days
We hide our shapely limbs in tubes.
Our better-halves have always been
more sensible about the question of
dress than we have. Why not trust
them in their choice of the harem
skirt? 1t would do more than any
thing else to liberate them. The har-
EN- skirt is not half as immodest as
the hobble skirt. 1t cannot be con-
sidered to be immoral The present
method of dress most assuredly is.
Unwittingly woman has picked up
all kinds of disease germs and carried
them home to her little ones. All hail
to the harem skirt, which, instead of
bringing in its train inconvenience,
discomfort and disease, will enamel
pate the gentler sex and give it free
dom of carriage, leaving upon coming
generations blessing they will cas-
lily appreciate.-Sam Atkinson, in

SEXUAL HYGIENE IN AUSTRIAN
SCHOOLS

In this country, We usually credit
ourselves with progressive ideas.
Americans, who take any note Of
affairs in the Old World, however,
sometimes find that, while we have
been dallying with the progressive
ideas the forward step has been TAX
en- in Europe.
In view of the discussion in regard
to the possibility of introducing in
struction on SEXUAL hygiene into our
public schools, it is Interesting to OBJ
serve that this step has already been
taken in Austria, as will be seen by
the letter from our Vienna cores
pendent at this time.
For three years instruction on this
topic has been given, in connection
with the teaching of anatomy, to pu-
pills il the Austrian schools prepare
tory for the university and other
schools of the same grade; and re
Gently it has been introduced expert
mentally into the course for those pu
pills who leave school in their four
teenth year. 1t has also been a part
of the curriculum in German schools
for tw DOR three years.

the result of this experiment, which
