Q.-Can you explain the
psychology of smiling? l
have the habit of constant
smiling. This sometimes gets
ME into trouble. Sometimes
the company l am In happens
to be feeling pretty serious
about something, or getting
angry over arguments. Then
my inane smiles cause re-
sentiment. What can l do to
overcome thisf LENA.
A.-Your smile has become a
mere facial habit, uncontrolled
by your mind. An expression of
the face Is supposed to be the re-
suit Of an emotion, a state Of feel
ing back of it. But II you wear
a smile when the occasion calls
for an expression of anger, or
stern disapprOval, your mind is
not cO-Ordinating. You are emo
tiOnless. Some persons are cred
tied as being very ''sweet" Of
disposition, when really they are
merely too indolent to think. The
cure is to rouse yourself. Think

OverworkinS Secrecy

Why blind the American people when the Ger
mans see?
A month or more ago, Uncle Sam landed some
thousands of his troops in France, where they are
now undergoing training All Of France knows
where they landed and where they now are, but
this information has been kept from the Ameri-
can public.
Is there the slightest doubt but the Germans
know exactly where these troops are? Our cable
grams are still coming under address of "Train-
ing Camp in France" What sense is there in it,
when nobody's fooled save Americans2 It is
surely good policy for the Washington admins
traton to let our people have all the information
it can. Keeping Americans especially ignorant
is silly business.

Poison wv

The irritant poison of the poison ivy which pro-
duces unpleasant effects seems to be an oil.
The best remedy is to wash the parts of the
body which have come in contact with poison ivy
with ordinary yellow kitchen soap and water and
then apply the juice of the crushed plant called
the jewel weed.
Another remedy frequently found of value is
the application of sugar of lead This is poison
Gus and should be used with care.
The only way to get rid of the poison ivy plant
is to keep grubbing it up by the roots.
Sometimes the irritant oil gets on the clothing,
so that if this is used again possibly weeks after
wards, the symptoms will reappear.
The first symptom is a localized itching Soon
the itching area turns red In few hours fine
water blisters each smaller than pin head APP
pear. After few days the itching lessons and
then the redness and swelling gradually sub
sides.
If the itching part is scratched the fingers
liable to spread the infection to other parts of
the body.
Gloves on the hands when one goes into the
woods are the best preventive.

A.-The period Of engagement
is trying time. 1t is the time for
talking over all your theories Of
life and learning how closely you
agree on them. It Is a time for
earnest planning for the future.
Consequently, intimate cOnversa-
tiion is the most frequent form Of
entertainment. This must, OF
course, be varied by reading and
music and by attending good plays
and other clean amusenents.
You want your married life to
be an enlightened life, i'm accord
with the deep thoughts which are
stirring our nation at this time.
Encourage the young man to take
a broader outlook.
