pulled himself together and forced
his numbed brain to work-to think
clearly and without panic.

Even the coats of some suits, and
little separate sport coats, have
lately formed a habit of masque-
rading as capes by taking INTO
themselves cape sleeves or cape
backs. Many wearers like these
cape-coats better. because they ut

more warmth on blustery spring
days when winter chill is yet in the
air.
Instead of regular collars, the
scarf finish for the neck is increas-
iugly used. This may dangle down
the wearer's back and still be quite
smart or, if she prefers. the two
ends, or only one, may be wrapped
about her throat.
Many smart capes are made OF
rough sport fabrics with self fringe
for finish. Others are made OF
double-faced cloth which requires no
lining. But when Innings are used,

INTERESTS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR
Your Health


Pure Air
The ordinary fine dust i'm the air
that you can sometimes see as tiny
fiecks dancing in a sunbeam, does
nc harm. 1t is always in the air.
But when a cloud OF dust is stir
red up in sweeping, or when clouds
of dust are whirled along in the
street Ivy the wind, there is real
danger that any disease germs pres
emit may be carried and breathed in
to the nose or mouth.
That is the reason why classrooms
and corridors should never be swept
when children are in them. When
you are in the street IN a dust storm,
keep your mouth shut so as to take
in as little of it as possible.
The danger in breathing quantities
dust is often heightened by the
fact that any hard particles con-
tanned IN the dust may hurt the dell
cate refining apparatus of the lungs.
Men who work at dusty trades like
steel grinding and granite cutting,
easily fall victims to tuberculosis,
because their lungs have become in
jured by the inhaling of hard lust.
In some industries. as white lead
making and rubbing down paint.
there arc poisonous dusts or gases
which may get into the air and do
much harm.
The only poison likely to be found
in the air of houses is Illuminating
gas from leaking fixtures or from
leaking or carelessly handled gas
stoves.

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Try broiling small fish and fish
steaks. The broiled fish is quite a
different thing from the fried va
riety. Broiled fish is dry and not
quite so "fshy" as fried. And If
you must fry fish use deep fat meth
cd rather than the frying pan.
If you broil over a wood or coal
fire the fire must be clear" This
means a living bed of Goals without
flame, but very hot. II you broil
under the gas flame use the same
broiler that is used owe a fire.
It's almost impossible to turn
either fish steaks oil small split fish
without breaking If the regular gas
equipment is used. Always rub the
wire of the broiler well with oil be-
fore putting in the fish.

half to three-fourths of an inch
thick. Wash in cold water and dry

the other side.
Remove from broiler to a hot
platter, sprinkle with salt and pep

Garnish with slices Of lemon and
serve. The fish divides in large dry
fakes and is mos delicious.
BrOiled Blue Fish
Split fish down the middle and let
stand in strong salt water for 10
minutes. Drain and dry between
towels. Put in a well oiled broiler
and broil first on the flesh side, then
turn and broil on the skin side.
Remove to hot platter, garnish
with parsley, sprinkle with salt and
