TRY PICKING DANDELIONS
(ChicagO Tribune)


We offer herewith amid sugges-
ton to persons who, while enjoy
ing country outing, are unable to
differentiate between the beauties of
a protected field of wild flowers and
desolation of field which has been
stripped and left to weeds and grass
by the wayside vandals If they
must pick something which does not
belong to them, let them try picking
dandelions.
The flower of that ubiquitous
weed, we are told, though we haven't
tried it, forms the base of a potent,
pleasing and inspiring beverage.
The leaves, we know by experience,
can form one of the most wholesome
and appetizing vegetable dishes
known TO modern cookery. 1t is the
spinach with a kick.
And no one will begrudge their
passing. Vandals may exercise their
most destructive inclinations against
the dandelion. Tear them up, root
and branch. Bedeck the automobiles
with them. Throw them into a
boiling caldron. Serve them with
oil-or vinegar. Eat them alive.
Do your worst-to the dandelion.

In addition to foreign varieties OF

A HEALTHY COUNTRY

Figures have been presented to
the national convention of State
Boards of Health at Washington,
showing that 1921 was the healthi-
est year on record in this country.
Some people will say it was be-
cause it was a poor business year,
and that in difficult times people do
not overload their systems with rich
food. Others will say that the
American people are drinking less
liquor.
However such causes may factor,
the health campaign that has been
promoted all over the country
should be bringing results. The
people are learning that one half of
the deaths occur far earlier than is
necessary. Children are brought up
in more sanitary way, and conta-
gious diseases are being reduced.
What is needed now is to push
this campaign home to every family
in the community. A single unsani-
tary household is disease peril, for
its children to go out and carry their
beaded infections to the most care
full home. The people have a per-
sonal interest in seeing that health
education is carried into the most
ignorant family.

THE DRUNK

I stood on the bridge at midnight
AS drunk as a son of a gun,
Two moons arose in the heavens
When there should have been only
one.
L wondered which one belonged
there,
And which was the moon divine
The moon of a happy fancy,
The child of the corn and wine?
1 looked for the lights of the village,
But never a light was lit
L bit off a chew of tobacco
And stepped to the rail and spit
L spit into the turbid water
And into bullfrog's eye,
And 1 thought of the long dead
millions
When l heard the bullfrog cry.
Then 1 wept for the countless
thousands
Of the long dead sons of men,
Who would never be back in Ken
lucky,
And could never get drunk again.

Return to Normal Waistline
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

A type Of street frock frequently
worn these mild days carries several
features that the dressmakers have
wide skirt that hangs straight. The
other is the double waistline. The
third is the addition of startling lin
gerie collar and cuffs. The sketch
shows one of these.
1t is of blue crepe de chino. which
has become as popular as black. Pos
sibly it is the next best thing in the
minds of those who do not wish to
embark on gay colors. The skirt is
keeping the line straight from shoul-
der to hem. but presenting something
newer than the chemise frock. The
longwaisted blouse has sufficient
fullness under the arms to keep 1t
from the ugly tightly drawn effect
across bust and shoulder blades that
far too many Of the recent gowns
gave to the beholder. This is signal
Improvement. The long sleeves are
sling cuffs. wide and OF double thick
ness of beige handk erchief linen to
match the collar. Neither OF these
accessories hides its light under
buShel these days. They nave sprung
into brilliancy like robins on a lawn
after a rain.
The blouse and skirt are Joined at
the hipline. where belt is expected.
The marking there is sufficiently firm
to have a meaning. one that conveys
to the public that the wearer knows
quite well where belts are supposed
to go. Yet. just for the fun Of the
thing they show another one to prove
that the normal waist is the place
where belts will soon go.
Some of the smart women do not
take the trouble to accentuate both
tricks. They frankly wear their belts
where their waist is marked. The
hipline must so into the discard when
these things are being done. And it
will not be in fashion long. This is
well for the average, or rather typi-
cal. American figure. For this pur-
pose there are colored suede belts.
others of shining leather. not with
the several metallic ornaments. but
merely a simple buckle, or chain of
metal links. The dog leash is we'll
in the lead. as is the dog collar kind.
The house of Callot introduced
these last August, so they are not
new to few exclusive dressmakers,
but they are new to the mass of peo-
pie.
