rec Tops Help
To Judge Roads
OUer Hill Crest

Many motorists hesitate to pass
another car when approaching the
crest of hill. fearing still another
machine may be approaching from
the other side, whereas the road at
the top may be level. To make sure
that the highway does not dip down
beyond the summit 1t Is only neces-
sary to note whether there are any
trunks of trees visible 100 feet or
so away.
If these can be seen when climbing
the hill, the top OF an approaching
car could also be seen, and 1t Is safe
to assume that the road is level at
the top and that no harm can result
from passing around the car ahead.

Many business men who attended

an expression OF the car manufac-
turers' desire to make the passenger
automobile more valuable CONNER

larger number of strictly business
cars and in the improvement in the
earlier specimens OF this type.
THE development of the business
car is one of the healthiest trends in

who is chairman Of the show COM

THE NEWEST
HOSIERY

HOES and sandals are hold

robe and of no less Importance
is the hosiery that. accompanies
them. There are different types
for all hours of the day and eve,
ming.
For sports wear there are In
teresting stockings in a light silk
and wool mixture that show
great variety of colors pleasingly
combined, with one color pre-
dominating. These are made up
in plaid and striped effects, and
are smart with plain golf ties
and plain frocks.
For tea comes the sheerest
taupe chiffon hose to accompany
a black satin gown or patent
leather strapped sandals.
If you are wearing gray or
taupe footwear see that your
hosiery matches perfectly. The
gay colored footwear requires hose
of the same shade. Red, canary,
blue, green and rose are all
shown.
If you do not care for the
same shade of hose, you might
try white with colored arrows
harmonizing; nude chiffon or silk
net always looks we'll with this
type.
For general evening wear. nude
hose with gold sandals is a smart
combination. The brocaded slip
pers require hose of a neutral
shade, and for this any pastel
shade is advisable.
Flesh silk hose is effective with
silver sandals.
You can have your hose dyed
to match your evening gown.

THE NERVOUS
CHILD
by Brice BeIden, M. D.


7 ought to be borne in mind
that nervousness in children
n is often acquired through imi-
tation of irritable persons given
to attacks of temper and exhibit
ing but little emotional control.
What is blamed on heredity, in
other words, is simply due to the
children's environment.
Children of nervous temnera-
ment frequently overcome to
considerable extent any. defects
that are hereditary il their envi-
ronment is such that an oppor-
tunity is afforded them to initiate
people who have good self-control.
Young children are strongly i'm
1tative, and therefore great advan-
tage may be taken of this fact in
the management of normal as
well as nervous children. They
must be set good example.
Children disposed to be nervous
must be watched but they must
not know that they are the OBJ
Jects of solicitude.
The general health Of these chill
dren must be maintained at the
highest possible level. Whatever
lowers their vitality increa ses
their nervousness, for-eVe nor
NAL children may be made ner-
Vous by defective nutrition, IA
tigue, loss Of sleep, adenoids, eye
strain and lack Of play In the
open.
There are two general types Of
nervous children. In the one
case we have an excitable child
who is too easily stimulated, and
In the other case we have one
who is weak. awkward listless,
dull, clumsy, forgetful and mat.
tentiVe. In the former type the
nervous tone is too high, while in
the latter the nervous tone is low.
1t is in those of low tone that we
encounter cold hands and feet
and profuse perspiration.
Simple and wholesome surround
ings are what these children
need most.
