TESTING

A simple means Of testing COM
preston is to provide a 15O-pound
gauge with bushings to fit either one
half inch pipe or seven-eighths inch
spark plug holes. The bushings are
screwed into the spark plug hole and
the gauge into the bushing, the gauge
being provided with a one-quarter
inch pipe thread which fits into the
bushing. To test compression insert
the gauge. turn the engine over with
the hand crank and note the gauge

ROYAL ROMANCES
GABRIELLE D'ESTREES.

; eyes, her expression one Of sweet
winsome tenderness, her form one
Of rounded grace.
To give her greater liberty and
security, Henry followed the
usual court procedure and ar
ranged a marriage between Ga
brielle and Nj. de Liancourt which
was not considerd binding and
which he soon dissolved.
Gabrielle gained great favor at
court, where her exquisite taste
and elegant costumes gave the
tone to Henry's entertainments.
Nothing in the history Of royal
favorites, save Diane de Poitiers,
is comparable to the luxury and
extravaganza which surrounded
Gabrielle, whom the adoring king"
had created Duchesse de Beau
fort.
With the birth of each OF their
three children, she advanced in
the kings regard. She was
treated as a princess and pre-
scented to the highest personages
in the land. From this connec-
ton sprang the Vendomes-a va
liant though dissolute race.
Gabrielle's power lay in her
ability to invest her eQuivocal
position at court with a dignity
that enabled her to exact the re-
spect due a queen without Great
ing enemies. Only a clever, tact
full woman. who steered her
course clear Of the shoals of in
trigue and politics, could do that.
But Gabrielle's reign was brief.
A deVotee, she had left the king
at Fontainebleau to go to Paris
during Holy Week. While there,
this lovely. adorable woman,
whom the king had planned to
raise to the dignity of Queen.

eighth year, on April 10, 1871.

TO PREVENT
CONTRACTION
by Brice Be.den, M. D.

WV HEN a child shows signs
" Of illness he should be
put to bed and other
children should be kept away
from him. Then the doctor should
be called to identify the disease.
The germs OF all the contagious
disease Of children multiply in
the mouths, noses and threats of
the little patients and are spread
about by sneezing, coughing and
talking.
These diseases are frequently
spread through games which re-
uuire the children to take hold of
each others hands. The hands
become infected because Of finger
sucking, nose picking, and nail
biting. Cleanliness, short-cutting
Of nails, and training in the
habit of keeping the hands away
from the mouth and nose are
therefore essential in the control
of the contagious diseases.
The Exchange Of candy, fruit,
pencils, whistles. horns and hand
kerchiefs promotes the transmits
sion of contagion.
The regular use OF the tooth
brush and the washing out Of the
mouth and throat daily go far
toward lessening the prevalence
Of the contagious disease group.
Whatever promotes the general
health and vigor fortifies the
child against contagious disease.
Loss Of sleep is a common cause
of debility and poor resistance to
disease in children. Indigestion
is another cause Of weakness,
usually preventable by simply
preventing the habit Of eating
between meals; of course, TIE
meals must be regular and the
food simple and nourishing.
Catarrhal conditions are an
other cause of poor general con-
dition and are usually depend.
ent upon easily removable factors,
like adenoids and infected tonsils.
Close housing is another cause
of poor vitality; outdoor air and
sunshine are great preventivcs of
disease: sleeping rooms must he
well aired all night; the temper
ture of living rooms should not
be over 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
Above all things. parents must
do everything possible to prevent
the spread of infection to other
families. These diseases can
| never be wiped out unless parents
realize their responsibility in this
| respect.

THE PALETOTS
THE THING
BY Rita StuYYesant.

Oy ASAE0 Guy NSSoSAAeS
THE paletot blouse promises to
l. be the feature Of the spring,
and all smart New York win soon
be wearing it. These blouse jack
cts are suitable with a one-piece
frock to create an entire cos
tune, or as a striking addition
to a striking sports skirt.
Partisan printed silk, with
black crepe de chine sash makes
a jacket of distinction, worn with
a skirt of soft black crepe, cir
cular in cut. The blouse is inter-
esting, opening bit to show an
underblouse or vest of flesh chif-
fon. The sleeves are long and in
clined TO flare a little at the
wrist. A binding of black crepe
outlines the sleeves and neck,
and sash Of the crepe, tied at
the left side, adds to the effect.
Another novel blouse, short
hip-length, is deliberately trimmed
with braid. The braid is ar
ranged in all-over design, closely
designed to form oak leaves. The
background is Of white, and it
is beautifully embroidered in
maize, copen, black, rose, tan or
green. It forms a short coat
blouse. with pointed collar, and
deep tailored turn-back cuffs.
Striped eponge, embroidered
and bound with black grosgrain
ribbon is favored for a Partisan
blouse of black and white. The
blouse is white, and the black
embroidery is arranged to show
stripes. This blouse is cut like
a short boX-coat, and hangs loose
ly at the hips. The black bind
ing is most effective, and sim
gle clasp of black fastens the
jacket at the front. Worn with a
white crepe pleated skirt, 1t forms
the better half of a smart sports
costume.
A new wool fabric, called fla
mingo, is used for an exception
ally good-looking paletot that is
shown in white or tan. 1t favors
the high turnover collar, that
hooks at the front. and falls
loosely to the hips. Only one but
ton is needed. and this is placed
at the waistline. The entire
jacket is bound in grosgrain rib
bon, and the flare sleeves are
split several inches on the out
side and finished with the rib
bon. Straight slit pockets are
also bound. One wears this pale
tot with a pleaded skirt of white
or tan wool.

the most daring paletots of the
season, and is cut like man.

SHACKLES FOR LOVE


of what someone else demands,
rather than our offering at the
shrine of love?
When q man or woman feels a
sense of obligation in love then
the spontaneous fervor goes and
the sense of prison walls sets in.
And love cannot thrive in a cage
or a prison. Love needs the
sunlight If it is to grow.
How do you feel toward your
mother and yourself-at the mo-
ment when you have put down
the story you were eager to fin
ish and have offered to do the
dishes so she can rest her tired
feet? Isn't that free gift Of your
self inspiring? And If she had
demanded that you wash dishes,
you might have thought bitterly
that you work hard in an office
all day and that it isn't fair for
her to demand that you do house.
work when you get home. And If
you had sat there watching her
drag herself about YEARLY, you
might have hated yourself and
your selfishness so bitterly that
part OF your resentment against
yourself would have been trans
ferred to her.
Apply the same thing to the
love between man and woman.
What you offer freely makes you
happy and enriches your beloved
when 1t is received. What you
give in response to a demand
makes you chafe at the chains
imposed on you. What you self
ishly withhold impoverishes you
both.
A married man know told me
the other day that one OF the
things that had made him fall
twice as much in love with his
wife as he was when he was
counting her, was her urging him
to take one or two nights a week
and go bowling or to a show or
have a reunion Of some sort with
his fraternity brothers.
"Ill bet she misses me, all
right" he said. But she never
let's on. And she doesn't let me
feel I'm doing anything but what
she likes to have me when I hop
out on my own once in while.
Say, If she insisted on my stay
ing home, I don't know how I'd
act-but you can bet your bot
tom dollar as long as she's SO un-
selfish and leaves me so free. /
