Have You This Habit?
BY Margaret Morrison
THE HUMAN TOUCH

A s BENEDICT CLARK, head Of
the state bureau of charities,
faced the new commissioner, he re-
allied that he had come to crisis
in his personal affairs that paralleled
the crisis in his department.
1.-THE work Of the bureau is con-
scientious," the commissioner was say
ing. IF you will allow me to say it,
you are obviously attentive and clear
headed and good disciplinarian.
What l lack is sense Of human con-
tact. That is what I shall emphasize
In the appointments during my regime.
OF course shall make no changes for
q while"
Then Benedict Clark's father died,
and Benedict went back to the little
town that he had left as boy of
eighteen, to which he had never re-
turned since. in order to straighten his
affairs. And, during the week Of his
visit, there echoed in his mind the
words Of the new commissioner, "hu-
man contact" What the deuce did
the commissioner mean by human
.,ontact?'
The last days Of his stay were
formal calls. Benedict Clark's father.
as his son well knew, had been a man
of importance in the state. That he
had been also man Of many ard old
friendships had not hitherto made
such an impression upon young Clark.
Three months later again found the
commissioner sitting across from
Benedict Clark at his table in the bu-
reau of charities. But there was
subtle difference in the attitude of the
two men-the table somehow seemed
less wide.
Il owe you an apology, Clark" the
head began. at just goes to show that
a new man can't afford to pass judy
mert. You remember my telling you
three months ago in this very Office
that I missed human contact in your
department? I don't mind telling you
that I've been watching your work
closely, and the most valuable part
about 1t now seems to me that you
know personally the people with
whom you deal-I believe it's people,
not cases with y0u-and If that isn't
what charity u.s. I give up my job"
"Since our conversation on human
contact" said Benedict Clark, "Tve
been working out a theory here in
the bureau. I've been making a habit
Of stopping to talk. It's an old
fashioned habit, but enlightening- g.

DISCUSSION OF MATERIALS
AND COLORS FOR COATS

Blanche z. Hyde, Extension Service,
Colorado Agricultural College,
With the onslaught Of winter the
thought Of 4 winter coat known in
years gone by rs big coat" is pre-
dominant
While such q coat may be made at
home very satisfactorily those who
wish to purchase one ready made are
glad Of few points as to materials.
The new coatings are practically all
rough in finish, differing from the
broadcloths and kerseys Of q few
years ago, which had q smooth finish.
Many Of the new costing goods are
deuble cloths, plnin on one side and
plaid on the other. Camels hair
coating Is . general name used for
many Of the materials, especially
when Of the natural eolor, which has
always been associated with camel's
hair goods. Coating materials Of this
type may be had from hve dollars up.
per yard, and are not only attractive.
but serviceable as well. Many Of the
higher priced coatings are known as
pile weaves, like velvet, in fact are
practically wool velvets. They are
woven Of . superior quality of wool,
which aided by the finishing processes
given the material after it is woven,
produces a cloth with beautiful lusteY
These materials are much more expen-
sive than those in which the nap or
loose ends Of the wool are merely
raised or pulled TO the surface to
give a soft woody appearance. Such
materials cost from seven-fifty to
fifteen or more dollars a yard. The
latter sum sounds very large, but

IN MAKING OVER GARMENTS

Blanche E. Hyde, Clothing Specialist
Colorado Agricultural College,
Many people contend that it does
not pay to make over garments, hence
the question-When is it economy oil
worth while to make over a garment !
1t is worth while to make over q
garment
(a) When the amount of material
is sufficient and in good condition.
(b) When the work can be done
with little or no cash outlay.
(cl When the person who does the
making over is not obliged to borrow
the time from more important tasks
or from time needed for rest and re-
creation.
I'D When the amount of time nee
essary to rip the old garment, re-
novate the material and construct an
other garment is not entirely out OF
proportion to its worth.
1t is not worth while TO remodel 9
garment
(a) When the amount of material
in the garment is small, or the Sec
tons of such q shape that they can.
not be utilized so that the cost OF
necessary material for combination
will over-balance the value of the
original goods.
(b) When one has TO pay for hav-
ing the word done unless the amount
is small compared with the value OF
the garment.
(c) When the time involved could
be spent to better advantage in other
wayx
(d) When the garment could be
utilized as it is. or with minor alter
atoms for another member Of the
family or another person.
The desire for something new" and
change" Is everywhere apparent
and even when one quizzes q woman
or . girl as to her reasons for wishing
to pull to pieces q garment in good
repair and style, she answers: "Oh,
have worn it like that quite a while
and want change"
The success OF remodelled gar
ment often depends on the care with
which the pattern has been selected
II the garment is to be cut down
to one of smaller size, whether SIM
liar to the original in cut or differing
radically, the size and shape Of the
original peces must be kept in mind
when looking over pattern designs
II one is purchasing the pattern "Ovei
the counter" instead Of by mail, It il
an excellent plan before deciding on
a pattern to look at the "lay-out" Of
the pattern sections, which are Rener-
ally pictured ON the envelope, as an
aid in the Identification Of the differ
ent pieces. II is then possible 10
mentally compare the shape and re-
lative size of the sections with the
ripped sections of the garment to be
remodeled and obtain some idea as To
whether they can be utilized.

STATE BOARD WARNS
MEASLES DANGEROUS

Because il is such q common dis
ease, many people are under the i'm
preston that IL is q simple and harm
less infection, but this is . very mis-
taken impression when you know IL
actually kills more people than scarlet
fever or small pox.
This is one Of the oldest ailments
with which men have been afflicted.
The writings of the ancient Arabian
physicians are replete with mention Of
this disease.
Measles is highly contagious. You
have seen fire thoughtlessly started
in field of dry grass; you know how
quickly it blazes up and sprads III
every direction A measles epidemic
spreads in much the same way; it
burns itself out whenever all suscep-
tible exposed persons have had it.
II has another important peculiarly
for about four days before the rash
appears, the only symptoms are those
of bad cold, nose running. eyes red
and swollen, sneezing and coughing
and usually little fever. 1t is this
period, so often overlooked, that is
the most contagious. The germ is
then discharged from the nose and
mouth of the patient mingling with
others, particularly indoors. AS he
coughs and sneezes, he fills the air
with spray Of germ laden material
The victim inhales it and gets the dis
ease If he has not had it before.
Measles spares practically no one
who has not had il. Measles often
leads to pneumonia which is the most
common and dangerous complexities,
especially in young children.
The best way to avoid complication
Is to go to bed without delay when the
frst cold symptoms appear and stay
there until the fever is gone. The SER
ious complications usually get their
start in the first few days, tho they
may not become evident until after
the rash appears. "Early to bed" for
every measles patient will mean the
saving Of q great many lives.
Every case Of measles Is to be re-
ported to the health officer Just -
soon as it is discovered. He can dc
nething to prevent the spread Of the
disease until he knows where the cases
are. II a doctor is called, he does the
reporting-otherwise, the report muss
be made Immediately by the he'd Of
TIE household IN which the case sp-
pears. M issr ~
There are six points which we wish
you to remember.
1. Measles is most contagious be-
fore the rash appears.
2. The germ is in the nose and
throat discharge.
3; The disease is most contagious in
little children. f9is -
.. To avoid complications, get to
bed when you first suspect you have
measles and stay there until the dis
ease is gone.
5. Every case must be reported to
the health officer.
8. Do not expose others to measles.
