poses that the Government or perhaps
the Red Cross should reprint the
articles in this column, and distribute
them broadcast in pamphlet form-as
though any such circulation could
compare with the circulation the

stant Reader" goes on TO say how
much he enjoys the articles, how
much he has learned from them, and
so forth. He adds, however, that he
has been unable to grasp the reason
for changing the name Of the common
cold to "coryZa" and finally to 'cri. >
He feels sure the symptoms are the
same and that one can feel as badly
with the same disease under any
name.
Since Constant Reader" is anony-

II Don't Want People to Laugh

at Me-"
"No, simply won't learn to dance"
Dorothy was firm on that poirt. "Peo.
pie will see me and think I look per.
fectly ridiculous. I don't want peo-
pie to laugh at me-"
And that, be it said, is Dorothy's
principle in life.
She refuses to do anything which
she feels may cause some people to
ridicule her. and so she is learning
hing-accomplishing nothing-for
there has never been a successful per-
son in the world who hasn't been
laughed at during some period Of his
career.
June was quite a different person
from Dorothy. June loved doing imi.
tations of famous stage stars-she
enjoyed fmprovising new dance steps
and trying them out on her friends
and. of course. the unkind element of
her set said she made a fool OF her
self-that she appeared ridiculous.
But June didn't care hoot for their
merry laughter. She went straight
ahead, and today she has become IA
nous on Broadway, and the boys and
girls who laughed at her are falling
over each other in their efforts to see
her again and remind her of old ac-
Quaintance.
Dorothy will never in the world
make a success like that. She can't
bear the slightest giggle at her eX-
pense, and 80 she is losing out in
every way
She won't learn to swim-says she
knows people are mocking at her
when they see her feeble efforts in the
water.
She liked to read and write a bit
once, but was afraid to take up too
seriously the thought of being a
writer. because when she talked to
her friends about 1t the boys hooted at
her and thought it an uproarious joke
that Dot should develop into a mem-
ber Of the intellectual set.
If Dot only knew it-she's being
laughed at just the same. Lots Of
people smile at her taking herself so
seriously-at the useless, purposeless
existence she leads in her effort to
arouse no ones ridicule.
When she wanted to go to business
her father and brothers shrieked at
the idea-they made humorous COM
up her ambition.
Whereas, If she'd taken up a secre-
tarial career. ignoring the gibes of her
family. she'd have lived to wave q fat
pay envelope in her fathers face and
laugh: There. call that nothing?
Were you earning that at my age?"
There are always unkind people
about to laugh at a beginners efforts.
But If you're going to pay attention
to them, you'll never start doing any
thing.
Ii you wanted to do something bad
ly enough--if it seems to you worth
while-go ahead and do 1t, no matter
how ludicrous a spectacle you may
appear to the onlookers.
When you've accomplished what
YOU set out to do, you'll find all the
Knockers lined up on your side of the
fence and roofing loudly for you.
The fear of ridicule has spoiled
many ambitions. many half-developed
talents, many good times.
Don't let it spoil yours.

of tea, either hot or cold. These are
good because Of the tannic acid in the
tea. Bathing the eyes with an eyecup
containing a weak solution of boracic
acid is a good way to make the eyes
bright, but l recommend it more for
cases where the tiredness is due to
travelling or to dirt in the eyes than
for headaches or general fatigue.
Closing the eyes for short time

electric needle would be advisable for

then continue to bleach the finer hair

second treatment will likely finish
them. The article you allude to Is a

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrows planetary aspects are
adverse until noon: thereafter, they
change and become distinctly favor
able, remaining 50 until sundown. In
the evening, they are unfavorable and
the vibrations are sluggish. During
the afternoon, Anything that savors
of constructive effort Is predestined
to success, especially along mechan-
ical or inventive lines. Agreements
or contracts can be executed, and it
is an exceptional opportunity for any
correspondence of an important char
acter. The rest of the day should be
spent as quietly as possible, all eX-
citement should be avoided. and only
duties Of routine character should
be prosecuted.
Children born tomorrow will suffer,
during infancy, from their ups and
downs" but, given proper care and
well-regulated alimentation. there is
no reason to despair Of physical nor
malcy. Tempermentally they will
leave much to be desired. They will
show little or no consideration for
others, and, unless checked. will grow
up to be selfish and selfseeking.
They sWill be evasive, and lack that
frankness and openness which SO
often breed forgiveness and command
admiration. They will be very pains
taking, quick to learn, and fond OF
study. 1t Is quite within the prob
abilities that they will attain success.
but, If so, 1t will not be surrounded
with that glamour that sanctifies the
success of those who have been un-
selfish and considerate.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are easily satisfied, as you lack am
bltion. You are stubborn. and cannot
see the value of an opponents IS logic
if it be opposed to your own particu-
lar brand. You are easily Influenced
| by externals and, although you set
no store on them for yourself, you
give an undue appreciation Of them
in others.
You possess a very high sense of
honor, and anything that is depart
ure from established usage or custom
| is anathema to you. Habits are
formed very quickly by you. and, once
| formed, they become a part OF your
religion, and are as Interchangeable as
the laws Of the Medes and Persians.
Your disposition Is affectionate. and
| as, owing to your nature, you never
make large mental demands on
others, your home life Is happy and
| you are contented.
Well-known persons born on that
date are: Stephen j. Field, Justice OF
the United States Supreme Court
James L. Alcorn, statesman; James
Douglas, mining engineer; Samuel NJ

many of the new things are just as

really quite in the spirit of the other

admit, though perhaps unwillingly,
that the little straight frock that
curved neither In nor out from shoul-

Now the new frocks follow the figure
with more or less closeness from
shoulders to hips. You feel that the
outline the frock follows is quite
straight and very youthful-other-
wise the effect of the closely nodded
