Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. Four-wheel brakes have perhaps helped to lessen the severity of many accidents, though they do not seem to have greatly t4creased their num- Der.
 A. A. Mowbray of the National Safety Council has pointed out a perfect system of traffic signals, with police officers at every busy corner, which will do much for safe ty. But these things have no ad- vantage If an automobile with a drunken driver speeds through the warning signal section.
 1000 Hurt Daily
 There is evidence that more than 1000 persons are i: iured by auto mobiles every day in the United States, and that at least one-third of these are under 15 years of age. In most instances, the pedestrian is in jured, rather than the driver.
 Statistics show that most of the traffic accidents occur between and | I p. m., that more than half of them take place at street corners, but that more than GO per cent of pedestrians are ''Nju ed while cross ing in the middle of the block.
 The most dangerous driver is the one who contests the right of way, whD tries to pass the street car on the opposite track. who drives on the wrong side and who disregards safe- ty zones.
 Child and Adult
 The child who dashes out into the street to recover some plaything. the timid woma who goes half way (across and then changes her mind Ithe absent-minded citizen who reads This paper in the middle of a busy street are special types who con- stantly tease the fool-killer.
 Engineers who have studied this problem have foul that the most important factors in preventing street accidents are engineering re. vision of streets. t. make vision clear and room sufficient; regulation oi the traffic and enforcement of the traffic laws, so that both the motor. ist and the pedestrian may know what to expect when moving about and education of motorists and pc. destrians to dangers and how tc avoid them.

 Adele GarrisOn's New Phase of
Revelations Of c Wife

You darling old fossil" she ex- claimed. T see it all and it takes all the mad out No wonder you were hol md on one foot with the iii a plaster cast. You though l. use l called Mr. Leslie Jack quoted some of his opinions and got sore when you slammed him, that I must have been meeting him every day for weeks and must be madly in love with him. Wake up Auntie Madge! The bus is going by, and it won't wait for you. Remember we'/s liv- ing in the year of our Lord 1926. Girls and boys don't wait until they've worked side by side for three years before they drop the Mister and Miss thing. Life's too short nowadays for useless words. So we've called cath other Jack and Mary ever since that first morning in the park. And as for meeting him today is the fourth time I've seen him, including that first one. He likes this park the same as l do that's all. And every time he's just happened to run into me. But he's mighty interesting egg, no mat ter what he may have done to sour Uncle Dicky and you on him."
 Watching the Lizard
 My spirits shot up as quickly as they had gone down. had forgot ten the almost incredible laxity of old fashioned decorum among the young people Of today, a freedom of speech which is no true index of the real relations of the people using the preposterous phrases.
 I did not doubt Mary's word. There had been but the four acci- dental meetings. l was sure, and hoped that the influence of the youth over her was as ephemeral as the anger which had swayed her when I had criticized him. Of one thing, however, l was sure, the meetings were no accident upon the part of Jack Leslie. He had plan ned them adroitly and would no doubt engineer more. 1 must figure out some plan of thwarting him.

the way for him with Nanny.
 Now it just happened that Che of the lf-grown children of Ring neck the Pheasant happened along that way. Young Ringneck was out in the Great World and very proud of it. He had perfect faith in his ability to pick up a living. His bright eyes, which were very sharp eyes, looked this way and that way in search of good eating. Many a worm and insect and many plump seed those bright eyes discovered and his stout bill picked up. Despite this, he was still hungry. In fact, he had an extra good appetite that day.
 It was just by chance that young Ringneck found that little path | through the grass. It was a good place to walk and so he followed it.. Presently tho9I sharp eyes of his frightened. Ahead of him, lying in the path, was a little worm. Never had he seen one just like it before, but he was sure it was worm. He hurried forward. Just before reach ing it he stopped. He cooked his | head on one side and studied that worm.
 q never saw one like that be- fore" said he to himself, but when I'm hungry all worms look alike to me"
 Just then Danny Meadow Mouse, who was dreaming. twitched hls funny little short tail. Young Ring neck saw it. He saw the tail move. That settled any doubt there might have been in young Ringnock' g mind. He would have that worm before it had a chance to get away. He took a step forward and swift " picked up that tempting little worm.
 Now, no two people have yet agreed which was the most sur prised-Danny Meadow Mouse or young Ringneck-when the latter picked up what he thought was a worm. He dropped it as quickly as he had picked it up, but he had pinched it good and hard. so hard that 1t had made Danny squeal, The instant he was dropped, he took to his heels.
 Young Rtngneck looked quite up- set Then, as Nanny Meadow Mouse pokcd her head out of her doorway and inquired what the trouble was he tried to look disnined. "It is queer thing to me-" said he, how careless some people can be. If had tail I thought anything of wouldn't leave it around where other folks would be likely to ster on it."

 T wish we didn't have Mary Honey Lou complained to Jack on cold crisp December morning. T could do all my housework in two hours myself"
 "Well, you aren't going to-" Jack came back at her firmly. T didn't marry you to put you to work for me. I'm the one that's going to do the work in this family" In way was fun not to have anything to do. It was fun to meet Angela and Suzanne down town and go Christmas shopping with them.
 It seemed like dream come true to be able to walk into Sa- | pines luxurious tea-room and order what she wanted, and sign her name at the bottom of the check. To buy fresh violets at the shop where Angela bought hers, and tell the clerk to charge them to Mrs. Jack Wallack, junior," and then walk out with them!
 She opened charge account at The Powder Box, the clever little beauty shop where Angela went to have her nails manicured and her hair washed.
 She went there two afternoons week to have her own healthy hair washed and treated with sweet-smelling lotions, to have her nails polished until they shone like pink glass, to have cold cream rubbed into a skin that certainly l did not need cold cream.

 In the kitchen Mary. the new cook, was hard at work cooking the first dinner in the new flat. Mary Delaney had been The Heads cook until a year ago. Then she had left because of words that she had with Grumpy. But The Head had forgiven her and sent her to Honey Lou.
 She was fat and alkative-much too talkative.
 But her striped dresses were crisp and clean and she settled down into the kitchen of the flat as If she had worked there all her life.
 "'Tis grand place you have, Mig Wallack," she told Honey Lou that afternoon as she passed through the hallway to answer the doorbell. Everything of the best, and if you're not happy here tis your own fault, I'm saying"
 "But, of course, I'm going to be happy here," Honey Lou answered.
 Mary sniffed. Don't you be too sure." she said gloomily. None of the young snips that's getting married nowadays Is happy. The last place where I worked was at MT. Jim Clemens house-and that little wife of his. That little Mrs 1 Suzanne"

Late one afternoon she walked into Sabine's to buy some cakes to take home with her and bumped into Margret.
 Margret looked blue and un- happy. You're going to come home with me-" Honey Lou told her. I've scarcely seen you since I got married and I have millions of things to tell you. Jacks work ing late tonight and it'll be like old times.
 She could not wait to take her hat off when they got home, but ran excitedly about, showing Mar gret all her treasures. Well have some tea in the sun-room. Mary" she said, putting her head in at the kitchen door, My sister, Miss Moody's here, and she's going to stay and have sup per with me-"
 Every now and then Honey Lou forgot and said Supper" instead of dinner" Mrs. Huntley had al- ways called the evening meal sup per-" as they had on the southern plantation where she had been born and brought up.
 What are you so blue about, anyway" she asked Margret, when she came back into the sun- room For Margret was sitting on the long cushioned seat that ran along under the windows, staring down moodily into the street be- low.
 Nothing" she said, looking up.
 ''Is it Steve--is Steve treating you rough or something?" Honey Lou went on. But Margret shook her head.
 'No,' she answered, still look ing down into the violet twilight that covered Dulcimer street. No, it's just-everything. I know I ought to be happy. I have a good job and everything that l need. But, don't you know, Honey Lou, a woman wasn't born to live out all her days in an office"
 She raised her head and looked around the sun-room, with its cheerful flowers and its bright cushions. and the love birds in their cage.
 T suppose I'm going to be an old maid, and l ought 10 make up my mind to it," she said tensely. But can't. I'd marry almost any man who came along and offered me a roof over my head and a meal a day. Just for tho sake of having a home and some babies of my own"

 It was Mary's turn to vince when I told her that if I could not in- terpret her furious speech as being the result of an unhinged mind. l must rescind by opinion of her as a thoroughbred with fair play as one of her tenets. I could have said nothing more cutting to her, for she brides herself upon her sportsman ship. The angry flush faded from her face, leaving a pallor which frightened me for the second. Then, admirably for a girl so young, she pulled herself together, and an- swered me. .....
 q suppose you are right, Auntie Madge," she said slowly, but though there was acknowledgement of her fault in the glance she sent me, there was none of her usual friend Illness, and my spirits made hur- ried descent, while my anger flam- cd hot against Jack Leslie.
 Tt is horrid and unsportsmanlike for me to speak that way of MT. Veritzen without giving him a chance to disprove the things Jack Leslie said of him." she went on after a pause. But" with a touch of her old impotence, T don't hear any loud apologies from your cor ner for the things you said about Jack"

Danny Meadow Mouse was sitting in the grass beside one of the tiny little paths of Nanny Meadow Mouse. He was quite hidden In that grass. Nothing was to be seen of him from the path but his fun ny little short tall, which was stick ing out right in the path. You know, Danny had left that tail out there on purpose. He was planning to bleak the news of his homecoming to Nanny Meadow Mouse little by little, and he thought the best way to do it would be for her to discov- CT his tail first. Perhaps Danny wasn't thinking of Nanny altogeth- CT. I don't know anything about it, but perhaps he was thinking that if Nanny should discover that tail he might have a chance to find out just how she felt about hlm without having to face her. You see, he wasn't at all certain how well come he would be after having been away all summer.
 Now Danny was very tired, for you know he had done a lot or travelling. It was very quiet and peaceful there. Dam began to doze. Two or three times his eyes almost closed, only to be opened hurriedly. But at last they did close and remained closed. Danny was taking a nap and out in the little path lay Danny's funny little short tail. It was a short tail too. Some- times Danny had been ashamed of that short tail. Sometimes he had been envious of his cousins with long tails. Many a time he had ad- mired the long slim tail of White foot the Wood Mouse, and the even longer tail of Nimbleheels the Jumping Mouse. But now he was quite satisfied with that little short tail. You see. he hoped that little tall was going to be sort of an am bassador for him. Ambassador is g big word, isn't it? But it's meaning is quite simple. It means some one who smooths the way for you. Dan. ny hoped that his tail would smoott

 Hmm" She made little grunt in her throat as her eyes took in the rainbow hued floor pill curtains and the vases and bric-a- brac.
 Don't you like it?" asked Honey Lou, anXiously, as she led her from room to room.
 The Head shook her magnifi- cent head. T suppose I'm oldfash- ioned," she said with little smile. But it looks like an Italian street fair to me. All such stuff" She scornfully picked up a powder box from Honey Lou's dressing table.
 It was pale blue box, and when the cover was taken from it, it played piece of music.
 Angela gave that to me-" Honey Lou told her, land Angela helped me furnish my house. She knew I wouldn't know what to buy"
 Tt looks to me as if you'd bought out all of down town," The Head retorted. "But if you like it and it suits Jack, that's all that's nee essary."
 It did suit Jack. Man-like, he knew nothing Of house furnishings and the cozy rooms with their deer soft rugs and easy chairs ant cheerful-looking lamps suited hin, down to the ground.
 Then, on the first of November the bills started to come in. Every morning when Mary brought Honey Lou her breakfast there were bills on the tray under the coffee pot.
