against the British military stations
at Fort Detroit and elsewhere, and
against the British army now in

Sacred Coral.

The only use, that the little coral
animal finds. aside from making a
good roadbed in Florida, is when he
is strung on a necklace. Only the
Mediterranean coral is of any great
beauty, and long before Christian
times 1t was used for jewelry. Gauls
wore 1t in their helmets. Then. about
the time of the birth of Christ, the
spice trade with India carried coral to
the land of the Hindus. 1t was i'm.
mediately loved and venerated, and
was believed to cure all sickness and
keep off the bad wishes of enemies.
So high a price was set on 1t in India
that the Mediterranean could scarcely
supply the demand. and it was almost
unknown in the land where it was
produced. The superstition crept back
to the countries Of coral, and to this
day coral Is worn in Italy to keep off
the evil eyes
Now, what do you know about that?

What Keeps Trouble Going2

Ever notice how long the bad ef-

Ever notice that even after the
1 grand reconciliation scene, there are
apt to be aeid remarks from time.,t to

doesn't the beautiful business of max.

| Usually, I'm afraid, because of the

She gets in an awful stew about

of her.
He gets angry, too, and they fight

Il deny it,
And for while everything is quite
rosy.
Then the girls mind begins to work.
That's the trouble. If only more OF
US were totally unconscious, we'd be
much better off in the long run.
She suddenly asks herself: II Won

wrong? That was AN awfully mean
thing he said to me. II / thought for
a minute he really meant 1t, I'd never

She decides privately she was too
| darn d-natured--that she should
have wrung an honest apology from
him, not Just a blanket statement
which let him out too easily.
So the next time he comes to spend
a pleasant evening, she ever so cas-
| ually breaches the subject.
| John, dear, / got to thinking
about our quarrel the other night.

"Sure was" he responds, with

However. the little girl friend has

Burning of the Books.

In a radio health talk delivered by
Miss Margery Quigley. former presi-
dent sof the New York Library Asso-
citation, under the auspices Of the New
York State Health Department, / find
this suggestion:
Some well meaning friend suggests
a food fad or urges you to take up
this or that method of training your
nerves or your liver or some other
part of your body. Don't take this
kind of advice offhand. Your doctor
or your library will tell you whether
such methods fall under the designa-
ton of quackery or not. Libraries
can't afford to spend money for books
unless they are recognized by the
best authorities. There are many ex-
cellent books on all phases Of the
health question. Your. librarian will
help you to select them"
Yet a good deal of the pseudo scien-
tific literature" of modern quackery
may be found IN the average public
library, and great many public H..
braries do not have the best CO.
temporary health literature when one
asks for it. However, this suggestion
is a good one. You are likely to find
real help in the public library. There
are great many good physicians
who are not informed about such lit
erature and cannot advise or help a.
patron as well as the librarian can.
Another paragraph in Miss Quig-
ley's radio talk is not so good. As
though this we're about the middle
age this librarian favors the burning
of the books when the books really
deserve no such fate:

Choosing Bedspreads.

All sorts of covers are used for
beds. Lately the sturdy cover of
stout, decorative material has be-
come popular. If you pick out such
q material for your. bedspreads you
will probably want it to match over
draperies, wallpaper or other fur
nishings. Both housewives and in
terror decorators have found that
cotton or silk velours, upholsterer' s
satins, sunfasts, damasks, reps and
heavy sateens are entirely suitable
for this use.
If you wish to buy good material
of lasting quality and yet you can't
AFFORD to pay for fancy trimmings,
you may purchase something plain
and put these on later. A couple
OF bands of taffeta or satin of con-
trasting colors, stitched fiat around

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Night Owl Babies.

This plea for the babies was in
spired by letter which I received
from a father recently. This father
has occasion to be away from home a
lot and spends his lonesome evenings
at the movies" He is seeing and de-
ploring constantly the numbers of
babies and very young children who
are dragged to the movies at night
with the parents. What can be done
about 1t?
One has to realize that there are
two sides to every question and the
side of recreation for the harassed
and tired mother is not to be over
looked; but-and this is a great huge
'but--the baby comes first. Babies
cannot be expected to become ac-
customed to good and restful sleep
when one or several evenings of their
week is spent in the heat and din of a
movie palace. Sometimes babies do
sleep-but ii isn't a restful sleep,
dressed in their full attire and on the
hard and inevitably hot lap Of one or
the other Of their parents. Also, and
this must be considered, the excitment
incident on such adventures will make
the baby wakeful when he Is in bed.
and then the tired mother wonders
why he won't sleep.
Small children are aroused to a
pitch Of excitement by the movies"
that is anything but conductive to
restfuI slumber. Such excitements
should never precede the bed hour;
they may be directly responsible for
night terrors of which the nervous
and highly-strung child is frequently
a victim.
Whatever pleasure the mother gets
out of evenings at the cinema she
pays for dearly in the health Of her
child. his increased nervousness, ir.
ritability and wakefulness. 1t would
be far better for her to exchange
places with some neighbor and offer to
take care of her sleeping babies for
one evening week so that each may
enjoy an evening free from care and
the worry that they are making their
children suffer for their pleasure.
