THE ART OF DRIVING ONE s1 OF A
By Ralph De Palma OFTEN

By Ralph De Palma

wv JVoe w dOxUbCS
"HE question of steering. apar,
from the fact that it is of pri-
mary Importance, is closely con-
nected with the enjoyment Of driv-
ing, particularly for those who are
riding as passengers, and its effect
on cost is usually ignored.
The ideal is to keep the car as near
ly as possible on direct course.
This is, in fact, impossible, but in
order to approach the ideal all curves
should be taken gradually, and con-
sequently smoothly. A sudden change
in a lateral direction puts additional
and high stress on the tires and
springs, and tends to throw the pas
sengers to one side. Any way
whereby a car may be steered evenly
is therefore to be sought after and
adopted.
Even driving can be done best by
thinking and acting in advance. For
example, suppose a driver is over
taking another car. If he delays ac-
ton until he is close behind the other
he must, in order to pass, make q
sharp turn OF the wheel. This will
place an unnecessary load on the walls
of the tires, will disturb the passen-
gers and will be very dangerous,
lnless he happens to know that the
.oad ahead is clear. On the other
n..nd, if, instead of running up within
4 few yards of the other car, he had
begun to steer towards the of side
;ome forty yards or so from it, the
.urve would have been quite smooth,
he passengers would hardly have
elt change in direction, and the
iriver would have seen clearly
whether or not his road ahead was
,lesr. This same principle applies in
, greater OF less degree to all move
nents of the steering wheel.

Heart Disease.

The statistics issued by the Ameri-
can Heart Association are astounding
They give as a conservative estimate
that over 100000 persons In the
United States suffer from serious
heart disease: that one and one-half
60 two per cent of the children eX-
emined in the schools show serious
heart effects.
Heart disease is now the greatest
single cause of death in the United
States. More people die from heart
disease than from cancer.
Yet because your heart flutters or
you feel it beat or you can't get your
breath, don't get excited and think
yAu have heart disease. Don't worry
for fear the next breath will be your
last. There Is not a single sensation
associated with real heart disease
which may not be caused by some
other disorder Only diagnosis by
a competent physician can determine
the cause.

Wrappings May Add Value to Gifts
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

The way gifts are done up has so
much to do with the seeming value
that it is important to find out the
most attractive methods. A very sim
pie article given a distinctive wrap
ping appears to be worth double it's
actual cost. In fact. / know an art
list who dresses up her gifts in such
whimsical fashions. or with such
touches of real beauty that those who
receive the presents value the wrap
pings almost, and often quite, as
much as the articles themselves. To
be sure, she has won fame and any
strokes of her brushes are priced.
However, it only goes to show that
doing up of parcels can be made an
art.
WhSn gifts are taken to hostesses,
or st as after-visit appreciations,
this idea of attractive wrappings can
be put to excellent use. These gifts
are not intended to emphasize in
trinsic value, but friendlinesS. They
may be quite simple. Most of them
are, though occasionally they verge
on the costly. They should be de-
lightfully appropriate, very novel or
whimsical. If they can be reminders
of some particularly felicitous good
time that took place during a visit,
their merit is found. They tickle the
fancy. Provide for such gifts just
the right wrappings and they are
tinged with the quality of perfection.
But do not be content with attrac-
tive wrappings alone. See that the
gift when disclosed exhibits the same
touch of beauty or distinction. A
handkerchief may seem to be a treas
ure when 1t decks the debutante
dolly known equally well to you as
Miss Dolly Handkerchief. Remember
if you want one Of the dollies to dress
you can have it free by sending a
self-addressed and stamped envelope
to me, with a request. Directions ac-
companying it for making and for
dressing her.

ception, the child who drinks tea
or coffee does not grow normally.
AS a rule the young person who cul-
| tivates the tobacco habit suffers re-
tarded growth. Children who do
not get sufficient direct sunlight on
| the naked skin are likely to remain
| underheight. Boys and girls in their
teens who cultivate late hours gen.
[ orally show retarded growth. The
young person who hits the hay regu-
larly at 10 o'clock in the Winter and
not later than 1890 Summer nights
is most likely to attain full stature.
There are certain disturbances of
ductless glands which may produce
stunting or excessive growth. These
cases come within the field of path
ology and can be dealt with by the
family physician.
| That Uncle Bill Or Aunt Emma is
| long or short is no reason why
child should take after" the ex-
| traordinary relative. Heredity is a
minor factor, except that the general
average stature of offspring will be
| the same as that of the families of
| the parents.
Commonly neglected conditions
| which retard growth, besides impair
| ing nutrition in other respects. are
nasal obstruction (mouth breathing)
from chronic rhinitis, sinusitis.
polyps in nose, foreign body lodged
| in nose. enlarged tonsils or enlarged
| adenoid body.
Adequate physical training-a part
of education which too many young
persons are permitted to dodge-has
been found to favor growth in sta
ture. Boys and girls in their teens
who receive proper physical educa-
ton attain from two to three inches
greater height than boys and girls
who are less fortunate in their
schooling. The rigid or severe dis
cipline and physical training in mill
tary institutions brings about an in
crease in height. The namby-pam
by pampering of boys and girls in
the common schools rather tends to
retard growth.
