BY MIMI.
Just a Eaby Habit.

"Well. for Heavens sake. should
say not" Myra was indignantly We
hement. LET my mother read my
letters?-not while I'm conscious.
That's a baby habit I've outgrown,
thank you. / had final argument
with her about it last year, ana we
both understand perfectly now lhat
my letters are my own personal AFFAIR.
and not to be read by mother as IL
she were a censor"
All the girls agreed with Myra's
view and laughed at Phyllis. aged
Is, who had admitted shame-face dly
that she read all her letters aloud TO
a sympathetic and sensible mother.
Phyllis was persuaded by the
general razzing that she'd been eight
different kinds of a fool to allow
mother such unwarranted liberties
with her personal correspondence.
She decided that she, too, must
; outgrow this baby habit. Even If
mother didn't insist on reading the
letters, she usually asked Phyl to
read them aloud to her. How d1d
she get that way, Phyl wondered in
the light of her friends experiences.
So she went home and raised the
roof about her privileges as 16-year-
, she won her point
Perhaps three months later she
met Tony Baxter from Princeton.
Tony was what is known as a slick
customer He though Phyllis was a
cute kid-that was all.
AS soon as he got back to college
he began to burn up sheets of paper
writing the most fervid nonsense to
little Phyllis.
Flattered and thrilled and excited,
she carefully kept the letters from
mothers Watchful eye. She ate up
every word of them.
She read them to herself and her
imagination made more out of them
than they contained.
She replied fervently. ardent1y,
Blinded with romance, she proceeded
to make a fool of herself over Tony
Baxter. who, being rather a pig,
showed several of her letters around,
and chuckled over the child's infatu-
alton for him.
In the Christmas holidays he
treated his fiuttering schoolgirl
cruelty. She was wild with misery
and despair when she learned that he
was rushing Dorothy Nash, one of
her best enemies, and had actually
shown that amused young lady some
of Phyllis glowing epistleS.
Phyllis suffered tortures of humili-
alton and shame. But her mistake
is a natural and a common one.
That's where the value of letting
a wise mother in on your love letters
can be seen.
For, even though she does come
from a stuffy old generation, the
cagey mother has lived long enough
to have heard few love letters in
her day, and is very apt to see
through an insincere expression of
sentiment.
She can often set you right after
she's heard one or two letters from
the big blue-eyed hero who is making
your heart flutter wildly.
The baby habit of giving mother
the low-down on your private mail
isn't so dumb. 1t often saves the
modern maiden from rushing out to
make a fool of herself over the first
man who grows affectionate on paper
If your mother is kind and sympa-
thetic, it won't damage your prestige
to let her hear about your correspond
ence.

INSTALLMENT XIII.
Helen's Efforts Rewarded.

There was flushed radiance about
Helen. Blushing adorably, she was,
as she felt her husbands gaze. But
for the life of her she could not
articulate. All the pretty speeches
she had practiced eluded her. Her
long, dark brows andA dark lashes
gave a peculiar vividness to her eyes.
They held Crane speechless. The
uneXpectedness of this made his brain
whirl. Here was q woman attractive
enough to hold any mans glances-
and she was his wife.
He could not at first think clearly
about it; his mind seemed to be in
such a confused tumble Of contra
dictory reactions and impulses. His
face was a study in mixed emotions.
1t was not across 10 feet of floor that
Crane looked at his Wife---it was
across the enormous gap of barren
years that his eyes met bers. He
realized that he had done NOTHING
more than murmur a forcible ejaCu-
lation or two, that he was failing to
cope with his complexities. This
amazing revelation had certainly
pierced his selfabsorbed soul. 1t
certainly must have been the god
that looks after delinquent husbands

In the case of underweights the
simplest way to tighten the skin is
to build up the tissues beneath until
the normal weight has been reached.
Flabby skins, however, are often on
faces OF women who do not need to
gain weight. Their problem is to
smooth out the skin with astringents
and tone up to facial muscles so that
they will have greater elasticity.
A simple facial pack or compress
that will be found refreshing and
beneficial to such types of skin is
composed Of a mask of clean absorb
ent cotton, saturated with a mild
astringent lotion and laid over the
face. Before applying the pack, how
ever, the skin should be cleansed with
cold cream. Wipe off the cream.
Plain witch hazel may be used, but
here is a good recipe that may suit
some skins better: Five grains pow
dered tragacanth, six minims tincture
benzoin, six minims alcohol, two drams
glycerin of boraX, six ounces of rose
water. Have the ingredients well
blended and squeeze out the cotton
pad in the resulting liquid. Lie down
with eyes closed and cover your face
with the wet cotton, leaving only
lips and nostrils exposed. Relax all
over for 10 or Is minutes and then
remove the cotton. This Treatment
may be taken twice a week or when
ever you wish to freshen and smooth

My Neighbor Says:

Vanilla is the only f1avoring
that should be cooked in candy.
All others are added after the
candy has been taken from the
fire so that the flavor may not
be lost.
Grated raw carrots, grated
raw young beets, grated yellow
or white turnips, thinly sliced
or chopped onions make de-
lie Gus salads.
To whip cream, have it thor
oughly cold. Heavy or double
cream is very quickly whipped
and should not be beaten a min
ute too long.
Gilt frames can be cleaned
with the white of an egg gently
rubbed on with a camelS hair
brush.
Raised bread should not begin
to brown until it has been in the
oven 10 or Is minutes. 1t should
be baked an hour and be a rich
brown at the end of that tine.
To test an oven in which cake
is to be baked, place a piece of
white paper in the oven. If too
hot, the paper will blacken or
burn up. If it is Il delicate
brown, the oven is right for pas
try; should it turn dark yellow,
cakes may be baked. and if only
light yellow, sponge cake or bis
cults may be put in at once.

or firing day.
The same astringent lotion may be
used after the nightly cleansing of
the face at bedtime. and then it
should be patted on gently and
allowed to dry.
Regular facial massage that stimu-
lates the muscles and brings the
blood to the cheeks should be given
to flabby faces. The massage move
ments that are used may include a
long, gentle, upward, rotary motion
and a very delicate vibratory or slap
ping movement in the same direction.
A slight steaming with hot towels.
of course, precedes the application of
food cream and the massage. After
the massage an ice rub or an astrin-
gent lotion should be used.

TRY THIS BETTER
BREAKFAST
A real improvement on oatmeal

To most people "hot cereal" has
always meant oatmeal. They thought
no one could improve on oatmeal.
But those people are rapidly chang
ing. They have found a delicious new
hot cereal-a cereal that combines all
the qualities Of oats-plus the tempt
ing favor and added food elements Of
ripe, golden whole wheat, including
the bran. It is Kellogg g New Data.
New Data is a blend Of oats and
whole wheat, including the bran-a
perfectly balanced food. The Kellogg
Company has combined the individual
goodness of both these grains - all
their glorious flavor and made a
new delightful food. The combination
makes New Data unsurpassed for
healthfulness and favor.
New Data is delightfully."- easy and
simple to prepare. All you need do is
to boil it three minutes-then serve.
It never has the mushy, gluey body Of
ordinary oatmeal. New Data is always
light and fluffy in texture. Ask your
grocer for Kellogg's New Data.

RAAB, LITTLE DAUGHTER
OF HIR. AND MRS. PETER
SOLBERG, DIED TUESDAY

Death late Tuesday evening visited
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Pete Sol
berg, removing from the happy fam
lily circle little Raab, who had been
suffering for about six weeks from
leakage of the heart. The little girl
had been growing weaker for some
time and she quietly slipped away
after several days of resting. She
had apparently fully recovered from
an operation for appendicitis last fall
when an attack Of tonsilitis left her
with a weak heart.
The simple funeral from the home
on South Beaver street was held late
Wednesday afternoon. Many friends
Of the little girl and of the family
were present. Mrs. Alex Johnston
and Mrs. Durward Mckinney sang
Crock Of Ages" and members Of the
Pythian Sisters sang an anthem. At
the cemetery they sang abide with
Me" and few words We're read.
There were many beautiful floral of
ferings.
Always courteous and radiating
happiness, her gentle and busy little
personality viii be sadly missed b.
her little playmates, her teachers and
the people Of the neighborhood. Raab
was ten years old on the second OF
this month and she was born in Flag
staff. She was the third child Of this
fine family Of talented children and
leaves her parents and seven brothers
and sisters to grieve her passing.

Miss Mary G. Boyer and Chester r.

their prize, which they generously
shared with the losers, being a de-
licious cake made by Mrs. Grover

were enthusiastically encored solos
by Miss Selma Aas and Chester

Charleston as elucidated by Marvin
Heir, for all of which Mrs. Lorna Jes-
sup played the piano accompaniments.
The next dinner meeting will be
held at the Woman's club and as in
the past, the Rebekahs will serve. The
kindness of the Odd Fellows, who do
mated the use of their lodge rooms
for several months, is deeply appre-
ciated by the club. Guests were Miss

OIL, ETHICS AND RADIO
ROTARY TOPICS TUESDAY

r. M. Gassman, chairman for the
day, had dandy program at Ro-
tary Tuesday, and the bunch were
crammed full of music and informa-
ton.
President Mart Fronske opened the
ball and showed Reub off. The lat
ter started by having Miss Selma
Aas sing, with Miss Elsa Myers at
the piano. The selection was, Little
Grey Home in the West" and later
there was another, Mother Ma
chree." Everybody knows the songs
were good.
Bert Cameron, in a service talk on
oil, gave a lot Of interesting infor-
nation. In the early SOS they began
drilling in the east for brine. In
1929 they struck oil. Awful nuisance!
They didn't want oil at all, but it
was very close to the surface and
they got it unexpectedly. They kept
getting it, at depths from so to 500
feet and were really nauseated with
their bad luck until a Pittsburgh
druggist bought some to put up as
medicine.
That's the way it went, always
getting it and never wanting it. In
1852 there was so much there was
no market for it. From the Pennsyl-
vania fields alone they had a million
barrels too much in 1862.
Then in 1876, d.. Otto of Cologne.
Germany, made himself a gas engine.
Pretty soon demand began catching up
with the supply Now you all know
what the price IS.
Ed Miller gave fine talk on the
philosophy of Rotary and the con-
stantly growing tendency to give bet
ter service in line with the realiza-
tion that the individual or concern
that serves best profits most.
Art Riordan's talk was about ra-
dios-the relative values of the bet
ter makes, which he said, are about
equal in value-and the superiority
of loop over aerial reception. Even
to the person who is not a radio fan,
his talk was full of interest.
Bill Hall of Los Angeles played
several selections on his accordion.
He has the thing under absolute CON
troll and it performs for him to per-
fection. Bill used to carry it around
the Orpheum circuit. Now, with Doc
Williams local orchestra he's going
to help make our dance music even
more synchronic and peppy.
Claude Quebedeaux, head of the
Flagstaff Winslow Holbrook light
and power utilities, was the only
visiting Rotarian. He was accompan-
led by two auditors from Los
Angeles, Messrs. Breslin and Battles,
here for the company. Other guests:

ton of the high school, Arthur Nc
Intyre of the forest service, Ben

CAR BANDITS JAILED HERE
WITH GIRL COMPANIONS.
HELD FOR FEDERAL COURT

Edward Mayer and Donald Fore
man of Los Angeles arrested here
last week with their two girl COM
panions, with whom they came here
from Los Angeles after the men held
up woman of that city and took her
Hudson coach, were bound over to
federal court by u. S. Commissioner
Tom L. Rees on two counts each
violation of the Mann act and the
Dyer act--bail being fixed at $4,000
man. The girls were held under
$500 bond each as material witnesses
and the four taken to Prescott to
await trial.
The girls, Dorothy Stahl, 18, Of
Denver, and Winifred Buell., 20, of
Colorado Springs, apparently enjoyed
their two or three days in Jail here.
They left numerous drawings on the
walls of their cell, the work being
done in colored crayon, and really
we'll done. There were portraits of
themselves, one of "Jiggs" and their
own cards, on each Of which it was re-
cited that they were material wit
nesses for misconduct"
In the account of their arrest in The
Sun last week it was noted that the
quartctte were taken from the Com
mercial hotel, where they had regis
tered as married. Their removal
from the hotel was at the instance of
the management, which had discover
cd that they were not married.
