SPRINCTIME
BY ID. C. PEATTIE.
Spring Fires.

The newspapers bring reports OF
terrible fires in Massachusetts, Mary
land, Wisconsin, and many other
States. with great loss of life and de-
struction of property. Fires destroy
more timber every year in this coun-
try than people use. We talk about
the rapid way we are using up our
forests. If we only used them it would
not be so bad. But we burn them up.
1t is just as sensible to light your
cigarette with a hundreddollar bill as
to start a careless fire.
Some of our forest fires are started
accidentally, but more are started by
fools. There Is popular superstition
that it Improves" the land to burn it
off in Spring. This improvement con-
sists in burning off all the beautiful
little Spring flowers and leaving a
blackened waste behind it generally
singes or completely burns the laurel
and aZalea bushes, and it may easily
spread in n wind to a real forest and
destroy tens of thousands of dollars
worth of wood.
Even if no serious results follow
such fires, the humus in the
soil, which it has taken centuries
of leaf mold to create, is burned out in
a few minutes. In the place of our ma
tive wild flowers, which cannot leave
without humus, will come up ugly,
tough weeds.
AS I write this now, a fire is raging
in the woods not half a mile. away;
fortunately it is going to rain, other
wise nobody could now undo the crimi-
nal work of some careless person
nearby, which threatens not only
woodlands but nearby houses. Such
is the nature of the ''improvements"
wrought by starting Spring fires.

awhile and to complete some of her
education while in residence there.
SO she added the course at the Santa
Barbara State Normal School of Home
Economics. and then returned to
Berkeley to teach domestic science
for two years.
BY this time she had become serious
ly interested in foods, and 1917 found
her at Columbia, working for first

and here Miss HaWley spent three
years in her ward and diet kitchen
practically cloistered with the chill
dren she was studying. The result
of the experiment was to prove deH-
nitely that the little people need a
fixed amount of milk over and above
all other essentials of diet, larger
amount than most of them receive.
At the end of this period, Miss Haw-
ley went to the Food Research Founr
dation at Leland Stanford University,
and here in 1924. she took her Ph. d.,
coming to the bureau almost imme-
diately afterward.
Now she is taking the 1000 records
collected by the Bureau OF
Economics from IA States, and
is analyzing the food consumption
figures of the farm families studied,
and their types of diet. She is find
ing the very interesting fact in this
connection that considerably more
food is consumed by the food pro
ducers than by the average of the
rest of the population, although the
ma ajority of the farm diets are 10"
in certain nutrition elements. The
reasons for this are not yet clearly
defined, but are expected to include
larger percentages of waste as well as
larger actual consumption. DR.. Haw-
leys findings will be published by the
bureau when they are finished.

Sizing Up Your Spring Suit.

In order to size up your suit for
Spring YOU must know what size you
will most likely take. Many a woman
is vain enough to buy suit that
doesn't fit her, simply because she
wishes it did. If you are a stout
and you persist in buying a "happel
model" you're going to buy suit
with which you are apt to be disap-
pointed as you wear it. Don't believe,
on the other hand. that you must
necessarily select a suit in the size you
ordinarily take, as sizes and suits are
bound to vary.
Regular sizes are measured accord
ing to the bust measure, and for that
reason il takes a fairly we'll proper
toned woman to buy suit OF stock
which doesn't require alterations. The
regular sizes run from "a TO 44 inches
bust. The measurement should be
taken over the clothing which you
will wear with the suit.
Stout women are needless!y sensi
tive about their propC rtions. and some
of them actually resent being shown
stout sizes. They would rather crowd
uncomfortably into regular model
that doesn't fit them. In most stores
stout sizes are tactfully called stylish
stouts." These are made for women
who are large through the bust. They
come in sizes 421a to sag. They arr
so cut as to give extra length frop
the shoulder to the waistline. and they
are a great boon to the stout women.
Manufacturers have also designed
suits which are specially adaptable to
the short -waisted figure. If you have
such a figure, you'll find that your
suit sizes run in odd numbers from Al
to SO. This model is designed through
out to conform with the lines of

How About Your Back

How do you look from the back?
Does your hair grow nicely, and is
your neck smooth and without wrin-
kles? Is the skin fine and firm and
clear color? The back view is so i'm
portant, yet few women bother much
about it.
The hair, for instance. The one
great thing the bob and the various
kinds of shingles have done Is to
make heads look as neat in back as
in front. The style is valuable, if only
because it has done away with wispy
ends that draggled down the neck, and
with clasps that never clasped the
hair properly and that hung in lop-
sided fashion in a loose way in the
back A good hairdresser will make
the head look round where it is fiat,
slim where it is short, attractive where
it is plain.
In Paris there is a new trick in
shingling, which has just come in.
They are tired of combing the hair
slantwise in back, 50 they comb it all
to the center of the back, where the

mother and father think of the whole

YOU see Diana, the girl, is on the

Old Guard, can't think of allowing
thelr sons connection with the drama
They are living in the West, and
when he wrote telling them frankly
all there was to be told they were

had planned such big things for him
ne was to take his place at the head
of big business--he was to have
beautiful homes in New York, Paris
ana London. His wife was to be
chosen from among the best families
of America. And now he's announced
his intention of wedding just a little
insignificant nobody.
When the old folks recovered from
the shock, they wrote him a letter
! that burned the pages it was written
on.
They assured him they'd never
speak to him again if he took the
step. that he'd be summarily dismissed
from the job he's holding, that they'd
never be able to hold up their heads
again.
He had sent them picture of Di-
ana, which they returned unopened
This, in spite of the fact that he told
them she is the very finest type of
girl.
Now. he wants to know how to an
swer their letter. He is hurt and an
CRY. He wants to tell them bitter
things. Is it wise?
No. it isn't wise, Dudley You've
got to remember that your parents
are old, and their views are naturally
narrow.
You've got to try to make them feel
better about the whole thing. If you
write them in anger. you'll not only
antagoniZe them further. you'll hurt
them deeply.
Why not try a different tack? Why
not write, saying that you're deeply
grieved to have caused them so much
suffering? Say that you can. in
measure. understand their point of
view, but that they must realize you
haven't done this deliberately to hurt
them.
Tell your father that you've always
held him as a model of fairness and
tried in every way to emulate his eX
ample: that you know he will consider
this question from every angle be
fore he takes any definite action.
i Write that you can't understand the
pictures being unopened. since that
would indicate they hadn't given Di-
ana fair chance-they hadn't even
looked to see whether her face showed
the lack of character they suspect.
Make your letter sound as though
YOU expected IA parental blessing in
the next mail. Appeal to your fathers
sense Of fair play. and hand him all
the bouquets YOU can
If he doesent respond, he ought to
feel fairly cheap. That's better than
just making him mad. Always try
soft words before you turn on the
heavy artillery.

Love of Poetry.
BY j. o. ABERNETHY.

The same law which reveals char
acter in the face also rules in the de
lineation of character by the hand.
Every minute appearance in the hand
is as significant as when observed in
the face Hard labor and certain
kinds of labor change the hands and
the shape of the fingers, but it cannot
change all of the chara cteristics and
produce the form of another type.
Where the bone is dominant in the
hand, you may be sure that the law of
the straight line, the square, and angle
governs the shape of the face. This
shows that the ruling powers of the
mind will be turned in the direction
of science or mechanism, and the
strongest traits will be a love of order
and that morality and conscientious
ness will be the dominant principles i'll
the character.
When the hand is long, with fingers
of moderate size and length, it pro
duces the best form for artistic efforts
for it gives strength and fieXibility.
with rapidity of movement. With this
hand is associated a character pos
sessed of more emotion and affection
than reason or logic. This type is
gifted with Il fine Imagination, but
lacking in organizing ability. This
hand is found on lovers of poetry.

terrible voice of his and then instantly
listen with his wonderful ears. That
sudden "hoot in the darkness Wakens
the little people who may be sleeping
somewhere near. 1t is apt to make
one or two start and rustic leaf or
two. Hooty's great ears catch the
very fainteSt rustic of q leaf. or the
scratching of claw on the bark.
Then his eyes, made for seeing in
darkness. are quite sure to find the
one who made that tiny noise.
Hooty hooted up there above Mrs.
Grouse. 1t was q terrible sound. Her
eyes few open instantly, but she didn t
move. which was very fortuante for
her. For quite a while all was silent.
1t seemed to Mrs. Grouse that her
heart was beating so loud that Hooty
must hear it. She didn't know just
where he was, but she knew that he
was somewhere near. Then he hooted
again. Poor Mrs. Grouse, 1t seemed
now that her heart had stopped beat
ing for q moment or two and then
began to thump again. She knew now
that Hooty was in the tree just above
her. 1t was dreadful to have him SO
near. She just felt his great eyes look
ing down at her. Of course. they We're
doing nothing of the kind, but she
couldn't know that. Oh. how hard she
tried not to move the tiniest, tiniest
bit; and how she dreaded hearing him
hoOt again. You see, that voice was
so sudden, so loud, and so altogether
frightful, that she was afraid she
would move in spite of all her efforts
not to.
After the third time Mrs. Grouse
waited and waited and waited and
dreaded to hear that voice again. 1t
got SO that it was almost as bad not
to hear it as to hear it. When she did
hear it. she knew where Hooty was.
When she didn't hear it, she imagined
that Hooty was very close. indeed. BY
and by, after what seemed to her half
the night, Hooty hooted again. This
time, his voice came from a long dis
tance away. Mrs. Grouse gave just
the faintest of sighs and settled herself
on her eggs once more. "Such a
fright" she murmured, "such a dread
full fright! 1 do wish jolly, round Mr..
Sun would hurry up and get out of
bed"
But Hooty the Owl wasn't wishing
anything of the kind. You see, he
hadn't dined yet in spite of all his
hooting.
