WIN O1cner's Failure to Keep
Car Locked NuNUy
Theft Policy?
BY THE COUNSELOR.

The theft insurance policy which
covered DIR. Bells automobile provided
that 'in consideration. of a reduced
premium, the insured will not leave
the car unattended without locking the
safety device attached to the gear
shift"
DIR. Bell took particular care TO
comply with this clause the first rev
weeks after he purchased the car. But
he became more careless as time wens
on. often leaving it unattended with
ont locking the device. One evening
after receiving a call from a patient,
DR.. Bell hurried to his car, but found
that it was gone.
He notified the insurance company
and filed his claim. The insurance
company, learning of DIR. Bells habit
ual carelessness and that at the time
of the theft the device was not locked,
refused to pay the claims, as they
considered the breach sufficient to null
lily the insurance.
DR.. Bell contended, however, that
the breach did not nullify the policy,
but merely made him liable for the in
creased premium charged in policies
not containing the special stipulation.
The court decided the case in favor
of the insurance company, saying:
when a theft policy upon an
automobile provides that in consider
alton of the contract the insured shall
keep a certain device locked when the
car is left alone such policies may be
forfeited by the insurance company
if the condition subsequently is not
complied with"

Brushing and the occasional use of

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

First and foremost of the reasons
why a baby should have daily bath
is in order to give the skin exercise.
Cleanliness IS not the primary con
sideration. This is Il question asked
by mothers who cannot understand
how a small baby can get dirty, and
therefore see no reason for bathing
him daily.
This mother should think Of the
babys skin as one of the organs of
elimination, through which secretions
from the body are pouring constantly.
Though we do not see the secretions
from the lungs and skin. they exist,
nevertheless, and these also help the
body to get rid of its poisons.
Infants lie sWathed in WoOlens most
Of the day during the Winter months),
and so their skins do not have even
the benefits of air. Once a day at
least they should be relieved OF these
clothes, the skin massaged with hands
and towels and exercised by the stimu-
latiOn of hot water and the cooler air.
Thus only can the skin be kept clean
and active in it's duty as an organ of
elimination.
During the Summer months the skin
is active, but in this season baths are
an adjunct IN Keeping the Ddby Cool'
Several sponge baths a day will not
hurt the older child, and the baby
should have at the very least his
morning warm bath and cooler
sponge at bedtime. No matter how
restless and hot. this swift, cool
sponge will bring down his body tenn
perature and put him in fit mood to
20 to sleep restfully and quietly.
The temperature for the small
baby's bath should be about 80 or 80
degrees by bath thermometer. 1t is
fine to get the baby of six months ac-
customed to cooler water by letting 1t
run over him just before he is taken
from the tub. This does not mean
pouring icy water over him and shock
ing the poor baby, but to use a slight
ly cooler water and gradually accus-
tom him to u more decided change in
temperature. If the baby Is warm anu
lively after this, one will know that
the cool water has been invigOratlng,
but ie he ia pale and cold he has not
reacted properly and the cold water
should not be used.

Forgives But Never Forgets.
BY MIMI.

The person who can forgive beau
tifullv has to learn to forget easily.
No forgiveness is complete unless ac'
companied by its old ally, torgetuI-
ness.
Mildred these days is doing lot
of crashing and grinding of teeth be-
cause her Rounie walked out one eve
ming. and there isn't an earthly chance
that he's ever coming back.
OF course, she hasn't the slightest
idea what it's all about. Women
never do.
I've hardly met 4 girl in my life
who would come right out frankly and
say that she knows the trouble all be
gan with her. and she's heartily sorry.
Mildred is no exception to the RUE
She is simply mystitied at the depaf-
ture of her Ronald.
ROnnic's story is different. lie says
she we'll knows why he up and left.
Here arc the facts: Ronnie and Nil
had been buzzing around together Tor
a good two years when Jane GoSSet
came to town. And what Jane dld
to all the steady hcauX of other girls
is still a matter of history.
Ronnic was one of those who tel
but he fell harder than most. tie
chased Jane back to her home town.
and he spent all the money lie was
saving to marry Mildred, just 10 give
Jane a good time.
When the smoke of battle had
cleared away, it was discovered that
Jane had eloped with another guy,
and ROnnie was a sad picture.
Well. Mildred took him back. She
took him back in the face of every
ones incredulous amaZement. Shc
wept and forgave him publicly. Every
one thought it was beautiful OF her.
So did Ronnie.
For couple of months after the
great reconciliation he was as humple
and grateful as any man could be.
Then, naturally, he began to act III
n more normal fashion and became
the old teasing, carefree Ronnie again.
Mildred watched the change ana re-
scented it.
She was still Joan of Arc, YOU see
in her own imagination. and she
thought it was very heartleSs OF
Ronnie to grow gay and happy again
so suddenly.
"Well, really, Ronnie, I can't help
noticing what q change has come over
YOU since YOU decided to drop Jane
and give me a little time again.
She would remind him in dozen
different ways of the spectacle ne had
made of himself She threw 1t up a
hundred times a day that If 1t hadn
been for her noble nature, he Would
never have been able to come back
to her.
All right. 1t used to sober him up
at first. He would stop dancing ana
look crestfallen If she mentioned Jane
at first. But the effect wore off.
Gradually he got used to her re
minders and began to scowl when
she got in her famous dirty digs. :,
Then he ignored them. Ana finailV
he ignored her He told me that he
couldn't contemplate marriage with
Mildred when he realized that every
sin he committed would be held over
his head for the next hundred years.
No. If you make up your nina TO
forgive a man. then you've got 10
make I'D your mind at the time to Tor
get his crime--and never mention II
again.
Even IL you don't forget, you must
give the impression that the unfortu'
nate incident, whatever 1t may have
been, has passed from your NINA Tor
ever.
Forgiveness without forgetfulness Is
no forgiveness at all.

Cleopatra was % when she married
Antony-for their union was regarded
as a formal marriage by Cleopatra
own people. There seems to be no
doubt that she was more fascinating
at this age than when, at Il, she had
won the love of the great Jullus
Caesar. Perhaps the fascination of
this remarkable charmer OF history
was best explained by Shakespeare IN
his play, Antony and Cleopatra.
These words are put into the mouth

Cleopatra when she sailed out from
Alexandria to Tarsus to meet Antony.
"Around the heimsman number of
beautiful slave women were grouped
in the guise of sea nymphs and

musicians played a melody upon their
flutes, pipes and harps for which the
slow moving rowers seemed TO beat
