Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medicai Association and of Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine

Among gas heaters sold on the open market, many are inadequate Tor the purpose for which they are sold. In other words, the gas is not completely burned and proper means are not provided for taking care of the Incomplete combustion.
 As result every winter hun dreds of persons in the United States die from suffocation in rooms that are heated by imper. feet gas heaters. The imperfect combustion results either from lack of air to the flame or by cool. ing the flame through letting il play on cold surface.
 Air Requirement
 Artificial coal gas requires about five times as much air as ordinary Illuminating gas for perfect com bustion. Even natural gas requires twice as much air.
 For this reason a burner sold for artificial gas will not do for use with natural gas The only means VI odlEly llS N4LH SuCN UedJerS IS a flue which will carry off the fumes of incomplete combustion.
 The suffocating gas in these cases is the same as occurs in the ex- haust pipes of gasoline motors deadly carbon monoxide. Death may be almost instantaneous if the lose is large.
 Symptoms
 Usually before the person be- comes unconscious, he begins 10 yawn, feels sleepy, and has q feeling of tightness in the forehead. He nay develop headache, dizziness or nausea under such circumstances i It is best to get fresh air into the room as soon as possible.
 Many physicians believe that per sons may suffer from slight de- g2ees of carbon monoxide poisoning. in which case there is a loss of energy, headache. sleepincss and shortness of breath on exertion. The safe rule 10 follow is to have no ges heater unless there is a fluo.

Palm Beach modes continue to stress the youthful note. The new ensemble costumes have short pleated skirts, and either straight coat reaching just to the hip-line or a sleeveless jacket of equally abbreviated length. Afternoon gowns are also notable for their youthful appearance. straight line models Of crepe ornamented with fine stitching or simple appliques being the &C., cepted choice of ell-dressed wo- men.
 The same thing is true of eve- ming costumes The elaborate mod els of the winter have been re- placed by simple affairs more appropriate to the place and sea- son. Chiffon and lace gowns re- markable for their restrained use or ornament are the accepted modes.
 Sketched today is a new Palm Beach ensemble notable for its youthful appearance. The one piece frock has a peach satin bod ice trimmed with a band of kasha down the front. The skirt and short, straight jacket are kasha.

Young veri.zcn's Sudden Attack On

Young Veritzen's Sudden Attack On
 the Capering COckroach
 As Jack Leslie advanced to the side of the night club hostess and stood waiting for her announcement, l caught my breath in resentful grudging tribute to the undeniably good looks and grace of the young wastrel. No wonder, I thought to myself comprehendingly that a young girl so ingenious as Mary Harrison had kept his image in her memory.
 For had not been deceived by 7yary's artless explanation of her swoon when Dicly had told us of tho masked dancer whose nightly appearance with Jack Leslie had been causing such sensation among Broadway habitues. I knew that her strength of nerves and body had been weakened by her arduous work under Philip Veritzen's direction. and I guessed that her emotions had been more captivated by the fascin- ating cabaret entertainer than we had thought. Hearing of this un- known dancer who. according to Dicky's version had brought Jack Leslie and Noel Veritzen to blows, had been too much for her over wrought imagination, and she had lost consciousness for few seconds.
 This was the explanation of her swoon which was giving myself as looked at the 1.-the, graceful figure of the night club entertainer Yet l knew that such an explanation en- tailed an assumption that she was emotionally interested in the dancer to the point of fierce jealousy of him. Surely, the few meetings with Leslie. of which I had known, had not been sufficient to bring brainy girl like Mary to so absurd a pass. Or-had there been meetings of which I knew nothing, carefully as Katherine and I had tried to guard our young charge?
 But the hostess was speaking with . forced enthusiasm that but lily hid her anxiety for the success of her evening.

That kind cannot be beaten. l may look as if they were beaten but if they won't admit it, you'll find in the end that they haven't been beaten after all.
 Peter Rabbit wasn't worrying. In fact, he was rather enjoying the situation. It rather tickled him tc know how close he was to Reddy Fox. yet how safe. You know, Peter was in the middle of the long, hol- low log which was open at both ends. Reddy was outside. The hol- low was big enough for Peter. but not big enough for Reddy Fox. Red dy would go to one end and sniff Then he would go to the other end and sniff. Inside Peter simply chuckled
 He says he's going to stay here until have to come out" said Pe- ter to himself. But if I know any thing about it, his stomach will make him move along before mine makes me move. His probably has been empty for some time, while l got a good dinner just before l came in here. So guess can stay just as long as Reddy can, and a little longer. am perfectly safe here. Hello! Who is Reddy talking to?"
 Peter pricked up his long ears. Outside Reddy Fox was talking to some one. Who could it be? If it were Mrs. Reddy, or Old Granny Fox. why things might be serious. One could keep watch while the other hunted. They could take turns. This would be a bad fix indeed. So Peter stole little nearer to one end of the old log in order to hear bet ter.
 Almost at once Peter's heart nearly turned a somersault with fright. Reddy Fox was talking to Shadow the Weasel. Yes, sir, Reddy was talking to Shadow the Weasel. Shadow Is so small that he can go anywhere that Peter can and many places that Peter cannot go. If Shad- ow should take it into his head to come inside that hollow log, there would be nothing for Peter to do but leave by the other end as fast as his legs could take him. Reddy was speaking in his pleasantest way.
 T take it, Nelghbor Weasel" said he, that you are as hungry as I. Now I know how we can have fine meal. Yes, sir. do SO"
 How inquired Shadow; and by the sound of his voice il was plain that he was suspicious.
 '.It's this way replied Reddy. still speaking pleasantly. With your help l can catch Peter Rabbit"
 What good will that do me?" snapped Shadow the Weasel.
 We'll make bargain" replied Rcddy. You help mo. and when have caught him, we'll divide him." Peter shiyered when he heard that.
 How do you want me to help?" Inquired Shadow.
 Well" replied Reddy. Peter is in that hollow log over thcre. If you will go in at one end and drive him out at the other end l will catch him as he comes out. There isn't a chance in the world that he can get away. All that is necessary is for you to go in at one end while l wait at the other"
 Perhaps you can guess how Peter WIS feeling by this time. He was in T dreadful fix. If Shadow should come into that hollow log he would have to get out If he didn't Saad- ow would kill him there If he won't out, Reddy Fox would kill him outside.
 T wish I were back in the dear Did Briar-p patch" sobhed Peter un- CT rsh's breath Then ke listened

Dismissed College Man Tells
Conference Scholars Papers
Are Hope of Education.

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, April ia student
who is dismissed from school for
criticizing the school authorities is
better off than one who is willing Ito
he nut in a place without Directing"
declared Gerald Fling of Kansas City.
in an address before the Mid West
Student Conference here yesterday.
Fling himself has been dismissed from
Kansas City Junior College for pub
fishing a newspaper which attacked
policies of the board of education
relative to student government.
eff enough of us students who want
to do our own thinking are kicked out
of colleges, we can start college OF
our own" Fling remarked.
Sees Dark Outlook.
"The college newspaper is the sal
walton of the college. If 1t cannot
sneak for the minority--and possibly
awake the majority, which is too busy
with athletics and fraternity matters
to think about affairs of student gov
ernment-then the hope for improve.
ment in the American educational
system is gone.
Two World War veterans debated
military training in colleges at last
nights session of the conference. Inc
work Of the Reserve officers Training
Corps in American schools was upheld
hy Harry X PoindeXter of Kansas
CITY, who was a captain in the oth III
vision. and the attack on military IN
struction was made by Thomas o.
Harrison of Boston. who served IN
France as an enlisted man.
Cites Aid to Citizenship.
poindexter is a wholesale dry goods
merchant, while Harrison is a repre-
sentative of the American Friends
Service Committee of Philadelphia, an
organization pledged to world peace
program.
Harrison declared the atmosphere
of the barracks is absolutely opposed
to the spirit of scientific inquiry and
academic advancement. We should
leave the colleges free for preparation
for citizenship
Poindexter replied that military
training makes useful citizens. He
suggested that college students should
be skeptical of persons who urge
abandonment of military training in
colleges.
Harrison argued that military train
ing at colleges is a waste of time be-
cause the knowledge of military sci
ence acquired can be obtained in 80
days of intensive Army training.
