BEAUTY CHATS
Your Chin.

If you let your complexion go to
pieces at this season it will be very
difficult to get it right later on in the
Summer. If the pores fill up now with
blackheads it will be sevefal months
before they have shrunk back into
their normal invisible state This is
particularly true of the skin over the
nostrils and the chin.
Have you ever examined YOUR skin
closely. If not. hold a hand glass
close to your face and examine the
pores most carefully. You will prob
ably see a great many fine blackheads.
particularly in the little cleft under
the lip and Immediately under the
chin as well. You may also find a
few rather stiff hairs which you have
never noticed before.
The chin can be treated rather Wig

Indian Prints.

A neighbor looked longingly at an
Indian print hanging in one of my
rooms, and expressed a desire to be
able to afford one like it. Naturally
smiled, because the print. a large
one, too. had cost me exactly 1925.
Ny neighbor could scarcely believe
me. Indian prints. luxuriant in color
and design, appear to be costly.
These prints may be bought in
almost every conceivable size, from
small handkerchief size to bedspread
size or 90x100 inches in area. If you
are buying a cover for table, or a
covering for a wall panel. be sure to

Why Do We Knock ?

WHY do we knock other girls?
Usually because we're jealous of
them-or are fearful that our friends
| are going to fall for them.
Sometimes we knock a girl because
| we think she's a dangerous young
woman, and we honestly want to warn
our friends against her particular kind
of badness. Such knocking occasion.
alIy has a good effect, and consequent
" Is permissible. But when we get
into the class of wholesale knockers.
we defeat our own ends, did we but
know it.
You know how tired you get of the
girl who's always handing out honey?
You know how bored you get with her
constant assurances that you're the
most stunning. most charming girl in
the whole world.
You get bored with it. you see, be-
cause you know it doesn't mean any
thing. And when she raves about
other people, you pay no attention to
her. You don't attach the slightest
Importance to anything she says.
Most girls are aware of the folly of
flattering every one. They know it
makes for general disbelief in every
thing they say. Yet they will calmly
go ahead and do exactly the SAME
thing in the opposite direction. That
is, they will knock everybody and
everything from one end of the day
to the other, and confidently expect to
be taken at their word.
If EStelle says one day. Il can't say
that l like Sheila. She's so fearfully
stingy and mean. Why. the other day
she practically invited me to lunch
and then let me pay the check you
are rather apt to listen to her. You
think of Sheila as a stin@y girl after
that, and take care not to be in
weighed into paying for her lunch.
But if Estelle follows up that friend
ly remark with an anecdote illustrat
ing how stuok-up Mary is-and then
spends the rest of the afternoon cat
ting practically every one you've ever
known, you cease to pay the slightest
attention to her.
After While, when she opens her
mouth to give nice girliSh knock to
one of her pals, people just shrug their
shoulders and say, "Oh, well, you can't
believe everything Estelle says, any
how. She's just a general knocker.
Nobody pays attention to her"
So that the little cat, Estelle, has
completely defeated her own purpose.
Her remarks can't give her the salts

catty a speech has to be believed

way you look at it. Continual knock.
ing hurts no one but yourself.
You get to be known as perfect cat,
and those whom you seek to injure
with your tales are left quite I'M

If you knock just to hear yourself
talk, get over it, for it's a silly habit.
and does not make for interesting con-
versation.
If you knock to hurt some one else,
give up the job now. You'll only make
yourself known as a bore and a use

South rebids Spades on the strength
of his own hand.
Salient Points of the Play.
Tricks. Analysing the situation be-
fore playing to Trick 8, South readily
sees that game cannot be made by
cross-rufting clubs and hearts. nor by
the establishment by this means of a
long club, assuming the most favor
able distribution (4-3) of the out-stand-
ing clubs. His only alternative is to
establish the diamonds in dummy, en-
ploying the ace of spades as the card
of entry on the third round of spades
to make the established diamonds.
Therefore. as the ace of spades must
be conserved for this purpose, he must
lead diamond from his own hand
and thus sacrifice a possible diamond
trick that might be made by finessing,
in order to make a greater gain in
that suit later on.

corning. your bridge problems. Write to him

SCHOOLS RECORD
 PROGRESS OF CHILD
PlainYille System to Have Con- plete Picture" Of Each Pupil

A virtual biography of every stu designed to give at a glance the spe- cial characteristics of each child. is now being compiled through a card index system adopted this year by the school department of that town. Every fact, from birth to entrance into college, which might have a bearing upon the education of the child is collected in this index on large double individual cards printed on both sides. The home of the sys tenn, which was introduced by the new superintendent of schools, Leon C. Staples, is the suite of offices in the high school occupied by the superintendent andshigh school prin cipal, and here as time passes, a vast collection of data will be built up.
 The individual card provides a place for the pupils name, sex, and place and date of birth. together with information as to whether his or her birth certification is by birth certificate, passport, Bible, oath, fathers or mothers statement, or church or hospital record. Below this are placed the names and na- tionalities of the mother and father and whether or not they are living, as well as the occupation and busi- ness address and telephone number of the father.
 Another portion of the card shows the home residence and telephone number of the student at different dates and information as to whether the house is owned or rented. The language spoken in the home is also noted and the home conditions are checked One corner provides for record of any changes in schools made by the pupil, together with the reasons.
 [ The elementary school record will show the final mark of the pupil in each subject in every half-grade. ! Much space is devoted to the tests given the pupil, with columns for | his grade level, apprehension, score and accuracy. The group test rat ing and individual test level are also included, as is the students l. c.
 intelligence Quotient)-showing the pupils mental age as compared with his actual age. How long the child remained in each grade is noted, with the teachers estimate of his industry and scholarship in each subioined. Another corner tells
 whether the pupil is ahead of or be- hind what would normally be his class.
 The boys or girls special abili- ties are listed. So are the disabili- ties, together with notations con- corning hearing, anemia, teeth, nor nal weight, health, vision, tonsils and adenoids.

ARE DRIVERS DUMB?
 ASK THE POLICEMEN
Lack Of Sense Indicated by h.
 spection of Equipment

Automobiles with tight brakes, loose brakes and no brakes at all, practically speaking; automobiles with good headlights, glaring head lights, blinking tail lights and no tail lights at all, in numbers that few residents of New Britain would suspect, have been brought to light through the drive instituted this week by Chief w. c. Hart of the police department. Every so often, of course, there have been arrests made because of poorly or imperfect ly adjusted brakes on automobiles, and occasionally court cases lave equipment in proper working order, but the police themselves were sur prised to learn that there were so many drivers who apparently had such light regard for their safety and the safety of others as to con- tinue to use automobiles after hay ing learned that serious accidents might result although the impcr- fections could be remedied at a minimum cost and without incon- venience.
 Some of the excuses offered by motorists were almost as surprising as were the conditions of the cars themselves. One driver said he had known for several weeks that the left headlight was out of order, but he did not bother to have it repaired because he had been driving so long that the seventh sense of motorists filled the place of the headlight. He could see the right edge of in roads ovr which he travelled, he said, and he never gave a thought to the dan ger of having the left light out of order. AS was pointed out to him, the placing of a bulb in the headlight and the washing of the lens would have required but a few minutes the police, he made the repairs and was obliged to lose a little extra time by reporting to the police sta tion and making explanations.
 Another motorist who was told to add a windshield cleaner to the equipment of his car was surprised to learn that the law called for it. He said he thought it was only necessary to have cleaner in rainy | weather and even then just for con- venience. He had not heard of the law on the subject despite the wide publicity given it after the session of the Legislature.
