Sack Suits
Won By Men
More Popular Than Ever
For Male Attire.

New York. Oct l7-Sack suits are
on the up and up for about-town
wear, business, travel and other
things that transpire informally In
the life OF man.
Favorite materials are homespuns,
cheviots. vicunas. rough flannels
and cashmeres. Some meticulous
dressers still choose hard, fine fin.
isheA worsteds for their suits But
most men seem to prefer roughish
fabrics for informal sack suits.
Brightness " an asset. Blues have
q vivid cast to them, browns take
fiecks Of red, greens have . dash OF
yellow in them, and greys have
black or white to pep them up. The
best materials introduce contrasting
color In tho form Of indefinite
stripes, plaid or tick effects.
Sack coats are cut semi-fitting

Trousers. however. are a little

Health Hints
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor journal OF the American
Medical Association and or Hygcia,
the Health MaRazine.


Recently physicians who specialize
in disease of the skin have been see
ing cases of Inflammation which
follow the handling of the roto-
gravure section of newspapers, or
the inks that are used in printing
them.
DIR. +. A. Oliver of Chicago col
lected records of Is cases of this
character. In most of the cases the
eruptions had appeared on Monday
and Tuesday. so that the irritant
substance had been handled on Sat
urday or Sunday.
Most People Not Affected
When the attacks were traced
definitely to the newspapers and the
handling Of these newspapers elimin-
ated. the condition cleared up with
the application of a simple lotion.
The persons concerned were espe-
cially sensitive to the rotogravure
inks. Most people who handle the
supplements are not affected.
The situation resembles some
what that which followed the intro
luction of Nah jongg into American
life about i've years ago. Many
cases of skin eruption were noticed
following the handling of the NAH
lonsg tiles or the Nah jongg boxes
by persons who We're sensitive TO
japanese lacquer.
Study the Inks
The physicians studied first the
composition of rOto2ravure inks;
then in order to determine whether
or not persons concerned were SEN
sitive, small amounts of the news
paper were applied to the skin OF
the back and the response of the
skin determined.
In sensitive persons, contact with
the ink produced IL redness and irri-
tation within "a hours. A soothing
ointment resulted in recovery in 10
days in every instance.
An examination of the inks reveal
cd that one ingredient known as
para red is the irritating ingredient
in most cases.

New York, Oct. 17.-"Don't be
psychanalyzed. Take up the weaving
Of old Morse tapestries, instead. In
working out some luminous picture
from yodr own life your mind will be
so thrilled and your hands so busy
that nervous tangles will just UNI
wind themselves"
Mrs. Berethea Aske Bergh, au-
thority on Morse culture. gives this
sage advice from 80 years observa-
ton Of just what panacea for tense
minds weaving can be.
More women than I can name
have found solace in tapestry weav-
ing, women of middle years whose
children are now gone from home,
women who have met grief. women
to whom life is utterly empty" this
little grandmother recounted. She
seemed unconscious of the fine
recommendation her own happy blue
eyes, twinkling dimples and natural
verve gave her theory.

'My first and second patients" as
call my pupils sometimes weren't
women. however" Mrs. Bergh smil-

psychologists saw me singing over
my loom one day when he was al
most beside himself with insomnia
caused by over-work. ] taught him
to weave and it cured him.
Next year he sent a friend to me.
a Pennsylvania millionaire who was
dying of fear because OF skipping
heart. He spent his days feeling his
pulse. That was before therapy was
in general practice, but weaving
made him forget his heart. He often
said 1t saved his life"
Curiously, Mrs. Bergh's first inter-
est in tapestry weaving came from
a bet. At an art museum. she heard
someone remark on the beauty of
some tapestries claimed to be the
oldest tapestries in Europe.
"Ill bet they are Nordic," this
Norsewoman said to a group of
friends. knowing that Morse culture
ran back centuries before Christ.
They weren't, but Mrs. Bergh be-
came 80 interested in proving that
Norway did have the oldest tapes
tries in Europe that she took the first
boat to Norway, four days later.
There she met the late Frido Ham
sen, Norway's famed tapestry weav-
err, who revived the ancient art and
reclaimed and rewove some OF the
Oldest tapestries in the world. Frida
Hansen helped Mrs. Bergh gather a
collection to bring to America. in
GLIDING one from King Oscar. then
ruler of Norway Sweden, and one
from the crown prince.
That original collection was ex-
hibited all over America. with Mrs.
Bergh lecturing on tapestries and
other branches of Morse culture, for
she is an artist and musician as
well as a tapestry weaver.

Jimmy Skunk was comfortably
mapping under an old barn. Jimmy
didn't know what was going on out

thing was going on out there that
would have interested Jimmy if he
had known about it. You see, the
owner Of that barn knew that JIM

Browns Boy in the ways of the lit
tie people of the Green Forest and
the Green Meadows. More than
this, he was very much put out
with Jimmy Skunk. You see, his dog
had used his little scent-gun. Now
that dog would not be allowed to
come near the house for some time.

Now, Farmer Browns boy could

this.
First, the man went all around
the barn and blocked up every hole
that Jimmy could get out thro Igh.
He wanted to make sure that
Jimmy would be in there when h.
returned with the traps. Then he
went back to the house and pres
emily he returned with three steel
traps. those wicked things that
cause SO much suffering to those
who are caught in them. He opened
the place where Jimmy had gone in.
and. taking great care, he set the
three traps in such way that no
one could go in or out without step
