 What caused you to give your fortune to this woman for safekeep- ing?" the magistrate asked one el- derly gentleman.
 How could one doubt her?" he countered. Just think of it "a woman so noble. so dignif1ed, so honorable, so respectable" Then, hesitating, in search of words to convey his idea of su- preme responsibility, he exclaimed "A woman who did not even have | her hair bobbed."

Health Hints

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
 Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia.
 the Health Magazine
 Although the public has been warned repeatedly against the dan ger of wearing tan shoes that have been recently dyed black or brown. physicians continue to report cases of serious illness resulting from this error. Most of the cases are the re- suit of poisoning by aniline, nltro- benzene, or similar dye substances.
 The first symptom is a general blueness of the body beginning from one-half to several hours after the shoes are put on. This blue ness is the result of a change in the blood brought on by the action Of the dye on the oxygen-carrying pow CTS of the blood. Associated with the blueness is general weakness headache. dizziness, nausea and sometimes complete prostration.
 pr. John Akman of Rochester, New York, recently reported three cases that occurred in that city. A boy six years old had worn shoes that had been dyed four days be- fore. The shoes were put on about 11:30 in the morning. Ihe bow began to turn blue about 2:4o in the afternoon. The bluenes' improved when the shoes Weft removed and returned the next day when the shoes were put on.
 The symptoms were so serl ous that it was thought the chile had an epileptic attack. However when the shoes were removed the child had no further symptoms. few days later the child suddenis fainted again. The mother foune that the child had discovered tn' shoes in the attic two hours oetor' and had put them on.
 f. boy 1e years old came nome one evening and fell on the noo from weakness. Tn the mornI"' if was noticed that he was blue ane he complained of a severe headache Investigation showed that on 'h previous evening he had worn shoe that had been dyed the day before
 A boy ten years old put on nair of shoes that had been aye black the day before. The shoe were put on at s:so in the morn ing and two hours later the DO began to turn blue. He wore In shoes until evening. Since IL Wa a. hot day he perspired consider ably. The blueness did not dlsap pear until the shoes were re moved. After the shoes had stoo for four days in the air. the DO wore them again without any el fects.
 The public should again h warned that when tan shoes ar dyed black and the source and tn nature of the dyes are not der nitely known, the shoes should . allowed to stand in the air for se' eral days before they are worn.

Cake Ingredients Vary
 As Altitude Changes

Salt Lake City Aug. 3 R-Cake making in high altudes has been the subject of year of experi- mentation at the Agricultural Col lege of Utah.
 It was found that some ingre- dients must be used in greater pro- portions and some in lesser amounts as the altitude increases. The or dinary cake recipe should be re- duced one-twelfth in fat and one eighth in sugar, and increased one half in milk to produce suitable cake at the altitude of the univer- sity, 4,700 feet.
 Similar changes in proportion were found to be advisable for a successful, unfallen cake at other higher or lower attitudes.

 Miss Dillon champions the woman executive, feeling that women are just as we'll equipped for such job as men. so far as their mentality Is concerned.
 "Yhey just approach an executive job with different equipment" Miss Dillon said
 Often it is true that a mans prior experience and his observa- ton of other men has enabled him to develop definite technique which stands him in good stead when he assumes an executive job.
 Also there have been fewer fem mine than masculine executives and so women have learned less by studying other women's methods. But this disadvantage is often off, set by the keenness of a woman's perception. her quickness to learn. V
