my trouble Is that I always carry
fever Of 90 degrees between and
in the afternoon. Is there any danger
in that? I eat we'll and feel well and
am not underweight. am 26 years old,
feet inch tall and weigh 12l pounds.
My bowels do not move regularly. s."
My dear S., If you never have worse
trouble than four -tenthS of a degree
above 98.6, between 4 and 6 IN the
afternoon, you will be fortunate. for
the normal temperature varies between
90 and 90 and the highest period is be-
tween and in the afternoon. The
lowest Is around 3 in the morning,
unless you reverse your habits and sleep
in the daytime and work at night.
II you had any symptoms with the
little increase in temperature, then you
might be concerned, for that would
mean a little toxemia or poisoning.
According to the rule of ITO pounds
for 5 feet in height, in stocking feet,
and 5h pounds for each inch over that,
YOU s,are about 5 pounds overweight.
That may be right for you, or 1t may
indicate that you are eating too many
starches and sugars and fats, and that
might account for your bowels being
so sluggish. You should take more
fruits and vegetables and less Starches
and sugars and oils.
Don't be taking your temperature all
the time, S., unless you have symptoms.
You don't want to become neurotic.
Go for a physical examination once a
year and then obey the hygienic rules
and stop worrying about yourself. While
it Is exceedingly wise to take symptoms
in hand before any serious inrcad Is
made, you must not be too interpretive.
Pipe Organ Development.

it for year now and have practiced

Several people have told me that I'll
have thick ankles because in pedaling
the muscles of the ankles are exercised
and will enlarge. Is this SO? I am
quite young, just Is the other day, so
I'd hate to have big. thick ankles. OF
course, one does exercise the ankles a
great deal in playing, and besides play
pedal exercises about half hour daily.

child can attend to 1t skillfully...
The spread is drawn over the foot OF
the bed, or folded back by doubling in
half, and then in quarters before being
placed across the footboard. II 1t Is an
ornamental one. 1t is often removed
and folded separately.
The bed may be opened for the night
In one of two ways according TO prefer
ence. The corner of the sheet and
covers can be turned back diagonally,
leaving a triangular opening. or the
covers, with the sheet folded over the
blankets, can be simply turned back
once again. parallel to the head Of the
bed. This way is somewhat favored
for single beds.
In double beds the sheets may be
turned from each opposite corner, IN
the triangular manner, so that the
corners meet in the center, and there
are two triangular openings on each
side, This was considered very mucn
the thing for q while Although 1t Is no
longer a novelty, it is popular way OF
preparing double beds.
Maid service implies the laying out OF
night things, garments, slippers. When
the task is performed by the members
of the family, this detail is considered
too personal to be attended to in the
case of one of the opposite sex, or

Reply.

The hardest thing to learn Is how to
learn. If you had the secret OF learn
ing, you wouldn't need anything else,
There is no one recipe for learning,
for the reason that learning Is the name
for the total output and set of the
mental works; what that output Is, and
the nature and the quality Of the prod
uct, depends upon every part OF your
mental equipment; how you see and
hear, how you move and register, how
you attend and recall, how you absorb
and imagine, how you relate and judge
what kind of mind you have.
We use the word study" for the
more intense and concentrated use OF
your mental powers, when you are max
ing all the efforts you can TO take things
in. Studying is using your mind to
make progress, to get somewhere, to
understand. There are as many kinds
of learning as there are things to learn
and minds to learn them. If you have
an alert mind, you are learning some
thing all the time The problem of
study is to improve the mental grasp,
Studying is doing Systematically what
you would be doing casually If you fol-
lowed your interests.
The notion that 1t is natural for
children to study but not for adults
is misleading. Study is q mental habit
irrespective OF age. The young have
the advantage Of certain flexibility
Of mind. They are not yet set In their

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, October 80
Despite the fact that less bread and
butter is served in Hollywood than in
any place of its size in the world, there
is a group that Is trying to get fat.
They are artists of the camera.
They consume potatoes, ripe olives,

prerogative of extreme youth, but

Gary Cooper Is among the men who
would like to take on a few more
pounds. Just why, don't know. His
lean face and symmetrical waist line
epitomize romance for a vast audience
that is constantly increasing. Sally
O'Neill would like a few more curves.

angular beauty which gives certain
flXedness and intensity to her roles, and
yet is requisite for the type in which
she is so often cast. The spiritually
adventurous Is not actively SO.
Young William Bakewell, Norma Tai

Windsor are in the non-banting class.
June Collyer has been told that her
beauty will register in warmer and
more wondrous way if it is backed up
by more buXom quality. One may, 1t
seems, be overethereal.
Hollywood has those fortunates who

beans. There were dishes of creamy
cold slaw fiecked with green peppers,
mounds of snowy cottage cheese made
family red with paprika, sandwiches of
steamed brown bread, tiny pumpkin
pies, crispy brown doughnuts and
flagons of cider. Coffee was available
for those who wanted it. After Nancy
had everything she thought she possibly
could eat she discovered a platter Of
thinly sliced pink ham and back she
went for a helping of that. 1t was
