Health Hints
BY DIR. MORRIS EISHBEIN Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association aud Or Hy.
 geia, the Health Magazine
Me Davlin'

In his common sense discussion
 of the everyday problems of the
 everyday child. Dr. Douglas A. Thom considers especially the re- sponsibility of the teacher in mold
 ing the personality of the child. Her influence is second only to that of the parent. and fin many
 cases is even greater than that of
 the parent because of the fact that she sees the child during it walk ing hours over a far longer period than does the parent.
 Develops Attitude She acts therefore not only as a
 teacher. but also as a counselor and
 adviser. and in many cases is sec ond only to the physician in de- velopine q proper emotional atti- tude toward life. It must be re-
 membered that the teacher is also
 a human being, subject also to
 emotional upsets and that her re- actions invariably influence those
 of the children who work with
 her.
 The teacher must be able to de-
 termine whether or not the child
 is progressing along with the l other children of it's age in the
 grade. If it fails to progress, she
 must be able to account for t e failure either through lack of physical or mental equipment. An instance is recorded of q child failing in the fourth grade,
 who nevertheless was found to have mental age far beyond her actual age. When the child was advanced ill her work. she kept
 up easily with those in the supe- rior grade. Her difficulty was a ! sort of contempt for the work be- | ing given to her in the grade in
 which she originally was placed. Children in school are not lazy.
 Ordinary habits of lazness are more likely to afflict the adult than the child.
 The child's apparent laziness may be due to sickness not suffi-
 ciently severe to incapacitate but just enough to cause depression. l Sometimes the lack of mental

 Mother Graham bridled and smiled
 If you're sure there's no one else who ought to go, in my place." she said. But surely there's room for all of us in that car."
 No. this ride Is just for you" MT. Underwood told her, unless you have somebody especial you want to take with you"
 Junior looked pleadingly at me, but I nodded my head toward Katherine. I did not wait to hear her decision, for MT. Underwood was already holding the door open for me, and I went with him down the steps to the car.
 I knew very we'll what he wanted and was glad that he made the ex- cuss of inspecting the seat cushion to get me away from the veranda- He waited until we reached the car and pretended to be showing me the cushion while he spoke low and hurriedly.

BY JEAN PATOU

Paris, Sept. 27 - One of the most important questions, where the tech nicalities of fashions are concerned is the waistline.
 More than three years ago I pre- scented. in one of my collections. a model typifying a tendency which anticipated in the waistline. In this model the waistline purposely was somewhat exaggerated; it was al most normal and consequently caus- ed a great deal of surprise and com- ment.
 Today this very same model could be shown in my collection without attracting more. comment than any of the other dresses. This in itself is sufficient proof of the evolution of fashions in the sphere of the waistline.
 Gradual Transition
 This resumption of the norma! waistline is a slow process, how ever. If a comparison is made be- tween my present collection and the fashions of three years ago. al though one has very definite inn precision of higher waistline. it would be difficult to say of any model that it typities this change
 The question of changing the waistline was one fraught with many difficplties for the couturier. Women offered certain amount 4A let hn TndnH it is practically an accomplished fact, but only because this change was effected through the seasons in an almost unconsciously pro/ ressive way. Another reason is that very great diversity of means was employed, so that little by little women's eyes became ac- customed to waistline which was not placed just somewhere above the knee.
 In any instance, a waistline can be very elusive thing and can give the impression of being near ly normal without it's being so in reality. This illusion is secured with the help of various effects. The more usual preteXt takes the form of some sort of belt. In cer- tain instances thls belt is nothing more than superposition of ma terial. not very marked, but giv- ing the required effect. Again, when the top of a gown is trimmed either by a work of incrustatioes. stitchings, tucks or frills, these various trimmings are made to fin- ish little lower than the so-called normal waistline.
 Belt in Uneven Line
 Another effect I have used in my winter models is that of a belt placed at the same height as on my summer models, but ra1ed in the back or front.
 believe. however, that the times has not yet come to launch dresses with a determined and normal waistline. My theory is that one cannot impose brusque change on women. unless they can be taken completely by surprise.

Poland Experimenting
 With Women Police

Warsaw, Sept. 27 P-The Polish women police are making life hard for women criminals.
 'Women police seem more inter- csted in featuring offenders than in arresting them," says some of their men colleagues
 But the women go on making ar rests suppressing white slave tcaf- fife and practicing jiu-jitsu tricks.
 The 23 women of the unit are mostly war veterans and are in their early thirties. They h ye been carefully selected. as the or gGniZers of the unit wanted a first class personnel of perfectly healthy and strong women with steady nerves.
 Though the majority of the wo- men were soldiers in the .'olish- Bolshevik war of 191S-2o, a funda- mental police course of six months has been established for them. During this course the girls eet physical exercises and training in special theoretical courses.
 The unit is still treated by the Polish government as an experi- ment.

Cubby turned his head to look back. That eyes closed, 1S,t the instant Cubby went on that eye opened again. When Cubby had disappeared one ear cooked up. When that ear could no longer hear Cubbys footsteps the strangers head lifted. Then he grinned, yawn- ed. got to his feet and went on his way. Of course you know who it was. It was Unc' Billy Possum and he had been playing dead to fool Cubby Bear.

Cubby Bear stood on the ground looking up in a little tree. It was too small a tree for him to climb. Grinning down at him from near the top was a stranger-a stra' ger to him, anyway. Now Cubby knew that that stranger was afraid. Had he not been afraid he wouldn't have climbed that tree. But there he was up the tree, and Cubby was doing his best to shake him down. But though he shook and he shook and he shook and he shook he couldn't make the stranger lose his hold. And the more he shook the angrier Cubby grew. He tried to scramble up. but the little branches broke and the little tree bent and he just couldn't get up.
 Finally Cubby was forced to give up. Then he had . happy idea. He would TO off a little way and hide. He would wait for that stranger to come down. So Cubby shuffled away, and when he was sufe that the stranger could no longer see him he very softly stole around to one side and there he sat down where he could watch the stranger but was quite sure he couldn't be sssn himself. He waited and wait cd and waited. The stranger knew when he was well off. He remained risht where he was. He seemed quits satisfied to stay in the top of that little tree.
 Now. little Bears seldom have much patience. Cubby remained quiet for . remarkably long time for . little Bear. But at last his patience gave out. He just couldn't keep still any longer. He was just getting ready to give up and go shuffling off when the stranger in the little treetop began to move. He crept out on small branch and he let go with his tail. Cubby Bear saw his chance. Before you could wink an eye he was at the foot of that little tree and shaking it. This time he was successful. The stran- Ter lost his hold. He flew out into the air and down he dropped to the ground with a thump.
 Cubby rushed over to where the stranger had fallen, expecting 10 sec him scramble to his feet and run away. But the stranger lay right where he fell. Cubby stoI)ed and stared The stranger lay on his side; his lips were partly drawn back, showing his teeth: he didn't move so much as d toe; his eyes were closed. Could it be that that fall had killed him?
 Cubby walked in a little circle around the stranger. He walked around him three times. Still the stranger didn't move. Very @ingerlv Cubby reached out and touched him. The stranger didn't move. Cubby grew little holder He rolled the stranger over. There was 10 movement.
 Hes dead" thought Cubby. He certainly is dead Who would have thought a little fall like that would have killed him 9' He sniffed at the stranger. Somehow it was all so queer that he lost his appetite. Now that he had the stranger there. dead. he didn't feel so much like i, eating him as he had when he was trying to catch the stranger. There was something queer about if all. and Cubby is always suspicious of queer things. He sat down at lit le distance and gazed long and har at this small person of the Green Forest whom he had never seen before.
 "1 wonder who he is?" said Cubby to himself q wonder who he Is? I must ask about him. Ii certainly is funny how little fall like that could kill anybody. It must be l scared him to death. That
