resentatives can place entries in
the open meet. A certificate from
the school principal must accom-
pany every entry, stating that the
entrant is a bona-fide student of

 T think you are wrong on both of these premises, I just happened to stumble upon some very significant clews."
 "Fedor. for one, and that picture Mrs. Townsend saw for another. I suppose" she answered, then set ting herself more comfortably she added.

Evening Bustles Call for
 Wearing of Jackets.

Paris, March 2i ~b-Sprlne stylfs in evening dresses often make thc wearing of wraps difficult if not al. most impossible.
 Stiff taffeta made with gigantic "choux" cabbages in the back or on the side is sure 10 hump" when coat or cape is draped over it.
 But as Paris will have its blstles and poufs nearly every dreSslnaker shows some form of short jacket or cape, suitable for midsummer wear over dresses with elaborate skirts.
 The shoulder oapes. plus the new evening skirts. elaborately rufflei or draped. give Victorian touch to evening fashions and set them apart from the straight lines and simple clothes most women wear in the daytime.
 Nearly every creative dressmaker uses stiff taffeta in some form usu ally draping it 10 a pouf on the side, or a hustle in back. These 1rape. fall in pointed panels. or form small trains. Printed chiffons are frequently treated in the same manner. or combined with stiff i silks. Paris makes many duplicate designs this season. repeating pat terms on taffeta. chiffon and satin.
 Some of the new evening gowns have skirts that nearly trail the floor but arc made Of narrow pan els which hang from the waist. With every step these gowns re- veal an extremely short skirt be- heath. or perhaps equally short trousers. Jeanne Lanyin makes such dresses of taffeta. Louise eboulanger uses several thickne.ses of net or chiffon.
 The net dresses have tight bod ices embroidered all over with beads and the same beading is re- peated on the foundation skirt or trousers.
 Mrs. Michel weill. San Francisco society woman. and Miss Haliie Stiles, Metropolitan opera singer. have examples of the new evening fashions in their wardrobes. Mrs. Weill ordered a red and green lowered taffeta dress with two large poufs in back. extending into long draperies which just clear the floor. Miss Stiles purchased a short jet jacket with jet bell sleeves, for wear over a black chiffon dinner 1 dress,

Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS TISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and Of Hy.
 geia, the Health Magazine

A general survey of large num- bers of school children indicated that from IF to per cent of all children in public schools suffer with disturbances of the heart which are Of importance in determining the length of life and the ability Of istence.
 A recent study involved the in- vestigation of 355 children from to 13 years of age who were . examined year after year in pri- vate school in New York city. Girls Beat Higher 1 AS a result of this study of the i hearts of normal school children. it was shown that girls from 1 l to 12 years of age have a more rapid heart beat when lying down than do boys. The rate when standing up is about the same ex- cept from II to 12 years of age. 1 when the heart rate for girls is in general higher than that of boys.
 The blood pressure when stud jed did not seem to show any spe- cial difference in the two sexes
 An encouraging observation was the fact that heart disturb ances appear to ne steadily less frequent in children from the age of years to 13 years.
 One of the ways in which mod ern medicine determines disturb ances of heart is to listen for un- usual sounds or murmurs aSso- ciated with the heart beat. Some forms of murmur are definitely associated with certain disturb ances of the valves.
 There are other heart murmurs which appear to be functional or without relationship to any ana tomical change in the heart tissue CT any change in it's ability 10 carry on its work.
 Transient murmnrs were found in s.s per cent of the children studied, but they were not found in any of them to be of demon.
 
 not be taken 10 mean that a heart murmur is always of no signifi- canoe.
 Strain of Exercises
 On the other hand the func. tional tests of the heart involved a study of exercises, and 1t was found that some children who be. came blue on exercise or who be. came pale or short of breath oi Gnduly tired actually had heartt incapable of carrying on work that was placed upon them.
 When the size of the heart wal studied in such cases. 1t was found 10 be unequal to its task. A hear that is either much smaller oi much larger than the average foi the size of body concerned needs careful investigation.

BEAUTY How and Why
OIL IS COLD CREAMS BASIC INGREDIENT
By Ann .Alysis

Cold cream is one of the best. If rot the very best Of the beauty aids that we have at our command to- day. As solvent Of deep-seated grime. a skin softener and a skin food. 1t is invaluable.
 The unguents and oils of an earlier day were used for the same purpose that We of this period Use our cold and vanishing creams. But the science of chemistry and the ability 10 reach out to any land We desire for the finest ma ferials. has enabled our age 10 produce the most elegant products in this line that q lVHury-loving world has ever known.
 The animal. vegetable and min- eral kingdoms contribute ingre- dients that may be used i'll making cold cream. The basic or founda- ton ingredient ts some form of oil. Not all creams are made of the same oils, and in this out standing fact you will see the req son for the great difference in the various creams on the market. It is also the reason why you. as the purchaser, must find out for your, self by experiment the cream that agrees with your skin in every particular.
 Among the many oils used in making cold cream, are almond. castor. olive, cottonseed. palm, cocoanut. cocoa butter, lanoline. lard, beef suet and last but not least, mineral oil or liquid petro- latum. All of these oils are ex- cellent, but the animal and veg etable oils have one great draw back. They become rancid. and occasionally on account of this rancidity. set up an irritation of the skin.
 To avoid this. mineral oil is the basic oil most frequently em- ployed.

Many Women Are Starting
 Spring Gardens.

Washington. March 2 Rl-Wo- men are taking an unprecedented in terest in small spring gardens, win dow boxes and house plants.
 Thousands of inquiries for official information about proper spring planting have flooded the office of w. E. Reattie. in charge of horti- culture in the department of agri- culture, and indicate that the spring and summer of 1928 will be a ban ner year for the small garden plot.
 People with just a small bit of ground at the side or in back of their city homes have ample opportunity to raise both flowers and vegetables" Beattie says. Probably the propa- ganda Of late on the need of going vegetable-wise for health has arous- ed many home keepers to the need of having cheap fresh vegetables at hand.
 We are advising the small house. holder this year to plant lima beans on the fence that separates his lot from his neighbors. let the vine climb 1 the yield. The lima bean vine also Is an admirable shade vine. and is productive as we'll as ornamental trimming to the lattice work of the back porch.
 Kitchen window boxes can be used effectively for planting small greens such as parsley and chives. They make pretty foliage trimming for a bright kitchen and make avail able a sprig of green for use in cooking any time"

 Peter Rabbit had left Bobby Coon at the Laughing Brook in the Green Forest Peter was disappointed. He was quite disappointed. He had hoped to learn from Bobby Coon more about Bobbys cousins in the sunny South. was because Bobby didn't know anything about those cousins. Until Peter had mentioned them Bobby had never heard Of them. He pretended not to believe in them. But just as soon as Peter was out of sight Bobby Coon started off through the Green Forest. He had forgotten all about fishing He was just as full of curiosity as Pe- ter was.
 T wonder where I'll find Scrap per the Songbird," muttered Bobby to himself. "I must talk to him. ] must hear from his own mouth these things that Peter has been telling me about. I suppose Scrap per is up in the Old Orchard. That is no place for me. l won't go over there"
 Bobby resolutely turned about and started off in another direction. He was headed for a certain hollow tree where he intended 10 sleep the remainder of the day. But the nearer he got to that tree tn slow CT he moved. Finally he stopped al together. Perhaps l won't have to go clear over to the old Orchard" thought he. Perhaps I won't have to go any farther than the edge of the Green Forest. IL won't do any harm to go that far anyway. ] would like to know about those cousins Of mine, if I've got any. who live down in that land where Scrap per the kingbird passes through on his way 10 his winter home. Prob ably lt's all stuff and nonsense, hut I should like 10 talk with Scrappor. If I could talk 10 Scrappor I could soon tell if he were talking inc truth
 Bobby Coon looked back. Then he turned and looked up at the hollow tree, for he had almost reached tt. Within was q soft bed. Bobby thought of that bed longjngly. But he knew that if be should curl up in it he couldn't 20 to sleep. He knew that curiosity wouldn't let him go 10 sleep. Once more he looked back. Then he turned and slowly began to retrace his steps. He was going over 10 the edge Of the green For est where it adjoins the old Orch- ard on the chance that Scrapper the klngbird might happen along that way.
 When Bobby reached the edge Of the Green Forest he pecped forth very cautiously. He could her the voice of Scr1pper the kinghird. Scrapper was not far away, The longer he listened the more Bobby wanted 10 go over there. But il was broad daylight and the old Orchard was no place for him in broad day light.

 Huh" said Bobby. Hes no cousin of mine
 You're sure you don't want me to send Scrapper over here? ?' said Peter.
