BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES

Dearest Nom:
You mustn't let yourself be dis
turbed over the subjects the kids
choose to talk about nowadays.
Franks right-you've got to sound
deep if you want people to listen to
you. And what's the difference,
anyway? When cveryonf's doing it
there's no occasion for any shoot
ing.
went to lunch with Shirley Wells
at her home the other day. Mrs.
Wells gave US song and dance about
the tough talk of the younger gen.
Grafton. It made me tired to listen
to her because I know darn well that
lot of our swearing and hard-boiled
expressions are thrown into the con-
versation just to shock people who
don't understand us. We've been
criticised SO much we think we
might as well give the anvil chorus
something to knock.
If Shirley weren't always telling
her friends to watch their step when
her mas lowering around I'd have
said just what I thought, and it was
plenty. But we all like Shirley and
try to avoid disturbing her masters
mental equilibrium.
After lunch we went up to Shir-
ley's room and she had q cigaret.
Opened the windows first 50 there
wouldn't be any smoke in the room
to tell tales. I suppose some peo-
pie would call her a hypocrite but I
don't. She's old enough to decide
things like that for herself; and if
her mother wants to try to dictate
to her think she's q dear to pretend
to stand for it even If she does have
her own way in private. Some girls
l know would not only get . laugh
out of being bossed but they'd hand
back q line Of slangology that would
curl the air.
And that's the joke Of it. A lot Of
parents are afraid Of . young boy
or girl who talks back. The kids get
wise to this timidity and cater to it
because it gives them the upper hand.
They've been called tough and they're
going to live up to their rep.

Illinois Should Be For Lowden
(Chicaro Tribune|


Former Governor Frank o. Lowden Of Him.
ois has had Endorsed to him more than fifty
delegates from South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri,
and other states, to the Republican national
convention. He was the first of the Repub-
lican candidate in field other than his own
state to win convention delegation. That
was expected on his record and qualifications
and he is to be congratulated on developing his
voting strength according to form.
MIR. Lowden is the Illinois candidate and so
far as is indicated he will be the only Illinois
candidate in any Of the primaries. If he is op-
posed in his own state it will b with false
and deceptive issue. President Coolidge is not
= candidate. His decision has been respected
generally, but here in Lowden's own state some
fractional opponents, with William Hale Thomp-
son ct their head, seek to use the name Of the
President to take Illinois votes from the Him
oils candidate.
The animus in this dates back to the war.
when L0wden as governor and Thompson as
mayor were in conflict on = question Of loyal
support Of the United States. If the candidacy
OF President Coolidge is introduced into the L.
linois selection and instruction Of delegates it
will be purely fictitious, intended merely to
give Mr.. Thompson control Of the delegates.
The state should support its candidate. In his
policies he represents Illinois and it, neighbors.
He u midwest candidate on midwest plat
form and he deserves the support Of his own
state.

Washington, March 19.-One OBJ
serves with something akin to in
dignation that at least one con-
gressmen who throws large and pop
ular annual liquor parties here for
his friends voted in favor Of the
Prohibition Bureaus policy Of using
poisons to make alcohol unfit for
beverage purposes.
The question doubtless will 20 un.
answered whether this gent was
thinking more Of the votes back
home than Of the health Of his
friends or whether it's just that he
is confident of his source Of supply.
Probably the latter, ~ no one re-
ported sick after the last party.
The large signs jutting out into
the offices Of the Senator'S Walsh,
Tom of Montana and Dave Of Massa-
chusetts, do no indicate any lack
OF modesty. Other senator's are con-
tent with minute bronze plates with
their last names and abbreviations
of their states, the same being hard
to read.
But Senator Dave moved from the
third to the fourth floor of the Sem
ate Office Building and took an Of
flee about two doors from Senator
Toms. So many Of Senator Dawes
callers wandered in on Senator Tom
and so many Of Senator Toms call
ers were ushered in to Senator Dave
that their secretaries decided to erect
signs large enough to end the con-
fusion.
This Senator Robert F. Wagner Of
New York is doing q great deal to
aid the reputation Of Tammany Hall
in Washington. Wagner, who deliv-
cred his maiden speech on his reso-
luton for an investigation Of unem-
ployment, which was promptly or
dered, determined ct the outset to be
real senator and master his job
as soon as it could be done. Early
in the session one found him read
ing such Informative volumes as
THE American Government" "The
American Senate" and 1.-THE Condi-
ton Of Agriculture in the United
States and Measures for Its Improve
ment." He had gained q wealth Of
legislative experience in Albany, but
he frankly admitted that he was
down here to learn the science Of
government.

| The fact that the acoustics Of the executive
ffices in the White House are none too good
hay account for the fact that Mr.. Coolidge has
cen reported by one Washington correspond
Int to have selected summer white house
q Minnesota and by another as having decided
. spend his vacation near the national capital
Before the presidents summer plans are Of
Fcially announced there will be many other
UGH reports. And in the interim the white
louise family will consider, either on its own
fOlition or because of the power of suggestion,
|bout every summer resort in the forty Eight
ftates. Some resorts, knowing they will not

lending an invitation to the executive mansion,
Ind others good enough for president will
bake strong bids for the patronage of the pres
fent and his vacation camp followers"
If Mr.. Coolidge is considering vacation
Sithin easy access to Washington, he can have
bis choice of many alluring pastoral, mountain
md seashOre scenes. There is no end of popu-
br summer resorts within two hundred miles
6 the national capital and he could find in the
|ame radius many suitable private estates.
Wherever he may go and whatever he may
Moose to do, his will not be an absolute vaca-
ion. For him there will be no privacy, no
tpughing it. no freedom from the cares of busi-
hess; and, being thrifty New Highlander. he
kill doubtlessly worry about the expenses like
very other vacationist.

hat he is several weeks behind in the pay

Investigating Charity"

The American Bankers Association keeps
hammering away at the cry: Before you in
vest, investigate; and it is doing all of us a
service thereby.
The latest easy-money racket it has uncov-
cred is the charity RATTLE" 1t has discovered
that millions of dollars go to line the pockets
Of promoters of these affairs. The promoters
contract with some charitable institution to
raise money by rafting off an automobile or
some other valuable article; they sell the
tickets to public that thinks it is contribut-
ing to worthy cause; but the charitable or
ganization usually collects only about 26 cents
on every dollar taken in, the remainder going
to the promoters.

Occasional indiscretions in eating
are not ordinarily noticed because
the liver makes the necessary ad-
justments and saves the careless eat
ers' lives by screening out the food
poisons and recovering them into
more bic with which the injured In
festival membranes are bathed, thus
preventing further putrefaction.
The condition known as "bilious-

liver is no longer able to stand so
much punishment, or because the
thickened bile blocks the inflamed

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: F. I. G. asks: Twill
you kindly tell me what causes the
hair to fall out in spots? I have
never taken ether. Some say that
causes such a condition. Am in APP
parent good health, 30 years old"
Answer: When the hair comes out
in spots it is often because of some
glandular arrangement in your body,
but may be due to the local infection
from microorganism which has To-
Gated in your scalp. Have your
head shaved, take ultraviolet light
treatments on your scalp, take a
short fast and then live on q diet
such as recommended each Saturday
in this column.
Question: Mrs. j. Y. asks:
SHOULD not cheese and raw carrots
and other raw foods be fed children
three years of age?"

can be fed any foods suitable for
adults. The foods you have men,
toned may often be used to advant-
age when the child is only two years
old, but the proportions and COM
binations of foods must be carefully
watched. Send for a special article
on Feeding the Baby After Wean-
ing"

"My father, 70 years old, is troubled
with asthma. He has tried eating an
orange for breakfast, but nurse has
told him that going out in the cold

make the asthma worse. Do you
recommend dieting?"
Answer: Any typical asthmatic
case which is not too complicated
with other disorders can be cured
through diet treatment alone.
Special instructions will be sent up
or request.

IN NEW YORK

New York, March 19.-Nothing is
quite so forlorn and depressing as
the average night club by day.
Once gay rooms now seem dipped
in unlit gloom. An outer doorway,
sadly in need of paint, hangs halt
open, letting q dusty splash Of sun
light filter through. The hangings
seem suddenly to have taken on the
worn look Of last years circus cos
tunes or Of the year-before-last's
chorines.
The crack Of open doorway reveals
chairs piled one on the other, as NOV
ers pile them when undertaking
rush job. Deep lavender shadows
grow steadily blacker, obscuring
whole corners. The gilt figures
seem like the cherubs of the circus
parade caliopes at the end of tour
through the sand belts. The big bass
drum, with its painting of Mt. Etna,
assumes = spectral quality on the
musicians stand. Without the
lights, without the crowds, without
the music, the entertainers and the
hip TASKS, the tawdriness and cheap
ness Of the scene are doubly accent
uated.
In fact there il very little Of
Broadway that can stand the test Of
the sunlight. The great electric
signs that make the "gay white
way" appear sadly in need Of Z bath.
The little shops betray the cheap
ness Of their wares and theater lob
bies seem little more than gray cav
erns. The racks containing the pho.
tos Of beautiful girlies reveal the
need Of . good busting. The CATCH
penny attractions seem little more
than that. The corner 'sorange
drink" stands are cluttered with
tired-looking girls, most Of whom
seem to need . square meal and q
good nights sleep. Most Of tho
gayety Of the traffic is lost AMI the
mill routine Of daily toll. The men
who rush back and forth are intent
on business deals. There is little to
lure the eye in the way Of building
fronts. Even on matinee days the
chattering, well-dressed debutantes
add little to the picture.
~
No, it takes shutdown and the IL
fusion OF lights and glitter to bring
Broadway to life! Even the weariest
eyes now seem to sparkle. An infec-
ton spreads along the highway.
People who have no place to 60 give
the impression Of hurrying to some
gay rendezvous. The air is charged
with brewing romance. Something
Of the spirit Of . masquerade runs
just below the surface. Tens Of
thousands are wearing gay masks
and trying to forget themselves.
And that's the spirit Of Broadway
it's the avenue Of escapes; the place
where You try to forget the menu
cries You checked at home; the play
