Woman Jeweler
| Winning Laurels

The trend of the times favors the
woman leweler, in the opinln OF
one of them. Mrs. Abby Prather,
designer and specialist in jewels.
Size an dthe price of jewels no
longer guide woman in selecting
her jewels" Mrs. Prather pointed
out, Jewels now must express
the personality Of the wearer.
Therefore subtle and Elusive fac
tors enter the choice. This is where
the woman jeweler gets her big
opportunity.
This new attitude towards
jewels furnishes infinite possibili-
ties in choosing Just the right jew
els to harmonic with distinct
types of beauty. Naturally a wo-
man has more intuitive sympathy
in such matters than man.
Every woman should study her
dominant color scheme. the note
of her personality, her carriage
and such details and only wear
those jewels which harmonic and
best express herself.
The selection of jewelry Is a
fine art. A too striking personal
ity can be toned down or a shy
and unassuming woman can gain
from the right jewelry Just the
note she needs in self assertion. In
selecting what jewels to wear
with different costumes. on differ

ways do something for their wear

grow discouraged when they don't.
That is the wrong attack. There are
certain rules, much simpler than
the rules of other enjoyable sports
or games. Learn these FIRST. Then
you can swim. You will be surprised
how easy it is.
Aside from. the pleasure. which
is what we both think Of first when
swimming is mentioned. there is the
health that Is derived from con-
slant swimming.
Best Exercise
Swimming can do more for q
person than any other single sport.

Health Hints
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN
Editor journal Of the American
Medical Association and OF Hy-
geta, the Health Magazine

geta, the Health Magazine
During the past few years news
paper health columns. popular mag
azines and much advertising matter
have urged on the public the i'm
portance of plenty Of sunlight not
only for the purpose Of preventing
ricketts, in growing children, but also
for such general effects as SUM-
light may have in building up the
resistance OF the body to infectious
disease.
1t is known that sunlight acts
upon the substance ergosterol to
produce within it vitamin D..
Hence already there are available
in drug stores concentrated prepa-
rations of vitamin D. made in this
manner. Furthermore. steenbock
of Wisconsin developed method
for exposing foods to ultraviolet
rays coming from intense sources
OF such energy, and in this way
supplying the body with its vita
min D.
1APknh ~NuS
Finally, numerous methods are
available for giving directly to
those who wish 1t concentrated
sunlight from ultra violet ray ap-
paratus.
Many physicians have viewed
with alarm the possibility that. too
much vitamin D will thus be avail
able. not only to growing children
but to the public in general. and
that harm may result from over
dosage.
In Germany recent investiga-
tons have dealt with the question
OF how much vitanin D is danger
Gus. Feeding experiments on rats
and mice indicated that the fatal
dose is very large; indeed, about
ten thousand times the dose rieces-
sary to heal disease.
In human beings at least twenty
times the usual dose daily over a
long period OF time would be
| necessary to induce serious symp-
toms. Obviously therefore the
damage is not great so fas as we
now know from the amount OF
ultra violet rays irradiated foods,
or vitamin D that the human be-
ing may receive. Z,
Vitamin kinships
IT is. of course. possible that
relationships between the Vita
Minis are important, and that toe
much OF one with too little of an
other may produce effects Of
which we now have no knowledge
1t is possible. that the anxiety Of
manufacturers IN promoting these
things may lead them to place On
the market far too many irradi-
ated products and thus affect the
infant to its disadvantage.
The public will do we'll to avail
the arrival Of actual knowledge
before considering the employ.
ment OF such foods and method,
as panacea.

Swim right or do not swim at all.
That really should be the motto
for folks who want to enjoy the
water.
We are often asked. Isn't 1t just
terribly hard to swim as you girls
do" o..
We answer. lit is easy. because
we learned the correct way frst.
Therefore everything we have done
since has helped US" For you

founder in the water expecting to

Men and women take infinite
pains to learn how to drive OF In
golf. They will spend days learning
just how the different clubs should

game is all about.
Learn the Rules
The same is true In tennis. The
rules are learned first Each stroke
means something. Children are
taught how to serve. when to use
backhand or overland and SO on.
This holds for dancing also. No one
is expected to dance just because he
is standing on a dance floor. He
learns the steps before he starts out.
But swimming is Z sport that
really is not given a fair chance.

Don t Is Bad
For Children
Frequent Use Of Word
Destroys Initiative.

Don't" is a very good word In the
family vocabulary, but like bluing,
a little bit Of 1t goes = great way.
Mothers are well aware Of the
unwisdom Of its use n well as the
futility, but they keep on saying
Don't do this" and Don't do that"
because they know no other way to
handle an undesirable situation.
1t is perfectly natural for mothers
to acquire the don't" habit. 1t
starts in the beginning from an ov-
er-developed sense OF responsibility.
As a matter Of fact it becomes 50
automatic in time there is often no
reason for it at all.
There are times when don't 10
necessary. of course. But 1t is only
a red-light for one corner. A moth
er will have to keep on hashinE it,
The child will never learn to direct
himself if mother. the traffic cop, is
going to do it for him.
But there is another vital reason
for eliminating the word. Every
time don't" is used some activity
in the child is stopped. And when
a natural impulse is stopped <curi-
osity is commonest) something else
stops. A little twig Of self-confid-
ence in his brain withers and dies
If these little twigs keep on with
ering and dying it will not be long
until he is so. full Of inhibitions
(thwarted natural impulses) he VIII
be entirely lacking in those. qualities
that make for strong character and
leadership. He will be lacking IN
initiative, an imitator, over-cautlous.
perhaps a coward.
The old saying that Johnny Don't
will never be president holds a great
truth.
Every parent must use his own
Judgment about the safety point AZ
which childish experiment should be
stopped. but psychologists tell US
that 1t is better to allow him to In
dulge his curiosity than to curb Il.
His mental and character growth de-
pend enormously upon natural I'M
pulses that are allowed to be car
ried through to 4 finish. The entire
character makeup is built upon ex-
perience. ......
Suppose a child has a hammer.
Don't snatch it from him and shout
Don't do that, Johnny"
OF course if he is banging on the
piano keys. or making dents In the
dining room table you can't be ex-
pected to cheer him on. But In
stead OF saying don't" say. Come
here, Johnny Let us hunt up an
old board and some nails" Take
Johnny to the back porch and let
him go at it. He'll pound his fin
gers most likely and cry. But he
has had the satisfaction Of seeing
his experiment carried through and
his curiosity satisfied. He may new
err touch a hammer again or II he
does 1t will be with prudence; per-
haps it takes an enormous amount
Of courage for him to pick up the
hammer the second time. But II he
does: think what is gained. Cour-
age. He has encountered 4 fear
and overcome II.
No wonder some children grow, up
to stupid nonentities. They are new
er allowed to learn. Children learn

Woman S Work
Rules Changing
Shanghai Is No Longer
Mecca for Indolent.

Shanghai, July Z. R1The last
days Of Shanghai as = paradise for
working girls are at hand. say resi-
dent observers who have watched
the gay. slowmoving city Of few
years ago lose its smile under the
grip Of western efficiency.
Once a mecca for girls from all
countries seeking freedom from
household cares. 4 fair wage and
easy hours, the business community
OF Shanghai has been obliged by
competition and the rush Of affairs
to adopt the habits Of an American
town.
Here was q place where lifs's
drudgeriss could be turned over to
a willing Chinese servant at small
expense and women's tailors were
plentiful to carry out ones fashion
whims at intellectually low prices
Salaries were good and there was
enough Of the social whirl to COM
pensate for the unfortunate acci-
dent Of having to work for a living
One could have pleasures which
in other parts Of the world were
within reach OF but the strictly lei
sure classes. Bosses were gener-
Gus and easy-going. for the most
part capable OF understanding that
ea-dancing must be done and that
office hours must not be too rigid
or business demands too insistent.
Jobs for girls are scarce where
once they were plentiful. secreta-
rial positions are almost never open
to a newcomer ana stenographers
are not In the demand. There ars
more stenographers to be had and
competition for jobs IL keen. In
addition there are now hundreds
Of girls whose homes are In shang-
hal who are willing to work for less
pay than her foreign rival and she
gets many Of the jobs once going
to girls from abroad.
With Shanghai steadily growing,
housing conditions for working
girls are. not a. pleasant Is years
ago when life was ut a slower pace.
The girls hotels and clubs and
similar orga nizations Of other me-
tropolises are not to. be found In
Shanghai. Little attention has been
paid to the welfare Of the Shanghai
girl who works for living. shanS-
hal has its boarding houses but AZ
vet there is not even symptom
of modern solutions for housing the
business girl. as Is being done In
other parts Of the world.
But in spite Of these adverse con-
ditions for business girls, there II
