Humor as a Shock Absorber
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

and sarcasm, however, laugh provoking
the latter may be, are alike. Sarcasm
always has its keen edge that cuts some
body. 1t is weapon to be used SPAR
ingly. Put to proper use 1t can be ex-
cellent, but it is not true wit nor healthy
humor. The sarcastic person is one of
whom his friends are wary and whose
acquaintances often hesitate to grow
closer to. Sarcasm should seldom enter
into family conversation. It may prove
like two-edged sword, hurting the one
who uses it as well as the one toward
whom it is aimed.
Caricaturing can be humorous or it
can be troublesome. If the foibles of a
person are considered in kindly and
friendly way and little eccentricities are
portrayed in good humor, the laughter
provoked is minus annoyance. If, how
ever, person is made to appear in a
poor light and greatly at q diSadvan-
tage, the fun has its note Of scorn or
contempt, and good humor is not fur
thered. Then it Is little better than
sarcasm, If any more so. Caricaturing,
therefore, is not the sort Of humor that
eases the bumps of life.
The sort of humor that adds to the
joy of living, that is the real shock alb
Sorber, is the ability to see fun in cir
cumstances, in odd occurrences, in re-
marks curiouSly put. that may or may
not be meant to hurt. The person who
can laugh at an intended thrust puts
the person making 1t at such a dis
advantage that the tables are complete
ly turned. The person who can see the
amusing element in what might be an
awkward situation can usually keep
others as well as himself from being
bothered. He is said to "Save the situa-
tion." The annoyance is averted Just
as truly by his or her sense of humor
as are the rough places in a road robbed
for motorists of their discomfort by the
shock abSorbers on an automobile.

BEAUTY CHATS

A Clean Skin.
never care much for ordinary cold
creams as skin cleansers. They are all
right but most of them are too waxy
and heavy. The ordinary sort are noth-
ing but mineral oil, rose water and
some wax and spermacetti and perfume,
exactly like the formula print so often
in this column. There are other KINDS.
The newest is a vanishing cream which
goes in and is washed off. There are
several vanishing creams which can be
used this way.
Personally prefer cream which is
almost running oil. In fact, really
prefer an oil, though for my own use
/ usually have q sort of cream made
from oil and q little wax. There's not
enough wax to make it at all solid, just
enough to make it little stickier than
oil. In hot weather this becomes al
most liquid, but If the days are cold 1t
almost congeals.
A cream as thin as this penetrates
| into the pores more readily than
| thickish cream. It is therefore quicker

Ruth S.-The roughened appearance
of your skin after you have powdered
may be due to something in the powder
that disagrees with your skin, or 1t may
be the vanishing cream you use as
base for the powder. Evidently the en-
larging of the pores is temporary. but
you had better try another kind of
powder and cream before this condition
becomes stubborn one.

Baby Graves Leather Diet.

"pIease tell me what to do about my
bab-- 1917 months. She Graves leather
and licks the soles of shoes-any shoes.
She sucks her own until the dye comes
off in her mouth. She has only six
teeth. although more are coming. She
will take milk. refusing cereals. fruits
and vegetables, etc. She takes two quarts
of milk a day Up to two months ago
she had a good appetite, but had an
| intestinal upset. and that seemed to
throw her of the schedule. and she is
losing weight. tried keeping milk
| from her. but she cried until she lost
her breath so don't know what to do.
| MRS. e"
! In the first place, you must stop the
shoe-licking habit Immediately by
/ keeping shoes out of her way and per-
haps by putting splints on her knees
so she can't get her feet to her mouth.
| Her habit is known as a plea. which
expresses itself by eating non edible
substances. 1t may be simply habit
or may show a mineral need.
Undoubtedly your baby is expressing
mineral craving, due to her one-sided
diet. She likes her milk and is salts
fed with it, and therefore won't take
anything else. You may have to take
it all away from her for a day or two,
then gradually allow her three to four
glasses a day seldom is more than a
quart necessary. Put the foods that
she ought to have before her, and if she
doesn't touch them let her go hungry
and let her cry. She may cry until she
| holds her breath-that's a common
phenomenon--but she'll catch 1t again.
She can't help it. She'll do 1t sooner
If you throw little cold water in her
face When she gets hungry enough
she'll eat.
A child of nearly Is months should
be having a ver'' full diet. III give
you a diet which you can follow. She
won't take all of this at first. but you
can gradually work her UP to 1t. I'll
repeat what I have warned mothers OF
before. Tell your neighbors what you
are doing so they won't think you are
cruel If possible, take the baby to a
children's specialist or to a clinic and
have some specific diet outlined for her

A Sermon for Today
By REV. JOHN R. GUM.
Mans Importance.
Copyright, lo2s.)

Text: when I consider Thy heavens,
the work of Thy fingers, the moon and
the stars, which Thou has ordained;
what is man, that Thou art mindful of
him, and the son of man that Thou
visitest him?"-Ps. 8:3-4.
The psalmist does not mean to ques-
ton the value and Importance of man.
He is not questioning whether man,
amidst all the splendors and wonders
of the universe, is worthy to be visited
by the Almighty Man is the crown of
Gods creation. David recognizes this
fact and realizes that in the Divine
Mind man outweighs all the multi
tudinous and stupendous orhs Of the
material universe. Amidst all the
magnificence of this vast system of
universal nature, man Is not forgotten
by his Maker; His hand supports him,
His wisdom guides him and His eX-
cellent goodness provides. In a thousand
ways, for his happiness and enjoyment.
I think all this was in the mind Of
the psalmist when he asked the ques-
ton in the text.
Man is of greater value and more inn
portance than the whole vast material
universe-think of it! With countless
millions of suns and moons and stars to
engage His attention, God never forgets
to be mindful of man. Indeed, His In
terest centers in man. Man Is not only
the crown of the Divine creation. but
he is the chief object Of the Divine in
terest and activity.
Then, since God is so deeply con-
cerned for us, since He has placed upon
us an estimate beyond sun, moon, stars
and all His material handiwork, and
since He has made such abundant pro-
vision for our happiness and well-being,
surely all this should awaken in every
man the keenest sense Of his import
ance, thrill him with deepest emotions
and inspire him with the loftiest aspi-

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Friday, November %.


Astrologers read tomorrow as a con-
fusing and vexatious day in which large
affairs should be wisely postponed.
Hindrances and handicapS may seem
to affect many activities and while the
sway prevails 1t is well to make haste
slowly.
The early morning is fairly favorable
for employees and they should then
find their employers more amenable
to suggestion than later in the day.
Changes In customs which will mark
reactionary social influences will be a
sort not to be condemned in so far
as they will bring about horror Of all
that is not in good taste, the seers ex-
plain.
Tomorrow is not favorable day for
making new acquaintances of opposite
sex, astrologers announce, for men will
be critical and even elusive.
Women are subject to adverse in
fluences under this planetary govern
ment and should avoid sentiment. Love
affairs are likely to be sadly disappoint-
ing.
There is an especially threatening
sign for aviation.
While adverse stars may direct the
navigators of the air they are assured
that 1929 is to be year of amazing
benefits in which perils are lessened
by the acceptance of new inventions.
Women are warned that this year
is not altogether lucky for adventures
in aviation, but they may expect marve-
lous advantages in the future.
Many marriages are foretold for the
next three months.
Persons whose birth date it Is should
be exceedingly careful to avoid flirta-
tions in the coming year when scandals
affairs probably will be more satisfac-
tory than love affairs.

Old Mother Nature.

Rusty the Fox Squirrel was very COM
fortably fixed for the Winter. He had
plenty Of food stored away and so had
nothing to worry about. He spent his
days eating and growing fat. And
Rusty Is one who can put on fat. He
grew very plump and he was very
tumn days. The cool air made him
feel good. There really is no more
beautiful season than the lovely days
of Autumn. Best of all, Rusty had
little to worry about for there we're
fewer enemies about here than he had
ever known.
Then came morning when Rusty
awoke with strange, uncomfortable
feeling. He didn't know how to ac-
count for it, He wasn't sick. 1t was
just q feeling that something was
wrong. He poked his head out of the
entrance to his home. Jolly, round,
bright Mr.. Sun had just began his daily
climb up In the blue, blue sky. 1t was
going to be a beautiful day. There
wasn't q cloud in all the sky. Rusty
came out and started for his breakfast.
All the time he had strange feeling

was wrong. He had no appetite. He

Finally he climbed back up in his tree.

to himself. There isn't sound. That's
queer. / don't hear bird. 1 haven't
seen any one SO far this morning. I
wonder what it means. On beautiful
morning like this. there should be a
lot Of people around"
Presently he did hear rustling of
leaves. Looking down he saw a dog.
That dog didn't interest him much. He
had nothing to fear from that dog.
Dogs cannot climb trees. This dog was
running about with his nose to the
ground. Presently he reached the SPOT
where Rusty had been running about
looking for nuts. His tail began to wag
furiously. This way and that way he
ran, wherever Rusty had been Finally
he stopped at the foot of the tree and
looked up. Then he began to bark.
How he did bark! Rusty didn't know
what to make of it. It had been SO
still In the woods that that barking
seemed great deal louder than it
really was. Rusty didn't like it. He
wished that dog would go away. Still
he wasn't afraid What was there to
be afraid of? Barking wouldn't hurt

carrying a terrible gun Rusty recog-
nized that. This was no air rife such
as the boys had hunted him with dur
ing his long journey. This was one of
those terrible sticks that spat fire and
smoke and hurt or killed at a distance.
Rusty knew now what had been
wrong with the morning. He knew now
why he had felt so uneasy. He knew
now why everything had been so still.
The spirit Of fear was abroad In the
land. The hunting season had begun.
the season Of death to those who had
done no harm. The season that the
hunted never can understand. The
spirit Of fear had gone abroad and ali
the little people In feathers and fur
had felt 1t, and that is why the wood
land had become so strangely silent.
Rusty whisked around the other side
of the tree and anxiously peered to-
ward the hunter. The hunter was look
ing up in that tree, for he knew by
the barking Of his dog that Squirrel
had gone UP that tree. Rusty knew
the hunter was looking for him and
his heart beat little faster.

KEEPS PIPES IN
HOUSEHOLD OPEN
Two Minutes Care a Week
Can Save Costly Plumbers
Bills and Torn-up Floors

Slow-running drain pipes are
the most aggravating of nuisances
except a torn-up floor and
plumber bills. Both are unneces-
sary. Both can be avoided
thanks to Red Seal Lye.
Two minutes does it, once
week. Just shake a small quantity
into hot water and flush out with
more hot water. That is all that
is necessary if you use Red Seal
Lye. For Red Seal Lye is 97To
pure lye. The quickest, SureSt,
most economical made It dis
solves vegetable matter, matted
hair and grease as fast as water
does salt. 1t leaves drain pipes
clean, sanitary, free-flowing.
Keep one of the handy Red Seal
cans in the kitchen. This saves
useless steps.
And now (while you are think
ing about it) put down "a can of
Red Seal Lye" on your grocery
list. Then make 1t a habit (like
winding the kitchen clock) to fol-
low this simple rule of "2 minutes

Never again will you have a
slow running, annoying drain
pipe-or plumber ripping up
your floors to take a pipe apart.

small insurance premium against
such unnecessary nuiSances.
