He just jumps right out into the air. He knows he is bound to land in that trcctop. There. he has landed. He has caught hold of branches with all four feet and is going on. Watch the others. Out and down they go! And every one of them catches hold of the branches of that tree below. They do 1t just as if it were nothing at all.
 Now they have found a tree where they can get their dinner. There are young tender leaves in the center of every clump of leaves. for the leaves on this kind of tree grow in clumps.

|Men' s Underwear
 | Grows Feminine
Once Athletic Garment
 Now Becomes Esthetic.

New York. April .1.-Gaudy mems underwear. The proper under pinnngs for Mir. Man this summer are some of these fancy patterned and highly colored. shorts, with shirts of plain color.
 In cut, these new suits arc like the trunks and pull-overs of track suits. Some of the trunks have fancy belts. The majority still are made of cotton. though silk underwear has a growing clientele among the better dressed class. Silks are mostly plain colored-in pastel greens lavender and blue.
 Viewing for the first time a win dow display of these new striped. checked. polka dotted and ,,ll-over print patterned cotton shorts gives one the same dizzy sensation a Kaleidoscope induces.
 And Thcs'rc Popular For not only the patterns are startling. The colors leave abso- lutely nothing suppressed. Vivid red and white strips, smart black and white checks, tiny flowered design in garish green, yellow and vermilion with a dash of black delicate purple traceries on a lav- cndcr background, orange dots and dashes on tan-thcse arc only a few of the visions that meet and actually appeal, strange as it may seem.
 l Stores report that men are buy ing their own, when 1t comes to underwear nowadays. A few years ago women purchased as much as f so per cent of mems underwear. but with the choice of color and i pattern appearing on the horizon. /; men find they trust decide the i'm portant question themselves.
 Wide Choice In Stripes l Choosing his own underwear proves no easy task this spring, however. For there arc far more colo-s and designs in shorts than there are in shirts this year. Fra ternty and novelty stripes have perhaps the largest choice to off, fer. They come in fine, wide or novelty stripes in just about every color combination.
 For the more or less conserva. tive man there are mild checks tr light blue on white, yellow on tan red on cream. For the individual ist there are dot and dash" pat terms, modernistic designs tha use playing cards for patterns with diamonds, clubs and so ol in gay color and even figured prints of tiny rcd and white cher ries and green leaves on a grey o pale green background.
 Conservative Models
 If man can't quite bring him self to really gaudy underwear there are the very conservative new shorts in pale color. or whit with nothing more than smar stripe down it's side seams.
 Jaunty no end. It may talk some time for the American maj to be entirely sold on the idea o pastel colorcd silk 'undies." Bu judging from actual sales report it should not take many season for him to step out of the olt white and into the new colorfuI Hitting shorts and shirts.

Spring Salads
 Are Suggested
Sister Mary Recommends Attractive Green Dishes.
BY SISTER MARY

The salads that bloom III the spring, a-la do much to whct jaded appctites. 'Twould seem that in no other department of cookery have there been 50 many delightful inno- vations and intriguing combinations We have come far from the potato and chicken salads of our grand mothers adventures in the art.
 Decorative Salads
 The salad of today can be so at tractive and colorful that it is one of the most important features Of luncheon or dinner.
 But even the most artful salad in the world can be spoiled and made tasteless by carclessly pre- pared greens. No matter whether the salad plant is used as a gar nish or actually forms the main part of the dish the same care must be used in its preparation. Lettuce, cndive, romaine. water cress-all of .hese greens require the same attention.
 | Have Greens Crisp
 Az soon as the lettuce or salad plant comes from the market, put it into a. large painful of cold water to freshen. Edges of leaves that are bruised beyond revival IT water should be clipped off wltl the kitchen shears. Wash through several waters. holding each lesl under running water al a sharI angle. Let the washed greens stand in cold water to completed, cover until crisp. Then dralr carefully and wrap in a soft towel Place on ice until needed. The moisture that inevitably clings tt the leaves will be absorbed by tht cloth and the dampness will keeI the lettuce deliciously crisp.
 If there is not time for this lei. surely chilling and drying, put tht greens after washing and crispins into q large square of cheesecloth Gather corners loosely in a knot allowing plenty of room for the greens and swing the bundle wig orously, making twelve or fifteeI evolutiOns at arms length. Ther' are wire baskets for drying lettuce on the market that are very mucl worth while, but the calisthenic with the cheesecloth square effec the same results.
 The condition of the meat, vege tables or fruit used in the salat is the next consideration.
 Uncooked vegetables should b crisp and tender. cut in dice o shreds convenient to eat. Cooked vegetables should be firm an' tender and cut in neat, uniform size: Mushy. shapeless pieces ar far from attractive.
 Cut Ingredients Carefully , Meat should be free from fal bone. skin or grlstle and cut |

neat dice, not too small but of 3 size that requires no cutting ill the finished sHiai.
 Fish should he free from bones, skin and fat and broken into large flakes or cut as needed.
 Never let greens stand with 2 French dressing over them before serving as they will be sure to wilt. Any dressing will cause the green salad plant 10 wilt after :, reasonable length of time but the acid of q French dressing act; more directly than that of q dress ing made with eggs.
 Whrn d French dressing is used. the salad should be mixed at the table or the dressing passed for each person to help himself. In mixing q salad at the table the bowl must be large enough to al- low thorough mixing of the leaves and must be well chilled. Sprin- >le with salt and pepper. then pour over oil, lifting and tossing with two forks until each leaf is coated. Then add vinegar or lem on juice If the vinegar is poured over the greens first, the oil will not stick to the wet leaves. Calcu- late l tablespoonful Of oil with 1-2 as much or l teaspoon lemon juice | for each person to be served "Marinatcd' Vegetables
 Meats and vegetables used in 1 salad combinations usually shoulI | be allowed to stand in q Frcnc, 1 dressing for an hour before mixing to serve. This process is known as 'marinatinG" and adds to inc richness and flavor of the salad. The following combinations are rather unusual and may suggest others 10 you:
 Swcethrcad and mushroom sal- 3J. Arrange on crisp lettuce. gar niah with strips Of pimento. Moist cn with n,ayonnaise. 4 luncheon or supper salad.
 Potatoes, new beets, sardines and hard cooked eggs. Arrange on crcss end moisten with mayon- naise. Luncheon or supper salad. For Dinner, for supper
 Ham. potato and celery salad. Arrange on curly endive, moisten with msyonnaise and garnish with hard cooked eggs. Luncheon sal- ad.
 Jellicd salad or pineapple and cucumber Serve on lettuce with mayonnaise. Garnish with chop ped nuts. A combination dinner salad taking the place of dessert as well as supplying the salad course
 Prune and cheese salad. Ar range on French endive and serve with French dressing. A dinner salad.

Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHRElN Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association aud Of lily

 Once upon a time the skin was regarded merely as covering of the human body. or as sort of envelop to hold the tissues together. Nowa- days it is realized that the skin is one Of the most important organs we have and that it carries on all sorts of important functions in re- lation to the prevention and cure of disease.
 Of course the skin acts as q radiating surface 10 permit the dissipation of heat and to stabilize the temperature Of the body. It also keeps the body from drying up through the evaporation of the fluid ill the body, although the glands that are in the skin help to get rid of water from the body through the sweat.
 There are also other glands in the skin that secret an oil or grease. On the palms of the hands there arc more than five l thousand sweat glands in a square inch of surface.
 Marrcd Skin
 Most people are disturbed when the skin i. n,arred or varied by moles, warts. freckles. tanning or other changes from the white of which the white man is so un- necessarily, proud. Changes in the color of the skin are due to the 1 effects of light. The burning of the skin that follows exposure to the sun is mostly a light effect.
 The rays cause the deposit of pigment in the skin. Later the blood may carry away the pig ment, but if it gets into layers of the skin where the blood cannot act upon it the augmentation re- mains. Pigments are also depos. ited in relationship to wounds or inflammation of the skin. and color changes occur around scars.
 Drug substances can get into the skin by mixing with the grease and then being picked UT by the blood. Mercury has beer given in this way for many years.
 Any substance that dissolve! grease. such as gasoline, ether oI henzol. also can be taken into tn. body through the skin.
 Aniline oil. nitrobenzcnc, ant similar substances are dangerous when placed in contact with th' skin since very small doses O these substances will change th, chemical nature Of the blood an, produce severe poisoning.
 How It Reacts
 As a mirror of the condition in the human body the skin react 10 sensitiEation of the body l. various protein substances b eruptions in the form of blister and wheals. Physicians take ad vantage of this fact nowadays ( find out whether or not perso is susceptible to various bacteria poisons.
 On the basis of this knowledge |, investigators have developed tn Schick test for diphtheria, tn Dick test for scarlet fever and tn various skin tests for asthma, ha fever. and similar conditions.
