Health Hints

 The increasing attention given throughout the world to the ques- tioh of alcohol consumption has prompted d report of some of tn" recent observations by physicians dealing with this matter.
 The British clinician Wilson has classified women who drink to eA- cess into three groups: CD the in- different. consisting mostly of self indulgrnt, rich women; t2) feeble minded women of all grades of mental defect; t3) ncurotic Womcr W ho take to alcoholism as an eS- cape from sense of loneliness, rc. gret, fear, remorse or some othei type of pain.
 It has been the general impress sion of physicians that addiction to drugs of various sorts represents primarily mental problem, and that the control of the problem de- bends on d study Of the mental cause and of it's removal. Indeed, another investigator has asserted that tn" almost universal instinct Of various people to pro- ! duce some form of alcoholic bcN- craze has arisen from a natural re- action against eye-strain. For this. | however. there is not great deal of cvid cnce.
 l As to the amount of alcohol pre- scribed by physicians. there seems i to be generally tendency to pre- 1 scribe less and less in the treat ment of disease. In the United States the minority of the medical
 profession has applied for the It. consc to prescribe alcohol. How
 ever. in Finland. according to Schm ol icrs. it is stated that only
 70 10 30 of all the doctors have i failed to claim official permission. The significance of this fact

 "The outstanding successes at tained by individual women in diff ferent lines of endeavor provide a noteworthy example of progress. But the cooperative efforts Of women toward group accomplishment is of vastly more importance.
 When women learn not to let the small issues block the vision of the big ones. they will be more worthy than ever of the admiration of men. VI

 Skirts, by American women's standards. will be longer. Paris has been wearing them several inches below the knee since early sum- mer. They remain the same length at most dressmakers, us- ually with uneven hemlines which make length difficult to judge.
 The silhouette, in general, is straight or follows the natural curve. Hips arc smoothly fitted regardless of whether the skirt flares or hangs straight.

 The French fabric manufacturer! are presenting fall materials witt | many distinctive weaves. New Woolens, with diagonal zig gag, al over pattern are extensively em ployed, and the new metalli' cloths, printed velvets and bro caded silks are examples of moderl industrial art.
 Short furs many of them shaved fox. mink and sable are the mos used, with a great deal of erminin on black and white costumes. Rab bit has by no means disappeare' for day wear and beaver, dyed rich dark brown. is a favorite fu for use on coats of wool or twee mixture.

WHEAT FIRST IN
SLIGHT UPTURN
IN OPENING PITS
All Futures Advance FraC-
tionaIIy on Chicago
Board of Trade.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, April 23.-Wheat led
a fractional advance in grain fu-
lures at today's opening on Board
of Trade. The bulge was largely
due to short covering by traders
who had sold short" Saturday in
expectation of decided weakness
today.
Opening figures were: Wheat, Is
to &c higher; corn, Il to sc up,
and oats, 1sc higher. Provisions
opened about unchanged.
Southwest winter wheat received
more rain than over the weekend,
but the trade still believes that sec
tons where drought was most i'm
minent are still in need Of mois-
ture. Liverpool was about as eX-
pected this morning.
Corn and oats advanced largely
on the strength in wheat. Cash de-
mand for corn slumped sharply Sat
urday and this development was
reflected in a weakness Of undertone
today.
Cash demand for oats Is also be-
ing depressed by large'receiptS. The
situation is fundamentally bullish,
with stocks low and the crop dam
aged, but farmers are shipping all
the oats they can scrape together to
take advantage of the prevailing
high prices.
