LOVES EMBERS Adele Garrison's Absorbing Sequel To
 Revelations of a Wife,
Beginning . New Seria

1 Ticer opine?"
 Without emitting a single point. I related Mrs. Ticer's story of the myste rious owl hoots every third night, of Eleanor Lincoln's patent fright, and of the girls going ont into the night at each call of the owl
 She is sure that the call comes from a human throat. and that the girl is menaced by some mysterious danger
 She wouldn't have to be pos seesed of Sherlocklan powers to deduce that" Lillian said dryly. What else did she spi'l?"
 Nothing except 10 wish that you and I could devise some way to help Miss Lincoln
 Just like that" Lillian comment gers. We cant do a thing as long as the girl doesn't give us her con tidence"
 She shot furtive little look at me. and I answered it openly.
 I'm a bit remorsefui over that angle of the affair."" l said. I'm go ing to put q candle or two in the window in the hope she'll under stand the chimney seat is waiting for her"
 Do that little thing" Lillian urged. Its the only thing possible just now. Drat that Dicky-bird. ! wish l knew what was running around in his noodle. I believe he's got the key to this whole thing planted away. Only I think, man like, he probably underestinlates the danger to the girl. In the meantime. all I've got to go on is q. beautiful assortment of theories that I can't prove. oh, boy. but I'm glad that beach picnic is tomorrow. I'll be glad Of it for its own sake-I love getting down to the ocean - but above sll I want the chance I've been waiting for. to watch dear old Phil in his various reactions. In some ways his part in this mess is the most puzzlne of all"

Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 gs.ia, the Health Magazine


 In 1919 several American students of infectious diseases stressed the importance of chilling in catching a common cold.
 When the mucous membranes become chilled they lose blood supply and thereby resistance. Breathing the air in 2 room which has been overloaded causes con gestiop and hyperactivity of the mucous membranes. with fatigue of their cells. All sorts of germs have been found associated with com- mon colds and modern investiga~ tors are inclined to put more and more importance on physical fac tors in relationship to infection.
 Pneumonia and Rheumatism
 The great Pasteur. founder of our modern science of hscteriol- ogy, made studies of the effects of heat and cold on experimental in fecticns.
 In one series of experiments conducted recently the investi- gators found that mice could be infected more easily with pneu- mona germs after they were ex- posed to cold
 F. C. Eosenou. g. distinguished student of the habits of bacteria. found that more animals devel- ored infections of the joints when inoculated with the germs of rheumatic infection. If they were exposed to cold. Other Investigations revealed that certain infections could he sbortnd in their early stages by 1 the taking of hot baths. not through any direct effect on the germs. but hy increasing the blood circulation in the capillary blood vessels.
 In order to understand proper ly the way in which temperature changes may affect the reactions of the body against infections with germs. 1t is important to realize that not only the. body cells but also the germs are living 1 organisms.
 Groutl, of Germs f The germs have favorable tenn reratlres at which they grow more rapidly than in unfsvorahle 1 temperatures When the germ at ten1rts to become implanted and | to grow in the human body # ls fought by cells in the blood. h, secret,ons thrown out of the mu, rous cells. and by other body ac- ! tlv1ties
 All of these activities cf the human body are likewise affected | in various ways by temperature | changes The inability to realize i this multitude of reactions goine on simultaneously makes the diff ference between 3 one-track m.nt and a. philosophical scientific l thinker.

 Mrs. Robins explained that ahs does not pursue the pohcy of tell~ ing the girls not to smoke or not to drink. She says that she finds they will naturally not do such things. after they go through the unfortunate experiences attendant upon the experiments.

 They can understand the wild ness of youth" she told me. But the semi-detached wife of the American man is an unparalleled species to them.
 Can't See It
 'To Frenchman or an Italian it is inconceivable that a wife should want to leave her husband and fam fly and go gadding about Europe exploring cathedrals and art Ealler- ies and buying clothes-and it is even more inconceivable that any normal husband would permit it."
 One reason is. of course that no race of people travels as much as Americans, nor travels so conscienti- ously to complete its education and acquire a cultural background, as we'll as for pleasure.
 How They Travel
 ''The European travels with her husband, or with woman compsn- ion." Mrs. Kelly said. If she does not. that is the cue for others to lift suspicious eyebrows. That being the custom, they cannot realize that

Washington, Feb. IS. R-Let young people do what they want te do and they will come around to do- ing the right thing.
 This is the theory applied by Mrs. H. NJ. Robins. of Detroit Mich, to the junior club organiza- ton of the General Federation ci Women's clubs.
 The young girls" said Mrs RobinA secretary of the junior club committee of the federation who are members of our junior organization are typical of the modern generation. Some of them are wild. of course, and have ideas that many women in the senior or ganization cannot understand.
 But they are not fundamental ly wrong. They are all right. Our policy has been to give the girls a helping baud if they need it, but not to insist that they do certain things and not do certain others.
 Instead we have just let them so along as they wished, and in the long run we have found. after five years Of sponsoring the or ganizations. that they will do the

TELEVISION TALKING

Con,u>atio4, by Doaf Mutes One of
 Expectations Of Woman Expert,
 Mrs. Howard Terry.
 Reseda. Cal. Feb. 1e. R-Televi- sion conversations by deaf mutes will be possible in the near future. thinks Mrs. Howard L. Terry, ns- tionally known worker on behalf of those who have lost hearing or speech.
 ''It is wholly plausible. if the century old sign language is com bined with teleyision,'' she said. "A person with neither voice nor hearing could have his signspoken words conveyed instantly in pie lure by the new mechanical mar vel"
 Mrs. Terry. who declined a third term as president of the California Association for the Deaf, has con- secrsted her own life of silence to assisting her unfortunate fellows to it themselves into the ever- changing picture of human activity.
 We are confronted daily with new problems" she declared. "one of the most important is 10 coun- tersct the sentiment against deaf persons driving automobiles We are making progress in this, how ever. Already one large automo- bile club has been enlisted in our cause"

Nanny Meadow Mouse closed her eyes. She just couldn't watch what was happening to Danny Meadow Mouse. When she did open them Roughleg the Hawk was slowly flap ping away from the spot where Danny had been and. of course. there was no DaLny there.
 He's caught Danny sobhed Nanny. That big robber has caught Danny. Now 1 shall never. never see him again! Oh. why would Danny ho SO careless? l was afraid something like this would happen. oh, Danny. Danny, what shall ! do without you7"
 Poor Nanny She crept back down through one of the llttle holes m the snow to one of the private little paths she and Danny had made un- derneath the enow-psths that were now little tunnels. Along this she ran until 1t joined another private little path. and along this one until she came to the snug little home where she and Danny had been SO happy, Into this she crept and dis consolstely curied up ln the little bed of soft grass inside. She was broken hearted, was Nanny Meadow Mouse "oh. desn," she eohhed Why couldn't Danny have been just little bit careful? He was the hrsvest Meadow Mouse that ever lved! But he vas too bold. How many times I warned him not to take such chances And now that black robber from away up in the north has got my Danny. Oh. dear Oh. dear"
 Nanny didn't once think Of going over to the place where this terrible thing had happened. She knew what she knew and that was enough. She didn't dare go over to that big weed top where Danny had been stuffing himself with seeds when Eoughleg the Hawk appeared There rss no sense Tn running an unnecessary risk. Beeldes what good would If do? Hadn't she with her own eyes seen Roushlee strike and watched ttii'i liH away . Snu flJDn I she With her own eyes seen that Danny rae no longer there How she rould miss Danny She had missed him be lore, Danny had been ara,- on long trips, but always she had held the hope that he would come harl <ou; she had no hope. She kncw that he simply couldn't come back. Probably by now he had been eaten Nanny sobbed afresh at this dreadful thought.
 It was a long tlme before Nanny left the nest 10 visit one Of their storehouses, where 3 lot of seeds were tucked away. She had 10 eat. Even those whose hearts are filled with sorrow must eat But as she ran along through the little tunrel- under the snow, the tunnels she and Danny had made. there was alvavr something 10 remind her of Danny Yes. sir. there was always aonethinz 10 remind her Of Danny. Ii seemed as if she missed hlm moro and norr. Sae would find herself stopping to listen for sounds of him. But. of course. she listened in vain. Then Nanny would sigh such q deep, sorrowful little sigh and go on She had no ambition to make any more tunnels under the snow Sometimes she thought Of moving away from that place altoge, her. IT didn't seem as if she' could go on living there without Danny
