refrigerators are even more com mon than d certain small automo- l bile.
 Recent news dispatches told of 1 the poisoning of 20 persons in Chi cago from refrigeration systems and the deaths of 10 of these. A study of these cases has been made 1 by Dr. A. H. Kegel and Dr. w. D, McNally in the Chicago health de partment and summary of their | finds is presented below.
 The most widely used modern refrigcrators employ sulphur diox- 1 idle gas, methyl chloride gas, am monia and brine. All of the Chi cago eases resulted from escaping methyl chloride gas. Because the ! gas has no odor and does not mani ] fest itself readily by irritating the ] eye or throat, it's presence was | not detected until injurious effects l became apparent. This is not true of sulphur dioxide, which is used in most of the household refrigera-
 
 | from refrigerators thus equipped | have been reported. AS soon as | one comes in contact with it, the 1 eyes and throat immediately be- 1 come irritated and the person gen erally can escape to the open air | before harm is done.
 Also in all the cases reported at | Chicago, the refrigerators asso- i ciated with multiple unit systems that is to say with a large ma chine in the basement and re- | frigerator in the partment-wero 1 involved. None of the individual unit machines, having machine and refrigerator for the individ- ual apartment, were involved.
 In multiple unit systems, in which there is from 100 to 200 pounds of gas under a pressure of approximately 100 pounds. a leak 1 in the piping in any one unit may allow the escape of sufficient methy chloride in a single apartment tc cause deaths.
 In two cases the windows of the apartment were open and still there vas not sufficient ventilation tc protect the people from poisoning and death.
 Methyl chloride gas when inhaled tends to accumulate in the body as long as the exposure persists The gas is heavier than air and unless the windows are close to the floor window ventilation will not aid elimination of the gas near the floor.
 The gas has been believed fol years to be relatively harmless. Il has no odor and is not likely to be detected unless chemical tests arc used to discover it's presence. Since the matter has been called to gen. | eral attention, arrangements are being made to mix irritating ant odorous gases with methyl chloride in order that a leak may be de, tected promptly.
 In the meantime early treatmen of methyl chloride poisoning con sists in the use of inhala tions O oxygen and five per cent carbo1 diOXide in order 10 overcome tho effects of the gas. Bicarbonate O soda is given to overcome the aci dosis that is produced and tn, symptoms are treated according tc their nature. After asphyXiation weak heart stimulants are used The diet is soft and the patien must be kept absolutely quiet unti the condition improves.

who believe that children should yield to authority is that they will abuse their power, using command where only fellowship and sympathy will win the right response. For such people the world is full of naughty children. Perhaps the saf- est rule is to bring up your child with love when you can, and with authority when you must.

 Southampton, too, is very gay these days, and very colorful.s At the musicale given recently at the Meadow Club, l saw most lovely and graceful costumes.
 Strolling on the beach early one morning, l saw Mrs. Kenneth O'Brien, looking very smart in white linen suit with cardigan jacket and a pleated skirt With her was Mrs. Charles E. Mitchell, wearing a frock with a most inter- esting collar line, a sort of cowl effect in front that was formed by a fold of silk. It gave a long and graceful line to her V neckline and was quite out of the usual rou- tine of scarfs or turnover collars.
 Chic Sleeveless Frock
 l saw Mrs. William Fleitman in a sleeveless frock of white silk pique. fastened with a bow knot pin at the neckline, and worn with a jaunty white felt hat and pumps with red bows. Mrs. Cort- landt Nicoll looked very lovely in a charming silk ensemble with sleeveless blouse, cardigan jacket, and a skirt with inserts of deli cate French pleating. A buckle of silk finished the low belt, and there was an intricate French mon- ogram at the low cut V neckline.
 A tennis frock that caught my eye was worn by Mrs. Charles Van Rensselaer, the other morn ing at the Meadow Club. It laced with lacings and had deep in- verted pleats. With it she was wearing a smart surban in two shades of blue. She was playing with Mrs. George Fuller, who had on d white sport dress with box pleated skirt and after playing, she donned white wool, three quarter | lenSt h coat,

IT'S LAST RESORT OF
 1.a>...-xs~:s.- WANING SUMMER STYLES
DN BETSY SCHUYLER NEA Service Writer

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Sept > Just as flowers are loveliest just be- fore they fade so do the lovely summer gowns reach the zenith of their achievement just before the summer wanes.
 Organdios, ginghams, pastel col ored crepes, and flattering straw hats have only a few more days in the sun. Then come the somberer colors of fall, the deaper leaf tones, and the autumn interpretation of the mode.
 Who knows but this may be the last summer of the short skirt and the comfortable wastline? Who knows how our silhouettes may have changed by next yer? At the rate we are going anything might be possible. Or women might even yet stampede and rebel against the passing of the Age of Comfort.
 A Floral Crown
 A second visit 10 Saratoga re- vcaled new sartorial delights. l quite adored the hat worn by Mar ion Wilson, a very neat fitting and very diminutive model, with wreath of flowers of different col ors guilelossly arranged about the crown. After the very severe cha peauX, it was most feminine and dis armlng. 1 was so entranCod by tho millinery that l quite neglected to notice what sort of a frock she was wearing. Probably it was a print, but l cant be sure.
 When tan linen is made smartly, it has marvellous style, hasn't it? l wondered why more women did not realize it's possibilities when I saw how stunning Mrs. Joe Letter, of Washington. looked in hers, with it's impeccable lines and faultless tailoring. Then l seemed to remember how dowdy it could be on a dropping figure and l spent no more time lament in5 it's scarcity.
 In the Suntan Mode
 Marian Wickes knows how to play up to that marvellous tan of hers. She was positively stunning in gingham suit with large checks of yellow and white, and cuffs and pocket of white organdie. The blouse was a tuck-in, and l think it was sleeveless.
 Quantities of lace are seen here, and the favoritc color seems to be beige. It is apparently quite the most approved material for formal afternoon wear. For evening l have noticed that green is featured more prominently than ever bctore-and tulle, too, | particularly black tulle. l was enchanted by the picture made by Edna Marbe, in an organdie gown over taffeta--black tatteta-with a sash of black molre tied in bow in the back, Let femininity return, 1 said to myself, if we can have more frocks | like this

Don't entertain your employer on

They don't interest her.
Don't talk too much or enter com

spoken to.
Don't feel your employer can't get
along without you, even though she
says so. There's usually someone as
good or better than you to take your
place.
Don't think only of your own con-
venience.
Don't. cover up unclean bodies with
delicate perfume. Usually the COM

Don't stop work to attend every
funeral of friend or fraternal mem

Don't be non-dependable. Report
to work on time. If you plan to stop
work, properly notify your employer.
Remember you can make job
better or worse not only for your
