YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. NORRIS FISHBE.lN
Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association and of Fly
 gcia, the Health Magazine

Some months ago investigators in the University Of Iowa reported that they had been able 10 stop the de lolopment of decay in the teeth Of dmbetic children who had been re- cciving carefully controlled diets to control their diabetes Repeated OK aninations on many other diabetiC children confirmed the original ob- sorvations,
 In order to find out what factors were in the diet that were Of i'm porIance in preventing decay. the studies were extended to children who did not have diabetes but who did have dccaying teeth. It was found that the prescribing Of a suitable diet aided in preventing the decay in every instance.
 When these children went home and began 10 cat whatever they pleased without relationship 10 the substances that had been given to them in the hospital. the teeth be- pa0 to decay again. The Iowa au- ihorlties then decided 10 find out whether they conld prevent decay of teeth in children who wer" he- ing fed at homo. provided these children were given all the select

kinds of difficulty in reading and spelling, and certain speech defects are thus caused
 Whether or not further investiga. ton will prove that these troubles sometimes do originate through the attempt 10 change handedness it. seems wise, in view of the proba- bility of bad effects, 10 let the lcrt- handed child use his hands as he rleases.
 There is, Of course, a certain amount Of social pressure brought to bear upon the Ieft-handcd child. He is considered awkward and clumsy. and in consequence. often is made to feel inferior before his fel- lows.
 The comments of those outside the home, however, will not affect his seriously if his own family does mot make his left handedncss the subject Of comment. In any case such social pressure as is brought to bear upon him is probably less of a strain than forcing him to change his handodness
 Perhaps the best way 10 treat the left handed child is to help him ac- copt it as natural thing and make sure that school teachers cooperate in permitting him to use his left hand freely.

But is it not possible 10 get in touch with this person and ask for your release from this promise""
 'T already have dacflcd 10 do that" l answered. But I must send telegram asking permission to tell you-8nd only you--about it."
 ''Why not telerhone%" my father asked. "It would he quicker"
 "Bccause," I said slowly. trying to keep any bctYaying reference out Of my answer. "A telephone message discussing if would seriously cmbar- rass the person.

Velvet Leads The Style Parade

Paris, Nov. S-Among the fabrics set aside for winter wear, velvet is unquestionably the most important. | It's value is appreciated by all dress creators and you will find velvet the leading fabric in any important col | lection.
 It is perhaps not generally known i that velvet is the fabric with whicn manufacturers and creators alil;a a will experiment when something new is required. When a new vel 1 vet material is put on the mark et therefore, it represents the solving of tremendous technical difficulties in order to. produce a material Of the requisite weight, sufficiently supple and yet lending a different effect. The result is invariably sat isfactory.
 All Nelvets Popular I think it interesting to note that every kind of velvet-hoth the old and modern process of manufac- ture-are present in a representa- tive collection nowadays. The in finite variety of actual fashions aC- counts for this. where differences in cut and style call for different textures. There are some coats Of complicated cut and greater fitness that obviously have to be made Of the most supple of velvets. and others. almost severe in style, that cannot be executed in anything but the short pile velvet
 Short pile velvets will never go out of fashion now and l feel some satisfaction at this, as l was the first couturier to ask manufacturers to take mp the old velvet looms. The popularity Of artificial velvet. on the other hand. has somewhat Waned this season after a consid. erable measure of success This was premedtated. as it was feared that women would tire of even the most beautiful fantasies that offered Tn this fabric and it was deemed wiser to abandon them for a season rather than run the risk of bore dom, for one regret this anl will be very glad 10 utilize these sumptuous fabrics as soon as the Opportunity offers.
 velvet Accessories, Too
 With the advent Of the formal velvet ensemble or afternoon suit came that of the accessory. also of velvet, to complete the dress. black velvet tailleur, for example, is nearly always completed by huff of the same material. trim med with the same fur that is worn with it. formal velvet evening gown is often shown with a matching velvet bag. of essential ly modern design, however. Until recently, velvet bags somehow con trived to look old fashioned.
 Where millinery is concerned. velvet is undoubtedly the favored medium this season for dressy hats. If is a fabric that combines well with felt and ribbon too. and even in unusual colorings velvet will always be becoming, as frame for every type of face.

New York. Nov. S - Thoughts while strolling: Whats become Of collectors of birds eggs? Slick Broadway boys who try to look like yokels. Walter Chrysler admiring the sIyscraper named for him on 42d street. Who remembers when plasterers went to work in street cars?
 Luncheon crowds oozing out of sleyscrapers like human lava. Fran cis Hackett, Kilkenny, Ireland, boy who made good in the city. Defeat essen sign: "Take home a complete dinner-soup to nuts" The 3Sth street bootblack who wears a heavy black eyeglass ribbon.
 The fooIhardy who stand on high building lodges to watch parades. Another "French cafe' tries out sidewalk tables. B-r-r-r! Theatrical boarding houses curtained and sul- len all day.

 That constant tremble on Park avenue from trains laundering into Grand Central. Nothing makes you feel so middle class as one of those buffers who wears a white sateen coat. The s150 tea rooms near eX- elusive hotels. Those clubmen who always open their newspapers at the financial page.
 Debutantes with snubby noses. generous mouths and freckles. And fearful they will not be noticed. Gigolos who wear platonum chains catercornercd across their vests. Fannie Hurst and her husband stroling arm in arm. The dew is still on the rose Noel Coward s pink muffler.
