KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JAsTRow.

This slogan. devised by q publisher
to arouse interest In q book that Is
pertinent enough to the query, is q
most clever advertising phrase, a gen.
uine inspiration. It is likely to become
don1esticated in our vocabulary. / am
adopting 1t as q better title for another
book which is attracting attention.
called Understanding Women" It's
author is . Danish scholar. DR.. Wieth-
Knudson. who takes his problem seri-
ously. His interest began 20 years ago,
when q fellow student In German
university, o Japanese, familiar with
European ways, admitted that there was
one thing about them that he couldn't
understand, and that was why European
men regard their women with such an
exalted respect This alteration of
woman puzzled his Oriental mind as
did nothing else in European life. Had
he made his observations in this coun-
try his amaZement would have in
creased, for Americans In this respect
60 (most) Europeans one better, or,
according to the Danish writer, one
worse.
For DR.. Wieth- -Knudson Is convinced
that this attitude toward women, far
from being q mere amiable weakness,
Is O formidable menace. I shall let him
now at the eleventh hour does not
recognize the true nature and extent
Of the danger and oppose 1t In a sweep
ing reaction against all this farrago OF
feminism, pernicious alike to man,
woman and child, fatal to culture as
no other movement curse and a
poison to all that has been built up
in the sweat and blood Of our race for
the security Of mankind's frail life upon
earth, well, then. the white man has
seen his best days"
How did the white man of the West
get this way? BY overtrusting women's
good qualities, by his generous leniency
toward her weakness. This writer Is
convinced that women are not worth 1t.
The point would make an interesting
public debate and attract huge audi
ences; for who isn't interested and who
isn't prejudiced one way or the other?
The bigger question is this: Granted
that men and women are comprehen-
sively different, and granted that we
must see these differences as they are,
how shall we arrange the world SO as
to provide the best opportunities in 1t
for the highest development Of men as
men and women as women, and for
both as human beings?
The attitude and relations Of men to
women can never be the same as that
of women to men. So the particular
question remains whether the worship
ing attitude of men toward women is
a help or q hindrance. In much i'm

men, the presence of women Is disturb

Everyday Law Cases
Is Seal Essential to Corporate
Contract? What Are Essentials?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

The Production Corporation entered
I1to contract to supply wholesale
house with its entire seasons plumb
ing supply stock and the wholesale
house agreed to purchase such sup
plies.
The market dropped and the whole
sale house, finding itself bound by q
losing contract, sought to escape the
obligations under the agreement. They
refused to accept shipments Of supplies
and suit was instituted against them
by the corporation.
At the trial the wholesale house con-
tended that the contract was invalid.
as there was no corporation seal
affixed to the contract. The absence
Of seal, they claimed, showed that
the contract was made without au-
thority and was, therefore, not bind
ing on the corporation. Not being
binding on the corporation, it could
not, therefore, be binding upon them.
The court, however, held the con-
tract valid, stating:
"A corporation may contract with
out the use Of its corporate seal to
the extent that an individual may
contract without seal.
-Four tests may be applied to de-
termine the validity Of corporate con-
tracts. Cd Was the corporation au-
thorized to enter into the contract?
90 Was ID made on behalf of the
corporation by an authorized corporate
agent or officer? (3) Were the proper
signatures affixed? a. is the contract
generally legal?"

Worried-It would be best for you
to have an X-ray made Of your teeth.
You will then know exactly just what
causes this bleeding of the gums. Den
fists now ward of pyorrhea even
though gums are soft, as they clean
under the edges Of the gums and then
use an astringent treatment to harden
them. They also instruct you on how
to strengthen the gums again by eating
foods that give the gums exercise.
Reader-Any of the honey almond
lotions are good for the hands and
keep the skin soft and white. For the
brown spots, try applications of damp
ened baking soda. Rub piece of cut
cucumber into the spots also to help
bleach these off-just by way of vary

that gets to be an inconvenience at

ing. to put it mildly. 1t takes a wise
man to direct his work life and his love
life that each will enhance the value
Of the other. The part women play
In mans life is a most variable one.
Normally, it is large and compelling,
and for the reason often variously dis
turbing. Are women worth it?" re-
mains a pertinent question.
The clarifying Of women supplies a
much-needed correction of the too
mastery, too effectively absorbing
domination Of men. Even If women
object to being adored or find it a
bore, they should tolerate 1t for the
good 1t does to men. While we may
accept this sentiment and its practice
playfully, there Is back of it the serious
consideration that q critical test of any
modern civilization is the place 1t pro-
vides for the qualities of women. With
the increasing emancipation of women
1t will be easier to see them as they
are because Of a franker, freer relation
Of the sexes, but the eternal feminine
poser remains: Are women worth it?"
Many who will question it in general
will yet answer 1t favorably in Its appli-
cation to one woman.

Almost any afternoon the Senator
may be found working around his trees
at his home on Ralston street. He is
never happier than when his Senate
4duties tighten up enough for him 10
get home in time, to indulge In his
hobby before nightfall.
Clad in overalls he goes from one to
the other, searching for defects that re,
uuire attention. There's one beautiful
old maple tree that he loves especially.
His knowledge of tree surgery has pro-
longed its life Indefinitely.
But Senator Brookhart's real field is
the orchard.
Out in washington, Iowa, his home
town. he owns a small farm and apple
orchard.
He has a reputation in Iowa as being
one of the foremost apple growers in
the State. Apples from his orchard
have taken first place at the Iowa State
fair. Once he was awarded the blue
ribbon at an exhibition in Kansas City.
He planted the orchard himself and 1t
has been bearing fruit only three years.
The Senator confesseS that he misses
nothing quite so much as he does his
apple orchard. In fact, he is almost
persuaded to buy one near Washington
that he might have place where he
can spend his spare time. At the pres
ent he must content himself with the
half dozen or more trees he planted in
his back yard at Hyattsville.
Trees and tree surgery of all kinds
appeal to Senator Brookhart tremen-
dously. His associates say that as he
rides through the country he is care
ful to observe all of the orchards along
the way. He is quick to note wrong
methods and point them out.
Senator Brookhart also Is an expert
riieman.
He was an instructor in marksman-
ship In the Camp Perry and Camp Ben
ming Schools during the World War. He
also was captain of the American Palma
rife team in 1912, winning the world
championship. He has served four
terms as president of the National Rifle
Association of America.
From 1894 until the World War, with
the exception of five years, Senator
Brookhart served in the Iowa National
Guard. He is veteran of the Span
ish-American War, saw service on the
Mexican border as a major, and was a
lieutenant colonel of infantry in the
World War.

you believe this would help in reducing

No. I don't believe quinine would help

the Government is not as vigilant as 1t
might be in the matter Of the health of
Chief Executives. On the contrary. the
opposite is true. Their physical we'll
being is matter of the greatest con-
cern.
Even so small an injury as q black
eye is sufficient to cause the White
House physician to exert the greatest
care. Comdr. Joel T. Boone, personal
physician to the Hoovers, took his job
very seriously when the President re-
turned from a fishing trip with one a
few weeks ago. He used all of his skill
to return the eye to normal.
1t long has been source of pride to
the United States Navy that it has fur
nished most of the doctors to Presidents.
AS far back as President Roosevelt,
Navy doctors have been chosen the
greater part of the time for service at
the White House.

the attention of a physician constantly,
and that was woodrow Wilson. His
physician. inherited from the Roosevelt
Taft regime, pulled him through many
a close illness. Admiral Graysons name
ever will be linked with that Of Wood
row Wilson.
President Harding broke the Navy
tradition by bringing to Washington
the personal physician of Mrs. Harding.
whom he made a general in the Army.
When the Harding regime came to q
close the Coolidges kept the same ply
sician. President Coolidge remarked
dryly at the time the choice was made:
I'VE are never ILL.,"
However, when DR.. C. e. Sawyer
passed into private practice again, an
other Army physician. Maj. James F.
Coupal. took his place His duties were
light, however, for, true to President
Coolidge's prediction. he and Mrs Cool
idge were never very Ill.
When President Hoover came into
Office he sent Mai. Coupal back to the
Army and called on the Navy. Comdr
Boone got the post.
The White House is not the only
branch of Government that is welded
to Navy physicians. The House of
Representatives has one always at hand,
and members Of the House make liberal

One of the newest umbrella fashions
of American origin is the crooked-han-
die umbrella covered with lightweight,
waterproof covert cloth. Another nov
city consists of an umbrella handle the
top of which has patent coin holder
large enough to hold number of small
coins which may be released one at a

Dual-purpose umbrellas that may be
used either for rain or for sun appeal to
the woman who likes to be prepared for
any sort of weather. These umbrellas
must be substantial enough to stand

to look appropriate when skies are blue
and the sun shines bright. There are

There is perhaps no skin blemish that

more serious skin disorders. but none, I
think, so widespread.
Seven different forms Of acne are
recognized by the well trained cos

called acne yulgaris and is a composite
eruption Of two or more LESSONS. Fre-
quently young people who have had
clear skins during childhood begin hav-
ing blackheads in the early teens
There are only o few at first. but, If
special pains are not taken to keep the
skin scrupulously clean. more blemishes
appear, and then they become infected:
the result Is q group Of unsightly

Acne Is defined as q chronic infiam-
nation of the sebaceous (oiD glands.
Local treatments alone cannot be de-
pended upon to cure 1t; it is necessary
in addition, to watch ones diet build
up ones health, exercise regularly and
avoid constipation. The choice Of ones
food plays large part in the develop
ment of acne, especially If the diet con-
tains an excess of meats, sweets, fried
food and rich pastries. Daily bathing
Is also important.
AS. general rule. local treatments
for acne should vary. stimulating
treatment may be given first to pro-
mote the activity Of the oil glands
that have become clogged with their
oil secretions. The next day a sooth-
ing treatment is In order, since If
vigorous treatments are given daily the
skin may become too sore. Antiseptics
should be used regularly. Of course,
especially after the removal of black
heads or pimples
Before the blemishes are pressed out.
the skin should be bathed In a mild
antiseptic, such as boric acid solution.

Details.

0Ctd1A0s
More than half the time the pretty
woman is only the one who has taken
q great deal of pains to make herself
look well. Features and coloring do
not count heavily against such things
as-a perfect complexion, well kept
hands and. beautifully tended nails,
nicely arranged hair, a good figure,
which is carried well, neat clothes, and
well planned details of costume. These
are all things that any woman can have,
rich, poor busy, or with all the day
to look after herself. How much do
you think perfect features would count,
II the hair was badly cut and carelessly
brushed. the nails dirty, the clothes
chosen with poor taste and put on IN
haphazard fashion? Would the most
attractive legs look well If the stocking
seams went crookedly up the back?
I'd advise you to try out six new
styles of having your hair done, for
you may find the perfect method If
not. try six more new ways and keep on
until you do. Search every shop in
town for the perfect dress for yourself;
like, and don't buy it because your
chum has q similar one. If your figure
is bad, the new light corsets will sup
press its worst faults. while you diet
or exercise to make the improvement
permanent. Select about four colors
that 60 with each other. make them
your own, and buy all your clothes in
these colors and no others. Wear your
clothes carefully and keep them clean
and fresh looking, well pressed, well
brushed.
Details! They're so important! Brush
your hair until it shines, and cut and
comb it so it always looks we'll Don't
