A Lesson on Vitamins.

The vitanins that are accepted by all
the authorities are vitamins A, 3, c, D
and E. Alb, C and D are all necessary
so the absence or insufhciency OF them
will undermine the health.
Vitamin A Is known as the growth
and anti-ophthalmic vitamin (the latter
because its absence causes an 1nf1am-
nation of the eyes,. Especially neces-
sary for integrity of mucous membranes,
growth and resistance to infections.
Stored in the body for a short time,
so its absence is not noticed i'm
mediately The foods that are highest
in this vitamin are: Fish oils and fats,
butter, egg yolks, milk, green vegetables
and some root vegetables such as
carrots and sweet potatoes. tSeems to
be connected with the coloring matter
Of plants)
Vitamin B is known as the anti
neuritic vitamin, for its absence finally
results in an inflammation of the
nerves. Necessary for the integrity of
the intestinal tract. and thus the appe-
tite, and Tor growth. Is not stored in
the body, so when not taken there is
fairly rapid evidence of its absence. Re-
search Is showing Vitamin B may con-
sist of two or even more VitamlnS, one
which prevents neuritiS and another
which prevents pellagra; JnlS latler is
called the PIP factor (pellagra -preven-
tive). Some authorities call 1t Wit F..
Foods highest in vitamin B are toma-
toes (raw, canned or dried, spinach,
cabbage, beans, yeast and vest extracts.
Vitamin G Is known as the anti
scurvy vitamin, for its absence leads to
scurvy. Not stored in the body for
long, so its absence quickly leads to
scurvy, which is manifested by hem
orrhages in the mucous membranes and
skin, loosening Of the teeth, and de-
fects of the deposits of lime in the
bones. Foods high in vitamin c are
fresh fruits, especially lemons and
oranges, tomatoes raw, canned or
dried), raw cabbage and lettuce.
Vitamin D is known as the anti
rachitic Vtamin because 1t has to do
with calcium Qime) utilization and its
absence produces ricketS in babies and
children, and porosity and fragility of
the bones and teeth Of adults. You re-
member I said vitamin G also had to
do with calcium deposition in the bones
and its absence caused loosening of the
teeth? Now perhaps it Is the absence
or tnsufficiency of vitamins G and D
that may be factors in the cause of
pyorrhea, or at least a lowering of the
resistance so it can occur.
d might also be called the sunshine
vitamin, for it differs from the other
vitanins IN that it needn't be taken in
with the food If the skin has an ade-

So you cannot 60 very far wrong
when you choose to wear your blouse
collar over your jacket collar or under
it, and whichever arrangement you
choose you can certainly find no OBJ
lection to permitting the jabot dra-
perry of your blouse to relieve the Sc
verify of the jacket ensemble at the
front.
Lingerie touches in some of the new
frocks consist of something soft and
frilly and very feminine. Embroid-
cred mousseline and chiffon are made
into softly draped collars with jabot
drapery, and fine lace is often added
to fine mousseline Sometimes the
effect is rather one of criSpness, as
when organdie is used, and for dresses
Of the more tailored sort linen or fine
corded silk Is sometimes used in the
form of a Peter-Pan collar and trim
turn-back cuffs.
The new aprons reflect the fashion,
able flare, and for the benefit OF the
many readers who have asked for a
simple apron pattern we have ready
for this weeks circular a diagram pat
tern for a new fared apron. II you
would like a copy, please send me a

why do we get jealous of the person
we are in love WITH" This question
was recently asked by one of the read
ers Of this column.
No doubt many people are puzzled
about their feelings toward those they
love. 1t would seem that II you loved
any one enough you would trust him
and not be jealous, for jealousy inl-
plies doubt and distrust
The strangest thing about it is that
the more intensely you love the more
strongly Jealous you are likely to be.
In a certain sense, the jealous per-
son is not so much In love with another
person as he Is in love with himself.
This is another way of saying that the
more selfish a person is the more in
sanely jealous he is likely to be.
Every jealous person is motivated
by fear-the fear of losing something.
And the value that he places upon this
object determines the degree OF Jealousy
that he feels.
This will explain why jealousy is,
on the one hand, an indication of deep
love and. on the other hand, OF no
true love at all but merely self love.
The true lover is supposed to be inter-
ested primarily in the happiness of the
person he loves and should therefore
be satisfied so long as that person is
happy. regardless of whether he wins
or loses personally. But as matter
of fact the lover wants the love of the
beloved and is unhappy unless his love
is returned. He Is also made unhappy
if some one else gets the love which
he thinks belongs to him.
Moreover, this type of loss Is more
bitterly resented because it is so per-
sonal. To lose out in love affair is
blow at ones personality. 1t is taken
as a personal affront and ones good
opinion of ones self suffers accordingly.
Jealousy is the name we give that
emotional reaction that a person ex-

Unsymmetrioal Legs.

Dear Miss Leeds: % My left leg is
larger than my right. Could you sug-
gest some exercise TO reduce it? 90 I
am 16 years old, feet 61a inches tall
and weigh 140 pounds. Is this right?
(3) My face sometimes appears rather
yellow. I eat at least one green vege-
table a day and am rarely eonstipated.
My hair is blond, beginning to darken,
and my eyes are a very dark brown.
What colors would suit me? (4) Would
you recommend bleach for my skin?
IMPATIENT.
Answer-1) it is not unusual for one
leg to develop faster than its mate.
When you have grown up think both
legs will measure the same, or nearly
So I would not worry about it if I were
you. The types OF exercise that will
reduce excess fat on the calves include
heel raising, heel and toe movements
as in clog dancing, bending and stretch
ing the foot at the ankle, rotating it,
stair climbing, skipping, heel raising
with knee bending. The same move
ments are used to develop muscle in the
calves, but when done often enough they
also tend to reduce excess fat.
(2) You are a little above the average
weight for your age and height, but
this is no doubt due to your having
heavier bones and muscles than the av-
erage. Your weight is probably correct
for your type.

to cause sweating. Walk four or five
miles a day outdoors. Eat some raw
vegetables daily. as lettuce, celery, to-
matoes. grated carrots. Besides this,
eat fruit and two kinds Of cooked non
starchy vegetables, in addition to your
regular diet of bread, starchy vegetables
and proteins. You should have a thor

There are freeks enough in real life

But G, pop, they got lady with 3

parliamentary inquiry
The cry was heard repeatedly from
the Democratic side.
These we're busy moments for the
young man stationed at the elbow of
Speaker Longworth. For upon the
shoulders of Lewis Deschler. parlia-
mentarian of the House, rested the re-
sponsibility Of putting the correct words
into the mouth of the Speaker in
answer to these parliamentary inquiries.
Deschler must be on his toes con-
stAntly ut such times. Each inquiry
must be met with a ruling from the
Chair. and quickly. And the ruling
must be correct.
The young parliamentarian is a
model of efficiency on occasions like
this. He moves up within few inches
OF the Speakers stand, where even a
whispered explanation may be heard
by the Chair with ease. Almost before
the questioner has stated his inquiry
DeSchler starts with his answer And
he stays by the Speakers side until the
storm is over and peace reigns again.
One finds 1t difficult to understand
how such q young man can hold so i'm
portant position. Deschler Is not
past 80.
Speaker Longworth appointed him
House parliamentarian January /, 1928.
He succeeded Lehr Fess. the son of the
United States Senator from Ohio. He
had been Fess' assistant.
Deschler has not been an expert in
parliamentary law many years. 1t was
not so long ago that he was employed
as timekeeper in the House of Repre-
sentativeS.
But the subject interested him even
then, and he started to read up on 1t.
Then FesS decided to resign. Long
worth suggested to Deschler that he
learn all the parliamentary law ne
could and he would give him a try at
Fess' place.
The Speakers choice proved to be a
good one. Deschler Is admitted to be
one OF the best parliamentarians the
House ever has had.
When he is not on the floor of the
House Deschler may be found in the
Speakers rooms just across the hall.
His desk is in a corner, and is piled up
with all sorts OF books on rules and
parliamentary law.
Deschler says his work is hard, but
he can think Of. He must read con-
stantly to keep posted on questions to
arise In the House.
Not far away are the chambers of
the Supreme Court, where he must go
frequently to look up decisions affecting
ONE parliamentary question.
Frequently he works all night cn a
problem. The Speaker must be l<ady

at all times, and Deschler must see
that the Speaker is ready.
A copy Of an old maritime map of
the waters around Rhode Island hangs
from the wall directly back Of Senator
Jesse H. Metcalfs desk in the Senate
once Building.
In the right-hand corner OF the map
is the picture of a trim little yacht
heading straight for Block Island. The
prov is cutting neat path in the sea
"a thin spray is being kicked up as
the craft speeds merrily on.
The Felicia is heading back home
after delightful and lazy cruise into
less freQuented waters.
Down on the Potomac the Felicia
rides easily at its moorings. Senator
Metcalf recently ordered his yacht
brought to Washington that he and
Mrs. Metcalf might take up their resi-
dence aboard.
1t Is an annual event. About this
time every year the two quit their
apartment and move to the Felicia. For
the best part of the Summer months
they make their home on the comfort
Their friends are entertained here.
Five or six people in addition to men,
bers of the crew are easily cared for.
On hot nights the Felicia lifts anchor
and slips down the Potomac to a spot
far removed from the city. Here, safe
from the heat and mosquitoes, the Met
calls spend the night, returning in the
morning in time for the Senator TO get
back to his duties on Capitol Hill.
For more than 80 years Senator Met
calf has turned to the sea for recrea-
ton. During this time he has owned
boats OF all descriptions. Before he
acquired the Felicia. shortly after the
war, he found his pleasure on a steam
yacht. The Government, however dur
ing the war, needed craft Of this type
and the Senator surrendered it at a
price named by the United States.
The Felicia is 122 feet long and draws
from 5 to 6 feet Of water. 1t Is
capable Of making II knots an hour
Two 225-horsepower engines drive the
trim little yacht.
Speed holds no fascination for Sena-
tor Metcalf. He regards the Felicia
simply as q pleasure craft. He never
has raced against another boat, and
has no intentions of doing so. There
Is silver cup aboard, but II was pre-
sented the Senator in appreciation of
his boat towing a disabled steam yacht
