"sPat, are you doing anything this
afternoon" said Virginia over the
Telephone.
"Not thing. Can do anything
for you9"
t'Indeed you can. Will you come
with me to look at luggage. Mine
is SO old that ! want to get some
new things for the wedding trip even
though they do say you can always
tell bride by the newness Of her
luggage. -
"I'd love to 60 with you and I'll
meet you at Smith s this afternoon.
That afternoon, upon entering the
store and informing the clerk that
| they wanted to see the new varieties
of luggage, they were taken first to
the trunk department, where a vast
array of trunks in all sizes and eolors
was on display.
The clerk told them that practical
ly nothing was sold these days except
wardrobe trunks and spent some time
in showing them the various models,
advising them to be sure to select a
well built, durable article, conven'
lently arranged. Several models
were designed to catch the eye OF
the purchaser, but were not AZ
strongly built as other less preten-
tious trunks. Of course, the luxury
of the finisliings increased in pro-
portion to the price, but a sturdy
well built one could be purchased
quite reasonably.
After looking at the wardrobe
trunks he showed them wardrobe
suitcases built for automobile travel
"Since the majority of people
travel by motor, We are selling more
of these cases than any other. They
are built like a small wardrobe
trunk, having hangers, compart
ments for various flat pieces, shoe
boxes, and even a place for small
hats He showed them one very
attractive suitcase, which had &
washable fabrikoid lining thus per

display. Fittings ranged from pyra-

planned long motor trip, to have
covers made for her luggage since
they give both a neat appearance

the purchaser s desires and purse.

'FOLLIES' COME
FOR ENJOYMENT
OF Ell CENTRANS

Thousands, perhaps hundreds of
thousands of folks living west of
Chicago have never seen the "Fol-
lies,' acme of theatrical productions
for the past 90 years. In this time
the ''Follies' have achieved an en-
viable reputation as being the best
in musical comedy circles and those
who have ever witnessed them al
ways rank them as the high spot in
theatrical achievement.
BY means of the talking pictures
the same brand of show as the
"Follies' is now available to the
entire country. Tonight "Fox
Movietone Follies of 1920 the first
of an annual performance, comes to
the Airdome with galaxy of beau
tiful girls, clever dancers, topnotch
comedians, excellent singers and all
the glamor and glitter of Hollywood
and New York combined.
Trailers showing a few glimpses
of the "Follies during the past few
nights have given Airdome patrons
an idea as to what they may expect,
but the glimpses fall far short of
the solid two hours entertainment in
store for them.
There is no plot, no thrills, no
mystery about the "Follies. y The
production is just good fun and good
entertainment from start to finish.
Included among the leading charac-
tiers arc Sue Carol, Sharon Linn,
John Breeder, Jeneatte Dancey,
Frank Lamont, Arthur Stone, Mario
Dominica, and flock of stage and
screen stars.
In a paragraph by himself is
Stepin Fetchit, the best colored
comedian since Bert Williams. He
will be remembered as the lazy
negro in "Hearts in Dixie" and he
is lazy as ever in the "Follies.
Seven real song hits by the mas
ters of modern melody are sung by
principals and chorus. The Fol
liesn just can't be missed.

because it was pleasant, he learns to put his hand into his mouth whenever he wants to.
 Soon, too. the baby begins 10 seek contact with the surfaces of his covcrlots, his clothing, the sides O. his crib. He enjoys the different textures, the hardness or the soft ness and repeats the experiences again and again.
 At this stage he should be given toys to manipulate. He will learn to grasp them, to reach for them when he loses them, to explore them not only with his hands, but with his mouth and tongue.
 When we realize that the baby has everything 10 learn, and that t is chiefly through the sense of touch that he begins 10 know any thing. we will be sure to give his little hands every possible freedom and opportunity. It is only after the baby has had iunumcrablc cN- pcrionrcs with his hands that we may begin to sec the growth and functioniuG of what We call his mind.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine
 At the time Of the last great epidemic of influenza there Was much dispute among sanitary au- thorities as 10 whether or not tn" schools should be closed as means Of preventing the spread Of disease,
 Nowadays it is realized that it is advisable to keep the school open because in this way it is possible to keep a check on the movements Of the children to find out which ones are sick and which are well. to institute daily examination in all classes where cases occur, 10 eX- clude all those suspected of having the disease or to be closely associ- ated with cases of the disease, and in many other ways to eXercis" positive action rather than negative.
 It has also been shown that it is unnecessary to fumigate the rooms or to destroy all of the books and papers used by tn" children since this does not seem 10 have any important effect in checking epidemic infectious dis eases.
 The actual records arc interest ing. In - schools in Pennsyl- vania which depended only on Immigration to stamp out conta- gioua diseases. there was total of 17t cases within q month be- fore and 800 within a month fol- lowing closure and fumigatiou. ! In fl schools there were attempts to check scarlet fever outbreaks by formaldehyde Immigration Of school rooms. Within a month before it's use they had 91 cases of scarlet fever and during the month following fumigation 123 cases The same type of figures arc available for cases of German measles and of ordinary measles. ! Therefore the advice should be repeated again: In times of cpl dcmiC do not close the schools and lose control of the children: much i better keep the schools open. cX- anime the children daily and care i fully record the development oG cases so as to prevent contact and | continued spread of infection.

Since drinking has been transferred from public bars to hotel rooms, the wind up of a night of revelry was for merry makers to gather up the shoes in the hall on the way out and toss them gaily from taxi windows along the street. Such fun!
 New hotel are also placing ban quct rooms on the first or mezzan- inc floors or on the top floor. Noise making and rowdiness that disturb ed guests brought about this stric- ture. There is no fool like a tipsy banquetecr in a paper hat. Night elevator operators in hotels are among the prohibition prof. teers. Merry gentlemen out for a hefty night wobble back to inns touched with an open ursed gener- osity. What in sober moments would be a 25 cent tip often be- comes a $5 bill.
 But the big cleanup among | hotel elevator men is at Christmas time. Many receive gratuities trip | ling yearly salaries. In some of l those Park avenue apartment houS- es known only by numbers the Yuletidc for the faithful lift men has brought sums of $5,000.

"I have suspected 1t since the minute he turned into the yard opposite the farmhouse where the housc has burned down.
