 Folding tables and chairs in gaudy color can be purchased at small cost, too. If you feel that the family budget can cover a striped parasol for the lawn, so much the better. The children can play in it's shade in the day time, when the family is not hav- ing a meal under it. Cushions of waterproofed fabrics can be made at little cost and add greatly to the gala appearance of the out doors meal.
 Just little gaudy equipment is likely to spur the homemaker to outdo herself in planning tasty n calls that catch the eye as well as please the palate. Green and white meals are most acceptab ble. A green salad of watercress cu- cumber fresh cottage cheese or one of romaine and alligator pear | is quite perfect with slices of cold chicken. hot tea or coffee and either sandwiches or hot bread as she who pre- pares. supper may de- sire.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy-

geia, the Health Magazine
 There was time when the skin was thought merely to be covering of the human body. Today it is look ed upon just as much an organ as any of the internal organs and par. ticularly important because it re- fleets on the surface of the body disturbances that may be going on inside.
 Recently in convention of all of the specialists in diseases or children of Germany whole morn ing was devoted to consideration of present views of the common eruption on the skin of babies that is known as eczema.
 Once upon time practically all eruptions on the surface of the body were called eczema. Now it is recognized that irritations of the skin may be due to factors acting on the skin directly from without. such as the wind, the sun, irritant soaps and chemicals of one type or another. and that this type of in flammation of the skin is entirsly different from the type of inflam- nation that is due to factors com- ing to the skin by way of the blood.
 Has Many Causes
 It is believed that many of the cases of eczema are due to some special sensitivity of the body to various food substances or to bac- teria and that the constitution of the child fife hnraditu md similar factors may be important in the onset of the eruption.
 There is one type of child which is overfat and which is likely tc break out with eczema. The condi- tion is called exudative diathesis because of the tendency of the pouring out of fluid on the surface of the body and in the interna organs. These children are espe- cially likely to have eczema. The eating of large amounts of fat and sugar make the condition worse. It is, of course, quite possible that skin which is exceedingly sensitive to irritants of any kim will react with eczema to sma' dose of external irritant, wherea a skin that is not so sensitive vii be able to overcome the irritating dose.
 Ofntments Won't Do The symptoms of eczema vary Sometimes there is itching; some times the formation of blisters. anf

 A small table may be arranged with colorful, inexpensive dishes that carry the mind away as one looks at their old-country peasant decorations, the flowers or birds of America or new plaid or other modernistic designs. Glass lunch con or supper sets in the most cooling greens or other pleasing pastel colors come under five dol lars. Picnic knives, forks and spoons now can be had with color ed handles that liven the scene.
 Colored linens or crepe sets for the table are very inexpensive.

looked at her with incredulity. He hesitated on the threshold of the door and looked back. But no one noticed him. Mother was telling dad about the damage the cut worms were doing in the garden. She seemed to have forgotten all about him.
 At breakfast Ben ate heartily. No one commented on his third help ing of cereal. His arresting deed of the evening before had apparently caused not a ripple and left not g trace in the mind of anyone.
 Children often refuse to eat be- cause they enjoy the stir which their refusal creates. One has but to question and urge, or even threaten and punish, to be sure of perpetual ing what probably is merely a pass ing notion and to fix it as an habi- tual response, called forth in the child when things are not altogether to his liking.
 As soon as the child learns that he can get a rise out of his elders by this simple device he finds plenty Of occasions when it's use will give him satisfaction.
 If it is attention he craves, he here discovers an easy way to get 1t. If he wishes to get even for some frcs- trations he has suffered, he finds ready weapon with which to make his elders dance to his tune. Don't let him get away with 1t. If your child refuses to eat, make sure he is not sick, and then, with entire nonchalance, excuse him from the table.

Harry's Evident Excitement, After
 Reading the "Arrow-Head' Note.
 Has Madge and Lillian "All Het
 Up"
 The arrow which had whizzed be- tween Princess Olina and me while we were upon the hotel roof was Yraught with much significance to Harry Underwood. This we conJec- tured when he came from his loom a minute or two after had handed the thing over to him and hurried out of the door. But he found time to say a word of commendation in passing which much gratified me.
 Glad you kept your wits about you, Lady Fair. Your giving those surroundings the quick once over sure narrowed down the possibilities 1 have to go over, Good work"
 Lillian knew little more than I. She called me into her room after Harry had gone and pushed chair toward me with a wry smile.
 "Give me the data on the arrow
 
 Harry so het up since the rat ate the malt. He said you'd tell me about it, and he didn't take time to spill a single bean-just opened the piece of twisted paper under the head of the thing, read it and bolted.'
 Did he tell you that no one was to go to the roof until he found out where the arrow came from" l asked
 No. That means he thinks there's trouble somewhere
 Tt also means" l said, rising, ''that l must see that everybody here has that message at once."
 By everybody I suppose you mean the International quartet" Lillian said, flor Dlcky and Phil arc at their offices"
 And I have no doubt Olina has told the others, for she heard Harry give me the prohibition, but l must make sure"
 "An right. Casabianca.' she grinned. But come back here, pronto,'
 T shan't be gone minute,' I promised, and kept my word when I found Olina relating the story and MT. Underwood's prohibition to a rapt audience of three-Mary, Noel and Georges. Lillian appearej equally interested when I returned and told her of the incident. It was en interest which deepened into concern, however, when she real ized from my account that the ar row must have come from some where on the roof of the hotel.
 That. narrows down the search, of course" she said, but it sure spells trouble. Harry thought he had everything bottled up, but if some of these devils have managed to get to the roof without being de- tected it's bad medicine"
 You think the paper really was message from those men," I said.
 Judging from the way Harry shot out of here it was eight or nine of 'em," she retorted. But why

Why haven't I ever seen you over kere in the Green Forest before this?" asked Peter Rabbit of Log cock the Pileated Woodpecker.
 Probably because I've only been here for very brief visits in the past" replied Logcock. I've been living over on the Great Mountain" Tt is very nice over here ill the Green Forest" said Peter.

 That settles it." said Logcock That settles it. I don't care for places like that. l don't care to be outside the Green Forest. I am quite contented to leave the Old Orchard to my smaller cousins, Hello. l think l hear a familiar voice."
 Peter listened. Before he had made quite certain that he. heard anything unsual, Logcock up above him opened his mouth and sent ou, call that was familiar, yet not ia. miliar. It was something like thv call of Goldenwing the Flicker. but was louder, clearer and sharper As he finished it, Logcock turned his head to one side that he might lis. ten better Almost at once he got a reply. Peter heard it this time.
 "She is coming" said Logcoc., locking down at Peter.
 Who is coming?" demanded Pc. ter.

 Peter began to get a little excit ed. Presently, he caught sight of { black form above the treetops.

Suppers on Porch

If porch suppers are served, little electrical equipment may solve many difficulties. A hot creamed dish, with cold drinks, may be much easier than an en- tirely cold supper with hot drinks Waffles made at table are almost enough in themselves for supper Or bacon or ham grilled at the table stimulate the appetite trc- mendously. ..,.
 Perhaps it requires more care. Perhaps it IS 8 little added ex- pense. But this eating out-ot- doors can be a tremendously health-giving contribution Mother can make.

sometimes dry crusts. Each of these conditions must be treated according 10 the way in which It appears in the individual who Is concerned. For this reason it is hopeless to rely in cases of true eczema on any of. the widely sold ointments, soaps or lotions which are made up ln exactly the same way and which are sold merely as cures for skin diseases of all kinds.
 If the person is lucky, the prep aration may hit the disease suc- cessfully; if he is unlucky, he may make the condition worse. It is far cheaper and more satisfactory in the long run to find out exactly what is wrong and to strike at the disease through it's cause.

 Property Owners

The restriction that dry cleaning establishments may be located only in industrial districts cannot be con- Sidrr"d 10 bc free from legal attack until it is incorporated in the zoning regulations. Building Inspector Arthur x. Rutherford was informed today.
 With this opinion furnished by the corporation counsel in his files, h. spector Rutherford today declared this provision In the new ordinance cannot be invoked in the case of the much disputed Lincoln Dry Clean ing co. and that the question of whether this company was in bus- ness when the ordinance was passed is no longer of interest to the build ing department. In other words, the company may. by conforming with other provisions of the act, continue in business despite location in a business district.
