HEARTS THAT RESPOND

Not long ago the newspapers printed brief story about
q little boy in the middle west who is confined to his
bed by puzzling malady. and whose only fun comes
from reading postcards sent him by friends.
Shortly thereafter the little chap began be flooded
by stream of cards and letters sent in by widely
separated newspaper readers People living all the way
from Maine to California took the time to sit down and
write to the lad
Similarly, 1t isn't long since newspaper story about
little sum girl who kidnapped baby because she didn't
have any dolls to play with brought letters from num-
Der Of people, offering to buy the little girl the best doll
that could be found.
It's the easiest thing in the world to touch the heart
strings of people with story Of misfortune oneli-
ness. There Is enormous fund Of human kindness
and charity In the world waiting to be tapped It's not
hard to reach. Ask for 1t and you'll get 1t.
Why is It, them that so much loneliness and suffering
60 unreieved? Why do many people go about yearn-
ing for bit Of sympathy unexpected frendness and
forever failing to get It?
Simply because they're afraid to reach out for it.
Most Of start out in life with pretty trusting,
fiding natures We expect the best from everybody
and unfortunately get let down rather hard pretty
often The experience isn't pleasant rebuffs hurt So
adopt q sort Of protective armor Of reticence and
resolve to let the other fellow make the first overture
Well not risk hurting ourselves again.
The result Is that get reserved and cold. We make
contacts with people but we fail to make the most Of
them. We go through life in isolaton-ke starving
man who goes cropping In fog past half dozen soup
kitchens without knowing that they're there All around
reservoirs Of charity and kindness-but we don't
sc them.
The person who Is over -trusful gets his bumps of
course. There u plenty of meanness in the world to
say nothing Of blindness and carelessness # you 60
about with the assumption that everyone you meet has
intentions as good yours. you're bound to come
icrupper now and then.
But that isn't bad waling yourself up in dstrst
and fgid suspicion You miss the hurts that waybut
you also miss great deal Of casual friendly warmth.
isn't pleasant to to grief because you expect too
much Of your fellow But it's far to 60 about
in isolated loneliness because you expect too little.

Mrs. Goohoofis who is washing a
tubful of the children's winter under
wear and wondering If she'll get it on
the line in time to start peeling the
rutabagas for the supper Irish stew
will, no doubt be overcome to hear
that Dame Fashion says that her
finger nails must match her new
spring ensemble.
Blue nails for blue suits, orange
ones to .harwonize with the orange
trimmings on the new beige suit. pur-
pie nails if, perhaps, Mrs. Goohofis
has new purple hat. The fact that
If Mrs. Goohoofis gets a pair OF new
Isle stockings for spring, she'll do
we'll, makes no difference when the
style makers edict that fingernails
must match or contrast with the

NUMEROUS GOOHOOFISES
For, believe it or not, what with all
the fashion magazines and the things
you see in the stores, there are many
more Mrs. Goohoofises in this coun-
try than ladies who insist that their
fingernails match their costumes.
Sometimes one gets annoyed at this
continuous blithe assumption that all
our women, and the most OF them,
have nothing to do but sit down and
figure out whether they'll wear orchid
fingernails to 60 with a purple tout
ensemble, Or orange ones to startle
the brown.
Now that we're on this subject, the
Department Of Commerce issues fig
ures which say that in 1927 American
women spent nearly two billion dol
lars on beauty-$l ,825, 0C0, 900 to be
exact!
Another billion and half dollars
were spent for female wearing ap-'
parel in the year of the last avail
able statistics on this subject, which
happened to be in 1925. This figure
subdivides into something like $780,
100000 for shoes; $425 100000 for
hose; $40, 900 for silken UNDER
things: $500, 600 900 for dresses; $780,
100000 for furs, another $500, 900 900

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
RuptureS I'm Children


Ruptures in Children
Question: Mrs. G. F. writes: INV
little girl will be four years old in
June. Five months ago discovered
q lump on her right groin. I had q
surgeon examine her last week and
ne said 1t was definite rupture. VIII
you please advise me what to do as
I do not want her to have an opera
ton II 1t can be avoided. She feels
no pain whatever and 1t seems to
cause her no trouble at ALL"
Answer: It would be unwise for me
to attempt to advise you without hay
ing examined your child. Get the
opinion OF one or more physicians
where you live and rely upon their
Judgment. I have known many cases
to be cured by putting on q proper
support and reducing the gas pressure
inside the abdomen by using q suit
able diet. Ruptures sometimes heal
up perfectly, but in case this method
Will not work, surgery is the only
other step, and 1t is not such q dam
gerous one II performed by an ex-
perienced surgeon, and II the case is
properly treated afterwards.
Uric Acid
Question: Mrs. p. B. Writes: II
am not supposed to eat beef because
Of the uric acid. Could eat the SOUP
made from the beef?"
Answer: Almost any protein food
forms uric acid. and you would prob
ably get more OF 1t froms the SOUP
made Of the beef than from the beef
itself. The trouble is not because
the uric acid is formed by the food.
but from the inability to eliminate It
from the body because of q general
condition Of acidosis, or some organic
disease. This can sometimes be cured
by the correct fasting and dieting
regime. II you will send me more in
formation about your trouble. with a
large self addressed stamped en-
velope, I will be glad to give you more
detailed advice.

ION. due to vocational training.
The 80 are to be enrolled VAS
Students in the vocational train
RnE school, New Jersey Avenue
and B Street, according to the
plan Of Charles Hayes, Of the
american Foundation for the
Blind.
Hayes says each Of the 80 he
9las grouped for training can be
lifted into q useful job.
Aged From 16 to 50
Only persons between 16 and
80 were considered by Hayes. OF
the IS men considered, Hayes said
is could be taught broom max
ping; six, mattress making; one,
the repair and upkeep OF tennis
facuuets: two, press seating OF
chairs; one, typist and dictaphone
operator. The eight women,
Hayes believes, can be taught
home and sheltered industries,
such as weaving, brush making,
braided rugs, etc.
Typewriting and dictaphone
operating, Hayes says, offers q
fertile field for the young persons
among the blind. One young
man already trained in this work
is Roy Bradley, who attended the
Baltimore School for the Blind
and who has been placed with
the Strayer Business College to
start work after the first Of the
year.
$50, 900 is Appropriated
Congress already has appro-
prtated $4,000 for vocational
training here and Hayes plans TO
make use of the Columbia Poly
technic Institute for the Blind as
q center of preparation for voca-
4 tional training, and the furnish
ing of employment. His recon-
inendation will include providing
for additional equipment for the
manufacture of brooms, mat
tresses. brushes and mops at that
institution.

Appointment of State Air
Commission Speeds Up
Progress.

PROVIDENCE, r. I. P.-The ap-
pointment of State Airport Commits
sion and measure applying the regu-
lations Of the United States Depart
nent of Commerce to flying in Rhode
Island have given added momentum to
aviation in this State.
The appointment Of the commission
was q result Of the approval by the
people Of a referendum last election
day appropriating $250,000 for q suit
able airport In Rhode Island.
Establishment OF q landing field at
Gaspee Point. on Narragansett Bay,
said to be logical point owing to its
proximity to the city of Providence, is
under consideration, as Is the What
Cheer Field in Pawtucket. The latter
field Is under lease, however, for three
years to the Curtiss Flying Service.
Rhode Island is included in an ex-
tensive air line passenger service pro-
gram for New England by the Curtiss
organization. It is said that Pawtucket,
Hartford, Springfield and Worcester
will be included in one link.
An amphibian service either from
Pawtucket or Newport to Block Island
Is another contemplated service, while
others include lines between Nantucket
and Newport, Newport and New York.
via Southampton and Montauk, and
Pawtucket to Hyannis on Cape Cod.
The Curtiss company also has made
known plans to establish a seaplane
base at the municipal pier In Newport
and q transport pilot school for stu
dents Of 100 hours or more. probably
at Pawtucket.
Another company (Rhode Island Air
ways, Inc.) has announced plans to
begin an air service between Provi-
dence, Block Island, Montauk Point on
Long Island, and New London, Conn.

SKYLARK VENTURE
TURNS OUT SUCCESS
0klahoman Carries 1000 Air Pas.
sengers in Year-Started
on $500 Capital.

OKLAHOMA CITY OP.-They called
Paul r. Braniff a sky-larking venturer
when he started an airplane line be-
tween Tulsa and Oklahoma City a year
ago-with $500 in his pocket.
Since last June his planes have car
ried more than 1000 people. and the
Department of Commerce reports that
his system topped all others during
April and May in number of passengers.
Its total mileage now approaches the
million mark.
Ten years ago Braniff quit the Army
Air Service, in which he had not
learned to fly, to enter the investment
business. Beginning in 1920, he few
for his own amusement for five years.
Passenger transportation by air was
still pretty much of an untried business
when Branif bought plane from the
defunct Oklahoma Aero Club last June.
For several months his operation costs
exceeded meager income. Finally
he persuaded a few Oklahoma business
men that his venture was safe bet,
and capital was added.
This 32-year-old executive now con-
trolls the activities of more than 100
employees who fly 80 planes more than
5000 miles daily in Texas, Oklahoma,
Kansas and Missouri. His one-man
enterprise has become Southwest sub
Sidiary Of the Universal lines.
1t was largely through Braniff's rise
that OklahomaS status in aviation ac-
tivities jumped to a high rating among
the States. Only New York and Cali
fornia are listed ahead Of the Sooner
State.
