NANCY PAGE Thumb Sucking May Be Just a Passing Fancy or Whim
By Fgorencs La canke.

Poor Lois is having her troubles with her young daughter Ann. It seemed as if she no sooner had one worry adjusted than another sprung up to take it's place.
 The feeding, schedule was now going we'll and Lois was just about ready to wean Ann entirely. She had been troubled with eczema, but that had cleared up. Now Lois saw that she was putting her thumb in- to her mouth whenever she was tired or sleepy. Oh dear, was she going to have a thub-sucking child? Visions of the poor young sters with misshaped mouths, ade- holds. outh-breathing. fiattened thumb all came before her.
 She went to the doctor. He was sensible man, up-to-date in his practice and theory, but sensible and monochrome in his views.

SHIPPERS TO
 SPOT PERFUMES
Tariff Law Creates Need for Keen Nosed Men in
 Customs

Seattle Wanted: men with long, sensitive noses, unmarred by con- tact with keyholes, jugs, mash bar rels and pocket flasks, to fill posi- tion of official perfume sniffer.
 When the revised tariff went into effect this month. the customs bu- reau' found 1t had no man on the force whose sense of smell was deli cate enough to ''spot' different brands of perfume and label them by their odor.
 The new tariff provides for 75 per cent duty on perfume. with other duties dependent upon the brand, strength and type of per- fume. The government has plenty of men capable of naming intoxicat- ing liquors by their smell" but not 8 one that could perform in the fol- lowing manner:
 Chief perfume sniffer, standing third in line at the pier as the ship docks. lifts his delicate, quivering nostrils as he seeks traces of in- coming perfume.
 Anybody have any perfume to declare?" he should ask.
 The passengers line up, and he walks quickly from one to another. 'Hum-m, that's Jasmine, duty $4.2S. Night of Passion,- duty $2.92. Flowers of Orient, duty $3.75. Am Der Royal. very good grade. duty. $9,57."

About once a year have to re- mind q started to say parents but | shall change it) people" of hand kerchiefs. Every time I do it l think my impudent duty done. But along comes another late-winter sea son and it's .sniffles and sneezes and have to do it all over again.
 stand 1t as long as I can, watch ing people cough and sneeze all over street cars and movies, and children rubbing their noses on their coat sleeves. then my pen gets itchy and has to preach its sermon.
 Seriously there isn't a thing on earth that we are as careless about as this very thing. We are old enough to Know better but the chil- dren go out as we send them. What child ever was late for school be- cause he ran back to get a clean handkerchief?
 They say you can tell gentleman by his handkerchief. Let me tell you story, something I saw with my own eyes.
 One morning before Christmas, l was coming home from Washing ton. The train pulled up for some reason or other a half mile out of the station and stopped. Right be- low the tracks was the river and a number of recruits from that heart breaking army of the unemployed had slept there on the bank the night before.
 here about the things saw in that early frosty morning, but in a little eddy of water three men were wash ing handkerchiefs and hanging them over fruit crate to dry. If you are interested in this story, that has nothing on earth to do with children. By the way, I shall add that almost directly opposite that spot now stands one of my city's greatest monuments to decency and human ity, for large building now houses and feeds those men. I have been in every corner of it and cleanliness ts-well-no hospital could be clean- CT. I wondered if my handkerchief washers were there and able now to keep alive that last thing that dies in a gentleman, self-respect. More earnestly still I hoped they had found work.
 A handkerchief isn't just square piece of muslin. It represents some thing infinitely greater. It isn't q germ catcher either. It represents something infinitely greater still. Cleanliness Affects Behavior SlCdAlIHeSS HaS more Sf1DD1nG power over our behavior than we suspect. Some races and religions put the immaculate body on level with the immaculate soul, so inn portant have their ancestral teach CTS considered the effect of cleanli- ness on character.
 We ourselves have a saying that cleanliness is next to godliness, but we do not always practice what we preach.
 Children must learn these nice ties of living early, and the possess sion and use of nice clean ''mou- choir" sets a child up in his. own estimation to an enormous degree. But it is one of those things he has to be trained to need and use-let me repeat-early.
 The use of the handkerchief should be taught. A child must use it to cover his mouth when he coughs or sneeZes. He must not put his hands to his nose or mouth without it. He must not use it to dust his desk or wipe his shoes.

As Mabeiline Smith asked Corrinne If she wanted to come with her. as she congratulated Sybil Lester for having married Clifford Becker. Cor rinne drew back. , You don't congratulate the bride, just the bridegroom" she answered in toneIess voice. and wondered why she had answered at all.

 Far, far down the street, out of sight now. Corrinne knew Harry's car went rolling onward, while she stood, a little cold in the brisk air of early spring. Life was tangled and upset. Nothing mattered much. Har- ry believed her. but he didn't love her.

6[ORTFYIVG YOURSELF:
BY YAZICIA HART @ se3O Bv MEA SERylCE INC.

The appearance of your nails Is the thing that really gives hands that touch of beauty everyone wants.
 One question that comes up eter- nally is how to care for the cuticle. One girl writes me that she is con- stantly bothered by hangnails; an-a other that she has halfmoons only on her thumbs, that she can't seem to push the cuticle down far enough to make it stay where the other half-moons will show, without hurting her fingers.
 In the first place. a general rule should be laid down not to cut cuticle. But you know nothing can be that clear cut, in this life. Prac- tically everyone who has not had perfect care of her hands sin childhood has to cut the cutiele uD- til it is trained to stay put without growing back up onto the nail.
 A good spring measure is to con- centrate on your hands for a sol q month. Begin with your nightly bath and scrub your little old hands until the nails are scrupulously clean.
 While your hands are still soft from bathing, do one of two things. Either cut the cuticle carefully with a good, sharp pair of mani- cure scissors that hasn't been used for anything but cuticlc. Or apply ono of the commercial liquid cuti- gle removers which most beauty par lors now market. Then rub into the finger tip, around each nail, warmed olive oil or melted vaseline that is still warm. Push back the cuticle as you rub this in.
 For ten cents you can get lit tie contrivance that is both an orr. ange stick and brush to push back the cuticle. This is an excellent inn p1ement to wield when applying the warmed oil. Dip the brush end into the warmed oil and push back the cuticle as you apply it.
 The next morning, after washing your hands carefully, again apply the olive oil or. vaseline or cuticle oil that was made especially for this purpose. Every time you wash your hands during the day, push back the cuticle as you dry your hands And most important of all, rub a 1it-5 tie cold cream into your hands. and especially your finger tips. be- fore you consider your hand -wasf,- .ng finished.
 Hang nails must be cut. carefuiiy and perfectly enough so there won't be any bits left to catch on things Be sure that you haven't an uncon- scious nervous habit of picking youi nails with your other hand. That often is the cause of hang-nails.

'I would not worry if I were you, Mrs Miller. Thumb-sucking is fre- quently just a temporary phase. Be- cause a child indulges in it for a month or two is no indication that he will continue it into his teens"
 Sometimes children suck thumbs or fingers because they have dis covered that mother dislikes it.. Every time they do it they get atten tention, so they do it. probably with out consciousness that such is the reason, just to get the center of the stage in the adult world. It is pos- sible to get so wrought up over it that an emotional state is set up which defeats its purpose. A child who is bounded to eat begins to think that eating is the most inn portant thing in the world. That is, not true. Neither is it true that thumb sucking is a crime. Take the thumb out of Ann's mouth. but don't let her feel your emotion to- ward her action. If she persists in doing it for the next six months we will devise a method or two which will cure her without hurting her feelings, making her resistant nor giving her feeling of shame. But in the meantime, don't worry. She is a darling and you and MT Miller should be proud of her." "Oh we are. Doctor Green, but I want to continue to be-" Well, let's take care of difficulties as they arise and not create them. Just now be con- tent to be proud of your Ann.'
