Everybody cant have that i'm mortalizcd "swan-likc neck" and it is probably q good thing for every body wouldn't look right with such Il tall, slender base for the features.
 But practically everybody can have 2 neck that Is a distinct asset. Bcau% rests on ones neck more than .s generally recognized.
 The way you carry your head has much to do with the smOothncss of your neck, the lack of double chins, and that freedom from sagEing which many young neck has be- cause of faulty posture.
 Never hold your neck stiffly. But enough and your chin high enough so that your neck can have an easy but correct position. Relaxing ex- crcises are, good for your neck.
 Try letting your shoulders slump, bend your, body until your hands hang Imply and yOnr head swings towards your knees. Keeping the body limp, and bent over, lift your head by pulling 1t by the hair with your right hand, then let it drop. 1t may be so ncxed t first that it doesn't swing. But if you can final ly get it so that it just drops and laxed your neck and it will have Il litheness to the way 1t carries your head.
 The color and texture of your neck's skin Is of utmost importance

ran into young mother not ! long ago who was having stage fright about bathing her baby.
 Hes nearly two months old" she admitted. land perfectly healthy, but mothers still giving him his bath. I'm so afraid to handle him. And won't he catch cold? Mother says she won't take the responsibility of putting him in the tub, so he's still being sponged. Is he really old enough to be set in water?"
 "Yes-he's old enough" told her. "He was old enough two weeks or month ago. that is. if the um- bilical scar was healed then" l asked about the house, the water, everything. and learned that the house heated quickly in the morn ings. that the water was pure, and that in fact, nothing but the young mothers panic stood in the way of the daily performance. I urged her to gather her courage together and go to 1t.
 You'll enjoy it more than almost any other thing you can do for your baby" I assured her. "Get your soap and powder and little cotton swabs (for cleaning nostris and ears) and jar of boric solution eff the doctor advises using iD and sweet oil, ct cetera. all on a big tray and set 1t on the back of q low table.

 The Ceremony Begins
 Have a big soft hannelette bath apron tied around your waist. Lay the baby on your kne with his head to your left. Undress him partly (the room should be about 73 de- grees), fold the bath apron around him to keep him from chilling. then lather his head with a soft wet cloth on which q good pure white soap has been rubbed.
 "Itinse his head twice with clear water and dry with a soft towel. A little sweet oil may be rubbed gently on rough brown spots that may ap- pear on the scalp. The doctor will give you directions about washing his eyes and his mouth. But l be- lievc there Is much less antiseptic cleaning of these than there was formerly. Nature does much. If there is any rednuess of the eyes or soreness of the gums or lips. he will give you special directions. Wash his nostrils and cars gently with small cotton swabs.

Aunt Nancy was baking a birth day cake for Joan's party. Con- trary to most authorities she pre- ferred simple butter cake to n sponge cake. It is true that the sponge cake is not as rich as the butter cake, but experience had shown Nancy that her niece was less easily upset with plain cake than with sponge cake.
 She used this recipe and baked the cake In two layers. She put them together with boiled icing spread generously over the top and sides ani then she put six small tapers into the icing while 1t was still soft. It held the tiny tapers upright. She never allowed the children to blow on the cake to ex- tinguish inc candles. Usually ono child in the group has a cold. It is not kind to let that child infect all the rest of the party with her germ laden coughing breath.

Two nights before MT Merry mans trial was scheduled to start Jack came to confer with him. Suc. curled up in a deep chair, in 4 shadowy corner of the room. watch- ed Jacks profile as he sat in the freight. There was tenseness about his mouth, a stubborn set to his chin, hich told her that he was fighting against odds.
 When Mir Merryman finally left the room, Sue came over to Jack and sat down on the davenport which stood in front of the fire. She wanted to put her arms around his neck, to draw his face down and smooth away the worry lines. But she didn't. Jack was too interes' cd in his case now for an outside inter- est. And she must help.
 Through the window she saw the tall. stopped form of her father sil- houeted against the night as be crossed the street under the lamp. Her whole heart ached for him.
 'It's SO unfair. so cruel to live honorably and then he used by crooks and blamed for things you never did" Sue whispered to herself. "Oh. if they ever find who's back of 1t all. And if they don't ..
 But she wouldn't think of that. She couldn't. It was like a terrible nightmare from which she had to waken after while.
 Sue, the jury looks fairly inteii- gent" Jack said suddenly. That may help us. I'd rather have had the case tried before a judge. He could sift the real evidence from the circumstantial but jury doesp't know enough about law to see the technicaiities.'
 Sue hooded
 "If youre guilty, then trial by jury Is a good thing. but if you're ''r o"nnt YOU are likely to get squarer deal with judge deciding. '. "A talked in. Sue, will you heip me search for something now?' Search? What do you mean?"
 "The.e's a bag here that I want to find q money bag"
 "One of the bags which the stores; and industries use to bring in their money?"
 Jack nodded. There's little confectionery that banks with you. fathers bank. It seems that th!s bag was numbered with the missin,; one morning. although the store swears that IL brought it to he bank. You father was on night duty Sue. And he LOOK the bag at the gate doW"stairs, so the store charges There's a heavy grating outside the glass doors. so the mon just passed the bag through the door when your father opened it. But he swears that he stood there long enough to I watch your father pick 1t up and start mo another room. Then 70 came pack, put it under h!s coat. and sat down in his chair instead o' going on to the vaults. The m' r went away then
 And what did my father say"
 "He remembers distinctly. t.e thought the man was acting cu,'. ously ani decided to wait until he l had gone"
 ''But why in the world would .te bring the bag home even if he dld take the ,roncy?"
 He wouldn't. That's ,.y f.n beginning to pick up q c.ew nov. got wind of the fact that the bank WIS told that if 1t would search your house tonight it would find thet bag here for sure.

Among nourishing, inexpensive milk desserts. perfectly made cornstarch pudding holds close to first place. Delicate in texture and flavor, it is suitable for children and lnvalids and should please the most fastidious grown-up.

 Eggs can be added to most corn starch buildings and add pleasing dcllcacy as well as food value. If they are used, remember never to add the egg to the hot cornstrach mix turc.

WASHINCT0N PARK
 COMMUNITY HOUSE
Bond Bill FavorabIy Re- ported By Legislative
 Committee at Hartford
FUNDS NOW ASSURED

When Mayor Hayes promised to use his influence in an effort to get funds for the erection of suitable community house at Washington park. he meant what he said.
 With the $50,O00 bond bill for a community house in Washington park favorabiy reported by the legis- lative committee on finance, plans for the sale of the bonds will be started soon. It Is expected that the bill will be formally passed this week or the first thing next week.
 The community house will be a beautiful structure and will add greatly to the beauty and usefulness of Washington park. The structure is badly needed to serve the people of the Washington hill section.
 Senator Joseph H. I.awlor intro- duced the bill providing for the bond issue. Originally the board of finance in making up this years budget. set up $10.0O0 item for a community house in Washington park. It became apparent that this sum would be too small to erect a suitable structure. Therefore, the $10.00O item was dropped.
 Then Senator Lawlor stepped in and agreed to introduce Q bill in the legislature providing for $50.- 900 in bonds so that the city would have available enough money to carry out the. undertaking. Plans for the structure will be made pub- lie soon, also, it Is expected.
 Washington park serves a very great section of the city and the lack of a community building has been sorely noticed for several years.

Despite the fact that increases were made in several of the de- partment appropriations of the borough at last nights meeting of the board of warden and burgesscs when the budget for the fiscal year 1931-1932 was considered, the tax rate for the year will remain the same as at present 27 mills. At least this is the amount that will he referred to the freemen for ap- proval at the annual meeting in May.
 ; While increases were granted, there also was a cutting of several items from the amount appropriat- ed last year. The biggest increase in any appropriation is that of the charities department, the total for this department being $69.000. $63.- 0OO for the charity department and $6,G0O for Town Hall expenses which is under the supervision of the department. This is the amount asked for by the department. While some of the board members thought this item might be cut. Acting Ward cn Henry Zwick stated that it would take this sum to run the depart rnent for the coming fiscal year, regardless of whether it was appro- priated or not. Burgess Zwick re- marked that the poor must be talk en care Of.
 The fire department budget was increased $3,975, making this years sum $22,615, this would provide for new piece of apparatus providing the freemen approve of the item. A slight increase amounting to about 5000 was added to the street light appropriation to take care of new Installations. Due to the fact that a police officer was retired during the year an increase had to be made in the police pension budget. This amounted to $900 making the item S2,400, instead of $1.500 as last year.
 By making slight cuts in the es- inmates of several of the depart ments and from increased income from the. larger valuation of prop perty, the board was able to keep the tax rate at 27 mills. The school appropriation was sliced $1,000 street repairs was cut $2,000, but increase of $1,000 was granted foI oiling of streets and the street sup plies budget was increased $2,50O' It is the intention of the depart nient to purchase a new road scrap. er. this year. A cut of $2,500 for sidewalks and cross walks was made from the sum appropriated last year. The board decided to let the item for police signal stand as rec. commended by Chief Adamson. Bur-
