Your Health and Diet
By Logan CIendening, M. D.

Pins, peanut shells, paper
clips, dimes, nails, pennies,
thumb tacks, egg shells. water
melon seeds, buttons, small toys
in the form of bicycle riders,
jack stones, safety pins, open
and shut-these are some of
the things that have been
found in the windpipes and
outlets of children.
How do they get in? Espe-
cialIy one wonders how objects
Of such size get in. Of course,
they get in by being put first
in the mouth. Then a sudden
deep breath watts them into
the windpipe or they are
gulped into the gullet and get
stuck there.
The astonishing thing is that
they can be sucked past the
CLOTHS into the windpipe with
no sensation. A doctor friend
of mine had this experience:
He was tapping his teeth with
a pin, when suddenly he found
it was gone. He looked on the
floor for it, then it occurred
to him that he night have IN
hailed it. An X-ray picture OF
his chest revealed it in the
bronchial tubes, from which it
was removed. He felt abSo-
lutely no sensation as the pin
went into his windpipe-not
even enough irritation to cause
a cough.
In the case of a young child,
then, the accident may occur
and the child will not feel
enough discomfort to complain

about it. How can the mother
suspect such an occurrence?
Are there any symptoms which
indicate a foreign body in the
windpipe or gullet?
In the gullet or oesophagus
a foreign body is more painful
than in the windpipe. It causes
a sense of pressure and great
discomfort on swallowing. Diff
ficulty in swallowing is always
. a symptom which should be in
vestigated.
In the windpipe, a foreign
body, after being lodged there
a short time, causes paroxysms
Of coughing, on any movement
or change of position. Asthma
is also likely to occur. If left
alone lung assesses or pneu-
monia may occur. The X-ray
will confirm the presence of a
foreign object in the bronchial
tubes.
Modern methods of instru.
mental removal have been de-
Veloped to a high degree Of
perfection.

people like their clothes because
they say they are essentially
American, and more suited to
the lives we lead than the
French copies that are avail
able. The clothes Of Elizabeth
Halves and Annette Simpson
have been given particular pub
lcity, and the prints of Edith
Marie Reuss, because they are
SO typically American.
An American Print
1t all remains to be seen. Of
course, the French couturiers are
in business primarily to make
clothes for people, make them
to order, and if we rush over
and grab their ideas, and they
do not work out so we'll when
reproduced by the thousands,
it is no. their fault. There is
much to be said on both sides,
and the contest will bear watch
ing. AS to. choosing your own
clothes, both French and Amer
leans have their good points,
and unless you know where the
dress originated, you probably
can't tell which it is anyway.
But if you want to be really
up-to-dcte, and in the forefront
of fashion, buy the dress we
have had sketched today. It is
one of the new American-de-
signed prints, a gay, vibrant
thing in color. It is a smart
frock, no matter who designed
it, and it will make excellent
conversation at your next
bridge party. It's available in
Washington, just about as soon
as it was shown in New York.

Washington Fashions
By WILMA LAVILLE

There's a trend in fashions
that is well worth noting, worth
reckoning with, but one that
has just begun to get some
publicity. It's the sponsoring
of American designers on a
par with French couturiers.
Of course we've always worn
clothes by American designers.
Most of the clothes you buy
ready-made are either designed
in New York or are adapted
from Paris models. But you
have never known the names OF
the designer, or considered it
worth inquiring about.
For Busy Peoples
Now several New York stores
are featuring the clothes and
fabrics of some of the younger
Americans. These smart young
people started designing for
their friends; then, as the de-
mand for their things grew, for
the public. Now some of them
have substantial businesses. and
are doing quite well. Many

Optimist

An Adobe Road
I would ascend again the sun
baked lodges
That closely clasp the hill,
And from the crest would see
the valleys edges,
A golden land, and still.
From the adobe roadway, ris-
ing. winding,
I hunger to behold
The climbing path, its sunlit
wilderness binding,
The hills, the haze of gold.
The humble flowers, smiling
from the grasses.
The whip-poor-Will'S refrain.
The lambs that gambol up the
hillside passes.
All these I want again.
These joys I want that tran
GULLY abound there,
The ease from cares sharp

All, does it wait me still, the
peace found there,
Up that adobe road?

Do You Know

A good treatment for the neck
that seems bent upon it's own
destruction is to apply hot COM
presses-good sized towels wrung
out of hot water for three or
four minutes, and to tap a
heavy emollient into the flesh.
Slap from collar bones up to the
chin, from collar bones to the
ears. Apply cold congresses,
holding them on until the flesh
is pink and glowing.

Advice for
LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
An Authority of Problems Of
Love and Marriage

An Authority OF PrODIemS OF
Love and Marriage
"He wants me to marry him,
but I can't settle down. Not
now, anyway. I must say he
is sweet about it, for he is will
ing to wait indefinitely. Only
when he talks of my being his
wife, 1 almost hate him, because
I can't abide the thought Of
ownership. Freedom is my ideal.
I am %.
"He once said the shadows
under my brows are to blame
for my restfulness-they re-
minded him of the spread Of
wings of a bird. He does really
have beautiful thoughts. and I
like him a lot. Mother says
this restlessness will pass when
I marry. Is that possible?"
The girl who signs this note
is named Evelyn.
Marriage Life Job
Let's first consider the advice
of your mother, dear Evelyn.
She knows more than can be
told of you in thousands Of
letters. All of her knowledge
and all her love is centered in
one thought: what is best
for my child?"
I can answer fairly and at
once, Yes, your reStlesSnesS
will pass" Age takes care Of
that.
Whether or not you should
marry the man you write Of,
however, is another matter. You
admit you like him a lot" Do
you love him? Marriage, to be
successful, will demand that
you love with all your heart.
Not only you but he would
need that kind of love to make
a success of married life.
BEING married successfully is
job, like any other job, only
more so.
Any other job means from
eight to 10 hours a day. You
get wages, but you've got to
earn your wages. If you don't
make good you are fired; or
when dull times come you are
laid off. Marriage is the life
time job.
Is Anybody Really Free?
Suppose you give yourself and
this friendly, nice kind of man
a vacation, while you make up
your mind-say, six months or
a year. How would you like to
set him free from his obliga-
lions and promises to you for a
year? No letters. No dates. No
nice compliments about your
eyebrows being like the wings
OF a bird in flight.
Just silence for six months or
a year. You to be free and he
to be free-free for that time.
And without prejudice, as the
lawyers say, you and he could
meet and make up your minds
at the end of the agreed time.
II you can stand for such q
separation, you probably like
him now, but don't love him.
Get a job in another town. Try
those bird-in-flight wings. See
where they will land you.
Otherwise, make a clean break
OF it; marry him, and make a
shining SUGGEST of it.

Man Slain as Sacrifice
To Strange Gods

DETROIT. Nov. Fl G.N.S0-
In the heart of modern Detroit a
man was stabbed to death on a
crude altar as a blood sacrifice
to strange gods.
This was revealed to startled
detectives today by the confession
of Robert Harris, negro religious
cult leader, that he "Slaw an un-
believer" with a silver knife be-
cause his gods demanded sac
rifce.
The body of the "unbeliever"-
James J. Smith, also a negro, was
found yesterday on the rude
wooden altar in the rear rooIl of
Harris home. The victims skull
had been fractured and from his
chest projected the silver knife.
Detectives arrested Harris and
his wife. Bertha. at the home of
a neighbOr. Harris readily con-
feSSed the crime.
He is the high priest. he said,
of the order of Islam, a human

in Cincinnati; AssaiIs Sales
Tax and the Dry Law

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov.
81 (I.N.S.).-The American
Federation of Labor today
opened its annual convention
with an outright demand that
industry provide nationwide
unemployment insurance.
Charging that industry has
not provided work security or
created work opportunities for
those who are able, willing and
eager to work." the federation's
executive council recommended a
compulsory insurance, to be paid
for by employers alone.
A Drastic Step
The recommendation was the
opening shot in battle against
the. depression to be waged at
the convention. The step Is one
of the most drastic yet taken by
organized labor.
Employers throughout the
country are opposed to such a
, plan. Many other unemploy-
ment insurance ideas provide for
labor to pay for a part of the
insurance.
Many other liberal solutions
for alleviating unemployment
distress are expected to be sug.
gested at this convention, pre-.
sided over by William Green, ma.
tional president.
Hostile to Sales Tax
A six-hour day and five-day
week, a tax to equalize wealth, a
system of national economic
planning, increased public hunger
relief, and open hostility to a
sales tax are plans which have
been Informally suggested.

her to college.
Took Girls On Hikes
She, with other girl friends,
accompanied him on some Of the
daily hikes he made into the
Great Smoky Mountains. She also
waited on the table at home and
Robins often aided her and her
16-year-old sister, Madge, in their
studies.
Asked if it was true that he
had offered to send her to col

"Why, yes, he told us all he
would like to send me away to
school, and sister, too"

Inquest Today in ROLAND
Case; Arson Charge Sure,
Constable Asserts

After a six-hour grilling by
Prince Georges county Off
GERS, L. G. ROLAND, 48-year-old
war veteran, broke down early
today and confessed that al
though he did not inten6 to
harm his common-law wife,
Margaret Hurley ROLAND, 38,
he set the, fire which caused
her death last night in their
home near Capitol Heights.
ROLAND will be present today
when coroner's jury empaneled
at Capitol Heights will weigh
his written confession and other
evidence and determine whether
a charge other than arson will
be preferred against him.
No Charge Yet Filed
Until the confession and the
medical examination revealed
that, the woman died of burns
and suffocation, the case had
many sinister aspects.
ROLAND was under arrest to-
day in the tiny Jail at Capitol
Heights, but no charge so far has
been placed against him.
Constable Earl Blackwell. Of
Capitol Heights, closed his inves-
tigation shortly before noon,
saying:
II am convinced that the
man did not intend to kill his
wife, but we will leave that
to the cOrOner's jury. / will
say though that one charge
to be placed against him will
be arson"
Mrs. Rolland's charred body,
fully clothed, even to hat and
pocketbook, was found by firemen
in an attic nook of the home after
flames which threatened to des.
troy the house had been extin-
guiShed.
No Marks, Save Burns
Constable Blackwell denied pub
liShed reports that rigor mortis
had set in the woman's body be-
fore the fire was started.
The medical examination showed
there were no marks other than
burns on the body.
ROLAND was arrested an hour
after the discovery of the body
after Constable Blackwell said he
had told many conflicting stories
and after firemen had reported
the man as saying the man told
them:
LET it burn; it's mine."
The confession made and eX-
ecuted before six witnesses was
turned over to Justice of Peace
Oscar T. Ford, who will preside
at the inquest. The justice Of
peace was absent from the town
and was not to return to Capitol
Heights until just before the in
quest.
Story Told by ROLAND
According to Constable Black
well, ROLAND told substantially
this story in the confession:
He and his wife had been
drinking home brew and had
been at home all day. During
the early evening they decided
to go for an automobile ride.
