For Info nal Sports Coats

AS the spring rolls on and
days get warmer, we're all find
ing more and more informal
things to do. Automobiles, in
ever thicker droves, are winding
their way out Of the busy city
to the green and grassy country
side. Golf courses are becoming
increasingly dotted with debs
and dubs. And raquets are hit
ting and missing balls all over
tennis court.
And for motoring, and going
to and from various outdoor
recreations, good substantial
informal coat is needed. Sub
stantial, for it is sure to meet
with lots of wear and tear
rolled up in cars, flung over
benches or stuffed into locker.
But because it must be sturdy is
no reason for any lack Of smart
ness in cut and detail. And in
looking through the stores, we
came across three grand coats
with these qualities combined.
Regulation Smartness
The first one Sketched on the
left is more or less regulation
Swagger or polo type-a favorite
in fashions eye. There's an in
dented seam following the lines
Of the notched revers, the slash
pockets, the closing and the
turn-back cuffs, and, it certainly
gives the coat a very tailored,
finished look. The sleeves are
raglan; the buttons are galilith
and the lining is silk crepe.
Diagonal Seams Make Cones
The moment you see the
suede coat in the center, you'll
understand why it's causing a
big sensation In New York!
For anything so simple and
casual, yet distinctive and ut
terly different would be pounced
upon Immediately by everyone
in the Fashion Know. And
now's your chance to do some
pouncing, too.
Who'd ever think that any
thing else original could be
done with that familiar detail,
diagonal scanning? But look
how and where it goes in this
coat! It even Unexpectedly
makes odd little cone-shaped
pocketS!
Suede or Suede-like
And as if any more dash
we're needed, there's a pointed
closing with a wool scarf loop
ing out at the side, after it
wraps around the neck. The
inside's chic. too, with the lin
ing matching the scarf. That
is-it matches in the suede.
Crepe lining is used for the
doeSuede.
And now for a decision!
You'll have to make a choice
between this coat in real suede
for about $3.50, and doesuede.

Your Health
And Diet
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d
A ladies afternoon club has
invited me to settle a ques-
ton which has given rise to
considerable debate among
the members, viz: "Can a
mother mark her unborn
child?"
Far be it from me to un-
dertake to do so final a thing
as "settle" this controversy
which has gone on for cen
turies and still rises every
now and then with undimin-
ished vigor. But 1 will state
some of the evidence.
The facts which provide
fuel for the debate are sufti-
GENTLY frequent. A mother
while carrying a child sees a
revolving spectacle, has a
fright, or meets with an acci-
dent, and when the child is
born it is marked or deformed
in way suggestive of the ex-
perience.
Thus for instance, wo-
man is frightened by a frog
which jumps out of her wash
tub; when her baby is born
it's form resembles a frog.
Again, woman is burned
on the arm by brand fall
ing from a burning billboard
which she is passing; her child
has a birthmark on the same
arm which looks like a burn.
Coincidence, not cause and
effect, is sufficient to account
for these occurrences. Deformi-
ties of the newborn occur in
about one out of every 200
births. Considering the time
period alone-if a woman lived
$50 years it would be strange
if she did not see something
revolving in that time. One
hundred and fifty years is the
combined length of 200 preg-
nancies. The deformity known
as a frog baby" is probably
the commonest Of all. Birth
marks are present in over so
per cent of newborn babies.
They occur on all parts of the
body.
It is unusual for anyone to
live for three-fourths of a year
without having some slight in
jury or accident. If there we're
any truth in the doctrine Of
marking, everyone should be
marked.

He Was a Poet
He was a poet and he felt
The rhythm which through

Within his spirit something
knelt
Before nights marching stars
and suns.
His was a poets soul that saw
The moving magic of the
tide
Which thundered in, but to
withdraw
Still restless and unsatisfied.
Where other men walked deaf
and blind,
Aloof from all Earth's broth
erhood,
He read his neighbor's heart
and mind,
He SenSed each need and
understood.
He was a poet. Though he
went
Sometimes without a crust
Of bread,
Still was he lowered with
content
And still by beauty was he
fed.
Through Faiths wide case
ments he could see
How time is but lotus
bloom
Adrift upon Eternity,
A little star in Nights vast
gloom.
From Faiths tall turrets he
could gaze
Upon bright regions far
ahead.
What fear had he in Earth's
dark maze,
What cause for any doubt or
dread?

The Staff of Life

Flour, which is ground grain,
was mankind's first manufac-
tured food. 1t was first made
in prehistoric times by placing
kernels of grain on a flat
stone and pounding them with
another stone.
In general, the progress of
civilization may be measured by
improvements in flour milling.
These improvements, in turn,
are measured by the degree of
fineness and purity of the pow
dered wheat obtained, from the
coarse meal of the cave man
to the finely pulverized gluten
content cake flour of today.
More wheat, our most impor.
tant food, is produced in the
United States than in any
other country.

told me that he threw hers in

Since you ask me, my dear

AS Thatcher Colt reached her

Extra chairs were brought and
presently five of us were gath

at least a little self-conscious.
There was a moments awkward
silence. On nearer view the ef-

still startling.
If she did not look so youth
full, her expression was more

brilliant. The woman's eyes

How Many Can A Win at
NO-TrumpS?

B made a grand slam at
spades on the hand shown be-
low, as explained yesterday. z
made an opening bid Of Heart.
1t was apparent to A that z
held all four kings, and he bid
2-No Trumps. B took out with
3-Spades. Wanting the honor
score, unless his partner could
make a slam, A bid 3-No
Trumps. When B went f.
Spades, his partner realized
that B must have two double
tons, or perhaps a singleton or
void suit; in which case there
probably was a grand slam, and
A bid 7-Spades. The general
rule is that a suit make will
win one more trick than can
be made at no-trumps. At the
end of the hand the question
arose: How many no-trumps
could A have made?" Detailed
play is given below.

for children of school age.

When Manners
Are Correct
By MRS. BEECKMAN
Address the "In-Laws"

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
How should one address ones
mother-in-law and ones father
in-law? A says it is correct to
call them Mr.. Jones and Mrs.
Jones. B says it is correct to
address them as mother and
dad. M. E. H.
At first one does say Mrs.
Jones, Mr.. Jones, that is, say,
in the early days of the engage
ment perhaps. But soon as the
acquaintance deepens, this form
of address seems too formal.
Then usually the best form is
the use of mother and father
with the addition of the sur.
name: Mother Jones, Father
Jones. And a very dignified
form of address this is, for it
registers the charming words
mother and father, with the ad-
dition of the name which dis
tinguiShes the address from
ones address of ones own
mother and father.

Does your baby have nights when
he fuses, tosses and seems unable to
go quickly, quietly to sleep? Look
for one common cause, doctors
say. A conStipated condition.
To get rid quickly of Accumulated
wastes which cause reStleSsness and
discomfort, nothing is better than

needs. 1t is a pure vegetable prep
aration; contains no harsh drugs.
no narcotics of any kind.

Open the Gift

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it necessary, when a girls
boy friend brings her a box of
candy, that she open it while he
is there and offer him some? I
think that opening the candy
while the giver is present makes
one feel cheap, but my friends
think that I am wrong in not
having given the giver some of
the candy. r. A. E.
I agree, heartily, with your
friends. To me it seems most
unnatural and "hoarding" not
to open the candy and share it
with the giver. It's SO much
fun, too.

its store managers this advice:
81. Do you want to be certain
of reader interest? Many a circu-

while the local newspaper with
hundreds of general new items is

page.
20 Do you want representation in

other merchants of your town use?
Then use the local newspaper.
Women, the purchasing agents of
the home, read newspaper advertis-
ing daily, whereas many a circular
is tossed into the waste basket with
out a glance.
"3. Do you want fast action?
Then use the newspaper. The ad
you run today, if it contains real
merchandise news, will bring i'm
mediate results tomorrow. You
can receive and sell out a consign-
ment of merchandise with newspa-
per advertising in less time than it
takes to prepare a circular.

strong factor in the building of
goodwill and acceptance by the
whole town as a good place to
