COURT PLANNED TO AID
 GREAT BRITAIN

LoLndon - About $500, 900 more than they expected will be put into the pockets of English fashion housese by the decision of King George to hold the customary four courts on May Il and 12 and June 23 and 24.
 A fairly big reduction In the number of American debutantes to be presented was, according to royal circles, one reason for the belief that there only would be three courts. No confirmation of this reduction can be obtained however, until the lists are issued Another reason was. the volun. tary cut of $250,000 in the Kings annual income, which has forced him to reduce all state functions. It is generally believed, there. fore, that 1t was only for the ex. press purpose of boosting depressed English industries that the King decided to hold four courts. British industry will benefit tc the extent of nearly $2,600,000 by the four courts. It Is estimated that among the goods ordered from British manufacturers foi materials will be:
 60,000 yards of dress material 12.000 yards of suitings 5000 pairs of shoes 4,000 pairs of gloves 4,000 fans
 The half million sterling will Dc spent mainly as follows: Dresses $l,250,000; suits, uniforms, $400,. 900; shoes $l75,000; fans, $100.. 900; dressing. $25,000; cos. metics, perfumes, $25,000; photog raphers, $b0,000; hire of automo- ants. $200,000; training of debu- piles, $25,000; hotels and restaur- tantes, $25,000.

 "Do you think ean keep my job or will 1t be too awkward?" Susan asked. ,.5e
 Awkward for whom? No one knows anything about 1t but the three of us. We like you here. Why should you trail around town an- swering want ads because Q jealous woman has brain storm 2 Put that way, 1t seemed the most simple and reasonable thing in the world. Susan drew a deep breath and held up her head again. Every thing was all right. She was grate- full for her escape from danger and she put that gratitude, into hel work. The three men in the office so different in background and tastes, felt the magic of her pres. ence. The gay day was brighter because young girl smiled al them.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart 6io5z s1 Nsz 5EszIGs ING

Getting the old system toned up for enjoying the summer" Morning exercises are indispen- sable!
 Two excellent exercises for stir- ring up q sluggish digestive system are the bicycle exercise and the back kick.
 ITO do the bicycle. you must liz flat on the floor. Don't do 1t until you have limbered up a little bit, for 1t Is strenuous.
 Hold your arms down at your sides, stretch out flat on the floor, raise both legs in the air and be- gin to pedal as you would If you were actually riding a bicycle.
 There are two types of bicycle exercises, the plain variety and the high bicycle. This latter Is done by raising your body clear up. from the floor, resting your weight on your shoulders, and 1t Is anything but easy until you get your bal- ance and get worked up to 1t. Bet ter begin on the easy one. It will tire you out soon enough. Start gently. Simply move both legs in circles about 10 times. and slowly; It Is the motion, not the speed which helps, so take it easy.
 The back kick Is done standing up. Place a straight. chair and standing behind 1t. place both hands on its back. Hold one leE rigid. Then as you throw your head back. kick your other leg up. just as if you felt sure you could actually kick the back of your head. You won't don't worry a. bout It. You'll come q long ways from it. But the exercise Is ex- cellent. ...
 Change legs after each kick. un- til you get limbered up properly Then stand on one leg and kick back about five times in success. sion, seeing how much higher you can raise your foot each time.

 Madison. Wis--That men arc more stupid, yet smarter than women, has been proven by psy-. chological tests given to lo,o04 high. school seniors and 3949 high school graduates who entered col- leges in Wisconsin during 1929.
 A report compiled by<V. A. C. Henmon and Frank 0. Holt, of the University of Wisconsin, says:
 Tt has been pointed out that while there are twice as many feeble minded among the males as among the females. there are more genluses among men than women
 "The supposed law of greater male variability was formulated from a consideration of anatomical traits, the differences in frequency of abnormalities in the seses. and the great preponderance Of men among those eminent In the science, arts and in the worlds work generally"

 "You what?" Her face came alive.
 "Just what I said" the man in- sisted. "Th9 dangers over and there's nothing for you to worry about"

Explaining the Germs.

Some one sends in a cult healers S
pamphlet, in which there appears an
essay on Colds" and in this essay a
definition Is offered. I've been baWling
for years at the physicians who issue
public bulletins about Colds or The
Common Cold" in the vain effort to
persuade one of these authorities to
define 1.-The common cold" If he really
believes there is such an ailment or
disease. No use. The wise ones refuse
to commit themselves. Their position
is satisfactory as it is; the general pub
lie knows what "cold" is, of course.
Well, this cult healer's definition Is
wordy enough, but pretty vague, after
all AS a matter of fact, the essaylst
says, cold is an Inflammation.
There you are What more could
anybody ask? Appendicitis is an in
fiammation but we must not be too
critical The main thing here Is to
explain the germs, for, according to this
cult healer, there are lot of germs
mixed up with a cold oh, yes, indeed,
vast quantities of germs, but the germs
are svavengers, that's all. Why, the
cult healer goes on, it is a well known
scientific fact that such germs are al
ways present in the body :. -.
Which is all hooey. No scientific au-
thority has shown that disease germs
can be present in the tissues Of the
body without producing the specific dis
ease of which they are the cause. Here

bright enough to think for himself he
might have asked how about cooties-
does q man itch because cootieS have
come to him or do the cooties come be-
cause the man itches? Likewise, does a
child develop diphtheria or scarlet fever

ease have entered his body or do the

cause the child has developed symp-
toms of the disease? How painstaking
and considerate of our peculiar medical
whims these disease germs must be

to define the condition they have in
mind. for, of course, they have nothing
in mind.

it forms a soft mass, which gently

pose in life beyond living from day 10
cay. You see, they had been driven
from two homes by the food, and now
they were just wandering in that part
of the Green Forest through which the
Laughing Brook was roaring angrily.
Never had either of them been so FAR
into the Green Forest, and they were
enjoying the adventure. Never did they
get very far from the water, for 1t Is
only when they are in or near water
that they feel really safe.
The Laughing Brook tumbled and
roared and leaped over rocks, and at
times formed big pools. 1t was in the
latter that Jerry and Mrs. Jerry could
swim. for elsewhere the current was too
swift and would have swept them away
and perhaps even have drowned them.
Mrs. Jerry was beginning to think that
they had gone far enough.
What is the use of going farther?"
she asked. ut only means that we will
have to return all this distance by and
by, and the farther we go the farther
we will have to travel back. We have
seen what it is like in the Green Forest,
and if you ask me I don't think much
of it. There are too many trees. And

Your Home and You

BY BETSY CALLISTER.

It's time to start the window boxes.
First thing. get the boxes. Perhaps
you have them. If you have, get them
cleaned out. If the outsides need
painting see that it is done. Then
refill the boxes with good earth. It's
often worth while getting this earth
from the florist, for everything depends
on having the earth rich and the boxes
properly filled. If you fill them your
self, put layer of broken china or
clinkers and coal ashes and stones in
the bottom of the boxes to provide good
drainage. Then fill the box with good,
rich earth.
When watering the boxes be sure
that the water doesn't keep the roots
too wet. Plants, many Of them. don't
like to have their roots perpetually
wet. Like wet feet, wet roots don't
mean health Let the boxes dry out
now and again. And don't ever water
them in bright sunshine.
If the flowers are much exposed to
very hot sun, devise some way Of
shading them in the hottest hours.
Make a tent of heavy paper for each
box, well weighted down at the four
corners with four big stones and put
these tents in position when the sun
is too hot.
'Pansies are the first things to put
into t Ie window boxes, with English
daisies, too, if you like. The pink and
white of the daisies with the regular
pansy colors are most attractive. Later
