FISH IS IMPORTANT TO SUM.
 MER MENUS
BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer

An excellent way to vary sum- mer menus is to make the most of the many varieties of can ned and fresh fish available. Ap- petizing and economical meals can be served easily if we take advan- tage of this food which the mar- kefs offer in abundance.
 The protein of fish is essential ly of the same value as that of meats, but fish is a lighter, less heating food and particularly de- sirable for summer on that ac- count. Then, too, fish. and espe- cially deep sea fish, is regarded as one of the most important foods for children. The method of cooking and serving has much to do with the popularity of fish. Boiling, bak- ing, steaming, broiling, pan fry ing and deeplfat frying-each has it's place for certain kinds of fish. often we'll favored sauce is an agreeable Accompaniment ana adds amazingly to the tastiness oi the whole dish.
 The so-called "lean" fish are especially good when steamed :. You know the lean fish have their fat secreted in the liver. leaving the flesh clear and white. AItei cooking they are dry and flaky and very tender. Cod. haddock. fioun- der, fluke, trout, smelts, black

 "But the men might have been relying on the name of the make" |" she told herself. From far off another memory drifted. She was recalling the night when she and Jimmy has gone pumping down the river road in his old-fashioned, rickety car. and had met Jack in the long sports model. Jimmy had been poor. then. Jack had been wealthy. Now Jack was put out of his fathers office and house, and his position was gone. while Jimmy was climbing to the top. Even on that night long ago she had known that she was going to love. Jack Thornton-that she could never care for Jimmy Hay den as he wanted her to.
 Grace is coming" Sue told the physician. You'll stay until she gets here, won't you?"
 He nodded. Sally, who had changed to an orange, and small beret that matched was pulling on long brown suede gloves. Her hair was a burnished red-gold and her blue eyes were so heavily made up that they were astarthngIy dark. "Well?" she asked as Sue stop- ped in surprise.
 we don't want to send you away. We'll leave. I'm sure Jimmy can be moved to our house" Dr Raynor shook his head at Sue, from a vantage point beyond Sally, and signaIed that she should let the girl go.
 Shell go anyway. It's the finding of her hiding place that is soaring her out" he said as soon as he could.
 ''Why is she hiding?" Sue ask ed. :. T don't know. Let her go--ii she still insists"
 The soft thud of snow on the windows and roof, growing heavier as the afternoon began, was the only sound in the cabin as Sally went on with her preparations. The sound of the taxicab broke the silence. It's Grace, I think Sue said. Jimmy is still asleep That's good" She opened the door Grace was pale and her green eyes were enormous in her tired face. But the black close-httine hat and the long black coat were smartness itself. She smiled at Sue. and stood watching the recumbent figure resting among the pillows and blankets on the couch.
 "Has he said anything about me vet ?" she asked at last. "He hasn't talked" Sue stop ped for the mans lips were fram- ing words. "Oh gosh, Natalie, you can't go to a woman andS tell her you're walking out on her. Just wait a little while. Please. Nat"

Forward Steps to Beauty.
 If you want to be sure that your beauty steps are being made in the right direction, make sure that your feet are flexible. See that you are getting the proper exer- else. Walking helps. But it isn't enough.
 When you get out of bed in the morning, stand on one foot, hold ing onto chair, if necessary. and Wriggle your toes until they are so loose they feel as though they might drop off. one at time. De- scribe as much of a circle as you can, with the foot on which you are standing. Make the arc one way, then the other.

go around in conquering manner, as though they owned the earth. Pretend that you have a lease on a second of it and you will be sur- prised how much more lightly you will walk. Never drag your feet. Plant theim firmly.
 Walk in a straight line. Don't let your toes turn out. Toeing the mark is important when you are taking a walk for beauty's sake.
 If you have callouses, see a pro- fessional chiropodist. If your an- kles Dare weak or your arches are broken. see physician. The ex- ercises, which are prescribed are for normal, healthy feet that have grown lazy.
 Shoes and hose must fit and be comfortable. During warm weather change your stockings at least twice a day. If possible slip into another pair of slippers when you come home from the office or store. The effect is cooling and relax ing.

 They went to the county park and strange to say Mrs Smith spent mogt of the time wiping Der eyes land nose. "I didn't know children could be so ignorant of grass and flowers and trees" she walled. They are as much excited over a COW or a sheep as they would be over a six-legged giraffe" sT told you, you would have the time of your life," nodded hearty little Mrs Jones. Come here, Patsy; TIT put some salve on that stone bruise, and Jerry, you go up
 to my car and get that little box with bandages and things. That's the boy! No, no more wading,
 Patsy. You have had enough for to-day"
 Mrs smith told a friend, and she told q friend, who told friends.

 lar pilgrimages once or twice a week with carloads of children who never see anything but rail- road yards, mi1l-stacks and dirty burnt pavements schildren whose only knowledge of a tree is an anemic sumac here and there lean- ing weakly against fre-escape.
 Funds this summer will be low for children's outings. The one- day treat cannot take the place of the heavenly two weeks under the sky, but 1t helps a lot.
 If you have Hothing to do, as Mrs Smith complained, it is an ex- cellent way of entertaining your self as well as those poor little souls who need to discover that the world can be and is a very beauti- full place.

Sally could not contain her de- light as she watched me at my various tasks in the laboratory. She touched everything in sight---the rich clusters of California grapes, the fresh, dewy water-liliess the hardy mountain sprigs and heaped- up fruits and flowers, which lend their juices to the building up of youth and beauty.
 Madame" she cried spontan- eously, II never dreamed that a beauty laboratory would be such a paradise of fresh fruits and flow ers!'' :.
 Times have changed, my dear" I said. 'sThe ancients, such as the Greek Egyptians, used com pound of white lead and perhaps milk on their complexions. The white lead was first dipped in vim egar or acid, and then applied to the face"
 But I thought that white lead is a dangerous chemical!" Sally exclaimed.
 "It is," I replied, but the an- cients did not know it. Women daubed their faces and took the risk. It is the same with other chemicals, such as ccal-tar pro- ducts. If the skin is cut-ever so slightly-the chemical pene- trates to the blood and may cause poisoning. Nowadays we have benefited by the findings of sci- ence. Science has taught us that only the purest herbs and fruits can correct bad skin conditions, without harm. Take these water lilies and grapes, for instance. they will eventually find their way into a millSy-white skin-toning To- ton, a. bracing liquid that whips up the tissues to new activity and youth, that sets the skin tingling with health, and into pure balsanl astringents which actually tighten tissues"

Can Be Run Up in Remarkably
 Short Space of Time

For hardy wear and summer travels, here's a cute idea.
 The dress is yacht blue pique with plain white pique bodice. Blue pearl buttons accent the front scalloped closing.
 Linen Is also an amazingly strong material. It would be lovely for this smart jacket dress in soft brown shade with striking yellow contrast.
 Another cunning scheme is orsngy-red shantung with white shantung printed in red polka-dots for little dressier wear.
 Then, too, you could use yellow pi6ue for the dress and brown pidue for the bolero jacket.
 Style No. 555 is designed 1ol sizes 6, 8, 10 and 12 years
 Size 10 requires 1-2 yards 39- inch with 3-4 yard 39-inch con- trasting.

NEW YORK, May I2.-Weakness,
acute in the rails and general else
where. afflicted the stock market again
today.
For the reaction three different rea-
sons were assigned Probably the de-
cline was result of the working of all
three. In the first place the contin-
uous falling of in railway traffic ere
ated peSSimism. The railway averages
went approximately to their bear mar
ket low. Declaration OF a $50 divi-
dend on Union Pacific, although fully
as good as had been expected, seemed
to accentuate the decline instead OF
checking it.
In the second place there was anx-
lety about the state of affairs in CEN
tral Europe, where the Danubian states
are struggling with an apparently in
solvable financial problem.
FINALLY there was the adhesion of
President Hoover to the Robinson plan
for huge Government bond issue To
finance public works and to loan relief
funds to States. How much of a fac
tor this was in the stock market it Is
hard to say. The most abrupt sinking
spell In the share list came Just before
the Presidents statement was made
public. 1t was the cause of break in
Government bonds
The selling in the rails was in eyi-
dence from the start. 1t appeared to
have no new cause. but was simply the
cumulative effect OF the continuous fall
ing of in car loadingS, revealed not
only in the weekly report of the roads,
as whole. but in the individual state
mentS OF various carriers. Overnight
consideration of the final omission of
the New York Central dividend likewise
was an unfavorable influence.
During the first hour the averages
for the railway stocks stood at ap-
proximately the lows of the bear mar
ket. New York Central dipped under
$l3 a share for the first time in the
history OF the road, while Atchison
broke through its old resistance point
to sell under "a, and new lows were
recorded by Baltimore & Ohio, North
ern Pacific and Louisville & Nashville
Industrials and utilities followed the
rails downward. although not gener-
ally into new low ground. The oils
made the best showing, but they, too.
were somewhat lower. The pressure
was greatest against Allied Chemical,
Air Reduction and Eastman Kodak.

days declaration of the regular divf-
