SUMMERTIME
BY D. c. PEATTIE.

V you may get a fright out of un-
" expectedly meeting q snake,
but I never got what country
ladies call "a turn so badly as
when first encountered a
/ swapping turtle.
Part of the ferocious appearance OF
swapping turtle is due to the fact
that his head and forelegs are so large.
The shell also is high in front, so that
a full-grown old snapper seems to stand
| about knee high to man. But, like
the lion. his rear is less impressive
than his facade. The shell falls away,
is low and notched. and the tail. though
long and curiously created like some
/ dinosaurs, is rather tapering and un-
| impressive. The whole stance" Of the
/ creature is slumpeddown, and fails to
live I'D to the boast of the front.
As the Summer days grow warmer
the sluggish blood of the swapping
turtles also livens bit. and there are
still some spots in the marshes and
shallow waters around the District
where they are common-too common
to nv taste. For the jaws OF the snap
per are very powerful. Though he acts
short sighted. l think he is in reality
crafty old reptile. who sees you COM
ing from a long way of.
They do not duck their heads when
approached or touched; they hiss and
open those startlingly big mouths. l
have sometimes in dry weather met the
swapping turtle on high and dry land,
proceeding through woods or even over
agricultural grounds. The reason, I'm
sure is that their favorite home pond
has dried up and they are migrating TO
happier. wetter spots.
Of our eight turtles, this Is the only
one that is really in the least alarm
ing The red-bellied terrapin, which
is sometimes eight inches long, is the
next largest in size, but the swapping
turtle is sometimes almost four and a
half feet long-aS large as 10-year-
old child. and great deal heavier and
| harder to intimidate. All the other
| turtles are coWed with light flick on
the nose or a few taps on their shells.
The snapper proceeds on his way, by
no means very slowly. and quite con-
fdent that nobody is going to moleSt
him.
Occasionally cocky young farm dog
will try out his powers on snapper.
But the turtle is probably not easily
worsted. and if hard pressed he has
only to go inside his fortress. where
the dogs will be forced to abandon the
siege at last.
More than any living creature the
turtles to me recall the giant reptiles
| of the past, although these were. most
| of them lizards But no modern lizards
have the armored plates of the ancient
dinosaurs and the modern turtles.
Lucky we are that it was turtles and
not dinosaurs that were selected out to
survive!

Il 4 cause it usually does not hold
wave well, and when it is
worn straight it looks scanty and tends
to slide out of place unless it is very
firmly pinned. This type of hair with
its babylike delicacy requires special
handling to bring out its beauty.
If the hair and scalp are healthy
successful permanent wave may be put
in, but unless the operator has had eX-
perience in waving this type of hair
and adaptS her methods to the individ
ual problem before her, the chances are
that the wave will not remain in the
hair long.
A decorative coiffure for fine hair Of
shoulder length that is either naturally
curly or permanently waved may be
dressed with a long part on the right
side which divides the hair into two
sections. one large and the other small.
The hair on the right side is finger
waved in a diagonal direction and the
ends are formed into a roll behind the
ear. All the rest of the hair Is combed
over to the left ana a wide wave is
made over the crown of the head from
front to back. The ends of hair are
arranged in a mass Of ringlets on the
left side of the head, and held in place
with a long, curved comb. The ring
lets are sculpture curls that have been
put in the hair while it was wet and
then combed out after it had dried.
A less dressy coiffure and one that Is
more adapted to wear with daytime
costumes has left-side part. The hair
on the right of the part is combed
back from the brow and then comes
forward in a deep dip on the right side
of the forehead. There IS another wide
wave coming down over the top of the
right ear. On the left side the hair is
combed diagonally back from the fore
hsad with single wide wave over the
ear to match the one on the other side
of the head. The ends Of hair are
formed into sculpture curls, dried and
then combed out before they are
brushed together in a long roll. The
sausage effect should be avoided. how

but of total food. A diet which con-
tains meat several times a day may not
be bad on this account, but because the
total food taken Is more than the dlges-
tive organs Of the body can take care
of easily.
Often men who eat largely of heavy
foods at the same time eat sparingly OF
fruits, vegetables and Whole-graln ce-
reals which furnish the roughage that
most of us need to help the food in the
digestive process. They often drink a
little milk and. consequently, with the
lack of vegetables and fruits, are short
of the necessary minerals and vitamins
in their diets
These are the men who in later life
make the sanitariums prosper with their
patronage, as every so often they find 1t
necessary TO spend some time recover
ing from these diets for the rest of the
year OF course, some of them reform
their diets and then their families and
friends must be reformed, also. whether
they need it or not. Nothing but

There is nothing like vegetable diet
why don't you try it?" Do you
recognize any of your old friends after
they have taken, of necessity, the diet

The man who wishes to avoid dis
aster-or at least discomfort-in later
life should choose his food from the be-
ginning of his business career with
thought to his present need. Fruit for
breakfast in addition to whatever else
he likes: a comparatively light lunch,
including vegetable and fruit or salad,
egg dishes, small servings of meat or
fish, milk or a milk dish. Then din
ner at night can be enjoyed with no
particular thought except of cultivating
taste for all vegetables.

different from those used in his regu-
lar work.
I spoke before of prominent fnan-
cier, who, from mental effort and
anxiety, reached a state of nervous
exhaustion, so extreme that he gave the
most foolish instructions regarding buy
ing and selling securities. Instead of
having complete rest mental and phys
ical, he was taken out of the city, and
from morning till night was made to
walk, to dig, to do hard gymnasium
work, SO that he perspired freely, ate
ravenouSly and slept soundly. His pro-
gram was just eat, work, sweat, bathe
and sleep. Once day he was allowed
one hour Of golf. He was back to nor
NAL mentally and in splendid shape
physically in a few months.
You are considering holiday, a va
cation. What is likely to give you the
best results? A complete change from
your work or routine; doing one or
more of the things you like to do
fish, read, traYel-for your mental re-
Taxation, and swim, play golf, walk
for physical recreation. These should
bring you back to your work refreshed
mentally and strengthened physically
Some cases of mental exhaustion
need complete rest, mental and phys
ical, but most would do well by change
of scene and by physical exercise or
work.
