Whooping cough is not the
harmless disease it seems. And
when I say harmless, I lealize
that every child who suffers
from it is pitiable to behold,
nevertheless people believe such
suffering soon passes; that it
is only one Of those childhood
disorders every youngster must
go through.
To be sure, whooping cough
is common enough and most
children actually get over it.
Yet many do die. Besides,
hemorrhages in the ears, nose
and elsewhere may occur; lung
disorders, particularly pneu-
monia may be complications;
while the heart, from the Sc
we're strain put upon it through
violent coughing, is often i'm
paired.
Pertussis is what the doctors
like to call whooping cough,
but it derives it's more familiar
name from the characteristic
explosive cough, which is &C.
companied by a peculiar crow
ing sound or whoop. Once it
has been heard, it is never for
gotten.
The disease undoubtedly is
caused by a germ, but the
exact nature Of this organism
remains shrouded in mystery.
Such germs may travel from
one individual to another with
out the two coming into close
proximity. Simply entering a
room where there is a pertuSsis
patient may be sufficient to
"catch" the disease.
Three distinct stages Of whoop-
ing cough are recognized. First,
the catarrhal stage; next, the
period during which the spas
modic cough already alluded to
is the prominent feature;
thirdly, the stage in which the
disease gradually grows less and
less severe, until the patient is
cured.
Generally speaking, there is
no whooping during the first or
catarrhal stage. Some children,
however, start coughing in this
strange manner from the very
beginning. Usually the symptoms
are those of an ordinary cold
in the head, with running nose,
sore throat and perhaps a lit
tie temperature. If cough is
present at all it is likely to be
dry in character and rather fire.
quent. This beginning stage Of
pertussis lasts about 10 days.
If the child is really not
developing whooping cough,
and is only suffering from a
common cold, the symptoms
described above will grow less

The next scene in the drama
is laid in New York. Lima Bas-
quette evidently brought the
idea East, for she has been
strolling up and down Fifth
Avenue in trousers. stopping
here and there to shop. Then
a New York store, anxious to
find out just how far the fad
would go, made beautiful trou-
ser suits for a professional
model, and sent her out and
about the town for a week or
more, and reported her ex-
periences. At first people SEEM
ed startled, and even shocked.
Then they gradually became
accustomed to the idea, and &C.
cepted it quite well.
Well Received Here.
The suits you will see in
Washington are just fad, but
they have a definite use. They
have a skirt and trousers both,
so you can wear either. You
don't have to make a sensa-
ton by appearing on the street
in trousers, for the suit with
the skirt is just like any other
smart tailleur you'll see all
spring. You can use the
trousers for wear at home, and

bly, will be gone entirely at the
end Of 10 days. But if it's per-
tussis, the cold" gets worse
and the cough gradually takes
on the whooping sound and
shows a tendency to occur in
spells of paroxysms of coughing.
Later, as the second stage is
reached, the striking character
of the cough becomes readily
distinguiShable. In fact, there
is no miStaking it. The child
coughs from 10 to 20 times in
succession and is scarcely able
to catch it's breath. The face
may become purple, the veins
in the neck stand out promi-
nently, the eyes during the
attack look as though they
might pop out Of their sockets.
The patient actually has every
appearance Of choking to death.
Even to witness such suffering
is an ordeal, while the child
himself often becomes utterly
exhausted.
After the patient has coughed
for a time he is able to loosen
and expectorate a thick mucus.
Vomiting may also occur. But
then the coughing stops and
the child remains fairly COM
Portable until another paroXysm
takes place.
During the stage Of decline,
which occurs as a rule within
a month after the whooping
stage began, the cough be-
comes less frequent and less
severe. In about three weeks
the coughing fits are gone and
the patient, except for general
weakness, is we'll again.
If complications have taken
place the convalescent picture is,
of course, a different one.
That is why expert medical
attention is always advisable in
pertussis.

Perhaps you've been inter
ested in the trousered mode, as
spoken of often in this and
other papers. You've no doubt
wondered as to its effect on us
here in Washington, and it's
permanence. You may have
been waiting for a word from
fashion authorities on it. The
best way to discuss the subject
is to go back to the beginning,
when Marlene DIETRICH first
had her tailored suits made
with trousers instead Of with a
skirt.
DIETRICH Started It
Hollywood is evidently used
to innovations, for nobody SEEM
ed to get excited over Marlene's
trousers. Other actresses fol-
lowed her lead, and although
most of them reserved their
trousers for sport and loung-
ing, a few were seen in the
shopping section, but only oc-
casionally. In Hollywood they
have been seen so far only in
tailored types, made of woolens
of the mannish type, and there
has been no attempt to bring
in bifurcated evening clothes.

The trousered suits we've

double-breasted jacket, skirt,
and a pair of trousers. They
come in mannish woolens, in a
Glenquhart plaid, stripped flan-
mel, or plain worsted. The
trousers have pleats to fit them
at the waist, and they really
look quite trim when they're
on. The suits are priced $25
for the three pieces, are in
gray or brown, and come in
misses sizes, as they are only
for the young and slim.

Barry's shoulder and whirled
him off before he could greet

necessary introductions.

possible to hold Y down to two

In case B leads a Spade
when he is in with his K Of

the Ace of Spades. Y holds
the K-Q-1O-8 of trumps, and A
has the 9-7-6-2. Y can lead his
last Diamond, winning the
trick with dummy's Q. Then
dummy's K-Q-J of Spades will
enable the declarer to discard
his three Clubs. When the
fourth Spade is led from dunn
my, A must trump before Y
does, and all AS trunps will
be picked up, giving the de-
clarer four-odd at Hearts.

A made an opening bid Of
One Heart. Y bid Two Hearts.
z bid Two Spades, that Y
shifted into Three Hearts,
showing that AS opening bid
had been made largely upon
distributed strength, and that
Y really held the big Heart
hand. What can Y make at
Hearts against the best de-
fense, and what can z make
of Spades against the best de-
fense. Study of such misfit
hands affords excellent prac-
tice.
AS best opening lead with
Spades trumps, is the Ace of
Diamonds, giving his side two
defensive tricks in that suit.
Having won the second Dia-
mond trick, BIS best return
lead is a Heart, which trick
will be won by AS Ace. The
best return lead for A is a
Heart and a ruff with the Nine
of Spades, later on causing the
declarer to lose two trump
tricks to A, and giving the de-
clarer two-odd, with 100 points
for honorS.
Suppose Y plays the hand at
Three Hearts. Probably D will
lead his fourth-best Club, pick
ing up AS lone King. The
natural return lead is the de-
clarer's lowest Heart. AS Ace
will win the trick, and two
Diamond tricks will be won by
ABB. What is B to lead next?
If he leads a Diamond, dummy
will win the trick. The King
of Spades will be led. The
declarer will trump the Ace of
Spades, and A will win a Heart
trick ultimately, giving him
three-odd, as A must lead back
a Spade, enabling the declarer
to discard his losing Clubs on
dummy's Spades.
Instead of leading back a
Diamond, when B wins his trick
in that suit, he may lead a
Club for A to ruff. If that is
done ABB will have won their

BICYCLE FAD
IS BOON To
BUSINESS

Part of the new deal" Amer
leans are giving themselves seems
to be a return to the simpler
and more wholesome life and en-.
tertainments. And among these,
it appears from a survey made
by dealers, is the return of the
bicycle.
Once the bicycle industry in
this country ranked high, but
coming Of the automobile dimmed
it's glory. However, now there
has been revival of interest to
such a marked degree that bi-
cycle manufacturers and dis
tributors are becoming optimistic
again.
Fad Takes Hold
Starting more or less as a fad
among movie stars in Hollywood,
the bicycle demand has grown
steadily. In Arizona, in Texas
and in Florida there is heavy
demand for the two-wheelers. And
the six large bicycle factories of
the country, which have been
running at far below capacity,
are now calling men back for
full-time work.
Because of the advantages of
the machine production, bicycles
today, it was explained, sell for
about $50, whereas the same quail
ity bike in the old days cost well
over $100.
Another element noted by the
manufacturers is that there has
been a great increase in the num-
ber of bicycles used by women.
Although in the old days only
about 2 per cent of the bicycle
riders were women, now the fig
ure has jumped to As per cent.
And, it was pointed out, women
don't always require Women's BIZ
cycles. They frequently use the
models for men, due to newer
styles in clothing.
Even the Tandem
The tandem bicycle, which will
carry two, also is coming back
into vogue. However, the new de-
parture in that type of machine
is that it has double controls, en-.
abling the person in the rear to
steers as we'll as the one in front.
Dealers are concentrating on
adults. When bicycles came into
use they were intended for the
grown-up. Since then they have
become a joy of younger people,
mainly boys.
The wheels, according to report,
are being used by commuters in
many localities, mainly in the
West, to take them to their trains.
There they park them until night
fall, when they return homeward,
and thus have an easy means Of
locomotion to and from the rail
road.

CYCLES BRING
OLD TIMES

It'll soon seem like old times
are back again, with men
wearing spring steel bands
around the trouser legs. They'll
wear them to keep the trouser
from catching in the bike
mechanism when they go BIZ
cycling. Dealers are beginning
to stock up with them.
The chime bell and the bell
with the embossed eagle on top,
both of which operate by
thumb pressure, are still in
vogue.
Horns that trumpet melodi.
ously and are operated by a
hand bulb are available for the
cyclist who prefers a gentle
manly warning.
The dashboard type handle
bar watch, which has a radium'
dial, helps get bicyclists to their
destination on time.
And there has been consider
able improvement in locks for
making sure that the bike won't
walk away under the friendly
propulsion of an enemy while
the owner isn't looking.

History tells us - and don't
think for a minute that the
bicycle hasn't a history-that a
Frenchmar. NJ. de Siverac, orig
mated the idea of a bicycle.
Worked On Rides
He startled the streets of Paris
by appearing on a contraption
that had two wooden wheels, two
upright posts, and a croSs-bar
ioining the posts. He achieved To-
comotion by pushing on the
ground with his feet.
This model T bicycle had to do
until 1875, when another French.
man rugged up his bicycle with a
front wheel that could pivot. His
name has been lost from history.
In 1889, two Frenchmen, Blan'
chard and Magurier, put on an
extra wheel-not a spare, but a
working wheel. In order to keep
the varieties separated, the new
order was called a tricycle., and
the original species, a bicycle.
The high wheeler came in dur.
ing 1918, Baron de Saverbrum be-
ing responsible. The front wheel
was 81 inches in diameter, and
the two rear wheels IL inches.
In 1921 Louis Gompertz, OF
England, perfected a gear rope
that made pushing on the ground
unnecessary. Thirteen years later
Kirkpatrick Mcmillan, a Scotch
man, invented pedals with con-
Meeting rods. He added a gear
shift later.
The earliest bicycle that ap-
peared in the United States was
brought over by Pierre Lallement,
q Frenchman, in 1866. It was a
high wheeler, made of wood, with
iron tires. The Americans who
were taken for a ride called 1t a
''bone crusher."
Hard rubber tires came along in
1868, and wire spokes in 1869.
The bicycle grew and grew in
popularity. but the front wheel
stayed high until about 1893, when
AL Shock, riding in a six-day race
on what was called a safety
bicycle" made all the high rollers
look silly.

IS AID
To BEAUTY

Ride a bicycle to beauty" is
the advice Of Gladys Glad, Amer
ica's most famous beauty and
a we'll known magazine and
newspaper correspondent.
According to Miss Glad, bicycle
riding cannot be surpassed as a
means of keeping bodies timber
and limbs shapely. Legs, thighs
and hips all benefit from pedal
ing, for all the muscles of the
lower part of the body are
brought into play.
It isn't just for chubby girls
that Miss Glad advises bicycling,
but for the tooth-pick variety as
we'll, for bicycle riding is excel
lent both for reducing fat hips,
thighs and legs and for develop
ing thin ones.
