 In the case of bleeding, there arc certain first-aid measures which may be undertaken at once.
 Ordinary wounds can be con troiled by pressure with Q pad made from a clean piece of sterile gauge. Sometimes, the application of hydrogen peroxide will stop such oozing. Hot water may be tried, but merely washing with luke- warm water will often increase the bleeding.
 Tn case of very severe hemor- Images, 1t is possible to wrap e cloth tightly around the arm or leg above the hemorrhage. However. tourniquets are 50 little needed in ordinary accidents about the home that 1t Is hardly worth while to keep Q supply on hand. A tourni- quet Is easily improvised by merely tying loop and twisting with 6 rod of any kind.
 If there Is bleeding from a tooth socket following an extraction 1t can usually be controlled by plug ging the socket with sterile cotton or by the application of hot water. Care must be taken to avoid burn. ing or scalding.

KEEP CHILDREN BUSY TO
 BREAK TIfUMB-sUCKENG
 HABIT
 (By NEA GeFvice)
 Billy was three and he sucked his thumb.
 Jeanie, his sister, was six months old and she sucked her thumb. She didn't suck 1t all the time--just when she went to sleep. At other times she lay and cooed and played and never thought of her hand.
 But her mother was terribly worried. She wasn't going to have another thumb-sucker in the fam. lly if she could help 1t.
 When Billy was that age she had worked with him terribly hard to try to break the habit. She never could, however, and now she was at her wits end to know what to do.
 From Bad to Worse
 She bought some little buib- shaped affairs to tie over Jeanie's hands so she could not get them to her mouth. Jeanie mouthed them and screamed and cried. After s week of struggle her mother tied her arms down to her sides by wrapping a big towel about her body.
 This was worse still. The baby. like all babies, was terrorized at restriction, and 1t seemed as though she just never would so to sleep.
 Her mother did all the things she had done with Billy at his age plus all the new things she heard about, She tried one after the other only to give them up be- cause the baby needed sleep. The whole house needed 1t.
 Let her suck her thumb for awhile" she declared. Tin tired struggling"
 Some Helpful Advice
 So Jeanie began all over again. She would drop off happily to sleep with the tiny pink thumb in her mouth.
 one day Mattie came in to wash and she asked to see the baby.
 "The darlin'," she cooed. wiping her hands on her apron and bend ing low over the bassinet. T wish mine was little again. They looked like that A suckin' their thumbs so sweet"
 What did you do to cure it?"
 Cure it?" Matte stared. Why nothin' at all. They cured their selves when they could walk. Any, way my kids was all too busy for thumb suckin. Eight of 'em."
 Billy sucks his thumb"
 He wouldn't If there was eight kids. He just ain't got nothin' else to do."
 I've spent three years trying to break him."
 Gracious goodness! Is that 50. Mebbe if you stop worryin' he'll quit"
 "I'm trying to shame him out of It."
 Suggestion for Cure
 "rhe lamb! We'll. mebbe that I makes him worse too. They do say the more you fuss and talk the | worse they get. Say" Matte | had a thought. "Why don't you get him a dog, or same bunnies, or a lot of things to keep him awful busy? Just so busy he'll | forget about his thumb. And get | kids in to play all the time. Just l 50 he won't have time to get his | fingers up. And this here baby I worry about. Honestly, | I think you're gonna have trouble | with ali this tyin business. I l think 1t just sets 'em."
 T hope you're right, Mattie. Maybe I will keep Billy busier."
 A year lateE Matte said one day. Say, Mrs Smith, remember when they sucvked their thubs."
 Yes I do, Matte. And you were their doctor"
 'Mebbe 1t don't always work" said Matte. but 1t just seemed to me like sense."

Suits With Fantasy And Formal
GAY SUMMER TALLEURS RETAIN PRACTICAL NOT
By JEAN PAT0U

Written TOT NEa oIHaiCc
 ParIs-lt is doubtless because of its subtle charm that women are so fond of the little summer suit. I admit that it always can pc counted upon to contribute note Of novelty to a woman's wardrope' 4nd can therefore. never tire by US mon0tony.
 Its only resemblance to the strictly tailored, sober and even austere suit of years ago is In its com position, that is, the combining of q skirt and jacket, although. or course, the .modern suit ts often composed of a dress which can well be worn alone as well as a jacket.
 The fact that the summer suit offers a great deal of fantasy does not by any means debar it from being distinguished. This fantasy prevents 1t from being too sad and sober, and this is the note I always endeayor to avoid in my summer collections.
 There is, as a matter of fact q definite scale of elegance in these summer tailleurs. Some can be giv- en an informal note--otherB are sufficiently formal to be worn at smart functions. At the races for example they are not at all out Of place and are often singled out for their afr of restrained elegance and chic.
 The practical note, always the main feature of the old tailieur, is still present and even accentuated in its modern edition. Take for example a suit composed of q navy blue or black satin dress over which is placed a jacket of some brightiy-hued linen. The dress it. self belongs to the semi-formal afternoon category. Worn with the jacket, 1t constitutes . perfectly appropriate and practical town suit.
 It is certainly a long cry from the classical suit in the case of such models where the blouse and jacket are combined in one gar ment, being neither one nor the other.
 The fancy fabrics used for the summer suit help to lend 1t note intermediary between the dress and the suit. This particular note is one which I have always striven to achieve in every suit of this cate- gory, departing as much as possible from the rigidity of the classical tailored suit lines and still intro- ducing moderate amount of fantasy.
 Evidently, if color combinations are restricted to black and white effects, there can never be mis- take to record. I personally prefer less obvious and somewhat banal combinations. and recently I en- deavored to achieve some unexpect- ed contrasts, which fortunately have been quite successful with my clients.

GIVE THE CHILDREN
 CHOCOLATE MILK By SISTER MARY
(NEA Service Writer)

l NNnfh DCEtlCC Many mothers have. difficulty in persuading small persons to drink milk three times day. If a choco- late milk drink is served for luncheon 1t helps to break the | sameness and expectedness of plain milk and makes milk at the other meals less difficult. Chocolate syrup Is most con- venient to have on hand. It can be used in numerous ways and makes it possible to prepare choco- late beverages with little effort anf small expenditure of time. of course cocoa can be made in the usual way, quickly chilled and served but this takes longer than 1t does to add two or three table, spoons chocolate syrup to glass of cold milk.
 Chocolate Syrup One-half cake bitter chocolate, 1 1-2 cups granulated sugar. 2 cups water. 1-4 teaspoon salt. 2 teaspoons vanilla.
 Crate chocolate. Mix sugar, salt and chocolate. Add boiling water to make q smooth paste and slow ly stir into 2 cups of boiling wa- CNi. DUH uIiti SyEuVys SOOI dUu add vanilla.
 Use from two to three table, spoons of this syrup to glass of milk.
 Chocolate Flip This drink. with sandwich makes spiehdid luncheon for a child on a hot day. One teaspoon dry cocoa and 2 teaspoons sugar can be used in place of the choco- late syrup if syrup is not at hand. One egg, .tablesponos choco- late syrup, 1-2 cups milk.
 Separate white and yolk of egg and beat white until stiff. Beat in chocolate syrup. Add milk to yoik and beat until well mixed. Com. blne mixtures, pouring the yolk mixture into the white. Mix well and serve. This will make two glasses. The milk should be well chilled in order to insure a paiat- able cold drink.
 Never put ice into drink made with milk. The fec dilutes the drink and makes 1t unpleasantly thin and tasteless.
 The chocolate syrup can, oi course, be added to hot milk to make a hot drink when wanted.

the other way about.
 3.--Yes. It usually starts in childhood where girl sees that boys enjoy more privileges than girls. For this reason many girls resent not being boys. Tn later life women see these same boys win- ming praise and doing big things and they compare their less active life with the careers of men. A fur- ther reason is that women, with
 many exceptions, are less conven- tional than men. For example, we never hear of men going through q craze for dressing like women. It Is Just a part of the desire of many women 10 overcome mistaken sense of being inferior to men by running the blun of maie attire.
