which have trained her in smart ness so she is often excellent for this purpose. '"There is to be no real quarrel between the two classes of models. The secondary ones who merely pose occasionally aren't going to receive work from the advertisers. They recognize the finished prod uct."

 New York's maidens are banding
 together, they say, to keep checks from going into the hands of the daughters of the newly rich who like publicity, and the old families who lack money.
 'It's a mistake" Powers, whose employment agency for models
 caters to society girls. insists. "No
 ones address holds her back. If a girl looks like Park avenue, whether she is or isn't, she has
 the attributes for success as a
 model"
 And. on top of that, agencies will tell you that the girl from
 Park avenue isn't always the swankiest model-and certainly it is the models without social pre- tentions that draw down the big gest salaries.

 think North's bid of five spades is sound gamble.
 The Play
 In the play of the hand, if West with the jack of diamonds opened South will win the trick with the ace, and now you can see his prob- lem.
 He has no entries into dummy and might easily lose two dia- monds, club, and a spade. His only hope is to get into the dummy discard the two losing diamonds, and find East with the king of clubs.
 So here's where he employs base balls strategic play, the sacrifice hit"
 He does not play the ace and king of spades, but leads the deuce West, of course, wins the trick with the queen of spades. Now when he leads the nine of dia- monds, the declarer wins with the king and then leads the five pt spades, winning in dummy with the jack.
 The ace and king of hearts are cashed and the two losing dia- monds discarded. Then the jack Of clubs is lead and now the declarer is assured of the remainder of the tricks.

 Therefore, they have announced that when society debutantes pose as models at fashion shows here after, thus depriving working girls of the money that Is professionally theirs, they will picket the store which holds the show.
 And Thcrc'll Be Boycott And should the social register1te draw down a pay check for grac- ing acigaret or reducing salts ad. there'd he a boycott that would also take in the boy friend and their families.
 All of which has aroused the touchy temperaments of the Park avenue beauties.
 Elsie R. Little, Mary Taylor. Mimi Richardson and Beatrice Hudson, who model in spite of their social connections, defend them selves against the charges.
 Anybody who thinks we model for fun doesn't know anything about that kind of work" is their consensus. we need money just like the girls who never owned an evening dress of their own."
 Addresses Don't Count
 All the furore is utter nonsense, according to John Roberts Pow CTS, who conducts an employment agency which manages more than 100 of the city's best known models both in the advertising field and the style show prom enades.
 Tt is being said that other models are objecting to the social register group" MT Powers says. ''But actually it doesn't matter whether a girl comes from First or Second avenue, or Park avenue. She can't be a model unless she has the Park avenue look about her. The chorus girl type doesn't go in my special field. A girl must look smart enough to be so- cial leader. She must have beauty. posture, charm, grace and intelli- gence. If a girl lacks these at- tributes, regardless of her lineage or her environment, she will not succeed.
 Smartness Is the Test

Few seem to realize it, but there's a special technique in using nail brush. Once you get into the habit of doing it correctly, you'll be amazed at the improvement in the appearance of your hands and at the way your nails retain liquid polish.
 After removing old polish, take small bowl of warm soapy wa ter and begin scrubbing. Push your finger tips down into the bristles and rub the brush back and forth. Treat the thumbs separately.
 Then, using the brush as you would a buffer, SCOUT the tops of the nails, softening the cuticle and removing minor stains. Major stains can be taken off with a bit of lemon juice. If you have call louses, smooth them down with a piece of pumice.
 Now, with circular movements, brush each nail again. You'll mo- tice that this step removes more dead cuticle and gives the fingers suave, well-groomed look. Rinse your hands, pushing cutiole back with the towel. If the little white moons still don't show, dip a cot ton-w wrapped orange-stick in cuticie remover and gently move it around the edge of each nail. Rinse again and your nails are ready for liquid polish in your favorite shade. Remember that the right nail brush is just as important as a good file, an orange-stick and 9 polish that doesn't change color once you get it on. It should be rather small, easy to hold in the hand and compose of flexible bristles, spaced rather far apart. NEWT. Hanv1inase ,s.alras for

Blanche stanway. Tell me what you want"
 You" Racine said to Griff in a voice that quivered with rage, "can wait in the corridor until we get done talking. This is none of your damn business!"
 Griff smiled serenely. Racine" he said, you are man who knows the law. Perhaps you also know the penalty for compromising a felony"
 Mrs Cathay surveyed the men with tired eyes, eyes which seemed hopelessly weary of it all, from which hope had vanished. There remained only the grim tenacity of fighting breed. Carl Racine moved ominously forward.
 I'm telling you fellows" he said, ito get out. This is a pri- vate conference"
 Dan Blocker, 30 pounds lighter than the big detective, and 10 years older, pushed aggressively forward.
 "Try and put us out" he SiilppNFNis
 Sidney Griff spoke in tones that were calmly suave. Ut happens" he said, "that Mir Blocker represents The Blade. It also happens that The Blade is in- terested in this interview, as doubt less the police will be-"
 Racine glowered at Blocker, his manner truculent, but his eyes suddenly shifted to those of the criminologist as Griff finished speaking. Mrs Cathay, white-lipped, her nostrils dilated, regarded Griff with eyes that were dark with emotion.
 "I presume" she said, you want me to beg and oringe. I won't do it.
 "How," asked Racine, did you find out about this?" Griff smiled at him.
 "How did you find out about it?'' he countered. Mrs Cathay whirled to the hard

 Griff told the cab driver to wait and he and Blocker approached the house, a house which had at one time been a pretentious pri- Vate residence but was now given over to furnished rooms.
 sShall we,' Blocker asked as they entered the door, "get the landlady and inquire for Blanche Stanway?"
 T doubt" Griff told him, If it's necessary"
 He led the way up one flight of stairs, paused to listen in the hall- way.
 The sound of swift, excited voices came from a room toward the rear. Griff nodded toward that room. q think" he said, s'that what we want is in there."
 He walked noiselessly down the corridor, paused before a closed door. On the other side of that door a woman was talking. Her voice was audible, but not her words. Griff placed his hand on the knob, turned it noiselessly, showed the door open.
 A fieshy woman with hard, green eyes and stringy, lack-luster hair which had been cut in square bob was seated on chair, 8 mocking smile playing about her lips.
 Standing near the window, clad in black, was Mrs Frank Cathay. Her face was white and tragic. There was a baled look of hope less defeat in her eyes.
 Nearer the doorway, standing with his side to the door, his big shoulders squared, his face flushed with rage, was Carl Racine, the detective.
 Griff's voice was cheerful. "Do we intruder" he asked.
 They stared at him. Mrs Ca- thay's face showed bewilderment. Racine's face was white with cold anger. The woman who was seated in the chair shifted her hard, green eyes to regard tho visitors with curiosity which seemed almost casual.
 We want very much," Griff went on, ito interview Mrs Blanche Stanway, or perhaps she might prefer to be called Mrs Blanche Malone"

.Do you want to do as you please all day, or do you nAe waken with things all set ,.
 About all of us would JusL sn at such a silly question. Our lusa of heaven on earth IS 70 uIsposo of ourselves as the spirit movss us. To loaf and laugh, oaWoie and dream, play and pretenu.. desks and counters and machines.
 This IS splendid for both body and soul. dear folk, but only as an interlude. In a month or wear 6epending on how much the so,iI and, body need rest, such do- as-vou- please leisure becomes the most terrible tyrant on earth. simply because the mind has to make I'D it's program every few minutes. It can't and won't turn into a vacuum. It keeps on lm- proving.
 Routine Bars Problems Much as we dislike. routine and being held to daily pattern we are less driven than we think. un- | less this routine is too grinding and nerve racking, it is reiier from responsibility-the responsi- bility of daily and hourly choice.
 This is why children accept school and regular hours so well.
 Routine fixes the daily plan. IL | reduces conflict. Few decisions
 have to be made. Fewer conflicts | arise between will and desire
 Mother Duty takes charge and a perfectly swell mother she is, | after all.
 But harw. Routine like all sed- atives, pals. Only for so. long are our minds or bodies content to be directed and regimented. There is only a certain amount Of con- | tented submission in all or ue. The driven becomes listless and 1ifeless. The over-driven become | stolid and dull. The will constant
 ly whip-lashed softens and sinks.
 Freedom Is Essential | Every man Jack of us needs the inspiration of freedom a fair part
 of the time. We need a lapse in | which to do our own planning and deciding. We may choose iner- tia, but most likely we won't. AS a rule children woon't, but if they do, especially in the fast-growing
 period, we should not criticize or l interfere too much. Subtle sug-
 gestion may help, but let them feel
 they are doing 1t all.
 Children need an hour or two a
 day to call their own, if possible.
 Home tasks, both school and do-
 nestle, should be brief enough to allow for this interlude.
 Happy suggestion that coincides with his preferences is excellent | for the unresourceful child, But guiding Is not commanding and
 authority should be kept in the
 background unless he exceeds the | limit of fair play.
 l However, routine is good for the soul. We should remember that.

AUTUMN CAUTIONS FOR WINTER COUGHERS

For more than twenty years the venerable, no, I mean inveterate conductor of this gentle, innocent column has ground out the miser- able stuff daily and never missed firing. That's terrible total of at least 7,5OO articles, coiunting week. days, Sundays and special or extra items. The daily batch of bla-bla contains say, GOO words, including the questions answered in print. That makes heinous total of less than five million words, which is taciturnity itself compared with the letters I have written to read CTS. If I had it to do over again I'd palm off carbon copies of the whole works, save 1-10th of one
 percent, which I do wish l had never written.
 October 1. 1914, I issued first annual warning to elderly folk against coddling. Tried to make 1t as gentle as I could without taking all the force out of it. Titled the
 talk "The Bugs of Grandfathers
 Chest"-and opened with a per-
 tinent question: ''Why do so many pCopAC hdNO Shot AAS wan ter cough'-ehronic bronchitis ?"
 Then dealt coneisely with the etio-
 logic factors-excessive clothing,
 insufficient outdoor life, overeat- ing, habitual dependence on alco-
 holic beverages, and finally the ha- bit of wearing additional clothing
 on the chest or about the throat in the delusive belief that it will
 protect" these sensitive" or
 weak" place against "cold."
 Elderly folk, like young folk, here in Yankeeland, take an exten-
 pathology, therapeutics, bacteriol- pages of magazines and elsewhere.
 and after many years of such study they think they know more
 than the ordinary family doctor does about such things. It is diff cult to disbuse a young wiseacre of his cut and dried notions ac- quired in that way. It is virtually | impossible to change the mind of an old one about a fundamental | question.
 The hardened old wiseacre has a slow metabolism, q lowered rate of Acb5 dCtltC than he had when young. Of course he feels the cold. Of course
 he enjoys the temporary flushing of his skin with warm blood from
 within-while the brief spurt lasts
 but how he pays for the dissipa- ton when the after-depression
 comes, as the ephemeral effects of the bracer, cocktail, highball or eye-opener fade and consciousness of tho hard, cold reality of exist ence returns.
 Of course the elderly individu- , al finds excessive warmth agree- able. Can't keep the place over
 heated enough to please him. He
 likes to> bundle himself with all sorts of excessive clothing, on any possible pretext he can trump up, and he does not hesitate to use l fashion, custom or convention to favor his own desires in this.

 Preventing Goitre
 Is there any truth in the saying that eating sea foods will prevent gOftre? (J. H. B.
 Answer Iodin in food is the natural preventive. Sea water is the original source of all iodin. Fish, shell fish, sea weed or moss are all rich in iodin. So there is truth in the saying. Even canned sea fish or shell fish salmon, for instance, is good source of iodin and fair source of vitamin D.

NEAR TRAGEDY ENDS
 IN ROMANCE HERE

After a romance which was marked by drama and near-trag- edy, Miss Wanda B. Cheney and George Leveque were married last night by United States Commis- sioner J. F. Mullen. Witnesses to the ceremony were Guy Graham and Joe Romunseth.
 MT and Mrs. Leveque were the principals in an. accident which came close to having tragic end- ing when they slipped and fell into the glory hole near the Persever- ance Mine while hiking on July 23 of this year. The couple attempted a descent of the mountainside be- yond the glory hole and both lost their footing, falling many feet down the glacier slide. Miss Che ney was severely injured and un- conscious for many hours before it was possible to get her to the hospital. MT. Leveque had to walk several miles for aid in carrying her to the mine entrance where she was placed on the ambulance car and taken through the tunnel. He is an employee of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company and Mrs. Leyeque came here in the early summer from Warren, Minne- sota.
