Those of you who know dogs
will understand that it is quite
a trick to get two dogs to dwell
together in peace and friendship,
without jealousy. Miss Dunno
claims that it is because the dis
positions and interests Of her
two are so vastly different.
Major is a calm parsonage
who takes himself and Miss
Dunno very seriously. Her
property is his property, and her
wishes his. He has an amusing
manner Of CHASING the terrier
with the rest of Miss Dunn's pos
sessions, and takes care of him
with the same sober dignity with
which he guards her home, the
star explained.
Both Game
Ruffy, on the other hand, is
a fuss,budget. He spends his en-
tire time getting excited about
things. A passing bug, the neigh
boris cat, an odd noise, or the
grocer's boy, are all major events
for Ruffy.
He regards Major as a big
brother who can usually be
counted on to help him out OF
scrapes. Occasionally, he be-
comes condescending. But Major
doesn't mind. He Just looks at
Miss Dunno with the manner OF
one adult to another in speaking
of a child-and skipS it.
Miss Dunno owns a sporting
combination of dogs-for the
gameness of both breeds men
toned above cannot be ex-
celled. One thing especially to
be noted in connection with
the German shepherd-and the
same is usually true with
foreign dogs or dogs that have
been handled little-the younger
ones are far more docile OF
nature and are more suitable
for general purposes in domesti-
cation.
Good Guardians
The original savage instinct
becomes greatly modified with
closer and more constant asso-
citation with human beings
especially in thickly settled
communities where frequent
contact with people is to be
expected.
Hence, the present-day type
of shepherd in this country IS
a much tanner. gentler animal

Advice to the
LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Another party" Girl?

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I hope I'm not going to be the
victim of too many sentimental
emotions. I've always been a
fool over men-that's a con-
feSsion isn't it? And I hope I'm
not going to be just another
party girl, as men never marry
that type.
I'm engaged to one man, &C.
cept I'll the invitations can dig
up from another, and really care
seriously for third, who gives
me no encouragement at all.
My family is utterly disguised
with me, and declare I have no
more stability than a weather
vane. But, somehow, I can't help
being what I am. Does reforma-
ton ever happen after 10?
BUTTERFLY.
Reformation does not stalk a
butterfly who is having the time
of her life and glorying in it.
Anything I could say to a young
lady Of your type, I fear, would
impress her as Victorian and
"preachy." Why not flutter,
spread your wings, and bask in
this particular kind of sunshine
till you reach the point of satura-
ton.
Then, when YOU become seri.
ously interested in a succession
of young men, who, like this
third one about whom you tell
me, decline to suggest a single
date, perhaps you will turn over
a new leaf on your own account,
and settle down into someone's

Every woman reliShes q
change Of season! It means new
and exciting clothes and a de-
lightful chance to make over
ones self into a more charming
and alluring creature!
And If the metamorphosiS is
wisely mastered. you will find
that your social ogram
(Which almost died with the
last season. takes on a more
vivid hue and actually gives
you a new lease on life.
Such a rejuvenation should
begin with the body-not with
the wardrobe. What gown can
lend appeal if your hair and
skin need reconditioning, or if
your body ungracefully bulges
where it shouldn't? Let's be
honest with ourselves and de-
termine what we should do to
deserve new clothes and to be
flattered by attention.
Take an honest mirror in
your hand and face the north
in broad daylight. Look at your
skin. It's in that in-between-
season stage, isn't it? Rather
dry from the summers sun, or
dull and lined because of holi-
day neglect. It lacks that fresh
luSter which gives it youth.
You are looking a bit Seedy,
with your sun tan fading and
those slight blemishes more 40

a daily skin treatment that
will whip back the glow and
Smoothness to your face.
Begin right by choosing a
fresh jar of cleansing cream.
And if you are really deter
mined to rejuvenate yourself,
what could be more appropri-
ate t han the new cleansing
cream that claims to embody

penetrate rapidly and deeply
and to stimulate sluggish pores.
It's a splendid cream to use
for q quick reviving treatment
at the end of an exhausting
day, and constant use of it does
much to bring a fresh glow to
the skin and to smooth away
fatigue lines that insist upon
appearing in any season!
It won't hurt to give it a
chance to prove its claims, for
it is moderately priced, beauti-
fully scented, a pleasure to use
and rather exceptional.

Meats, eggs, some vegetables
and some fruits, some cereals
and some sweets are the good
sources Of iron-but some OF
each container are better than
others.
The very best Of all food
sources of iron are the liver, kid
ney, brain and heart OF meat
animals.
The lean muscle of beef, veal,
lamb, pork, and the dark meat
of poultry are very good also.
SO are egg yolks. So are oysters
and ShrimpS.
However, not even these IRON
rich foods alone will give you
the required daily ration Of iron.
You must pick up some more,
here and there, in several other
kinds of food.
For instance, add turnip
greens, beet tops, chard, dande.
lion or mustard green's to your
meal-or watercreSs, spinach
and kale. Any thin green leaf
vegetable is a rich source Of
iron.
Whole wheat flour and cereals
contain iron. as do barley. rye
and oats. White flour and re
fined cereals contain hardly any.
Peas and beans, either fresh or
dried, are rich in iron.
The bureau suggests that we
plan some iron-rich meals. to
see how they compare with our
customary meals, both for iron
and for general satisfaction.
Here are suggestions for three
separate days, using only low
cost foods, and not counting
beverages-but stressing the use
of whole wheat breads and
flo11rc.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-10-10

But it really is not so simple,
says the bureau. 1t is true that
iron is found in most foods
but. the content varies enor-
mouSly. You cannot get your
quota Of iron from any one food
In the quantity that you would
normally eat of that food at a
meal. For instance, Of baked
beans, which is one of the rich
est sources of iron, you would
have to eat more than a pound
to give you your daily amount Of
iron!
So there is another problem
for the houSekeeper-how to
make sure that the meals she is
planning contain enough iron
for the family.
The only practical way to be
sure of enough iron day by day
is to have enough different
kinds of foods to yield a little
iron here and there, to make up
the desired total
