have a long life there. The clean
skin is not so likely to become in
fected as the dirty skin if accidentally
cut or scratched. Nor is it likely to
harbor germs from doorknobS, toys,
car straps, bannisters, pencils, books
playing cards, money. letters that
have come through the mail. Even
though they come from friends and
relations, one can never tell with
what they have been in contact en-
route.
Clean hands, therefore. diminish
the possibility of carrying germs
from the hands to the mouth and
thence into the body. BY bathing
every day and washing the hands
and face several times a day, espe-
cially before meals, we are not only
able to abstain from the peck of dirt
allotted to us in the proverb, but we
materially lessen the possibilities of
contracting communicable disease.
Dermatologists advise plenty Of
soap and water washing for the skin
inclined to pimples and blackheads.
Lather the skin two, three or four
times and rinse well in running water.
Pat the skin dry. Open the pimples
with steriliZed needle, gently press
out the pus and sponge with piece
OF clean sterilized cotton moistened
with alcohol. Then rinse the skin
again.
This treatment is a good preserva-
tive of a healthy, clean and smooth
skin. A persistent case of acne or
any other skin trouble should have
the advice of physician, however
My leaflet, Daily Care of the Skin, :"
stresses the point of thorough cleans

Who Are You?
The Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

line Of Rogers Is traced to Sir John
FitZ Roger.
Although there are several branches
Of the Rogers family in America, they
no doubt all had common origin.
The home of the Rogers family in
England was in Norbury, County
Salop. In the seventh century, dur
ing the reign of Edward II, Roger
de Norbury was granted the Manor
of Home, in County Salop. Since that
remote period the estate has re-
manned in possession Of the descend
ants.
The coat Of arms we reproduce was
borne by James Rogers, one of the
name to blaze the trail to the New
World. He was born in 1915, in Eng
land. In 1885 he came to Rhode
Island on the ship Increase. He did
not remain in Rhode Island, however,
for he was later found to be living
in New London, Conn, where he was
engaged in business, and was q repre-
sentative to the General Court.
An earlier pioneer than James was
Joseph Rogers, who was a passenger
on the Mayhower. He was a military
man and became lieutenant of forces
Of the Plymouth colony.
There were Rogers settlers in the
Virginia colony who will be the sub
ject of a future article.

MY SISTER Gladdis and Harvey
w came around last mite and
started to tawk about their new baby,
being a gerl baby without any ferst
name yet but probably not knowing
the difference, Gladdis saying, My
latest ideer is to give her a name that
will act as an incentive and an in
Spiration all through her life, for IN
stance Diana after Diana the CRATE
huntress of mythology. According to
the modern science of names, child

venturous and blaze new paths in

That's a splendid ideer, ma said.
For the same reason Constance would

There you are, deer, there's your

It's Fate, pop said. Little Maud,

I've been giving some thawt to the

Spending
BY ANGELO PATRI.

WHATS that you are cutting up,
MarieP"
my old party dress. Mary wanted
a dust rag"
my goodness. That dress wasn't
half worn"
What good was it? Out Of style,
and 1 never did like the color, and
anyway, what's the use in boarding
every old thing about the place? Get
rid of them and get new ones. I say"
Fine. And where the money is to
come from Is none of your business.
1t does seem to me that at your age
you might have little sense about
money and saving and getting the
most out of what you have. Well, I
suppose it is my fault for allowing you
to have things as you want them.
Hereafter"
Young people are not inclined to be
saving of anything. They are spend
ers always We cannot expect them
to be otherwise for they can have no
experience of the need of conserving
anything. But and this Is as much
our duty as any of the other duties
of child training, we ought to teach
them by example and precept that
waste is stupid
Not long ago I listened to couple
of young people in their late teens
talking about some of their doingS,
and I was provoked by the stupidity
of their attitudes. Said the boy: I'VE
went to the big hotel and, of course,
we had to pay cover charge; they
wouldn't pick up anything smaller
than a five"
Well" said the young lady, "lf
you want to be swell you have to act
swell. That's what 1 always say. You
can always tell tightwad. See these
shoes? I paid plenty for them. I
could get a cheap pair, but it goes
against the grain if have to go to
cheap place. OF course, you have
to pay for the service, and the name,
but why not?"
Why not. indeed, when somebody
else pays the bills? This was not a
pre-depreSsion talk. 1t would have
been stupid enough then. 1t was
just the other day when money was
scarcer than hens teeth and fathers
tom of the barrel for enough to go
around the family. These children
probably didn't 60 to such places or
buy such clothes once in blue moon.
But the attitude was to go and to
splurge and to spend carelessly.
Just why young people should think
it honorable to have walters bowling
and pulling out chairs and saying
Sir" and "Madam"-just why they
think it bright to buy extravagant
things and bask il the smiles and
batteries of the shop people who in
their hearts deSpiSe such doingS, Is
beyond me. But it is done and done
by apparently intelligent young peo-
pie. And they set the example to
others who can even less afford such
waste.
Young people of this day ought to
have enough understanding to set
about taking care of all they have, to
make it go as far as possible, to spend
carefully and wisely. This does not
mean they are to go without to lay
money away. 1t does mean that they |
tighten the burdens of the fathers by
reducing their needs to the simplest
scheme. That instead of boasting !
how little they care about money they |
set to work to earn some, to con-
serve their parents funds. 1t isn't |
smart to be a waSter. Most Of US
consider it downright stupid and |
worse. |

Regular Care Of the Skin
BY LOIS LEEDS.

CLEAN skin has the power to
" disinfect itself. Germs are
~ destroyed by an invisible
\ natural process. Apparently
nature never meant us to eat
q peck of dirt before we die. Ac-
cording to discoveries Of DR.. L. Arnold
and his associates of the University
of Illinois Medical School, the skin
has the power of disinfecting itself
with astonishing rapidity. AS re-
suit of scientific experiments, they
concluded that the dirt which is all
about us was never meant by nature
to reach the interior of our bodies.
The outer layers of the skin, DR..
Arnold says, have germicidal power
If we get the germs on our hands,
for instance, nature Immediately be-
gins an INVISIBLE cleansing process to
kill them all off, and the cleaner the
skin is the more quickly it can do its
work
The experiments showed that a
clean hand which had been sub
merged in suspension Of bacteria
disinfected itself completely in five
minutes, while a dirty hand treated
in the same way still retained 96 per
cent of the bacteria at the end of the
10-minute period.
When a layer of fat or vaseline
was put over the skin the process of
-disinfection was slowed up on
both the clean and dirty skin. The
disinfection went on-but it took the
Skip much 10pper time to rid itself
of dangerous impurities.
The obvious solution is soap and
warm water. Wash hands and bodies
thoroughly and often. Then. if bac-
terra settle on the skin, they will not

"nEAR Mrs. Post: I have never
seen anything you may have
written on a bridge tea party. When
is tea served? Before the game or
during it, or afterward? I would ape
preciate an outline Of how to proceed
with arrangements. for. such party,
which Is intended TO attract bridge
enthusiasts to the cause Of charity"
Answer-If it is given to raise money
for charity, you charge so much for
table. A person either buys table
and invites three friends, or four
friends together buy table. At the
end of about an hour and a half or
two hours afternoon tea is served
on the dining room table. Tea" as
always, includes tea, hot or cold, or
chocolate, perhaps, sandwiches, or
any other variety Of bread or rolls
and cakes.
Dear Mrs. Post: AS a guest at a
dinner in honor Of the niece Of the
hostess, sent both the aunt and
her niece, who is an intimate friend
of mine, flowers to wear. Neither one
of them wore these, however, and
my friend later told me they loved
them, but felt as though other guests
would feel sighted. thinking they had
bought them for themselves. Would
you have thought this had you been
at the party?"
Answer-It would not have occurred
to me to wonder where they got the
flowers any more than it would have
occurred to me to wonder where they
got any other ornaments they might
be wearing. I think they were ex-
tremely unappreciative Of your kind
ness. II the flowers were too many
to wear. they should have worn at
least few.

4 n white oak is handsome lad,

low that warns the cookies OF your

swamp on a rainy day.
AS the tree grows in stature, 1t
has the added. responsibility of de-
veloping many seed children. The
youthful bark becomes thick and it is
a grayish-brown in color, deeply fur
rowed and scaly on the ridges. The
young stems are smooth and grayish-
brown, and they soon begin to develop
scales. The bark pulls of In dark,
rough scales, which drop to the
ground.
Look for these trees along the
stream edges, near swamps, and in
rich soil from Maine to Michigan
and south to Arkansas and Georgia.
Everywhere you see them, they are
steadfastly true to family tradition.
What is prettier than a swamp white
