 He couldn't bear doubting Ann. Did you go to Sarah's," he asked as she sat down near him.
 "No."
 Peter knew that he might con- tinue this catechism indefinitely, and the answer would be the same. He felt cheapened by ques- tioning Ann at all. She probably thought he had no right to ask her where she had been. And probably he hadn't.
 "How is the plan, to increase wages at the factory working out ?" Ann asked then.
 Tt hasn't worked out yet. But it's going to-" Peter answered. Ann, I want grandfather to take the men into the business on q profit-sharing system with an in- crease in profits based on length of service. When a man gives all his time and effort to a job he's en- titled to be building some security for himself and family, isn't he? And to participate in some of the benefits he's earned"
 "Of course," Ann agreed. "Are you talking socialism, Peter?"
 I'm talking common sense and common humanity. hope l can make grandfather see it.
 What does he say?"
 "He calls me a radical. Says I'm as bad as Eric. He says college did nothing for me but give me a muddled philosophy and he's afraid to leave me his money for fear I'll give it all away"
 Peter grinned.

FIGURES CANNOT LIE

% The other evening 1 dropped into the club on the chance of getting a game of bridge. Some tables were already made up, but found MT Johnson there, talking to Judge Henry. While we waited for a fourth we discussed the present economic situation and its effects on people in general.
 think it was the judge who brought up the question of health. Anyway, one of them asked me if it were true that the depression had meant more sickness than us- ual. had to admit that couldn't give a definite answer, because there was so little authentic infor- nation on the subject. I did say, however, that there were two good reasons for thinking that the na- tion's health as a whole had not suffered. MT Johnson wanted to know what they were, so told them that both the infant mortal ity rates and the death rates from tuberculosis for 1888 were lower than in any previous year.
 Judge Henry pricked up his ears at this. You have actual figures for those, Doctor" he asked. Yes" I replied, "every state m the Union now sends in its infan: mortality rate every year, and the tuberculosis figures are equally fully and carefully compiled" That may be-" broke in MT Johh- son, "but does it have any bearing on the national health in gener- al?" ct does indeed" assured him. "I was going to call it d straw, showing which way the wind blows, but it's more than that. Most physicians and health officers agree that the infant mortality rates provide an accurate and seE- sitive measure of national health."
 That's very interesting, Doc tor" said the judge, hut how do you account for 1t? mean, so many peoples incomes have been cut down-even to the vanishing point-that it seems incredible we should be in better health than before." "I don't say that every individual is healthier" l ex- plained, because that's obviously untrue.

DO SOMETHING, YOU
 NERVOUS ONE

The fear-rage- fight flight -offen- sive-defensive emotion is primitive instinctivep and common to ant mals, savages and civilized men. It's physiological effect is an im-. mediate increase in the secretion of adrenin from the adrenal glands into the blood. This adrenin lib- crates glycogen (animal starch. blood sugar) from the liver and the muscles, where glycogen is stored, into the blood. Glycogen is fuel, for quick conversion into energy. The adrenin promotes OK idation or combustion or this fuel.
 Now if there is insufficient ac- tivity to use this suddenly aug mented output of .energy-well, the effect on the body is compar- able to the effect of racing your automobile engine or throwing the belt off from the flywheel Of Il powerful machine.
 It is well recognized now that fear, anxiety, worry, fright--all the same emotions essentially, and envy, jealousy, anger, resentment, contempt-these, too, are just dlf- ferent degrees of the same emotion -is: a common cause of diabetes, glycosuria-sugar in excess ex-, creted in the urine.
 A. wild animal either struggles to escape whatever frightens it. or attacks and fights whatever en- rages it. That's the natural way to feact to emotion.
 Primitive man did so, still does if in a savage state. But the more cultured" or educated and refined man becomes the more he strives to conceal, repress or avoid what he deems a confession of weak ness, that is, the impulse to do something. He endeavors to keep calm, nonchalant even under eff cumstances that strongly call for fight or flight. And so nervous ness increases in direct propor- tion with culture and education. The nervous excitability of Amert- cans-if Americans are more "ner- vous',. than, other people-is a sad reflection .on. the education and culture we have. 5 SN :
 No matter, how strong 8 man may be, it is against nature Tor him to remain calm and unrunled in tense situations. No norman man can remain imperturbed when the belt is off the fiywheel.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Fannie Acid for Burns

In reply to numerous core spondents who have inquired about the tannic acid treatment for burns, which, if you believe the warns in the magazines, was dis covered, by a doctor in a hospital recently. The doctor "discovered' it in one or another medical jour nal, for it has been in use in this country for years and reports have appeared in various American medical publications. Had an ar ticle about, it in this column Nov 29. 1933-"Tan for Burns"-in which we outlined the method as employed by .Dr Donald B. Wells of Hartford, Conn. Pittsburgh Medical Review, way back in 1890 gave this treatment for extensive burns:
 "A 5 per cent solution of tan
 mic acid in water is squeezed | from a sponge over the denuded
 (raw) surface. which is then
 dressed with soft ointment (say
 plain sterile petrolatum). Pain ! immediately abates, and the heahn gprocess IS wonderfully
 rapid. Of course the tanrin sol-
 .utionF must be freshly applied as
 often as the dressing is re- newed." (Do not disturb or re-
 new dressing as long as there is
 no particular reason to do, so.
 Any burn or wound, once clean
 and in condition to heal, is best let alone for days or weekso. -

BEGIN HERE TO-DAY

ANN HOLIISTER, pretty and 20, breaks her engagement Co TONY MiCkLE, commercial art list, because Of his drinking and general irresponsibility. The same day PETER KENDALL, wealthy and prominent. learns how VA LERIA BENNETT, his fiancee, has sleteived him and tells her every thing is over between them.
 Ann and Peter, both heart-siCk and dlsilIusiOned, meet in res taurant. When Peter asks Ann to marry him she agrees.
 They gO to Florida and spend several weeks happily. Then Peter is called home because of business All of the Kendall family except Peters sister, MILLICENT, snub Ann.
 MRS KENDALL suspects her daughter CAROL, is in love with LAWRENCE, the chauffeur, and discharges him. Carol prepares to visit friends in Miami
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XXVIII
 The girl driving the old car cer- tainly looked like Carol Kendall, But Ann told herself that was ri- diculous. Caro was in Miami. Nevertheless the girl did look like Carol. And the man was like like the nice-looking chauffeur who had been discharged by Mrs Kendall
 Suddenly Ann knew she had not been mistaken. The girl was Carol and the man was the former chauffeur. Ann felt little sick at the revelation. She drove careful ly, not too close to the shabby car but keeping it in sight. Presently the car stopped in front of an apartment building and the two occupants got out and went inside. Ann parked her car and followed There was no elevator and when she reached the stairway the cou- pie was not in sight. Ann heard steps above, heard a door open. As she reached the top of the flight light flashed on in one of the rooms and a door closed.
 Ann knocked at the door. The next moment she and Carol stood staring in each others eyes.
 "Annl" Carols eyes flashed an- grily.
 May I come in?'
 Certainly, now that you have found us. Clever work. Ann. Did you hope for mothers favor as q reward?"
 Don't be silly, Carol" Ann said slowly. 'I followed you because l was worried"
 She looked about, a little be- wildered, taking in the exceeding ly modest but attractive quarters, Carols taste and very little money had worked wonders.
 "Oh!" Carol smiled little. "You were worried because you thought l was living in love nest. Well, I am, but it's little different from the usual kind. Meet my husband Lawrence Ames"
 Ann gasped and held out her hand. "Not Lawrence Ames, the football star-?"
 "Yes, indeed. And am I proud!" Carol said.
 'She introduces me as though she were unveiling a statue," the blond young man said. "I can't make her see it's no great honor to be married to somebody who has come a cropper."
 Ann found herself liking the young man immensely. How many times had she seen his name in headlines on the sports pages! There had been one particularly big, black banner line when he was expelled from college and his chances for greater football hon.

.SE YOUR
 CHILDREN

Hepizibah Menuhin, twelve year-Old pianist and sister of that young marvel, Yehudi, mas ter of the violin long before he was ten, has made her musical debut.
 l have been interested. in this little girl for two reasons.
 One was that I heard Yehudi play when he was, twelve. or per- haps less than that. The other was that met an old neighbor of theirs on the ship last winter and knew from her that there, was a little sister coming along, who might possibly become as famous as her brother. t
 But word of the boy first. He isn't little boy now, but a big one we'll into his teens. At least he is out of the prodigy class.
 That night-will ever forget it? There he stood in the huge concert hall packed to the wall with an audience that could not have been arrayed more gor- geously for the first night of opera. He came out on the stage in his blue suit and Eaton collar. Self possessed and as nonchalant as any boy on his way to school, Handsome but real boy, every inch of him.
 Played Brilliantly
 He played brilliantly for two long grueling hours the classics that Kreisler or Heifitz, Elman or Zimbalist might have selected. And as far as my uninitiated ear could detect, comparable to all. The audience nearly burst the doors in their astonishment and joy. They liked not only his re- marka ble performance but the nice boy himself.
 His manner meant something to me. His playing was only part of it. How had his parents managed work of practicing (for he was even then a finished artist), and later the enormous adulation of an excited world? So, when l met this neighbor from California, I was naturally more than interested. It was then I learned about Hepzibah. I said the natural thing. II never believed before that genius spread itself in layers through a family but rather that dripped from heaven here and there, and like lightning never hits the same family twice. But this must be genius" I added, What else?"
 Parents Deserve, Credit "If you knew them," she an- swerad with vicarious pride, you might call 1t by another name. Or you would put the word where it belongs, on the parents. Maybe they the not geniuses, but they know how to bring out the ability | of their children and still keep them happy and normal and real. :"
 That's the greatest genius of all" I conceded. What are the children like at homer"
 Jolly and happy?" she said "But their parents don't do things the way most of us do. They in sist we waste too much time doing useless things for children, do not direct their efforts early enough, and let them drift"
 This is of course in line with the behaviorists who believe that children can be conditioned early to like certain things and perfect themselves in it. That there is in most children certain aptness that runs like thread through a pattern and can be en- tcouraged and strengthened from very very early years, too be- lieve.
 I still think for an that that genius struck twice in the same family. .... Copyright. 1884, NEA Service, Inc.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris - (U.P) - According to old wheezes, "every dog has his day" and the same idea applies to a newer saying now in vogue that every apron has its aspiration"
 Not only Bridget and Maude. Lucette and Nora wear their aprons in the kitchen and the dining room, but Mesdames la Princess. Marquise and Com tesse are wearing their aprons in the choicest salons in, Paris.
 Apron effects spell smartness on both, dresses and footwear. Sleek black dresses are cut with apron fronts and fringed or corded lea ther aprons cover the foreparts of the newest kidskin shoes.
 Spangled aprons are compile mehted by spangled capes and capeIcts, and embroidery and lace are also used for effects of this type. Now and then the aprons are tied in flat or fluffy bows at the in such way as to need no fast in such way as to ned no fast ening of any sort.

 3.-Dr. Austin Henry Turney of the University of Kansas, divided large group of high school stu dents into the "Achievers" - those whose marks were equal to or above their tests of intelligence and the -Achievers" - those whose work was below what their intelligence teses indicated they should achieve. By techni- cal methods he found that indus- try, perseverance,, cooperative ness, ambition and depcndability- were equal to or greater in their effect on achievement than intel ligence as measured by mental tests. Incidentally he found that rsonal attractiveness had nothing to do with securing either. god marks or bad marks.

Sometimes the poor goof, finding that tobacco or drink fails to give the relief de- sired, takes to using more potent drugs to subdue that insistent in- ner demand to DO SOMETHING.
 Again, too often the individual whose belt is off the f1ywheel, de- ceives himself or herself that a visit to the movies, or attending a ball game or football game or other thrilling spectacle will be the right medicine. Worst still, he tries to find diversion in gay night club or some similar dismal dispensary of fake pleasure.

Women with regular, finely nodded features are the only ones who don't have to worry a great deal about coiffure styles. Others meaning girls with long. short, round or thin faces-simply must arrange their hair so it will help to conceal facial characteristics that aren't particularly attractive.
 If you have 8 round. rather plump face, a sleek, close-to-the head coiffure undoubtedly will be best. You can draw your hair backward, fastening itsat the nape of the neck or, if you like, go in for a Queenly, high -the-back arr rangement. If your ears are nice, by all means show them.
 The girl with thin face should fluff her hair out on the sides in such a way as to make her face look rounder. One with an ex- tremely short profile will discover that showing all or at least half of her ears will make her face seem longer. This, of course, would be wrong for woman with long. narrow face. She must cover her ears and, if possible, fix the sides of her coiffure to give a rounder effect.
 Braids wrapped around the head is g. hair style mode that's being revived right now. How ever, unless you have regular fea- tunes, don't try 1t.
 Remember that healthy, shiny hair is the first requisite of any fiattering hair dress. If you have dandruff, use Q tonic made espe- cially to correct it. Shampoo reg ularly and don't forget about brushing.
 NEXT: Foot health.
