 Cotton velvcts Favored
 The cotton velvets Y plain or heavy ribbed - in which some of my most successful models have ben made have the advantage of serving two purposes. Their fur trimming and an appropriate blouse make them sufficiently -dressy for afternoon engagements or even a cocktail party.
 Fur-bordered capes alternate with jackets as a complement to the first formal autmnal ensem- bles. The former strike a newer note and are perhaps, more ele- gant.
 Blouses have resumed their place as an important adjunct. For informal wear. lightweight jersies and wool zephyrs are new. espe- cially in delicate pastel shades. They should always be extremely discreet, however, as they need to blend with the ensemble. Wool lace is a novelty which I have used quite extensively and pro- vides very satisfactory blouses or trimmings, besides being very subtle when absolutely matching the rest of the ensemble.
 For active sportswear, nothing can be smarter than some of the new designs in checks and plaids, but they can never be applied to town clothes. even those of in formal character.

 Now. at the beginning of the school year, there is a wonderLui oppCrtunity for parents. especially you, dad, to get out the dictionary.
 After all, however, a real dic- tionary is not needed. You can call upon your own knowledge of words to explain meanings to chli- dren.
 Thomas rattles off his geography. 'eThe occupations of the people are numbering, grazing and com- merce."
 Believe it or not, but I was as big as I am now Lefore knew just what grazing" meant. Yet my father was known for his knowledge of words and it was nothing for him to read two books in a day. Like most fathers he thought we children had some magic way of knowing everything. And the teachers, guess, did too.
 Explorer Was Mostly Lost.
 Numbering" was clearer, but "commerce''- It was something that came and went in ships, but I used to wonder what commerce looked like. Occupation" did not mean earning daily bread. I had visions of people trying to put in time some way. When we studied the Carolinas. we learned that 'tar pitch and turpentine" were the "chief products" What were "products" We didn't know or care, but it helped to pass exam the right place.
 Such words as .texplorers" were not explained. Cartier and Magel- Ian and the Cabots were "explor- ers," but that was all right. It just meant that they didn't know where they were going but were o ntheir way. No picture of grim determination or plan or any why's or wherefore's. These men were pure myths. I had no idea that an explorer vas anything but some- thing to make history harder. Bird Can Mouth Words. Not long ago I heard ''myna" bird at the Zoo in Washington ask in deep basso vol e, How about the Administration? It was all he knew. Some master had taught him.
 It occurred to me at the moment that when we kids studied "the Presidents" not half of us even knew what an administration was. It was just an administration. We either were "in" them or "over' them. That was enough. From Grade One to Senior High. children needed to have the kinks untangled and explained and the meaning of words that will con- tinue to be x, y, equalitions or chemical symbols unless the hulls are removed.

least one case they frankly avow- ed that after painstaking autopsy they were unable to determine what had caused death.
 Every time I have mentioned dinitrophenol I have duly warned readers that the medicine is safe- ly used only under the direction of ones physician. If any d.f. chooses to monkey with it on his own responsibility. that's his funeral and I have no further con- cern or advice for him..
 But this is by way of notice to all overweight persons that I am off dinitrophenol now.
 I was teetering on the edge any, way. It required just a slight push to over- balance me. The push came in the form of a letter from a cigarette girl in a den of--a night club. She is 17 years old and works sometimes as late as or z in the morning, and her friends all urge her to get into something else, as the place is poorly ventilated. She read about dinitrophenol in my column, and although she understood every other doctor warns against 1t she bought some at the uTuS SlOTS. had stated it was very cheap. but the druggist charged her S1.25 for a weeks supply, which would make it cost over $5 month . |.
 So I'm off dinitrophenol. Dini- trophenol is cheap. and by publish ing this warning against it I hope I may prevent many readers from being similarly gouged.
 Anyway, since I tried the drug myself and told here of its effi- cient action I have found a much better means of accomplishing the same object. Indeed, I reduced six pounds in three weeks with dini- trophenol. at the expense of con- siderable puffing and sweating and feverishness; but later I reduced 16 pounds in four weeks by the new method, without any dis comfort and with actual increase in resiliency and general well be- ing. So why shouldn't be off dinitrophenol? No drugs or glan- dular products are used in the new method. It is physiological. So

 He has a picturesque manner in speaking to audiences getting his point across by means of illustra- tive analogfes. His answer to the question, "Why did nature give us teeth of four types?" is particular ly interesting.
 Suppose we want corn bread for dinner. The first step is pass ing the ear through the corn she'll CT to separate the grain from the cob, the grains are then carried to the mill. There two circular stones q movable and one fixed) grooved carefully and kept sharp. grind the grain into fine meal. The meal is fixed with soda shortening and buttermilk and the corn pone put in the oven and cooked.
 "Now compare this process with the process we go through in get ting food ready for digestion. The front teeth tear the food (sep- arate the grain from the cob). If 1t is too tough the eye teeth fin- ish the job. Then the bicuspids and molars Ohe back teeth) grnid the food as the mill stones grind the corn grain.
 Bad Grinders
 "If the mill stones become pitted or cracked the mixture will contain cracked corn and whole grain s producing an indigestible corn meal. So it is with food. If your molars and bicuspids become de. cayed or lost it is unlikely that the food will be properly chewed.
 If people would take as good care of their teeth as the miller takes of his mill stones. can guar antee that fewer teeth would be lost"

 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 The Nerve Feeding Racket
 What does pr --'s restorative contain? Is 1t habit-forming? (Mrs c. E.)
 Answer-Federal agents seized a consignment and analysis showed it was essentially a bromide con- coction. Federal authorities fined the manufacturer and also some of his associates. The nostrum was declared falsely and fraudulently labeled. But, as Barnum never said, there is sucker born every second, and so the nerve feeding racket can afford to pay such pif- fing fines for bamboozing the cred ulous Yankee public.
 Cold Beverage
 Anything harmful in cocacola? only use about four or five bottles a week. (E. N. P.)
 Answer-No. it is equivalent to taking as much tea or perhaps half as much coffee with cream and sugar added.

 "French women," says a fash ion and beauty authority who has just returned from Paris, "are us- ing a minimum of makeup this fall. Outstanding continental beauties and girls who are noted for their meticulous grooming are trying to look as natural as possi- ble."
 She advises American women to use only enough rouge to give the cheeks a healthy glow. The proper place for it, as we all know, is exactly where your own high color shows after you've been exercising. Don't use rouge to make your cheeks more vivid than they are after you have done setting-up exercises for fifteen minutes.
 Lipstick, one of the most neces- sary of all cosmetics, should be applied from corner of the mouth. Leaving the corners as they are and putting little dabs of lipstick right in the center of both lips is all wrong this year. Try to make your mouth look full and healthy
 Use mascara and eyeshadow sparingly on the street. Eyeshad. ow should be put only on the up- per lid. Don't blend it outward beyond the corners of the eyes.
 Powder must match the skin Smart girls simply don't so in for those grotesque ochre. green and lavender effects this fall. Get a powder that's suited to your type of skin. There are grand ones with adherent qualities for dry compicxions and many light. rath- CT fiuffy varieties for skins that are oily.

WATERPROOF CELLAR

Cellare are damp and musty pri- marily because materials used for their wall construction-stone ce- ment and brick-are all more or less porous and absorptive. Damp proofing can be done inexpensively by applying sheet copper or other materials to the walls and floor of the cellar by means of asphalt or pitch. The house is thus made more healthful and it's value in- crea sed

ADD CLOSET SPACE

Nobody ever heard of a house that had too many closets. On tho contrary, most home owners are painfully conscious of the inad- equacy oqf their supply. But prac- tically every home has some waste space that could be converted into closets. The space under stair way is possibility, for instance. Closet space can also be gained by building cabinets in any room.

Department Worried

The Department of Agriculture, or
course, is primarily worried about the
prices paid the farmers for their milk.
The detail of what the consumers are
charged comes In from another angle.
Actually, there Is plenty Of pressure to
cut down the profits Of the distribu
tors. All distributors, not just the
companies that deliver by wagons over
regular routes. but chain stores and
everything else.
1t was particularly disconcerting to
this group, who are anxious to limit
profits to have the chain stores at
lacking them for forcing too large
profits on them against their VIII. 1t
Is the more annoying because the
proun 50 interested In limiting profits
headed by Prof, Rexford g. Tug
Wells not particularly friendly to
chain stores anyhow.
Most of the radical leaders have
been camoring against chain stores.
They are largely responsible for the
special taxes imposed on chain stores
by some states. The same sort of
member of the house who Is clamorlng
against profits Is also generally found
anxious to legislate against the chain
| stores.
So the idea OF the chain stores set
| ting themselves up as defending the
poor, and being anxious TO sell milk
for undernourished children at prices
below those fixed by the government,
Il rather flabbergasting. Especially as
the letters protesting about the gov
4 eminent attitude come from al parts
of the country, indicating growing
public sentiment which may easily
work out to protect the chain stores
from further hostile legislation.

Kick on Milk Prices

Kicks aplenty from most OF the Dig
cities are pouring in on members OF
the house with respect to milk prices.
The chain stores apparently have done
a pretty good propaganda job convinc-
ing their customers that they would
be delighted to sell milk and cream
cheaper than the codes permit II the
government would let them.
The householder buying quart OF
milk at the chain store Is told that the
store would be glad to supply him
more cheapIy. by two to three cents
bottle, If it were not for Department
OF Agriculture control. They convince
the customer that when he calls for
his milk, and carries 1t home, paying
cash, he has earned this differeAtlal
and is entitled to 1t, as compared with
the expense Of the milk dealer who de-
liyers by wagon, and has to take a
certain amount of bad bill losses.
In Boston the chain stores have put
| Ii directly up to f. S. Schneider, who
| represents the AAA In the milk adj
| ministration plan. Schneider has not
allowed their claims. The chain store
| people insist that the regular milk de-
| llverlng companies are trying to force
/ them out OF the milk business. Much
more effectuaily. they charge that the
milk delivery companies are forcing
1 the poor families OF the city to pay
/ more for milk than they should. When
they 20 on and begin to talk about
children being deprived OF the milk
they need for their growth and health
because of these arbitrarily raised
priees-and arbitrarily raised by the
government at that-they become real
ly eloquent.

Washington.-Th tremendous vote
In the house by which the first step
of the Presidents economy program |
that with reference TO continuing the
Is per cent cut of federal employees
salaries until June 30-was sustained,
indicates the ease with which the
President will be able to get most OF
what he wants from the present SEES
sion of congress.
This complete acquiescence In his
wishes does not go for special things.
such as the St Lawrence seaway.
That would require an affirmative vote,
and It would require two-third ma
jority. On top of that the test would
come in the Senate.
To appraise the Importance OF the
2G1 to 112 vote In the house II
must be remembered that just one
third of either house, plus one Is
enough TO stop anything from going
through. So the President would need
only one-thrd plus one in either house
or senate to stop something he did not
want-a curtailment Of powers, for
example.
But to appreciate the full signif-
icance or that vote Ii must be remem-
bered Just what Ii was about. There
was not one member. probably, In that
261 who was not voting against pay
increase for his own loyal political
| lieutenants whom he had gotten on
the federal payroll through his In
/ fuenee
AS matter Of fact not since the
days Of Andrew Jackson, when the
| phrase ito the victors belong the
spoilsn originated. has there been such
an army OF persons attached No the
| federal payroll through political influ-
| ence as since March last. The fact
that the administration was rather
slow In filling places sout In the coun-
Itry, such as collectors of internal rev.
enne. district attorneys. etc..= tells only
half the story. The other half Is what
| has been done In recruiting Oil the
new commissions. boards, authorities
councils and administrations set UP
under the New Deal.
Very few persons indeed have got
ten iobs In those new avenues of fed
