Paris, (UP)-Pleats have be-
come very sophisticated. When a
dress or coat is silent-tha is to
say, when it is not in motion-its
lines are as straight as an arrow,
skirtwards, but the moment its
owner begins to walk, pleats begin
to burst out in the most incon-
ceivable ways and in the most UNI
expected places.
There are some houses that
prefer to conceal their pleats at
the back Of skirt and there
fore design it with a seam down
the back, stitched to within a few
inches of the hem. This makes
the skirt look as though it might
possibly be divided. Others use
the same trick but with the seams
at the sides or fronta Again, pleats
may come out in the open and re-
veal themselves very conspicuous
ly to take the place of trimming.
Here we refer to cartridge pleats,
tuck pleats, looped and gathered

say, and found himself in a small
city whose pleasures were a nor
NAL part Of life. He became sue
cessful in business. File could
never become successful with him
self or be happy.
His reason told him that games
and sports and parties were hon.
orable and legitimate, but his in
hibitions allowed him to place.
His body attended, but his mind
could not, nor his heart. A feel
ing of guilt pervaded his whole
being whenever pleasure beckoned.
He had lost all ability to play.
This is the trouble with inhibi-
tions-they do not always keep
within their province. These po-
licemen over-step their duties and
not only keep order, but prevent
the natural outlet of other mind
rights. The mind has rights,
rights to joy and pleasure, and

Unhappiness results.
Technically the definition of an
inhibition is Substituting one i'm
pulse for another" Morally it
means ! conscience keeping us
straight"
But what conscience is, is q
matter for discussion. The can
nibal eats his enemy or even his
friend with clear conscience, but
he would break every moral tenet
of his tribe and of himself If he
dropped his little wooden fetish
| in his SOUP, and Il might even
drive him to suicide.
Factor of Sclf-C Control
If sense of right and wrong
can be developed in "a child
| through himself 1t is better than
to leave it all to the decalogue
and the social code.
A parent can overdo the idea of
self-control. There is not SO much
danger today as formerly, how
ever, when our more rigid ances-
tors glorifed In remuneration. Per-
haps we are even swinging to the
other extreme. But 1t is not wise
to accent guilt" sense when there
Is no need.
Over developed inhibitions
throttle normal conduct. They
are conscience gone on a rampage
in a way.
There should be nice balance
| of things to do and things not to
do. If there are enough happy
experiences to balance the more
rigid codes child will accept
both. He will be inhibited to a
healthy extent but not fanatical,
or emotionally starved when he ID
grown.

RESEMBLANCE TO BALONEY.
A medical man sends in q hand
some brochure about a salve that
seems to enjoy considerable popu-
larity with physicians of the Gre
dulous class-and we have a lot
of 'em in practice-for the inside
pages are replete with testimonial
letters which purport to have been
written by physicians, though for
some curious reason the docs pre-
fer to remain anonymous. Won
der what they were ashamed of?
The brochure contains some fine
illustrations. One shows just about
the prettiest nurse you could find
in seven counties, or at least a
young lady with nifty waitress
cap and everything, in the act of
applying some of the salve to a
patient whose pulchritude' positive
ly distracts the eye from the nurse.
And as though that were not
enough to remove the last doubt
of the prospective customer, there
is q second scene in which the
nurse plays the Lady with the
Lamp. In this scene she holds a

The legend under Scene II reads
Driving the (Nostrum) in With
Heat" Altogether it makes hot
stuff.
The friend who sent me the item
for my collection marked one pas
sage printed in italics, which the
nostrum makers have probably
found effective in disposing of any
little skepticism the gullible physi-
clan might have:
"It has been assumed by some
that the absorptive power of the
skin is comparatively small own
ing to the protection of the horny
covering of the epidermis. 1t will
be seen, however, upon examina-
ton Of the illustrations, that the
epilermis has abundant OPEN
ings in the sebaceous glands
and hair follicles, through which
drugs in suitable form may be
readily absorbed"
To any one with even an elemen-
tary knowledge of anatomy and
physiology it is as absurd as would
be the argument that since there
is an opening through which sound
air, light and liquids may enter the
ear, a person may talk through
his ears with a little ENCOURAGE
ment by the right nurse.
One doctor was SO delighted

4 comes to an end eventually, and
when the doc had no more free
salve he bethought him of old
trick whereby 1t is possible to get
another half Lushel sample cans
out of the average nostrum firm.
He sat down and wrote note Of
praise for the stuff, putting just a
suggestion in his testimonial that
he would like to experiment furth-

doctor says he had not taken any

The National Administration de-
serves much credit for creating
such beneficial project.
When newspaper announced that
the New Jersey State department
of Public Instruction would care
for poor children's teeth through
the Civil Works administration,
New Jersey educators were enthus-
iastic. Colonel Bigley, state direc-
tor of the c. w. A. stated that
their project was the most popu-
lar c. w. S. project.
Throughout the depression it
was apparent to all public health
workers that, with the decline in
the average family income and a
corresponding decrease of commu-
nifty health service budgets, great
number. of children were being de-
prived of dental treatment
Ten yearS ago such neglect of
teeth would have not caused much
concern. But with the present
day knowledge Of the dangers of
neglecting children's m u h s,
school physicians, and school Off
Gals. in fact all persons interested
in the health of children, were wor-
ried over the difficulty of caring
for the dental needs of the boys
and girls.
Preventing Dental Troubles
An examination of school health
education programs will convince
anyone OF the attitude of compe-
tent educators on the subject of
dental health. School children are
taught principles of proper food
selection, to obtain their quart OF
milk each day, to eat fruits and
vegetables, to eat coarse foods that
require chewing, to keep mouths
clean and to visit the dentist so as
to prevent dental diseases.
May their efforts continue!
