If you don't know the merits
Of an antiseptic toilet powder,
lend me your ear, for no woman
should be without one.
First and foremost, and a fact
that cannot be easily ignored,
every girl at times finds it
problem to keep free of odor.
This grows more and more diff
ficult as the weather grows
more torrid, and ordinary de-
odorants are of little use. For
such times to have on hand
safe, effective antlseptic powder
that prevents chatting while it
deodorizeS, is one of the great
est comforts that has come out
of the twentieth century.
You sprinkle it all over your
body, as you would a talcum, on
your undertakings, and especially
wherever there is danger of
chatting. It soothes because it
is sweat-proof, and it is cooling
and refreshing.
There is one such powder that
is superior to most. Girls who
go in for active sports swear
by it. Other girls who perspire
more freely than they should,
find that it checks perspiration
and diminiShes their cleaners

Dear Miss Fairfax:
was invited to the seashore
by my girl friend, whose parents
have a nice cottage there. She
introduced me to a young man
whom I liked very much. The
next week another girl happened
to be her guest, and this young
man didn't even speak to me;
he was so taken up BY this girl.
1 left the next day, and haven't
seen him since. How should
act when I meet him at the
Seashore again? PUZZLED.
Not often do they act this
way from rudeness, and a desire
to be impolite. More often it's
just a case of shyneSs. They're
young. inexperienced, and go
with the first girl who takes
possession of them. I'd be civil
and not show that his queer
conduct hurt me in any way.

PROTEIN DISHES AT SAME NEAL RESULTS IN FALSE ECONOMY
Bowls
.Inhuman, Use
Aouariums
By LIZ HUME

Once, in our schoolroom days,
we listened to a lecture on the
care Of fish.
Fish as household pets in
those days meant goldfish and
it was these charming little
golden creatures our particular
lecturer discussed.
In telling us how to care for
our pets the experts strongly
advised against the use OF
bowls or globes. He explained
how that type of aquarium did
not permit the fish to receive
sufficient air, resulting, newt
ably, in their death.
We were so stirred up by his
talk that for a time we seriously
considered devoting our life to
saving goldfish from bowls.
1t was a joy, therefore, to
note that Mrs. Lucille Quarry
Mann, wife of DR.. Bill Mann Of
the Washington ZOO, in her re-
cent valuable booklet, Tropical
Fish" disapproves Of bowls.
A full review of Mrs. Mann's
book would be impossible in
this column. Space is too short
to do justice to its value to
fanciers of tropical fish. She
goes into her subject thor
oughly and anyone with an
aquarium would do we'll to
read it.
The book is published by the
Leisure League of America.
Of this Mrs. Mann, one of the
busiest young women in Wash
ington, told us:
"When / received the letter
asking me to do the book and
noted the line on the envelope,
The Leisure League, at first /
was disinclined to open it. I
never have any leisure and I
couldn't think that such a
league would have anything to
say of interest to me-"
Fortunately, she opened the
letter and the result is her
book, a gift straight from the
gods for those who have chosen
tropical fish as their pets.
If you have a good picture of
your pet, Liz Hume invites you
to send it in for use in this col
umn. No pictures returned.
1t is also very probable that
some of your experiences would
be of interest and value to other
owners of pets. Address Liz

0oLnY CABWeH
Ham and eggs alone will not
sustain you in perfect health.
Therefore, this particular dish,
used as the main article OF
diet, would prove in the end
to be very costly and lacking
in nutrition. Supplemented
with the other proper food
elements, it is excellent.
Ham and cabbage, or eggs
and tomatoes, would cost you
less, and provide much better
nutritional value for your fam
lily, and, with bread and but
ter, would give you a perfectly
balanced meal.
You are better off with fish
and turnip greens, for instance,
than you are with fish and
eggs, without the greens, be-
cause in the fish and green's
you are getting a greater vari-
ETY. of food substances than
in the two protein dishes.
Make List
To keep your food bill down,
1t is a good thing to make out
a market list at the beginning
of each week, in some such
way as this: Count so much
for such protein foods as meat,
fish and eggs; so much for
milk; so much for vegetables
and fruits; so much for cereals
and breadStuffS, sugar and
fats.
Doing this properly, means
dividing your money in five
parts, and, for a sufficient and
well varied food supply at
minimum cost, you would spend
1t this way:
One-third for milk and cheese.
A fourth or less, for vege-
tables and fruits.
One-seventh for lean meat,
eggs or fish.
About one-Seventh for bread,
flour and cereals.
The rest for fats (including
butter), sugars, coffee, tea, sea-
SoningS, etc.
You will find you want to
space out each kind of food to
make each meal as varied as
possible. On the days when
you have meat, you won't have
baked beans, which are rich in
proteins, for example. Or if
you have an omelet, you won't
need baked beans that day. But
you could use the beans on
meatleSS, egglesS, or fiShless
day.
And if your budget will not
allow you to provide a protein
dish for every day in the week,
let everyone in the family drink
an extra pint of milk that
day-or serve the family milk
soup, as milk is a good protein
food, as we'll as being full of
calcium, vitamins, fats, etc.
Another important point to
remember, when we are talking
Of food values, is that there is
q decided difference in the
nourishment, derived from lean
meat and fat meat. There is
very little protein value in bacon

Hints
Candle Care

Candle Care
When candle light illuminates
the dining table the flame of
the candles should never be at
the level of the eyes of the
seated guests. Rather, use tall
holders and candles so the
flame will be above the eyes,
even when the candles are
burned down.
In this way the light will not
shine in the eyes and will be a
pleasure to everybody. In ex-
tinguishing candles, hold the
flame about eye-level, and blow
upwards to avoid excessive
Smoldering.

WAVE OF FLOODS

Professor Says Sun Spots
Indicate Rainfall Will
Cause Disasters.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 5.-Great
floods throughout the world in 1865
were predicted yesterday by Capt.
Thomas J. See, veteran professor Of
mathematics in the United States
Navy. He based his forecast on the
effect Of huge sun spots.
Rainfall will increase for the next
two years, after which the floods will
occur, said Capt. See. adding that the
sun spots cause the weather variation
by mixing hot and cold air through
lessening the heat Of the earth, there
by permitting the cold currents Of air
to descend.
Capt. See, with IS years. experience
in scientific work, collaborated for
many years with the late Rev. Jerome
S. Ricard of Santa Clara University
in the study of Father Ricards theory
that sun spots cause weather changes.
Droughts Observed.
"Since the decrease Of sun spots be-
gan in 1928" Capt. See declared.
very great droughts have been OBJ
served in nearly all the countries Of
the globe, notably the drought of
1890. in the Mississippi Valley. which
accentuated the evils of the depres-
sion. and that of 1888, which delayed
agricultural recovery.
But now large sun spots have re-
appeared and will increase for the
next four years, yielding vast floods
in 1936-38 and an increasing rainfall
this year and next, after which the
floods will become notable. as during
the Mississippi floods of 1927.
'The sun spots mix hot and cold
air much like the mountains, yet act
in a slightly different way. but cut
ting down the heat of our globe.
thereby letting the cold currents Of
air descend nearer the earth for max
ing more rain That is the whole

This mountain effect Of the sun
spots is fully established by direct
measurement Of solar radiation with
