1. Emphatically, yes. Dr Clai- rette F. Armstrong, psychologist, in her book, Why Boys Desert Their Homes," gives an appalling picture of neglect, misunder- standing and often brutal treat ment both mental and physical by parents and secondarily of the profound failure in such cases of the school system. She says: ''So- ciety seems to conspire to protect parents. Why not parents be held responsible in court for their failure, not the boy?"
 2. Yes, this is probably true. al- though it is also probably due not to any inborn tendency but to the fact that men are brought up more than women to deal with practical things. On the farm the mans life is dealing with hogs, horses. corn, trading. prices. stc, the womans' life is dealing with the children, getting dinners for neighbor visitors. gossiping with

GIVING MRS JOHNSON \
 VACATION

Mrs Johnson looks ten years younger than she did when we left home. It isn't only the sun tan, though she is as brown as any of us. But her eyes are brighter, she smiles more readily and her step, as she goes about the hotel or gar dens, is as light as Mary's. She's | iull of energy, too. Only the other day, when We were on the beach watching the youngsters dive, Mrs Johnson suddenly remarked, u should like to learn to dive as well as Mary does.' Well, why don't you begin?" suggested Mir John- son. "I believe 1 will," promptly returned Mrs Johnson; "How about it, Doctor" she added, turn ing to me. We'll" 1 replied, 'the swimming instructor here knows his job, and having examined you myself 1 know you're in good physical condition-so go ahead" Mrs Johnson clapped her hands like Q schoolgirl, and off she went to find the instructor. Every day since then she has been practising. She's making good progress, too, much to the open amusement and secret pride of her children. They tease her unmercifully, of course, but that's just their way of ac- cepting her as "onc of the bunch,' as Mary puts 1t.
 Part of Mrs Johnson's rejuvena- tion is due to the change of air and surroundings. But much of 1t Is due to the fact that she is freed from her usual work and re- responsibilities. When we were plan- ming the vacation her chief stipula- ton was, No dishes to wash!" but her freedom here includes more than that. No meals to plan or cook, no beds to make, no rooms to sweep or dust, no weekly laun- dry, no feeling that she must be around" ip case she is needed, ,-all oi these things have helped to take the tired lines out of her face. Not that Mrs Johnson neglects her family up' here. No mother with baby two years old could do that. But she merely declines l to be tied down all day long and every day to the care of two veal | old John and five year old Robert. I was both amused and pleased al the way in which she solved this phi tiNuAb lC ddy dlttl we arrived she called family council and suggested to the rest of the family that she, Mir John soh. Bill and Mary should take turns in being mother" 10 the two little ones. They saw the fairness of the suggestion and agreed that the four of them should give up one day each, in rotation, to being responsible for Robert and John. The giving up" is not a very serious matter, for both Robert and John spend the whole day playing on the beach with their little friends and all that is necessary is to keep an eye on them while they play and to supervise their meals and after noon nap. But thanks to this arr rangemcnt the other members of the family can go off fishing or hiking or doing anything else the please.

PURE SILK COMING INTO

 At the Mallinson Prevue of pure silks in new weaves the deep, rich colorings, unsurpassed draping qualities and exquisite textures- women just naturally love to feel and wearo them - demonstrated anew that silk has no peer in pres tige and inherent beauty-and we might add service.

 You told a man suffering with indigestion ont to eat raw eggs. Was that because theya re not good for you raw, or because of the indigestion? My husband likes raw eggs mixed in a glass of milk for breakfast .. . (Mrs E. J. CD Answer-The white of egg Is only party digested when the egg is taken raw, but is completely d. gested if the egg Is taken cooked. No reason why q healthy person should take eggs raw if he prefers them that way.

How Smoking Spells the Legs

How Smoking Spells the Legs
 The patient, born in America of Jewish parents, was 33 years old, and had been a heavy smoker all his life, or since boyhood. He smoked about 50 cigarettes a day.
 He complained of extreme pain caused by foul necrotic ulcer of the left great toe. Periarterial sympathectomy had already been done by surgeon, without ben eft. The patient had received morphine in large quantities, with out avail.
 There was still some feeble cir culation in the foot. The patient was advised to give up smoking at once and absolutely. He was giv- en salt solution injections into the vein. He was put to bed and kept there. Wet antiseptic dress ings were kept on the ulcer. Spon- taneous amputation of the gangren- ous toe occurred, and after thir- teen months the foot was entirely healed. Surreptitious smoking probably accounted for the unusual duration of healing time.
 In reporting this case the physi- | clan reports dozen similar cases of thrombo-angitis bliterans, near ly all in young Russian Jews who smoked excessively. Many of them lost q foot or part of the foot from gangrene and amputation One was of Scotch descent. He had gangrenous ulcer near tn. end of the right great toe. He had adhered rigidly to "salt-frce' diet and lost considerable weight. He began to gain in weight and strength when this diet was dlscon- l tinued.
 I am expecting before long the first crop of one-legged women The wishy- -washy ones haven't been sophisticated quite long enough yet. It takes about 20 years to get throm bo -angitis obli- terans and gangrene.
 First there Is redness and pain in the limb for many months be- fore any sign of gangrene appears | Betetr rest a bit rather than light a stinky whenever you fec weary, Jagged or bored. It. easier on the legs.
 | There is no reason that 1 know of, why cigaretets are any more injurious to health than cigar ol pipe smoking or chewing tobaccC or using snuff. Only I believe children are more likely to ust cigarettes, and any one of veal character is more likely to go to ex cess with cigarette smoking. Then too, if we are to judge from th' propaganda, the intelligence of cig' arctic smokers as class must bt pretty feeble. Certainly they arc asked to accept some preposterous notions.
 It was astonishing to find 6 Scotchman threatened with the los. of leg from excessive cigarette smoking. It would seem that he should have preferred pipe. FoI

"We never" said Miss Smith. 'teach anything without first arousing the interest of the child. I shudder when I think of how used to sit hour after hour doing tables. Tables, tables, tables. Up- side down, backwards, forwards and mixed. Sums we used to call them"
 Just so," nodded MT Cooper. Sums they were. We all hated them, didn't we?"
 Hate them? Why I can't look a number in the face. But of course you have had to. It's your busi- ness, isn't it-office manager of q big store. But I suppose you don't actually have to do the number work yourself. mean," hastily, 'the bookkeeping"
 Hunting Mistakes
 Not now so much. But of course I had to for years. And before that when I was in the bank I worked with figures all day. Couldn't risk a mistake, either. A mistake of two cents kept us all there overtime till we found the error. I've stayed as high as five hours overtime to run down a nickel. A cent an hour. That's the way it's done."
 Mercy. It seems like slavery. All that for five cents. Ridicu- lous."
 Well, it's good discipline. The mistake could be in the thousand dollar column just as easily. And some one might stay ten years for that kind of a mistake"
 Anyway, we can't let the chil- dren smother their dignities in ta- bles an dsums. Figures are so ab- stract. They don't express any thing" explained Miss Smith.
 The Store Method
 How do you go about it. ma'em?" asked old fashioned MT Cooper.
 "We make everything concrete. We keep store. Billy comes to the store six times and each time he buys an dpple for five cents. Then he counts up the money in the box. Six-fives are thirty. He knows, too, that fives set under each other in a column six times aret hirty, also. It teaches both multiplied ton and addition"
 II sec, But will Billy have to close his eyes all his life and think of stores and apples and pennies in cube root. or finding the great when he's doing say, a problem est common divisor, say, of the national debt?"
 You wouldn't understand, of course" smiled Miss Smith com passionately. "The old point of view cannot grow new eyes. Our work is far too psychological to grasp with the old lack of vision."
 "Mebbe." said MT Cooper, pull. ing thoughtfully on his pipe. But ten years from now I hope ledgers will have nice little birds on the margins. and motto at the top. If at first you don't succeed"
 But Miss Smith was hunting the keys for her car. What was the use of talking to an old foggy like that?

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris-Brains have been explod- ing at such a rate lately that there Is no keeping up with the latest geegaw and gadget that has come out of the fashionable debris now being dumped upon the market.
 Looking at things casually and as impersonally as is reasonably possible, we cannot deny with straight face that we aren't in some sort of a second childhood. This touch of the infant combined with the sophistication and sirenic charm of the long, slashed, slinky skirts Is odd. Marcel Rochas, not to be out done by Schiaparelli and her horses head buttons that arebrad- ed, not sewed on, or Dilkhusha's seashore OHM, has come out with belt buckles and dress ornaments of dolphins, spinx faces, clusters of grapes dramatic and comic masks and half-masks like mosqueraders wear to modern balls. These are made sometimes in metal and some times in a dead white substance which looks like lime but Is sort of placter over metal.
 There is even Medusa with her snake tresses, large and horrifying, placed squarely in the middle of the stomach on black belt so that through her almond-clit eyes. nos- trils and wierd-shaped mouth black stare out from the openings. Bats in silver make buckles and fasten- ings, and wooden arrows are shot through stiff belts of leather. These are queer doings, and unless we miss our guess. next season will find us rushing to a simplicity that may involve nothing cfcaverer than q good dependable sheet and few healthy safetypins.
