Now that the nation has observed Child Health
Day, which occurred Tuesday. it might be timely TO
call attention to the fact that this is a subject deserv
ing attention every day in he year.
Children do not become healthy overnight, NEITHER
do they lose their health in a day. Parents in Sheri
dan county should take advantage of every possibility
to learn whether or not their children are developing
as normal children should. Then they can best assist
nature in counteraeting threatened deficiencies in
growing bodies. The Importance of proper food. ade-
quate sleep. cleanliness. and fresh air cannot be over
emphasized
The work of a public school nurse in the county.
made possible the past two weeks by the state and
federal government, should prove invaluable. The
cooperation OF The medical profession in carrying on
the work deserves much appreciation. But the work
should noi end there. Parents have a definite obliga-
ton in guiding their children in forming habits that
will safeguard their bodies and permit them TO de-
veIop strength 10 meet the problems of manhood and
womanhood that are certain to follow.
And. health is not the only thing. An incident has
happened in our city the past week which only EN-
phasizes the pitfalls into which children may drop. and
should serve TO add to the obligation of parents in
discharging their duties as real guardians.
Human nature IN children is no different in Plen-
tywood than anywhere else. Boys and girls are CON
tinually seeking new experiences, new outlets for
their ambitious and curious seeking minds. Let 90,
they are most apt 10 become the victims of the
wrong environment, and eventually follow a series of
costly tragedies and broken hearts. Bur. properly
directed. the youth Of any community can make il
sell useful in the pursuit Of clean and honorable
endeavor. 2 credit to themselves a pride to admiring
parents.

SUICIDE Is INCREASING

more than 5000 suicides are re
ported in the United States every
year" Many cases are recorded a.
deaths, due to accidents or natural
causes. The alarming feature is. that
the rate is increasing year by year
especially since the beginning of the
economic depression.
In some countries suicide is looked
upon as a virtue when 1t Is commit
ed either as a protect against wrongs
or to uphold the honor.
TIT japanese often took his life by
disembowling himself. This was
called Harikari. Members of the
Sahnuri or military class always car
ried two swords. n a long one for
their enemies, and the other a short
one. with which to kill themselves in
defence OF their honor, or to save
themselves from capture.
Many years ago it was very rare
for a negro to take his own life.
They were a religious, hopeful people.
The spirituals which grew out OF the
natural harmony and deep longings
Oh their souls. are revelations OF the
faith and fortitude with which this
race faced adversely. Unlike the
white people they did not brood over
their troubles real or fancied. or
course there were exceptions, but
most OF them took life as it came
to them, and did not worry about the
future.
We need to learn fortitude. pa-
thence and trust in God. What a re-
upon u Boosted civiIixa-
ton that after the stock market
crash In 1929. the number OF suicides
among business men who had lost
money was appalling. We had become
a nation OF money worshipers, plac-
ing the dollar before eternal values.
These men who ended their lives
because Of financial losses, became
caught in the maelstrom OF gloomy
thoughts. They brooded over their
until their minds were so oh
sessed with melancholy thoughts they
could 9 only one door OF escape
and that was to end it all.
OF course these u~nfortunates we're
mentally very sick. They needed help
which they did not seek; and Joined
army of those who were beaten
by fate. Ii there were only sound
minds in sound bodies, suicide would

The Dillinger Chase

The nation should pause and think seriously OF
the situation caused by the police search for the Grim
inal, John DiIIinger.
How is ii that such a desperate could pursue his
career Jf crime without check for SO long except upon
the assumption that citizens and police officers in the
past have not done their duty?
Several tunes DilHnger has been almost captured
but each time he and his associates have boldly fought
their way TO freedom. regardless of the deaths neces-
sary to accomplish this. The criminal element is ap
paren4ly better armed and quicker to will than the rep
resentatives of Law and order, a condition which favors
the ruthlessness OF criminal types such as DiIlinger.
Another interesting phase of the DiIlinger crimes
is the fact that most of the charges he lis under are Of
fences against states. The National Government is only
interested In him because he took a stolen automobile
across = state line AS long as the law officers OF diff
ferent states were hunting him at different times he
could escape from the jurisdiction of one commonwealth
into a more peaceful e~xistance in another state. So
could other criminals.
The recent wave of crime, made dramatic by the
Dllinger case. should be enough to awaken the public
so that warfare on the criminal win be adequately and
efficiently made

better system replaces it 1t viii take
years Of study and research and
mistakes to do as much and as well.
In a quarter OF a century every
single activity of life has gained
completely. New problems have been
created, new challenges have come
into being. Life would not be life
without these things and each in his
little niche has a mission to perform.
Encouragement will eve help TO
achieve life's responsibilities. In this
country encouragement Is a passing
mood. Nobody remains long under
its spell. And in passing what a lot
OF homely comfort there is in this
little bit of verse by a rural school
teacher whose little songs are going
far with their fine inspiration these
days because. perhaps. she sings
them for those of our people she
really loves:
of course, it does seem mighty hard
That folks can't pick and choose.
And most times what We love the
best
Is what we surely lose.
But If you count the things you have
And not the things you miss.
You'll find the world is mostly smiles
And happiness and bliss.
And when you're counting little joys
Try looking at the sky
You'll find the clouds aren't there
to stay,
But merely drifting by.
And if the trail you've got to climb
Is rugged like and steep,
Remember, there's a shutdown,
And sweet and dreamless sleep"

The railroad situation Is probably

SUMMER CLOTHES
REALLY FEMININE

Clothes have become so profound
ly feminine that happily one no long
er feels obliged to babble about their
femininity.
They are obviously created for wom-
en-, not for tomboys, or baby dolls
This midseason shows the mode as
cending toward a perfection of bal
ance that has not been achieved in a
long time. Exaggerated wind-blown ef-
fects have been swept away, leaving
pleasant ghosts of their former selves
to lend movement to the silhouette.
The bust Is now the most important
point-yes, one can say it, the high
spot-of the silhouette. Every coutu-
rier emphasizes it in some way, at
least on frocks and blouses. All the
other moot style boundaries fade into
insignificance beside it.

Black Complex Features
Midsummer Collections

Lovely, wearable, feminine clothes
distinguished the Paris midseason col
lections. Freaks and oddities were
conspicuous by their absence; no bus
ties, no panniers, no fish-fns, nothing
geological. They follow, in the main,
the natural lines Of the body, and
their aim is to make women attrac-
tive.
Two leading points stood out. First,
the black complex. Secondly, the per-
sistence Of the three-quarter coat.
Many collections are so black, that
you might think gigantic inkwell
had been spilled over them. Black for
morning, black for afternoon, black
for evening. Sometimes, for evenings,
very exciting fabrics make the black
gowns unusual. Cellophanes, and cires,
and curious crinkles and clokies.
With her blacks, whites, and un-
usual grays, and her fabrics suggest
ing widows weeds, Schiaparelli
seemed to be celebrating the funeral
Of the depression.

MOST women realize or are coming
4VA to realize that as far as capt.
talizing personal charm and achieving
a smart and distinctive appearance are
concerned, there is nothing which so
effectively does just that as perfect
grooming. Not even wardrobe of
beautiful clothes can do for one that
which a becomingly coiffed head,
cunningly arched eyebrow and youth
giving facial can do.
it that the matter of placing ones
destiny in the hands of ones favorite
beautician is growing to be fixed
habit with the fair sex rather than
an occasional luxury.
And so, Madam and Miss Vacation
list, how about it, are you making it
a matter of first Importance to see to
it that your hair is set in order ere
you depart for seashore, or mountain
side? Now that the newest method
is to do it the machineless wayne
wires attached-no electricity, the ac-
quiring of permanent" becomes
more of pastime than trying, te-
dlous ordeal.
BY the way, it is well to keep in
mind in regard to the latest hairdress
that the distinguishing feature of the
smartest coiffures is hair that is partly
curly and partly straight. Which
means that for the first time in years
the girl with straight hair has a real
advantage, for she can get a perma-
nent wave and have the waves placed
where she wants them instead of hav-
ing them all over her head The girl
ish hairdress at the top of the group
illustrates the idea. Here the hair is
brushed back sleek and waveless from
the forehead with curls and waves de-
veloping at the back and each side.
That pretty fashion of wearing flow
ers in the hair has been revived. In
this instance a semi-wreathlet of
posies adds infinite charm.

The winsome maiden wearing the
fluffy-ruffle net collar, posed below in
the picture, also has part-straight
and a part-curly hairdress, and there
is a suspicion of bangs surrounding
her lovely brow-an adorable couture
for youth.
Yes, we agree with you, the hair ar
rangement to the left in the picture Is
extreme and will probably interest only
the type who are seekers after some
thing different" We appreciate the
fact that it would take some time for
the conservative average woman to adj
Just to such a radical change from pre-
vailing fashions as this. However, it
does carry the message that the new
est trend is to bring curls up higher
on the head off the nape of the neck,
not necessarily as high as pictured,
but striking a happy medium. Here
YOU see also the coronet braid which
if you haven't one grown to your head,
need worry you not at all, for you can
buy 'em looking as natural as your very
own. And beau-catchers, that's what
our grandmammas used to call them in
the days of their youth, If we are not
misunderstanding to those little
curly-kews over the temple and fore
head.
A more conservative hairdress Is
presented to the left in the group. 1t
is just such as ladies Of refinement
and cultured taste will covet. Not a
hair is seen out of place, which is ex-
actly what fashion demands of the
new coiffures, an exquisite finesse
which stands for expert grooming.
