Connecticut motorists havo def- inlte opinions about the driving haraoteristles of motorists from other states. They will say about tho driver of q car bearing 6 cer- tain marker "oh, well, what dU you expect of n driver from that state '? They all drlve eklessly." IL ls well for us Connecticut motorists 10 reflect that our own driving is constantly under supcrvision, At homo and h other stRtess and that outsof.state motorists are passing Judgment on us Just as we arrive At a verdict eonecrnlng thon,.

 Courtesy is ono Of tho attributes which distinguishes men from tho lower animals, but In roeeht years tho synonyms for courtesy beom to have heen forgotten the. moment ! many drlvers got behind the wheel oe an automobile. There ls no req son why we should not be ladios and gentlemen while driving our cars, just as much as we are m our homes. Consideration for tho rights and privileges of other users et the highway, whether they DO drivers or pedestrians, ls one of tho things which would do much to prevent and reduce motor traffl0 accidents. Co.operation with the local authorities to tho extont that w0 may have law observers rather than law enforcement is not altos sether q utopian dream.
 There aro, 0f course, many other attributes that ga. te make Q good dsiver.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris - (U.P.) - Styles may come and ,go. but there is one re- quirement they will always have. and that Is youthful appear ance. Regardless of the epoch or epidemic ever woman wants to look young. AIy fad or fashion that a ds to her age Is immediate ly subj Vfacted f:om her wardrobe.
 Originality, chic, eccentriclty even, count to a certain degree but only so far as they keep the slo- gan of "Youthfulness" before them. The moment any of these desirable qualities within limits gets the least bit mature or over matronly, out they go.
 Among the youngest of the Par isian creators of fashion, and with that supreme self-confidence in her own good taste, which is so essen tial to the trade, Madame Georg- cite Renal has set out to make success of her ideas. In the brief space of three years she has come good ways toward that goal.
 For materials she uses neither dishtQwels, sacking nor celluloid. She leaves hay Tor the horses and wood, for furniture and de- votes her time and talent to the eternally lovely silks and velvets, wools and classic tweeds that are making her name to be uttered in soft syllables among the so- cially and satorially elect. For the now-upon-us season, Madame Renal chooses flower shades-clear reds and blues and purples, com bining them with native greens and browns. and the ever present black and white.

am not talking for the sake of talk ing. You cannot understand mur- der unless you can understand the things which have led to that mur- der. There is nothing so important as an appreciation of motive. By that I mean appreciation of the emotional backgrounds of all the persons concerned. You cannot de- tect murder until you can judge 1t. You cannot judge it until you can understand it. That which might well incite one person to murder would cause only mild irritation in another"
 Griff ceased speaking and Bleek- CT drowned and turned away. Bleeker's manner was that of one who deliberately ignores situa- tion he cannot control. After sev- eral moments he spoke.
 "When you are ready to talk facts" he said, T want to listen. In the meantime, consider you're talking to yourself, not to me. l don't give a damn about your phi losophy. want facts"
 Griff sighed. the sigh of one who has barred his innermost thoughts in an attempt to make an explana- ton, which, when it is expressed has become no explanation at all. but merely a further ground of misunderstanding.
 The cab came to q stop.
 This said Griff, lis the hotel where Mary Briggs is registered under the name of Stella Mockley. Or perhaps her real name is Stella Mocklcy and the name that she gave the police was one which was assumed for the occasion"
 "At least" Blocker said with more than a trace of impatience in his tone as he thrust a bill into the outstretched hand of the cab driver, i've will get something definite here, not merely a mass of philosophies and theories"
 "We are," Griff admitted, "ap- preaching the end of our chase. Soon we will have all of the straws in our hands and then we can see the direction in which those straws are pointed - a direction which Morden mus: have deduced from

down, thus eliminating glare and providing light as restful to the eyes a san cider down mattress would be to the body. Within the bowl is another bit of magic, an electric lamp, newly developed,
 which (because of two filamentsl gives three different intensities 0t light at the turn of switch. For sewing and the reading of fine
 print for long periods, the lights of the auxiliary candles, holding bulbs of from 0to 60-watts. are added to that of the central bulb. How about using a single lamp
 at the end of the davenport, rather than at the back?" hear some
 one ask. Well, that depends On your davenport. If it is too long the lamp standard would have to be excessively and awkwardly high to shed its light the entire length.
 End table lamps can of course be
 used, but are not always practical for the away-from- -the-wall loca- ton in a smaller room where spacem ust be conserved.
 If the davenport is of the Love Seat type, a lamp similar to the smaller ono sketched, and using a
 100-watt lamp. may be placed on a table behind it. This is also an approved I. E. S. Study and Read ing Lamp, a multitude of lovely designs for which have been
 made by many manufacturers.
 It is higher than table lamps you've been using mo doubt. But that's a new style note! -I In the interest of seyesight preservation

DRY CLEANING YOUR
 TEETH


 Although my one-man nation- wide movement to abolish bath tubs has not won universal ac- claim, scouts send in reports of homes here and there without a single tub, just showers throughout and some of these new home builders are respectable people, too. Showers. I think, are sanitary.
 l had little to say about brush ing the teeth in the course of the deep depression, but now that we are getting over the morning after I hope a word pr two may not be amiss, giving our friends and the dentors the present view of or Doc Brady, who still clings doggedlv to most of his own teeth and two his dentist installed when TYR was roughriding and scorchers men, aced life and limb. Especially as it concerns cleaning the teeth. Tooth brushes, once used are practical ly impossible to steriliZe.
 After all the hooey that has been broadcast, dental carries or decay and cavity formation; ging- ivitis, or soreness and inflammation of the gums and pyorrhea or in- lection and suppuration of the tooth sockets are still as common as in the rite of brushing the teeth. I do not mean to infer that the practice of brushing the teeth causes these conditions, but mere ly that it has failed to prevent them. Personally I reached this conclusion long ago. I estimate I have saved at least six weeks time since I quit brushing my teeth, not to boast about the satisfactory conditions of my teeth and mouth.

Preside happiness depends very much on the kind of lamps pro vdided for those hours of reading, sewing or just plain ease.
 In many a spacious living room. and small ones also, the davenport Is placed alongside the hearth, as in the accompanying sketch. Where there is no fireplace the lamp appropriate for the away from -the-wall location is the same.
 Just one lamp stands by the davenport in the living room H. lustrated. But you can bank on that one! 1t knows all the tricks of good lighting, having been built to specifi NTspeciaetaoin built according to specifications of the Illuminating Engineering so- ciety, national group of lighting scientists.
 You'll not first that the lamp is placed at the back of the daven- port. This balanced arrangement is possible because of the height of the lamp and the wi d h of the shade which allow sufficient spread of light for the entire length of the davenport. Johnnie won't be out of range of good light re- gardless of where he sits on this davenport.
 The reasons for the excellent lighting are apparent when the shade is lifted, as illustrated in the smaller sketch.

It is, therefore, both easy and spectacular and they know it will win many men to their stan dard.i The only dictator who has advanced women is Renal Pasha, the best educated in Western li- beral culture of all the dictators- Hitler, hates and fears women be- cause he knows if they ever or ganize he, power is gone.

By the time Little Jack and Jeannie are five they have picked up a good bit of knowledge about this big world.
 Besides they are able to concen- through plot.
 But they will still love the baby books and bits of nonsense and funny rhymes as well as adven- lures of their little animal friends and toys.
 Don't discard theold favorites at this time; leave them there in easy reach, but add to them. This isone golden rule about book col lecting. As matter of fact, the child never outgrows anything.
