1 Vitamin A. oil prepared from salmon waste products at the can ming factory, proved best. The in fant or child should receive two or three times as much salmon oil as you would give if it were cod liver oil. I don't know whether salmon oil is widely available or whether 1t is as cheap as it should be. I give you the scientific facts and leave it to mother to examine the market. Don't we all?
 Besides being an excellent source of the vitamins, salmon oil seems to be an easily digested and well tolerated fat, and if it tastes any thing like as good as the cheapest grade of canned salmon a good grocer sells, the youngsters who get salmon oil instead of cod liver oil are in luck.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 How a Person browns 1 1. Does water enter the stomach or the lungs when a person is drowning? 2. Do your pores open and close? (Miss R. E0
 Answer-1. In the struggle the drowning person usually swallows considerable water. In some cases OL drowning very llItie water IS found in the lungs. Probably a gulp of water goes down the wrong way" and occludes a bron- chial tube or the windpipe and atelectasis results-that Is a col lapse of the lung. This may happen from mere spasm of the larynx from fright and the choking in duced by the entrance of a little water into the larynx. 2. There are no pores in the skin. A pore is an opening through which some- thing is absorbed.
 Eating Chemical Prcseryativc What is the effect of benzoate of soda on the system? Will a pound of nut olea containing one tenth of 1, per cent of benzoate of soda harm health when used as substitute for butter? (Mrs M. T. JD
 Answer-Not that the chemical itself is dangerous in the quality the average consumer must take in such food, but in my opinion food that will not keep without such embalming is not fit for human consumption anyway. I | fail to see the wisdom or economy of using any substitute for butter. ] Copyright 1934-John F. Dille Co)

Are you planning on going soon?" Bannister asked.
 "I'd like to. By the end of the week. Course I'll have to make up my mind first which trip I'm going to take. But I've about settled on Havana. The fellow who gave mo the books told me what it would cost. I guess there's lot of things that take money, though, that they don't figure in. And then I may want to stay quite a while if like 1t. Do you suppose I could make the trip for-say, $1,ooO?
 Bannister was thinking rapidly "I should think you could do it in royal style for that"
 "Well, I want to do it up right, Hollister assured him. "They say there's a swimming pool on this boat and they dance every night"
 He went on, recounting the lux uries outlined by the steamship folder, and asking more questions Bannister left him when they reached the street corner and went on alone.
 So Matthew Hollisrer was plan. ming a trip to Havana. Matthew newly outfitted by an expensive tailor, talked easily of spending money by the thousand, of going where there was gaiety and "liveli- ness." Yet it was less than a week since his sister had been murder ed.
 Bannister remembered Mrs Har- borough's words. "Matthew'll have quite a fortune now. Probably around $150,000. I wonder what he'll do with all that money"
 Ten days before Matthew Hol- lister, wearing a threadbare tweed topcoat and shapeless gray hat had seemed grateful because Ban rfister had bought him a 10-cent glass of beer. He had spoken of the beer as rare indulgence be- cause "Melvina ,doesn't like it.' And he had intimated that his sis ter was worried, that he believed she had some knowledge of Tracy Kings death which she was keep ing from the police. Later Hollis ter had as much as denied that he had said that.
 He might. of course, want to take steamship voyage to forget his grief. Plenty of people did that But Hollister had said not a word about his sister, not a word to sug- gest the trip was to ease heartache. on the contrary, he was looking for gaiety, going because he had never made an ocean trip.

 CHAPTER XIV
 Bannister matched his step to Matthew Hollister's. The older man said, "Bit chilly this morning, isn't it?"rHe looked up at the sky. T expect we'll get good snow be- fore long,"
 It had showed the afternoon Mel vina Hollister had been found dead. Bannister glanced at his companion curiously. "Yes," he said, q expect we'll have some snow. Are you still out at the Shell by Arms. MT Hollister?"
 "Oh, yes, I'm still there. Rents paid so I might as well stay. But I'm figuring on getting away at least for spell" He put his hand into the pocket of his coat and drew out several brightly colored booklets. Look at these!" he said eagerly.
 They were folders setting forth theattraction of steamship cruises to the West Indies. Central Amer ica and Bermuda. The cover of each bore a picture of handsome ship and the coloring suggested tropical splendors.
 Have you ever been to Hava- na?" Hollister asked.
 "YeS, I've been there."
 Pretty lively city. isn't it?"
 "Yes, it's lively, if that's what you're looking for. There's always a big crowd of tourists about this time of year, or a little later. Ha- vana's beautiful place."
 Hollister nodded approvingly. 1T figured I'd like it. There's one of these trips that takes in 8 lot of different islands but I don't know if I'd care so much for that. Ha- vana's- the place I want to see. They've got palm trees down there. haven't they? And it's warm there now. It says so here in this book He held out the folder.

S}R YOUR CHILDREN

"No one knows what nerve 1t takes
 To stand up In crowd,
 And speak out so that all can hear.
 In voice both clear and loud. :"
 A small tyke said this at a chill dren's entertainment years ago. It was new to me then, but l guess all of us have heard it dozens Of times since.
 It strikes an answering chord in every mans and woman's heart because it does take nerve to sneak up in a crowd, for adult as we'll as child, and to speak up Tn roomful of people or even at a bridge table is one of the trials of life to many.
 "They laughed when =" Is common self-analysis when it's all over and you've gone home and decided that every time you open- ed your mouth you make goose of yourself. The cringing fear Of the shy is an agony of mind that almost nothing can surpass.
 Handicap of Small Vocabulary
 Now I do not believe that peo- ple as a rule are afraid to express their opinions, no matter how shy they are. What gets them is lack of the right words to say what they want. And the correct pro nunciation of the words they know.
 To 20 through life withsa limit ed vocabulary is a constant draw back, and it is a pity when our language is so full of words that are briefly and forcefully descrip'
 No magic gives us these words; Listening to good speakers will help some, and reading good books, too, but even so. the con- text may not make the meaning entirely clear.
 There is only one way to in crease vocabulary and that is to study. I don't mean to get the dictionary, take 8 pencil and try to learn three dozen words In A day. The best plan is to learn one word a day. or one week, keep using it, writing it. overworking It until it is yours to keep.

 Problem The squeeze play for which every expert is on the lookout Is the Vienna coup squeeze. While this play is not so rare in contract as in auction, nevertheless many players confuse an ordinary squeeze with the Vienna coup.
 To-day's hand was made by O. s. Enrich of Cleveland who, with his partiier, Elmer J. Babin, took the lead at the end of the first session of the open contract pair event at the recent national championship tournament in Cincinnati.
 Several players mistook the play fin this hand for a Vienna coup, but 1t is not Vienna coup, since the ace of clubs does not have to be played to execute the squeeze. Enrich sat in the South.

CREAMY COSMETICS ARE
 BEST FOR DRY SKINS Ky ALICIA HART
By AIicis Hart
3I9X sy 1EH sEkzSE !N -


 Dry skins need. in addition to nourishmenr and adequate protec- ton from sun and wind. cosmetics which have no drying effects.
 For example, cream rouges are considered better than powdered ones for dry complexions. New cream rouges have about the same consistency as whipped cream. They blend easily, leaving no rough edges and give a smooth, velvet-like appearance to skin which is otherwise pretty dry.
 Always smooth on foundation lotion or cream before you start to apply cream rouge. Heres little rouge trick which probably will prove helpful to anyone who has trouble getting the edges smoothed out: Dip your forefih- ger lightly in your cleansing cream and then into the rouge pot. YouIl find that the combi- nation of the cream and rouge will aid you in blending the color on your skin. ga.
 Buy your powder from a re- liable manufacturer and try it be- fore you make the purchase. The texture of face powder is just as important as the shade of 1t. Sometimes a heavier one, contain ing little oil, is fiattering to 6 dry skin.
 If your lips are dry. use creamy lipstick which will tend to keep them looking moist and freshly made up.

Salmon Oil Instead of Cod Liver Oil
 It is now widely popular prac- tice to give every baby from a month to year old a daily ration of cod liver oil, to promote health- ful growth and to prevent rickets, also to help the baby develop nor mal immunity against respiratory infection. This latter purpose is only theoretical; we do not know definitely whether the Vitamin A in cod liver oil is essential in the development of immunity. But the value of Vitamin D. as in cod liver oil and in fresh milk, cream, but ter and egg yolk, for promoting growth and preventing rickets, is well known.
 The month old baby. should re- ceive, say five drops of cod liver oil twice a day, after regular feed ing. The ration should be increased to ten drops at the age of 2 months, 20 drops at three months, teaspoohful twice day at four months. and then ordin- arily a teaspoonful twice day un- til the end of the first year. After that no cod liver oil is necessary, for the older baby should get his
