Once a woman has passed the | thirty mark she must pay special attention to her figure. The old ounce off, prevention is-worth "a = pound-ofcure rule certainly applies where weight is concerned. It's much easier to keep from gaining surplus pounds pounds than to | lose them.
 Watch your diet. Don't become a fanatic on the subject, but do try to curb your craving for sweets | and other fattening items. Ask your doctor to give you a list of | foods that are necessary to your general health, include them in your daily diet and then eat spar ingly of things you like but which aren't particularly beneficial or which tend to make you gain. Incidentally. every mature wo- man should see a physician once a year. If you have minor skin eruptions, chronic muddiness. puffs under the eyes or an unusually tired, drawn look, a doctor un- dubtedly can do more for you than any amount of creams and lotions applied externally.
 To retain the supple carriage of youth and to keep your body slen- der and firm, take plenty of exer- l else in the open air. Instead of driving or taking bus when you go downtown to shop. walk at least part of the way. Ply tennis, golf or any other game that keeps you physically fit. Swimming equalizes the weight. Riding is excellent for the legs, thighs and waistline.

For the Christmas gift you sim ply can't decide upon, here's 8 grand suggestions.
 A new lamp for reading in bed. Really new in style, size and. most of all. eye comfort.
 "oh, she has a bedside lamp" I can hear you say. Ten to one I'll wager she does not have one of the newest models in lighting ease!

 Hay Fever
 Hay fever sufferer declares that he finds surcease by keeping his nostrils plugged with natural wool through the hay fever season. His season comes on schedule and he knows when to plug up. c. D. W.)
 Answer-Probably the pollen en- ters through the nose in most cases, so this method sounds reasonable. By natural wool is meant wool as it comes from the sheep. It may be bought under the name of lambs wooi' from druggists and surgical supply dealers.

1.-E. M. Highsmith, of Blue Mountain College, in caustic ar ticle in "School and Society, says: The married man teacher has no time for attending summer schools and thus he is unable to keep abreast of the latest educational fads. He becomes a back num- Der in no time. He has no inclina- ton or time for the lodge or the social affairs through which he once contributed so notably to the community. He becomes wor- ried over the imminence of dotage, becomes absent-minded and in- competent. Surely he was inca pacitated at the moment of his marriage. .. Sause for the gander." While obviously satirical it shows that the time-honored arguments against married women teachers would be as just if applied to mar ried men teachers.

NE YOUR CHILDREN
by Olvs Robsrts Bsfton ,
lz l.1 { ssE.zz. s.E

A letter from mother who asks If 1t is not true that as children grow up they often hurt you sug. gests my theme for today. This idea has been waited my way on various breezes this fall. Perhaps Ruth Suckow's book, "The Folks" began 1t. It brought to the attention of the middle-aged the fact that their well-laid plans and woven dreams for their children oft go awry. Perhaps is barred cer- tain secret regrets of parents here and there who thought that they alone were chosen to do a little private suffering. Like every other class of people with dark chambers i ntheir hearts they find comfort in discovering their to be a com- mon trouble and still more balm in comparing notes.
 As my children are not only growing but grown" now, perhaps what have to say will bear the stamp of truth. My experience, however, may differ somewhat from they are different but because am diqerent. Having made a study of children and parents for so many
  not learned many lessons about human relationship. And forewarn- ed Is fore-armed. knew that the success of middle-age did not de- pend so much on them as on my self.
 Four Factors Involved in Parent-
 hood.
 This,I think, is the secret of calm content and rich harvest in our families as we grow older. A secret built around the same philo- sophy of acceptance that includes some of these things:
 First, we cannot fit any child in- to a groove.
 Second, we can not expect our opinions to be theirs when we send them out into the world to be edu. cated and learn other peoples opinions.
 Third we must not confuse in- dependence with cruelty or indif- ference.
 Fourth, we must not eat our hearts out because we have been unable to give them what we so often miscall Opportunities" Concerning the pattern. One might as well plant a seed and then tell each of it's resulting branches exactly which direction to grow as to expect the child to con- form in every respect after he or she is old enough to generate in- dependent thought and action.
 Independent Youth Won't Walk On Eggs Always. As to outside influence how can we expect our children to be'un- aA bxy faronC oF Sohnn1 nd society when much if not most of their lives are spent out of the home?
 And neither should we forget that young people seething with life and Their Own Hopes will not eternally walk on eggs and spare our feelings if we have grown brit tie shells or ubiquitous nerves that are always getting under foot. Why should we spiff1e and weep? They love us. They are not cruel. | The trouble hereis still comparable to the ruthless growing force of the plant. It will grow, and even split through a hard rock to do so. But you cannot prevent its ex- banding. And last, no parent needs to feel futile guilt because he cannot make his boy a football captain or leave him a fortune.
 I These young people will surprise you. Give them ten or twenty years and you will find they have succeeded and developed beyond your imagination. Look across to them instead of down and be happy.

University. He investigated the vo- cations of 147 men several years after leaving college, and found that the ones who had ranked highest in college on intelligence tests were using their college training less than those who ranked lowest. Of those who were inthe vacations for which they had trained in the University those in the highest mental ranks were not using this training in their voca- tions. The author concludes that we who have moderate or low in- telligence have to depend more than the quick and brilliant on our trainin grather than on our wits to make living.

 Crown Roast of Pork This may be rib roast or spare ] ribs. If rib roast, have the butcher chop through bones of two strips, each containing six chops or less as needed. Trim ends of bones evenly and tie in a circle having meat on inside. Tie squares of |-buttered paper over ends of bones to prevent charring. Season with salt and pepper and roast as usual in a moderate oven. Allow from two to three hours for roasting. Baste frequently with drippings. Remove paper before sending to the / table and cover with paper frilis. Garnish with parsley and blushing apples if platter is large enough to permit comfortable carving.
 If spare ribs are used. tie two strips together in a circle and fill with the following stuffing:
 One cup chopped apples. 1-2 cup seeded raisins, pounds bulk saul sage, 1 teaspoon minced onion. teaspoon poultry seasoning. tea spoon powdered sage, 1-4 teaspoon pepper, 3 cups soft stale bread crumbs. 1 egg, water to make moist.
 Beat egg slightly and combine all ingredients. If the sausage is highly seasoned no salt will be needed. Otherwise add tea spoon salt.

Animal Experimentation And Human Improvement

Human Improvement
 Just where, I've often wondered. is the line of demarcation between wit, humor and nonsense? One critic frowns at the lightest touch of jocularity in discourse about health, as being facetious, imperils dignity and destroys confidence. Another disapproves if the writer or speaker is too darn serious, as that has a bad moral or actually morbid effect. reckon nobody knows, and it is after all a queS- tion of individual opinion. A lit- tie nonsense, yes, but just how much of this seasoning to use in dish that will appeal to the major ity of tastes?
 So it is with vitamins, too. We're learning a whale of lot about the six vitamins which have been rec ognized to date, namely vitamins A, B, (B was formerly designated B1), c. D, E.. and G, co was for merly designated B2). Most of the newer knowledge about the func- tion of the vitamins in metabolism or nutrition is gained by animal | experimentation. Some of it ap- plies perfectly to human nutrition, but much of it cannot be accepted without modification through ex- tensive experiments on man, clin- ical experience, testing or trying out in practice. The veterinary physicians are therefore in a po- sition to, and many do success fully employ this new knowledge in practice before we medical practitioners get onto it.
 The dumbest of all classes in reference to the use of our present klowdelge, as it seems to me, are pet shop people, amateur dog, cat and bird fanciers or breeders. But then, they always have handed out the weirdest (by jingo, Dr. Web- ster assures me I have spelled that word correctly for the first time ever-I wish some kind psycholo- gist would tell me how I can re- member the goes before the in weird) advice to gullible custom CTS as to the feeding, care, "worming" and general maltreat- ment of animals or birds.
 It is not difficult to restrict half of litter of white rats to care fully measured rations of feed which contains no vitamin D, for example, until the animals show definite signs of rickets, which they do in a few days or weeks. The other rats of the same litter or group thrive on the same feed plus vitamin D. It is simple, routine matter for the laboratory worker, the biological chemist, the physi- ologist, to measure precisely how l much viiamin D must be added to 1 the feed daily in order to prevent rickets from developing, or how much must be added to cure rick cts after the definite signs of it have appeared.
 But you can't transfer these de- auctions or conclusions to human economy. There are many fac tors of variation between rodent physiology and human, though the natural food of rats is more nearly akin to that of man than is the food of any other creature.

Body Blow Aimed
At Nudist Cult by
Authority on Rays
Too Much Light May Be
Injurious, Expert Tells
Medical Men.
BY the Associated Press.


CINCINNATI, May l7.-There Is no
conclusive evidence, DR.. Edgar Mayer
of New York told the National Tu-
berculosis Association yesterday, that
there is benefit to the average person
in sun bathing, either natural or arti-
fetal.
In fact, he said of the cults of
nudism and sun bathing, harm may
be done in the treatment of both
the sick and the well by the inju-
dicious and uninformed use Of light. !"
An authority on the use OF light
rays in the treatment of disease, he
agreed that ultra violet irradiation has
been shown to be of value in treat
ment Of certain diseases or injuries,
among them certain forms OF tubercu-
losis. But, he added:
Gross excessive exposure of the en-
tire body may in certain cases cause
serious illness and excessive exposure
Of a local area may in some cases
lead to permanent deleterious changes
in the skin"
Even reliance upon it as an i'm
portant aid in pulmonary tuberculosis
is to be discouraged"
Patients suffering from tubercu-
losis in the bones, intestines, lymph
nodes, peritoneum and larynx receive
some benefit when the entire body is
exposed to carefully graded doses Of
natural sunlight or certain artificial
sources of ultra violet rays, he reported.
but he called "unwarranted" claims
that similar irradiation is a valuable
therapeutic agent In treatment Of Sec
ondary anemia.

nation fights with its fellows for trade,
he said, without regard to normal

NEW YORK, May 17.-Establish-
ment Of safeguards against future
similar accidents was made the aim
of the special Department of Com
merce inquiry today into the sinking
of the lightship Nantucket by the
liner Olympic Tuesday in the fog off
Nantucket Shoals.
George r. Putnam. commissioner
of lighthouses of the department, one
of three members of the inquiry
board, said no effort would be made
to fix responsibility for disaster which
cost the lives of seven members of the
lightship's crew.
Members of Inquiry.
Sitting with Putnam were Rear Ad-
gency Fleet Corporation, and Dicker-
son N. Hoover, assistant director OF
the United States Bureau of Naviga-
ton and Steamship Inspection.
Capt. John w. Binks, master Of the
crack White Star liner which sank the
Nantucket, was called to appear as a
witness. He is scheduled to sail on
the liner in command when it leaves
at midnight tonight on its regular
voyage to England.
Wireless Operator Heard.
The first witness to appear was
Frank Clark, chief wireless operator
of the Olympic, who read from his
wireless log the list of bearings re-
ceived Tuesday morning from the
Nantucket's radio beacon prior to the
crash.
The first bearing was received at
$50 am, he said, the second at 9:46,
the third at 9:52, and the last at 9:55.
Eleven minutes later, at 1906 the
huge bulk Of the liner ran down the
small lightship. From the time of

WIFE OF PICARD
INITIATED INTO AIR
Makes First Flight in Bag
Seeking License as
BaIIoonist.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
THAMESvILLE. Ontario, May 17-
Enthusiastic over q very lovely" trip,
marred only by the loss Of an angel
food cake and a slight accident on
landing, Mrs. jeanette Picard COM
pleted her first balloon flight here
yesterday.
The 8 hours and 20 minutes she
spent in the air with her husband,
Prof. Jean Picard, noted stratosphere
student, and E. J. Hill gave her the
first leg Of her qualification as the
first licensed woman balloonist.
I'VE went north from Detroit" she
said in relating her experience. "Or
was 1t northeast, Jean?"
"Northeasterly." her husband cor
rected.
High Wind on Ground.
Eve had fine weather and the view
was lovely. We made an intermediate
landing around Wallaceburg for q
while, where we tied up in q f1eld.
There was high wind near the
ground and we were banged about a
bit, 80 We knew when we came down
we would have to rip it,"
Mrs. Picard was proud OF her
knowledge of the balloon term "trip
it," and explained that it meant "trip
the bag, you know. Open it Up and
let the gas out"
I'VE had quite a lot OF sand left
when We landed. though" she added.
The injury to her arm when the
balloon bumped down In q field near
here at 1:20 pm. Eastern standard
time) she passed of lightly.
I've had worse bangs at home" she
said. Il was at the front Of the basket,
and / should have been at the back.
Both Mr.. Hill and the professor fell
on top Of me-"
More disturbing was the loss of an
angel food cake, which Mrs. Picard
slowed carefully in the basket before
the take of at Detroit at 5 am.
Il really don't know what happened
to It," she said. I'VE didn't have
chance to eat 1t, and 1 guess 1t got
crushed. We did have some coffee and
some food, though"
One part of the trip that appealed
PoAbeuAaiiy was tIlc lanQlUB, WHICH
attracted crowd of volunteer helpers
to the farm Of John Oliver.
Thankful For Assistance.
IT think the landing-with every one
treating us so nicely-was really the
best part of the whole thing" she said.
All the men around here were simply
grand when 1t came to helping US fold
up the bag and get 1t ready for ship
ment back to Detroit. I'm 50 thrilled
and thankful to them ALL"
The three balloonists planned to re-
turn TO Detroit by train last night.
To qualify as licensed balloonist,
an accomplishment no woman has
ever made, Mrs. Picard must make
two more flights with Hill, her in
structor, and two solo flights.
Il have lot of books and I've been
studying mete0rology for several
months" Mrs. Picard revealed. She
hopes between her studies and her ex-
perience on accompanied flights to
equip herself for her solo experiences,
one Of which must be at night.
