Direct Sun s Rays
Only ricketts,
Preventive
BY MARTHA WINSLOW

Two things my friend. The
Doctor, has asked me to i'm
press upon my readers-the
education of girls to be mothers
and the Importance Of direct
sunlight to child health.
Pertinent to the second sub
ject is a report of the Chill
dren's Bureau, released today,
on their recent study of the
effect of tropical sunlight on
the development of the bones
of children.
The study was made to OBJ
tain material which would IA
cilitate diagnosis of the early
stages of ricketts,, and discloses
certain facts which should be
carefully considered by every
mother.
Significant
For a number of years the
child-hygiene division of the
Children's Bureau has been
making a close study of ricketts,.
It was found that the bones Of
a large proportion of infants
living in this temperate climate
showed, sooner or later, certain
minor changes interpreted as
evidence of slight ricketts,.
These changes occurred de-
spite the fact that these infants
had been given what was
thought to be an amount of
cod liver oil sufficient to pre-
vent ricketts,.
Since sunlight is a powerful
preventive and cure for ricketts,
it was felt that a study of a
group of infants who had lived
continuously in a tropical
climate, exposed the year
around to intense sunlight,
would be Of value.
Following the usual method
to insure compatibility of re-
suits the physicians of the
Children's Bureau examined
nearly 600 children under
three years of age living in
Puerto Rico.
Sharp Contrast
OF the children studied only
five showed evidence of ricketts,.
OF these one was an infant
who had lived until two weeks
before examination in the cell
lar of a large stone tenement
lighted only by electric lights.
and another showed scars of
ricketts, which had developed
when she had lived as tiny
infant in New York city and
which had healed some months
before she came under the eye

Shampoo Success
Depends on
Washing
By LIZ HUME

neglect the fundamentals.
have offered many types Of
shampoos, but it suddenly oc.
Cured to me while glancing
through my mail this morning
that, perhaps a great many
women don't even know how to
give a plain shampoo.
Remove Dirt
The mechanics of a shampoo
are simple. The hair should be
brushed thoroughly to remove
all of the dust and dirt posi-
BILE. With the finger-tips you
should gently rotate the scalp
until it is loose and pliable.
You should now concern your
self with the kind of soap. There
is nothing better than a pure
CASTLE, shaved into water and
dissolved over a slow fire.
Never use a bar of soap rubbed
directly onto the hair.
Wet the hair first with warm
water. When the hair is wet at
the start, it is protected to some
extent from any free alkali that
may be in the soap.
In applying the liquid soap,
start at the hair-line in the
front and work toward the back.
Unless the hair is very dirty and
oily it is not necessary to use a
brush in working-in the lather,
as good shampoo can be given
with the hands. Continue the
massaging of the scarp.
Rinse and Dry
Three SoapingS, followed by
three clearwater rinSeS, conSti-
tute an accepted standard. When
you can see little water crystals
on the hair, you will know that
it has been thoroughly rinsed
and is free from soap.
Be sure that the hair-line all
around the head is given special
attention, as well as the back OF
both ears.
Continue massaging the scalp
during the drying process, and
use a brush to separate and
smooth out the strands of hair,
drawing them straight up from
the scalp. A shampoo such as
this prevents clogged pores and
irritated scalp and will enhance
the value of the marcel or finger
wave.

It isn't possible to have beau
tiful hair and not take some
care of it. Frequent washing is
necessary, whether the hair is
oily or dry. Dirt is something
that one doesn't imagine, and it
is necessary to keep your hair
clean. just as you do your face.
It is strange, but one of the
best things for a scalp massage
is one of the easiest and cheap
est. It is so simple it will make
you smile. If you will, after
brushing the hair thoroughly,
dip the fingers of both hands
into a bowl of ice water and
then massage the scalp with the
cold fingers, you will find that
it will start circulation quickly
and without the help of any
medicated creams or liquids.
X X X
After rubbing the scalp with
the cold, wet fingers, shampoo
the hair with hot water. The
easiest way is to get one Of those
rubber tubes with a spray on
the end, kneel on the bath rug
in front of your bathtub, and
have at hand one glass into
which you have poured liquid
soap, and another filled with
one-fourth cup vinegar (the
plain cider VARIETY and three
fourths hot water.
Pour the hot soap liquid on
the hair AFTER you wet it with
hot water. Use a third at time.

and cocktail shakers and
glasses, you may want to start
from scratch, and deal yourself
an entirely new set of every
thing.
This may be done, complete,
for IL people, at a cost OF
from $35 to $40 and up, de-
pending on the grade of glass
you buy. Perhaps it might
come to less, if you are con-
tent with pressed glass; these
prices are for real crystal,
which is really always the best
In the long run.
One set of eight dozen pieces,
that I saw, which costs about
$40, included all the important

plain goSsamer-thin crystal,
perfectly balanced and grace

really show the wines they con-
tain to the best advantage,
and allow the light to bring
out their rich colors in true

Types In Set
For perfect service your set
should include: Pointed sherry
glasses. cocktail glasses, white
wine glasses, claret or burgundy
glasses, champagne glasses.
port or Madeira glasses, liqueur
glasses. and water goblets.

highba1l glasses, and tall

squatty old-fashioned cocktail

you are really excellently

In buying, keep these few
suggestions in mind.
Sherry glasses hould be
conical in shape; that is,
pointed at the bottom Of the
glass where it runs into the
stem.
COlOred or Plain
White wine glasses should be
tulip shaped, with tall slender
stems. Sometimes the stems
are tinted green, and the bowl
left colorlesS, for Rhine wines,
and occasionally you will find
lovely sets of IL white wine
glasses, with tall white stems,
and bowls of varied hues. Both
are equally good taste, although
7 prefer the white with green
stems, personally.
Red wine glasses should be
Ghorter-stemmed, a little deeper
tulip shaped bowl, and may be
all white, or with white and
red bowls.
Champagne glasses preferably
have hollow stems. However,
II the champagne glass in the
set you particularly fancy does
not come that way, do not

Port or Madeira glasses are
small, with short stems, and

Answer-You are. Don't rub
the buffer back and forth across
the top of the nail. Buff one
half of the nail on each finger
and then go back and buff the
other half. In this way a beau
tiful luster is obtained and no
unnecessary friction set up. OF
course, the most effective
method, and the easiest way of
obtaining polish on the nails is
by the use of liquid polish, which

industries are among those to be de-
veloped, too, while . parallel five-year
educational plan Is contemplated for
the training Of technicians.
Turkeys ambitious project Is Of spe-
cial interest In this country, because It
Is the fruit Of an exhaustive survey Of
Turkeys economic possibilities con-
Quoted during the past year by group
Of American specialists headed by
Walker d. Hines, former director Of the
United States Railroad Administration.
The plan Is the latest expression
Of the determination Of Turkeys ruler,
President Mustafa Kemal. to take his
country at the earliest possible moment
into the ranks Of modern states. For
a decade. under his enlightened and
energetic leadership. the foundations
for the transition have been intensively
laid. He has created q strong protective
tariff system. built nearly 1000 miles Of
railroads, created forty-two Turkish
banks and reorganized the national
school system. Between 1924 and 1884
the number of workshops and factories
has increased from 140 to 2,317.
If the economic and cultural progress
recorded by regenerated Turkey dur
ing the ten years just elapsed is fair
criterion, the accomplishments hoped
for under a much more highly geared
"hve-year plan" are destined to be vast.
The personnel circumstances which led
to the plans adoption suggest that
American business should be in on the
ground floor Of the substantial trade
advantages to accrue from it. although
Turkey for the Turks" with an end
of the old-time foreign exploitation of
that ancient realm, is manifestly the
handspring of Mustafa Kemal's pro-
gram.

Rights of C. W. A. Workers.

Relief Director Hopkins and the Dis
trict Commissioners are to be COM
mended for leaning over backward to
demonstrate that men do not surrender
the right to protest against working
conditions or to organize for collective
bargaining merely because they are
working for the c. W. A. The absurdity
of some of the demands" Of G. w. A.
agitators will not be allowed to destroy
that principle.
But it Is nevertheless interesting to
remember that when the Government
undertakes the responsibility Of provid-
ing work. the logical extension Of that
plan is apt to be enforced acceptance
Of the opportunity to work. There is
said to be no unemployment problem
in Russia. But the man who does not
work there does not eat.
To escape obvious difficulties, Direc-
tor Hopkins and the District Commits
sioners will be as careful to prevent
malingering and speechmaking during
working hours by @. W. A. agitators as
they will be to see that Just complaints
are heard and, II possible, the conditions
remedied.

Life Insurance Companies
Having Their Troubles
By HARDEN COLFAX.

While life insurance In force In the
United States totaled $95, ,000, ,000, 900 at
the end Of 1893, covering the lives of
some 63 900 900 policyholders, the COM
panies have not been without their
serious troubles and worries.
In reporting these figures to the Fed
eral Government, the Association Of
Life Insurance Presidents stated that
the assets Of the 81 legal reserve COM
panies, holding approximately 90 per
cent Of the total assets Of the business
gained about $380,000.000 in 1888. The
number Of mortgages foreclosed was
comparatively small matched against
the number outstanding" the death
rate was considerably lower than In
most former years and, IN general, "de-
preston problems were met with un-
expected success" So much for the
hopeful features Of the situation.
In the last half Of the year there
was . small but rather steady improve
ment in sales, but the first quarter Of
1888 was very trying. There were dis
orders In the farming States-in which
many leading companies held large
about as q result Of the objections to
foreclosure proceedings. Such FORE
closures, 1t viii be remembered, were
almost entirely suspended for weeks,
partly because Of threats Of violence
to employees Of insurance companies.
BY the end Of the year, however, the
situation had been substantially eased
by the ref1nancing Of mortgages through
various Federal agencies.
During the banking holidays q mum.
ber Of State governments put heavy
restrictions on the insurance companies,
restricting the payment Of loans on
policies, the granting Of cash sur
renders and even, In some cases, the
payment Of insurance itself. Gradually,
however, these restrictions were re-
moved. By the end Of the Summer
none Of them remained and the busi-
ness Of the companies became almost
normal. Policy loans during the year
reached . peak Of more than $780,.
000, 900 and then began to decline.
The companies reported . substantial
increase In investments during the
year. although farm mortgage loans.

Hot Air From Japan.

Japanese American war scsres long
ago ceased to have the virtue of novelty.
but the outburst Just attributed to Vice
Admiral Nobumasa Suetsugu in the
Gendia magazine at Toxic deserves
notice because Of its quite glittering
absurdity. There will be wide agree
ment with the views expressed by
Japanese official spokesmen in WASH
ington, who suggest that If Vice Ad-
miral Suetsugu did let off the reported
steam. it was vapor released primarily
for diffusion In Japan-for home con-
sumption, rather than with any ex-
pectation on his part that his fantasies
would be taken seriously in the United
States.
The vice admiral. who commands the
japanese Nays combined fleets, is
quoted as saying that Nippon must
prepare, and Is preparing, 10 defend
herself against what appears to me
to be Americas policy of encircling
Japan by every possible means" As
instances of "encirclement," the admiral
appears to have cited Col Lindberghs
leisurely flight along the Kurile Islands
in 1881 and Harold Bromley's abortive
attempt to fly the Pacific in $780, After
mentioning other American aviation
exploits IN the Pacific, like the Post
Gatty round-the-world flight, Admiral
Suetsugu refers to the establishment
Of Soviet-American relations as further
evidence Of a nefarious plot to hem
In Japan on all sides.
The Japanese militarist -imperialists
headed by Gen. Araki are at the pres
ent moment seeking to have the Diet
at Toxic vote the heaviest army and
navy budgets in Japan's history. The
most charitable and at the same time
most plausible construction to place on
such jingoistic jeremiads as Vice Ad-
miral Suetsugu's outgivings is that the
militarists feel the hour is ripe for
agandizing the nation with such
hobgoblins as the threats of impending
war or plots Of war on Japan by the
United States.
It is unfortunate that the brilliant
exploit of the aviation branch of the
American Navy-the record mass
formation flight from San Francisco to
Honolulu-should synchronize with the
latest Yankee war scare in Japan. It
is almost certain to be exploited there
as prima facie evidence of our designs
on the Mikado's territory via the vast
ethereal reaches of the Pacific. It
would be Just as ludicrous for Japanese,
of course. to impute such q meaning to
the California Hawaii flight as It would
be for Americans to scent danger in
the hop Of, a Japanese air squadron
from Yokohama to Formosa.
Happily. Japanese-American relations
are proof against the Suetsugus and
their phantoms.
