minated by contact with pus or with something contaminated by pus, perhaps from some trifling pimple or some small fostering abrasion or from nose or throat dis charge in a case of tonsillitis or coryza, or from saliva infected by suppurating gums, or by the pus- inflammation or suppuration. There producing germs from some other is no end of likely sources of viru- lent staphylococci or streptococci, without imagining these germs pres- ent on the normal skin surface.
 Given the essential germs, 1t is necessary to provide access to the tissues for them, in order to explain the boil. Some scratch, abrasion, puncture or opening must give the germs entry; otherwise they can't have any boil. If the skin is in- tact. these virulent pus-producing germs are soon killed by soap and water, or by sunlight, or by dry ing and oxygen in the air. Keep 'em dark and moist and they may sur- vive for a whole hour. In addition to darkness and moisture, provide suitable pabulum for the germs and they will remain in virulent condi- tion for hours or days. No better pabulum for such germs than a nice big flaxseed meal poultice Poulticing a boil with flaxseed meal or any similar meal is a nasty and a risky business.
 All possible advantages of such poultice treatment without the dis advantages or objections may be obtained by substituting the hot moist aritiseptic saline compress treatment.
 In a large vessel of boiled water still as hot as you can handle dis- solve common table salt, rounded tablespoonful to the quart and sodium citrate in the same propor- tien. That makes a hypertenic sal- inc solution, which favors natural drainage from boil or wound. To render the solution antiseptic, SO that any pus-gertlas discharged from the boil will be destroyed and no spread of infection will occur, dissolve also a heaping teaspoonful of boric acid to the quart of the saline solution.
 Now wiring out of this solution, as hot as you can endure, large folds or congresses of gauge or washed cheesecloth and apply to the boil as you would g poultice, A covering of rubber dam or oiled silk or greased paper and over all a hot water bottle. Change the dressing every hour.
 This first aid treatment is pets haps the most satisfactory first aid relief for any acute infection of wound or other lesion. where there

walked to a litle clump of trees at the crest of long slope.
 Jean sat down on log, look ing out over the green valley be- low, and Sandy sprawled, loose- nmbed, on the ground at her feet. He was smoking cigaret and looking up at the tree tops; and suddenly, without any preamble whatever, he said, Listen, sister, why shouldn't you and I get mar ried?"
 If he had tossed a glass of ice water in her face Jean could hardly have been more completely surprised. For it happened that one of the ways in which she eased her conscience for continu- ing to see Sandy while her sup- posed engagement to Bobby ex- isted was the argument that she and Sandy were "just pals" and that Sandy had no romantic mo- tions whatever about her. She looked at him, her lips parted, her eyes large.
 He had been lying on his back, hands claSped behind his head. Now he sat up, folded his arms about his knees, and looked up at her, his smile that familiar and exicting mixture of derision and affection.
 "Yeah," he said. Married. You know. People do it. They go to a minister and hold hands and he goes mumbo- jumbo over their heads" - he made an airy pass with his hands - "and then they go to Niagara Falls or some place on their honeymoon, and after that they're married. You know?"
 All she could find to say was, "Why, Sandy!" which didn't seem to advance things very much.
 "Well, why not?" he asked, as casually as if he had suggested that they go to movie. Isn't it a good idea?"
 She hesitated, her heart beat ing furiously.
 Sandy" she faltered, TT didn't know that you - that you felt that way about me"
 Come off, come off," he said, looking up snrewdly. You know better than that"
 Honestly, Sandy, didn't think you"
 Her voice trailed off, and there was tense pause.

FAVOUR CHILDREN
LZzl ..s' -
; e OlHs Robss,s eastpa .

Everybody knows that cars go too fast, most of them; that others are unfit for road service and menace everybody; that half the drivers seem to have lost every decent in- tibition; that roads and narrow streets cannot safely take care of the jams on a mellow day.
 But there is one thing that I feel is getting too little accent and that is the part of the child pedestrian, household pets and wheeled toys play in the drama.
 At four o'clock of an afternoon when school is letting out, every few miles the driver sees small groups of children going home along the highway. He slows down to a crawl, or should, but he is prepared for almost anything.
 Mostly these children keep back off the road, but sometimes he reads defiance in every small face. They have been told that the road is theirs and to stick to it. Alas, this is true-where are those foot paths talked of for so many years?
 Unaware of Limitations
 What these children cannot know is that if two cars have to pass at that point neither of them can turn out. Often not so much as foot. Another thing they do not know is that over a rise in the road, even a slight one, or around bend, the driver cannot see.
 There are serious limitations to what driver can do. At twilight and after, no walker is safe on any road. Car lights often leave the walker in complete shadow, depend- ing on level, on turns, and on ap- preaching cars. I write this, of course, for the benefit of those who do not handle cars themselves, al- though they may be regular pas sengers. Riding in g car is not driv- ing one. Therefore it follows that the majority of people are unin- formed. V
 Last week boy on a bicycle de- liberately rode out of a side street calmly and dreamily into the heavi- est traffic. I froze to the seat where sat beside a friend, an expert driv- CT of many years experience. She jerked the car aside. The car be- hind swerved and passed within an inch. Two cars piled up on the other side. Both of us were too nervous to go on. That boy never knew 1t was his fault. Doesn't know it yet.
 Pets Are Perils to All
 Every dog that crosses a street is as dangerous to traffic as a bull on railroad track. A driver hinches and tries to turn out or brake too quickly instinctively. Their owners often fear for the lives of their pets, often fear for the lives of their pets, but how often does it occur to them that these Scotties or Airedales are a menace to people, not only riders but how often does it occur to them that these Scotjties or Airedales are a menace to pie, not only riders but walkers, for a car jerked aside has to go some place and often into a crowd.
 Dogs, bicycles, ,toy-wagons, skates and so on will some day be classed as menaces in busy cities and on much-used roads and subject to fine. A pity, yes, but something has to be done,s to save people in cars and out of them, and above all the chil- dren themselves.

H0W- ever, to tn beeutv-tninded woman, : the i've steps constitute a routine that will strengthen her knees and reduce weight 0la hips and thighs. ReH1etnber, Of cOttrEe, that you cannot expect to do these exer- cises correctly with feet in q straight line the first five times you try. or the Aftieth, for that mat ter. But if you will praetice them daily until you do attain success, then keep on doing them each morning for weeks and weeks there after, you certainly will iese weight and your carriage will be 0rle hun dred per cent better.
 Here are the directions: Stand haFefeeted or In heeiless soft bedroom slippers. before q long mirror. Be sure that your knees are pulled taut and straight. Press heels hat against the deor.
 Bring Feet Into Line With heels together, force toes outward until feet make Q straight line.
 Arch the right foot, extend it
 to the side about twelve inches, meanwhile pointing toes to the floor, then force the heel down again. In this second position, although legs are wide apart, feet should be turned outward exactly as they were in the hrst. Feel the muscles in your feet, hips and thighs stretch and pull. Don't bend forward. Keep hands on hips.
 For step three, arch the right foot again, slide It back toward the left, stopping when the right heel is against the left iiastep. At this point, feet should be parallel. Hold the position 8 few seconds. Speed Is unimportant Now arch the right foot again, slide 1t directly forward so tfp
 ankles are in line and about
 twelve inches apart. The left foot
 should be turned straight outward
 to the left. The right one direct
 ly outward to the right. Hold the fourth for ten seconds,
 trying to force heels more and
 more outward. Then pull the right
 backward until it's toes are press
 ing against the left heel. RRepeat,
 extending the left foot in step two
 and leading with it-three, four and
 i've.
 It is. of course, more important to do these exercises with press- tire than with speed. Practice
 them slowly and see that heels ale ways are held downward.

CHAPTER XIV


 This summer, Jean was discov- eriflg, was not one in which that prized possession, her peace of mind Was really fiourishing.
 She had begun the summer in a settled groove. Bobby was al- ways lowering near, like a famil- far and beloved spirit; when she looked to the future, she always had a somewhat hay picture of herself as Mrs. Robert Wallace, presiding oyer coZy little apart ment or a pleasant little house She had known Bobby from boy hood; for at least three years now, she had more or less taken it for granted that some day she would become his wife.
 But of late this familiar pic- ture had become disarranged. Into the quiet routine of her daily life had come a new figure; a long, athletic young man from the wegt. who had lazy drawl and 8 nlocking smile which both dis turbed and fascinated her, and who for some unaccountable req son seemed to move in the very aura of romance, so that her pulse seemed to beat 8 little faster every time she saw him. When he was with her she found herself saying things and thinking things that she had not intended to say and think; when he was not with her, his image had way of popping into her mind at the most unexpected times-like, for example, that even- ing when he had suddenly come be- tween her and Bobby at the very moment when Bobby was making his most ardent proposal.
 So the old, familiar picture of herself as Bobby .Wallace's wife seemed to be getting a little out of focus, somehow - blurry and unreal like badly taken photo- graph. She found herself putting Bobby of, evading direct answers to his questions, postponing things in Q way which left that honest young man sorely puzzled; yet she never seemed to be able to reach any decision in her own mind, and if her life had depended on it she could not have said whether, in the bottom of her heart, she still intended to marry him.
 Meanwhile, she continued to see both young men; and the mere business of keeping her wires un- crossed in this matter, of keeping the two sets of dates from con- ficting, of being her old self with Bobby and her new, rather fright entng self with Sandy - was, she discNeved, enough to keep a faint furrow in her brow.
 Being thus unsettled and un- certain, Jean was taken com- pletely, aback when Sandy pro-
 It was Saturday afternoon, and they had gone out to play golf. Finishing their game, they had got into Sandy's roadster and had driven out across the country without any particular goal; and at last Sandy had parked the car on a quiet road that followed the crest of a long ridge south of town, and they had got out and

 Started Saturday
 The raid was started last Satur- day while the Italians were preoc- cupied with the attack on Adigrat and Aduwa. The Ethiopian govern men had frankly expressed anxiety lest the daring raiders would be cut off and annihilated.
 The fact that the Italian dispatch mentioned "Aile" as trusted gen. enral caused the Ethiopian legation here to express at once the fear that 1t was Halle Selassie Hugsa who was killed.
 Dispatches from the northern front agreed that Ethiopian raiders and guerilla fighters were harrass- ing the Italians day and night with considerable success.
 Guerilla Bands
 The Daily Chronicle correspond ent at Addis Ababa asserted that guerrilla bands were still crossing the Italians lines by night into Erit- req under 8 plan worked out by Ras Siyoum, commander on the north ern front and a brilliant tactician, to raid the vital railway that con- meet Asmara, the Eritrean capital and chief war base, and Masawa, the Eritrean port at which all SUD- plies for the northern army are re- ceived.

 and official figures" of the city election. However, the Republican credited School Commissioner Louis Bria, democrat, with polling 16,887 votes in Tuesdays balloting. The registrars office stated this morn ing that Commissioner Bria's vote was only 16,687. The Republicans so-called official figures this morning, therefore, were not official. Registrars of Voters Michael Slavin and Albert Taller were busy today making a re-check of the moderators' reports from the 20 voting districts, but they were sure that Cambigue had lost out for the board of aldermen and Attor- ney Miller had lost out for the board of education. It is a certainty that the democrats continue to con- trol every municipal board.
 Biggest Vote Getters
 In other words, the election is over and the democrats are in complete control of the city gov- ernment for another two years. Ed ward Goldberg was the biggest vote- getter among the democrats run- ming for the board of aldermen. For the republicans, Pasquale Per riello was the high man for the g.o.p. candidates for the aldermanic body.
 School Commissioner Nathan Freedman led the democratic can didates for the board of education in vote-getting power. Louis Lie beskind was the high man for the g.o.p. school board nominees. .
 In all 90 per cent of Waterbury's electorate exercised franchise rights Tuesday.

 Rome, Oct. 10.-(UP)-Italy will reply to Ethiopia's dismissal of the Italian minister to Addis Ababa by handing passports today to Ethio- plan legates to Rome and launching a new military drive toward Ethi- opia's heart, an official spokesman said today.
 At the same time the foreign of- flee spokesman and all the official press hinted strongly that Italy may soon withdraw from the League of Nations. The whole trend of official comment was toward a belligerence exceeding anything since Benitt Mussolini told 100000 Italians in last weeks test mobilization that war in Europe was a possibility. Italy Cons0lidates
 The Italian army in northern Ethiopia spent the last 24 hours consolidating its position and per- fecting communication lines. The official spokesman seized vigorously upon reports that the halt might be permanent.
 It cannot be concluded, he said, that Italy is satisfied with the cap- ture of Aduwa, Adigrat and other smaller northern Ethiopian points. He reiterated, however, the state ment that Italy is ready at any time to join conversations looking toward peaceful settlement which would do Italy complete justice"
 Resentment of the action of the League of Nations in ordering econ- omic penalties against Italy was country wide. Newspapers and off, cials spoke of it heatedly as league aggression"

that astonished the assemblymen themselves.

that astonished the assemblymen themselves.
 It was to be the first test for the dreaded article XVI of the league covenant, the penal article which was 50 strong that the United States refused to join the league that Woodrow Wilson inspired. @ The way was cleared for immed- fate penalties to be decided upon by a committee of 20-odd nations, in- cluding all members of the council except Italy-and by all of Italy's neighbor nations but Austria and Albania.
 The penalties, progressive in char acter, are expected to be in actual force within 8 few days. A meeting destined to make hiS- tory, the first mass effort in the world to impose the power of peo- ples on a war maker, was held in the huge hall of the Geneva Can- tonal Council, a hall arched over with a gray cloth canopy that gave it the incongrous effect of 8 circus tent.
 AlOisi Started Defense Baron Pompeo Aloisi, Italy's chief delegate, a veteran and skilfull dip- lomatist, opened the meeting with a final stand in Italy's behalf. For, weeks he had fought uncom- promisingly, tenaciously, defiantly against league opposition to Italy's policies.
 He charged, in an eloquent, force ful speech, that the league had been unfair, that 1t had used two J weights and two scales" in its work. that it had acted against Italy where it did not act against Japan in the Manchurian crisis, that 1t did not even consider Italy's complaints against Ethiopia.
 "Why not Japan?" He asked. "Why not Bolivia and Paraguay in the Gran Chaco war? Why Italy?"
 He read from manuscript, peering through horn trimmed Spectacies. Not One Hand Clap
 Those in the great hall listened in complete silence. It might have been empty. There was not 8 single hand clap when he finished. For 35 min- utes his voice rang through the hall.
 He folded his manuscript care- fully and descended the stairs from the tribune to his seat. It is custom ary for delegates to congratulate another who made an oration. None congratulated .Aloisi.
 It was Italy against 52 nations. ranging from Great Britain to the tiniest of nations to whom the league is a protector against ag- gression by big ambitious neigh bors.
 Aloisi filed 8 formal reservation against the assembly's procedure, but Edouard Benes of Czechoslova- kia. the assembly president frustra- ted 1t.
 He announced that of all the na- tions represented in the hall. only Austria and Hungary-whose troops of the Austro-H Hungarian empire poured across Italy's frontiers as enemies in the world opposed the report on which the league con- Ccmnation was based. There was nc other nation in opposition. he said land none announced abstention. | Italy was an outlaw. A quick
