With his eyes gently closed. 1t

often displayed-co1ld not be
erased from the minds of the
few privileged to see him lying in
a bronze but plain casket, de-

He seemed so natural-dresSed
in his usual blue serge suit, a
plain tie-and still that smile
that seemed to witch at his lips.

good or bad results in the off, spring would seem to be a tenable conclusion" I am confident this represents the consesus of com petent opinion on this much dis puted subject.
 3.-Just now this is a hotly deba- ted question all over the country and I think the proper answer Is suggested by T. E. Williams. Su- perintendent Lawrenceville, N. J. Township Schools. He argues that if 'supcrviscd study" were made n definite part of the school cur ricuium there would not only be little need for home study but it would enable the student. when out of school, to employ the time in a much better way. As he points out few pupils have any idea how to study effectively, and few tea chers know how to teach the best study methods.

normal saliva, which is a fair elec- trolyte, completes a galyanic bat. tery.
 Young man complained of sore tongue of several months duration and of metallic taste. On one side and underneath his tongue was whitish-gray patch, opposite the so-called hygienic fixed bridge of gold. Two similar patches ap- peared on the lining of the cheek. The young man smoked pack of cigarets Q day. At first the doctor regarded the patches as smokers patches, but they remained un, changed after the smoking was stopped.
 Then. the doctor learned that the sores had come shortly after the hygienic fixed bridge was placed in the mouth. On removal of this denture all tlSc sores disappeared The young man had several amal- gam filings in his teeth. Later the same gold bridge was replaced and within a week the sores re- turned on tongue and cheek lining, and the natalie taste again be- came noticeable. The bridge was again removed, and within q week the metallic taste disappeared and the mouth has remained normal since. Dr Lester Hollander report- ed this case and two similar ones. He attributed the trouble to tho presence iS the normal saliva Ct two dissimilar metals, saliva being g, fair electrolyte, 50 that a gall vanic battery is completed.
 This will interest a great many persons who have gold and anal gam filings or other dentures and are troubled with so called aph- thous stomatitis or inflammation of the mouth with minute vesicles or "canker sores" or with lcuko- plakia--white patches, smokers' patches. Generally 1t IS easier and better to have amalgam filings re- placed with gold inlays.
 Another not uncommon and usually unsnspected cause of ra- curing ulcers or canker sores in the mouth Is the habitual taking of laxatiyes containing phenolph- thaIein.
 still a third cause of sore gums particularly is a deficiency of vita. min c in the diet. It is well tc supplement the diet with tomato juice or citrus fruit juice or other fresh fruit or vegetables when tie gums seem spongy, tender and bleed easily.

NEW YORK. " Gloves with lN wired cuffs and bows that you can twist into various shapes to suit your every mood and fancy are the ones you'll love the m ost this spring. Crinoline cuffs, they are called. But to you, the wearer, they'll probably be fun cuffs -- things that will make your friends comment and admire.
 There are suave street models of glace kid and practical suede with plain braided crinoline cuffs that are decorative, but tailored; and dressier afternoon types with larger bows that you can sit and twirl into rabbits ears whenever your tea companions conversa- ton leans too much toward stock market quotations. You'll like these eight-button lengths that wrinkle fatteringly below the cuffs of your smart spring suit.
 Sports Models Lace Up
 The new sports gloves are just as novel. Laced and tied up with strips of leather in contrasting tones, they make you want to step right out and buy swagger coat and a suit of mannish tweed. One particularly nice sports glove, shown here at the lower right today, is in natural pigskin with Iacings of dark brown.
 Next to it is an afternoon ere ation of dark blue suede with wiring around the top and a wired bow that can be trained in any direction. The long white glove for formal occasions has this sarle type of top.
 Then, of course, for those who don't go in for the novel aspects of this fashion game, there are simple designs. enlivened only by touch of stitching that takes them out of the so-so class. For instance. the dark blue model of glace kid. shown at lower left.
 Ascot and Glove Sets
 In the main. however, you'll do well to stick to the unusual this spring, at least as far as your gloves are concerned.
 Anyway, you'll have 8 hard time resisting such original CT re : ations as the street glove (upper right in sketch) of white buck suede with its matching lacings that run straight up the back. Likewise the white glove just be- low 1t. This one has novelty stitching and braid in black.
 Furthermore. don't overlook the taffeta gloves that are teamed up with Ascots. The set here Oeft comes in fine white cheeks on a navy blue background.

When you send lovely plant as an Easter gift, don't spoil the effect with an ugly pot. It takes but few minutes to make an orr dinary clay pot as gay as the one shown in the picture. A covering of sparkling Cellophane and a sp1ashing bow of crystal-clear rib- bon bring it into harmony with the spring blossoms.
 Cut a square of the transparent wrapping 20 by 20 inches, place the pot in the center of the square and mold the square into shape around the pot with ha1f-incb pieats secured at the top with bits of Scotch tape. Tie the crisp cell lulose film around the stems of the plants and allow it to flare out in points. Then encircle the rim of the pot with transparent ribbon. tying it firmly and leaving short ends. The manly-looped bow is made separately afd fastened to these ends with double knot. There's an extra touch of artistry in the design of the ribbon. It has flower-pot motif, in repeat pat tern-absolutely perfect for the purpose.

Paris (UP)-Patent-leather and lowered prints find each others company verX fiattering these days
 Mrs Paul Mum has bought a black and white lowered dress from Molyneux. with, which she wears a wide black patent-leather belt. The dress IS a mass of pleats and is worn with q black tweed af- ternoon coat, belted only in the back with black patent-leather.
 Another afternoon ensemble she has comprises a green tweed coat and a bright colored crepe dress. Both dress and coat have shirred collars. As a more dressy ensemble we suggest black crepe outh; with large dots in white. It has a shirred effect around the neck and on the back and front of the skirt.
 Navy blue for mide-morning is good, in Q light weight wool with small collar fastened by a white organdie bow. Gathered bands on the bodice and full skirt add to the youthfulness of the frock.
 White dotted black organza is a striking material for evening. It has gathers on the hips which give graceful fullness to the skirt. The neckline is draped and rather decollete back and front.
