The importance of swimming and beach bathing in our modern life and the interest of smart wo- men in meticulous grooming from head to toe have made pedicures almost as desirable as naanicures. This is a year when toes that wrig- gle in the sand or splash through the waves should be glorified to match fingernails.
 When you are ready to give yourself home pedicure, get out your regular manicuring equip ment, plenty of cotton, & small, very stiff brush and a metal push CT, designed especially to remove dry skin and stubborn cuticle around the edges of toenails.
 First of all, cut the nails straight across and smooth them down with an emery board. Then soak one foot in warm, soapy water, rub oil around the edges of the nails and begin to work with the pusher. Don't be too energet- ic. It's better to leave rough edge here and there than to injure delicate skin.
 Lemon Removes Discolorations
 Discolorations can be removed with the juice of a fresh lemon. Callouses should be rubbed gently with a piece of pumice stone. Don't attempt to cut corns or to treat bunions yourself. This a job for a professional foot doctor. If you have yellowish streaks under the nails, wrap a bit of cotton around an orange stick, dip 1t in peroxide and apply.
 While you are putting the fin- ishing touches on one foot, soak the other in soapy water. Then treat it like you did the first. When nails are smooth, short and even, cuticle pushed and discolora- tions removed, put largo pieces of cotton between the toes and use liquid polish.
 If you wear bright polish on your fingernails, cover toenails with the same kind. If not, use a vivid shade on feet just the same. Begin at the outer edge of the lit- tie half moon and cover the entire nail, including the tip. If small drops spill over the cuticle, wipe them off immediately. Dent re- move the cotton from between toes until the polish is thoroughly dry.
 Massage Feet with Creams
 Massaging the feet with cream is the last but by no means an inn portant step. Use a special foot cream, an oil or some of your regular tissue cream. Rub the cream between your palms and, beginning at the toes, massage up- ward to the ankles. Don't stop until both feet are relaxed and comfortable and until some of the cream has been asorbed. Then wipe carefully and pat with skin tonic or an astringent to remove all grease.
 If you use good polish and apply it carefully, you shouldn't have to give your feet complete beauty treatment more often than once every three weeks. You should, howver, massage them with cream at least twice a week.

1. As pointed out in Eugcnical
 News, many soldiers. killed in the
 War, were identified solely by their
 finger prints and thus their insur-
 ance, otherwise lost went to their
 families. It is especially dangerous for people travelling alone not to have their finger prints registered Somewhere. Several large Women's Clubs have recently adopted the creed, s'We shall work for univer- sal finger-printing and registra- fion." As I stated recently all new born babies should have their feet and their mothers fingers printed .rn the same card. This would make ucix-up impossible.

: R Oese Roberls RarAoa .
R ee.seeS a

This summer, after buying a toy for little friend, my three-year- old grandson, was on, my way out of the store when I noticed a milk bottle on a counter, paper topped, the cover slit neatly to re- ceive coins. A small card an- nounced that the Milk and Ice As- sociation would welcome contri- buttons for babies.
 There were a few nickels and coppers in. the bottom, and I felt very virtuous squeezing in a quar- ter.
 After all," thought, q don't know these store people. Anyone can put out a milk bottle." Then suddenly ashamed, I went back and increased the ante. There is one thing people do not do," was my reaction to this unworthy thought. "They don't steal from babies!"
 I slapped to look at some string purses. Beside this table was an- other, with more expensive bags. A beautifully-dressed lady was considering which of two beauties she would take, one priced four dollars and one five. She decided on the five.
 Problem in Economy Then I was waited on. My rec- ollection is that the other woman
 passed that bottle without seeing it. What has been in my mind ever since is this: if she had seen 1t, and had not previously dropped in a coin, would she have bought a quart of milk for some child, or a days worth of ice? Could she
 have borne it to buy dollar cheaper purse for herself and risked some change in the name of hungry infants?
 Oh, yes. I know. Perhaps her husband had given a thousand
 dollars to the community chest. Perhaps she herself was a service
 worker. Perhaps she had given five dollars to the fund at the hotel for the same purpose as the "counter-fund." Any or all of
 these things could be true. What interested me was my own conjecture about human nature and about spending. The differ ence of a dollar or so on self be- comes infinitesmal so often, but
 a dollar to the distressed or dying
 assumes such mountainous pro- portions.
 Societies who are rescuing little
 children from tenements to give
 them a breath of the country for a week have difficult time to pay for even a small fraction of the numbers who should go. We know there are many such organizations but unless directly approached we do not take the trouble to look them up and offer our bit. Not everybody but so many of us are busy and forgetfu1.
 We don't like to offer mite, but 1t is small amounts that make such humane work possible. am
 not begging for cause. am saying that if any brother or sister can spare dime, it's perfectly swell idea to pool them until a dollar or two is raised and then mail it to any "milk-and-ice" or
 vacation" organization in any city you choose, be it your own town or not. Some place in the world one more baby, or one more child, will have a sweeter time of it.

 Good morning, .pubby," Jo cried gaily, masking her gloom. 'I'd have asked you to go hiking with me - but I know how you like to sleep"
 Hubby nodded. Especially on morning after a dance. What made you skip out so early last night? I stayed until the orches- tra put their instruments away"
 "I managed to take on a head ache" Jo said. "I went out for breath of air, but that didn't do any good. So tried sleep."
 'Well, you look fine this morn ing" Hubby told her. By the way, went up to your room a while ago and saw a notice on the door saying there was a spe- cial delivery letter for you at the desk"

 Jo hurried to the desk and re- ceived the letter. As she had sus- pected, it was from Weston, and addressed in her fathers familiar handwriting. Feverishly Jo slit open the envelope.
 Unable to wait until Jo had finished the letter, Hubby burst out, Anything wrong, Jo?"
 Jo shook her head, hurriedly scanning the letter through. "No it's good news, Tubby!" Smil- ing happily, Jo folded the letter and slipped 1t into the pocket of her jacket. Dad got ms JoD at the state house. The one he was planning on when he sold the store."

Housing Hints Tips on How and What
 to Improve
Q. What temperature should maintain in rom while am war;

o. What temperature should I maintain in rom while am var- nishing the woodwork?
 A The temperature of the room, the work, and the varnish should not be less than 70 degrees. The air should be free from dust. A quick drying varnish reduces the possibility of injury from dust. Do not shake the can of varnish. Air bubbles will form and cause imperfections in the work.
 Q. Is there any way I can give a plain clear glass a frosted glass effect? I have tried paint but that shuts off the light.
 A. A frosted glass effect may be produced by the application of tis- sue paper. Remove all grease from the glass with alcohol or some similar grease solvent. Cut the tis- sue paper to fit the glass. and ap- ply spar varnish thinned with one- fourth as much turpentine. The paper will stick to the glass and will be waterproof.
 Q. What size gutters and lead- CTS should I use for n roof which Is approximately twenty by forty feet?
 A. For all but exceptionally heavy downpours, full drainage will be provided by leader with one square inch of area for each z.a h,,odrad opA fiftv a0nara feet of area drained. Cutters should be of corresponding size. At least five and one-third square inches should be provided for draining a twenty by forty foot roof.
 Protect the leader against clog ging with leaves and other mater ial with a wire cage at the intake. It is advisable to protect the inside of the gutters with tar or liquid asphalt roofing cement. The out side should also be kept painted If the material Is corrosive.

At present the entire fighting

now in Chesapeake Bay waters
