 "There" said Ruth, handing 1t back. II don't believe they've any idea of pensioning you off. Penny. Quit worrying!" ..
 Penny was nodding her head in relief. I'll take the check right down to the bank" she said. T haven't been down town for about three months. I've got to lay in some staples at the grocery store. I'd be obliged if you'd keep house for me while I'm gone?"
 "Of course I will" Ruth assured her. "Give me that cloth and let me finish dusting. Then you can get ready and go right away"
 When Penny came down a bit later, hated and coated for the oc- casion and wearing overshoes and an anxious expression, 1t was evil dent that this trip "to town" was an important event in her life. As- tually she left the house only four times a year, and that was for the purpose of banking her quarterly check. Pausing before she went out the door, she said to Ruth ear- nestly, "I won't be gone more'n an hour and half, all told. If any, body comes here askin' for me- askin' for me by name, I mean will you have 'em come in and waltz"
 "Why, yes," Ruth answered, "of course. Can you manage all right at the street crossings, Penny?"
 Bertha nodded. I'm careful, and l use my mbrella for a cane. I never have any trouble that way"
 On a highway leading from a southerly direction a small, un- noticeable automobile had just picked up mai land blown a tire. The car, travelling rapidly at the time, was thrown smartly across the road and was partially wedged between tree and fence.
 The driver, it's sole occupant, re- covering from the shock of the im- pact, lifted himself from the steer ing wheel and rubbed his chest. His prodding hand found a sore rib that made him vince with pain. From a cut on his palm blood was trickling. He was the man who, some time before, had escaped from q place where the criminally insane are detained.
 Climbing cautiously from the car. John Smith inspected the damage done. He could, he decided, extri- cate his car without help if the engine still ran. But first he must change the tire which had blown out. This he proceeded to do, get ting the tools from the place he knew them to be. and applying the jack with fumbllng, unaccustomed fingers. It took him all of an hour to do this. At last, weary from his exertions, he sat on the running board and smoked cigaret while his mind wrestled with his prob lens. .t. His hand had started to bleed again. He wrapped the blood

diets 2000 miles up the Yangste River in China, and found the na- lives had followed the same diet and living conditions for over 5000 years. Their teth had remained perfect, despite the meagre diet and the squalid living conditions. These investigators attributed the good teeth of those Chinese to the fact that they subsist primarily on whole corn meal which is not re- fined or processed in any way, and chemical analysis showed that this undenaturized food contains an adequate amount of calcium and phosphorus and considerable vita min. Of course the Chinese derive much vitamin from eggs. But the point I wish to emphasize here is that a natural diet sems to pre- serve the teeth of these semi-civi- lized people who have neither toothbrushes nor dentists.
 Then the natives of the South At lantic Tristan da Cunha, who have never used toothbrushes or received any dental care, were found to have remarkably good teeth, in fact 131 of 156 individuals examined, all ages from g. few months to 92 years, were entirely free from den- tai decay. That is incomparably better than any civilized tooth brushing community can possibly show. These simple folk live main ly on soft food-no hard tack, no gnawing of bones. Their simple staple diet consists of potatoes, fish. milk and eggs, meat only on high days or hilidays, flour. tea and gro- ceries brought by visiting ships are eaten only while they last. Large quantities of milk and cream are used, but there are frequent periods of shortage in these.
 Whether grandma's teeth were better than yours depends entirely upon whether grandma's diet was more natural and less refined than yours.

PARIS STYLES By MARY CENTRESS

Paris - U.P) - Hand-knit clothes are adaptable to the mould ed youthful silhouette of 1885, and they no longer are limited to sports clothes alone, for several knit houses fashion afternoon and din- ner dresses of shining yarns that give the effect of lame.
 A great deal of versatility Is shown in the weaves and several patterns frequently are combined in two and three piece suits. For ex- ample, a knit costume will consist of a skirt in a flecked wool made to look like brown twed while lacy stitch will be used to fashion a cream and two-toned brown scarf in plaid will be knitted in still a third pattern.
 One attractive costume con- sists of skirt in a deep hunters green. The material is hand knit but has been cut and gored to fit perfectly. The blouse of chartreuse green is slashed in squares at the hips below dark green leather belt. The blouse neck likewise is squared with turn-back revers and Q scarf of vermillion red is tied like n stock high at the throat with the ends tucked inside the squared blouse opening.
 With this Is worn one of the new thimble hats in dark green felt with q folded crown and two-and- a-half inch brlm turned up in back and down in front. Two quills. one chartreuse green and one red. are pulled forward on the crown.

RED RIDING HOODS GRAND.
 MAS TEETH

Some people say that our grand mothers had less totache and more perfect teeth than we have to-day. In standardization of this conten- ton they cite examples among their parents, grandparents or old friends. I am inclined to doubt this claim. What do you say? (S. V. S.)
 Frankly I don't know about grandmas teeth. Are the teeth in question your grandma's or your grandson's grandma's?
 had thought that toothache, like cholera morbus and gout, had become almost extinct. Nowadays people have enough intelligence to seek dental treatment before the tooth is sufficiently damaged to ache.
 Half century ago a fairly large portion of the population still in- cluded a fair amount of undenatur- ized foods in their diet, and kept their teeth fairly sound.
 In my opinion brushing the teeth has nothing to do with the question of conservation of the teeth. It Is a nutritional question primarily. and a question of regular dental inspec- ton and treatment secondarily. If perfectly natural nutrition were att tainable probably no dentistry would be required, but it IS prac- tically impossible in civilized life to follow a natural dietary regimen without frequent lapses to refined foods. .,,es M

 ROMANCE STORY

Northampton, Mass, Jan 30-- (UP)-Hometown friends of Mrs Grace Goodhue Coolidge insisted today that she had no matrimonial plans, despite widely published reports that the attractive, 56- year-old widow of the former pres ident was about to wed again. Mrs Coolidge herself is at Slick Rock, Columbus, N. C., where she IS spending the winter with Mrs Y. B. Adams, one of her Northampton friends. She has not commented on the matter.
