What The Doctor Says BY DR. s. J. CRUMBINE, GENERAL EXECUTIVE AMERICAN CHILD HEALTH ASSOCIATION

there is any danger of Johns get, ting 1t?" I replied that if 1t was measles, he undoubtedly had been exposed, and so had all the other children.
 "Is there anything we can 60, Doctor?" asked Mrs Johnson ''or do we just have to wait and seer" "Yes, there is something we can do," replied, "but first we had better be sure that 1t IS measles that Mollie has. You know the early symptoms of several diseases are very similar. You are sure to get a more definite report tomor- row or next day."
 'T suppose I had better k eep John home from school in the meantime" said Mrs Johnson; but I told. her there seemed to be no immediate necessity; he had al- ready been exposed.
 You said there was something we could do, Doctor, what did you mean?" she inquired. "As soon as we know that Mollie really has got measles" l replied, i've will give this young man the new protective treatment. By the way, suppose you have had measles yourself?" I asked. "I had 1t when was ten," replied Mrs Johnson, "the only contagious disease ever did have. But what is the new treatment? Can you prevent measles as you can diphtheria?"
 Mot as completely" I replied, and seeing that John was complete ly absorbed in the picture book I had lent. him, continued: "An in- lection of blood drawn from the vein of an adult who had measles yourself for instance, will probably protect him for three or four weeks, provided it is given within four days after the exposure. It is not complete protection. because some children have measles in spite of the injection, but in those cases 1t is a very mild attack, and then the child is never In danger of having the disease again."
 "Is there any risk about it--for John, I mean?" asked Mrs John son. "None whatever" l assured her; Fit is very simple matter:
 Let me warn you," went on, ''to watch John carefully; you need not isolate him at present. but OOnL leL uliI1 swap OitCc VI AVU0 with the other children, or ex- change handkerchiefs or share 2 towel. And, after a week has gone by, I advise keeping him apart from the others until you know how things are going. It takes ten or eleven days for any symptoms to develop, but as measles is most contagious when 1t first appsars as cold, and before there is any rash visible, you had better isolate him well before that period comes en." ''Indeed will" Johns mother assured me. At this point, the iit- | tie boy ran across the room to show me a picture of his. favortte train. He has such complete con- fidence in me and he Is such a sturdy little chap, that l am sure , there will be no fuss when it comes | to making the prick in his arm for | the injection.

 "The Blue Moon Barbee-Q" was long, low structure with a coun- ter running the length of the room. -Its surface was polished and scrup- ulously clean. Brian and Gale were the only customers. They sat on high stools before the counter and youth in a white coat and cap brought them steaming cups of coffee and thick, hot sandwiches.
 Mustard" the youth behind the counter asked.
 "No-no mustard" Gale told him.
 The sandwiches were appetizing, the coffee as fiayorsome as 1t was fragrant. The warm, brightly-light- ed room, after the storm outside, seemed d haven of comfort.

 Radio in this country is largely devoted to the promotion of quackery and nostruns. A sufficient proportion or the population is credulous and gullible enough to believe anything that may be said with the right air of authority, and the broadcasting interests k now how to put that air in their nos- trum and quackery business.
 There is another side of this evil in Yankeeland. once sucker has been thoroughly buncoed by fake doctor or specialist" it is human nature for the poor goof to feel ashamed of the affair and to say nothing more about it-that Is, when he realizes at Ia s that there is no recourse, no way to make the crook pay back the money of which he has defrauded the moron.
 Better business Bureaus some times succeed in forcing fair ad- justment when 0 business firm has taken advantage of a customer. Attorneys sometimes obtain judg- ments for clients who have been the victims of malpractice. But when you deal with these cheap radio or newspaper or magazine charlatans who promise all sorts of cures or benefits and tell you how good they are, at so much an inch or a minute. you are out of luck when it come sto getting justice. In Yankeeland this medical racket is all fixed and so are the authori-, ties who purport to administer the law.

 "If you were to be forced to live on @ desert island for a year and could take only one beauty item with you, what would you choose" a well know actress was asked the other day. She thought moment and then replied. several cases of toilet soap."
 Her answer, 1t seemed to me, was most sensible. Some may argue that, under a scorching sun, cream would come in pretty handy and they're right of course. But, pray tell, what would be worse than trying to get along for months without soap?
 Naturally, this mythical prob lem needn't cause anyone much concern. If you had to live on an island, you probably wouldn't be consulted about your personal needs. And if you went because you wanted to live there, you'd be able to take an adequate supply of everything. We are interest ed simply because the screen stars answer indicates clearly that one great. beauty gives soap and water a good deal of credit for her lovely complexion.
 There are a few girls with sen- sitive, thin skins that are irrita- ted by soap. They, of course, should use only fine creams and lotions for cleansing. The majority, how ever, ought to use soap and water

 The coupe came to a stop and the door opened. A mans voice called, "Want 8 ride east? Be glad to take you--"
 Gale stepped forward. She couldn't stand there in the sleet and cold for four hours; that was certain. She tried to see the man in the car but his face was in dark ness.

 Paris (UP)-Born, but not to blush unseen, seems to be the 1895 trend in decolletages. And this goes for the feet as well as bosoms and backs!
 A hundred or so years ago ladies blushed at the sight of shapely ankle (even their own), while thinking nothing of wearing an off, the-shoulder gown of brocade or taffeta that was so far off that many sturdy heart failed few beats in regarding it. But the worm turns and today we cover up to our ears and let the rest of the body go by.
 Thus the center of decollete shifts, and Lanvin makes a high-necked evening gown, whose short bodice Is joined to a long pleated skirt by one--and only one --jeweled clip, the waist being otherwise uncovered. With things like this going on right under our very noses. life is just one gasp after another.
 While we haven't seen 'em | with our own personal eyes (which are the only ones a girl can trust at this season of the year), they do tell Us that evening skirts are

 CHILDREN
g. Oiws Roberts Bsrtoe :.

Very often in a family there is a preferred child. Parents are likely to refute this statement and honestly enough, too, because they will not admit the truth even to themselves. A mother or father would be mortified to think there is any difference in their feelings toward their children.
 However, 1t so happens, with out any reflection on them, that individuality and personality count in our relationships with children, ones own not accepted, as 1t goes with other people. It is just as well not to acknowledge it, as it hap pens, because the less we accent this difference the better for every body concerned. It is bitter thing for Mary to discover that her mother loves PJohnny best. And a cruel thing for Johnny to know that his father has much softer spor for his sister than for him.
 Young Do Not Sense Favoritism
 Now tiny children are not apt to sense any shading of difference in their treatment, if it happens to exist. But there is an import ant matter along this line that definitely affects the pre-school child.
 I think it can best be illustrated by taking a family I knew pretty well and what happened with the middle child.
 There were three children. All of them had illnesses, and serious ones, but the oldest and youngest got betted without much dramati- zation. ..
 Every time Clare got sick he was babied and petfited consider ably. He was not sick much often- CT than the others, but in some i way 1t rung his mama's heart uJst a little more. She would talk about her "poor Cloddy" and how he , just got everythin.
 And as is the way after almost any sickness with little ones, he esca ped the general discipline of the house a good bit of the time | In his case these intervals were | heightened. And little tasks the others had to face and accept were never assigned him. Discipline in his case was relaxed. Sister and Brother, Too
 He was not spoiled as much ai one might think. however. He had a naturally sweet disposition and an ingrained sense of justice that saved him, His sister and brother instead of resenting him, learned that he must be treasured. They too, tok up the poor Cloddy' theme. And the cousins and tn, aunts. He grew up to be health, fine boy. But the family hardi, ever mentinoed his name withou
 that affectionate poor" attached to it.
 | In time he was the one choseI for an education. Not that he wa
 better qualified, but the effort wal Concentrated on him.

fine woman). The other chuld- ren married and so did he. They had their struggles and their trib- ulations. But every time something happenel to 'poor Cloddy". 1t spread through the family. Just one more trial for the unlucky lad. Deep signs.
 Now Resents Easy Childhood
 He hated 1t. Still hates 1t. believe he resents 1t more nav than ever. He sees that this too ready sympathy undermined his self reliance. For long years 1t put him in the baby class. Now he looks back and sees that he be- came q fatalist, without the spirit to fight when he needed to fight. Had he not been of rather good stun the experience would have been ruinous. As for his mother, she herself suffered too much and too often, vicariously, through this favored child. It could have been spared her.
 Be sure that this will always happen if emontion concentrates too abnormally on one child. It cannot always be helped, but when a mother examines herself And
 knows the situation, she can gener- ally do something about it. ] l(Copyright 135 NEA Servise lnc3

 8. It depends upon whether the schools are left free to teach the real facts of government, .busi-
 ness, politics, war, peace, etc. As pointed out by Howard K. Beale, quoting from leading Souther- ner, had the teachers of the South been free to teach the truth about slavery, secession and the old plantation system the Civil Whf would probably have been avert ed. I do not think this- fully covers the case. The schools of the north should have been equal

1. This was widely debated dur ing the Hauptmann trial, the main argument being that the wife owes a larger duty to society than to her husband. However, the spirit of English law has been that the relationship of husband and wife Is so intimate that 1t violates human nature to force her to tes- tify. My own conviction is that If society is not competent to find the truth without violating the most sacred of ali relationships it should remain in ignorance and the crime go unpunished.

Piles Co Quick
Without saIves or Outtlng


 Thousands of sufferers from itch- ing, bleeding or protruding piles have learned that quick and lasting relief can be accomplished with an internal medicine. Neither salves nor cutting remove the cause.
 Bad circulation of the blood In the lower bowel causes piles. The veins are fiabby. the bowel walls weak-the parts 1ifeless. To end Piles an internal medicine should be used to stimulate the circulation and restore the affected parts.
 pr J. s. Leonhardt was the first to discover a real internal Pile remedy. He called his prescripti ton HEM-ROID, and prescribed 1t for hundreds of patients with a mar yeloug record Of success and then decided every Pile sufferer should be able to get HEM-RQID tablets from their own druggist with Q rigid money back guarantee. :. So why waste time on external remedies or worry about an 0perN- ton when Apokhecarfes Hall Coa says No matter what Kind of PiIes you have, one botfic of AEM-HOxp tablets must show you the safe clean way to get rid of your Pile misery or money back"
