Shoe Needs
When Baby
Is Walking
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
ZIP TO the time baby becomes
actively interested in walking a
soft -soled bootee or moccaSin-type
shoe is comfortable and suitable. But
when the child is making contact with
the hard-surfaced streets and side
walks his foot must be protected by
a stouter shoe and one with more
definite shape.
child the opportunity to make the
best possible use of the foot, un-
hampered by a covering. But the very
fragility of the shoe might hamper
walking, since it tends to twist about
on the child's foot.
The type of shoe recommended for
this early walking period may be Of
either the laced or buttoned type It
should be high shoe. The uppers
may be a soft and washable leather
or elkhide or of canvas. The sole
should be of thicker, but neverthe-
less a very flexible leather-soft
enough to bend double in the hand.
The shape must be the natural one
of baby's foot, broad, and with round
or medium square toes.
These first shoes are vitally i'm
portant. The right shoes, and there
need be only one pair at a time, since
baby tends to outgrow them rather
rapidly, will give baby the proper sup
port of the foot, which makes walking
easily possible.

Good Taste
Or Custom
On Campus
College Girls Ask Ques-
tions Which Are An
swered in Detail.
BY EMILY POST.

THE following are some questions in
list sent me by a member Of the
Women's Board of campus publica-
ton:
@. Is there a definite rule about how
soon man may or may not cut back
on girl he was dancing with?
A. A is never supposed to cut in on
B who cut in on him. But as soon as
c cuts in on B, A may cut in on C.
This rule is supposed to be unbreak-
able. But If B has danced with her
for an overlong time A can "cut In to
rescue" the girl, as well as to re-
lease B.
Q. Is it acceptable at college dance
for a man to cut in on girl to whom
he has not been introduced?
A. Not according to etiquette.
@. When introducing small college
groups is 1t best to use first and last
names, or the conventional titles?
A. Miss Smith, Mr. Jones" is cor
rect except when both are very inti-
mate friends of yours who certainly
know each other by name. Jane, this
is Half-back Jones'; then to him
Miss Jones"-or possibly Jane
Smith"
Q. Is it permissible to speak to a
person whom one meets repeatedly on
the campus, and who is a member of
one of your classes, although you have
never been formally introduced?
A. Yes. After noticing each other
day after day you'd naturally say
Good morning" Then somewhere,
some time. perhaps talk The best
rule is your own innate good sense
and SenSibility.
@. When meeting professors socially,
such as entertaining them at tea, does
one use the title professor" or
mister?
A. If he holds the title Of doctor" I"
call him that; otherwise, call him
professor" If he is an instructor, call
him mister"
@. If a man wishes to cut in on a
couple and the girl does not wish it,
does the girl or her partner refuse the
cut? What is the procedure for re-
fusal?
A. Girl shakes her head No" But,
as you know, this is considered very
rude. In certain communities there is
a custom that, on occasion, girl may
dance with her eyes closed, and this
means, do not cut in" Where this
is customary, the girl does, on occa-
sion, answer one who breaks this tabu,
MY eyes were shut" But dancing
with closed eyes is also rather rude, if
done as a habit. 1t is intended merely
to give those who particularly like to
dance together a chance to enjoy an
occasional uninterrupted dance.

NOW you are grown up and old
enough to realize your debt to
your parents, and you should have
enough honesty and justice about you
to want to begin paying it back. First

them for every sacrifice they have
made for you, how you hope to repay

The rhubarb tarts we're made by
lining small individual pie plates with
rich pie crust. A cup of sugar was
mixed with three tablespoonfuls -four.
Into the bottom Of each pie shell went
two or three spoonfuls of this mix
ture. Then fresh rhubarb, washed,
drained and cut into small pieces, was
piled in. Over it went two table
spoonfuls of sugar. The top was now
criss-crossed with pastry strips held in
place by moistening the rim of pie
crust at the points where the straps
weer fastened to it. The tartS were
put into hot oven, $50 degrees, for 10
minutes, then temperature was low
cred to $50. A lightweight pie tin
was put over the group of tarts to
keep the steam in and start the rhu-
barb cooking. This was done at the
end Of the first 10 minues. The tin
was removed after it had covered the
tarts for 20 minutes. Then baking
was finished, giving the straps q

Family Life
Is Modified
By Changes
Mothers May Long to
Go Into Desert in
Hunt for Peace.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THE present-day conditions have
made changes in many families.
Relatives who used to live at a dis
tance from each other now live in
the same house. Fathers and mothers
have had to close the old homestead
and go to live with sons and daughters.
Uncles and auntS have taken In
nephews and nieces and their children.
Fathers and mothers have taken their
married children home for a spell.
Family life has become more COM
plicated than it used to be. This is
having its effect on the children.
Everybody who has achieved matur-
ity of a sort seems to think it his
duty to help rear the children. Every
body speaks to the child and talks
about him, and in the confusion of
tongues the child's mother loses her
hold on her own ideas. "You should
not allow him to put his fingers in
his bowl. I never let my children
do that" why do you fuss about
his table manners? He is only baby"
So 1t goes from one to the other until
the mother longs to go into the desert
to find peace.
Some one of the guests is sure to
think teasing the little ones is great
fun. One genial soul watches the
child build a tower and as the last
block is set in breathless triumph and
success crowns the work out glides his
foot and the tower sways and falls
with crash. The child is astonished,
then grieved at the collapse of his
labor. The genial soul chuckles and
says: Build it up again and see if
it falls again." Mother, looking on,
bites her lip and turns away. If she
spoke there would be a family row
and there Is trouble enough. She must
wait and get the child away as soon
as may be.
Bedtime comes and the child does
not want to go. No child ever did.
Come" says mother, you see the
clock" "Oh, let him stay a while.
What difference does 1t make? Come
to me, Chicken. Don't mind your
mother. I'll save you"
But when the child grows weary
and irritable, wakes in the night and
cries, who bears the brunt of the
trouble? You are his mother, why
don't you look after him?"
It always comes to that. You are
his mother. Look after him. Don't
wait to have somebody tell you that.
Act on it the first occasion that makes
1t necessary. No mother has a choice
in the matter. She is responsible for
what the little one does and for
what IS done to him. There will have
to be settlement one time or another,
so the sooner the better.
Let 1t be known that while you are
a cheerful, kindly hostess as far as
In you lies, you will not permit any
body, not even the patriarch of the
family, to interfere with the rearing
of the children. It is your first re-
sponsibility. You will see it through
and allow all other duties to wait
upon it. There is no use in being
polite about such things. PolitenesS
does not help the baby or the young
ones trotting about the house when
the adults play with them to their
undoing. Speak right out, say your
say and let 1t be known that your
word on the care of the children is
final 1t will save great deal of
trouble later on.

BY LOIS LEEDS.

Y you cannot choose the eye
" color you prefer, nor can you
make small eyes large, but
there are number of other
ways in which you can make
your eyes more attractive.
If your problem is scanty lashes
that come out too freely, or If you
are much troubled with sites, or If
your eyelids are frequently red, you
should consult a psysician. Eye in
fecticns are easily contracted and the
consequent pus formation robs the
eyelashes of nutriment SO that they
fall out. Nothing mars the beauty
Of a face more than lashleSs eyes
with reddened lids, yet many girls
would rather try ineffective, super
ficial remedies for these conditions
than have their eyes examined and
perhaps have glasses prescribed
Girls often write to me about i'm
proving the appearance of their eyes
which are evidently suffering from
strain that their owners refuse to
recognize. II she can see we'll, a girl
takes for granted that her eyes do
not need to be examined even though
they may be painful and red. Those
with poor sight, however, are not the
only sufferers from eye strain. People
with perfect vision frequently abuse
their eyes, and so strain the muscles
of accommodation with serious re-
suits to the rest of the system. When
the eyes are unhealthy or unComfort-
able they are pretty sure to lose their

is to give them a bath in salt water

warm and sop it on with clean alb

water on the closed lios several times
This is good treatment to take at
the close of the day when the eyes
have been used for close work for
hours or when they have been ex-
posed to the dust and glare of travel
Eye makeup can do a lot for the
appearance of the eyes, but be careful
not to overdo it. Remember that eye
shadow used in the daytime has a
tendency to make one look i'll, but
under artificial light it helps to bring
out the eye color. Long, curling, dark

there is no reason to despair, however
Light lashes may be darkened tempo

The shell must be clean, sound and
normal. The air cell must not ex-
ceed one-eighth of an inch in depth
and must be regular. The yolk must
be we'll centered, its outline indiStinct

be free from germ spot or any other
defect or blemish. The white must
be firm and clear.
OF course, the grades below the top
do not measure up quite so well on
these points. but are wholesome and
generally useful for cooking purposes
other than poaching, coddling or boil
ing. There are special classiflcations
for eggs that are more or less dirty
(dirty eggs spoil sooner than clean
ones) and for eggs with checked or
cracked shells. The color of the shell
however, whether white or brown
means nothing as to the quality OF
the egg, but is merely the market pref

Boston likes them brown-like its
bread!
Around Easter time nearly all
stores and markets feature special
inexpensive eggs for the children to
dye for egg-rolling. These eggs are
brought from last years cold storage,
as a rule, especially for this purpose.
It is not advisable to eat them. and
the children should be cautioned
about this. But they fill their des-

gayly colored like the rainbow, they
roll down green-grassed slopes to pro-

Home Economics of the Department
of Agriculture has some helpful Sug-
gestions on the selection of eggs when
purchasing. Many dealers now buy
and sell eggs entirely by United States
Government standards of quality as
graded by official egg graders. There
is no law requiring the grading OF
eggs in this way, but egg producers
and dealers can obtain the services
of the Government egg graders if
they desire them.
The grading is done al the packing

to the retail stores in cartons sealed
with a label certifying the grade and
the date. The label carries the words,

in Nebraska's population may cause
the Legislature trouble when 1t at
tempts to redistrict the State for the
unicarmeral (one-houSe) Legislature,
says DR.. John P. SEEMING Of the Uni
versity Of Nebraska. DR.. SEEMING as
sisted Senator George w. Norris in the
battle that led to adoption Of the
amendment creating the one-house
Legislature.
After weeks Of study, DIR. SEEMING
says he is convinced the most nearly

State according TO population would
call for AZ members in the one-house
group which begins in 1887. During
his study, he tried almost every num-
Der between 80 and so, the member
ship limits established in a constitu-
tional amendment, and was convinced
that AZ members was the fairest.
THE fact that Nebraskas popula-
tion is centered in the east also pre-
sents a problem, DR.. SEEMING said.
Inability to divide counties will cause
some of the districts to be larger than
others. and some to be smaller. Ne
braska'S constitution, however, pro-
hibits the division of counties, except
in counties where there are two or
more Representatives"
Community Of interests and trans
portation facilities must be taken into
consideration in fixing the legislative
districts, the political science instruc-
