watches have. 1t is q key wtnder'
the key being almost as large as
the watch itself. No jewels were
used In the works Of watches at
that period. and the metal used
was brass. The ring was appraised
by a Houston jeweler at $1,000 for
insurance purposes. Mrs. Newman

Moderation
Should Be
Encouraged
Protect Young by
Teaching Restraint
at Early Age.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

DA EAANoGAo L "a AANAs
CHILDREN have to be protected be-
cause they are too inexperienced,
or too weak, too immature to help
themselves There is very little trouble
with them in this respect until they
reach the teens. 1t is then that we
have to protect them from themselves
and they resent our efforts bitterly.
Children in their teens have no
understanding of the need for protect
ing their health. They want to eat
what is not good for them. they are
likely to overdo all the things they
like to do and underdo anything
that puts restraint upon them, dis
ciplines them in any way. Il want,
seems to be sacred in their eyes.
Young people in their teens are
not to lose too much sleep, eat too
much of the trimmings they like so
well. Pickles and sweets and hot dogs
must be used with discretion, and
when did youth have discretion? They
must not drink strong liquors. Their
bodies cannot stand the abuse. Pro-
longed excitement is bad for young
people. Again there must be modera-
ton. Youth is characteristically i'm
moderate, and it needs so much to be
moderate. There is only one thing
to do, protect youth against itself.
It is a hard struggle, but We have
to undergo whatever punishment it
brings. tuberculosis strikes youth
hard. Girls especially must be on
guard against it and be moderate in
all their ways.
There are certain children who can
not eat certain foods. They like those
foods. Again we must protect them
against themselves and do our best
to keep anything that hurts them of
their menu. Some cannot smoke with
out injury to their throats, or their
hearts or their nerves. They must
learn to forego the pleasure because
it is not worth the price it eXacts.
Health is more important than smokes.
Athletics are good for all children,
but some athletic sports are not good
for some children. These children
must be protected against thier love of
these activities. Every human being
has certain handicaps. Nobody can
be 100 per cent in any field.
Boys dislike wearing hats. Many
of them can get along perfectly well
without them. The boy with a bad
ear, however, needs to guard that
weak spot. His mother warns him to
pull his cap over his ear when the
temperature is low or when the wind
blows. Such a child sometimes will
take of his cap, put it in his pocket
and march along proudly with the
other hatless youngsters. That night
he has an earache. The experience
Is likely to teach him all that his
mother tried to teach when she told
him to protect his ear and gave him
a cap especially suited for that pur-
pose.
Such experiences are costly to both
children and parents. When a child
suffers his parents must suffer with
him. The best they can do is to
protect him as much as they can
for as long as they can until he learns,
either through habit enforced by
supervision or by experience upon him.
self by himself. In either case the
parent suffers, but that Is the usual
lot of parents. Their joy comes in
their children's triumph over their
handicaps. Pain is forgotten in the
warmth of success.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPROwLs.

WHAT is a personality anyway
w And how do you tell one kind
from another? How many kinds are
there? If you can answer these ques-
tions systematically ard accurately,
you may call yourself an expert, every
day student of human nature.
Just to help some of you make
ural wonders, will answer the first
question as follows: A personality is
q person who acts the same way so
often that you may predict how he
will act the next time he goes into
action.
And now for the second question.
The definition means that you can
never know what sort of personality
q person possesses until you have had
the opportunity to study this person
under a variety of situations. The
more the better. Snap judgments are
generally unreliable; If they are cor
rect, it is only by accident. One thing
Is certain. You can't rely much on
faces, eyes, jaws, or the shape OF the
head or body. And as for horoscopes.
they mean absolutely nothing at all.
Repeated behavior is the only reliable
guide to personality, which has rightly
been called the riddle Of the universe.
AS to the third question, there is
no answer. Hundreds have tried 1t.
If you merely glance at a list Of the
types that have been proposed, you
find a list of names and nothing more.
Names don't mean much when it
comes to studying human beings. No
matter what name you give type. you
still know nothing OF the private
notions which make 9resons into
personalities.

Dorothy Dix Says
Beware the Man Who Is Stubborn or
Selfsh-He Will Be Poor Husband.

Solomon in all his glory while their
wives wore hand downs. have
seen them drive their cars downtown
and leave them in parking place
all day, while their wives walked or
dragged little children around on
street cars. I have seen them 60
of nightly to places of amusement or
to parties, while their wives stayed at
home and took care of the children.
I know one Of these selfish hus-
bands who is always complaining OF
his wife's Ill health and how much
the doctors bills cost, and who ac-
tually feels that he Is the aggrieved
party. His pity all goes to himself, not
to the poor suffering woman. And I
have known plenty of men who felt
they had perfect right to philander
and b. unfaithful to their wives
because they got kick out Of under
the-rosc love affairs.
THE very worst fault that any hus-
band or wife can have is selfish
ness, but a woman suffers more from
2 selfish husband than a man does
from a selfish wife, because the man
has always avenues Of escape from
his domineering wife, while the wife
is at her husbands mercy and under
his thumb.
This man has shown you what you
can expect If you marry him. You will
never have wish considered, nor a
desire gratified unless it happens to
be something that he also wants to
have and do. If he does not like
your people, you will not be allowed
to have them at the house. Probably
you would not be allowed to go to
your mother if she was sick because
it would inconvenience him. If you
wanted to join club, you would have
to ask his permission. You would
always have to be a yes-yes woman
and never have any liberty of thought
or action. Men put their best foot
foremost in courtship, and If your
fiance is so selfish that even when he
is trying to win you he does not
conside' your pleasure nor your hap
piness, he will be far more dictatorial
and tyrannical after you are married.
You have had your warning. If you
refuse to heed it, you have brought
your fate down on your own head.

if my fiance was not SO
- stubborn. His will is law
and nothing that I can do or say
changes him. If he wants to stay
at home, We stay at home, no matter
what a delightful invitation we may
have for the evening nor how long
to go. If there Is movie that am

prefers, we 60 to the one he likes.
If there is a thing want to do and

Of dealing with this stubbornness

Answer-Stubbornn Is not the
word to describe your fiance's char
acter. What ails him is Just colossal
selfshness. He is just so self-centered
that he is utterly Indifferent to the
pleasures or welfare of any one else,
and, provided he can do what he
pleases and have what he wants, 1t is
of no concern to him how much it
may hurt others. He should worry

sorry bargain, for she will be nothing
but a slave who will have to spend
her life kowtowing before him.

to study the question at first hand.
1t has occurred to me that perhaps
the councils suggestions might be
presented as series of articles dur
ing the next few weeks. The booklet
has arranged its group of home
hazards" according to rooms, thereby
making it easier for the housewife to
see at a glance just where danger
turks.
In the introduction it is pointed out
that the realization of household acci-
dents came about when, few years
ago, a statistician, studying data on
the toll of fatal accidents in the
United States, suddenly discovered
that during the previous year more
persons were slain accidentally within
the supposedly safe confines of their
homes than had lost their lives on
the streets, on the waters or through
out the various fields of industry
Spurred by this evidence that the
American home is not entirely the
sanctuary which it has always been
considered, efforts we're made to dis
cover the primary causes for all these
accidents. One conclusion has been
clearly reached: Nearly all OF these
disasters are preventable!

SINCE the campaign to educate peo-
pie to this fact has been under
way improvement has been noted,
although even now statistics show that

second only to that of automobiles.
OF course, as the council points out,
there is some real reason for this.
They say:
One must remember that the ex-
posure to domestic accident is far
greater than exposure to any other
kind; for most people spend third
or more of their time at home,
whereas they are exposed to the
hazards of the street for only an hour
or two a day. Similarly, the home is
not so dangerous as the industrial
plant, simply because twice as many
persons are killed at home as in
industry. Only a fraction of the
populace consists of industrial work.
ers, but practically everybody has a
home
"One need not be fearful at home;
one must only be aware of the poten-
tial dangers that lurk in every house
and guard against them"
x
THE council further suggests that
it is an excellent idea for the
housewife to have at all times an
adequately equipped medicine closet
that will satisfactorily take care of
emergencies until the doctor arrives,
or can entirely care for minor scratch
or bruise. But the council emphasizes
one basic, important rule-in the
slightest doubt as to the extent of

Medical
Examination
Successful
Active Pu I'm onary
Disease Quickly De-
termined With Test.
BY JAMES BARTON.

A PHYSICIAN making routine ex-
animation Of a number of GYM
nasium members came across a chest
indicating a fair-sized cavity in the
right lung. AS he looked up the GYM
nasium member smiled and said: "Oh,
yes, had tuberculosis some years ago,
but I'm all right now
In other words, the tuberculosis had
dried up," or was inactive"
Now it is often a matter of concern
to the patient and physician to know
If formerly active tuberculosis. which
has apparently healed, is still COM
pletely at rest, or whether 1t may
have started up again in a small or
quiet manner.
DR.. H. Decker, Berlin, has made
some special studies on this problem,
because if the tuberculosis has become
even slightly active, it means that
rest must be taken, whereas if at
rest or inactive, the patient can go
about his usual business without any
fear of consequences.
His method of investigation was
first to examine the blood, then inject
cid tuberculin into the patient and
examine the blood again "a and 48
hours afterward The test was made
on so patients known to have active
tuberculosis, so persons without tu-
berculosis and 18 patients who for
merly had had tuberculosis, but in
whom a complete examination now
gave no signs Of any active tubercu-
losis (healed or cured cases..
In all patients with the active or
unhealed tuberculosis there was an in
crease in the number of what are
called the staff" cells after the in
lection Of the old tuberculin, whereas
in the so persons without tuberculosis
this increase did not occur.
The 18 persons who had recovered
from pulmonary tuberculosis likewise
had no change in the staff cells. Their
blood was the same as the so who had
never had tuberculosis.

an injury call doctor. Much serious
damage has been done by treating
a severe injury too lightly, and 1t Is
far better to be overcautious in such
a situation.
Necessary "first-aid" articles should
include:
l. A roll of one-inch sterilized gauze
bandage or comporesses with adhesive
attached.
2. A few three-inch gauze squares.
3. A roll of adhesive tape.
4. Ampoules of tincture of iodine
or some similar antiseptic in con-
venient form.
S. Aromatic spirits Of ammonia in
case of faintness.
6. Tube of burn ointment.
7. Sirup Of ipecac to use as an
emetic in case of poisoning.
g. Boric acid for eyewash.
9. Rubbing alcohol. for sprains and
soreness.
10. A good flrst-aid handbook.
The above list is the one suggested
by the council. Personally, I have
one or two additions which ! think
would prove useful. They include o
good clinical thermometer for taking
temperatures in case of possible in
lection, shock or cold; a roll of sterile
cotton, to use as swabs or for applying
liquids, and an ice cap for head
injuries and hot pad or water bottle
for chills. I know myself what it is
to need these things in a terrible
hurry, and not be able to find an
efficient substitute offhand. Keep the
ice bag and the hot-water bottle
stuffed with paper when not in use,
so that the rubber sides do not stick
together and deteriorate.

and vivid floral decorations. At one
store we found that these sets could
be had painted to order right under

and those of white background with
the decorations of delicate coloring are
perfectly exquisite. Any ambitious
housekeeper would be thrilled with
gift such as this! We also discovered
that bread and cake boxes, waste
