NEVER MIND YOUR RECEPTA-
 CJJLTJM CHYLT

One of my colleagues who sets up as an interpreter of medicine and teacher of health, perpetrated an egregious joke on his customers the other day. Touchingly confident in their ignorance he first pointed out that "the exact cause of the com- mon cold has never been found" and then told the lunkheads that I've have in us and about us the or ganisms of the common cold"-I wonder what the learned doctor would teach about fairies, witches, ghosts, vampires, ectoplasm and heXes?
 A great many of the self-promot- ing big boys of the profesh attempt to patronize me and my notions about this "cold" business. Their ef- forts to place my teachings about it in bad light sometimes lead them into strange attitude. They set out, ostensibly to enlighten the lay man but actually to wreck my work. They don't understand what l teach, but they assume I maintain that "colds" are communicable in- fectious diseases and nothing else. So they must smash the germ the ory or seriously cripple it before they can complete the mystification of the credulous 1ayman. Thus they come at you poor confused folk with

ing her own living-and got table in a sheltered corner, behind a clump of palms.
 When they had ordered he looked at her with mock sternness.
 Now" he said, suppose you tell me why you're ducking me so hard!"
 I'm not ducking you" she pro- tested.
 "Yes, you are. Whats the big idea? Don't I wear the right kind of necktie, or have got spots on my vest, or do I need a haircut or something? Why can't I ever have another date with you?"
 I didn't say you never could. My goodness, youfe rushing things, aren't you?"
 "W1ly not? I don't believe in be- ing backward, when the prettiest girl in the whole state is floating around loose right under my nose. "
 Well, but" she hesitated. You see, Sandy, I'm not really floating around loose. I'm-I'm really en- gagged" And she was furious with herself when she found herself add ing the words, practically, any how"
 Sandy cooked humorous eye at her.
 Practically engaged, eh? Good Lord, baby, go ahead and be en- gagged. I'm not going to eat you up. I just want to pal around with you. No harm in that, is there?"
 "No-o-o." The waiter set food before them, and she became very busy with her club sandwich. But oh, you know how it is."
 Boy friend might get sore?" Sandy grinned. I'm harmless as a baby. I-listen-if you don't mid my asking-is he the lad you were with in the Golden Feather the other night?"
 Jean nodded.
 Why, he's a nice kid" said Sandy. When you going to get married?"
 Well, not right away" said Jean helplessly. T mean, you see he's just getting started, and" Whats he do?"
 He's an autosalesman."
 Who's he with?" He's with the-oh Sandy, what's the use of questioning me like this? I've gone with him ever since I was in high school. I just don't think I ought to have dates, that's all"
 "Aw, these aren't regular dates I'm asking for. just want to see you sometimes. No harm in that" But Jean remained adamant, and when the lunch was finished and Sandy had escorted her back to her office and gone away, she told her conscience savagely, "Now-I do hope you're statistical"

PARIS STYLES By MARY FENTRESS

United Press Staff COrresondpent
 Paris. CUP)-"Cleavage," a term, applied to extremely low-necked dresses, was born in Hollywood but has had reverberations aoll over the world, have frankly copied this vogue which sprang from American movies.
 Two prominent dress houses show alluring models that have no shoulder sharaps at all, but are held in place at the top of the cor sage by a snug band of flesh col ored ribbon or by a garland of flow CTS or leaves. Another well-known house shows evening gowns that are | not too decollete but which have daring pieces of material in tri- angular or diamond shape designs removed from the front of the ] bodice to reveal an entrancing ex- panse of skin..
 Now that the style has been set on both sides of the Atlantic it would seem that the European adaptation of Cleavage" has hor- l rified America, its birthplace. The low cut gowns in "Nell Gywn" SC shocked the American public that some of the clothes were altered The British actress, Merle Oberon was forced to eliminate some of hel low-necked gowns in "The Scarlet Pinlperner' to get by the censors.
 The Cleavage King" Martin Quigley, who is personal representa- tice of Will Hays, remained silent on the subject upon his recent visi to Paris and London. Questioned as to why the Purity League should raise objections to low-necket dresses when lavish leg displays ar' still permitted on the screen, Quig' ley laughed and said, There ma! have been a change in public taste.

sOh, yeah?' said Conscience. rIve heard that before"
 "Well, it did" insisted Jean. eAnd whats the harms It didn't mean anything. And he-he didn't sven try to do 1t again, or"
 'Well, must say, that's very weak sort of defense" Conscience replied. Tt wasn't your fault he didn't try to do it again"
 Tt was so! I drew away and I fold him"
 "Oh, you told him! Since when did that mean anything? And be- sides, what would Bobby say?"
 ''Well, Bobby just isn't going to know. And 1t isn't going to happen again, 50 what's the use of making nll this fuss over it"
 That wasn't the most satiSfac- tory reply imaginable, perhaps, but 1t would have to do. And the feel ing of guilt that stayed in the back of Jeans mind made her especially nice to Bobby when he called for her, after dinner, to take her to a movie; and when he told her good night, later, she let him kiss her three times to make up for it, so that that young man went home both pleased and puzzled.
 Sandy called her up Sunday morning and suggested another ride. She put him of on the ground that she had another en- gagement. He called her up Sunday evening, apparently for no reason except that he wanted to tell her that she was tops. He called her at the office Monday morning and asked if she could have lunch with him; and when she said that she could not he begged her to dine with him that evening.
 Sandy, can't" she said. I'm I'm all tied up this week"
 "Yeah!" said Sandy cheerfully. "Baby, you aren't fooling me a-tall. Ycu better get yourself united pret- ty quick or I'll come up there and pull you out by that pretty yellow hair of yours. I'm not foolin, sis LeIs Ou Tt IIlt lhCeSC UIllIlB Vc seon in all my travels, and I'm go- in gto see plenty more of you. Puh- lenty!"
 Conscience bestirred itself for one final jab. after he had hung up.
 "You see?" it inquired causti- cally. You see what comes of that one harmless litle kiss?"
 When she got home that night, Jean found huge box of roses waiting for her. And the next noon, when she went out for lunch, she stepped from the elevator into the lobby of the office building and found Sandy lounging there, wait ing for her.
 He grinned broadly, stepped up confidently, tucked her arm into his, and said, Now where's good place to eat, anyhow? I bet you're hungry"
 Helplessly, laughing, she suffered herself to be led along. He took her to restaurant where she never lunched-it was too expensive for the budget of a girl who was earn

When she got home that evening Jean discovered that her conscience was rather disturbed about that kiss "What sort of girl do you call yourself anyway? asked Conscience indignantly "The very first time you've been out with man. too! And you've always prded your self the fact that you didn't like to be mauled and petted!"

the striking assertion that the germ of the common cold has never been found, and on the other hand they throw bad scare into you with the sociological assurance that these "cold" germs nobody has ever dis covered are always "in and about us," waiting like good bogeymen to bounce on us the moment our hypo- thetical defenses are lowered. That opens the way for all the silly old quackery about wet feet, weather changes, insufficient clothing, drafts
 In truth I do believe the majority of the illnesses indiscriminately spread under the disarming name of colds" are infectious, Common Res piratory Infections, and hence suggest the term CRI Ckree) to in- dicate any such trouble until or un- less you can make a specific diag- nosis of the ailment. But believe from ten to fifteen per cent of all illnesses or indispositions purporting to be "colds" are non communicable non-infectiouS, not due to germs of any kind, but allergic or chemical ir character; these non-infectious cor yzas may be exceedingly annoying and uncomfortable, but are never dangerous. You have never heard of anybody dying from hay fever have you?

We may avoid the symp- toms (of the common cold by watching diet and intestine, and also the temperature and moisture of our homes, offices or factories" he add ed.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 8
G.N.SD.-On the vast expanSe Of
this lake front structure of steel
and concrete, baseball's third all
star game was presented today
and from the start there were a
number of surprises.
First, Manager Frankie Frisch,
of the National Leaguers, selected
Bill Walker, veteran southpaw, as
the starting pitcher. Walker be-
came a member of the team only
last night after an injury to
Lingle Van Mungo and Lon War
nek's Indifference to being in the
spectacle created a one-man short
age of the pitching staff.
The other surprise was the
crowd, which was slightly under
the 10000 mark as the teams
squared away for the battle. An
hour before game time. the
bleachers in center field seat
ing 10000 were less than a
third filled and seats there had
been on sale all morning.
The third surprise was the alb
sence of AL Simmons from the
starting lineup of the American
Leaguers. The White Sox star.
although benched for a week,
has been regarded as a sure cinch
to start in center field.

100 Missing As Streams Rage
Through Cities; Governor
Lehman Directs Aid

YRACUSE, N. Y, July 8
I.N.SO.-With IS persons known
to be dead, a score of others re-
ported dead, more than 100 miss
ing and thousands fleeing for
their lives before bursting dams
and angrily boiling rivers, wide
spread suffering set in late today
in the wake of one of the worst
floods in New York's history.
Traffic was paralyZed over wide
areas of western, central and
south central portions of the State
and airplanes were sent out over
the stricken areas to guide rescue
and relief parties.
Lehman Plans Aid
Governor Lehman, at Albany,
was devoting his full attention to
reports of the disaster, which
poured in from hundreds of To-
calities stricken by cloudburStS.
He said State armories may be
thrown open to families driven
from their homes.
Four Struck by Lightning
Four struck by lightning in
Rochester will recover.
The torrential downpour was
accompanied by an eerie electrical
panoply, lightning striking at
least seven times in this vicinity.
Sixty children were rescued
from the children's home in the
western end of Ithaca, and from
inundated cottages along Cayuga
Inlet.
More than a dozen towns were
almost completely inundated by
swollen rivers and streams. Miles
of highway and scores of bridges
were wiped out. There were ru.
mors of scores dead which could
not be verified due to demolished
telephone and telegraph wires.
At Watkins, where the New
York Central viaduct was washed
out, IS persons were reported
missing.
Hornell, in Steuben county, was
under water when Canisteo Creek
swept over it's banks. Food was
being taken to stranded families
by city trucks.
In Rochester, where the storm
struck late yesterday, damage Was
estimated at $500,000. Residents
padded about the streets in
canoes and RATS.
Ithaca Is Lashed
A series of storms lashed Ithaca
in deadly succession. CaScidilla
and Six Mill creeks roared out of
their bounds and buried the busi-
ness section under six feet of
water.
Sections of pavement were
washed out. Tons of rock thun.
dered down hills into nearby val.
leys, filling highways. Several
motorists were injured. Whole
