 CHAPTER XL
 E. Norman said, I'm not going to expose you to the danger of going to the apartment, Millicent. It makes no difference what you may say, this is once I'm going to keep you out of danger"
 ''Please," she told him, placing her hand on his arm, please, Nor mani Let me go with you. If there's danger let's face it together

 He signaled cab and gave the address of the apartment house.

agitation of feelings excites a sud- den pouring out of adrenin by the adrenal glands, and this increases the blood pressure and speeds up all the vital functions, so that the effect of repressing or concealing one emotion is comparable with racing the engine in an automobile or. throwing the belt off from fiy- wheel. At baseball game or a football game 1t is the spectator, not the player, whose arteries bear the brunt. It is in the grandstand that the gravest casualties occur.

 A makeup box is one of the most useful things girl can have at home, in the office or on a trip. Large, complete ones for the bou- doir contain everything that is needed to keep your skin in good condition. Smaller varieties that fit into the drawer of a desk arc equipped with medium sized jars of makeup you need when you get ready to leave the office or for a luncheon or tea uate.
 In addition there are really de luxe travel kits that make the per- feet present for one who is going on a vacation. Looking for all the world like miniature overnight cases, these are divided into com partments that contain cleansing tissue and foundation creams; all kinds of cosmetics, including pow der, rouge, lipstick, mascara and eyeshadow; special preparations to skin; comb, brush and manicuring gadgets.
 The better ones have handsome mirrors set right in their covers. When you open the lid, a little dressing table is before you. When you have finished your routine, simply close the lid and thank your stars that you don't have to wrap each bottle separately and
 find place for it somewhere in your luggage.
 Of course, if you don't want to spend money on a ready-made box for use at home, there's no reason why you can't make your own. One girl whom know got large wooden box about inches high from a wholesale cheese company, bought several unpainted cutlery trays from a 10-cent store and wedged them into the large box. Then she painted the inside of it, covered the outside with pretty wall paper and placed 1t in the top drawer of her dressing table. Now you may be sure, she has a place for every beauty item. Rouge ney- CT gets mixed up with powder, cleansing tissues stay fresh and clean. The top of her dressing table always is neat and tidy.

FAST LIVING AND PREMATURE
 OLD AGE

IT
 It is logical enough that people who live fast" should expect to die young. Not all authorities agree that heredity defective material in arteries), syphilis, alcoholim, overeating, chronic lead poisoning and severe infections such as ty- phoid fever, pneumonia and influ- enza are causes of arteriosclerosis. There Is difference of poinion as to tobacco, some authorities doubt ing it is Q factor, others being of indefinite view. Waiving the ques- tion whether I am an authority, I'll give my belief about it. In my practice-I have quite 8 practice in Preventive Medicine-I always in- sist on payment in advance, for I find it ends to keep my clients from fooling with nostrums and quacks. Real doctors should follow this plan. In the practice of plain hon. est Medicine, the real doctor is too often left holding the bag or wait ing for his money, the grateful-in- advance patient having squandered all his ready cash monkeying with bootleg treatment and only when he is we'll cleaned out throwing himself upon the mercy of the "or- dinary' or "home" doctor.
 I am fond of tobacco. I know that one derives for greater enjoy ment from it if one uses 1t temper ately than he possibly can get from abuse of tobacco. believe it .does- mt matter whether one smokes a. afr Ax yHtv,n AN rt Uc or snuffs, the effect on the body is the same. There is no reasonable doubt to my mind but that tobacco is invariably injurious to children, and we are children in the sense of physiological development until we reach the age of 22 to 25 years. What constitutes exces sis difficult to defne-perhaps it varies with circumstances. For one in my own status Ifthink any use of tobacco in the course of the days work or play or before the after-dinner hour. of relaxation in the evening when the day is. over, is likely to be excessive and harmful to health.
 A smoke causes the blood pres- sure to rise, and the blood pressure remains high for a considerable time. Mainly on this physiological observation I base my belief that abuse of tobacco is cause of pre- mature senility, arteriosclerosis, hardening of the arteries.
 Hard work has been held re- sponsible for this decline or wan ing vitality in some instances, fhof1ph if seems more plausible that excesses and poisonings al ready mentioned are the real fac tors in such cases. M
 Worry, stress, anxiety. fear, hat red, envy. jealousy, joy, anger or other, emotion may indeed be hard on the arteries if the impulse to overt action is repressed or one or another substitute for such natural outlet for the released energy is not regularly resorted to. Any such

 She had no definite plan in mind. She knew, of course, that if Nor man had encountered danger, she, too, would doubtless encounter that same danger, but she had under gone such mental agony waiting in the taxicab that no danger could be half as terrifying.
 She pounded frantically on the door of the apartment and received no answer. She tried the knob of the door in a desperate attempt to secure entrance.
 TO her surprise the door was un- loashed. the spring lock being ad- justed so that the knob turned freely and unlatched the door.
 Without thinking of any possible danger to herself, she pushed open the door of the room. rushed into the uniighted interior of the apart- ment.

DAYLIGHT SAVING UP-
 SETS SLEEP SCHEDULE

Daylight saving time may be dis liked by the farmers, but if we knew the truth, it's big army of enemies are the mothers of the land. What are we to do" they wall, "when it is still broad day. light at 10 o'clock? It's bad enough to put Johnny to bed at 2 and have him lie awake till g, but when it Is broad day until all hours and the street noises keep up, he turns and losses and cries because he can't go to sleep. It is a perfect nightmare for every body"
 Those who have been through it know, and am one suffering mother.
 Yet there is the. slep- schedule facing us. The sleep quota for all good little babies and girls and boys runs something like this:
 First months-1S to 20 hours a day
 months to year-1s to IS hours

 Two Short Maps Help
 Small children not in school and those in kindergarten with short hours can have long after noon maps to compensate for night shortage. Or preferably, two briefer maps morning and afternoon.
 Pupils in school can make up needed rest also this way after school is out for the year. But there are still two months to go as far as larger city schools are concerned. And they are strenuous, these months, what with outdoor life. and June ahead-June, the hardest month of the year form many of us because it is the wind- up of everything, and examina- tion time as well.
 More children get run Town" in June than any other tome. Watch irritability and misbehavior and loss of appetite. They all tell the tale. Too much to do, too little sleep and no appetite.
 Later Bedtime Urged
 The answer seems to be to move the bedtime formard one hour to- ward dark. Better to sleep when they do turn in than to toss and get past sleep. Give them another half hour in the morning if pos sible. And after school in the af- ternoon make them lie down for an hour, even though they do not sleep.
 Rest, even under protest (and be sure they will yell and kick up a rumpus), is rest just teh same. Keep the room dark and quiet and cool. See that they take off thier shoes. No reading, no play.
 They make up that extra hour after supyer anyway, so they can afford to go out or circulation from to 5. After a week or two they may learn to drop off for a cat nap. So much to the good then.

 The cab driver turned and re- garded them curiously. Norman flashed her warning glance, turn ed abruptly from the cab and walked to the apartment house en- trance. She watched him with eyes that were filled with anxiety, saw him press several of the buttons opposite different names, and noted with some measure of relief that he had not given Phyllis Faulconer warning of his visit by ringing her bell. That would give him the ad- vantage of taking her by surprise. and Millicent was grateful that he had thought to take this precau- tion.
 She saw him press against the door with his right hand, heard Q faint buzz and saw the door open. He turned to give her a reassuring wave of his hand and then entered the apartment house. The cab slid smoothly into mo- tion, ran around the corner and parked at the curb.
 This okay, Miss?" asked the driver.

 Baltimore, Md.-English ladit s love garden frocks at Epson French fashionables trail ankle-length chiffons at Long champs, but American women, with hardly an exception, wear sports clothes to the races.
 " At the colorful Maryland Hunt Cup Race, society girls, their mothers, alnts and grandmothers appeared in spring sports suits, as fresh docking as the clear blue sky and the bright spring sum- shine. Rough tweeds in subtle plaids and checks, vied with smoother woolens in vivid, sharIs colors. There were a good many white woolen suits, too. And, of course, plenty of the monotone skirt and plaid jacket combina- tions.
 Miss Alexandra Bacon, daugh- ter of New York State Represen- tative Robert l.. Bacon, had on .a lovely outfit, consisting of brown wool skirt, neat white blouse and double breasted jacket in brown and white check. Her white gloves and small white hat com pleted the pretty fashion picture. Whites With Dark Blouses
 Miss Bacon's mother wore 8 en blouse in monotone. Miss Vir- ginia Bacon appeared in 8 whitc and white checked jacket-blouse with surplice closing. The reglan sleeves had intricate stitched de- tails from neckline to elbows.
 Many of the all-white suits were worn with dark shirtwatst blouses. Mrs Frank A. Bonsa., Jr., walking about with Governor Theodore Green of Rhode Island, looked charming in white wool en suit with straight skirt and buttoned- -the-front jacket. Her blouse of navy blue silk matched the wide- -brimmed straw hat.
 Among the tweed suits that were particularly eye-filling, Mrs Charles Miller's stood out. Made of an interesting tweed that faint ly resembled herrlngbone, 1t was worn with a brinlmed hat of felt and plain, one-strap alligator sports slippers.
 Another figured woolen, worn by Mrs William Van Allen, in- cluded a skirt with kick pleats and severely-tailored, double breasted jacket with notched la pels. The fabric had hairlipe stripes, both diagonal and horf. zonal, that formed faint checks. Her accessories = felt hat, suede gloves, leather bag and ghillies with fringed tongues = were in keeping with her tailored suit. !

Style Chats
BY MARY FENTRESS United Press Stan Correspondnetl

Paris-The techni-color film. ''The Cucaracha," made a big hit with audiences here. The peppery tune is played at least once nightly at every club and, as is always the case with a success, people have begun sticking the name on everything from Mexican. hairless dogs to fiery cocktails.
 The latest "Cucaracha" is a smart little hat turned out by Lil- Jane Callet. The hat Is of white baku with a small brim which deepens at the back. The "Cucara- cha" is trimmed by a band of flat tened grosgrain ribbon which IS pleated in eight colors and forms a tassel at the back. Certainly this Is one of the most practical AS well as attractive hats of the sea son, for it can be worn with dresses in all eight shades of the pleated ribbon as well as with white.
 At the same house are white linen hats which are stitched all ocer and have q deep blue calla lily in smooth leather above each ear to hold the veil.
 A black cire straw has cor onet of six blossoms fashioned of white glace linen. From the flowers Is fastened c small double face veil. This same model hns been developed in straw coiored crepe and trimmed with a bright coronot of field flowers.

Proper Cultivation I
Trebles Cotton Crop

A concrete example of what a
good farming practice will do for
worn out soil has been found on
the farm of c. ]. Hunt, in Gull
ford County, says E. C.Blair, ex-
tension agronomist at State Col
lege.
In the fall of 1926, Hunt enlarg-
ed his farm by purchasing a FIVE
acre tract of land from one of his
neighbors. The land had been
planted to corn, with the rows run
ming up and down hill, and had
washed badly.
Hunt planted corn on the lot in
1927, but made such a poor crop
that he decided something must be
done to improve the soils fertility.
He planted wheat that fall; then
sowed lespedeza on the wheat the
following spring.
The lespedeza was allowed to
grow on the land until the spring
of 1881, when it was turned under
for corn. The corn gave a better
Weld than before. but still fell
short of a good crop.
Barley was sown that fall, and
lespedeza again in the spring of
1852. Last spring the lespedeza
was ploughed under. Hunt plant
ed a cotton crop, fortified with
400 pounds of AHA to the acre.
The yield was five 5oo-pound bales
on the five acres.
Meanwhile, the neighbor con-
tinued to farm his land in the old
way. Directly across THE road
from Hunts rolling land, the
neighbor has a hve-acre tract OF
level land which has been in row
crops, mostly tobacco, for IS years
Last year the neighbor planted
cotton on this tract, farming In
the old way, and got a yield Of
only one and a half bales from the
entire five acres.
