Isn't it terribly dangerous?

Can anybody learn to fly?
What do they haze to do to get

Are there any traffic regulations in

These and thousand other ques-

larly since the publicity being given
to the development of the "fiver"
plane.
Adventure. romance, the eternal
challenge of the elements to man are
in general the answers. but to be
more specific interviewed a number
of student pilots, some who hold pri-
vate licenses, and various instructors,
as well as officials of the Bureau OF

An advanced student to whom I
put the question, why did you take

well, bunch of us wanted to go
in for some sort of outdoor sport and
we finally eliminated everything but
horseback rluing and flying-and de-
cided that horses were too dangerous,

A somewhat startling explanation,
yet logical, too. People have been

aviation was going to expand to a
tremendous extent in the years to
come and he was learning to fly as an
investment; not that he wanted a
pilots job, but he did want to have
the know" of it so that he could get
into the business intelligently.

opening paragraphs laughingly ex

over the trees at the edge Of

some huge, orange-colored dragonfly.
Scarcely had it come to rest and
the drone of its motor throttled to an

toward a man who was walking across
the field toward the ship.

again that it is important that
a baby be given as much fresh,

taken off it, as he will drink.
After each using, the nipple
should be boiled and placed to
drv in a Jar that also has been
boiled. The nipples should be
lifted with a pair of tWeezers'
rather than the fingers, and the
mother should learn to put
them on the bottles without
touching the part that goes into
the baby's mouth.
Other articles to be kept on
the tray include a covered soap

of soap to buy for the baby, as
some soaps are injurious; a

package of absorbent cotton TOR

He Still Hangs On

Dear Miss Fairfax:
We met three years ago While
on a summer vacation and have
seen each other regularly since
then. I have now finished school
and am employed. He asked me
to marry him and I said I would.
It is decidedly my fault that
he left his home and came here
to be near me, and now has no
lob or no prospect of one. I
am disguised.
In the meantime, started to
20 with another young man, but
the first one kept following me
around all the time, until 1 had
to stop going with the new boy.
It seems as thought cannot
get rid of this first young man,
even though I have broken dates
with him, and he has caught me
out with others when I had a
date to go with him.
Now, Miss. Fairfax, I'm tired
of him, and have found out I
don't love him, but I don't know
how to get rid of him. We are
both of age, even though he acts
like a 2-year-old.
A READER.
Your main difficulty, as 1 see
it, is that this young man is un-
employed and has no prospects.
You tell me that it was entirely
your fault that he came to
Washington, to be near you. I
can't help but feel sorry for this
young man, whose only crime
seems to be his fidelity to you.
AS you tell me you don't care
for him and never can care for
him, the only way out is to tell
him so and refuse to see him.

Bv MRs.CORNELIUs BEECKMAN

Oy NGANSsNS ~ ~ 49, - ~>@~'S~-@'
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
When a man is escorting q
woman, such as in entering a
theater, bus, cafe and so
forth, should he precede or fol-
low her?
Does the same apply when
leaving? PUZZLED.
When a man and woman are
entering a car or bus, the man
helps the woman step into the
car, and then follows. When
they enter a restaurant, he
holds the door open for her
to enter first. Or, If it is a
swinging door, he helps her to
step into the near compartr
ment, gives the door q push
so that it will have a head
start" for her to continue the
push, and then enters the next
compartment.
Inside the door she waits I'M
til he has checked his coat.
Then they 60 toward the head
waiter. Then, as the man
wishes, he may follow the head
waiter, to see that he is given
his "favorite" table, or that he
is at least given a table that
he considers convenient and
agreeable.
Or, if he wishes, he may step
aside, indicating that he wishes
the girl to go first. and then
she follows the headwaiter and
he follows the girl. Either
form is correct, but it does
seem to me that the former
is the more convenient way.
In a theater, much the same
form holds true. The man
steps aside to allow the girl to
enter the theater first, while
he brings up the rear to give
the tickets at the door.
Then, in their progress down
the aisle, he may indicate that
she is to follow the usher, or
he may follow the usher, to see
that the seats assigned are the
correct seats, and to be in posi-
ton to help the woman as she
goes to her seat in the row.
But, if there are no assigned
seats, no ushers, the man
should always go first down
the aisle, to Find" the seats.
The man goes first, when he
and a woman are leaving a car
or bus, so that he will be in
position to help her alight
from the car or bus.
She precedes him as they
leave a restaurant, and when
they go up the aisle of the
theater on their way out. OF
course, if there is room for
them to walk side by side down
the aisle they naturally do
this.

towels, such as adults use are
not desirable for an infant.
The important thing about
the bath tray is not its cost,
but it's cleanliness. Tray and
contents should be washed daily
in warm water.
The tweezers and the contain
ers for boiled water, Swabs and
nipples should be sterilized-put
into cool water in a large COW
cred saucepan and brought to
a boil.
Don't put your fingers inside
the containers; turn them up
side down to dry. Keep the
tweezers in the folds of a clean
towel.

gent girl and not the least bit
affected by her outstanding YER
satility and her screen sue
cesses. Lillian Harvey is one Of
the most charming, unasSum'
ing girls I have ever met.
Naturally, she does not go in
for the bizarre in dress or
makeup; in fact, her English
good taste is quite evident in
the way she dresses. You have
to look very close, perhaps ask
a question, before you are con
WINGED that she wears makeup.
It is perfectly applied and me
ticulously chosen.
Fair skin such as hers is dit
ficult to complement with cos
metics. And brunettes with very
fair skin have the same problem.
Rouges are usually too red
or too orange, and powder
shades are slightly off. So one
enterprising salon of New York
has taken the thing in hand and
blended a powder that is a per
feet pet Of a shade, and a rouge
that is so delicate that it is
tempting enough to eat! These
two have barely reached youl
cosmetic counter, so they are
cosmetic news.
If you are blessed with so
fair skin as Lilian'S, play 1t
up. Have only delicate blush
on your cheek and enhance
your skin with powder that
not only blends beautifully with
skin tone, but adds an appeal
ing softness which is definite
feminine beauty!
