MILD CHRONIC LEAD POISON
 ING,

Fairhall and Helm made thor ough study of lead weighted silk fabrics and found no evidence of lead poisoning from this source, even when the fabric containing lead was worn next the skin un- der extreme conditions of activity and sweating.
 A. J. Lanza, NJ. D., medical di- rector in life insurance company, asserts that lead may gain en- trance to the body through the respiratory system by inhalation (of fumes or dust), through the gastrointestinal system by inges- tion, and through the skin. It is doubtful though, he hastens to add, whether skin absorption of inorganic lead compounds ever takes place except when the skin is damaged by inflammation or such as tetraethyl lead, will pene- trate the skin, is the astonishing but unsupported assertion of this writer.
 Tetra- -thyl lead is quite volatile, and 1t Is as reasonable Co assume that it Is inhaled as it IS to assume tndL JHe BdHOllfle III WHiSi it Af7 dissolved Is inhaled when anybody | is poisoned by spilling such a li- quid on the clothing. At any rate, there is no scientific experiment which proves that tetra-ehyl lead is absorbed through unbroken skin. That notion is just q conclusion to which some ponderous doctor has jumped. Too often medical writ CTS confuse opinion with fact. Water conducted through lead pipe may dissolve out some trace of lead, especially if the water con- tains much carbon dioxide, and as little as 1-500th of a grain daily taken in the drinking water, or in beer or wine which has been kept in or flowed through lead pipe
 may cause chronic lead poisoning in the course of u few months. Forty rather severe cases o1 lead poisoning occurred in Balti- more a few years ago, from the
 use of old discarded storage bat | tery cases as fuel; similar out
 break in Nashville affected five l families and fourteen children.

How" she asked, "does that look? 2"
 'I'p more interested in know ing" Millicent said, exactly why 1t is that you
 Do you," Miss Hanson inter- rupted, think that looks all right?
 "Yes," Millicent said.
 Your skin," Miss Hanson re- marked, speaking as -impersonally as though she had been surveying an inanimate figure, lis too light to go with that hair. The news papers have described you as q golden blond with light skin and deep blue eyes. We've got to give that skin Q stain-one that will take several weeks to wear off,"
 "Can you do that?" Millicent asked.
 "Yes," she said, but it may be painful. You'll have desire to rub at your face. If you rub the skin the stain won't be uniform. IL will be necessary for me to clamp your hands to the chair. l can as- sure you it won't be painful. It will be done in just this manner"
 She smoothed Millicent's dress back from the wrist, placed her arms parallel along the arm of the chair.
 "see," she said, you'll have to hold them this way"
 She pressed a button. There was click of a spring, steel bands shot out from the underside of the arm, circled Millicent's wrist.
 Now" she said, Tit won't be painful"
 Panic filled Millicent Graves eyes. She tried to speak calmly, aIthoritatively.
 Thank you," she said. "l don't think l care for the treatment. Please nberate my wrists" Miss Hanson didn't answer im- mediately. She was standing with her face turned away from the chair, looking toward a door at the other side of the room. There was something expectant in her gaze Millicent's eyes followed those of the tall brunei. Suddenly she saw a door open. A white-robed figure entered the room.
 Miss Hanson spoke calmly, all most casually. "Everything is iE readiness" she said. You may aa- minister the anesthetic."
 The whitc-robcd figure produced a paper cone lined with cotton. The odor of ether became apparent. Millicent opened her mouth to scream, and the cone was clamped over her mouth and nostrils as she sucked in her breath. Miss Hanson's hands held Mill cents head. She struggled franti- cally, kicked. and tried to scream once more. Her lungs filled with the anesthetic.

Sources of lead poisoning arc numberous. Mining of soluble lead
 salts, not galena (sulphide of lead).
 Lead smelting and refining. Manu-
 fracture of lead articles. Lead burn
 ing, soldering, lead tempering,
 plum ping. Brass and other found ing. Buffing and polishing metal
 surfaces in which lead is an ingre- dient. Manufacture of lead salts, pigments, organic compounds of lead.> Other manufacturing pro-
 cesses in which lead is used-stor- r age batteries paints, glass, rubber.
 chemicals. Application and re-
 moval of paints, channels and
 glazes containing lead. Painting,
 spray painting, vitreous enameling,
 pottery dipping, -papering,
 scraping and chipping painted sur faces, flame -sraying with painted
 metal. ree-spraying with lead containing insecticides. Type
 founding, electrotyping, stereoty2- ing, Lead poisoning from spray fumes or dust is not necessarily limited to the person doing the spraying, heating or scraping, but
 may equally affect other persons
 who arc not engaged in the work.
 For instance, number of girls Was
 employed assembling brass strips l which were passed along to mao | to be soldered at the end of the table. The fumes of the lead were carried by the air current along the table and the girls were poisr
 oned, although they had not han | dled lead at all.

If seemed that within less than 8 minute of the time her mysterious escort had opened the door and vanished, the cab had once more pulled up to the curb on the op- pesitc side of the street.
 'sHe got out right over there, Miss" the driver said. T stopped on this side of the street because l thought you were in hurry"
 She nodded, and, pressing her face to the glass window, sue yeyed the opposite side of the street.
 She found no trace of the man who had given the name of Jarvis C. Happ. But, with a swiftly Frightened intake of breath, she recognized a police car parked It the opposite curb. It was one of the cars of a type equipped with radio, carrying two plain-clothes detectives. There was no distin- gushing mark on the car, save the police emblem which appeared rn the license, and the siren which was mounted on the front of the car. But Millieent Graves had noticed these cars before. Now she observed both the license plate and the siren. She knew also tha: these cars customarily carried two mon. Now only one of the men sat behind the steering, wheel in the car. and he was taking notes of something which was coming in over the radio.
 Millicent tapped on the glass partition in something of panic.
 All right" she said, "drive on."
 gro Mills street" the driver asked.
 "Yes," she said, ''the Acme beau ty parlor.'
 The driver nodded and grinned. She thought for moment that he leoxed suggestively across the street at the police car.
 ''In hurry?" he asked.
 "Yes," she said, and, despite her self, her voice once more was thin with fright.
 The cab shot forward, slid smoothly through the gears, and turned at the corner. Millicen. strained her eyes through the back window of the car, looking to see if she was followed. She knew now how hunted thing feels.
 Too late she realized that the cab driver was fully aware of her anx- tous scrutiny. His eyes were re- flected in the rear view mirror as he watched her with cynical ap- praisal.
 Millicent whirled about and hud- died herself in the seat, her eyes fixed rigidly straight ahead. She thought of the money her strange friend had given her. She was holding it clenched tightly in her hand. She looked at 1t in surprise as she saw that the outer bill was a $100 bill.
 Slowly she counted the money. There was $575 in bills of varying denominations.
 The cab driver swung the, car out of traffic, slowed cautiously and crept in close to the curb.

Tt is only partly true. Partly because of her function of mo- therhood by which only one man can be the father of her child, more women than men te n d to build their emotional life around this one individual. The man may be father of many children and whether we use the word ''in- stinct" to explain it or lay 1t tG custom and social habits this leads more mep than women to have wider emotional interests. Further, more women than men live by feeling instead of thinking their way through life and are more likely to center their feelings on one person.
 2.-There is some truth in 1t but also some holes. As Abe Martin said: "A friend that 'aint in need is a friend indeed" When a man fails of course his real friends rally to his support. However, many men who meet misfortune develop an exaggerated sense of

 Answer-It can do no harm even if you take it all the time, but l believe course of 10 weeks tive or three times a year will be as effective as constant medication. Mctabolism or utilization of cal cium is promoted by ultra violet rays of sunlight or suitable lamp on naked skin. and by daily ration of vitamin D.

 Have you ever visited a family where the chief indoor sport was seeing who could pc the meanest to the others? Where Jealousy and hatred showed al else out the door and took timf out between bells only to ge' breath to go at 1t again?
 Sister pitted against sister brother against brother, sister against brother; parents, children everybody mixed up in the daily battle of wits and tongues and | tricks! :.
 Some years ago I found myself | in such a home, otherwise would not have thought 1t possible among civilized people, nor would have been able to credit what g mother described to me not long ago about similar conditions in her own house. :. Her children were pretty well grown. Her husband, she explain cd came home tired, nervous and irritable. She had had too much to do and so her own temper, she confessed, was none too elastic. She supposed that once she and her husband had been in love.
 Chfldrcn's Wrangilng Is Worst
 "But," she added, i've have been too busy and too worried to bother with that. think hus- bands and wives get over that foolish softness about each other when they have so much on their minds. But 1t is the children that worry me. can't go on with this perpetual quarrelling and nasti- ness. I nearly so crazy. tell them I'll run off and never come back. But they know I can't. What in the world can do?"
 said I was terribly sorry but I did not think she could do any thing magic. Your children got their ideas outdoing each other when they were little. That makes 1t hard to expect any kind of CO., operation now. Of course, if I were in your place, I would say, Ladies and gentlemen, this is my house-and my castle. You cannot ruin 1t for me. Behave and give me some peace or else get out and stay out.
 "Yes, and then what?" she ask ed.- You can't let them starve.
 'I have no doubt that. you go right ahead and bake them pies and keep the tail end of the steak for yourself and wash the giDs stockings and give the boys cig- aret money and watch the ads for the latest styles for the whole kaboodle. while you haven't had the price, of wave yourself for months. Isn't that true?"
 "Oh, know I'm silly, but I have to do it," she confessed. T try to keep everybody satisfied so there won't be more trouble"
 Needs High Handed Action
 "You have answered yourself, my dear lady" this indignant listener informed her. While 1t is poor policy to resort to high handed methods in any family circle, it is also quite permissible to keep ones sanity. You cannot stand it any longer, nor is 1t ex- pected of you. Stop being Santa Claus and a doormat combined. make those kids shut up and act like decent human beings in your house. Show some authority and spunk. They will respect you all the more.
 "If you have to, feed them on bread and beans. And make them behave decently to each other. Make them. That's all make them. But about that soft busi- ness between you and your hus- band. Don't you think. it would

DIvoRcEE's CORRECT NAME

Although 1t is being done to some extent, it Is not socially cor rect for divorced woman to re- sume her maiden name. Especially if she expects to call herself Miss. She may, however, with perfect propriety, combine her maiden surname with her former husbands surname. Thus Mrs John Smith, who was Mary Jones. could be known after her divorce as Mrs Jones smith. She would, fo course, sign her same as always Mary Jones Smith.

 muscles in hands and arms stiff and uncomfortable, slowly orc e your hands up over your head and down toward the back as far as they will go. Then try to fore e them down and back few more inches.
 Feel the muscles in your neck and shoulders stretch and pull. Keep head up and chest expanded. Inhale as you force your arms from front to back. Exhale as you

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris-(UP) - Lelong's navy blue ensemble with the em- broidery stripes in spangles of the same shade, is one of the things we feel we must write home to you about.
 The spangles are covered over neatly with fine mesh tulle so that there isn't that danger of ever catching them on any, thing and having them pull loose. You can't see the tulle, anyway, so the protective meas ure is unobserved. The stripes increase in width from the shoulders to the edge, of the cape, which reaches about a quar- ter of an inch at the throat and an inch at the elbow.
 The dress beneath the cape is straight and almost Princess Tn line, beltless and snug. and has little splotches of sequins shap- ed like obtuse triangles sprin- kled regularly over both bodice and skirt which, incidentally ap- pear to be cut all in one piece. White or beige gloves and purse, and a little Maria Guy hat of the navy wool. complete this aristocratic ensemble that is spectacular because of it's simplicity rather than any ec- centricity.
