 GROWN-UP TOOTH TROUBLES
 We have been reading a great deal lately about how tooth trou- bles might be controlled if chill dren's diets were to be improved, particularly in the direction of more milk, fruits and vegetables, with liberal portions of cod liver oil or other rich sources of Vita min D.
 But most of us are grown up. We want to know: will use of such an improved diet also help adults teeth?
 The answer cannot be given with too much assurance, for much re- search is still to be done on this important question. In general, it scene likely that an improved diet, with emphasis on the protective foods'' mentioned above, will tend to preserve the sound teeth of adults from harm.
 kNO ulSb WAi CuEC O. tCoeA sAAe@S AA' already diseased. Once g cavity ap- pears, repair work by an experi- enced dentist is the only thing that will save the tooth. The cavity should be treated as soon as pos- sible, so that the spread of decay can be stopped. A small filling early is better than large one later. It costs less; its placing is at tended by less difficulty, and more of the natural tooth is preserved to do it's work.
 One difficulty is that many cavi- ties are already large before we discover them. Most cavities start between the teeth or in some part not readily noticed. Occasionally the first warning of their presence Is a toothache, which means that the diease has already penetrated to the tender inner pulp of the tooth.
 This is the reason for regular. semi-annual visits eo the dentist for tooth inspection. The dentists trained eye will see tiny cavities long before they would be discov- f A

stepdaughter who had money of her own, the elder Van Harrington swore with relief. He figured the marriage might last five or six years, with any luck at all, and in that time Teddy would grow up.
 Elaine was considerably older at 20 than was Teddy at 23. She had already decided to marry him, but because she did not love him in the least she subconsciously de- cided to make as many men miser- able as possible. This complex, ac- centuated by the activities of her insidious college sorority and abetted by her piquant beauty, made her a formidable female. The year before she had been acclaimed the seasons most successful debu- tante, and she was not one to let her reputation wither on the vine. She now had in tow the famous orchestra leader whose dance music was considered divine" by her set; she still went about escorted by five or six attentive young males. Whenever she appeared in town COllc6c lnc SLOCh oL thC younger debs fell several points.
 
 Perhaps the only thing Elaine Chalmers did which her heart really dictated was when she went down to Annapolis now and then and told a certain serious first classman between dances that she loved him feverishly in spite of thes fact that she was going to marry someone else. It thrilled her to hear this young naval officer threaten to end his life if she should do this. And yet it hurt her, too, for she was fond of him. Dennis Davis, older and less bril- liant than most of his classmates, was not an especially good catch" His family had lost their modest fortune. He had no "pull' in the navy. Elaine often wondered why she bothered with him at all. She only knew she would rather be

 3. If she likes him only little she doesn't care to, and if she likes him a great deal she doesn't try to. And if she does she will likely be wrong. She may think she likes him for his broad shoulders, or his gentle voice or his handsome or homely face (some women are specially fond of homely men--ubt vigorous ones) etc. but her real reason often Is that he is like her father or broth- CT or like some man who was kind and generous to her when she was q child.

Patou Acclaims Tapered Silhouette
Of Ancient Egypt Shoulders Wider, Hips NayvO1O
By JEAN PATOU Written for NEA Service


 Paris-The wider shoulders and narrow hips that provide the basic silhouette of my winter collection are reminis- cent of figures in Egyptian bas-reliefs, but this influence has not kept me from pre- serving the slim silhouette, supple and youthful line so becoming to modern woman.
 An added note of femininity and grace is achieved in many models with draperies, with the draped skirt, even for daytime wear, a most conspicuous innova- tion. These draped effects are never voluminous. They under line the contours of the body to contribute to a youthful note, but they are alwaSs extremely sober.
 Wider Shoulder Not Squared
 While the shoulder line Is wid- ened, it should not be interpreted as being squared. On the con- trary, in many of the new coats the rounding of shoulders is par ticularly emphasized and these could fit into a perfect arc. This is where I have diverged some what from the Egyptian line.
 Evening dresses are divided into two categories-the Egyptian and a silhouette reminiscent of the delicate Tanagra figures of antiquity. The latter are essen- tially becoming to the smaller. rounded woman, for whom I par ticu1arly studied style.
 Tailored suits are featured ex- tensively in my new collection. Their vogue is still too firmly es- tablisbed to be disregarded and they will be worn we'll on into the fall because most consist of a comfortable dress and a jacket often 1n a contrasting fabric, but always harmonizing in color.

The woman who has to budget her time should learn to make good use of the half hour a day she spends in the bath tub. With 8 little careful planning and bit of inexpensive equipment, it is quite possible to complete one beauty routine each night while you are sitting in the tub.
 First of all, get or make some kind of shelf that fits across the top of the tub in front of you. If it has a mirror, so much the bet ter. If not, have shelf wide enough to hold your hand mirror.
 One night week, arrange your manicuring gadgets on the little board. File your nails before your hands get wet, of course. By the time you have finished scrubbing. the cuticle will be soft and ready for treatment. Apply liquid polish after you get out.
 Scalp Massage
 Another night, you can very we'll give your scalp a hot oil treatment. Part your hair in sec- tions, dip a cotton pad in warm olive oil and apply. Then rest elbows on the shelf, place your head in your hands and use finger tips to massage the oil into the scalp. You should move the scalp not your fingers.
 If you feel that one good home facial a week improves your looks. but somehow you never seem to have time for 1t, give your face a treatment while you are bathing. Clean your face and spread on your favorite mask before you start to bathe. Remember, how ever, that the water must not be steaming hot or the mask never will dry. Afterward, smooth on tissue cream, pat it with fingertips or a batter, and remove the excess before you get it.
 Incidentally, to keep back and shoulders smooth and scrupulous- ly clean, there is new, special flesh strap, narrow, but almost as long as the average bath towel. It is made of fibrous sponge on one side, turkish toweling on the other. and is to be held, one end in each hand, and rubbed back and forth across the back. This stimulates circulation, which in turn discour- ages the accumulation of excess fat, and certainly does a good deal toward perfect cleanliness in the area that often is neglected simply because you aren't contortionist.

Promotion of Pupils More Scientific Now Other Factors Besides Grades Considered

More Scientific Now
 Other Factors Besides
 Grades Considered
 One cannot speak of 'the public school system" in the singular. In the 4s states there are 4S systems, generally speaking, and each unit divides and sub-divides acgcording to the funds and facilities of the various cites, towns, boroughs, and townships within the state borders. As rule, methods in the larger cities bear a close resemblance to each other; first, because they were founded upon the same edu- cational, principles; secondly, be- cause each Is agile in picking up innovations successfully tried and proved by another city. Smaller communities eventually follow suit as they can.
 Thus 1t happens that some of the leading cities have completely revamped their methods of pro- noting or "placing" child, while scross the state line-or even the county line-schools are still using the straight formula of report cards and percents to the exclu- sion or all else.
 How New System Judges Child
 One of~the newest systems used him, considers ability" (measur- ed by marks); aptitude. which is just what it says; and the "psy- chological-age" of the child, some- times called mental age.
 Placing is therefore elastic. Tho "quick" child is given his chance to skip. The slower child goes on with is class and is given the op- portunity to make up the tagging subject at special time and place. In cases of the mental deviate or very slow child, the pupil is put into a selective school where he may learn handicraft. If old enough for junior high, he is often set on the road to vocation. The success of the latter schools has been astonishing.
 This does not mean that all pu- pills who choose trade or vocation al work are slow pupils. Quite the contrary; often they are the smartest of scholars and are mere ly exercising elective rights. But reclamation work, as we all know, accents manual effort in conjunc- ton with certain mental exercise.
 Faults of Old Way Exposed
 The following method of plac- ing was tried out for a while in some cities. Promotion depended o nthe decisions of a committee composAd of teacher, principal, psychologist and parents. Approx imately nine-tenths of the children would be promoted without com ment. The remainder were given special attention by the committee and their best interests considered.
 The child put ahead, who can not master the grade work is un- happy and confused. The child kept back is more unhappy still. The denoted child gives up en- tirely. These are the facts that rev. olutionized promotion methods.
 Whether or not we approve of psychology, it's power to test and measure mental caliber, remove mental hazards in the child and recommend happier environment cannot fail to impress us. For the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-11

first time a real place is found for the child mentally unfitted for the grade his age designates.
 Smaller cities and towns may eventually vote on the worth of some such plan. Be that as it may, most schools of date have recog- nized the wisdom of averaging marks with aptitude, and of spe- cial classes for help wherever possible. The days of six-foot Har- ny in grade 4 are over.
