 But things are different now! "I know. But that doesn't make them any better. I've lived my life and some of these days I'm going | to be gone!"
 Father, please--!

You think you can, too, but there's more to life than you realize. I don't like to leave you with no one to look out for you"
 Gale had risen from her chair and slipped an arm around his shoulders. Don't, father!" she | begged. 1T cant bear to hear you say such things. You aren't going

 Gale rinsed the cups and wiped them, set the bread and butter away. "He thinks 1 should marry Steve" she told herself. He wants me to marry him.
 She was sober-faced as she put | out the kitchen light and went to her bedroom, sober-faced as she stood before her mirror, brushing | her hair. This mood continued throughout the following morning. It was Sunday and the Hendersons ate dinner at 1 o'clock. By 20 min utes past two when Gale had fin- ished putting the last dish back into the cupboard, had wiped her hands and hung away her apron there was a knock on the front 1 door.
 Gale hurried to open it. A young man wearing q brown windbreaker | jacket and corduroy trousers stood
 before her. His cap was pulled down over his eyes.

 The crowd shuffled out of the movie theater, stopping to look at posters announcing, next weeks show: girls peering to catch glimpse of themselves in the mar row mirror panels at: either side of the entrance, to powder noses and dab on rouge cbattering and laughing; young men who spoke in dnAnaN ynaI1CfpO n liUhf rin- arets and jam hats on firmly. There were older people and some chll- dren-a nondescript crowd, the usual patrons of the Strand where pictures were exhibited which, six or eight weeks earlier, had been shown in the larger theaters in the more brightly lighted section of the town.
 Steve Meyers looked down on Gale as they stepped out on the sidewalk. Wasn't such bad pie ture. was it?" he asked.
 "Oh. liked 1t. That girl who was 'Kathy' is anew star, isn't she? 1y0 never seen her before. And didn't she look beautiful"
 The words broke off. A couple a. small girl in bright red hat and rather dowdy fur coat and a tall youth-had just halted before the glass cage where tickets were sold. Gale heard the girl laugh and turning recognized Ruby Griffith before she saw it was Phil beside her. A moment later two disap- peared inside the theater.
 Steve asked, What was that you were saying?"
 "About the picture? Oh, don't know--it doesn't matter anyhow. That was Phil with Ruby Griffith. Did you see them?"
 "Yes."
 They walked in silence for a few you wouldn't worry the way you do about Phil"

 "Worrying isn't going to do any good"
 YNo. don't suppose it will. But what can I do, Steve?"
 "Leave him alone. Phil's smart euuughr to take care of himself. The trouble is you're used to look ing out for him. You still think of hirn as a little boy"
 'But he's only 19-"
 That's not so young. It would be a lot better for Phil if you'd give him a chance to stand on his

ROBER DIsOBEYs ORDERS


 Six-year-old Robert Johnson and I ran into each other last week, and It is hard to say which of us was the more shocked. l was driv- ing along quiet road which at one point is crossed by another that runs rather steeply downhill. Yhe intersection is hidden by trees. and as usual I approach cau- tiously, especially as children often use the hill for coasting.
 Usually they post one Of their number on the crossing to give the signal to the coasters when 1t Is safe to start. That day there was no little sentinel in sight and no sound of children's voices. Imagine my dismay, then, when a small boy on a sled shot suddenly into view, coming straight for my car. put on the emergency brake, and at the same moment Robert-for 1t was Robert Johnson--swerved his sled slightly. The result was that instead of smashing right into the car, the right runner just glanced my front tire, and sent sled and child rolling over and over on the slippery road.
 To my intense relief Robert picked himself up, and began to bawl. After I had succeeded in partly soothing the little fellow (my own knees were shaking). l asked him how 1t was he was coasting on a forbidden hill, and

GLORIFYING
 YOURsELF
By Alicia Hart 7:
0iS5J6S Nl1 sEIWEg i0e

Fashion, beauty apd health authorities agree that One--if not THE one of the greatest attri- butes to loveliness is good posture. Much of the charm of clear skin. pretty hair and sparkling eyes is wasted if a girl slumps when She walks. Certainly good clothes count for nothing if the shoulders beneath them are round, the stom- ach protruding, the hips sticking out in ungainly manner.
 Learn to stand with chest up- lifted, shoulders square, backbone straight, stomach pulled in and hips carried forward. Whether you are walking or standing still, imagine that rope is attached to the top of your head and that 1t
 is constantly being pulled upward. When you sit, be sure that the lower part and the middle of your
 backbone touch the back of the chair. Keep your stomach flat. In addition, do this Jac Ausr exercise that really helps to cor
 rect bad posture and fills in hoi-
 lows in the chest.
 Stand erect with heels together. Relax your muscles and, inhaling slowly, bring arms upward until they are parallel with your ears. Palms should face forward. Then,
 without twisting or turning hands force the arms backward until your shoulders ache and arms be- gin to get tired. Exhale and bring;
 hands back to your sides. Repeat twenty times.

 They will throw Np their hands but I've decided that our mothers were extravagant cooks. At least, 1 remember very well that there were plenty of left-overs in the kitchen at home that were just thrown away because they were not considered "fit to do anything with" Most soups, for instance.
 To-day we know that bit of leftover soup is one of the best seasoners we can have. We use 1t in sauces, gravies and even sal- ads.
 For instance, dishes made with rice, macaroni, spaghetti. uried beans and noodles gain q lot py the addition of tomato soup or bouillon.
 Meat gravies and many salads are given richness of flavor by adding bouillon, Consomme i'm - proves cream sauces and jellied salads. Cream soups can be made into satisfactory sauces for veg etables of contrasting flavor. And | try tomato cheese toast for lunch con. using soup for the tomato part. S Tomato Cheese Soup Two cups chopped American cream cheese. cup milk. cup | tomato. soup, triangles of toast. Put about teaspoon butter In a smooth sauce pan.

1.--I concluded from a sort of rough test some years ago that most, women prefer to be rated as beautiful---at least "good>to look at." Why not? Intelligence In Q woman--at least enough for prac- ticil purposes--is usually taken for granted until proof to the con trary becomes obvious. We do not examine the intelligence of every woman we meet but we do look at her. Men are attracted first to q woman by her looks. No man in his senses ever fell in love, at sight. with a woman's brains. He may wake up lated to regret what he has let himself in for, but beauty or what he thinks Is beauty--is the. gate he goes in by.
 2.--Not a particle. The old no- ton that somehow the blood car ries the heredlty from parents tc children has been exploded by the discovery that all the feredity is contained in the germ-cells which

are set aside at birth and are not! affected to any measureable de- gree by what happens to the blood or body cells.
 3.--Prof. F. H.. Hankins, sociol- ogist of Smith College, says: Just as the Nordic skin, unlike that Of the negro. will burn but not tan, so the moron, unlike the gifted child, remains a dul1ard amidst the most perfect epvironmental stimuli. ... Millions of :. children are subject tp mpsical training, but, relatively few reveal musical talent. If it were any, where nearly true that brilliant men and women could be pro- duced by education we should have millions of them." The fact that only is,out one child in two hundred can be called gifted makes a pretty strong case for heredlty, although environment is always very important.

so YOU STILL NURSE THAT
 WINTER COUGH?

50 YOU STILL NOhSE THAI
 WINTER COUGH?
 If one has chronic bronchitis, what, asks an attorney, are the three best treatments in the order of their superiority?
 Lawyerlike answer that good deal depends on the circumstances. What are the three best answers, in the order of their effectiveness, to the village constable's inquiry as to the whereabouts. of the fire? Hypothetically, perhaps. but ac- tually can you be certain that $1O will appease the injured dignity of the corporate community? ,t4
 First, if the individual with cron- ic bronchitis is past fifty, I suggest that he take 1-200th grain of gly- ceryl trinitrate, formerly called nitroglycerine, every two or three hours throughout the day for three months or more. He should carry small vial of tablets with him and take them by dissolving in the mouth, as those subject to angina do.
 Next, If there Is copious expec- toration. and circumstances permit. a sojourn in the southwest is ben eficial, summer or winter especially in the winter. No time to stop here to arguc--suffice that this move will not enable one to escape be- ing exposed to "coid."
 Through the winter one with winter cough should endeavor to maintain his store of vitamins at the optimal level. I suggest that he take daily capsule of haliver oil or. if it is not repugnant, daily tablespoon of plain cod liver oil. for, the A and b. and perhaps q daily spoonful or two of minamin In tomato juice and the other vi- tamins. /
 Wherever and whenever possible chronic bronchitis sufferers should indulge in sun baths; at least ex- pose themselves to sunlight as much as possible. If the smoke polluted air deprives the commun- ity of the healthgiving benefit of sunlight. then buy an untraviolet lamp from one of the manufacture CTS who robs you of sunlight and have artificial sunbaths at home paying for the current supplied by corporation that probably helps to cheat you out of sunlight. The smo moke-suppression thing is good joke on the boob public. so Is the health department which presum- ably enfOrces smoke depression The health department is turned over to the politicians, isn't it? Then cough, fool. cough. Cough up to reward the interests that keep you coughing.
 One with chronic bronchitis who cannot conveniently spend the win tcrs in the southwest can neverthe- less enjoy every advantage of the ideal winter climate at home, in my opinion. The secret is to set the household temperature at GA to 6S degrees r. and kep plenty of water evaporating in the air throughout the season of articifical heating
 When there is emphysema asso- ciated with the chronic bronchitis, belly breathing exercise, and som' times. an elastic binder or belt helps. When there is bronchiec- tases postural exercise or treat ment helps.

 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Iron in Soil
 If one puts some copperas in a small garden for growing carrots, celery, eggplant, etc., wouldn't in the blood and sulphur for a healthy skin? c. H. O.
 Answer - Copperas 0ron sul- phate) added to the soil would probably be taken up by vege- tables, but vegetables and fruits furnish plenty of iron anyway, for the needs of the body. About sulphur, don't know. No harm to try the experiment.
 Olive Oil
 What you think of olive oil for dissolving gallstones (M. S.)
 Answer--It is useless for the purpose. That idea Is perhaps based on fraudulent "gallstone cure" which has been sold to thou sands of gullible customers. The dupe takes 0 large dose of oil (olive oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil or some other vegetable oil, usually colored and favored to dis guise iD, and a short time later a disguised Seidlitz powder. The aI- kali of the Seidlitz powder reacts with the oil in the intestine to form a soapy substance, which Is later passed in Jumps, and the dupe imagines these soapy Jumps are "galistones."

BY RETAIL SALES
Industrial Pace Also Rises,

Feel Slackening.

NEW YORK, August 30.-Rising
trends in retail trade and industrial
production but slackening in whole
sale markets was reported today by
Dun & Bradstreet in its weekly survey
Of business conditions.
THE Summer season Is closing
with some of the most spectacular in
creases in many years recorded for
both the production and distribution
of merchandise, and with preparations
under way for wider advance during
the Fall" it stated.
Although production In a few divi-
sions was curtailed to permit arrange
ments for higher schedules. the gen.
eral rise of industrial operations has
yet to be checked" it said.
The report pointed out that because
Of the rising trend Of retail distri-
button at the close Of August last year
increases over the comparative show
ing of 1884 were smaller than during
the opening weeks Of the month, as
the estimated gain for the country
was held to range of to 20 per
cent.
Following the excellent turnover
since the first of the month";" the
survey continued, Tighter buying was
in evidence in most branches of the
wholesale markets during the week.
Retailers already have accumulated
substantial inventories and now are
awaiting the test of consumer buy
ing before making additions to their
previous commitments. I"
There were no developments dur
ing the week to alter perceptibly
the average Of Industrial operations,
which held to 20 to 80 per cent above
