 Now, about the rabbit himself. Is it against your grain to tell Nick that his small friend lopes about the countryside with polychrome baskets hung on his ears? Or like Uncle Wiggily, that he travels in state in a car?
 That is for you to decide. If you are realist you will take Nick along to the store and say, II want pink basket, a chocolate bunny, half pound of jelly beans and two blue eggs"
 If you believe that the impos- sible and the whimsical are per- missible in this technical world, you will keep it all a secret and let Nick supply the facts. You would be following a thousand or two-thousand-year old custom that never seemed to do any harm and made a lot of children right happy.
 No Conflict With Religion. I think we'll all agree that the

lore of tradition has no quarrel with religion. Easter is two sep. arate symbols.
 As for the fiction of the bunny. let us examine our own tastes and see if there is dividing line be- tween the beauty of fact and that of fancy in literature, drama and the other arts.
 Shakespeare used whimsy, the supernatural and the impossible. So did most of the old classists. Today we have Barrie, Dunsany, Molnar, Bradford and Connolly. Do you, friend parent, discriminate against the untrue for yourself?
 This is a far cry from our homely little Brer Rabbit, but 1t all comes back to the ledger of imagination to be balanced. Why worry about the nice little myth? It cannot hurt tiny children who take things at face valuve anyway, and the others are pretty sure there Is no fairy quadruped but like to pretend they think so. Copyright, 1885, NEA Service, Inc.

S.-While we cannot prove that it does this, yet, 1t is difficult to avoid the impression that a lower- ing of average intelligence is the almost inevitable result of general education. At the lower end of the scale, education enables a more and more stupid stock 10 survive. make living and produce childen. At the upper end. as education builds more and more complex society, 1t takes longer and longer fo rthe ambitious and enterprising to secure their kind of education. This delays their marriage and reduces the number of their children. Personally l see no remedy for this impasse other than a eugenical policy as wide and insistent as our educational policy.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS.
Sulphurous Acid.


 I eat n lot of fried apricOts. !t says on the package Contains Snl- phur Dioxidc." What Obpcction do you have to that? (L. J. R.)
 Answer-Sulphur dioxide is sul- phurous acid, the fumes of burning sulphur, to which the fruit is ex- posed in drying, for bleaching. and ofcourse the chemical tends to pre- vent decay and mould. Sometimes suphites are used instead-having practically the same effects. I have no objection to dried fruit con taining sulphur dioxide, provided one can't afford or obtain fresh fruit or dried fruit without the the chemical addition. Personally I'd prefer to worry along without any fruit for a while, if sulphur bleached dried fruit were the only kind available.

THE HUMAN HIDE IS IMPER-

VIOUS.
 A reader, wishing to obtain scientific reference or evidence oI the question of absorption through the skin, wrote an inquiry to thu one-man health magazine whicf was formerly controlled by thu American Medical association, an( in reply received stereotyped let ted without any individuals sigma ture, running as follows:
 Within limitations, (what- ever that may not mean) it is possible for certain fats to pentrate the unbroken skin. Solutions of drugs in water do not penetrate the skin, but it is apparently established that certain drugs when applied in the form of ointmcnts in nor- nal fats, of which 1anolin is a fair example, may be absorbed. Advantage is taken of this fact in the use of mercury by in- uction for the treatment of syphilis.
 Nothing in the letter is to be interpreted to mean that 1t is possible for substances to be absorbed by the skin and to nourisho the skin or the under lying tissues. Nourishment of the skin and the underlying tissues is supplied through the body as it is to all organs and tissues of the body.

GLORIFYING YOURSELF

The woman who wants to jair the Easter parade with a sylph. like figure, hair as shining as the light from amber-colored Cathedral windows and skin that is fresh as her corsage of violets treatments a minute longer.
 First of all, of course, the mat ter of health is important. You simply can't be at your best if your physical condition isn't up to par Make sure that you will get eight hours sleep each night from now on until Easter; that you will drink eight glasses of water day and eat sensible food. In addition, promisea yourself to do daily ex- | ercises.
 You need crisp salads and vege- tables instead of heavy, starchy fod and you ought to substitute fresh and stewed fruits for rich desserts. If your complexion seems to be grayish and sallow, mix a little bran with your cereal in the morning and increase the amount of water per day from eight glasses to ten.
 Be sure to take a daily bath, using a bath brush on back, shoul- ders and elbows. If the water in your community is hard, and you find 1t difficult to make thick father on the brush. try putting bag of oatmeal into the tub.
 Simply put several handfulls of ordinary breakfast oatfiakes into clean cloth, tie the corners firm ly together and throw the bag in to the tub. It will soften the wa ter and make your skin feel as smooth as a baby's.
 Salt baths are invigorating, too.
 When you have finished your regular bath, draw a tubfull of fresh water, throw in several cup fuls of salt and then soak yourself in the mild brine for fifteen min utes. Finish with fresh water shower.

The Easter Bunny may not be drawing on his white kid gloves or muttering, T must not be late or I shall displease the Duchess" but by this time he has his paws deep in dye and more possibly rubber gloves are more useful.
 Is it silly to tell children that his highness the E. B. will hide gay baskets behind the curtain on Easter morning? Or wicked? That depends on your point of view a. bout what constitutes foolishness- or wickedness.
 The Easter egg itself is symbol ical of the spring season. Those interest in folk lore will find in the archives of history this home ly commodity gilded or colored passed around among friends as token of joy and good will on Eas- ter. Not Tn the sense we of Chris tian nations interpret the Day, but an Easter named by the ancient nordics from Eostre the goddess of spring.
 Several festivals of ours. reli- gious and otherwise, 1t so happens, are coin cidental with seasonal holidays celebrated before the Christian era began. Such days were intrenched in the lore of peoples all over the earth and al- most unshakable in their traditions and customs.

 No other such festival is as uni versal today as this one of the Easter season. It is celebrated by divers peoples in various ways.

ings on the new tax measure on

The President put himself on

While three large charitable Or

Mr.. Roosevelt's position as ruinous

the exemption amendment would
be included in the measure.
