And new as today itself Is white
gloria umbrella with patterned bands
and white carved ring handle, look
ing toward Summer. Just the thing
to use with an all-white rain cape
and white rubber sandals.
The rain cape seems to be definite
favorite with everybody, due, no doubt,
to its casual nature, easy to put on
over any coat or dress and easy to
hang on the arm when the shower is
over. These come in a variety of
lengths and styles ranging in price
from IS cents to $2,65. Quite the
incest and most practical is the mill
tary cape. IS inches in length and
ample in width, made with large arm
openings and covered by second cape
of finger-tip length. It is lovely in
white, but may be secured in colors.
Some capes have slashes for the arms,
but the less expensive ones do not.
New variations of color and design are
now being shown. There is a COM
bination of rubber skirt that snaps
around the waist, cape to 60 over
it and beret to match, that all fits
into a square rubber bag that is
very useful.
ONE of the incest things for this
time of year is the thin rubber
sandal set that fits compactly into a
small-Sized case. These come in navy.
black with line of red outlining the
top, brown with tan, all white, and
white with black trim. One dollar will
bring you this little rainy day re-
quisite. These also come for men in
case just little larger than the
others and are splendid for tucking
into the suitcase on business trips.
To go back to the umbrella oues-
ton, we forgot to mention those clever
folding ones that can be made to fit
into a waterproof tubular bag less
than IL inches long. When you take
one out Of the case it looks rather
hopeless at first, but with a few gentle
pushes in the right direction you have
full-hedged umbrella and YOU lust
wonder how it all happened so easily.

Child's Help
In Dressing
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
THE active 2-year-old is a handful
at dressing time, because the
whole ceremony bores him excessively.
To hold him with one hand and insin-
uate him into his diminutive clothes
with the other is enough to
leave a mother limp. One device is
to offer the child some part in the
dressing process. This almost always
proves of absorbing interest, and may
be the solution to part of Mrs. Els
problem. She writes:
your column is such a help to
me, but need further assistance. My
22-month-old boy sleeps from $50
until 7:30, and then from 1890 until
o'clock. For the last few nights he
has been getting up at 8 or 4 In the
morning and appears wide awake. He
wants the light on and demands play.
How can I revise his sleeping sched-
ule? He eats at 7:30, 1880 and $50.
He is never still moment and
the greatest problem is to dress him.
After half an hour of struggling, I
am simply exhausted. I think, be-
cause he plays alone so much, in his
room or on the porch, that at dress
ing time he asserts his authority.
lat his hov fory
on the porch, as he climbs up on
them and over the railing. He plays
with toys only in the house. The
small ones he drops over the rail-
My work makes it imperative that he
must be where he is safe without
watching"
A few nights of wakefulness should
not lead you to revise what looks like
an excellent schedule. Better to
ignore the wakefulness and not worry
about it. Many children have these
wakeful periods and get over them
without much being done. If they
continue and become chronic, then
alter the daytime nap period. Change
it from 1890 to IL and end it at /.
This offers longer lapse between
nap and bedtime, and more chance for
the child to sleep soundly at night.
Let him put on his socks, help with
buttons, comb his hair, wipe his face.
any activity Of which he is personally
capable, even though he does 1t slowly
and awkwardly. Eventually, he will
be independent Of your help, and
meanwhile he may be interested
enough to stand still.

The producer never felt their inroads
in the least, and they were the con-
Sumers, so 1t was only the middle man
that suffered-which he did, most
horribly.
However, as the descendants of this
hard working couple increased, the
younger generations found that in
some cases the wool business was too
difficult, whereupon they set up shop
in various other enterprises, such as
linen closets, draperies-and even in
the paper business. into which some
of them were lured by wiles Of type
writer-eraser brush which had an in
tereSt in the same desk
In any event, their businesses be-
came varied and widespread, in almost
no time at all. And, after a while,
they all got together again, simply
retaining their control over the var1-
Gus branches, and merged into one
great movement, which was known as
the Eat Them Out Of House and
Home" campaign.
AS HAS always happened in such
cases Of despotism, the victims
finally rose in revolt and enlisted gas
equipped armies to fight the tyrants.
And now there is hope!
Seriously, however, now that that
little story is told, this is very i'm
portant moment in the buffao moth
cycle, and the vigilant housewife
would do well to be on the look out for
a new outbreak of the pests at this
time. Eggs which have been dormant
for the past cold months suddenly
come to life, and hatch, with dire re-
suits.
Brought to Washington from the
East some years ago, the insects have
made great strides in population, and
wrought havoc throughout certain sec
tions of the city. The female, which
resembles an under-siZed lady bug in
shape, is a chocolate brown with
cream -colored spots-very smart in
deed-and 1t Is so small that she can
squeeze through window screens. A
good place to look for her is on the
side of heavy draperies next to the
window. There really should be a
bonus for catching her, but she Is so
tiny that that is very difhcult.
The eggs are like fine, sandy dust
and that is why daily use of the carpet

Kellogg's ALL-BRAN Brings
Relief to Mrs. Namely

Read the following unsolicited
letter:
"Up to five years ago, l knew no
end Of suffering caused by constl-
patton" l used all kinds of laxa-
tives but only found relief till I got
used to them. My physician told me
to get some Kellogg's ALL-BRAN,
and instructed me how to use it.
"I did just as was told by my
doctor, and today send my high
est praise for what your ALL-BRAN
has done for me. - Mrs. Jas.
Namely, Jr., 9 Kilburn St., Valley
Falls, r. /.
*Due to insufficient "bulk" IN
meals.
ALL-BRAN provides gentle "bulk"
to help overcome common constlpa-
ton. 1t is also a good source of
vitamin B and iron.
The "bulk" of ALL-BRAN is often
more effective than the bulk" in
fruits and vegetables, as it does not
break down within the body. Two
tablespoonfuls daily are usually
sufficient. If not corrected this way,
see your doctor.

X ATHER1NE wanted wheel, so
she saved her money to buy 1t.
Her mother knew she was saving for
the wheel, but she said nothing about
it, hoping that she would change
her mind before the time came.
Katherine did not change her mind.
Every penny that came her way, that
could be spared from necessities, went
into the bank for the wheel. She
counted the money almost daily, until
the great day came when there was
the exact amount on hand.
II can buy it now, mother. Will
you come with me this afternoon?
want it for Saturday, please"
Nov, Katherine, you know that
you can't have a wheel"
What? Why. I've saved up the
money for it. You surely wouldn't
say I couldn't have 1t now, mother"
You'd be run over. There are
too many accidents. How would
feel if you went out on wheel and
got hurt? What would I have to
say for myself then? I'd never have
a minutes peace if you had a wheel
Now don't say another word about it,
I can't argue about it. don't want
you to ride a wheel"
Now what? 1t seems to me that
when child says he is saving to
buy something. then is the time to
say "yes" or mo" and not after the
saving is complete and the child
ready to make the purchase. And
what about the wheel? 1t is a great
pleasure for boys and girls. A fine
exercise. 1t takes them into the
air and gives them a chance to go
places, something every healthy boy
and girl must long to do.
There are certain sections of cities
and towns that are dangerous for
wheels, even for pedestrians. There
are other places where children may
ride their wheels with a maximum
of safety. if they are halfway careful.
When this is so the wheel ought to
be allowed.
I do not relish the notion that
our healthy boys and girls cannot
take care of themselves on a rea-
sonably safe road. I dread to rear
children who are in tear and trem-
bling all their days. A dash of
daring, an acquired skill in handling
themselves in emergencies is right
and greatly to be desired for them.
Let us not say mo" until we have
carefully surveyed the possibilities
and taken the character of the child
into consideration.
Some children can never be trusted
with a wheel. Either they are tenn
peramentally unsuited for it. or they
are needless and unintelligent in
handling it, or they have physical
defects that make riding out Of the
question. But that ought not to rule
out those who can manage a wheel
perfectly. Give them a chance.
Main street on Saturday morning
is out of the question. Certain streets
given over to heavy motor traffic
cannot be used by children on wheels.
or roller skates. But I have passed
through lovely towns and villages
whose StreetS-tree-lined, smooth and
not congested-are ideal for bicycles.
The sight of carefree children riding
along such streets, the sounds of
their happy voices, the tinkling Of
their bells as they signal to each
other and to the other trafickers,
has a certain assuring quality that
speaks OF youth dominant and strong.

sweeper or the vacuum cleaner is the
only possible protection for rugs. A
small hand vacuum cleaner for up
holstered furniture is also great
help, but not many houses have them,
and good brisk attack with whisk
broom must sufice.
90 OVER the clothes in all closets,
even those in daily use, examine
each garment carefully, out in the sun
and air, If possible, brushing thor
oughly. Washing the floor and the
walls Of the closet Is good precau-
tion, paying special attention to all
cracks and crannies where an egg de-
posit might be. Good strong soap and
ammonia water is recommended, and
then a careful spraying with an in
secticide made on purpose for buffalo
moths. Spray the clothes, too, as
added insurance against invasion,
And then, q month from now, do it all
over again.
Watch the underside of all rugs, and
go over the linen closet with an eagle
eye, good scrubbing and spraying.
Clean and spray all books-the bugs
have a special love for the glue in
the bindings-and clean and spray all
drawers containing papers and cloth
ing.
This should suffice to keep down
trouble If you don't find any, or even
one or two-but If the moths are
found in any real number, your only
recourse is to a reputable firm of ex-
perts, who will guarantee to put them,
and you, out Of your misery. Incl
dentally, 1t is wise to have your box
springs and mattresses examined by a
bedding expert, as the underside of a
box spring is Mecca to most buffalo
moths, and once there, they make
general havoc of the inside, where
you can't locate them.
MOST insecticides and sprays are
useless against a real invasion.
The only infallible remedy is to gas
them with hydrocyanic acid gas,
which, Of course, has to be done by a
regular concern. They will gas your
house, with everything in it but the
family, or they will take the furniture
down to their own gas chamber, and
do the job there, depending, Of course,
on the degree of the infestation.
Just word about their appearance,
to help you to identify them. AS I
said before. they-in the dangerous
stage. and when they are most likely
to be seen-look very much like
stream-lined automobile, having
sloping radiator, and a tapered stern.
They move like an armored car-hav-
ing no visible method Of locomotion,
and they are covered with black stiff
whiSkers like a Scottie pup.
If you are in doubt after this de-
scription-as you probably are, don't
hesitate, but place your little captive
in box or bottle, and hasten with
him to the Bureau of Entomology of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, to get an off1cial verdict on
his nationality.

need two, so that you can have one
on each end of the line and not be
caught in one of those late afternoon
showers that are so frequent a little
later on. Then. too. an umbrella
makes an ideal Easter gift.
Happily we have progressed a long
way beyond the plain black umbrella
that every one used to carry, so that
nowadays one hardly sees two of
kind, either as to the pattern of the
silk or the kind of handle. Your fancy
may be entirely satisfied in both of
these directions AS to handles, you
may have straight-lined modernistic
designs, round balls, all sorts of in
teresting heads of dogs and birds, and
bright color effects run through all of
them.

IN TEXAS they have been cele-
brating a unique festival. They
have been clarifying the mother
i in-law and they had professions
in her honor, and banquets and
speeches and all, and paid public
tribute to one of the most useful and
indispensable women in the world
and one of the least appreciated.
This is belated justice, but the re-
markable thing is that it comes at
all, for no other character has been
so traduced and misrepresented as
that of the mother-in-law. So long
have we regarded her from the joke
smiths point of view, or seen her as
the moralst pictures her as the
shadow that hangs over the home Of
the newly-wedS, that we have lost
sight of the fact that, in reality, she
is a special providence upon whom
those who have married her children
never call in vain in time of need.
WHEN all is well and prosperous,
w wife may have to give husband
an unusually good dinner and seek
the psychological minute when he is
well fed and so amiable a child could
handle him, to break to him the news
that mother is coming for a nice long
visit Or husband may have to pro-
pitiate wife with floral offerings and
candy before telling her that mother
wants to know if it would be con-
venient for her to come for month.
But far otherwise Is it, when old
man trouble has descended upon a
when there is a new baby
coming and Johnny has the measles
and Tommy has broken his arm and
the cook has left and there is not a
clean place in the house to sit down,
nor q bite of food that is fit to eat,
and the bills are running wild.s Then
the wire saying that mother-in-law
has answered the S o S call and
will be in on the evening train Is
tidings of great joy. Oh, believe me,
r-in-law may be the forgotten
woman most of the time, but she Is
always remembered in a domestic
crisis, and as her competent hands
bring order out of chaos and as her
strong shoulder slips itself under his
or her burden, she looks like
guardian angel to many a distraught
young in-law.

The Old Gardener Saws:

Seeds, which have been kept
over the Winter, ought to be
tested before they are planted.
There is no harm, indeed, in
testing new seeds, to make sure
that they are to germinate well.
This is easily done by counting
out a certain number. so or 100.
and putting them between two
sheets of blotting paper in a
saucer. dampening them and set
ting them in warm place. The
blotting paper must be kept moist
but not wet, and there must be
no surplus water In the saucer.
The seeds should germinate In a
few days, and the, number can
then be counted. At least 80 per
cent of them ought to sprout In
order to be satisfactory.

LOVES TANGLED
IN GEBHARDT
TRAGEDY

NEW YORK, Nov. IA CUS0.
Tangled strands Of international
romance, seasoned with poetry,
philosophy, jealousy and big busi-
ness. have been revealed in the
letters exchanged between the late
DR.. Fritz Gebhardt, German scien-
tist and industrialist. and his
blonde bookkeeper sweetheart,
Vera Stretz, charged with his
murder Tuesday.
Police, seeking q motive for the
killing, revealed other loves In the
lives of both the girl and the man.
It was learned that the daShing
doctor went out with another girl
o few hours before his death, and
that Miss Stretz followed him, con-
fronting him later in his apart
ment with an automatic to lend
emphasis to her words.
100 Letters, Wires
More than 100 letters and cable
grams were exchanged between
the two during Gebhardt's three
months stay in Europe, from
which he returned last Friday.
Police now believe that romantic
Vera, discouraged by the knowl-
edge Of Gebhardt'S wife and two
daughters in Germany, convinced
Of her hopeless love for him, be-
came enraged when she learned
Of his attentions to another girl,
and planned to take both her life
and his.
'tNew Home Awaits"
That the two planned TO share
an apartment was indicated by
one Of her letters to him. which
read:
My love: Your new home
awaitS you. Already there are
parts Of you here. These are
roses, your picture and myself.

shortly before his return:
