usually so cool and judicious.
Zoe was in no hurry to get on.

Turn on Stomach

The air makes a little pain in
the baby's tummy, and the pain
makes the baby cry. Obviously,
the air should be eliminated as
quickly as possible.
Our nurses in handling the
quintuplets have found that
, the simplest and best way of
bringing about the desired ef-
feet is to turn each baby flat on
its little stomach, directly the
feeding is finished. The little
girls now are old enough so
that, resting the weight on
stomach and chest, they can lift
their heads and look all about
them.
The slight pressure on the
stomach, when the child is
placed in this position, almost
Immediately pushes the air

thus relieved often before any
pain is felt.
This is one reason Why there
Is so little crying in our

little soprano voices could make

started to tune up all at once.

watch the horrid screen make

Miss Trevor has discovered
an excellent method for the
care of her skin. Besides very
thorough cream cleansings
every day, she bathes her face
with hot water and a good
soap about three times a yeek.
Now to let you in on a
secret! This particular treat
ment, recommended by IA
nous New York salon, is for
either dry, sensitive skin or
normal skin, both having en-
larged pores. You can now buy
this cream and give your skin
the same treatment of which
Claire Trevor approves.
Don't ever apply the cream
without first cleansing your face.

a little lax, a little tired, use a
circulation cream or other skin
stimulant before the pore re-

Pay particular attention to
either side of your nose and
mouth, your chin and the back
of each cheek close to the hair

larged pores lurk.

Written Exclusively for The
Washington Times
Dear Miss Fairfax:
A few days ago I read a letter
in your column which interested
me greatly. Some girls with
Government jobs wrote about
going to hotels to dance with
some of the young men who
worked with them in Govern
ment departments.
And after these young gentle
men became acquainted in resi-
dental Washington, they broke
dates and no longer showed up
for these hotel dances.
While the club was not regu-
larly organized as such, it was
understood when the members
Joined that it would hold to-
gether for a year at least. The
girls provided the leafs" and
the men paid the cover charges
or any other expenses incurred
at the dances.
Now we have had exactly the
same experience as these other
girls. Our alphabetical young
entlemen who worked in the
same offices with us were
mighty attentive until they
crashed" residential society,
and now they're distinctly high
hat.
It does seem so unfair just
because men are numerically
more scarce than women, that
they should have all the so
cial advantages.
In spite of this, countries
will have wars and kill off the
very flower of young man
hood. The survivors have no
difficulty in qualifying as tea
hounds and dancing dervishes.
MARGIE.
That the tea hounds and
dancing dervishes have their
own niche in the cosmos has
been proven by the fact that
you miss them now that they
have strayed into residential
society.
Something I read in the
newspaper the other day
should be encouraging. 1t was
to the effect that men outnum-

Give Food SlOWZy

When a baby is spoon-fed, each
mouthful should be given to him
slowly. The process is difficult
enough anyway, at the begin
ming. The food somehow seems
to land anywhere but in the
child's mouth. His cooperation,
while the technique of the bust
ness remains a novelty, is far
from perfect.
Instead of opening her
mouth, our little Yvonne
pushed with her tongue
against her first spoonfuls of
milk and cereal and uttered a
"'bla-bla" of protest.
It is a funny performance
and, for the first few occa.
Sions, rather a messy one. But
the only thing for the mother
to do is to make her aim as
perfect as possible, and to
make haste slowly.
Once the little mouth gets
accustomed to opening, bird
fashion, to accept the spoons
contents, the time is not far
off when the bottle.feeding and
its apparently unacceptable after
math of collie may be ended for
good.

Other Methods

let the mother whose baby

breakfast, lunch or dinner, and
see if he will not be helped.
Or she may hold him for a
moment over her shoulder. A
gentle rubbing of the little
chest-not as low down as the
stomach itSelf-or patting of
the little shoulders and back,
sometimes is helpful in getting
rid of the air that makes the
trouble.
Babies should be taught one
lesson in table manners at an
early ge-to eat slowly. No
baby should be permitted to
hurry over his food, just as no
adult should permit himself to
do so. In each case the meal
Is likely to disagree.
One way in which little babies
sometimes are made to eat too
fast is by using a nipple with
too large an opening in the rub
Der end which goes into the
baby'S mouth.
He thus gets his milk in too
large mouthfuls and with too

quickly, perhaps takes more food
than he requires and an upset

For quite a while even the
many sizes and proportions
available weren't much help
because the manufacturers
didn't realize that it wasn't a
matter of size alone. Only the
most womanly styles were
made up. Designers seemed, to
think that the surplice line
and coat dress were the only
two styles any woman could
wear.
But now. with the gradual
development that has taken
place over a number of years,
there seems to be real success
achieved at last. Designers
have learned to adapt all but

the result is real chic for the

HANDSPRING

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
When a young man is intro

shake hands with her?
RALPH.
I can quickly dispel all of
your embarrassment by telling
you one important fact-that a
man should wait for a woman
to offer her hand for a hand
shake, at an introduction or at
any other time. So be alert to
see if she is going to offer her
hand for a handshake, but
don't be so alert that you offer
your hand first.

Please tell me what is the
best food for curing nerve
troubles. Much obliged,
Mr.. A. F. T.
I don't know of any one
food which will "cure" nerv-
BUSINESS, Mr.. A. F. T., but
any foods containing the anti
neuritic Vitamin B are very
helpful in such cases. These
foods are mostly dried peas
and beans, green vegetables,
especially spinach, whole grain
breads and cereals, and yeast.
Dear Betsy Caswell:
Will you please explain to
me just what is a calorie and
why? MARY F.
A calorie, Mary F., is the
unit by which the heat, or en-
ergy-producing value of food
is measured. Only carbohy-
drates, fats, and proteinS are
considered in analysing food
from this point of view, as
water, minerals and vitaminS
provide neither heat nor en-
ergy.
The use of table of calories
is more or less limited, as in
dividuals vary in metabolism,
according to sex, age and hab-
it's Of living. 1t is safe to say
that men and women who live
a sedentary existence need
only half as many calories as
those who are very active

Dear Betsy Caswell:
Should I serve a white or
