bread line. These cigarette bummef
make me sigh for the sood old days
when NJ lady smoked. BEN.
Answer-Maybe the girls who swipe
their cigarettes aren't quite as greedy
and grasping as they seem to be.
Maybe it is Just because they haven't
realized that when they take up a
mans vices it is up &c them to pay
for them like a man. Somebody once
said, you know, that when a woman
tried to be a man she never was
quite a gentleman.
THE modern girl is in a rather hot
spot in her social relations with
men. She doesn't know what to do
because, on one hand, there is the
old tradition that the man should pay
all the expenses of entertainment.
And, on the other hand, there is the
fact that the girl works side by side
with the boy and earns just as much
as he does.
In reality it is absurd and unfair
for the boy to have to pay for the
girls amusement when they go out
together. She should come across
with her share of the expense money,
yet many boys are offended II a girl
insists on going Dutch treat. And,
of course, 1t does give the girl CRATER,
of whom there are many, a chance to
deadbeat her way.
But here's hoping that girls gen.
orally will listen to Ben's plea and
take their own cigarettes when they
step out with the boy friend.
DOROTHY DIX.
nEAR MISS DIX have given my
heart to a man who still has four
years of college before he will finish
his chosen profession. I believed him
to be sincere and true, but when he
confessed that he had loved eight
other girls before me began to lose
faith in him. Do you think that after
he graduates he will still be true to
me? PACY.
Answer-Possibly, but II Is hun
dred-to-one shot you are taking on
wedding ring if you are depending on
him to supply it. Four years is long
test of any mans faithfulness, espe-
cially when he goes of to college. For
in that time he is thrown in a new
environment, with new people, new in
terests, new aspirations, new thoughts,
and he comes out a changed man.
And it is just luck if he is still in love
with the girl he fancied four years
earlier.

some "hot-weather facts" in regard
to the care of the dumb members of
the family. His general slogan was

he consented to go into details for

TN A household where there are
young children, who, naturally, love
their puppy or kitten or whatever it
may be. and want to play with it con-
tinually, real measures must be taken
by the parents to prevent an overdose
of affection. Handling young animals,
especially in hot weather, is dangerous
for both the pet and the child; the
former is apt to sicken and perhaps
die from the unnatural excitement
and nauling; the latter may pick up
vermin and even diseaSe-always more
prevalent in warm weather-and in
extreme cases be scratched or bitten
by the irritated animal.

have a yard, and the puppy shows a
tendency to dig, let him have a little
square of earth where he can scoop
himself out a shallow trench In which
to lie against the cool dirt. Put a
large pan of water nearby and see
that it is refilled frequently during the
day with fresh, cool water. A dog that
is subject to eczema should be given
barley, lithia or soda water.
An underfed dog rather than an
overfed one is preferable in Summer,
but care should be taken that the
proper balance of vitamins, minerals
and so forth is maintained. Food is
energy fuel: dogs are less energetic in
hot weather than in cold, and should
be fed with this fact in mind.

nOGS left in hot, unshaded yards,
where the sun beats down for
hours, are subject to sunstroke, Just
like humans. Should sunstroke occur,
apply ice packs Immediately to the
dogs head, give a little spirits as
first-aid and send for the veterinarian.
Running fits" in the dog days are
q common occurrence with puppies,
and sometimes with older dogs. They
are not serious in themselves, being
due, usually, to indigestion, lack of
necessary vitamins, -exertion,
ETC., but their real danger lies in the
fact that so often they give rise to
a rabies" scare, and the dog is de.
stroyed unnecessarily in a fit of
hysteria, when a few days care and
treatment would have cured him COM
pletely. A person bitten by a dog in
one of these fits should Immediately
apply antiseptic to the wound or have
it cauterized, and get an expert to
examine the dog for possible symptoms
of hydrophobia. Ten to one the re-
suits will be negative, but in the case
of positive diagnosis, the person
should proceed to place himself in
the hands of competent physician
at once, to undergo the Pasteur treat
ment.
I was particularly interested in
finding out the truth about the value
of clipping long-haired dogs in the
Summer. Knowing that dogs do not
perspire through the skin, have long
wondered just how great a help the

TIME dress illustrated is vaguely
reminiscent of the Gibson girl,
the darling of the 90s. It's the
Il sleeves that do the trick, for
they are definitely lego mutton,
pleated in at the armhole and tight
at the outline. Then there is the
blouse, shirt waist in feeling, with
darts on the shoulder, and the little
round collar, with tabs, buttoned down
at the base of the throat. There is a
panel In the back of the blouse, which
makes it conform to the lines of the
figure. This panel is repeated in the
skirt back. The skirt is actually a
wrap around, buttoning at the right
side. 1t is really darling of a frock,
very young, very demure, and the sort
of thing you'll love to wear, now, in
cotton or silk, or in the Fall, in thin
wool, or one Of the fine flannels.
In observing the Summer scene it is
found that light blue leads all other
colors in popularity. The mauve
shades are very good, and gray Is worn
by some of the smartest women.

BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. ID.
WHEN youngsters first start school
W there is usually physical ex-
animation by nurse and doctor and
the parents may be notified that their
youngster has tonsils and adenoids
that should be removed.
The reaction in most homes is one
of common sense; the youngster. is
sent to the family doctor and his ad-
vice is followed.
Now the records show that in the
families where the youngsters have
been well brought up" at least one
half of them have had their tonsils
removed, whereas 40 years ago none
of their parents underwent the oper-
alton.
When it was discovered some twenty
to thirty years ago that rheumatism
often followed tensilitis, and heart
disease followed rheumatism, many
tonsils we're removed as a safety
measure" Today careful considera-
tion is given to every case before
tonsils are removed. This is because
the tonsils are now recognized as Of
use in warding of the ailments Of
children by filtering poisons or HARM
full organisms out of the blood.
TonsilS are not removed now simply
because they are large or have the
white or very slightly yellow wastes
in the little crypts or holes in the
tonsil. The tonsils are removed only
when their ability to ward of all
ments is lost, and they are unable to
prevent these poisons or organisms
from passing through them and get
ting into the blood stream.
Once the tonsil has broken down. i"
there is likely to be attacks of ton
silitis or sore throat, and the tonsils
and the tissues surrounding them be-
come dark red and inf1amed. Follow
ing these attacks OF tonsilitis or sore
throat there may be symptoms else
where in the body-pain in the
muscles, pain in the joints, interfer-
ence with the heart action.
The best evidence that the tonsils
are giving trouble and should be re-
moved is the frequent sore threats,
but even If the throat is not sore but
the lymph gland in the neck is large
or painful or the tissue about the ton
sill is purplish red, then the tonsils
are doing more harm than good and
should be removed.
The point then is that tonsils are
not now needlessly removed, IS their
value to the body, when healthy, and
likewise their danger, when infected,
are carefully considered by the family
physician and the surgeon.

my place with mother. I just couldn't
bear to leave her. I wouldn't think
of it."
"What did she say?"
"Oh, of course, mother said go by
all means if liked, but knew she
hated the thought of it. If I get a
job it must be one that lets me come
home every night. OF course, that
means two-hour trip back and forth,
but wouldn't mind just so didn't
have to leave mother. She needs me
so much"
Mother does not need you that
much No mother needs to have her
daughter or her son tied to her like
that. Most mothers would not per-
nit it. Children must grow up and
get out of the home atmosphere and
into that of the life they are to lead.
This girl was not thinking so much
C. her mother as she was of herself.
She dreaded the idea of leaving
mother because she would have to
make some decisions unsupported by
her mother. She would have to initi-
ate some programs without her
mothers advice. She would have to
be q person in her own right, and the
though of that frightened her into
hiding. Fear held her to the safety
of her home and her mothers protec-
ton.
. Such q thought must be corrected.
All young people, boys and girls alike.
must cut loose from the protection
of other people and go out alone.
Home becomes a place to come back
to, not to hide in. If girls or boys
find themselves sparing mother the
shock of their absence the best thing
to do is to get out and let mother
suffer the shock. c. tell you that
she will be well able to sustain it, in
fact, to smile about it. She wants
her children to show themselves able
to face the world and wrest personal
happiness and success from 1t. She
is not well pleased with child who
clings to her and says it Is because
she needs him so much.
You who have been graduated from
high school must on to college,
trade school, business school, machine
shops and studies and learn how to
work and sustain yourselves. Don't
waste time about getting there. The
world Is waiting for your contribution.

clipping was to them. My authority
informs me that long haired dogs can
stand the heat just as well as short
haired ones, for hair is an insulation
against heat as well as against cold,
but he does say that the practice Of
clipping or plucking dogs for the Sum-
mer months is extremely advisable,
as it removes dead hair which might
cause irritations and exposes any skin
trouble to the open air and treat
ment. Also it is a decided advantage
in protecting the dog from loss Of
blood due to ticks and f1eas, as the
insects may be more readily seen and
removed.
OATS and rabbits seem pretty in
dependent, and even heat doesn't
appear to bother them. However,
the hot days are trying on them, as
we'll as on other animals, and the
same general rules for their care
should apply. Shade, water-although
you don't often see them drink it, 1t
disappears with astonishing rapidity-
quiet, and little handling, should do
much to alleviate their sufferings.
I found that my two rabbits we're
literally painting in their hutch out
in the garden, the other day-although
the hutch Is convertible model, with
a specially shingled, sloping roof, and
sides that can be opened to the
breezes. I finally got the idea Of
setting the garden sprinkler so that
the drops of water fell upon the little
roof-by keeping this up for several
hours during the hottest part of the
day, I found that the temperature
was greatly reduced and the rabbits
seemed to take new lease on life.
In fact, when they were let out for
their evening run, Flopsy bit Benja-
min in an excess of high spirits and
staged such a wild scamper that 1t
took half an hour to get her back
into the hutch again. Also. discov-
cred that, when he thought no one
was looking, Benjamin would dip his
paws in his water pan and scrub
his face well, as cooling measure!

RIRDS should not be exposed to
much sunlight. but also the room
in which they are kept should not
be darkened too thoroughly for hours
at a time. This is apt eventually to
affect their eyesight, and also may
throw them so out of singing prac-
tice that they never take up their
music" again!
Use commonsense and kindness
with your pets and they will have
as comfortable a Summer as the
rest of the fanily-repaying you a
hundredfold by their good health,
high spirits and answering loyalty
and affection.

or other I couldn't get the children to

because almost every one has had a
struggle to get certain foods into a
repertoire which should be complete
when the child is grown. Another
mother brought spinach into high
favor by serving it in bread nests with
hard-cooked egg yolks in each. A
different form of preparation or serv-

to make him forget real or fancied
prejudice against flavor.

BY LOIS LEEDS.

NEAR MISS LEEDS: I am girl
IA years old and have naturally
wavy hair, but in dry weather nearly
all the wave comes out. My mother
will not let me get permanent wave
because she thinks it will ruin my
hair. What can I do to restore the
wave? (2) How can make short
eyelashes longer? MAE.
Answer-Naturally curly hair is
usually affected by temperature and
humidity. Steam your hair with hot
towels or the steam from a tea keI-
tie before setting your wave, or Just
Use a curling fluid before adjusting
water-waving combs and end curriers'.
If you use steam be careful not to
burn yourself.
Massage your scalp for 10 minutes
a day and brush your hair well, if
you want your hair to be lovely. Set
your wave once or twice a week: do
not wet your hair every day. as this
would make it drier. You might per-
suade your mother to let you have
ringlet ends permanently waved; this
would not destroy your natural wave
or top of your head. General health
also affects natural curliness. so keep
yourself physically fit. CD Apply
white vasline or olive oil to the roots
of your lashes every night or use a
commercial eyelash grower.
LOIS LEEDS.
Dear Miss Leeds-I was much in
terested in your article on dyeing and
bleaching hair. I am 40 years old,
was blond as girl, but at 80 my hair
had turned a drab taupe color with
no lights on it, and made me look
sallow. 1t was not gray. went to
a hair specialist, who is an artist
in his line, and he Ightened my hair
to its original color, not, however,
affecting the gray hairs. My family
admires the bright. well-groomed ap-
pearance of my hair without suspect
ing that I go once every three months
to have 1t frightened. I am not a
bleached blond. I agree with you that
white hair is f1attering and dignified
with age and wrinkles. and I intend
to have it when the time comes. ]
do not think that really good hair
dresser ever wants to turn out an
artificial looking woman. do you?
POSITIVE.
Answer-Your hair problem Is one
that confronts many women, and I
think you have solved it in q very
good way. It Is always a wise plan
to 60 to reliable hairdresser and
take his Cor herr expert advice on the
best method for handling your prob
lem. Bright golden hair is not be-
coming or natural with ageing faces,
but when hair fades and becomes
drab prematurely it may be bright
ened with fiattering results.
LOIS LEEDS.
Dear Miss Leeds-Please tell me
how to change my hair back to its
natural color. It Is dark brown, but
in some places is almost white. Is
it harmful to use an egg shampoo
every time the hair Is washed?
READER.
Answer-Streaks or spots of white
in the hair may be congenital or ac-
quired. I take it that your condition
is of the better type called acquired
canities, which may be Of three types,
namely. senile, premature and acci-

IN DISTRICT DRIVE
Four PenaIized in Campaign
to Enforce Weights and
Measures Law.

A drive by George M. Roberts, Dis
trict superintendent of weights, meas
ures and markets. to insure the deliv-
cry to consumers of sanitary bread of
proper weight resulted in the convic-
ton in Police Court yesterday of four
bakers, two of whom were fined. the
other two being given suspended SEN
tences.
Those fined were Angelo Chipouras,
Riverdale, Md, S100, and Peter Theo-
dor, operator of a bakery in the 400
block of N street, $40. Jacob Taitel-
baum and Louis Miller. both having
stores in the 1000 block of First street.
were sentenced to pay $25 each, with
the fine suspended.
Chipouras was convicted of violat-
ing the weights and measures law by
selling bread to District merchants
which neither bore a label showing the
weight of the loaves nor the name and
address of the bakery.
Theodor was convicted Of failing to
show the weight of the loaves on his
wrappers. while Taitelbaum and Miller
were charged with failing to label the
bread with the name of the baker and
the weight of the loaves.
In a statement issued after the con-
victions, Roberts declared that unless
bread is labeled with the name and
address of the baker consumers do not
know whether it has been produced
under sanitary conditions, and unless
the weight is stated they do not know
whether they are receiving full-weight
loaveS.
