According to a January London dispatch King George insisted on going a-hunting for field game at Sandringham and would not listen to his physician pleas that he spend the winter on the Riviera. The doctors imagine the kings chest and lungs were left delicate by his illness of six years ago. But His Majesty remained adamant to tehir importunities and only to humor them consented finally to run down to Eastbourne on the channel.
 In such circumstances 1t must bep retty tough to be a monarch. I can well understand 1t would never do for the king to give the doctors the haw-haw, even though he knows darn well they're just a bevy of old women fussing about with their cold phobias and all that sort Ofthing. At the same time 1t is plain the poor man has to put up the best argument he can, for if he evinced just a shade more compliance the doctors would have him swathed in red fiannels and all sewed up for the winter. On the whole, I think His Majesty gave an excellent account of him. self, for man in such difficult position. Unofiicially King George takes little stock in the cold ob- session, I'll wager. Delicate chest and lungs! Bah-bar!
 The annual discovery of the cause and cure of "the common cold was made this year in De- cember, by q pr. Meyer who was director of the Hooper Foundation for Medical Research of the Uni vcrsity of California. As a rule the discovery is given to the public toward the end of January or. early in February. but this year the Uni- versity of California was deter mined to cop the publicity, so the story broke in December. Tn the present state of knowledge" said Dr. Meyer as the newspapers pre- scented the story, "the only depend- able advice for an individual with cold is to go to bed and to iso- who may catch it."
 Had the director let it go at that, the effect would have been fine. But having given the only de- pendable advice he could not re- sist the impulse to expatiate a bit. He said recent experimental evil dence indicates that there Is no single cause of the common cold; some colds appear to be caused by

1 bacteria or by filterate viruses which are infectious or contag 1 ious; others appear to be caused | by outside influences that are not transmissa ble from one person tc another.
 So already, you see the only de. pendable advice is nullifed. Ii some so-called "colds" are due tC non-infectious causes, who is go. I ing to put himself to any incon' venience to avoid communicating his disease to others?
 Having gone so far, Dr. Meyer i decided to make a thorough jot of it. He averred, somewhat orac- ularly, that statistical as well as experimental proof clearly show that chilling of the body is an i'm portant predisposing cause ol colds. Cold weather increases tho chance of infection, etc, etc.
 Dr. Meyer means that it seemi to him. Like too many other~ mod l ern interpreters of science he as sumes that if he imagines any thing is so it must be so. But tha isn't science at all. That is jus the same old empiricism that ha: served medicine so well for thou l sands of years.
 If chilling of the body or colo weather has anything to do witt the ailment in question. then the "only dependable advice" this re- search authority would give is no quite dependable, after all.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris - (UP) - Birds, beasts, and flowers have burst into print with the spring. They appear on light surfaces and white, sprinkled far apart and done in rather large and lifelike designs, and also close together and done in such tiny reproductions that you aren't quite sure what the design Is until you observe it closely.
 Birds beasts and flowers burst feather. but of all the colors of the rainbow, flock together in some of the new prints. Ami mals include the three little pigs and the snorting. snarling wolg, horses, dogs, cats, chick ems, elephants and the sly old fox. Flowers are in all sizes and colors and in wool, silk, taffeta, velvet, chiffon, linen and brocade. At fashionable resorts, bags are not seen as often as the more spa cious and practical vanity box l cases with room for everything. Earrings are of the pendant va riety, nearly touching the should CTS at times, and long diamond necklaces are worn. Hair orna- ments mostly are tiny bows, feath- CTS and flowers stuck in little cluster of curls near the front Of the head.

AMERICAN RECIPES HAVE
 A FAME ALL THEIR OWN
Here Is Historic Crab Soup That Has Come Down to
 Us From the Days of George Washington
By MADAME ALEXANDER

In a recent publication I stum-
 bled upon an article that hit my fancy. It was the result of research
 by two young American women,
 Dorothy Ducas and Adele Brown, and it contained spirited defense of American food. The American
 cuisine, they contended, was com
 ing into it's own, and the leader or the sponsors was none other than
 Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 Others, too, they mentioned were
 delving into culinary Americana. and they gleefully pointed out that
 husbands reluctance to attend din- ner parties withered before pros-
 poets of simple and hearty food.
 They cited the case, about which
 I, too, had heard, of a popular
 New York matron who held a re-
 union of guests she had entertained at her ranch in Wyoming and who served, in her oak-paneled living room on Park avenue, the selfsame menu that had delighted them be- fore. From a tripod kettle set in the fireplace, she labeled steaming
 bowls of black bean soup, while in dividual beefsteaks were sizzling on the open grate. Beneath the austere gaze of portraits by Sar- gent and Brewer, baked potatoes were raked from hot coal; pot cheese, sliced Bermuda onions and hardtack appeared, and coffee was served in tin cups. As the writers
 pointed out, it was meal that had
 been eaten thousands of times in
 the days of the opening of the
 west, but it's originality was hailed all along New York's Gold Coast. It it is the lore and tradition of
 European cookery that you feel
 you will miss in espousing the cause of the American cuisine, Miss Ducas and Miss Brown point out that we, too, have dishes-with- I a-history. Take, for instance, Mrs Washingtons crab soup. a special
 occasion dish at the White House. Crab Soup a la Washington
 It takes a whole quart of milk. | eight hard shell crabs. two hard boiled eggs. and such minor addi- tions as the grated peel of lemon, tablespoon of butter, a table, spoon of flour, . teaspoon of Wor- cestershire sauce, three quarters of a cup of sherry, a half cup of
 cream. salt and pepper. Blending these is a solemn ritual. imbued

f.-No. It is because women had little chance to organize for other than church work until the past half century. Men have always dominated and kept their secrets about war or politics or business to themselves banding into secret societies for the purpose. They build up elaborate and ridiculous rituals. wild dances, funny clothes, solemn parades, etc, to make these secrets seem important. Now that women are forming all sorts of organizations they have shown they have no use for all this fuss and feathers and are, therefore. organizing for practical individual and social improvement.

Years ago when I was a girl fhore was no drinking among high echbol students. True there were revTer students, but working < on 'iDercentages there still was none. That was some time before fhe prohibition era too.
 Parents and teachers had no problem on, their hands because fhe young people themselves at tended to 1t. If a young fellow (never a girD fell from grace ana tainted his breath with anything stronger than sarsaparilsa, he was politely dropped and kept dropped until he sweated and worked his way after long probation back Into the good graces of his fellow stu dents.
 The boys of those days were no eissies either. As l look back l remember what real chaps they were. Not few of them now are known all over the land.
 Nowadays, unless one is blind, deaf and dumb, there is every evil dence of drinking among the young. Parents lie awake at night wondering where their Jim or Mary is. Maybe Jim Is seven- teen. Perhaps Mary in fifteen. Is 1t any wonder that heads get gray and hearts give out and people learn to hate the sound of tele- phone bell after ten at night? Hate it and dread 1t?
 Teachers Evadc Problems
 And the years go on and noth- ing is done about it. High school principals, and teachers either do not know about 1t or else they feel, and perhaps rightly, that their Jurisdiction over students ceases at the door. Parents shrink from publicity and fear that any undue interest on their part will mark their son or daughter. Be- sides parents cannot accomplish much unless they organize and put their full force behind any dis ciplinary measures adopted.
 Anything that is done would have to have the cooperation of both schools and parents. But once started I think it would pay.
 No boy or girl going to high school or any private school or pre-college age has any business within a mile of a whiskey bottle. College students, it must be pre- sumed, are responsible for their own actions. These children are not. They need to be saved from themselves and for themselves.
 Never a reformer, am adopt ing a new note in this matter. What manner of country is 1t that permits its youth to stay out until all hours of the morning or even be present at parties where there is drinking even though they don't drink themselves? Children think of it.
 School Laws COuntenance It
 They feel pretty safe because compulsory education laws make it difficult to expel them, but it seems to me that laws can be changed and should be if it means the good of the school and the good of the child. The motor car makes 1t all so easy. It provides such n good alibi. And parents fall for this stuff and for the old bewhiskered gag about them be- ing behind the. times and all the kidd doing it. They want to stand in right with their youngsters and let fe go.
 There is nothing in the world as their safety is concerned. If daughter. But there is nothing so weak or silly as being fooled or bulldozed by them. There are Thousands of splendid young peo-

which is also about 7all that lazi- ness is. In fact all these factors form vicious circle any one lead- ing to the others. The answer Is q qualified Yes.
 3.-The large majority do not. This is shown by the fact that the percentage of divorced persons in hospitals for the insane, psycho- pathic wards, etc, is much above their percentage in the general population. For example, in Illi- nois, there are eleven times as many divorced persons in the state hospitals for insane as their relative numbers in the outside population would call for if they were as normal persons on the whole as people in general. The plain fact is that the chief cause of divorce is not that great many people cannot adjust them selves to life itself.

 YOURSELF

"You give us any number of req sons for using rouge, Hpstlck, creams and powder, but you never have told us why'you advocate 1atl polish." writes a woman in large southern city. Do you honestly think 1t improves the appearance of nails that are carefully and per- fectly groomedT'
 I really do think so.
 Tn the first place, shiny polish gives the hands a finished look and, particularly if 1t is colored-- even slightly = it tends to make them look more feminine.
 Secondly, nail polish deserves some credit for the feeling of self confidence and neatness it gives the woman who wears 1t. If you doubt this, wait until your. malls are in horrible condition and then step into a shop for a bang-Ep professional manicure. Or. if you like, give yourself a good one at home. When the procedure js finished, the chances are ten to one that you'll feel like g new person.
 Go to a bridge party without nail polish one week and, the next week, put some on before. you start out. Be conscious of your hands on both occasions. Then. later on. try to remember your exact reactions both times. Un- less you have deep-seated preju- dice against polish. I'll bet you remember most pleasantly the second party.
 You don't nave to wear bright nail lacquer, you know. There are dozens of shades. ranging from absolutely colorless on up to scarlet and wine tones. Generally speaking, the vivid colors are best for evening and dress-up affairs. Better stick to clear, light ones for daytime.
