Written for NEA Service
 On the days when your self-as- surance seems to be at low ebn, a professional manicure, or even one that you give yourself right at home, is a perfect pick-me-up. The next time you feel an attack of spring fever coming on, get out all the necessary implements, sit down in a good light at a rather low table and make up your mind to stay there until each finger looks like an advertisement for 2 new nail polish.
 First of all, remove old polish. Then, using a not-too-rough hle shape your nails according to the contours of your fingers. you have long, tapering ones, oval shaped nails probably will be best. If they arc short and rather plump, leave the nails pointed ard as long as possible.
 Of course, if you do a good deal of housework or use a typewriter every day, regardless of the shape of your fingers you simply can't " ear your nails too long.
 After the filing process, soak ore hand in luke-warm water and soapsuds for a few minutes. Rub olive oil or a cream, made esDe- cially for this purpose, around tEe cuticle on each nail, and, using an orange stick, wrapped in cotton, remove dead skin and push ttse cuticle back until the little white half-moons show. Never cut cu- ticle.
 Do the same on the other hand. When you have finished, scrub each finger with soap studs and little brush, dry carefully and use a buffer for a few seconds. Fol- ish is the next and last step.
 Remember that two coats will stay on much longer than one. The first should be thin. Allow 1t to dry thoroughly before you apply the second and heavier coat. If any of the liquid spills over on the cuticle or runs down across the tip of a nail, remove it immedi- ately.

AND WHERE DOES HER IAADYSHIP COME IN?

Isn't there some preventive for tobacco poisoning? asks a woman who says she has been a faithful fan for years and has derived much benefit from or Doc Brady's common sense health talks and much entertainment from some of the old grumpy's caustic com ments. (Yah, there, ten thousand critics who say one must never off, fend the sensitive readers feelings and all that quaint formalityD
 In this day and age (continues Mrs Reader) 1t Is impossible to avoid exposure to tobacco smoke. Some people do not choose to be- lieve tobacco smoke can poison others, and sometimes the result ing sick headache and nausea seem a high price to pay for their com panionship. suppose If the nau- sea occurred abruptly they might believe 1t, but 1t comes on only after two or three hours. when as a rule the smoking visitors have gone. I am extremely sensitive to tobacco smoke. Formerly l imag- ined the headaches were from eye strain and wore glasses needless. ly for years before I discovered the real cause. Now I never have the headaches if can avoid exposure to tobacco smoke, and do not wear glasses any more. It is a handicap to have to stay at home or have a headache, and even al home guests will smoke. People
 used to smoking are uncomfor. table when they can't smoke, and 1t seems now that smokers far outnumber non-smokers, so 1t is up to the minority to find an an. i tidote against tobacco smoke pois. oning. (Mrs H. A. W.)
 In the first place, although wo. men now do their good share o1 the smoking. 1t Is still bad man. ners to smoke where the indul. gence may annoy or inconvenienct others, especially your host oi hostess. And although a mans house is his castle 1t isn't much o1 a castle unless 1t is ruled by hel ladyship. Within reason. therefore the lady of the house should pre- scribe the regulations regardinl smoking, and any lout who ven
 lures to transgress thereby givei | up his welcome.

HOSTESS SHOULD SERVE LOW
 CALORY LUNCHEONS.
By MARY E. DAGUE NEA Service Stan Writer

Perhaps the greatest handicap in the fight against flesh is the bridge luncheon. The dieting guest fears that she may offend her hos tess If she fails to eat the tempt ing, rich food usually served, but also she knows that if she yields she undoes the work of weeks of stern reducing. So it occurred to me, why not | consider your own and everybody elses figure next time you plan a party?
 Take stock of the calories. It's the fats, starches and sugars that increase the calory count so alarm ingly. This includes in the food list list all breadstuffs-particular- ly hot buttered rolls so popular on luncheon menus-cream sauc- es, mayonnaise, whipped cream, very sweet desserts made with yolks of eggs, and rich cake and pudding mixtures.
 Instead of hot rolls serve toast ed crackers. |. Inventory of Calories. For the rest, fruit cocktail un- sweetened), jellied meats, broiled meats and fish, one hot vegetable simply dressed with salt and pep per and a very little butter, a plain green salad or fruit salad with French dressing, and for des- sert, a fruit whip or ice or a snow pudding. Bouillon and con- somme have almost no caloric value and make excellent first courses served either hot or jel- | lied.
 It may help you to rember that olives, and ripe ones particularly, increase the calory count extrava- gantly, one olive adding ten to fif- tenn calories. But radishes and | celery are low in calories.

He hesitated for a moment, star ing at her speculativeIy.
 "Is something the matter?" Mill licent asked anxlously, becoming uneasy under his steady appraisal.
 They want you at the house."
 "Want mel" "Yes."
 How do you know?"
 "I telcphoned."
 "oh, that's what took you so long,"
 "Yes."
 "Whom did you talk with?"
 Sergeant Mahoncy."
 "Oh," she exclaimed, feeling sud- denly cold with dread. What does he want?"
 "I don't know. He wouldn't tell me over the telephone. He said you had given him your word of honor you wouldn't skip out while he was carrying on his investiga- tions."
 "I didn't give him my word of honor" she blazed indignantly, 'and what's more, I'm not skipping out!"

 "You told him l was with you"' "Yes."
 Thank heavens for thatl wouldn't have him think was running away for anything. What does he want of me?"
 "He didn't say"
 "Well, if he wants me for some more questioning he can just walt until get ready to show up. I'm sick and tired of being cooped ur in that house and having people run in with all sorts of questions every time there's a new develop ment in the case"
 He nodded agreement and said suddenly, T know how you feel Millicent."
 Modified by his quick sympathy and having relieved her feelings by her burst of indignation, she said How about your father, Norman Have they found out anything?"
 "I don't know. That's what wor- ries me. Sergeant Mahoney would mt discuss 1t over the telephone but he did say the reason he want cd to see you was in connection with my fathers disappearance"
 She stared at him with wide, in- credulous eyes. Good heavens, they're not going to try to blame that on me, too"
 "No. I don't think so. Sergeant Mahoney wouldn't say just what he wanted. His manner was very pe- culiar. but he said he wanted to see you as soon as you could get there; that 1t related to my fathers disappearance"
 Then" she told him, i've will go back at once. If there's any, thing I can do to help clear that up want to do it."
 "Its all rather strange and conn plicated. What could you possibly know that would help Sergeant Mahoney in connection with that case?"
 Nothing. He'll find 1t out after he's asked me few questions.
 Then we'll go and see Phyllis Faulconer first" Norman said. II told Sergeant Mahoney we'd return but I didn't say just how soon that would be. If thought I could help Father I'd do anything, but Ser geant Mahoney Is following a false lead and I've hunch we're help ing Father more by running down

The following menu averages about $50 calories:
 Reducing Luncheon Menu.
 Bouillon
 Radishes Celery
 Chicken Timbales with
 Crowned Pineapple Slices
 Asparagus Salad Strawberry Fluff in Meringue
 Shells
 Black Coffee One tablespoon of cream and l lump of sugar in your coffee will add about 85 calories to the total number.
 One cup of bouillon is about fif- teen calories, stalk of asparagus five calories, and the radishes and celery not over ten. One dessert spoon of French dressing over the salad adds 100 calories so the sal ad will use up from 125 to 16t calories, depending on the number of asparagus stalks. This leaves around 500 calories for the tim bales and dessert.

 At the top right of the sketch, pink point d'esprit is used for a rather naive frock. The wide flounce on the skirt is topped by a self ruching. The shirred ho- dice and puffed sleeves are very childish while the pale blue satin sash adds no sophistication.

more readily than other animals of impending danger and of sources of food and thus the stupid specimens could pull through about as successfully as the more intelligent. Language enabled humans to build up sys- tems of education, taboos. etc.. so that as he says-"It comes about that, through the power of the written and spoken word, for sheer mass stupidity, the like of Homo Sapiens was never before seen in an astonished world of reasonably straightforward and honest animals"
 3. From hundreds of researches I cite a study that Prof. H. H. Newman, bioligist of the Univer- sity of Chicago, made on a pair of identical twins-the kind born from one cell and supposedly born with Identical intelligence. They were separated in babyhood and reared apart. One had two or three times as much schooling as the other and scored decidely higher on all sorts of intelligence tests. However, another pair reared apart with different amounts of education scored ale most in the same notch. So we are up against 1t. City children average higher than country children in school grades and on intelligence tests. Many psycholo- gists believe this is because the better schools and exciting en. vironment sharpen their wits others believe they are naturally brighter. The point is not ab.. solutely settled but evidence [ growing that education doei somewhat increase ones inborE capacity to become intelligent.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Spring Arrives

What Is sassafras root used for |? Any harm in giving 1t to child three years old, or drinking tea made of the root? Does the weed known as Spanish" have any medicinal value, used as poul'ice or in ointment? (Mrs D. w. E.)
 Answer-Sassafras Is a flavor only. Very large doses may act as narcotic poison. Unwise to give such things to a child-it culti- yates a craving for stimulants. Spanish needle (Bidens bipinnata) has been used as emmenagogue and as expectorant In bronchial diseases, though 1t is rarely used in medicine today. have no data on its use in poulice or ointment.

Man With Tin Ear Enjoys I'm. munity


 munity
 You said you would like to hear from anybody who has any experience in the effects of Vita min A on deafness. have one "tin ear''-totally deaf. Have been taking halibut liver oil for nearly a year. No effect on deafness, but have not had a cough or cold of any kind since started taking it. and formerly I was frequently confined to the house with such illnesses. (B. N. R)
 Answer-Thank you. There is good reason to believe that vita min A tends to maintain good im- munity against infections of the respiratory tract. Chicory greens (escarole), cream cheese. butter, American cheese. carrots. liver, spinach are among the richest natural sources of vitamin A. Copyright 1885 John F. Dille Go

SYNOPSIS


 NTLIICENT GRAVES, secre- tary to GEODGE DRIMGOLD, finds her employer In his ofitcc dead. JARVIS HAPP, u stranger offers to help her. He sends her to a beauty shop where she Is transformed Into a brunei, then takes her home, introducing her as his secretary. She meets Happ's son, NORMAN; his step son, ROBERT CAISE; MRS HAPP; and VERA DUCHENE, Mrs Happ's maid.
 That night a note under her door informs Millicent, "The wo- man in black ermine is here." MflIlcent sees the woman, tries no follow, but loses her. Millicent goes to the chauffcur's quarters. The chauffeur Is dead from Q bullet wound.
 Next morning SERGEANT MAHONEY takes charge or the case.
 Over the telephone Mrs Happ learns that her husband has been Kidnapped. She Is warned not to inform the police.
 Millicent tells Norman all she knows of what has happened. They locate the store where the whiskey found fin the chauffeur's room was sold, learn the purchase CT was a woman in a black fur coat. Norman traces the license number of the car MilIiccnt saw the woman in ermine driving.
 CHAPTER xXXII
 Millicent, despite her excitement remembered to check Norman Happ's impulsiveness with a warn ing. Don't call the name out loud'' she said.
 Norman Happ, covering the dis tance which separated him from the car, laughed reassuringly.
 Don't worry" he said. "I'm moi entirely fool"
 "Oh, I didn't mean that"
 'No offense," he told her, laugh ing good-naturedly. T know yor didn't. I just wanted you to set what precautions I took"
 He unfolded piece of paper or which he had scrubbed; Phyllis: Faulconer, 3S29s s&Baronne avenue Millicent's face showed her dis appointment, as she read the memorandum. "Oh," she said, "l thought 1t would be ."
 Thought is would be Vera Duchene?" He asked. as her voice faded into disappointed silence.
 She nodded. ''I don't know anything about de- tective business" he said, but understand detectives have to be careful not to jump at conclusions and then try to make the facts fit the conclusions. A good detective is one who goes ahead and gets the facts regardless of what they may be, and then draws conclusions from the facts"
 'sThat may be the way a good detective does 1t, but it stands to reason it must have been Vera Du- chene who was mixed up in this thing from the beginning"
 "Not necessarily"
 ''Certainly," she told him. "it couldn't be this Phyllis Faulconer. Why, none of us even know her." "And none of us," he pointed out, "know the woman in the black ermine."

:. It would be the best way to preserve our more intelligent stocks. As I said recently. until we eound our whole education on the idea of racial eugenics- that Is preserving our best fami- lies and increasing thier propor- ton in the population-education will always tend to increase the general stupidity of the race through delayed marriage and the consequent dying out of our ablest strains of blood.

Grabbing With Eels.

CRABBERS in the Chesapeake
waters find that they have the
greatest success when they use eel for
bait.
Fishing of this type comes some
what under the head of which came
first the hen or the egg?"
Using soft crabs for bait, the fisher
men set their eel pots and often have
great success in landing the eels.
Having brought in this catch, they
put the eels In brine to cut the
Shiny coating from them. After that
they are cleaned and picked for a
time in a heavy brine which will pre-
serve them for several years If neces-
sary. The eels are then cut into pieces
about three inches long and tied on
the crab line which often will have
as many as 800 bats.
Early in the morning, the fisherman
rows to his crab line, puts one end
over a reel and then rows one-handed
along the line. AS the bait is pulled
to the surface, he scoops in the crabs
before they let 60 and the job is done.

Clipper to Broadcast

WHEN the giant Pan-American Air
ways clipper plane takes off from
San Francisco for China within the
next few months. instituting regular
air mail and passenger service across
the Pacific, it will carry an engineer
and an announcer of the National
Broadcasting Co., and broadcasts will
be attempted periodically during the
flight-broadcasts that will be picked
up by San Francisco and relayed over
the network
Despite the elaborateness of the
radio equipment, it did not work well
during the first demonstration flight
of the big 20-ton craft from its base
on Middle River, near Baltimore, re-
Gently However. the kinks are being
ironed out and the Pacific broadcasts
are expected to be successful
These broadcasts are expected to
prove big sensation in American
radio annals. The clipper is sched-
uled to proceed to Miami tomorrow
for final shakedown tests before going
to San Francisco for the Pacific take
off. 1t carries radiophone as well as
radiotelegraph apparatus and engi-
neers say its radio plant is sufficient
to insure excellent voice transmission
and reception.
