bushels of -four, 200 gallons of milk,
ton of butter. ton of yeast and 5000
eggs. The soldiers. already fed to
safety, found it impossible to consume
all of the monster confection, so pieces
of it we're distributed to inhabitants
OF dozens Of the neighboring towns
and villages. I wonder how on earth
1t was ever baked. The records don't
tell us.
In 1852. in England. another gigantic
cake made its appearance. 1t was pre-
pared for the Crystal Palace revels
and was made by firm Of confec-
tioners. This affair was nearly feet
in height and weighed about 400
pounds. Over 500 eggs were used in
its mixing and the fruits it contained
were in the proportion of pounds of
fruit to l pound Of flour. This cake
was baked in eight parts, there being
no oven large enough to hold the entire
mixture at one time. This makes me
even more interested in the baking
methods employed for Frederick's

Scrupulous
Dental Care
Important
Should Be Considered
First Essential to
Beauty.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

HOW sad it is when one is beau
tiful until she smiles. Last eve
ming going home on train. saw
two contrasting examples, one smile
that charmed its spectators and an
other that spoiled the beauty of the
face it should have enhanced.
cannot understand how a woman
can permit herself 70 neglect her
teeth or let them take second, third
or last place in her list of "musts."
1t seems a sad mistake to concentrate
on clothes, to give precedence to the
importance of matching accessories
and leave teeth care to the last. It
is strange that many women put of
for tomorrow and tomorrow the denta!
check-up they should have today.
And the tartar deposits grow heav-
ier, the teeth become dingier, decay
and bad breath may set in, the smile
becomes a sad one.
Most of us would sooner think of
going without food than omitting
our twice daily brushing Of the
teeth. At bedtime, and again in the
morning the teeth are brushed ever
so carefully, every surface, up and
down, across, special care in reaching
and cleansing the walls between teeth
and last, but not least, brushing the
chewing surfaces. But that is not
enough. Mere brushing doesn't at
tack the tartar deposits. The dem
lists scraping tools and pumice and
brush are necessary for that. Faulty
diet or gastric disturbances may
cause the tartar to form more quickly
than is ordinarily natural. The twice.
yearly visit to the dentist will help
him discover the cause in such cases
and he may recommend a change
of diet or special cleansing measures.
The use of fiat dental floss is a good
habit. 1t keeps tiny food or foreign
particles from parking between teeth.
There's a special knack to using this
without danger of bruising, the gum.
Your dentist will show you how.
Your dentist will tell you, too, that
you have to give your teeth a work.

and healthy. Raw fruits and vege-
tables afford exercise. Rich, fabby
desserts don't need chewing.

get the glad hand from a motley mob.
Being young and craving pleasure and
having feet that ache to dance makes
the decision a hard one.
Then there is the problem Of how
she shall make living, what occu-
paticn she shall take up. For parents
expect their daughters to support
themselves If they don't marry, and
marriage becomes a more and more
difficult achievement every year.
Moreover, even IL a girl does marry,
it is even betting that she will have
to help earn the food she cooks.
There also is the problem of how
to catch a husband, whether to pur-
sue the man she wants or play coy
and make him run after her; whether
to be clinging vine or just pal.
And there is the problem Of how
to find her own type and make the
most Of it, how to dress the part;
whether to be vivacious and the life
Of the party or demure; whether to
wisecrack or yes-yes. And there are
a thousand other problems that never
vexed Mamma or Grandmamma be-
cause all they had to do was just to
be girls. DOROTHY DIX.
DEAR MISS DIX-My married life
has been very unhappy. Our
marriage has been such q mistake
that should have left my wife years
ago, except that there were children
and I felt I should stand by them
They are now grown and on their
own. I have tried to be good father
and have provided we'll for them and
for my wife. Now I think that
have done my part and I want to be
quit Of marriage NY wife and I
fight continually and never speak TO
each other civilly. The children un-
derstand this and feel that divorce
is best for all and an honest way to
straighten things out, but my wife
hates divorce and says she will fight
it. Is a man a brute II he just pulls
up and leaves when his wife refuses
him a divorce? I shall always pro-
vide for her. but I am so tired Of
lying to myself and my neighbors.
S.
Answer: In as much as you have
done your duty by your children and
they would not be injured by the
breaking up of your home, I can see
no reason why you should not leave
q woman with whom you are so bit
terly unhappy. AS she seems to be
as antagonistic to you as you are to
her, and as she must be as wretched
as you are in your unfortunate mar
riage, should think she would be
glad to give you a divorce and end
the tragic farce. 1t would seem that
she would crave peace and freedom
from the strain Of keeping up a pre-
tense of marriage as much as you do.
CHE must have dog -in-the- -manger
spirit She doesn't want you her
self, but she is determined that no
one else shall have you.
There is neither sense nor morality
in a couple living together in ennaity
and who bring out all the worst char
acteristics in each other if there are
| not children to be considered.

BY ANGELO PATRI.

II HAVE to take my little son for
= a walk, and the only walk that
is possible for us is city street. He
enjoys it very much, but he is almost
uncomfortable He darts from me.
He does unexpected leaps and jumps,
slips out of my hands. though I'm
trying hard to hold on to him. am
afraid to take him out because I can
not be sure of him for a minute,
and the traffic is thick at the cross
ings. The crowd often hides him
from me as he dashes for liberty"
-. There are some children who do
not seem to feel content If their hands
are held. Even the loosest grasp
will make them fretful and drive, them
to wriggle and twist and squirm
themselves free. They are usually
as fast as lighting and almost as
elusive as quicksilver. They endanger
their salty and worry their guardians
to tears.
For such children a set Of gay
harness that crosses their shoulders
and comes under their arms, with
reins for the nurse or the mother to
hold is sometimes a solution. Many
Of these active little ones love to play
pony or horse, and enjoy being held
by the reins. These are long enough
and strong enough to allow the racer
some length of freedom while they
allow him guidance and protection
at the same time. If line of little
bells runs across the chest strap so
much the better.
Playing games IN the house with
mother as partner Is one way to
train a traffic jumper. Play police
man at the corner. Lay out the walk,
mark the corners. Have green lights
and red light, colored paper and
| imagination will furnish all the
necessary equipment. And obey the
signals. Stroll down the walk, look
| in the shop windows, do some buying,
wrapping the bundles, cross the streets
according to signals. The little one
| will want to be the mother, the
policeman. the storekeeper, all Of
the actors at once, but you can settle
that by allowing him to be each in
| turn.
Teach traffic signals along with
the other important facts like his
name, address, fathers name, tele-
phone number. and his age. Teach
him to say-"Stop at the red light." /"
GO on the green light" wait for
the signal" Ask him to recite his
safety rules every day. At first they
will be just words like "Eenie neenie
mimic no." but before long. when
experience gives them content, those
words will begin to take root In his
mind and govern his action.
When walking with a child OBJ
serve the regulations strictly. Don't
take q firm grip on the child's hand
and race across the street to beat the
light. Don't try to dodge between
cars. Wait for the light. II you
take chances you teach the child to
do the same. What you do speaks
much louder than what you say.
BY consistent teaching. little children
can be trained to observe trafiic rules
perfectly and so make themselves
safe.

GIRLS LEAGUE ADVISER.
Answer-Tnere Is NO doubt that be-
ing a girl is a much more dificult
proposition than 1t was in our mothers
and grandmothers' time. In those
halcyon days about the only really
serious questions girl had to wrestle
with were how to get husband and
whether she would have swell church
wedding or be married at home under
. floral horseshoe.
She didn't have to worry her pretty
head about whether she would be q
stenographer or a motion picture
actress, or dress model, or what not,
because matrimony was the pre-
destined career Of her sex. Nor did
she have to bother about making her
own bread and butter because fathers
and brothers supported the girls until
they could land their upkeep on some
other man. Nor did she have to decide
the question of her own personal con-
duct because modesty was the vogue
and girls were good or else taboo
Besides. men respected women in those
days and did not invite nice girls to
stroll down the primrose path with
them. = 4 y +
RUT nowadays all of that is changed
~ 1t isn't enough for the modern girl
to be sweet and pretty and trust
heaven to take care of her. She has tc
be as wise as the serpent as well as
gentle as the dove and know how to
look out for herself. Before she Is
old enough to have had any experience
Of life she has to know all the answers
and that's some job.
About the only problem that the
present day girl has in common with
her mother and grandmother Is that
of getting married. And even thai
has complications of which mother
and grandmother never dreamed. Fol
Mamie has to decide whether she pre-
fers career to husband, and oftenel
than not when she decides in favor oi
the husband she has the still further
difficulty of having to decide whether
she will keep on with her job after

portant problem that the modern gir
has to settle is whether she will retair

BOARD WILL ACT

Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 30-(UP)--
A state planning board report IN
the hands of Gov. Wilbur l.. Cross
today advocated three long-range
programs to rehabilitate communi-
ties in Eastern Connecticut which
were hard hit by decline of the tex
tile manufacturing industry.
The report advised that present
industries could be aided by more
favorable laws and taxes and by In
terstate compacts. that small, d.
versified new industries should be
encouraged to locate In the area,
and that other sources Of income
should be developed, such as part
time farming and tourist and sum-
rner business.
Statements in the report were ar
rived at following interviews with
So residents Of Eastern Connecticut
communities. which have suffered
from seasonal let-downs in the tex
tile factories.
The report blamed tax labor laws
In southern states for the decline
of the industry, as well as the reci-
procal trade treaties Of the admin
