 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Here is @ manly little chap of seven who "cries" when he tries to tell his mother why he has been quarreling with his older sister. His mother says that he is physically 50 brave he can endure any amount of pain like Q Spartan.
 Why then--she wants to know --does he cry when he thinks Of unkind words, or Q quarrel? Actually, I don't know. But l do know that there is world of difference between physical hurt and emotional hysteria.
 For example, knew Q lovely girl who stood torture as she was recovering from an injury, in @ hospital, without sigh or a tear. But when the doctor came to her bedside to ask her some simple and necessary question about her con- dition, she could not answer for hysterical weeping.
 Tears Attend Any Emotion
 A soldier know, who had gone through hell without complaint, who did not weep even when his fother dled( because, as the fam- fly said, he was born without tear glands), who never could cry well, I have seen him cry like baby when someone told a pathetic story that suddenly touched some sensi- tive chord over which he had no control.
 Tn the case of this small boy, perhaps rage causes tears. We prefer to think that tears can only be produced by pain or sor- row, but this is a mistake. Tears are related to any emotion, whether joy, surprise, anger, humiliation, or even pride.
 I believe this child has conquered two things because he has been conditioned to do so, or has taken pride in hoping that he was a man; namely, pain and sorrow. What happened, very possibly, is that he cannot control other emotion. He is too little yet to cope with other enemies of feeling.
 Sympathy Often Tear Motive
 My lovely friend who cried when the kindly doctor asked about her could not control herself when un- derstanding and sympathy touched her. still think 1t was emotional relief that swayed her. The soldier, on the other hand, could cry for others, but not for himself. Here we have the motive of sympathy"
 Many people cry the instant some- one begins to talk about them. We cannot class this with self-pity, ex- actly, but 1t is akin to self-pity. It may be only a shrinking from hay ing ones sacred reservations pried into the daylight: anyway, it is a refined form of suffering.
 Therefore, never insult the "cry-

And when Sunday comes, if you find that the nnaraud- ing finally have cleaned out the cooky jar here is something on the order of macaroons that you can toss together in g twinkling: They are light as thistledown and are born to give the ice cream dessert just the finishing touch It needs.

THE PHYSIOLOGY OF FAT


 Meat eating animals seem to fatten more readily on Q dict con taining considerable fat; herbivora on Q diet containing considerable carbohydrate (starches and sugars) On an ordinary mixed diet man seems to oxidize carbohydrates to yield muscular energy and warmth more readily than fats and If the diet well balanced and adequate in all respects the fat is more readily deposited in the tissues. But If the diet is deficient in minerals and vitamins and excessive in the pro- portion of carbohydrates -as our diet generally is--the excess of car boyhdrate material unquestionably goes to form fat.
 A common notion harbored by fat folk is that potatoe is very fatten- ing. Tn fact potatoe is only one third as fattening as bread. That is, three pounds of potatoe is equal to one pound of bread in nutritive value.
 Choosing this and that item and eschewing other items on the menu, in the belief that one can control weight that way, is Q futile scheme anyway. It is not the particular foods one eats or does not cat that determines the state of nutrition but rather the grand total of food consumed day by day as measured or estimated in calories.
 Refined carbohydrates are the cheapest, most available, most de- lectable and easiest to eat even when one is not particularly hun gry. Almost any one can take Q dish of ice cream, bit of cake, Q sweetened beverage or some candy at any time 1t is offered. Most people eat square meal which is more or less adequate, then, be- cause it is customary, top 1t oil with dessert which is chiefly carbohy- drate and represents just so much excess nutriment. Is 1t any wonder corpulency is so common after thlrty2
 If excessive flesh were merely un- becoming 1t would not concern us here. AccumpuIation of surplus girth or displacement ofter the age ot thirty definitely shortens expectation of life, and so in the interest oi longevity we must recognize 1t as an Important health problem. Not only that, but 1t handicaps every phy- siological process and imposes on the individual lower level, a slow CT pace in living. However, most women and many men who desire to reduce are prompted by vanity rather than any consideration oi longevity or health.
 Persons who do honest work ol play every day are less likely tc ac. cumuIate excessive fat than ars those who live by their wits or ai parasites on others. Probably ths best anti-fat prescription any ons can take is two miles or oxygef three times a day. on the hoof.

Although carbon paper, typoe writers, and oflce dust-tlree cone spirators against hand beauty -~ make the task difuctllt, the bgsinese girl who knows how to care for her nails can have lovely hands in spite of them.
 She must have an oil manicure once week, keep hand lotion in the ofIice as well as at home, and give flngernails and fingers . bit of daily attention.
 If you pound . typewriter all day long, you might as well realize thae your tapering, slender flngertipS are likely to become flat and pudgy. That is, unless you get into the habit of pinching the nngertips of one hand with the thumb and fore- finger of the other.
 Keep CaIIouses in Cheek
 Use the towel to push back cuticle after you have washed your hands then, while applying hand lotion, squeeze the ends of your fingers. Always force them back into shape before you 90 to bed. If, regardless ] of this, callouses appear at the sides l of the nails where contact with keys presses the skin upward, use purnice stone now and then. Always nlois- ten it, then rub the hard spots ever 50 gently.
 For a modern manicure, you need small dish of hot olive oil and several strips of cotton just as much as you need oily remover, emery boards, orange sticks, cuticle re. mover, nail whitener, polish and warm, soapy water.
 First of all, remove old polish, file each nail to the desired shape and length (for the oface, extremely long, pointed nails are impractical because they break easily), soak one hand in warm soap-suds for about three minutes. When you take 1t out, dry carefully, rub cuticle re- mover around each nail, push GU. ticle back and remove dead skin which grows just underneath the cuticle. If you have ragged edges, clip them with sharp manicure scissors. Repeat on the other hand.
 Now, dip the strips of cotton in the warm olive oil and wrap one strip around each finger and nail: Smooth a thin coat on the back Of the hands, too. Leave the oil on for about ten minutes. Wash hands carefully, use whitener under the nails, then you are ready for polisn' Changing Polish Is Easy
 Most business women like to wear light colored polishes in the day. time and on ordinary occasions, and extremely vivid shades for special evenings. It really isn't much of 8 fob to change nail polish. Simply remove the old, scrub nails careful iy, use an emery board if neces- sary. and smooth on fresh polish. The trick of getting 1t on evenly lies in using just the right amount. The trick of having 1t stay on without peeling or cracking is to choose Q reliable brand, then to have the nails scrupulously clean and per- fectiy dry before you start to brush 1t on.

paris. (UP)-Dress houses here are presenting their first cruise ana beach clothes. The dresses or skirts vary considerably in style but they invariably are worn with Snorts, which are either short and tight or are made to look like knee length skirts. The latter are either fiared or pleated and are seen most freuuently in uncrushable linen.
 The color schemes are gayer and brighter than usual, in contrast to the sobriety of spring clothes, which were somewhat affected by the pee riod of mourning in English court circles. A pair of brown linen beach shorts are worn with a bright orange woolen jersey and a full, Knee- length coat of brown linen.
 Beach dresses in uncrushable linen look tailored enough to be worn on the street with Q shallow crowned, large-brimmed linen hat to match.
 But on the beach 8 cape, jacket or skirt can be unbuttoned to re- veal brief shorts and 6 brassiere top. The halter necks still are the most popular as the entire back can be left bare and open to the sun.
 Beach trousers have replaced pa- jamas and are tailored in linen or flannel with an accompanying tai- lored jacket and 8 backless blouse of bright print for beach wear. For cruising, the blouse is replaced with a sleeYeless silk jersey sweater with a turtle neck.

Your Baby's Health
Baby's Progress In First Four Months Requires Mothers Strict Attention
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Gdltor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of
 HyRel, the Health Magazine

Hygei, the Health Magazine The first three or four months ln-oduce the most remarkable prog
 Fees in a child's existence. In this narly stage, almost every day marks Ieome distinct growth or develop
 ment in the baby. ;.
 It is important, therefore, that
 mothers keep particularly strict watch on their newly born infants. | The sense of cold and warmth AS not well developed in little ba- ibies. For this reason, mothers should protect them against cold and warmth with the right kind lpf clothing.
 A baby month old will look first at its mother. It will hold or grasp any object that Is put in- to it's hands. Its eyes will follow moving light. Occasionally, It will lift it's head.
 Mothers sometimes think they see Q tiny baby smile. Cynics say ! flat this Is simply "gas on the stomach" Investigators find that
 one baby out of 375 can smile i when month old. When It IS z montfs, old, the baby will smile 1T ! it has anything to smile at. By the age of 2 months, most ba- l bies make cooing noises or gurgles. They can cry real tears. They VIII also yawn, stretch, and kick.
 The eyes of the tiny baby must
 be protected from strong light. At l fhe age of 2 months, the baby VIII turn it's eyes toward bright light and learn to blink when the light 1s too strong. Babies of this age also will turn their heads in re- eponse to spoken voices, and some times be frightened by voice that fs too loud or too shrill.
 At 3 months Of age, some ba-
 bieg laugh aloud. They also VIII learn to roll over, 30 that 1t Is not safe to leave a baby unprotected in an open bed. At this age. the baby should always be guarded against falls.
 Al 3-month-old baby will grunt or gurgle, and grasp objects in It's Vi- cinity.
 As the infant grows, 1t begins to ohscrve nearby objects. For this reason, a 4-month-0ld baby Will study it's hands and fingers. and

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 How to Eat

 How to Eat Please recommend the best book for q Iayman to follow in the mat ter of diet for good health and for controlling the weight. I'd like something practical and in language that I can understand. .(Mrs. l.. M. S.)
 Answer-One of the best I have seen is "Optimum Health" by Adel- 10 Davis, nutritionist( California Graphs Press, Los Angeles) The author does an excellent job of ir1- terpreting scientific knowledge for the lay mind.
 Cold Tub Bath
 Instructions as to the best method of taking . cold tub bath. Have found them invigorating but except in the summer months easily catch colds from them .(E. A. S.)
 Answer-Well, you shouldn't let others use the bath before you do If a cool or cold bath, plunge. show CT, sponge or spray, leaves you feel ing invigorcsed, flush and warm, 1t is helpful. If 1t leaves you feeling chilly, depressed, tired, 1t is harm ful. No cold baths for mine. A cold air bath, now that is enjoyable But I don't like cold water on my nice warm skin. Tn any case cold bath should be only 8 momentary one-just enough to give the desired reaction.
 | Lad Likes Tennis
 Husband, 47, very fond of tennis, had played strenuousIy the past three years. Enjoys excellent health but I think he should be examined by Che family physician and advised whether tennis Is good for him (Mrs. A. H. O.
 Answer-Certainly. every man oT woman over thirty should have an examination by the family physl- clan every year, and get the doctors advice about health matters. But I'd keep on playing tennis as lonl as I enjoyed it, if I were in you husbands place.
