Americas Most Famous Beauty
ACCORDING to mythologists,
that famous Roman goddess,
Diana, was renowned not only for
her beauty of face and form, but
also for her exquisite grace of
movement. Diana, you know, was
goddess of the hunt. Every day
she would speed through the forest
in pursuit of wild game. And
personally believe that this daily
exercise was in good part respon-
sible for the flexibility and 1.-THE
grace of her body.
When any woman permits her
muscles and joints to become stiff
and rigid, her movements generally
are awkward and gauche. Her
body must be supple and timber.
if she wishes her every movement
to possess beauty and grace. Elk
ercise is the best way to achieve
such fieXibility. Indulge in some
healthful sport each day, and also
practice limbering exercises. Such
exercises keep the body firm, 1.-THE
and in good condition. And they
make the muscles of the entire
body 1.-THE and supple, thus induc-
ing grace and harmony of move
ment.
Exercises That Aid
Because limberiRg exercises are
so helpful in developing physical
grace, / sail describe number of
them that the average woman may
practice at home. The following
are particularly designed for the
fiexibility of the upper part of the
body:
Stand erect, arms hanging loose
/ ly at the sides. Then shake the
loosely hanging arms in a slightly
circular, brisk motion, and at the
same time move the arms slowly

Advice to Mother
Whose Daughter
Is Selfish a.

By VIRGINIA LEE

DEAR VIRGINIA LEE: A
friend of mine has a very attrac-
tive young daughter who is going
out with a boy of different re-
ligion. He keeps her out quite late
and she Is very vague as to where
they go. My friend Is worried sick,
as the girl is very cold to her
mother, although her mother has
given her everything she has ever
wanted and does all her laundry
and sewing.
''The daughter never even asks
her to go to show or for a walk,
and her mother is very lonely and
downhearted. What do you think
the mother could do, as the girl
will surely regret it If she marries
this boy, as he Is not her equal in
any way? ELSIE"
Selfishness and thoughtlessness
always seem to be the fruits Of
such a bringing up. Elsie. Mother
makes all the sacrifices and daugh-
ter takes it all as a matter of
course and it never dawns on her
that she should give thanks. If
anyone should speak to the girl
and remind her Of her mothers
many services, the answer would
probably be: "That's her job" or
"Well, she has good time doing
1t, doesn't she ?"
You can't make a person prop
erly appreciative of what you do
If you do all the doing and giving.
This mother should have made the
girl do her share, as a matter of
course, when she was small. You
do for me and do for you, would
have been a much wiser course.
Fair play, you see.
No use to scold and worry now.
The best way to make the girl
realize what she is doing to her
mother Is for mother to adopt the
same tactics as daughter. Let her
leave the laundry and sewing.
You're old enough to do your own
now," she could say. Let her go
away some evening when daughter
Is home, giving no explanation, and
stay long enough for the girl to
get lonely and worried. THAT Is
the way you treat me-" she could
say.
If the mother has strong char
acter and Is not a scolder or nag
ger, but Is quiet and firm, she may
get somewhere by this sort of
treatment. I hope she has and can
carry it through. It's her only
chance.
| 80
WAITING: That's life, my dear.
You get to like boy when you're
young, and he seems to like you,
and then he tires and leaves you
for another girl. It's sad, but has
to be borne. Keep your chin UP
until you feel better, Is my advice.

Will
Bring Out
Ragweeds
Drouth Is Unlikely
to Curtail Hay
Fever Cases
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. d.

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. ID.
1 HEAR THAT owing to the
drouth the ragweed crop this year
is rather stunted, but it only takes
one or two good rains to bring it
out, and 1 imagine there will be
enough pollen in the. air by the
time this is printed to make the
hay fever victim realize that his
annual battle is on.
There are many peculiarities
about pollen, some of which can't
be entirely explained. The rag
weed is at once Grade A pest and
successful plant, because it pro-
duces so many million pollen
grains and because they are so
small and light.
All the plants which cause hay
fever fertilize by wind pollination.
Other plants are either self-fertil-
lied or cross fertilized by insect
carriers. The pollen grains grow
on the stamen of the flower, are
the male element, and when
dropped on the pistil penetrate and
fertilize the plant ovary, which
then develops into the seed. We
may blame malaria on the female
mosquito, and it is the female
black widow spider that does the
dirty work, but hay fever is caused
by the males.
Plants Attract Insects
Plants which fertilize by insect
pollination have flowers, honey and
Smell to attract insects, and the
pollen is fit to be taken for a ride;
it is heavy and sticky. These
plants produce very little pollen.
The self-fertilizing violet has only
few hundred pollen grains.
But when plant has to depend
on its pollen reaching other flow
ers' pistils by flying through the
air, there must be plenty of pollen.
A pollen grain the size of a small
grain of dust must hit a mark no
bigger than the head of a pin an
eighth of mile away. The wind
pollinated plants do not have con-
spicuous fioWers-there is no need
to attract insects, but the stig-
matte surface of the pistil is large
and feathered with antennae so as
to be capable of picking up pollen
grains.
The amount of pollen In the air
may be determined by smearing
vaseline on a glass slide and leav-
ing it exposed to the air for "a
hours. The pollen density varies
with different years and day by
day in the season. Most hay fever
sufferers do not begin to have
symptoms until the air contains
about thirty pollen grains to the
cubic yard. Ragweed pollen is
carried to great heights and great
distances by winds. Colonel Lind
bergh has exposed slides at heights
in Labrador and Greenland. Mr..
Oren c. Durham (see his book,
Your Hay Fever'D, has collected
pollen grains in the air over Lake
Michigan, 80 miles from the shore.
Weather changes influence pollen
density. Warm, dry weather
spreads pollen that has already
been matured. But the drouth, if
long enough continued, stops the
growth.

Poems That Live
THE ROSE

IHE hOSE
A rose, as fair as ever saw the
North,
Grew in a little garden all alone;
A sweeter flower did Nature ne'er
put forth,
Nor fairer garden yet was never
known:
The maidens danced about it morn
and noon,
And learned oards of it their dit
ties made;
The nimble fairies by the pale
faced moon
Watered the root and kissed her
pretty shade.
But well-a-dayi-the gard n r
careless grew;
The maids and fairies both were
kept away,
And in a drought the caterpillars
threw
upon the bud and every
spray.
God shield the stock! IF heaven
send no supplies,
The fairest blossom Of the gar
den dies.

WHO KNOWS when we parents
begin making ourselves ready to
cultivate cooperation in our chill
dren? Indirectly our ancestors were
at the job centuries ago. We have
prepared ourselves in so far as we
have mastered our own emotions.
We can't compel cooperation,
we must win it. We gain cooper
alton from the child (of any age)
in proportion as we induce him to
feel favorable toward us and what
we want him to do.
Having managed ourselves SO as
not to be managed by the infant,
having established the meaning of
NO rarely used, we prevent a vast
deal of veXation to the young child
and have cleared the deck for en-
joying his conlpanionship.
By smiles, quiet voice and gentle
words Of approval we lead the in
fant in his early months to con-
meet pleasant associations with
us. We likewise do SO as we no.
tice, admire and approve his
small achievements at self-help. at
manipulating objects. at crude
creations and inventions. We an
swer his questions. We never
weary of hearing what and how
and why.
When his fairies appear we well
come them. We learn their Ian
.guage; so we walk with them and
talk with them. Hand in hand we
go with the child of three or four
into his enchanted land of make

Enrich Child's Fancy
We enrich the child's world of
fancy by reading fairy tales to him.
We read and read and read. We
delight to hear the yarns he weaves
out of his imagination, and he

older he tells It's more and more of
his real experiences-his joys and
sorrows. hopes and fears. He
knows that we take him at his
word. that we consider what he
says and does worthy of our inter-
est and our rapt attention. He
feels that he amounts to some
thing, and that we will always
treat him as a sacred personality.
Therefore he attunes himself to
our wishes and finds satisfaction
in doing nearly all We ask him to
do. What we asked him was. of
course, guided greatly by our in
sight and acquaintance with him
as a companionable personality.
We build for cooperation in the
child through genuine love which
in turn is builded on sympathy, in
sight and regard for the sacredness
of his personality.

into three categories: those where
the entire meal is cooked at the
picnic site, those where the meal
Is prepared at home all ready to
eat later, and the half-and-half va
riety where the meal consists Of
some dishes already prepared and
others which are to be cooked over
a campfire.
Much Of the success Of picnic
depends on the completeness Of the
picnic hamper. The box or basket
used for the purpose should con-
tain knives, forks, spoons, a can
opener, paper napkins, waxed pa
per, paper cups, matches and a big
thermos jug or two.
The variety of beverages which
can be taken on picnic are count
less, and Anne names milk, fruit
juices, tomato juice and coffee as
just few. Jars can be put into
service to hold either an already
prepared fruit or vegetable salad
or the ingredients for the making
of one. Instead Of salads, Anne
also suggests firm, whole tomatoes,
and pickles, olives, colorful strips
of carrot, celery and radishes.
Varieties of Sandwiches
AS to the old standby-the sand
wich-Anne suggests the following
varieties: chopped cooked meat
with salad dressing and mustard,
peanut butter and crushed pine
apple, peanut butter and dates, tu-
ma seasoned with mustard, Worces-
tershire sauce, mayonnaise and rel
ish; cream cheese with anchovy
paste, cream cheese and orange
marmalade, deviled ham and graf
ed cheese, avocado and thin slices
Of sweet onion, finely-chopped or
ground cooked liver with minced
onion well mixed with mayonnaise.
If there's a campfire handy, one
Of Anne's favorite picnic dishes
consists of placing, alternately on
a long skewer, lamb, half a medi-
um sized onion and half a medium
sized potato, and roasting 1t over
the fire. And IL you've never
cooked wieners or frankfurters
over the fire In q wire popcorn
pepper, Anne suggests you try 1t,
as It's the easiest and best way to
get them roasted to a turn. Try
cooking them wrapped In bacon,
too. the little star says, for a new
and delicious flavor.
The meal can be topped of with
candy, cookies or cake, although
all sorts of fruits and preserves, or
even puddings can be served in lit
tie paper dishes or cups, and can
be easily taken to the picnic in
glass containers.
Vary Plank Flooring
Often variety and charm are
given to a house by using plank
flooring or block flooring in living
room, entrance hall, and dining
rooms, and regular strip flooring
In the other rooms.
The finish given to floor is
quite as important as the pattern.
There are finishes now, fine wax
seals, which penetrate into the
wood and wear with it. This finish
has a soft luster which Is very at
tractive.
After a floor has been laid don't
forget that coating or two of wax
will give 1t splendid protective
film. 1t will also add to its beauty
and make the floor infinitely easier
to maintain.
