 Paris.-Paris is a woman's town, and the women make it a dogs Paradise.
 The elegante Parisienne usually completes her ensem- ble with a dog or two. You meet them at cocktail par ties, in the salons of the lead ing couturiers, in restaurants and in the BoiS, of course. But, while a few years ago lapdogs were the mode, today the smart woman must lead or be led by two or even three restive AberdeenS, spaniels, DaIrnatians, Russian wolf hounds, large-sized bulldogs which ever suits her par ticular type best.
 At the dog and fashion show known as "The Elegant Woman and Her Dog," so- ciety women and well-known actresses paraded for the benefit of charity, vieing for prizes for the most harms nious dog and dress ensern- ble.

 CoIorful Prints
 Blacks, gray, white and brown dominated canine as well as owner modes. A brown Afghan hound--the very latest in dog styles accompanied a white crepe dress with cinnamon brown dots and accessories to match the pet. Black Scotties, French poodles or spaniels were set of by all-white or the ubiquitous black and white combination beloved of the Parisienne. Many of the prints, in the form of con- trasting jackets or entire dresses, revealed multicol- ored designs with the leit-

 Infants have convulSions much more frequently than do adults. The nervous system of the child is 50 sensitive that frequently an acute infectious disease will begin with convulsions. If there is an aSsociat- cd rapid rise in the body tempera- ture, convulsions are more common than otherwise.
 Tn ordering convulsionS the child loses consciousness and becomes rigid. Then there may be a spas modic jerking of the face and Of the arms and legs. It is, of course, necessary to distinguish between ordinary, mild convulsions, and those which are the result of epilepsy.
 It is important also to know as soon az possible the cause of the convulsions. This can be deter mined only by a competent doctor. Even he, however, may be not be able to make diagnosis imne- diately, since 1t may require sev- eral days for the disease involved to develop.
 Nevertheless, convulsions should be checked as soon as possible be- cause of the damage they may do to the body.
 It is known that warmth is quite sedative, so a hot bath often is used to control mild convulsions Wrapping the baby in blankets and applying hot water bottles or cleo tFic pads also will lessen the con- : Vulsi0ng.

BEAUTY
-BEAUyy~' -'-' -''' GIOrUying
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

NEA Service Stan Writer
 Dry shampoos and other times saving routines are invaluable to the summer traveller or one who cannot visit Q beauty shop more than two or three times 0 month.
 Women who want to be we@ groomed day in and day out simpE have to discover ways and means to care for hair, face and nails between visits to the hair-dresser.
 Your hairbrush and a tonic to correct whatever scalp defect you have are all you need for cleaning scalp and hair quickly and thor oughly. Simply part your hair In sections, soak, a cotton pad in the tonic and apply. Rub 1t on the scalp mot the hair, and use sparingly.
 When you have finished, massage with fingertips until the tonic has been absorbed then begin to brush. Always brush upward and wipe the brush after each stroke. When each hair has been cleaned and polished, simply push your waves back In place. Correct brushing never spells Q wave.
 Even the most expert manicure won't keep fingernails attractive and lovely for a full week. Do c thor. ough job about every seven days, of course, but, between times, give your nails few whibks with an emery board and apply fresh polish wherever needed.
 You will derive more lasting bene- fit from professional facials If you use your creams and lotions intel iigently at home. A cream treat ment Is good for dry skin, of course. but you can't expect four apphca- tons month to correct the condi- ton. You must do something your self every night.
 How to make a fingerwave last a full week is a problem that con- fronts most of us in the summer time. For this reason, it's 8 splerl- did idea to invest in a comfortable hair net to wear at night and Q lightweight shower cap to wear in the tub as well as under the shower.
 On the market right now are hair nets that tie under the chin like an ayiator's helmet. These are light, come in all colors. ere easy to wash and really do stay il placc ell night. New shower caps tle tn the same manner. And, for those who care for ringIet curls at home there are new, pale green rubbei curIsr clips that are comfortable h sleep on.

IONIZING THE TEMPERA MENTAL NASAL MUCOSA

MENTAL NASAL MUCOSA Last January 6 method of treat ing hyperesthetic or vasomotoi rhinitis, hay fever, nasal allcrgy (peculiar sensitivity to one or an- other foreign substance which ex- cites watering, running at the nose sneezing, stufflness) and associated troubles was described here under the heading "Electroplating the Nasal Membrane" The method is professionally known as ionizing or iontophoresis. As described by Dr. Lewis J. Siivers of New York, on whose report of the new method based the article, the ions or electri- fled particles of metal, zinc, for in- stance, from 8 very weak solution are carried into the tissues by the gentle, carefully controlled electric current, and the irritable hypcrsen- sitivc columnar epithelium of the surface of the mucous membrane is changed to squamous or more scale- like epithelium which is not 90 darned temperamental. tFinal. two lovbrow words my own. Dr. Stlvers is 8 gentleman-he said mo longer sensitive to extraneous sub stances.").
 Well, sir, believe 1t or not, they've got wind of this new development already over in dear old London. Usually takes the rank and file even in America Ave years to catch on to new methods, another five years to accept them and then maybe five weeks to learn the techriic. In England they arc considerably slow CT. So 1t is the more astonishing that they seem to have snapped this Up almost over night. However. all I know is what I read in the papers
 London. June IA (AP)--A new
 e8-per- r-cent-successfu cure for
 hay fever was acclaimed today by
 the physiotherapy department oi
 the St. Georges hospital after five
 years of expe ..hentation The story went on to describe the process of iorizing or "electroplat- ing the nasal tissues" and all. There was one observation not taken from my article. Immunity for the hay fever season was said to be con- ferred by three treatments at the beginning of two successive sea- sons." I'm tolerably credulous, aS every one knows, yet I'd discount that rosy touch as much as I would the generous estimate of 98% sue. cess.
 A clinical report published June { by an American physician in an American medical journal places much lower estimate on the suc- cess of the method. However, this ionization or "electro-plating" of the nasal mucosa is conservative and safe. in skilled hands, and offers to many sufferers months of com parative freedom from trouble at the cost of three or four treatments which are no more distressing thar three or four ''prophylactic" sessions with your dentist.

know exactly what he had expected to find.
He did know that'he feared most desperately
he would find he had arrived too late. He had
felt certain that whatever was to happen
would not take place until well after midnight.
1t had taken the airship nineteen hours and
one-half to make the run from Alameda. But
the time in Hawaii was two hours and thirty
minutes earlier than on the Pacific Coast,
which had given him that much of margin.

a growth so thick it felt like moss, walked

He could hear nothing save the noises Of the
night insects and the sound of faint wind in

swept through the funnel of the Nuuanu Pail

Slowly he reconnoitered, and stumbled over
snarl of chicken wire. He had expected some
neat, orderly roll OF wire which would mark
some definite place. That which he found was
merely few feet of battered. dilapidated
wire which could have been moved about by
a kick. He gave it an experimental kick to
ten or twelve feet with peculiar lop sided
motion. Burke felt his way toward it, had
touched it with cropping fingers. when he heard
the sound Of an automobile grinding down the
hill in low gear. He concealed himself in some
thick brush and waited.
A car swung into view. Headlights were
extinguished, shadowy figures emerged to
walk boldly around the house. The beam of a
flashlight penciled into the darkness, and a
mans voice said, "Okay, here it is-just
as we expected"
Burke recognized the voice. 1t was that

labored breathing. He heard Clegg say in a
low tone, "She's all alone, let's CO."
