Hints Make
Life Hard
For Woman
Husbands Suspicious,
SoWife Threatens
to Leave
By VIRGINIA LEE

WHO is more hateful and does
more mischief than a liar and tale
bearer? The person who never
tells tales right out or says a
single thing against another per-
son, but who hints. "Better watch
your wife" he says, grinning.
"Why?" you ask. "Tll never tell"
or "Oh, nothing" says he, laugh
ing gaily, "only watch"
Isn't that beastly? Nothing def
mite. you see, only hint that Friend
Wife isn't all she should be. Often
the hnter thinks he's being funny,
but | can tell him his sense of humor
is warped, and tragedy is likely to
follow his mean insinuatons.
A Real Man would give such a
suggester a good healthy punch and
tell him he'd better mind what he
says But humans are poor. weak
creatures, and some Of them think
the hinter really knows something
against the person he hints about,
and even in the mind Of the one who
'smacks Him down, little seed may
be planted that may, given a good
healthy chance, blossom into strong
and troublesome weed.
Such is the case with a woman
who writes me and asks my advice.
She and her husband and children
would be happy. she says, except
that one of those insinuating beasts
told the husband he had better look
out for his wife. And the poor sap
of a husband, although he knows this
man is a trouble maker. can't trust
his wife and she, poor girl, although
she knows herself to be innocent Of
any wrong, is on the verge of leav-
ing him because his jealous suspi-
cions MAKE life miserable for her.
He has his moments of reason
when he promises he will not dis
trust her, and then he helps her with
the housework and they are happy
with the babies. But then. suppose
he thinks over what the man might
mean. and as time goes on, he gets
MRS A. V. F.: You certainly
picked a weak brother for husband
my dear. If he had any manhood
about him he would tell that man If
he ever said anything like that about
his wife again he would punch his
head, and mean 1t. How man who
loves his wife can let another even
hint that she isn't all she should be
is a mystery to lie. especially as he
knows from past experience that this
man Is a mischief maker.
Your life. from what you tell me,
is an open book. and I think if this
thing goes on ! would advise you to
tell your father about the whole
thing and let him settle with your
husband and the other fellow. too.
He, at least. would stand up for his
girl. Don't break up your home If
you can help it. But try to have ii
very definitely understood that you
will not stand much more nonsense
of that kind.

IF YOU FIND 1t necessary to lift
your bulbs this year, 1t is best to do
it just before the drying leaves have
become separated from the bulb. In
this way you will not overlook any.
and the varieties will not get mixed.
After lifting bulbs for division, re-
plant them again as soon as possible,
but if you need to store them through
the summer and until fall planting
time. take care to store them In a
cool, dry. dark place. where there IS
good ventilation. 1t is always advis-
able when replanting bulbs to select
new location in order to give them
a change of soil.
Bulbs should be stored in slat-bot-
tom trays, as shown in Fig. 1 of the
above Garden-Graph. or In perforated
paper bags as shown in Fig. 2. Either
method insures circulation of air for

Home Wash
Institute Does Some
Study on Problem
of Germs
By LOGAN cLENDENING, M. D.

By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d.
A NEW IDEA was presented at
one of the exhibits of the American
Medical association this year by the
American Institute Of Laundering OF
Joliet. Ill. The institute is owned by
the National Laundrymen's associa-
ton, and is devoted to solving tech
nical problems. The particular inves-
tgation which the institute under
took was a comparison between the
number of germs in clothes after be-
ing la,undered in a commercial laun-
dry and a home laundry.
There is a widespread belief that
clothes which go to a commercial
laundry come back with the germs
mixed. and the clothes come home
with other peoples germs clinging
to them. The investigation certainly
proved that that statement is un-
true
Comparing clothes washed in nine
typical homes with clothes washed
in commercial laundry. the bacte-
| rial. count was found to be II per &C.
| in the commercial laundry. and 31S.-
| 600 per &C. in the home laundrles.
The laundrles which were studied
were in typical homes of every class.

come.
More Bacteria in Warm Weather
'"This study shows the tremendous
aP hal u, al
worn during the warm months of the
year. when perspiration induced by
exercise and a high temperature is
common. Garments touch the wet
| skin. are contaminated with skin bac-
| terra, and the warmth affords excel
lent seeding conditions"
The reason that the commercial
laundry is able TO bring the bacterial
count down better than the home is
probably due to three conditions: one.
that the temperature of the water in
the home is never as high for as
| long time as in the laundry; Sec
ond, because the laundry uses near
~ three times as much water as the
laverage of the homes. and that 1t
rinses oftener in clean water and
with fresh suds.
The exhibit was of course, a strong
argument In favor of commercial
laundries. but there is no reason why
the home laundry should not learn
a lesson from the undoubtedly ac-
curate results which the institute re-
ports. Boiling the clothes longer.
separating different kinds of clothes.
using more water and more rinses.
could bring the efficiency of the home
laundry close to that of the CONNER
cial laundry
The institute contemplates some
further researches, especially fool
proof special handling of washing
from homes with qqIarantinable dis
eases. washing which most states do
not now permit laundries to handle
in any practical manner. This will
afford great help to those who have
the care of patients with contagious
diseases, as there is no time when
frequent changing of bed linen is
more necessary.

Head Department Parent Education
CleUeldud College, Western
ReSerUe UnirerSitV

Reserve University
A PRACTICAL eXpedient for those
for whom a properly conducted nur-
sery school is not available, is for
two or three parents of young chill
dren to take turns at supervising the
play of these youngsters for a few
hours daily in their homes. Some
advantage by way of playthings for
one home only to be used; but better
for each child. perhaps. to play at
times away from his own home.
Ats any rate, the plan affords the
young mothers some relief from their
children and their children some re-
lief from the mothers. Best of all,
the children can have playmates their
own age. TO prevent spread of dis
ease. the mother in charge each
morning would do well to take the
temperature of each child every
morning. or have a nurse do so.
Better perhaps if each mother so
checked the temperature of her child
at home. Nor should any child leave
home showing evidence of a cold.
The important thing for the moth
er in charge is to let the children
alone as much as possible, so long
as they are not injuring property or
one another. encouraging them to CO.
operate. leading them to learn to
take turns in use of certain play
things, and reading aloud to them
from well-selected pictures story
books for several short intervals
each day. Something gained by the
child listening to a story which one
or more other children about his age

"Americds Most Famous Beauty"
THAT TIMES change is u we'll

famous jeweler. 1t seems, fingers

dren's sizes to get a fit. Now the
women for whom these rings were
designed have to go into mems sizes
to circle their knuckles. And the
average wedding ring you buy today
is about two sizes larger than your
nanny wore.
However, while fingers may be
changing, there is one respect in
which they have not changed in the
least. And that is that, despite their
size. they still are considered ugly if
graced by unattractive, close-bitten
nails. There are plenty of nail

VACATION time has come
again with its problems as we'll
as its joys. One of the problems
is to get the children suitably
dressed for camp, the visit to
relatives, the seaside or lake cot
tage, or just to play around in
the home yard, getting as much
fresh air and sunshine as is pos
sible to make young bodies
healthy for the coming autumn
and winter.
Practical clothes are the one
need of children in summer. Of
course they want some dress-up
ones, too, but things that are
comfortable and that wash well,
with a minimum of ironing, are
the best. Cottons are wise
choices for play suits, shorts and
culottes, those divided skirt cos
tunes for hiking and bicycling.
Knitted cotton shirts go with
tweeds, fiannels or linen skirts,
and with jodhpurs if your chill
dren ride. Cotton mesh needs
no ironing, neither does seer
sucker, and seersucker is smart
in play suits for girls of all ages.
Cotton gabardine is also prac-
tical and attractive.
Cotton Shantung for Camp
For the camp we show a two
piece cotton shantung play suit
with button-on shorts, which
comes in rust. yellow or light blue.
Camps make little girls independ-
ent They learn to do things for
themselves, such as putting up
pup-tents, as this small person is
doing, and maybe a bit of cooking.
The suit is for girls from six to II
years of age.
For the little lass who goes
horseback riding in camp or at
home, the jodhpurs and skirt will
be found practical The jodhpurs
are cotton gabardine, the chukker
shirt yellow cotton mesh-the
type that we mentioned a while
e. h.
This shirt may also be worn with
gabardine shorts, and it comes in
royal blue as well as yellow.

Not What They Are, but
How They Started
Copyright. Central Press Assn.
By WORTH CHENEY

WHAT INTRIGUES us most
about great men is not so much what
they have done and the power they
possess, but how they were started
on the careers in which they have
won renown.
Often many of our famous men
seem to have been predestined. or
natural born. as they say. That
is. at an early age they Indicated a
preference for the type of work
which they chose later as a career
This certainly was the case of a
young newspaper man we know. This
journalist is by no means famous
now. but he already Is prominent and
shows potentialities of being among
the great in the not too far distant
future. We won't reveal his name,
but you may take our word for 1t
that this early life story is authentic.
OUR NEWSPAPER friend was in
"a particularly cynical mood. COM
planning about his lousy profession"
as they all do at one time or an
other. even though they love every
aggravatng thing they cry about
when he began to rue the day he first
saw a newspaper.
why. oh why. did l ever get into
this business, anyway" he sighed
We'll" we asked. lust why did
you?"
And SO he told us.
His career was not an inherited
one: no member of his family. as far
AS he could learn. had ever been
connected in any way with a news
paper He is. as he says, "the first
of a line" of journalists.
But despite the fact his family
lacked close contact with the news
paper field. he lost no time in show
ing his preference and aptitude for
newspapers
AT THE age of five, mind you. he
"entered" the business. And the cir
cumstances in this entrance, we
think. are very amusing.
At that tender age. he had paper
route. But his route consisted OF
only one subscriber.
Learning that a family wanted to
take the paper every day. the little
fellow took it upon himself to be
their paper boy. Every day he would
inyeigle his mother into giving him
a penny. He would take the penny
tramp more than a mile downtown
to buy paper at the wholesale
price, one cent. and then walk an
other mile to deliver 1t. Then, every
Saturday. he would go around to
collect 10 cents for the weeks deliv-
cries He was ten cents ahead. OF
course, but his mother was out six.
Later on he began to sell papers in
earnest. Then he got a big paper
route. and later jobs on the press. in
the typesetting room, in the adver-
tising department. and finally In the
editorial division as a reporter. The
big city beckoned and now fame is
within his grasp.
But we didn't intend this as a sue
cess story. We repeat 1t only be-
cause we think it interesting how
this man got his start. DO you think
IL any wonder he became a news
paper man?

old newspaper man wrote of
