of the part that was affected rather than as Q disorder of the brain and cord.
 Public Attitude
 Twenty-Five years ago rickets malnutrition, tubercular glands, and rheumatism were almost as common as penury and hard luck today. In those days bad teeth, focal infection pin worms, eye complaints chronic ear discharge, and Q host of other minor complaints were the accept ed accompaniments of privation. and neglect and, by the way, the cause of much unsightliness in some of our grown ups today.
 Looking back % years one Is irn- pressed by the change of attitude on the part of the general public towards. the medical man. In those days there was certain restraint and often down right suspicion to- wards the medical man. This was especially marked among the for- eign parents and particularly in connection with the newer form of therapy.
 One of the outstanding achieve ments of modern medicine, think is the leadership 1t has attained in awakening the public mind to the admantages of preventive medicine and in obtaining the intelligent CO., operation of the public, in general, in the widespread application of preventive measures.
 Looking back on the quarter cen- tury just passed we sec a prospect of medical romance and accom- pllshments as fascinating as any similar period in the history of hu- man endeavor and If the next twenty-five years only half fulfills the pregnant promise of this glor- ious past, we may look forward to visit as fair and alluring in health and happiness as only the millennium itself could equal.
 Old Time MaIady
 The diarrhoel diseases or old time summer complaint has been almost eradicated. The younger men, in medicine, seldom see frank case of this old time malady. Thanks to sanitary care in hand ling milk. the educational influence of the visiting nurse, the vigilance of the Board of Health and, most effective of all, the simple pre- caution of boiling all cows milk that is given the baby. this devas- tating enemy of our infants has been vanquished.
 Scarlet fever, thanks to our val- iant research workers, is on the run. Tn case of actual attack. we have serum that robs the disease of it's old time terrors such as the appalling complications mentioned above. In the way of prevention we have a serum that prevents the disease and though It's protection may not be as lasting as that given by diphtheria toxoid. 1t is none the less a very Godsend in the face of an epidemic.
 Measles
 Measles too is amenable to curb and check and there is every prom isc that serum thus far developed will soon have the scope of those mentioned above.

SORORITY PARTY
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:


"Our sorority is planning a for,
NAL ball the latter part Of this
month. The members Of the so
rOrity will share all expenses, and
we are to invite our own escorts.
Just how should this be done?
Would we approach the boy in
the same manner if we see him
in person as we would by letter
or telephone?
1--WE feel that we-the sorority
can not afford flowers for our
girls, so would it be proper to
mention this fact to our escorts
or would it be too much like
asking for a cOrSage? Or in just
what way could we approach him
on this subject?
another one of our members is
in doubt about how appropriate
it would be to ask q friend whom
she has only met three times.
SORORITY SISTERS"
The very best way for the
members Of your sorority to give
this kind of invitation is by send
ing notes Of invitation to the
men whom they are inviting.
It would be very poor taste,
very poor taste, for you to make
any mention of flowers. If you
can't afford corsages, that's that
it isn't necessary to wear cor
sages. And the choice of send
ing corsages should be left with

Study their pictures q moment.
and try to imagine Venus getting
off q new limerick, or dancing

On French heels she'd tip right
over, poor thing, but she'd be even
more unsteady In the balancing
trick Of saying the right and
bright thing to everybody, fitting
from politics to books to skilful
flattery, helping the hostess with
a shy guest or a new game.
It's not because she's an old
fashioned girl, either. She just
hasn't the personality. Emma
Murray belongs to the past, too,
but we feel sure she knew what
it was all about" We know she
had wit. Her charming poiSe when

and cross a room gracefully. Well

Health
Medicine and
PrO6reSS

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d.
In looking over the year books
which record the work which has
been reported in the departments
Of medicine in 1895, we find that
no very startling changes have
been made in the last year.
The outposts Of advance in
medicine in the last IS years
have been Cd the control of the
infectious diseases, 90 the vita
minis, 90 ductless glands "a al.
leroy, go diabetes, go pernicious
anemia, Cd X-ray and radium.
What has the last year brought?
% Infectious diseases: Com
mon cold. The virus has been
iSloated. (Dochez to the New
York Academy of Medicine). But
contrary to newspaper reports no
vaccine has been made, but the
isolation Of the virus has opened
I'D the field for the future.
Diphtheria. More campaigns
for immuniZation. Still response.
BILE for thousands Of deaths.
Available effective methods Of
control are deplorably neglected.
EncephalitiS. We are in pos
session Of the full reports Of the
st. Louis epidemic. It was COM
paratively q mild form Of the
disease, resembling an epidemic
in Japan, and is generally known
among psychologists as the est.
Louis type Of encephalitis."
Infantile Paralysis. A great
deal Of work is being done on i'm.
munization and treatment, but
no positive conclusions point to
any single method, either Of treat
ment or prevention, which is def
initely established.
Influenza. The filterable virus
grown in tissue cultures. Proven
tive vaccination q possibility. De-
feating q repetition Of such an
epidemic as 1918-1920.
2. VitaminS: Isolation Of Vita
min B in pure form. Prevention
Of alcoholic neuritis by Vitamin
B. Influence of VitaminS g and
D on nail growth.
8. Ductless glands. Antuitrin
"S' in acne.
4. Allergy: Alergic headache.
Thinking there was a brain tumor
headache patients skull was
opened by surgeon. The open
ing can be observed to swell
whenever the patient eats food to
which he is sensitive.
Skin tests less necessary. A
good history of the case most
valuable.
and 6. No new developments.
Z. X-ray and radium. Thoro-
trast to outline nervous system.
liver and spleen.
The obituary columns Of the
newspapers have contained notice
after notice of prominent and
and useful men, in the prime Of
life, who have Succumbed sud-
denly to heart disease. Many Of
these have been prominent mem.
bers of the medical profession.
There is no subject in which ply.
Sicians are more interested today.
Definite progress has been made
in the diagnosis, especially by the
instrumental means, the electro
cardiograph, of the exact location
of the changes in the heart which
cause this distressing mortality.
In the field of digestive dis
orders, the use of the photo.
graphic gastroscope to record
photographs of the inside of the
stomach has been the most spec
tacular development. The digeSti.
bility of various foodstuffs, by US
ing the X-ray, has also been Of
great interest.
The Washington times., 1936-01-02

There's o good deal OF TAX
about the fashion pageant that IS
part Of picture coming here
soon. It IS said to rival Roberta,
which picture had real effect on
American fashions. haven't had
the pleasure Of seeing it yet, but
here are q few advance notes,
Rarnered here and there.
Double Inspiration
The combined inspirations OF
Lily PonS, French woman, and
Bernard Newman. American de.
signer, on the costumes for u
Dream Too Much" in which the
famous Metropolitan Opera star
makes her motion picture debut,
resulted in q brilliant collection
Of costumes, striking in their
originality and simplicity.
Miss Pons, being true Partisan,
has an instructive style sense
coupled with years Of experience
In working with the most famous
fashion designers Of Europe and
America on her own personal
wardrobe. Newman, before join.
ing RKO Radio Pictures, was chief
stylist for one Of New York
SmarteSt couturierS.
Newman's Opinion
The noted designer contends
that the worlds best dressed
women earn that distinction not
only because Of the fashion ere
atorS they are able to employ, or
the advice they may be able to
pay for, but because Of an in
herent and unerring knowledge
of what they can wear advan'
tageouSly.
Lily Pons is particularly style
conscious and creating clothes to
suit her vivid personality was a
comparatively easy job for New
man. Her constructive criticism
and the grace with which she
wore the clothes added q subtle
distinction to an already out
standing array Of costumes FOL
every hour Of the day.
Touch Of Metal
Most interesting Of the en-
sembles is the evening gown Of
tea rose lame, woven with silver
threads to create a rippled effect
A braided band of the fabric Is
used to cord the high. fitted
bodice to the gown, the cording
ending in a pleated. flared bow
The skirt is daringly slashed at
the hemline in the center front
the flared train also pleated fol-
fullness. With the gown, Miss
Pons wears a circular cloak OF
the dress fabric, the opening
banded from shoulder to hem
with magnificent silver fox. The
baguette diamond and emerald
clips fastening the furs to the
cape match the necklace and
bracelet.

When Manners Are Correct

;the young men. Naturally, If
they are gallant young gentlemen,
they will plan to send flowers,
as a courtly bow of appreciation
for the kind invitation. And if
they are not thoughtful about
such amenities-well, that Tact
will have to be accepted, graci-
ously. But there should be no
limiting" about the sending Of
corsages.
Whether or not a girl should
invite a man whom she has met
only three times depends on the
three times-they may have been
just casual meetings or they may
have so definitely established a
| pleasant friendship that such an
invitation would be thoroughly
appropriate. The girl herself
would have to decide about this.
But it is for reasons just like
this that I suggest in my first
The Washington times., 1936-01-02

Ianswer that the note Of invita-
ton is the appropriate form Of
invitation.

Baked Potatoes

!. To have your baked potatoes dry
and fluffy, take from the oven
when easily pierced with a fork
and cut across top. This allows
the escape Of steam which other
wise would condense and leave
the potato soggy.
