ernment regulations. And what is a gyropilot? Somebody stopped the pilot back there and asked him."
 Don't look at the pilotl" Doris said. Hell think you're flirting with him. These old women pas sengers spoil them. Every one of them thinks he's the Winged Mer- cury! But we had them like that in the insane asylum, too. There was one who thought he was John Barrymore"
 Kay was not listening to Doris, though she wondered idly how long it would be before Doris for got her bitter experiences in the psychopathic hospital. She turned her attention to the passengers. There was mother with two lt- tie boys-one of them asleep with his head in her lap. The other was chewing gum and making loud noises. There were several business men, 8 Japanese n1er- chant, an army officer, a priest, and four school girls. Most of them were reading magazines, glancing out at intervals toward the great blackness which en- gulfed them. Back in the rear of the plane two men played check CTS.
 After & few minutes the pilot came back Up the aisle. He nodded comradely to Kay, But Doris re- garded him with arch suspicion.
 He stopped to point out the window, and say, "We're over the Alleghenies now - the graveyard of aviators."
 But an hour later the passen- gers were still doing the same commonplace things to pass the time. The trip was uneventful.
 Nothing ever happens" the air hostess said, except once in a while a passenger is sick. It's an exciting life, though, You're never sure just what might be ahead"
 At midnight the plane glided to earth at the Newark Airport and the passengers disembarked.
 Kay looked at her wrist-watch and judged that Ted Graham would be flying over the High Sierras now. Her thoughts span ned the continent and perhaps they reached Ted, for at that minute he sat back in his chair and thought about the three girls who had ap- piled for jobs as stewardesses that morning. He carried Q picture, neat ly and precisely closeted in his mind, of Kay Dunn's face.

 It was 8 thrilling sight. She had become used to the sound of the motors, and felt no sensation except that of joyous adventure.
 She had to pinch herself once, like e child, to see If 1t were all true. Here she was on her way to New York;
 Only the night before she had been one of those inflnitesimal creatures down there, going home to sleep in a tiny bed. Tonight she was flying through the air!
 The co-pilot came along the corridor of the liner, and Kay spoke to him. The co-pilot was q blond young man who had the most flashing pair of blue eyes she had ever seen. He glanced down at her, saw her uniform, and promptly sat down in the chair beside her.
 Iie said. T beg your pardon. I didn't understand"
 'srhe westbound plane that left Central Airport ct 2:i0," Kay re- peated. ''Where would 1t be now?"
 The blond young man glanced ct his wrist-watch. Cheyenne"
 Kay repeated the Indian name. @0heyennel"
 The boy laughed, and leaned close Co her. "Boy friend on that planef Women are all alike. They won't let 6 guy alone even when he's in the airl"
 Kay's teeth flashed. "Conce.tl"
 s'T don't think I've seen you on this run before," he added, non- chaIantly. "Just Q trial flight? I'm chuck Jones, co-piiot."
 "1t's my first flight" she told him. "You don't think I'll be sick cF anything?"
 chuck laughed. "oh, we'll have smooth flying tonight - might get some bumps over the Alleg- henies, but don't think so."
 He looked around and saw the other two girls = Alice and Doris ---in uniform. "What's this7" he ex- claimed. "A girls boarding-schooll"
 Kay laughed. "Three of us taken on today. hope we all make the grade"
 Chuck's eyes twinkied. "so do I. By tho way, whats your name9"

The girls were laughing when
I walked in last night; they
had just been listening to a

The radio was blaring and

Raglan shoulders are very

everywhere. They're seen on col

Daily Care of

they become coarse and rough

The hands are so faithful In

Hands must be cared for every
day, especially when one is en-

Contagions of
Childhood
BY LOGAN CLENDENnIG, M. I

0y AVAkAGN NAAGA4N~ASANA&NSp As4H ~
The common cold is not the only
disease which has its peak Of Incl
dence in the late winter and early
spring months.
Several other contagious diseases
occur more frequently at this time
than any other period during the
year. Most Of them are children's
diseases, and 1t Is wise, to be on
the lookout for them, because half
Of the victory In dealing with con-
tagiouS diseases is in rest and pro-
lection during the early stages.
Some Of these diseases have pro
dromes and some Of them do not.
It Is important to spot the case In
the prodromal stage, because
proper treatment here makes the
disease easier on the patient and
protects the rest Of the community.
"Prodromes" is the word for that
state of achiness and tiredneSs and
irritability at the very beginning
Of an infection.
Measles
Measles Is the outstanding dis
ease which has prodromes that
should be spotted. The principal
prodromes Of measles are snuff
ness. running nose and eyes.
Nearly 20 per cent Of cases Of
measles occur about this time Of
year. It Is usually q week between
the time Of exposure and the on
set Of symptoms in measles. This
Is the period Of incubation. It Is
usually another week. or some
times more, before the eruption
appears. In that second week
after infection, when the prod
romal symptoms are present, the
child Is most contagious to others,
and for that reason, II no other,
proper precautions should be
taken.
The first symptom Is usually 6
feeling Of achineSs and malaise
with q little fever. The second
symptom. which comes on abour
12 hours after the fever and
should make everyone deeply
suspicious is the eye symptoms.
There is q puffiness Of the lower
eyelidS and . definite line Of con-
geStion across each lower eyelid.
The inner corner Of the eye be
comes swollen and red. Third,
about IL hours later, comes the
distinct Inflammation Of the eyes
and the catarrhal symptoms Of
cough and discharge from the
nose, and sore throat. Twelve
hours later the spots Ia the mouth
called "koplick SpotS' are liable to
occur. and not more than 50
hours after this does the rash us-
ually appear.
When the rash appears the
child looks worse, but feels better.
This Is the reason for the old
grandmother's attempt to bring
the poison to the surface" The
methods which she used, however,
such as hot baths, are not to be
recommended.
Give Relief
In the face Of any Of these pro-
dromal symptoms, measles should
be anticipated until proved other
wise. If it is not measles, or other
definite contagious disease, i'm.
provement should occur within "a
to 48 hours, and that length Of
time out Of school will not hurt.
In the treatment Of measles we
have no specific remedy. The good
old-faShioned system Of support by
rest in bed, q light diet and luke
warm sponge baths, win bring out
the patients powers Of resistance.
Soothing remedies to the eyes
and nose, such as boric acid Solu-
ton to the eyes, and an alkaline
gargle, viii give relief.

More Work

For some time civilized people have aimed at doing less work. Laterly that ideal is changing. And not entirely be- cause of the depression, either, with its proof of the preciousness of jobs Tt is false assuption that all man wants is leisure, let-down, rest, sleep, freedom from work" says Dr. Jay B. Nash, professor of education in New York University. "What man really wants is creative challenge, with sufficient skill to bring him within reach of success, lso that he may have the expanding joy of achievement.
 'Few people overwork. Plenty over eat, ;over-worry, over-drink, and plenty reach out for amusement and entertain ment by listening and watching others. Few realize the joy and happiness of con- quest. The basis of mental health and physical health for the average adult is more work, provided the work is not mere drudgery" creative effort. It may be either in the form of useful work for living or career, or hobby that gives ere ative exercise to mind and body
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-10-29
Price Control

''One of the most encouraging features of the present recovery movement" says pr. Harold G. Moulton, president of the Brockings Institute, "has been it's failure thus far to generate period of rapidly advancing prices. The purchasing power of the industrial working population has been expanding at least in proportion to the recovery of production"
 He thinks the nation can lay the foun- dations for a more enduring prosperity than we have ever had, if, as the present recovery movement broadens, we do two things:
 "First, hold in check the natural ten dency to advance prices at such time; and second, make further price reduc- tions just as, fast as increasing technolog- ical improvements now under way make such reductions possible"
 In other words, he thinks the consum- ing public should have the immediate benefit of improved manufacturing pro- cesses; and if the public gets them, con sumption will increase so greatly that the owners of the machines and the new processes will make plenty of profit them selves.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-10-29
Back to Work

The unemployment report of special committee of the United States Chamber of Commerce is cheering in a time ot many cheerful business announcements. It estimates that 7,O0O,00O workers who had no jobs at the bottom of the depres- sion have now been re-employed.
 Allowing 13,Ooo,oO0 as the unemploy- anent peak early in 1883, which is an av- craze guess, you get 6,OoO,OoO as the pres ent remainder out of work. This is less than the usual estimate and would prob ably be only two or three times the num- Der idle in normal periods. It has to be remembered that there are 2,4O0,O0O now one WPA work relief rolls, and about 100000 more employed by other fed eral agencies, not to mention the CCC with it's more than 300,000. Even so, the progress is encouraging.

Grim Sport

The deer-hunting season in the far west seems to have got off to an excellent start this year. Thirty-six deer hunters have been killed, so far. Eighteen were shot by other hunters who managed to mistake two-legged animal carrying a gun and wearing red cap for buck deer 10 shot themselves by accident; four got drowned in the heat of the chase, and four just naturally got so excited over,it all that they fell dead.
 This casualty list gives the sport of deer4hunting grim and hazardous as- pect which makes supposedly danger ouS game such as football look like quiet afternoon at home with solitaire deck This is big country, but it is beginning to look as if it had become too small for promiscuous use of high powered rifles. There are still some great open spaces, but in many sections the hunter finds it almost impossible to get out of range of his. fellow-hunters' guns.
