vacation. He and Don Bonaparte
got together and decided just how
"Christopher Columbus" should be
played, via the horn footing
method. Porter used to play a
sax when he was down at Univer-
sity of Illinois. Or did he play a
trumpet? Anyhow, he played
somethin'. Anyhow, he's a nice
boy. And, grandma, what a
swanky Alpha frat pin he wears!
Item: Evelyn Sue Scott, the

night not so long ago. Or maybe
they just happened to come in to-
gether and decided to share meal.
I forgot to ask 'em.
Who was it that made bet with
Tom Stovall about me writing a
summary of Negro history from
way back when? Try it yourself,
you dope. I'll summarize it for
you in three words: "Bad. Good.
Better"
Remember that song, Ozark On

servatory Hill of the song is the
hill at University of Wisconsin,
and it's a campus rendezvous. The
Wisconsin campus is one of the
most beautiful in the Big Ten con-
ference. It is the perfect back
ground for moonlight strolls down
shaded walks. Minnesota's fiat,
crowded campus looks like an I'M

out. But even Minnesota has one
on the University of Iowa, where
the damb campus buildings are
scattered all over the town and you
have to walk your heels off get

Tommy Donaldson will be out dig

golf courses. Those two fellas
would rather play golf than eat.
I'll bet Noble loses that million
dollar grin when he hits sand

will now be golf widows.
Miss Della thurman sends in this
bit of philosophy:
I have learned that success is to be
measured,
Not so much by the position that
one has reached
In life, as by the obstacles which
he has overcome
While trying to succeed.
Avoid being what your enemies
say you are;
Be what your friends think you
are;
Go right forward and be happy.
They tell me that up to the
Elks' Rest that night when all the
shooting was going on, new rec

the disappearing act. One promi-

knocked the teeth out of a gal
when he pushed her out of the way
so that he could get to the door

shooting, the place was packed,
but by the time he had fired the
last shot it was as deserted as a

 Be Yourself Again
 Certainly you don't want to go You find so much to do when you get home. The family growls and dinner is late. Well, tell them that even cook gets a day off. Tel husband that he gets Sunday. Tell the youngsters to hush up. Tel them all that you are going to take part of a day each week to catch up with yourself, or you will strike for thirty-horr week, and how dc they like that?
 You won't be able to do it all the time. There is catsup time, and sewing time and the times when there are colds and whatnot to nurse. But the week can be ar- ranged so that, barring emergen- cies, the few hours can be produced

I thing that every mother should get away from her family at least once 8 week.
 If she has a baby or very young child, she cannot unless she has a regular aide-de-camp who can do as well as she can. But mothers develop a certain idea that the family would starve or suffer in other ways if she severed connec- tions for day.
 r If she has relief with friends in the evening or can otherwise find change of scene, she won't suffer from the monotony of family or house work. But if she has no way of outlet, she needs to- betake her. self off somewhere where she can be herself. A woman is human being as we'll as a mother.
 I know very well that I am shocking some of the tried-and- trues. I hear a million worthy na- irons decrying my advice.
 "Why, I couldn't rest for one minute if I thought little Walters waffles were not right, or that his sweater was not up at the neck on a cold day." Well, if she is going to worry herself to death about the family, she is better at home. She gets her satisfaction from knowing that she can't stand worry, and that the easiest thing is to stay and face 1t. That's all right with me, and perfectly laudable, too.
 Mothers Are People
 But-there are thousands of mothers who begin to think of themselves occasionally as people. People removed from the perpetual role of home goddess. "Oh, dear," sighs Mrs. Smith, T have not seen an art gallery outside of a depart ment store for seven years. I for get what an Inness or Van Dyke looks like"
 And then I recommend the n- brary. There is nothing exciting about a library, but just go and sit in the reading room and get a hob- by book on your favorite subject, and lose yourself in the peace and quiet of hours ALL your own. Or just take a bus ride. Or go to see g movie all alone without having to hold small Billy on your knee and explain why the bad man didn't mean to hurt the nice lady.

PREvIEW OF HYPOTHETIC PETE

An expectant grandmother in- quires anxiously whether an X-ray picture made shortly before the birth of the baby will cause death of the baby shortly after birth Which reminds us of the nullipar- ous husband who, after long, long night of pacing the floor and watch ing the door to the delivery room received at last the great news that the baby had arrived all right Quick" he cried, tell me, is it boy or girl?" The nurse informed him 1t was 8 girl. Thank heaven then" breathed the new father she'll never have to go through what I've suffered tonight!" But shucks, becoming a father is mere child's play compared with com ing grandfather. And from what hear 1t is rather an ordeal becon- ing grandmother on the distafi side.
 The Young Snip approached the great mystery and miracle of life with assurance and composure. From her calm attitude she might have borne a dozen children before. When the computed time for de- livery came and nothing doing her doctor remarked that she herself was a small person and the baby seemed large and so 1t might be necessary to resort to Caesarean section.
 That was all jake with the Young Snip. Didn't upset her at all. She conflded the secret to her dad but exacted a promise that he would not tell mother, because mother might get worried.
 With her doctors consent Dad took her to a friend of his who is an X-ray technician. A picture was made, and it showed that the child was in the right position and that the size of the head was in correct proportion with the capacity of the pelvis. A week later the Young Snip sat back from a bridge game, suggested that her husband take her to the hospital, and had her baby after only six hours of labor. The baby was of average weight and size. The Young Snip had simply mixed her dates, as do a good many expectant mothers. The probable date of confinement is a variable one just averages 28O days and may actually occur a week before or after the computed time. It is rarely possible to fix with any degree of certainty the date when conception occurred.
 An x-ray film in the ordinary course gives a fairly definite impress sion of the relative dimensions of head and pelvis. But a new develop ment in the technical field enables the expert to make precise measure ments by the use of special x-ray technic, giving more accurate knowl- edge of the relative size of head and pelvls than any measurements hitherto employed have given. be- lieve the use of this ingenious x-ray technic win diminish the number oi Caesarean operations, and that is a consummation to be wished.
 No danger whatever. to mother or child. in making such an x-ray examination, picture or measure

xHB TABLE~'--''''-'''-'
 Food Suggestions By Mrs. Mary E. Dague

With the apple season full upor us and the markets offering So many delicious varieties of apples at this time, try this unusual way of making apples and cake dough blend into a sublime whole.
 As a rule, the flavor of apples is so delicate that it is lost when combined with cake dough-except. ing always the great American apple pie.
 Apple delights, too, are an excep- tion, as you will agree, once you have tried the recipe.
 Visualize halves of apples, neat- ly fitted on top of crunchy cake dough, baked in muffin tins 50. that they hold their shape, juicy and topped with whipped cream!
 Apple Delights for Six
 Two cups flour, Ia teaspoons baking powder, 1-2 teaspoon salt 1-4 cup shortening, cup milk, l egg, 6 ripe, firm apples.
 If the apples used are winesaps Casually the most juicy), bake them, halved, on a greased pan in the oven until they begin to soften. Most other varieties of apples will not need this pre-baking.
 Now for directions: Mix and Sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in the shortening with knife.
 Add the milk and the beaten egg and mix well.
 Drop tablespoons of this batter into large, well-greased muffin tins. Fill them about one-half full.
 This amount of batter Is enough for 12 apple delights, or two per person, serving six.
 Now peel the apples, cut them in half crosswise, and take out the cores.
 Put each half (using six apples) o i1top of the batter, cut side down, and fill the holes with sugar. Bake in 8 hot oven 25 minutes until the apples are tender. At the end of that time the batter will be baked, too.
 Serve warm with Q spoonful of whipped cream on top of each delight.
 The cake dough has 8 delicious consistency, neither biscuit nor pastry, and yet crunchy and deli- cate.
 You can make half the amount by using three apples and half the batter recipe. If you use the largest-size muffin tin, you may find one delight per person enough.
 This dessert will come out of the tins easily and be neat, round mounds, topped by nicely Drowned fruit. |.

PARIS STYLES CHATS

Paris (UP)--Marlene Dietrich. now working on the first shots of new film which she is making in England with Robert Donat, has ordered three evening costumes from the new winter collection of Captain Molyneux.
 One gown in gold lame is made with simple bodice, high in front and cut low in back, and long, tight-fitting straight coat. It is worn with a hip-length jacket, tightly fitted above the waist where it is trimmed with an enor- nous shawl collar of marten fur. A full, daring basque finished the jacket. This basque, about a foot wide, is stiffened to stand out sharply from the slim-fitted hips. The olng sleeves of the jacket are tight but for @ slight flilness be- tween the elbow and the shoulder. The screen star selected Q very feminine evening gown in light blue chiffon made with a fitted bodice and an enormously full skirt over tightly fitted underskirt of the same shade of blue crepe. The bodice is finished with @ flat ber- tha of blue chiffon that is trimmed with dahlias in front.
 Jade green. Marlene's favorlte shade, was chosen for an evening coat. The green matches the famous set of eineralds worn by the blonde

live in the country and do not have much oil, probably two or three Washings a month will suffice.
 If you groom your own hair, be sure to apply warm olive oil the night before you intend to sham poo and, next day, wash with lquod soap. There are excellent commercially prepared varieties on the market or, by dissolving plain castillo soap in lukewarm water, you can make your own.
 In any event never rub Q cake of soap directly on your hair. Wash once, rinse, wash again, then rinse three or four times, using a spray if possible. Put the juice of one fresh lemon in 8 bowl of water, dip your hair in it and rinse once more. It is @ good idea to sit in the sunshine and to hand dry your hair with a rough towel. However. if you want waves and ringlets to set, dry only a little, then sit in the sun.
 Naturally, if you brush each night, using clean brush, you won't have to shampoo as often. Brushing re- moves surface dust and oil from the individual hairs and, in addition, stimulates circulation and makes the pores of the scalp function normally.

The Family Doctor
Asphyxia Claims Many Fire, Gas,
 Drowning Victims, Newborn Babies

trio shock, poison gases, mechani- cal strangulation, or burning. Or it may appear almost immediately following birth in an infant who has been delivered with dificulty.
 Asphyxia results from lack of oxygen, which a human body must have if 1t is to live. When we breathe, we take in oxygen. When we cannot breathe because of any of the conditions that have been men, tioned, we suffer promptly from oxygen want. The blood circulates constantly, picking up oxygen in the lungs and carrying 1t to other parts of the body.
 The stimulus to breathing comes from the carbon dioxide that is de- veloped in the body as result of the action of the tissues on oxygen. Ordinary breathing, therefore, re- quires several definite steps.
 First, air must find its way un- obstructed from the mouth and nose to the lungs. The chest must have muscles of sufficient strength and activity to move the wall of the chest and change its size.
 The lungs must be sufflciently healthy to provide cells in which the blood may have access to the air. The center for breathing in the brain must be in a healthy con- dition, to control the rate and depth of breathing. Enough carbon diox- ide must be developed to stimulate the breathing center to act.
 The heart must be strong enough to push the blood through the lungs and to the ends of the body. The blood itself must have sufficient amount of red cells and red coloring matter in the cells to transport the oxygen.
 In about 50 per cent of all deaths that occur from suffocation or asphyxiation, the victims are babies at birth. From one to four of every 100 babies that are born die in this way. These babies can be saved by adequate equipment in hospitals and knowledge of what to do when the time comes.
 A great number of deaths from asphyxiation result from carbon monoxide poisoning in the home from Illuminating gas, and in closed garages from motor car exhausts. Many deaths from asuhyxiation are associated with drowning. It has been estimated that 25 per cent of males past l2 years of age do not know how to swim. There are few women who can swim long or far enough to save themselves in an emergency.
 When @ person has been under water long enough to become un- conscious -four or five minutes 1 first aid measures arc of the great. est importance in savng his life.

and practically all the fore most couturiers have demon strated their ingenuity in this medium.
 Wraps Made of Tweed
 Some use color contrasts that are positively startling. Many employ fabrics which ordinarily never are heard of in formal categories. For example, broadcloth and sheer wools go into some of the most beau tiful evening and dinner gowns Tweeds are used for long, flowing wraps.
 Lelong does 8 handsome evening dress of black silk jersey with lace like panel of self fabric over rasp- berry pink down the left side. He puts modernized hustle effects on several models. with long, flowing skirts. On more conservative themes, fullness draped toward the back is emphasized. Sometimes this is done by means of scarf arrangements, tied or looped behind to give the impression of volume.
 Sensational in the Lanvin col- lection are wide, ankle-length black tunics of lace or tulle over gleaming satin trousers. She also shows full- skirted, taffeta gown, with floral design on black ground. This has bouffant, panier-like draperies at the hips.
 Waistline Emphasized
 While many of the new evening gowns are beltless (fine pintucks and horizontal shirring define the waistline of these), the belts one does see are more interesting than ever before. Mainbocher and Lan- win use high, corset-like belts of glittering embroideries. Vionnet stresses patent leather, or white and gold kid, cut out in delicate leaf effects. Bruyere puts pleated net over 6 gold lame sheath with jet chevron stripes and belts it with gold kidskin.
 Evening bodices have plenty of fullness to the front, but the backs are quite nude. Halter necklines resting on the collarbone instead of hugging the throat, are seen in every collection. Triangular cut- outs at the back are shown by Alix and Vionnet.
