little worryl
First, we might suggest that you HE
yourself to q sporting goods shop-a
real he-man's store. Here you will
find 6 wealth Of ideas for gifts that
appeal to every mans love Of games
and good times, from q simple and
inexpensive pastime trick to the most
expensive games of chance with chips
and dice, and in between the two all
sorts Of interesting equipment for
popular outdoor sports.
The newest thing for the golf en-
thusiast Is short nub iron especially
designed for use in cramped quarters.
1t has a very short handle and its
tapered face allows good right or
left hand swing. 1t looks like a club
for o midget golfer, but instead it's
for the man who knows how much
his game depends on carefully extri-
eating himself from a difficult posi-
tion. Here's q grand gift for $3.50
that you can count on as sure hit.
GOLF balls make good gifts also.
and when you have q dozen Of
them packed in an attractive end
durable trinket box, together with q
copy Of Bobby Jones newest hand
book on the game, you have q mans
gift par excellence! Or maybe he
needs q new caddy bag. Give him one

With skiing occupying such head

college men home for the holidays
will delight in ski outfits. Skis, poles
and adjustable bindings may be pur-
chased complete for sS25. There are
also junior sets at s3.75 for the young
sters to try out on nearby hills after
the first snow.
The parka Is good with the ski
outfit. These closely woven warm
wooden jackets, with attached hood
that fastens under the chin, will af-
They are IS. Ski boots and socks are
also obtainable in Washington now
and are practical for a variety Of
Winter sports. Hob-nail rubbers are
another good item for golf and icy
pavements
The foot ball fan will appreciate
foot ball game that may be played
indoors. 1t has paper charts for keep
ing a record of the progress of the
game, is grand for radio foot ball lis
teners, and calls for all the skill
of the real game without physical ef-
fort. Good for dull Winter evenings
and rainy days after school, when
youngsters don't know what to do
with themselves.

For sport they have the most lux
urious Scotch clan tartan hose in
marvellous colors and all entirely made
by hand. Imported French Isle hose
are particularly nice in tiny pin dots
of white and green on black and sim
liar combinations. These are $3.50 a
pair.
Reversible fringed scarfs that are
silk on one side and wool on the other
are most serviceable. They are pat

are excellent. Handsome in the ex-

BY ELSIE PIERCE.

n READER challenges: why
don't you write about colds?"
Perhaps the actual treatment Of colds
Is out of your province, but en-
phasixing prevention as you do. why
don't you tell would-be-lovely ladies
how to prevent colds, for the pictorial
point Of view. aside from health.
There certainly isn't anything pretty
about q red nose. swollen lips, fearful
eyes"
Not Q very pretty picture, I'll ad-
NIT. And, since I like challenges, here
goesl Most people know the rules
for dodging or preventing colds, but
the trouble Is most people pay no at
tention to them. Surely we all know
enough to cover up coughs and snee5es
and to avoid people who fail to carry
out these rules.
Another rule for avoiding colds Is
healthy living. When you feel fit a.
Q fiddle you are less likely to catch
cold. On the other hand, hunger
improper food, fatigue. insuficien,
sleep, fresh air or outdoor exercise
sedentary habits all keep the vitality
low and indirectly may be contrib
uting causes to "the cold"
During the Winter months, fruits
such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit
and apples help to counteract the
tendency to acidosis, which inactivity
coupled with heavier foods induce
Add to this list milk and plenty Of
water.
Water. as you know, helps to keep
waste materials on their way. It il
important to have enough water every
day. When you have q cold, water is
more important than ever. Drink al
you can Of 1t. And when you have
q cold, stay on the alkaline side
That's where sodium bicarbonate
comes in. And more water.
More rules. Keep comfortable by
dressing sensibly. Avoid chilling the
body, particularly when sitting or rid
ing In q train or automobile. Fashion
offers delightfully."-, soft, form-fitting
woolies. Keep your room comfortably
warm, but not overheated. Sixty
eight degrees Is the ideal room tenn
perature. When sleeping, be sure
windows are open and room well
ventilated. Covers should be soft
and warm, but not weighty. Air
should be moist, not dry.
II you have . cold, forget hand
kerchiefs. Use the paper tissues In
stead and discard them. Have any
glasses, dishes or eating utensils you
use washed in boiling water before
others use them. Isolate yourself as
much as possible from others. Get
into bed. Your water and bicarbonate
should be handy. And you owe It to
yourself to pretty up, wear . chic
little bed jacket, read something light
and jovial, have your hair neatly
arranged, apply your makeup care
fully. Stay in bed for q few days II
you can arrange 1t. Think Of 1t a.
q few days luxurious rest. Don't let q
cold or cough drag on; II the latter
hangs on consult q doctor.

Child's Progress Oft.
en- Hampered by
Constant Jabs.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

lGoING about where children are
one hears a great deal of crit
icism of them that is just flnicky.
1t annoys the children and helps them
very little, if any, to grow into strength
and beauty. A larger, wider view of
their growth would help all around.
am going to set down here some of
the things have heard conscientious
teachers and parents say about or to
school children.
Billy never combs his hair, does
he? A pity. because he could be such
. nice looking boy. Personal appear
ance counts so much. don't you
Think"
why aren't your books covered?
You're the only boy in the section with
an uncovered book. Can't you ind q
piece Of paper in your house?"
We'll, of all things! Your shoul-
der straps are showing again. Pity
you can't find time and a needle.
Awfully busy about nothing?"
do you know that you've licked
your lead pencil seven times in 10
minutes? I've counted them"
where's your blue cap? I spent
the money to get blue cap for you
to wear with the blue coat. I want
you to look like somebody, but you
don't care. I've some pride If you
haven't. Go find that cap"
imagine there Is a time for such
criticisms, but usually they are de-
livered at critical times, when the
children are hurrying to this or that
duty, under pressure of schedules and
bells and waiting instructors. The
jab about an overlooked detail irri-
tates and annoys the child, and sends
him to the next class in bad shape for
work. It would be better to overlook
such trifles for the time and say a
good word for the many things that
have been well attended to. No school
child forgets 100 per cent, 50 there Is
always something to cheer about II
one looks for it, and one cheer is
worth a hundred jabs.
I think this sort Of thing is finicky,
mincing, mean. It ought to have no
place in a teachers life, or in moth
er's The child will take these things
in his stride once he gets into that
stride. Picking on him prevents him
from striding along in big, easy sweeps
Of progress. Getting too close to him
drives him of the road. Stand back,
get view Of him in the large, and he
will do much better. Don't take his
little oversights on your conscience.
God Is not finicky. When He Gre
ated the world He did it with great
sweeps. The magnitude Of His work
is appalling, and the majesty and the
glory beyond mans comprehension.
This world, one of the smallest Of His
works, is done in great forms Of land
and water. The oceans and the
mountains cradle nations Of people,
animals beyond count, plants without
number, and the beauty Of them is
such as to awe the soul of man.
And so, when God looked down on
this earth, with its faulty people, with
its rude mountains pitted with ravines
and SCARED by the avalanches, upon
its deserts parched in the sun, upon
His helpless, blundering creatures, for
ever mistaking their way, forever be-
ginning again to press toward the
goal He had set, He smiled and called
it good"
Can we do less for these cropping,
helpless children in our care?

Peel of one orange
Wipe the fruit, remove the peel in
quarters, and cut into thin strips with
scissors. Place peels in saucepan,
cover with cold water, let boil up, and
drain. Repeat five or six times, to
eounteract the bitter taste. Heat the
sugar with the hot water, and when
dissolved add the orange peel. Cook
slowly, until sirup is nearly gone,
drain, and roll the peel in granulated
sugar. If grapefruit peel is used, the
procedure Is the same, except that the
grapefruit peel should be weighed first,
and an equal amount Of sugar used.
To make chocolate covered fruit sticks,
melt two squares Of bitter chocolate in
q double boiler, keeping over hot water.
