Beauty and
Vivacity at
Middle-Age
Secret of Maintaining
Youthfulness
at Forty.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

IRENE RICH has become an ideal
Of the modern mature women Of
America. Certainly she has given US
a newer, saner standard. standard
worth working for. I saw her in Hol.
lywood few years ago and more
recently saw a picture of her with her
two lovely daughters. It would be
exaggeration to say that they look
like triplets. They don't. But it
isn't exaggerating one bit to say that
the mother becomes more charming
year by year.
She puts tolerance and good na.
turedness on top of the list Of requi-
sites OF a truly lovely woman. In
fact, she says after that not much
matters. And these qualities are GER
tainly written in her face. There's
an alive quality in her face, too. Her
eyes always sparkle with interest and
her face always wears subtle smile.
She has managed to keep figure"
that the majority'of young ones might
well envy. Just enough rounded curve.
No suggestion Of scrawniness, how
ever.
But more than her figure, 1t seems
to me, her skin and contour are
establishing new standards Of beauty
for the woman who frankly, and
proudly, admits TO 40.
Few middle-aged women can stand
the profile test, for it shows up any
contour imperfections quite sadly.
The picture referred to above shows
Irene Rich and her two daughters in
profile And In that respect they are
literally sisters under the skin" Her
facial outline has preserved all its
clear-cut, youthful outline. No sign
Of sagging or wrinkles or hollows.
Keeping the skin soft, silky, fine.
textured with that alive youthful quail
ity that poets refer to as bloom" is not
really difficult task. it is rather q
daily task. And that goes double for
keeping the contour firm, the chin
single.
One has to begin building for beauty
from within. Eat well, sleep well,
drink enough water, take some out
door exercises. keep the body func-
tioning properly. Sound health is the
best beauty insurance. From that,
one should begin when one is about
20 or 25, no more. to give the skin a
daily creaming to keep it soft and lu-
bricated lest wrinkles form prema-
turely. Add to that toning treat
inert with skin tonic or astringent, an
occasional tie-up and a few chin and
neck exercises. That is all. Now isn't
it simple?

Dorothy Dix Says
Here Are Ten Reasons Why Husbands
and Wives Fail to Get Along.

most expensive propositions man can
60 into and that setting up a family
costs as much as setting up yacht.
Men are sold on the idea that two
can live as cheaply as one and that
somehow wife waves a magic wand
and materializes a comfortable home
and good food out Of the air. Hence
when they find that matrimony is
mostly bills they say things that make
their wives wish they had stayed
single. The first of the month is the
day hostilities begin in most families.
Seventh Because wives feel 1t their
sacred duty to make over their hus-
bands as soon as they get them and
change all of their tastes and ways.
Mighty few married men are ever per-
mitted to keep. their old friends, or
indulge in any Of the amusements to
which they were accustomed, or eat
the kind of cooking they like after they
are married. There are plenty OF
women who spoil perfectly good mar
riages and drive their husbands away
to other women by never letting them
smoke in peace or sit around in the
evening in old slippers.
EIGHTH. Because wives must make
- the mistake of thinking that mar
riage is job that they can't lose and
so they don't have to give satisfaction
and make good on it. They won't get
up and punch the time clock and get
their husbands good breakfast in
the morning. They are sloppy in
appearance and slovenly in their work.
and when their husbands try to jack
them up and make them earn the
money they are getting they hand
them line of back talk that would get
them fired by any employer in the
world. If women would only yes-yes
their husbands as they used to do their
bosses in business there would be
mighty few divorces.
Ninth. Because women are const1-
tutionally unable to look fact In the
face and accept it for what 1t Is.
They always think they can change
1t into what they want 1t to be. A
wife doesn't say to herself, John Is
dumb lover, but a good provider." !"
She nags the poor unromantic soul to
death because he isn't Clark Gable.
She doesn't get her fill Of cards and
parties and receptions in the afternoon
if she is married to man who doesn't
like to step out. She raises ructions
with him every night because he won't
put on his dress clothes and take her
to a night club. Hence these tears.
Tenth. Because men are so stupid
that they don't know that they can
kiss a wife's eyes and lips until she
will be as blind as a bat and dumb as
an oyster. Or perhaps they do know
and Just enjoy their daily spats with
their Narias. DOROTHY DIX.

THERE are 10 principal reasons
why husbands and wives
quarrel, even when they love
L each other. Look over the list
and see if they f1t you. They are:
First. Because husbands are men
and wives are women. They belong
to different sexes and hence have diff
ferent habits, different tastes, different
points Of view on every subject. 1t is
the peculiar little ways, because they
are not their ways, Of the men and
women to whom they are married that
get on husbands and wives nerves
and precipitate fights.
Second. Because they are poor
pickers. They have selected those with
whom they have nothing in common
for their mates instead Of choosing
their doubles. The rubber stamp is
the symbol Of felicity in marriage.
Practically all family rows start over
the husband wanting to do one thing
and the wife something else, but the
dove of peace broods over those house.
holds where q married couple are twin
souls with but a single thought. Par
ticularly If it is the wife who has that
thought.
Third. Because husbands still belong
to the Adamite school of marriage,
while wives have gone modern. The
average man still believes that a wife
should be treated as his grandfather
treated his grandmother, and that she
should be a subservient creature who
should ask her lord and masters per-
mission to go downtown or visit her
mother. He believes that the husband
should carry the purse and dole out
nickels to his wife, and that she should
find all the amusement and diversion
she Graves in scrubbing and cooking
and waiting for hubby to come home
at night. And when husband tries to
apply these theories to q wife who has
been q business woman and had her
own latchkey and pay envelope, the
fur flies.

nor wife takes the trouble to handle
the other with gloves. Every hus-
band and wife knows exactly how to
manage the other without friction,
but apparently they prefer a run-in
to gumshoeing each others little pet
prejudices and idiosyncracies. They
disdain the use of all tact in dealing
with each other and provoke argu-
ments that are as good for a scrim-
mage as a nickel is for a ginger
cake.
Fifth. Because both want to boss.
The struggle for the domestic throne
is a 40-year civil war in most families
that ends only when one of the con-
testants is laid In the grave.
Sixth. Because no husband Is ever

metal are very smart and very eye
compelling. Other chamois bags are
quite plain, with merely a roll of the
material outlining the edges. The
classic plain pull-on glove in matching
chamois is the complementary acces-
sorry to these bags. Or maybe you
would prefer a short chamois glove
with lines of perforations extending
from the finger tips to where the rib
bing ends. These are just little diff
ferent. Then tuck yellow linen

GLOVES are having very colorful
career this Spring, even more SO
than they did during the Winter and
Spring. Color has been responsible in
many ways for the renaissance OF the
glove as an item of fashion interest
instead of just covering for the hand.
Brilliant flower colors, delicate off,
shades or pastels have made the glove
the first consideration in assembling
accessories. With the arrival of warm
days string gloves again become a
Summer choice. We have found two
new designs, both at a dollar; one
with a short cuff buttoning on the
top of the hand and worked In a
diagonal pattern through the center of
the glove; the other with little frilled
gauntlet and fancy ribbing on plain
mesh. White suede-like fabric with
edges whipped in colors is a new note
also.

rVX1HY haven't you done your work?
w Sitting here with a blank
paper"
'T can't"
"There is no such word as can't
Not in this class. Everybody else has
been able to do something but you.
If they can, you can"
The boy with the wrinkled brow
made no answer, and Miss Elizabeth
went on down the aisle to pass judg-
ment, give criticism, help along the
drawing the class was making of q
roller skate, heel turned toward the
class Not an easy thing to draw
with its wheels and straps and its
perspective. The boy wiped sweating
hands on his trousers and took up his
pencil. He held 1t in his hand, but
made no attempt to put a mark on
the paper.
Haven't you begun yet? All right.
All can do for you is mark you Zero
Your drawing marks are so bad that
you cannot hope to pass. This Is near
the term end. Why don't you try?
I can't help anybody who won't even
try"
The boys brow took on deeper wrin-
kles, his sweating hands sought his
trouser legs once more, but he said
nothing. What could he say? He had
no idea of how to draw that thing the
others were drawing. Never had. Two
subjects were blank to him-reading
music from the blackboard and draw
ing from objects. He could do moth
ing with either.
That afternoon Miss Elizabeth took
the boys papers to the principals Of
fee and told the sad story. Il can't
understand it," she said. "He does
good work in other lessons. He is a
good child every way. Yet, he won't
even try"
HIN. Seems funny, doesn't it? He's
never been anything but helpful and
willing and good since he came to
school. I'll talk to him and see If
can find out what is wrong. Some
thing is certainly very wrong"
Il don't know why I can't, but I
can't" said the boy in answer to the
principals question. I'D like to draw,
and read the music, but I can't. I
don't know why"
The principal thought a minute,
studying the troubled face before him.
Then he took a big soft pencil and
drew clear line, parallel to the top
and bottom of the paper. Draw
line about an inch under that one,
son" The boy drew a line, but in
stead of being parallel it rose toward
the upper right corner of the paper.
Good" said the principal. Nov

he drew a vertical line. The boys
line slanted of, far from the pattern.
Good" said the principal. You'll
be able to draw. Did anybody ever
send you to have your eyes tested?"

the greater magazines devoteS several
pages to just this important subject,
and fiays fancy diet fads in an ex-
ceedingly thorough manner. Their
idea, and that of the Home Economics
Bureau, is that you can't reduce your
food to one or two things, and eat
nothing else day in and day out, with
out paying a severe penalty. You
may lose weight-of course, but you
lose weight under starvation, and
that isn't advisable for any one. Ex-
ercise, and less quantity of varied diet
seems to be about the best solution.
RUT in the case OF the children,
~ the Department of Agriculture in
sists that a widely varied diet and
plenty of it is absolutely essential.
The bureau continues in detail:
1.-The child probably does not. at
first, ask for much variety. But he
may be taught, and easily taught,
because the very young child has no
food prejudices. Food likes are largely
a matter Of habit, built up through
repeated happy experiences in tasting.
Introduced to new foods one at a
time, and in small portions. the child
soon accepts them and wants them
if they are offered in attractive form.
He will be eager for his greens, his
tomato or orange juice, his eggs. meat
and potatoes, as well as his milk and
cereals, and his buttered toast.
This applies, of course, to children
old enough to take solid food-after
their first 18 months or so. The one
qualification is the matter OF pre-
pairing the food to suit the little child S
requirements-in small pieces, or of
consistency which can be managed
with his child-size tools, and in por-
tions tempting to the child's appetite.
Milk is the best starting point in
planning the childs diet because 1t
is so valuable for growth. Every child
should have at least pint of milk a
day, and preferably quart, II it does
not replace other valuable foods. OF
course, some of the milk quota may
be used in preparing his food-in
making cocoa with milk. or in cooking
cereal with milk, or making milk toast.
Eggs and meat are good building
foods. From about the end of the
weaving period throughout the pre-
school years the child needs a whole
egg or some meat as often as once a
day to furnish protein in addition to
the protein he gets from milk. Liver

The Old Gardener Saws:

Garden makers who live In
sections with little rainfall nat
urally keep an eye out for drought
resistant plants. Such q plant Is
found in the creeping suntiower,
which Is catalogued as q San
vitalia. It is an annual and low
growing. Although there are both
double and single forms, the lat
ter is to be preferred. 1t looks
like very small Rudbeckia when
In bloom and is better in the rock
garden than in the border because
it has a marked spreading habit.
1t Is also a good rock garden
plant for the reason that it keeps
on blooming all Summer. OF
course, its use is not confined to
sections where droughts prevail.
It will thrive anywhere II given q
dry, sunny spot In soil that Is not
rich. There Is no need to give 1t
fertilizers.

My Neighbor Says:

Training tomatoes to a single
stem is the best method for the
amateur gardener to adopt. Pinch
off all but two or three branches
and tie plant to stake with raffla,
soft string or strips of old cloth.
To tell when a cake Is done:
1t shrinks from the pan, it
springs back when pressed lightly
with the finger. it leaves a clean,
sticky tester to straw.
To clean a white raincoat, cut
up 2 ounces of good yellow soap
and boil it in a little water until
dissolved, then let it cool little
and stir in half an ounce of
powdered magnesia. Wash the
raincoat with this, using a nail
brush for the soiled parts; rinse
off the dirty soap and dry with
a clean cloth.

SUGGEST POLICE
 RADIO NETWORK
Plan to Link 45O Depart-
 ments Now Studied By Sponsors

With a radio police system ale ready tentatively planned for Wa terbury and apparently only ques- tion of official sanction, interest was expressed in police circles here to- day in the suggestion of the Asso- ciated Police Communications Of ficers for widespread network link ing 400 police radio stations. Ad- vantages of the plan as a national offensive in the war against crime are obvious.
 Organization of the network will be undertaken at convention in Davenport, Iowa, October 5, 6 and 2, bringing together police radio operators, engineers and executives. Six midWeStern stations are already operating experimentally on fre- quencies allocated a few weeks ago by the Federal Communications Commission. Other police stations are expected to join when facilities are established.
 Large, state operated police trans nitters of high powered, termed zone stations" will form the basic network. They are to broadcast in telegraphic code, possibly in a na- tional secret police code. Informa- tion will be relayed from one large station to another and from these will reach interested police depart mentS. St. Louis, Indianapolis, De- troit, Kansas City, Minneapolis and Davenport are now 8 part of the first network.

Sixteenth District Republicans Badly Split as Result

control the convention made the nomination of Hill an unanimous one.
 Following the convention, how ever, it was charged that friends of Senator Lawlor within the re- publican party ranks had engineer ed ths nomination of Hill and had blocked the endorsement of Ras- mussen, who has the support of the N. U. s. J. It was openly admitted that rejection for Senator Lawlor is now assured.
 MT. Hill, 8 resident Of Edson avenue, was formerly connected with the local office of the motor vehicle department. He is a regis tered republican. His name was of- fered by John Baurer.
 Town Chairman J. Warren UpSon avoided the meeting, realizing that there was bad split in the district. Alderman George Kingston called the convention to order at g. o. p. headquarters on West Main street. Miss Irene Dillane was elected tenn porary secretary. Ray Palmer was chosen permanent chairman and Domenic Santora was elected per- manent secretary.
 Democratic leaders were confi- dent today that the 18th district will remain in the Jeffersonian column on election day. It was agreed that the republicans would have had a better chance of carry ing the district had they endorsed Rasmussen who, himself, has always been prominent in g. o. p. circles.
