A gleam of excitement showed in

into the pocket of his suit coat. A

Before he reached the counter a

appeared.
The little mans eyes glittered. His
hand darted beneath the counter and
came up with big black revolver.

He could see slim, young girl busy
at the coffee urn. Her back was
toward him-and there wasn't a soul

His fingers stif1ened as he dug

door, the girl said without turning
about, rs that you, Bob?"

man ordered grimly, lifting his pocket

The girl whirled about and eyed
him tearfully. Her pretty face paled.

her lips twitched, and she said with

THE man hung his head, stared at

made for the door. "Gee-I'm
ashamed. Doing this to a girl, toe"
he muttered in low voice.
"Wait!" the girl commanded brisk

left-you might as well have it."
The hungry derelict was consum-
ing his third bowl of stew, when the
girl asked casually, Been in the
stick-up business long?"
He threw her an indignant look.
She laughed softly. "Just curious,
I guess. Only-you don't sort of look
hard-boiled."
He pushed the empty bowl aside,
ate two doughnuts and gulped the
steaming coffee. Then he sighed

TESTED RECIPES
ChangIng Flavor of Left-overs

Cooked vegetables that have been simply dressed with butter for the first meal can appear in a vegetable or combination salad or they may be relocated in 0 cream sauce or made up in 6 scalloped dish. This changes the vegetable enough to make 1t acceptable at the very next meal.
 Vegetables and meats prepared in a crea msauce spoil very quickly. After the meal 1t should be cooled quickly and stored at once in the coldest part of the refrigerator. All creamed dishes should be used with- in twenty-four hours.
 It's a wise precaution to reheat on the second day creamed foods, gravies, sauces and soup stocks tthat are kept more than twenty four hours.
 Changing temperature and hu- midity affect many fo0dBtuffs se- verely. Bread molds quickly, pastry loses it's crispness, sweets lose their firm consistency. Fruits and vege- tables become over-ripe. This condi~ ton affects the tenderness. SO vege- tables often require extra time for cooking.

 The Baby Must Have Vitamlns
 Is 1t all right to give the baby his daily dose of fish-liver oil in his daily dose of tomato juice2 Or would 1t be better to give them separate ly? P. (Mrs. A. O.

 Fear
 Twice I have failed to pass an examination because of fear of the stethoscopc. As soon as the doctor comes at me with the stethoscope my heart begins galloping, and he can't pass me. Yet in Q little while afterward the heart is normal. How can overcome this fear2 It is all that keeps me out of 0 good position. (F. J. W.
 Answer-I suggest you take the treatment which has overcome stage fright in many instances--a grain of quinine bisulphate three times @ day for Q week or ten days before the ordeal. Or ask your physician to give you e suitable sedative an hour be- fore the examination.

GIOrtying Yourself
By Alicia Hart
MA aervlce atafl Writer

 Good posture is the first requisite of grace. A woman who stands on one foot, allowing stomach to pro- trude, slumps forward when she walks or sags clumsily; when she sits cannot possibly hope to appear graceful and lovely.
 First of all, learn to stand cor rectly. Don't throw shoulders back stiffly or hold chin rigidly in. Forget about these and con- centrate on your backbone. If 1t is straight, except for four or five vertebrae at the base which should be turned up and forward, stomach will look fiat and hips more slender. In other words, avoid an exagger- ated hollow in the center of the back.
 When you sit, remember that the center of your back - not shoulders--should rest against the back of the chair. Cross your legs, If you like, but always cross one above-never below-the knee of the other. Remember, of course, that about the most awkward thing you can do is to sit with your feet wide apart, flat on the floor. Always keep feet close together.
 Another graceless effect can be obtained by standing on one foot with opposite hip thrown out- ward, stomach protruding. This pose will ruin the appearance of any figure. By all means avoid 1t. Instead, always stand with your weight placed equally on the balls of both feet.
 When you walk, move from the hips as long columns that swing along in one piece from waistline to feet instead of broken columns that move sometimes between hips and knees--other times be- tween knees and feet.
 Regardless of your size or weight, you should do limbering and stretching exercises that keep the waistline, legs and arms supple. In the morning, stretch forward to touch the floor with your hands. Keep knees stiff and do the exercise very slowly. Then bend backward, to the right, to the left, and forward again. Swing arms up and down as you do deep breathing routines. And don't forget ankle and foot exer- cises.

which Grace preferred to keep to herself. She had occasion to fear Glenn Dudley.

But as much as she diSltked Glenn Dudley, Grace admired and almost loved his wife Mary. Here was clever and Q fine woman. Mary Dudley combined the qualities of good wife, devoted mother, and swell pal. She hadn't the slightest suspicion that her husband was anything but the ideal husband he pretended to be. Mary and Grace had been discussing the merits of the picture which they had just seen. Highballs were passed around, and the conversation swerved from the feartaches of the movie wife to life in general. "But Grace, Mary was saying; what satisfaction would you find in divorcing 0 husband. even though he acted as did the man in the picture tonight?" to which Grace replied: "Well I re- fuse to put myself in the same poe sition of that wife, even for the sake of supposition; but rest assured
 my dear, would not accept that situation in my home for Q min-
 ute." Continuing Grace said: T have no patience with two-timing

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton


 Swimming time again. The days are here when every pool from the park fountain to Dobbin's old wa ter trough wonders what its all about. When they were built, the one for beauty, the other for use those long years ago, people con- fined their water sports to Satur- day night, or wading ankle-deep in the picnic brook. Oh yes, the kids did wiggle two fingers and chase off to the swimming hole; but then 1t was a sub rosa affair nearly always, and was paid for in the usual coin of the transgressor.
 Few people were really water minded. We can wave of that Sat- urday night remark as Q joke, but not the rest of 1t. Water spelled ter. for for most, and he who could act- ually swim was Q seventh wonder. Today everybody swims, and Old Man Neptune no longer holds Q mortgage on the sea.
 Respect Versus Fear
 All this prologue for Q purpose. Anything that develops quickly nearly always leads to over-con- fidence. Each year takes its toll of drowned children now, which proves that as far as water-fear goes. well, there isn't any. should say "wa- ter respect" instead of fear. There is @ difference.
 It is good for children to swim and dive and exercise in the water It is good for the body and good for the soul. So I write not to diScour- age. but to warn.
 Water is not mans natural habitat. He was made to breath air and nothing else but. This thought should never leave the mind of either child or adult who gets the bathing suit out of the moth balls.
 No one would walk into 6 gas- filled room without being sure the windows. were open and the spring. lock on the door in working order. In other words he must be sure there is 6 way out.
 It is the same with water. It is necessary to know you are safe in the water and to know there is no risk to prevent coming out alive and well.
 The risks are plenty obvious to all of us, I think, but these few will bear repeating. Water too cold causes cramps. Bathing too soon af- ter Q meal IS dangerous In various ways. River-swimming almost ir- variably is unsafe on account of un- dercurrents and suction holes.
 Diving into shallow water or rock filled lakes should be left to experts. And they don't do 1t, either. The child who can't swim or is just learn ing certainly has no business in wa- ter higher than his ribs. No one should swim near Q dam. Only the very seasoned should try diving from 8 boat.
 As for park pools, usually Q guard watches owe rthe children. But 1t is wise to have an older person along anyway, especially on busy days. If parents would impress all these things on their offspring in no un- certain terms and train them for water as thoroughly as for highway traffic. many lives would be saved.
 Find out where Johnny is going, then go out and look the place over yourself, if possible.

amounts not suitable to their years.
 Children should eat slowly and chew thoroughly. They can be taught to chew by giving them solid food and such substances as hard, dry crackers, zwieback, crisp toast, and similar substances, after their molar teeth have developed.
 Finally, the baby should drink water several times Q day between meals, as well as the water which regularly accompanies the meals.
 Especially important is emphasis on the baby's feeding itself and eating without too much trouble. The baby that lacks appetite learns to play with food.
 Parents encourage this by feeding the baby and amusing 1t during the eating. The child develops less and less desire for food and will probably learn to vomit, just to avoid eating.
 Most experts now advise that the food should be given at regular hours and, in IS or 20 minutes, be taken away, even though none has been eaten. The child should not be offered more food until the next regular meal.
 It is hardly worth while to spend much time talking to the child, be- cause coaxing only makes matters worse.

Paris Styles

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris, (UP) P)--Schiaparelli, who H often termed Europes most dis cussed dress designer, has set down @ number of dress rules for the women who have not large al- lowances for clothes.
 First of all, says Schiaparelli, don't try to buy as much as you can for your, money. It is bet- ter to have Q few good clothes than many cheap ones. Too many wo- men obey a quick impulse to buy something new and find them. selves with an odd assortment of sweaters, belts, hats and dresses which are unsuitable with other accessories. Schiaparelli says that 1t is far more important that each out (whether you have one or dozen) be complete as far as shoes, handbag, gloves, hat, shoes and so forth are concerned.
 Equally important is the rule don't follow styles set in the films. No one would think Of wearing screen makeup on the street and similarly, one should not try to adopt the exotic type of dressing shown on the screen.
 Cut is of first importance, ac- cording to schiaparelli, and of course cut implies 1t. Suits and dresses, cut and fitted by an expert, will remain smart far longer than cheap clothes.
 Another important bit of ad- vice is that woman should not be too extreme about hats and hair styles, for young face Is more attractive in Q simple set- ting. She should be equally careful in not being excessive in the use of makeup, as by using too much color the facial expression is washed out and the face looks older.
