I BECAME actress because I didn't like
school. People argue with me and say must
have had strong desire to act even as little
girl, but I don't remember it.
When was going to the Annie Wright Sem
mary in Tacoina-a beautiful school overlook
ing Puget Sound-it was torture to me if had
to get up and recite. 1 was so self-conscious
and shy that got very poor grades because
would prepare an oral recitation and then, when
the teacher called me, would say was
prepared.
We had moved to Tacoma from Portland,
Ore, where I was born, and when was 10 we
moved again. this time to Hollywood. My inter-
est in school seemed to decrease after started
going to public school in Los Angeles. It was
no fault of the teachers or the system; would
have hated the rules and regulations no matter
where l went to school.
l also hated being told what 1 should read
and study I read what wanted to, and passed
up the studies that didn't interest me.
From grammar school went to Los An
eees High and later to Hollywood High but l

usually went to the movies or the public Ii
brary Finally, when I was within half year
of graduating I sat down with mother one day
and discussed going to dramatic school. After
seeing so many movies, thought had at least
a little talent and that I would enjoy study
ing to become an actress.
KNOWING how hated public school, mother

year.

llGl3UB8 Gl0rifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

The girl who wants to look neat, trim and attractive should learn, first of all. to stand with her weight on both feet. one who bal- ances herself on one foot, letting the other nip sag and swing loosely, is bound to appear untidy and awk- ward.
 Whether you are standing or walking, feet should be parallel. If you grew up under the loving guido ance of physical training rules that made you toe out, throw shoulders back atld chest out and pull yout chin in, you ought to begin right now to make your posture all ovAr
 Correct carriage means chin al a level which allows your eyes to see the ceiling without moving your, head. Stand the way you ordinarily do. then see if, by merely looking upward, you can see the ceiling of the room. If you have to strain your eyes or move your head, your postuer is wrong.
 First of all, stand with feet par- allel- about four inches apart and weight of your body squarely on both of them. Now place one hand at the base of your spine the other on your stomach, and tilt the lower end of your back. bone forward. Notice how thi' straightens the hollow in the mid de of your back and pulls ston. ach up and in.
 Walk as though you were sus' pended on 8 rope from the sky Hold your chest high and try tx pull your lazy torso upward anC away from hipbones. Don't sal in the middle. Don't slouch. AnC don't slump. Shoulders are sup. posed to be square, but carried al a comfortable angle-not strained backward.

Soiled Fingers Usually Transmit Germs
 That Cause Food Poisoning
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American
 Medical Association, and of
 IIygeia, the Health Magazine
 It is common for an individual suddenly to bend over double with gripping pain in his midriff, assert that it must be from something he 'et'," and then shake his head and say that he suffers from ptomaine poisoning.
 Actually, most of the cases of so- called ptomaine poisoning represent infection with germs principally of the paratyphoid type. These germs have been isolated from crab meat. oysters, ice cream, sausage, corn beef hash, and various other foods Contamination usually is caused by the soiled fingers of food handlers.
 In typical cases, the person con- cerned is seized with pains about three hours after eating the con- tarninated food. There are pains in the abdomen and limbs, severe diarrhea and vomiting, and some times high fever.
 Collapse may follow, The symp- toms usually subside quickly if the person is put at once to rest and the digestive tract cleared of its contents
 Before modern scientific know ledge was gained of the way in which foods may produce poisoning, epidemics of this type were not really understood. Nowadays, when g great number of people suddenly show the symptoms that have been mentioned, the epidemiologist is likely to find the germ responsible without much diflculty.
 At q 1928 picnic in Boston, 150 people who had eaten chocolate cream pie developed the symp- toms all at once. In one 1926 epi- demic in England. 63 people de- veloped the symptoms after eating ice cream which they purchased at q certain stand. It was found that the woman who dispensed the ice cream was a paratyphoid-B germ carrier, and that she herself had contaminated all the ice cream.
 
 In such cases, remember that in- less the stomach already has

HOW THE BABY SLEEPS AND GROWS
 A healthy baby sleps most of the time, grows all the time and eats in between times. The first few weeks the baby should sleep from twenty to twenty-two hours out of the twenty-four, in maps from two to three hours long except one long stretch of about five hours at night. The baby wakes only when hungry or uncomfortable. It is well to es- tablish regular habit by waking the baby regularly at feeding time ex- cept the long stretch at night. Up to the age of six months the baby should sleeep from sixteen to eighteen hours day, the waking intervals being from half an hour to two hours long. Ot the age of one year the baby still requires fourten to fifteen hours sleep, and should be bathed, fed and tucked into bed for the night by p. m. at the latest, better at p. m.
 Let the baby have an unlighted room and reasonable quiet but do not hush-hush the household. Bet ter to train the baby to sleep un- disturbed by the ordinary sounds of the household. Never leave 8 lamp or light burning in the sleeping room. Train the baby to have no fear of the dark.
 Never rock or sit by the baby or use other means to coax sleep. It is all right for mother or nurse to croon a soft lullaby for few moments by way of good night. A quiet darkened room, comfort able bed, clean skin, a fresh clean dry napkin, a loose long mighty and 8 square meal are all healthy baby requires to bring slumber.
 When the sleepy-time meal is dis posed of, the baby, already bathed, and in mighty, should be gently laid in bed, without anything in mouth or hand. It is counting grief to cul- tivate the habit of holding some- thing in the mouth or in the hand and it is unfair to the baby to cultivate such neurotic habits. After the fourth month the baby should sleep all night from 10 p. m. to 6 a. m. without waking. If the baby does awaken after 10 p. m., do rot take him up or feed him again. Sc that he is warm and dry, and let him cry 1t out. Otherwise your baby learns that he can regu- late your life to suit his whimS and you will never have any peace or comfort, for baby is an unconSci- enable tyrant when he once learns he can have his way.
 If the nutrition Is optimal and the sleeping habit is right, the baby grows ten inches in length the first year and three inches the second year. The birth Weight is doubled in the first three months. trebled in the first eight months, and nearly quadrupled in the first year. Only the infants of intelligent parents or parents instructed by up-to-date physicians achieve optimal nutri- ton. If your baby doesn't it is be- cause you have not paid attention to the advice that has been given here. The circumference of the baby's head increases from 1894 inches at birth to 17& inches at the age of a year.
 Remember, the sole business of the baby for year is to eat, sleep and grow and the less you inter fere with this business the better for the future health and happiness of the baby.

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

London: noticed a page of draw ings by children in daily paper here and am amazed by a child of two years and nine-monthS who drew the picture of "a man with Q hat. Quite clear it was. To think of a baby being able to outline form like that. Flaw many people stop to think pictures drawn by children are remarkable to de- gree? What happens between the time of first brave endeavor, and maturity, when many of these self made artists will protest that they cannot draw 8 crooked line?
 It is a great thing to be able to draw. To me, it is like being able to pull rabbits or goldfish out of hat. There is something mystic about the hand being able to re- produce what the eye sees. Yet sometimes I think all children are artists more or less. Once 8 little boy of thre sadi he was going to draw a goat. And he did draw one. Enthusiastically it was goat. Now he is six, and insists that he can't draw a goat, or anything else. What happened to his inventive ness? Very possibly he has become self conscious. And that is the end of inventiveness, think.
 Few Survive Criticism It is not always so, however. Some childern go right through life retaining their gift of reproduction on paper. These have never let fear of criticism affect their efforts. It must be so, for I cannot think of anything else. Children react differ ently to comment.
 On the same page as the Man With a Hat" was the picture of "A Horse in a Hurry. Drawn by four year -old. Most undoubtedly 1t was a horse in a hurry. Ones first impulse was to laugh. If, instead of sending the picture to the paper, that little tad'S parents had shouted with glee, I am right willing to bet he never would try to draw any more horses in a hurry. He might draw other things, but the spontaneity of one creative idea would be gone.
 Don't Stifle Ability
 Once I saw an exhibit of paint ings by small children. I believe it was from Prague. They had had to carry out their own ideas with out suggestion, or criticism. What ever spark of ingenuity they pos sessed they were permitted to give vent to without interference. Of course, only the outstanding ex- amples were chosen, no doubt but the ones I saw were incred- ibly good. The idea is so advanc- ed that few schools favor it. Right here we run into trouble, because earl ytraining is considered indis- pensible to mature perfection.
 But in all creative work, be- lieve, there is too much tendency to stifie and make 1t conform to technical standards. before the faith of the child is set in himself. Art is only one of dozens of things the child does. that we are overly anxious to pour into the iron moulds of standard; in early years particularly, when Encouragement means the end. And think that Iparents who note early successes of the child, would do well to remem- Der them. Often they are keys to latent ability that may be lost sight of during years of school and rou- tine training.
