Terrible Famine in Once
Fertile China Province

DISPATCHES from Chengtu
~ China, tell a terrible story of
the famine and drouth in Szechuen
province, once one of the most fer
tile regions in the country. 1t is
said to be the worst famine in the
history of China, the deaths num-
bering many thousands and fully
100000 persons being in distress.
Suicides and 'mercy slayings" are
everyday incidents. The peasants
are reduced to eating dogs, cats,
rats and clay.
Officials said the situation pri-
marily was a result of Communist
fncursions during the last two years
in which the reds overran and pil.
laged the land.

 Paris-(UP)-It'S big relief to find that the new spring hats are wearable and in many cases even becoming. After viewing collec- tion after collection all winter of lit tie dishpan hats, queer bits of felt stuck together with odd feathers, toques with visors and other atroci- ties, it is 8 pleasure to see new hat collections. v
 First of all there is more simi- larity and it is apparent that hats must be worn forward to the front of the head. Second, there are lots and lots of veils, tricky ones, often doubled or gath cred up in fullness to be slipped un- der the band of ribbon which trims the crown.
 Even the small turbans and toques have a forward tilt. One in black straw has shallow crown, squared at the top, and is trimmed in front with large, prominent bow of the same soft, finely woven black straw.
 Brimmed hats can be shallow of crown or shaped similar to mans derby. The sailors usually have tiny crowns and small stiff brims. A band of grosgrain riggon trims the hat and sometimes extends in small streamer down the back. This type of hat is worn almost straight on the head instead of dipping to the right.

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

What shall I name my baby girl?" The letter was from the south. Texas.
 This was poser indeed. Texas Is not only a big place, but its women are at once beautiful and out-doorish. Besides, down on the border, there is the Spanish in- fluence. Mercedes and Dolores would not be the least bit original. Neither would Texas, for I hae known three Texas's, not one of whom was born there.
 The southern valley-states have way of going fifty-fifty in nam ing their girls. The first name is usually something as girly-girly as Elsie of book fame. But the second is often masculine. They have their Sally-Joes, their Polly Jims, Ruby-J Johns, and all the rest.
 Puritans Drew on Virtue
 New England used to name its girls from the virtues; Prudence, Patience, Faith, Caution, Honesty, Thankful. The Scotch and Irish brought their names with them names chosen from history, the Bible, and the saints. The history often went back 8 couple of thou sand years. Thus the Cornelias, Patricias, and SelineS. Occasion ally they borrowed. Letitia, or "Letizia," was Napoleon's mother, and Josephine his wife. Kath- arine and Catherine is information al.
 In Show Boat, "Kim" was born one stormy night where three states met, Kentucky, Illinois and Missouri. So KIM it was. Pen ny" was on 8 train in Pennsyl- vania yard. And there are several Storms.
 Fiction has provided material for girls names, so have jewels, months of the year, flowers and even fruit.
 This to show that mothers have unlimited resources when it comes to girls; but just look at the pos abilities for boys.
 Boys Named by Tradition
 Do they ever change? Not by an eyelash, except when sur- name is written instead John, Charles or Henry on the records.
 And so, dear lady from Texas, as there are such thousands to choose from, leave your baby to you. If old Spain or Mexico has

a slight temporary increase in the proportion of sugar in the blood and an increase in the rate of com bustion of this fuel for conversion into energy.
 In the booklet Building Vitality I say:
 Education, culture, good breed-
 ing make an individual keep at
 least the outward semblance of
 calm under circumstances which
 are likely to upset the more primi-
 tive or unrefined Now all this
 make-believe and repression of
 normal impulses takes it out" of
 anybody. Not nerve energy
 The harm is done rather in the
 racking of vital machinery by the
 release of excess energy (adrenin
 poured into the blood by the ad-
 renal glands in response to the
 emotional stimulus, and mobiliza-
 ton of the blood sugar, muscle and
 heart fuel for immediate use). If
 the impulse to action or motion
 were not restrained, this suddenly
 released energy would be absorbed
 or balanced by fighting, running
 away, playing.
 The excessive user of tobacco ag- gravateS the insult by lighting 8 cigarette in time of stress, which enables him to restrain or repress the impulse to action or motion. It is bad substitute for fighting, run ming away or playing, for 1t doesn't absorb any of the energy released by the emotion. This is the way excessive use of tobacco becomes 8 factor of high blood pressure, ar- teriosclerosis and cardiovascular de- generation of middle life, in my opinion.
 Speaking of education, culture, good breeding, it is unfortunate for the health and longevity of the race that such refinement imposes de- gree of false dignity and pretense on the individual which involves in- hibition or repression of all his nat ural impulses. Education and good breeding rather make an individual restrain his emotions, conceal his true feelings, even express or try to express the very contrary to what he feels. This is a strain on the arteries.
 Tobacco aggravates all the harm full effects of polite repression of emotions if you cultivate the habit of resorting to 1t in times of stress.
 No one enjoys a smoke more than I do. So don't hout what I say about tobacco, as the views of fanatic. I'm simply trying to tell what be- lieve is the truth about the effects of tobacco on health.
 If you are training for tobaccosis I suggest that you try taking a brisk walk around the block, or doing a few fancy dance steps, or rolling few somersaults, or going through some snappy calisthenic exercises instead of smoking, in moment of or emotional excitement of any kind. Or take a bite of candy instead of lighting cigarette.
 If you would like to break the cigarette habit, have a little mono- graph containing helpful sugges- tions, which is free on request if you enclose a stamped envelope bearing your address.

Your BabY's Health
Expectant Mothers Need No Massage
 Except On Advice Of Physician

I learn to rest frequently. If she has not been taking a nap in the after noon, she should develop the habit at this time, lying down for a half hour if circumstances permit.
 Even If she is not able to sleep, the reclining position rests the heart and relaxes the system gen orally. If possible, she may remove her usual clothing and take her nap in bed.
 Another pernicious notion is the the idea that bathing during this time may be harmful. Cleanliness at all times is necessary for the health of the human body. This does not mean excessive bathing.
 The skin should be kept clean because it is more active during this period than normally. The body is called on for increased elim- ination and excretion of waste sub- stances, and the skin is one of the important organs of the body in- volved in removal of such waste.
 There are many kinds of baths, including tn, shower, sponge, or tub varieties, and those given in bed. Very hot bathes cause fatigue The best temperature of water ur- der these circumstances is between 85 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
 Even those who are accustomed to a cold plunge every morninf1 will find it best to increase the tenn perature of the bath during the ex- pectant period. Certainly a warm bath daily is a requirement. for the expectant mother.
 If the mother -to-be finds it diff1- cult to sleep, she may take the warm bath at night, because 1t is relaxing and promotes sleep. If the warm bath is taken in the morning, at least an hour should elapse before the woman goes out doors, so that her body may be- come accustomed to the change in temperature.
 Tub baths should be avoided and the sponge or shower bath substi- tuted during the last months. This helps the prospective mother avoid infection.
 Extraordinary types of baths, such as cold showers, ocean baths, and particularly Turkish and Rus sian sweat baths, should not be taken except under the advice of 8 doctor, because they are exhaust ing.

Simple beauty tricks that take little time and even less money but which you practice regularly often do more for your good looks than complicated routines, repeated only now and then.
 For instance, dashing ice water on face and throat every night and each morning will keep your skin more firm and healthy than will a bi-monthly application of cold tonic. You really need to use the tonic, of course, but, unless you can afford always to keep it on hand and have time to apply 1t, you had better do the next best thing = use ice was ter, and use it every day.
 Remember that olive oil is a simple remedy for chapped hands. Alternate applications fo ice cold and quite hot water often will make red nose less conspicuous.
 When regular shampoos are out of the question for one reason or another, plain cornmeal is an ef- fective dry cleanser. At night, rub the meal on scalp and hair, massage it bit, wrap a towel around your head and go to bed. Next morning, brush for twenty minutes or until every trace of the meal is removed and your hair is clean, soft and shiny.
 For roughened elbows and knees, try olive oil or white vase- line. If they are discolored as well as rough, use lemon juice first, then oil or vaseline.
 If you can't afford three really good creams, put every cent of your cream allowance money into one excellent all-purpose variety. Incidentally, I know about new one which cleanses, softens and leaves the skin ready to receive makeup. This is perfect for a woman with limited budget. Also good for the business girl who can't bear to keep more than one jar of anything in her desk.

 Much foolish advice is circulated on the value of massage during the expectant period. It is contended that message will prevent scarring and will preserve the figure. But massage is unnecessary, and should never be used except by advice of doctor and under his immediate direction.
