less it was necessary to catch up
on time. And there was no neces-
sity for speed when the apprentice
went along with Red on his first
trip in the cab, but Red soon had
the locomotive tearing down the
tracks at terrific clip.
AS WE said before, the faster
one of those locomotives went, the
more it swayed and rocked And
this locomotive seemed to be rock
ier than any on the road, besides
having a case of jitters from old
age. Fer a while the younger man
didn't seem to mind the swaying,
but not being used to the rocking,
it finally began to tell on him and
he began to look little sick
around the gills, as if seasick.
Red chuckled as he noted his
students troubled face, and opened
the throttle a little wider. Finally,
the younger man called over to him.;
Aren't we going pretty fast?"
"Nawm Red called hack. "This
amt fast" Then Red spoke again.
"Tell you what you do" he said.
Go back on the tender ard see If
you can see the numbers on the
side of the third car back"
The student Immediately left his
seat on the other side of the cab
and made his way precariously to
the tender. Pretty soon he re-
turned, saying:
mo, Red, I can't see the num-
bers."
"Well," said Red, seriously,
when that car sways enough so
you can see the numbers, we'll be
going fast enough"

BACK IN the days when Cath
arine the Great ruled Russia,
women often wore Wigs. These
wigs were, of course, differently
coiffed. And when woman
wished to change her hair style,
she merely put on another wig.
That custom, according to his
torians, was quite commonly prac-
ticed way back in the seventeen
hundreds. Yet it ceens that his
tory docs repeat itself-even in the
beauty world. For oyer i'll London,
I'm told. wcmon are now wearing
wigs that duplicate their own
coiffures when they have not the
time to curl their locks into the
numerous ringlets that fashion
now demands.
There's no doubt that you've got
to have plenty of curls and ring
lets this season, if you wish your
coiffure to have that right touch
of smartness and chic. And, I'm
glad to say, curler has been in
vented that is not only fool-proof,
but is also quick and easy to use.
1t somewhat resembles Juniors toy
pistol, and works quite as accu-
rately. For every time you manip-
ulate this curler, it hits its target,
producing a curl in no time exactly
where you wish that curl to be.
Fun to Use
This little gadgct is actually fun
to use. It's simple to use, too, but
not quite 50 simple to describe,
but we'll try it just the same, be-
cause we feel sure you'll be inter-
ested. 1t looks somewhat like
those aluminium curriers' except that
it is longer, has a button on top to
open the curler, a knob on the end
to twist up the curl, and an extra
rod on the under-side that is hollow
and that extends the entire length
of the curler.
To use it, you open one of the

DEAR DOCTOR: My three
year-old daughter constantly vets
the bed. One doctor suggested
that I give her no liquid after six
o'clock, and to limit her supper IL
ouid to six ounces of fluid. I have
done this faithfully but with no
success. I always take her up
about ten-thirty every night, but
she is inevitably wet in the morn
ing. Quite often she awakens and
cries for me to change her
clothes. 1t is only recently
that I have been able to keep
her dry by day. =. Incident
ally have a young daughter aged
nine months. The doctor I con-
suited seemed to think my older
girl had accidents because she
was Jealous of the baby. But we
are careful not to give the little
one any more attention than the
three-year-old
NV answer: In the first place,
don't have so much concern about
the bed-wetting of your little
daughter. Thousands of fine adults
slept in brine long past the age of
three, and it probably didn't hurt
them. except the shame and re-
morse which the parents imposed
upon them. Provide a rubber sheet
for her bed and assure her she need
not worry If she has an accident.
Never compare her with the baby,
and see that the baby does not
get so much attention. You and
dad read and play more with the
other child, and show her more af-
lection. Jealousy easily may be a
factor.
Set Alarm
Set the clock and take the child
up about II or i O'Clock, or often
enough to keep her dry all night.
When she awakens dry, make a
great ado about her success; when
she awakens wet, ignore it.
/ wish I might persuade pedia-
tricians to quit advising mothers
to reduce liquids for the child late
in the day. Naturally, if the child
has little water in her, little will
escape. But the main problem is
habit-control. The same doctor
who advises reduction Of liquids in
e d:et, later advises the mother to
cokrage the child to drink a
great deal of water. But you and
I have seen children warned
against drinking water "or you
will wet the bed", grow SO OBJ
sessed with this fear that for years
afterwards they will choose to
drink little or no water late in
the day.
Mothers of older children who
wet their beds: Please, please, be
sensible. Quit abusing that child
He already has heartaches which
he can scarcely bear. See the need
lesJ suffering to childhood. 1t is
q matter that can be so easily dealt
with when sympathy and intelli-
gence are exercised.

Poems That Live
SMOKE

SMOKE
Light-winged Smoke, Icarian bird,
Melting thy pinions in thy upward
fight,
Lark without song, and messenger
of dawn,
Circling above the hamlets as thy
nest;
Or else, departing dream, and shad-
owy form
OF midnight vision, gathering up
thy skirts;
BY night star-veiling, and by day
Darkening the light and bfotting
out the sun;
Go thou my incense upward from
this hearth,
And ask the gods to pardon this
clear flame.

numerous bobby pins that come
with the gadget, and slip one side
into the hole in the curler and one
into the hole in the hollow rod.
You then dampen your hair some
what and place a small strand of
it between the curler and its clamp.
vi use that button / mentioned,
Of course, to open the curler.
After the strand of hair is in the
curler, you move the curler down
the length of the hair to the ends.
Then, holding the curler in the left
hand by the rod on the under
side, you simply turn the knob
at the end SO that it moves upward
toward your scalp. The knob
should be turned as many times as
you wish, depending upon the
length OF your hair and upon how
close to the head you wish the
curls placed.
After this, hold the knob tightly
with one hand, pressing the button
which releases the clamp very
lightly. and with the other hand
slide the hair, bobby pin and all,
off the curler.
Form a Curl
You'll find that this procedure
will form curl, and at the same
time will leave the bobby pin un-
derneath where it will not show
but will hold the hair firmly in
place until it's dry. The bobby
pins can be removed when the hair
is thoroughly dry, and the ringlets
then combed over the finger. But
the pins can also be permitted to
remain in the hair, If desired, for
since they are invisible, they may
be left in the hair all day without
showing.
IT takes just about half a minute
to make curl with this new curl
ing gadgct-and even less as you
become more proficient in its
usage, and as the construction is
sturdy, the curler will last indefi-
nitely.

Pal

Sly Digs
Former Friend Can't
take" Break In
Friendship
BY. VIRGINIA LEE

ONE CAN see the error of her
ways, reform, and still not be a
prig about it, can't one? 1t is a
long hard lesson for some of us to
learn: that we needn't be snooty
because we disapprove of the ways
of some folk we know, and criti-
else them or stop going with them.
I think I've had very broad
minded pals. One woman I have
in mind proved herself a good
steady friend to several people who
lied about her and tried to harm
her. She wasn't fooled. She knew
what they did, but she never
seemed to let it interfere with her
friendship. That comes pretty
close to being sublime, doesn't it?
A BAD GIRL writes me and
asks me to criticise her if I think
she deserves it. She doesn't, but
I think I can give her a timely
word of advice. Her letter tells
that she has been going with an
older girl-seven years her senior.
They went to parties, drank and
smoked, but my correspondent
tired of this and started to go to
church, belong to different organi-
cations, and to go out with a
different type of friends.
The bad Girl" is much happier
now and feels life is more worth
while. The other girl is still
going strong" in the old way, and
every time they meet the old pal
gives her a "sweet Dig. They
meet quite often and my corre-
spondent doesn't want to "give her
the gate" altogether, but she
doesn't like the dirty digs"
Don't "give her the gate, then,
my dear. Be friendly and take all
her digs in good part. You prob
ably have them coming for chum-
ming around for so long with a
girl of that type. They won't hurt
you as long as they don't turn you
from the path you have chosen and
find SO worthwhile. Probably your
former pal is little jealous of the
new friends and influences. It's
just possible she wishes she too
had followed your example.
Show her that you can be a
good sport and that you feel
friendly toward her, no matter how
your paths diverge. Make that
life rule.
LOUIS GREENE writes most
emphatically about the man who,
with a wife and six children, leaves
them at home, takes the car and
goes out to enjoy himself. His
opinion of such man is very low.
Mr.. Greene has six children and
has lost his wife who was his
chosen companion.
agree with your estimate Of
the husband and father who is so
selfish, Mr.. Greene, am sorry you
are lonely for your fine wife.

BY WORTH CHENEY

BACK IN THE early twenties,
if you don't remember. riding on
a railroad train was not the COM
fort and joy it is now. Trains in
those days were fast enough, but
they had a very uncomfortable
habit of swaying and rocking, and
the faster they went, the more they
would sway and rock.
Engineers in early railroad his
tory were more than just engineers
they were rough, hard-boiled,
Woodworking characters, and,
above all, dependable. Lacking
the equipment of the present-day
locomotive, railroads Is years ago
depended a great deal on the engi-
neer to get the train through on
time. And the engineer seldom
failed.
Red Stevens was one Of those
tough, sturdy, dependable engi-
neers. And Red, who worked on a
Michigan line, was the type of man
who liked practical joke.
BESIDES his regular duty of
guiding the train safely from one
end of the run to the other, Red
often was called upon to instruct
newly-appointed engineers in the
what and what-nots of operating a
locomotive. He took particular de-
light in this role, for it afforded
him an opportunity to have some
fun, and to see just how much the
apprentice could take.
One of these neophytes was a
young and rather timid fellow who
had worked his way up through
the ranks to the post of engineer.

Folk Troubled With

By LOGAN CLENDENING, nj. ID.
WHEN YOU think about pain in
the feet or legs, it is instructive to
suppose that it is due to some
trouble with the nerves or the
muscles, or the bones and joints
but, as a matter of fact, there is
largo group of disorders of a
norc or less painful kind that is
Guc to arrangement of the blood
Vessels of the extremities. These
have been studied quite extensively
recently and, in fact, there is al
.acet 4 speciality in medicine, which
is that of vascular diseases of the
c::trcmities.
The subject is pertinent at this
time of year, because one of the
forms, namely chilblains, is very
likely to be due to cold and ex-
rcsurc. People who ever have been
subject to chilblains should begin
about this time of year to take
every prccaution to prevent 1t dur
ing the winter weather that is
ahead of us.
Chilblain a pernio occurs only in
certain groups of people whose
blood vessels are not extremely re-
5ponsive. The temperature and nu-
triton of the foot are due to the
ability of the small arteries and
capillaries to respond to changes
of temperature. If you could see
a foot undergoing an attack of chill
blain (this is practically impossi-
BILE, because the first stage occurs
while the foot is covered up), you
would see that in cold, wet wealth.
er the vessels respond by extreme
contraction so that the foot is very
pale. Very little blood is brought
to the capillary vessels and the
blood in them stagnates, leading to
the second stage in which the foot
is blotchy and purplish and some
what sensitive.
Tender, Also
It is also tender so that the
owner of the feet goes indoors,
takes off shoes and stockings, and
puts the feet before a radiator or
fire. This causes the arterials to
op up, but since their nervous
control is not normal they overdo
it, and the dilated capillaries be-
come flushed with blood. Some of
this blood is forced out into the
tissue spaces so that the foot is
now red and swollen ard tender.
Sometimes this transudation of
fluid causes enough pressure so
that the skin is broken, leading
to a slight liberation, which is
known as broken cfilblain.
Mild and brief attacks of this do
not cause any permanent changes,
but if the exposure is prolonged
or repeated there is some fibrosis
around the blood vessels and cal
loused spots occur, particularly be-
hind the heel
The condition runs in families,
which emphasizes the fact that it
is primarily due to poor nervous
control of the blood vessels. 1t is
definitely related to other diseases
of the vessels of the extremities
called Raynaud's disease, Bergers
disease and erythromelalgia, as
well as to the condition of lame
ness and pain which occurs on ex-
ertion in middle-aged and elderly
people with recognized hardening
Of the arteries, called intermittent
claudication.
We will discuss these diseases
and something of their modern
treatment tomorrow.

materially to the charm of this

ideal home for the small family
operating on moderate salary.
A closeup of the doorway is shown.
Another feature of the above

tributes to the economy Of con-
struction.
The hospitable vestibule with

This house will cost between
$4,000 to $4,000 to build depending
upon building costs in certain
