It is utterly amazing how ignor- ant many people are about the names and Identities of flowers.

RHCKETs AND FLAT FEET
 Three factors contribute toward the occurrence of "weak ankles" pronated feet, the early or func- tlonal stage of flat feet, commonly seen in children, especially girls, from ten Co sixteen years old, wrote or Doc Brady In his tthls) health column Q long time ego, namely
 (i) faulty nutrition
 (2) neglect of physical education
 (S) improper footwear.
 That first factor was just Enull- ing over in my mind. You know it was easier to run Q health column ia those days. Not 90 many critics houndIng the life out of mo every time l said anything that didn't jIbe well with their notion of what the public should know. So I had more time, more liberty, more incentive to work out little problems which needed clarification. The conviction that faulty nutrition is on impor. tant cause of this weakness was borne ia on me in the early days of practice when observed that most children with pronatted feet were physically deficient and needed Q good tonic": they were pale, too, and needed iron" they usually got . "tonic", Q kind of shotgun mixture which contained . pinch of iron, enough quinine to make 1t as bitter as c "toaio" had to be, and . good dash of nux monica or it's alkaliod strychnine to whip up the poor un. dernourishod nerves and strength en" the soft muscles and ligaments.
 Of course such treatment availed little. Whatever benefit the child received from treatment was due to the strapping or other elastic sup- port for the feet and legs and to correction Of errors in the shoes, and to such accidental exposure to sunlight as the child happened to enjoy.
 This functional weakness of legs and feet, which ultimately becomes c structural defect (flat feet) If neglected, IS for less common to- day than 1t was thirty years ago. I believe 1t Is less common, not because children's shoes are 50 much better now, but mainly be- cause they get moro ultraviolet light on naked skin, and more vitamin D In their diet. The recommendation of ali health authorities that every- body should drink c quart of milk c day-the youth food-has un- douhtedly contributed toward this improvement in physical status. Fresh whole milk, cream end but tor, together with yolk of egg, arc practically the only natural foods that furnish any significant amount of vitalnin D. Fish liver oil of ono sore or another has been the prin- cipal source of vltainin D to sup- piement ordinary diet in infancy or childhood. The taste of fish liver oil is sometimes 0 serious ob- jectlon. Today, however, the most highly concentrated vltaInin D ob. taInablO is tasteless and Q dose of Q few drops daily will supply more vl-

Paris Styles
By MARY FENTRRss

United Press stan Corrcspondent)
 Paris-There is more variety in bathing suits this season than ever before. Besides the usual wools, hand and machine knits and the Lastex weaves, there are cotton mixtures and jerseys which are em- bfoldered with little yellow and white daisies on navy, red, placK' blue green and deep mustard yell low backgrounds. A..
 Most people try to get bathing suits that make them look smaller and thinner, and there are certain new weaves that take inches away from hips. These suits, Of two colors or two tones of the same color, are woven in squared or checkered pat terms with the large squares l n front and back. The pattern fades into smaller and smaller squares at the bulging places and makes a round figure appear much simmer and much straighter.
 The newest Lastex suits are made similarly, with special reinforce Fnents to hold the bulges and curves. They act almost like an elastic girdle. As e matter of fact, there are actual rubber girdles manufac- tured for the sole purpose of being worn under a bathing suit. They are made like a pair of short pants with two openings for the legs. They are said to be invisible under Q suit and a great asset to the portly figure, although rather uacomfort- able for swimming.
 For the girl who is too thin, there are suits of toweling or terry cloth made especially to pad out the flg- ure. They are printed in any varie- ty of brightly colored designs.
