 Manifestations of cardiovascular degenration in it's incipient or ear- Hest stage are scarcely sufficient to alarm the victim. The symptoms Changes the subject may perceive) and signs Changes the physician may find by periodic examinations or health audits) of beginning ar teriosclerosis, hypertrophy of heart and so on, are only gradual and hence fo great many needless young folk senility rather than life begins at forty.
 At thirty to forty, the very prime of life for man or woman, one na- turally dislikes to recognize slight falling off in physical or mental ef- ficiency or both, slight decrease in former ambition or pep. One wants to go on laughing at doctors and their incessant croaking about rules of hygiene and right living.

 Many men in the incipient stage of cardiovascular degeneration drift along with the false assurance they get from having successfully passed a life insurance examination. Such an examination does not disclose the early stage signs of cardiovascu- lar degeneration, nor is the life in- surance examiner concerned about other health deficiencies which may be the only manifestations of this heart and artery failure in early adult life, not conclusive symptoms but suggestive, such as increasing disinclination to indulge in active exercise or work or play, increasing SallowneSS, coarSeness, harshness and dryness of the skin, dull gray congeSted eyes, stomach troubles and dull headaches to which one was not subject when in ordinary health, hair turning prematurely gray chronic tired feeling not relieved by much rest or by vacation, stale ness, mental torpor, poor circulation, cold hands and feet.

 Answer-It is a serious condition and should have thorough treatment by your physician or an ear special ist. If you cannot have proper treatment, avoid putting oils or other medicaments in ear, avoid wearing cotton or other plug, apply twice daily a drop or two of agree ably warmed solution of 10 grains of boric acid in 8 nounce of pure grain alcohol. Warm it by standing the vial in warm water. Continue using the drops for several months, but only if you are unable to have the condition treated by a physi- clan.

 Calling the roll in memory cannot find a divorce in the group. Today, true to old tradition, once 8 month, following the Sunday night church service, 500 boys and girls from the ages of 16 to 25, meet for a social and devotional service and come because they like 1t.
 There are other churches which follow the same program. Liter ally thousands of them. If young men and women, boys and girls, who want to meet people and have a natural, wholesome recreational life realized this fact, they would see one another in church much more frequently.

 Not one bit! The Young Man from Galilee whose name the churches bear, performed His first miracle at 8 wedding. It was in Cana of Galilee. From the Scrip tural account everybody had @ mighty good time.

GlorUying Yourself

 The more beautiful your feet are the more comfortable they will be. And when you stop to think that tired, aching feet cause lines and wrinkles and general feeling of mental unhappiness, you will re- alize immediately how important 1t is, from a practical as well as es- thetic viewpoint, to take foot groom ing routines a little more seriously.
 Did you know that many beau- ticians recommend cuticle remover for callouses on heels and bottom of the feet? Or that others now tell their customers to put pore paste on callouses at night? You can, of course, use puinice stone on an es- pecially hard callous. But you ought to moisten the piece of pumice be- fore you begin to rub. and you should not rub for more than 30 seconds at any one time.
 The moment you see a sign of corn, get corn plasters from your drug store and wear them over the small reddish spot until it disap- pears. If 1t does not go away, See foot doctor at once. You cannot treat them satisfactorily yourself.
 You can, however, get rid of the shoes which are causing the trouble, and you can make a resolution never to buy an improperly fitted pair again. If the salesman takes the trouble to measure your foot carefully and if you follow his ad- vice instead of trying to squeeze into shoes that are too small or those which have heels higher than you know you ought to wear, foot ailments should vanish then and there.
 Get foot brush and use it every night. Apply cuitcle cream around toe nails now and then. To reduce swelling and throbbing, soak feet in soapy lukewarm water, dry care- fully, then plunge them into very cold water or rub with an ice cold astripgent. Dry again and dust with powder. Extremely tender feet should be soaked in a mild solution of baking soda and water. And rough, chapped ones ought to be massaged with hand lotion or night cream every night.

 New York.-With designers look ing to the American Exposition and the romantic costumes of Hun graian peasants for inspiration, the array, of new summer drsSeS has been made colorful, gay and exclt- ing. This is a season when you can wear bright gold, scarlet, various tones of royal blue, vivid green to your hearts content.
 Pan-American Exposition silks come in such interesting shades as Aztec red (almost an old fashioned turkey red); Toltec green Gan em- erald tone); Inca gold Ca true gold shade). Also in a variety of softer, rather dusty colors which are eSpe- cially flattering to women with vivid coloring, such as dark eyes and hair and very white skin. Desert dawn, a cloudy rose-pink; Chile copper, a wonderful rosy henna ; pampas beige, with pinkish lights ln 1t; desert dusk, clear, wide-awake gray, and Toucan, Subdued or- ange, are among the incest.
 Bright Frocks for Vivid Beauties Nowadays fashionists seem tc agree that the woman with vivio coloring should wear rather bright colors. Otherwise, she overshadows her clothes to the point where the! seem actually drab. Put a white skinned, d. k-haired beauty in a brown ensemble and the ensemble will mean little or nothing. But dress her in a warm rose, dusty blue or scarlet frock and, Immediately she and the costume will take on new interest. On the other hand they say, it's a mistake for sub- dued looking, colorless woman to wear scarlet. The color overshad- ows her completely. Darker or neu- tral colors will bring her out to bet ter advantage.
 Anyway, if you have been wear ing navy or black or beige all spring it's a good idea to have a gay sum- mer dress or two. If you do wear navy or black silk sheers on hot | QdyS, 1TeSllell tllclu up W1tiA oPASAN and span white collars or bows or jabots. The cooler you look, the coler you will feel.
 Low Necks for Comfort
 Pleats and tucks distinguish the smartest frocks of the moment. Many silk sheers are tucked from necklines to hems. Others have swirling box or knife-pleated skirts. Unless your hips are quite slim, do not wear a pleated skirt which hangs full and free from the waist line. Full figures used skirts that are fitted about hiplines.
 Necklines ave dropped consider ably. It's true that highish neck lines are apt to make a face look younger, but they are not as com fortable in summer as low ones Look for deep V's, low squares and l slich

 There's a lot more to a roast than the cooking. Have you table control over that delicately Drowned chicken? If not, consult your local hardware salesman about the new roast clasp which enables young heads of the house to carve rather than hack the meat to pieces. This gadget looks not unlike a pair of ice tongs finished in polished chromium. It is held with either left or right hand and keeps the chicken or ham or leg of lamb fast in its grip while you make your social position secure as a nifty carver.
 For supper parties, and in fact for all summer dining in a cottage built for two, the new Mitla pottery is something any bride vii love. It comes from the state of Oaxaca in Mexico in tan and blue and other handsome color combinations. There are Mexican napkins to go with 1t in woven cloth with Aztec bird symbols on the napkin. For colorful modern dinners, this new vogue of southwest china is the brides answer.

One couple detached itself from the line
before the Kwamce's booth and came over to
the Chinook's ticket seller. Others followed.
There was rush for the Chinook.
Captain Lovett, smiling grimly. hoped onto
his ferry again and ran nimbly up the ladder
to the wheelhouse. A moment later blast
sounded from his whistle. Lowering the win
dow, he leaned out and grinned over at the
Kwanioe. She was casting off, with half her
usual load. Old Captain Crenshaw, his face
like wooden Indians, tugged at his siren
cord and set the telegraph to Half Astern.
Cars still rlmbled over the apron and into
the dim reoesses of the Chinook. Passengers
came aboard in a steady stream. 1t was not
until five minutes later that the whistle whooed
and the ship plowed out of the slip in the wake
of the other.
The Kwanice had just made her turn around
when the old double-ender pulled abreast,
going her full ten knots. Black smoke billowed
from the Chinook's prim stack and plume of
steam escaped from her valve. The crowd
aboard the Chinook had its reward. The

Arms Embargo

He berates national seclusion, either in this country or abroad, and insists flush trade is the only way of saving such hardbitten nation as Germany from war. He never, of course, specifically mentions Germany.
 Yet when committee member asked Hull if he wasn't trying to junk the mandatory arms embargo act because it might hinder his trade negotiations. the Secretary called the idea the invention of some trouble maker"
 That may be so, but nevertheless a Senate Resolution has appeared junking the mandatory embargo and giving the President the right to say when the United States will embargo arms, ammunition, implements of war and an addi- tional category known as ...commo- dities of war" which could include such important items as copper, steel, cotton, fuel and even major food items.
