MODERN GIFTS DIFFER FROM
 0LDEN DAYS

Shades of lavender and old lacel We have paced long mile down the road of convention since the days of mustache cups and sachet gifts. A gentleman's intentions were questioned a few decades ago if he gave his light olove anything more intimate than a lace-edged hankie. trimmed lingerie is more in keeping with 1937's design for giving!
 That creaking sound is great great-grandmother turning over in her grave as today's young moderns accept such boudoir necessities as bath salts, dusting powders and dar- lingly scented colognes. Lounging robes and pajamas are welcomed by wives, sweethearts and mothers without the flicker of an outraged eyelash. No smelling salts is required to revive the feminine recipient of box of hosiery nowadays.
 Scents for Moods
 Contrary to yesterdays gift-giv- ing etiquette, the smart man will select some bit of feminine froth that is completely and utterly wear able if he courts favor in his lady's eyes, especially, if she's radiantly young and extravagant. If she's on the careless side of thirty, give her two perfumes-a refreshing scent for her discreet moments and pro- vocative one for her reckless moods. For the woman who lives with a lit for today, there is superb subtlety in gift of jewelry. A simple little gadget in diamonds and emeralds will put a receptive sparkle in her eye. Bachelors, be- ware of a twinkler for the left hand unless you're altar -boundD

 Smartly designed luggage, as new as next seasons hat, will tickle the fancy of the voyageur when the spirit of wanderlust tickles her toes. She will bless you in Carlo and breathe a silent prayer for you in Versailles for such a thoughtful and constant reminder.
 Rouge is Vital
 It's your masculine duty to put a tinge of spice in the life of the lady of uncertain years. A negligee or tea gown will do the trick, but it must be fine as gossamer and soft as an echo to make her feel frivolous and youthful.

 Toy Showers
 What could be lovelier for the infant that has been "showered" with toys and clothing than a fine oil and body sachet for his tender skin, and pasteurized milk powder to soften his bath water, all three bottles in a pale blue box patterned with babies and bubbles?
 Miss Modern will love compacts. runproof mascara or luSciously tint ed lipStick in sleek containers, face powder in her favorite brand, new manicure set, a weekend case that holds every essential for 1 beauty care.
 Mother will enjoy (along with daughter) bath luxuries, ing e items or combinations of soap, es- sence and body powder or cologne. A rich throat cream, pick-me-up mask cream, a softening lotion for her hands are other suggestions. Satin Sachets
 Most grandmothers of today like the same sort of gifts you choose for their daughters-if yours hap pens to be sit-by -the-fire darling, choose for her the exquisite satin sachets or the fragrant pomander balls that will bring back sweet memories of other days.
 Father, grandfather and the boy friend, when it comes right down to it, like a bit of scent-if it's definitely masculine.

Mrs. Highsmith Says That Com
plete Physical Examinations
Should Be Required.
(Special To The POSt)

Raleigh, Nov. 7.-North Cardinals
lack of an adequate marriage law,
the Importance of such a law, and
the declaration that an effort will
be made to have one enacted by
the next general assembly, as a VI
tai part of the states war on We
nereal diseas S, are emphasized in
a statement by Mrs. J. Henry H gh-
smith, assistant director of health
education, State Board of Health.
Mrs. Highsmith says NORTH Car
Dina has practically no laws for
safeguarding marriages and the be-
ginning of the home. On the stat
ute books are two laws, neither of
which as it operates today is worth
the effort to enforce it. This is the
opinion of one register of deeds who
says that the present marriage law
which requires the male applicant
for a marriage license to sign an
affidavit saying that he has no active
tuberculosis or a venereal disease,
and has not had FOR two ytars prior
thereto, is totally Intellectual THIS
law is an alternative to prior law
which required a health Certificate
from the groom in order to obtain
a marriage license. Neither law re-
quires anything of the prospective
bride-not even a written statement
to the effect that she has no tuber-
culosis or a venereal disease in the
active stage.
20,0OO Syphilitic Children
"But has not the time come when
North Carolina can and will take
steps to protect its children from
the ravages of venereal disease? 1t
is estimated that there are 10000
children under fifteen years of age
in North Carolina today who have
syphilis inherited from infected
and neglectful parents. And yet
this large number is not the whole
story. Only about 43 percent of
Syhilitic babies live to reach ten
years of age. Therefore, it is safe
to say that at least 10000 other ba-
bies were born syph;litic but died in
infancy or early childhood.
when it is known that children
inherit blindness, feeble-mindness,
insanity, susceptibility to disease
and premature death from syph:l-
itic parents, and when is is further
known that 80 per cent of these
tragedies could be prevented
through an enforced law requiring
ae Wassermann test of both man and
women before marriage and anoth-
er law requiring the proper treat
ment of expectant mothers show
ing positive blood test, does it
not see that public opinion would
demand this protection for inno-
cent, helpless children?
Fortunately, there is growing
sentiment today in behalf of these
measures. A poll conducted recent
ly by the American Institute OF
Public Opinion found that 90 per
