YOungSter
Can Avoid
Poor Skin
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

CLANDULAR readjustments may be
part of the growing-up process,
but blackheads, acne, pimples are not
"have-to-be's That's old fashioned
as the notion that you can't escape
the measles.
The average healthy, normal young
girl Of high school age is shining
example OF physical perfection. From
babyhood she is taught the important
rules OF cleanliness and personal
hygiene, the importance of the bath,
proper diet, rest, open-air exercise,
drinking water. There's your founda-
ton for the clear skin. And there's
the reason why less and less young
people have embarrassing skins.
The average healthy, normal young
G1rl does not need complicated beauty
treatments. But her mother allows
her a little more freedom with beauty
aids So that there is no pinch-penny
saving and buying of inferior cos
metics on the "q.t." Instead. mother
selects daughters beauty aids. and
they're the finest money can buy.
Daughter is taught one rule above
all others and that is cleanliness.
Makeup must be removed before re-
firing If makeup is used. If the skin
Is oily it is cleansed with complexion
brush and a pure bland soap, rinsed
thoroughly, cold water dashed over it
as the last rinsing. Then mild tonic
Is used. That treatment keeps the
oily skin pretty well controlled. Re-
member that this type is the favorite
parking place for blackheads and
pimples. At the first sign Of black
heads treat them scientifically. Try
to extract them very carefully and
gently with tissues over the fingertips
(and the hands scrubbed as clean and
carefully as a doctor scrubs his). If
the blackheads are stubborn heat q
little olive oil and apply to throw the
pores open. Then try. If they still
won't give" leave them for another
day. It's fussing. fooling and lingering
with fingers that are not entirely clean
that make for permanent harm and
scars. An antiseptic lotion or ointment
or combination of both gently applied
to pimples may heal them and avoid
spreading. If this fails see reputable
dermatologist and follow instructions
to the letter An occasional minor
blemish is no major catastrophe. 1t
happens to every woman, young or old,
even to our "Helens Of Troy" You
can touch them with q stick that
covers the tell-tale spot magically-
until you can definitely correct.

Rites" outlines the daily beauty
routine for young girls Of high school
and college age. Send self-addressed,

Manners
of the
Moment
COME people can't seem to put their
hands on ladder without juggling

COME people can't seem to put their
hands on ladder without juggling
it.
We once heard a story about some
workmen in an insane asylum. They
were sane workmen, working on lad
ders. And the inmates had to march
through the room where they were
working. The march was perfectly
orderly for about seconds, and then
a. though at q signal, the asylum boys
and girls made rush at the ladders
and knocked them all down.
And, of course, they laughed.
That's the way the allegedly sane
ladder jigglers act. They litter and
laugh, and then give the ladder a
jiggle. And there's nothing they
seem to love better than to get the
man on the top Of the ladder into a
completely maddened dither
Personally, we think there's some
thing of the ladder jiggler in every
one. And we wouldn't trust a soul,
not even our mother, to hold a ladder
we were standing on. Wed rather
prop it up with chairs. And when any
one asks us to hold ladder for them
we always warn them. Don't you
know I'm ladder jiggler?" We ask
them. And usually they give up.
In short, ladder climbing is q thing
to be avoided as much rs possible,
and to be done In complete solitude
when 1t really has to be done. That's
our theory, and we're sticking to 1t.

~ YER the line into September,
and what rush starts for
Fall suits and casual coats
During such a rainy season
as We have just experienced there is
much rummaging around among the
darker clothes in ones closet to find
something suitable to wear, and a
feeling of unpreparedness assails many
Of us.
The casual coat is usually the first
answer, and the need for Fall suit
follows almost Immediately. What
silhouette is newest in coats this sea-
son? It is the absolutely straight, mar
row line, and it is said to be one Of
the easiest types to wear. 1t will add
inches to the height Of the shorter girl
and she will love it.
The narrower redingote or princess
line, while not the newest, is by far
the most flattering thing you could
possibly choose. It is being widely
shown and may be fur trimmed or un-
trimmed to wear with colored scarfs or
separate fur pieces. These coats are
snugly fitted through the waist, but
as often as not, have a belt that may
be worn if desired Persian trims
have never been smarter than at the
present moment Fur bands take to
both vertical and horizontal lines and
are frequently used to trim the entire
surface of sleeves.
In fact, fur sleeves with matching
fur collar is one Of the extremely in
teresting vogues for some of the higher
priced three-piece suits and dressy
coats. We found such a one done
in novelty brown mixture with
sleeves and collar of beaver that had
lots Of snap and smart style in it.

Essential
That Child
Be Alone
He Must Test His Own
Powers in Order to
Grow Properly.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THAT woman never does a thing
for that child. Just puts him
out there in the yard with his things
and leaves him there. I couldn't do
such thing I hurry through my
work and take him out for a walk,
and sit with him when he plays
couldn't be easy if he was out of my
sight. But she doesn't seem to care.
think it's awful to neglect a child
go
If more mothers gave their children
little wholesome neglect the children
would be physically and mentally in
better health. A child does not need
constant attendance unless he is sick,
and even then, he needs letting alone
In great stretches. The child who
is healthy is active, and he needs to
be allowed to follow his own scheme
for living without the interference
Of grown-up people.
A child of two years should be able
to play by himself in safe place
alone, or with other children, for
about two hours at time. He needs
clean, safe, inclosed place for play.
He needs some simple things. the SIM
pier the better for playthlngs. These
things ought to call for action, for
activity is the breath Of his life. A
child must do and keep doing in
order to grow. His doing must take
Its start from his own mind, and it
must be carried out in his own fash
Ion. so that his experiences are first
hand and personal to him.
When a mother or a teacher takes
child by the hand. leads him to
where he wants the child to go, sets
the program without considering the
ehild's wants or needs, follows the pro-
gram through to his own satisfaction
the parent or the teacher has had
flrst-hand experience with the child
but the child has had none of his
own as far as the activity, which Is
the root of the matter, is concerned
Imposed experience, imposed behavior,
does not belong to the one imposed
upon but to the commander Chill
dren grow only through their own
experience. They are strengthened
through the medium of their own
Initiative and their own creative labor
Is not the teacher or the mother
TO have anything to say about what
q child should do? Plenty, and they
say it all day and through the years
Flat is why 1t is so essential that
for some time in the day the child
should be let alone to apply what has
been taught him. to test out his own
powers. to feel his own way about.
Teachers and parents have to give
information, have to train children
into right habits Of work, self-con-
troll. service. They have to watch
over the child's growth and direct 1t.
They have to help in selecting the
experiences child should have But
there must come time in the day
when the child is left to work out
his own salvation
A iudicious letting alone Is essen
tial to the full development Of the
intelligent child

Dorothy Dix Says
Husbands and Wives All Have Excuses.
What Is Your Alibi?

A MAN never understands why, after
marriage, woman isn't satisfied
to settle down and take marriage for
granted. He doesn't understand why
women are so set on sentimental
twaddle and want to be treated as
brides even after they get fat and 40
and the mothers of large families, and
why they put more emphasis on words
than deeds.
A man never understands why his
wife should ever want more out OF
life than just being married to him,
nor why she ever wants any diversion
and working about IA hours a day for
her board and clothes.
A man can't understand why his
wife gets green-eyed If he pays atten-
ton to little flapper or takes his
pretty stenographer out to lunch. He
can't understand for the life of him
why she isn't willing to forgive and
forget all Of his infidelities when he
gets tired of roaming and comes back
home.
A man never understands why
women cry when they are glad. Why
they go out and buy something to
celebrate a happiness or console them
in sorrow. Why they put such an
inordinate value on love- Why they
are so hungry for compliments And,
most Of all, why so few of them find
out how to work their husbands.
No. the sexes never understand each
other. They always keep each other
guessing. DOROTHY DIX.
