WOMAN,S REALM
EA4sliES1b -
 Your Chihrgn
By Olive Roberts Barton

You may have heard the new de- flnition for a pedestrian, ''The man who has one car and two children
 But I know many father with only one son who walks. And SC do we all. 2
 However, we don't take sides in family arguments today, and decide other peoples business for them Instead, let us look into the ability of young people to drive. Are they or are they not qualified to get out in the murderous stream and triumph?
 On the whole, yes. The greatest hazard to any driver is nerves. The greatest advantage, a cool head and sharp eyes. Youth has none of the first and therefore goodly share of the latter. There are no figures to prove that more than the average number of accidents are due to lack of years.
 Things to Watch
 On the other hand, there are some things that parents themselves are responsible for. These need close scrutiny. r
 One is the penchant of youth to want company, much company Come on, fellows, and you girls too. Always room for one more,' , says William, after school. Lets go to Scrappy's out the road and get a sundae."
 As a result the car built for five is likely to have ten passengers They hang on the, step, sit on the drivers lap, and behave in general like a tangle of fishing worms.
 Such a cargo is g danger to the road and to itself. It should be stopped by the first cop and order ed home on its skates. - Another hazard is shouting and singing in car, loaded or not. Nc driver, old or young, can give hi; whole attention to the road with others screaming in his ear.
 The third is night driving. This is not to be laid at the door of the young driver, but rather to the tendency of others who may, or may not, have had cup too much. Ano if anything happens there is more than an even chance that the boy of sixteen will get the blame, wheth- CT it is his or not.
 The boy or girl who drives care- .lessly and has something happen every day, a bent guard, a dented fender, a joke about traffic light he did not heed, should be made to forefeit his privilege while there is yet time. This is where the parents responsibility comes in.
 Let him drive as long as he re- spects orders. No crowds. No noise And no late hours. Watch his re- actions to road etiquette. If he tries to beat the law, glories in close shavess and possesses the psycho- logy of the road hog, take the car away and keep it away. Let him be the pedesterian. Let him walk and like it. '...

to have control of things.
 A third item is taken from an Oklahoma paper. Scarehead says Neglected Dog Bite Kills Girl" Item says ten year old girl com plained on a Monday that she was not feeling well, but as 1t was four weeks since her pet Spitz had in- fected 8 slight wound over her left eye, no attention was paid to her complaint. Thursday night. she said her neck hurt and she felt faint and nervous. A doctor saw. her late at night and finally had. her admitted to hospital at a. m., but the child died an hour later. She died from rabies, the newspaper item implies. The Lord knows what the child died of, certainly no physician can tell positively and no pathologist can determine whether an illness or death is caused |. by rabies, for the simple reason that there is no known specific test. In my opinion the indications in at least some such cases point rather to strychnine poisoning or to tetanus (lockjaw), This child's older brother was bitten on the foot by the same dog the same day, but he immediately applied tincture of iodin to his scratch or wound and suffered no i'll effects, the news item says. It was the first rabies death in five years" Shucks, maybe 1t was the first in five hundred years

Alice is only an ac- Quaintance, while George is the most important person in the world -or at least he should be to Mary, his wife.
 A wife with the least bit of gall lantry in her heart would never think of telling hard working hus- band how she misses having her town money"
 She would play down Georges weaknesses and play up the quail ities that made him seem perfect before she took him for better or for worse.
 The friends of a gallant wife would be allowed to see her hus- band as an interesting man, not just Mary's husband, George. And in Mary's eye, George would still see the shining picture he saw there when he decided that without Mary around to appreciate" him, the world would be pretty poor sort of place. ..-

Handy at Weaving
New Hand Loom
 Puts Industry at Fingertips

Women may be spinning their own tea-table yarns if they adopt the loomless weaver devised by Mrs. Margaret Clark, wife of a Canadian newspaper man. A set of three hollow, three-inch celluloid tubes are threaded with a needle. When yarn from the skein is woven over and under the tubes, the rows are pushed down, and your sock or belt appears below as if by magic. At right, Mrs. Clark, who came to Amer ica from Hungary Is years ago, shows how it can be done without even looking. Below, she demonstrates the technique of this new sie;rht-of-hand,

 Newspaper clippings of items dealing with rabies, anonymously sent me from time to time, add to the conviction that rabies is a racket.
 One item from a midwest rural town says the county footed a rabies outbreak" bill of $4,410.7O for the year, comprising payment for treatment of 135 cases-caSes of what, one can only infer from the context. The item says there was one fatality from rabies infec- tion, and "the ensuing panic result ing from this death caused great amount of our expense. Not many of the 135 were actually bitten, but were treated because of well, to make tall story short, because of panic. But that $4,410.70 is only 8 drop in the bucket. Generally the people themselves pay for Pas teur treatment-unless they are paupers and seek 1t at public ex- pense. The physicians in the com- munity generally charge $50 for Pasteur treatment, the item says. So if 100 of the 135 victims of panic were treated by their own physi- clans, that would jump the cost im- mediately an additional $5,000.
 Another interesting item in the present collection of clippings is taken from an eastern paper. It is merely & notice like this (fictitipus names substituted for names given in item):
 Al Belts swing orchestra 7:15 Frantic search of Ohio'S State police for Ernest Warehaln after he had been bitten by mad dog will be dramatized at 7:30 p. m.-WKZ.
 No better way to propagate panic than by dramatizing the myth over the radio. It inoculates children and childminded adults even, more suc- cessfully than does the printing of ugly superstitions. One enthusiastic but inexperienced young health of- f1cer (of w. Va. county), reprov- ing me for my teachings, candidly explains "In w. Va. we have a hard time getting out local appropria- tionS sometimes I have never had a serious situation in regard to rabies but I have used other epi- denies to dramatize our work.

NEA SGgNACC 0vBD VVAASSA
 Realization of the fact that good many of the women whom you think of as being beauties really aren't at all should inspire you to figure out just what they have. what they do, how they react to various situations. The chances are ten to one that every woman who seems beautiful but actually is not has a sparkling personality and an animated face and a fairly nice dis- position.
 That an alive look, which comes from being healthy, pleasant ana interested in everything, is a thing of beauty is not surprising news, to be sure. The surprising fact is that more women, knowing this, do not trouble to wake up and live and therefore be lovlier to look at.
 If you aren't pleased with your- self or feel drab and look it, how about a bit of self-analySis? Sit alone in a room and answer few questions-out loud, please. Some of these, for example, and any others which are on your mind at the moment:
 What have I done during the past six months that was really fun, made me laugh heartily? Did any books or articles I read actll- ally stimulate my thinking, make me curious to know more about the subject? What did do (NOT what did SHE dol to spoil my friendly relationship with Mrs. So-and-So? Do listen when oth- CTS speak or do want to do all the talking myself? :, Then, too, solemn thought about personal appearance is in order every now and then. If you look drab you probably feel dull. Ask yourself these questions, too, and give some serious thought to the answers:
 Whatever happened to my hair- brush and why don't use 1t ev- cry night? Couldn't I walk half 8 mile and do three simple stretch- ing and limbering exercises . day if wanted to? Why have worn my hair the same way for ten years? How do I know this way is right if I never am willing to try any other? Are my hands rough because of the work I do or be- cause I simply won't bother to oil or cream them regularly?
 Add to the questionnaire if you like. This beauty game can go on an entire evening. And, if played at least once year, will do more to improve you, mentally and physically, than you perhaps think. Once you are honest with yourself, your chances of appear ing beautiful even when you are not, increase greatly.

Hartford, Conn.,, June 22.-CUP) - Bob Teller will return to the mound within a day or so to test his "mil- lion dollar" arm, which recently de- veloped soerness, according to Man. ager Steve O'Neill of the Cleveland Indians.
 Teller was scheduled to pitch in an exhibition game here late yester- day but rain washed out the show.
 My arm has been feeling good for more than two weeks," Teller said, "and seemed stronger every day. have felt no soreness while working out and expect to have no more trouble"
 O'Neill said he would use Teller to finish a game during the current Washington series or the next series with the Philadelphia Athletics.
 "We are not worrying about any soreness in his arm," he said, "but want to be sure that his arm is strong enough to pitch a full game before we send him in to start"

Reb Russell of White Sox Blanked Browns With But
 Two Hits, 2 too
(This is the best individual pitching

-BY BRACE E. JARRETT=

(This is the best individual pitching
 feat for June 22)
 June g, 1916, at St. Louis
 "Reb" Russells gave the Browns just two inconsequential hits, which, combined with perfect support on the part of his teammates, gave him the verdict over George Sisler, 2 to 0.
 Just Twenty-nine of Fielder Jones' Brownies faced "Reb." With the exception of one base on balls, the extent of the Browns attack on Russell was confined to Pep" Austin's double and Doc" Lavan'S single, all three widely separated.
 George Harold Sisler opposed Russell on the mound and pitched wonderful ball himself, allowing Pants" Rowland's Sox only six hits, but he was unforunatte in that a big part of them were punched in the. 7th and 9th innings, for one run in each of these stanzas.
 Fournier doubled in the 7th and scored on Pratt's tumble of Schalk's $ grounder. The only earned run oil Sisler came in the 9th, when Felsch singled, took second on Weaver's sacrifice, and scored when Eddie Collins Smacked one safe. NOTE: On this date in 1882 Carl Hubbell, of the Giants, sgavs the Cards but two hits also. not another reaching base of him. and beat them g to 1. However. Russell's per formance is the better, as Hubbell allowed 8 score, one of the two hits he gave being home run.

tunited Press Stan Correspondent,

Chicago, June 22.-CUP)-Armed with a mad dog and an Englishman I went out into the noon-day sur today to talk to the famed man ir the street" and get his opinion oi the Braddock-Louis fight tonight.
 All my life I had read about the man in the street" and was very anxious to make the acquaintance of the gentleman whose thoughts carry such weight with the editorial writers. This same man can stay in the house, the pocl room, the barn, or the solarium, an6 his opinion isn't worth a darn. But just let him wander out into the street and he automatically become; a powerful influence.
 It was blistering hot in Chicago; loop when the mad dog, the Eng. lishman, and I started our search We wasted no time after leaving the hotel, but plunged directly into the street. This cost us the Eng lishman. A heavy sedan hitting him amidships as he leaned down tc button Spat.
 Undismayed, the dog and plunged on, but we had not covered half a block before realized thai unless I got rid of the mad dog there wouldn't be any man in the street." One glimpse of the dog anc afl the men in the street gave yowl> of fright and took the cover.
