GIoriting Yourself
By Alicia Hart
MIA Servlce StaN Writer

Everyone wants to keep her iden- tity-be individual and such-but the truly smart woman never tries to be so frightfully different that all eyes turn her way when she walks down the street. And she never mistakes being individual for clinging to a fashion until it is considered Old- fashioned.
 For instance, one can't very well turn 8 cold shoulder on new hair trends, regardless of how fattering her ten-year-old, colnbed straight down, face e-hugging bob used to be. Wearing the same old hairdreSs when all the world has turned to brushed upward from the neck and ears and backward from the face effects, stamps one as has-been rather than a definitely individual looking person.
 Besides, refusing to climb on the band wagon, as far as beauty and fashion go, anyway, gives you @ less bouyant feeling than everyone should have at this particular season of the year. Maybe you did like longer skirts, but try going down the street in 8 very long one these days and notice your reactions. You don't necessarily have to wear extremely short dresses, but they simply have to be shorter than they were three years ago.
 Even though she feels that too many people wear too much black, the girl who always has chosen colored silks and wools for fall may be surprised at what one black dress will do for her appearance, not to mention her oplion of herself.
 Those who care somehow man. age always to keep up with things. They read beauty columns, fashion stories, Q variety of women's maga- zines and the woman's page of their favorite newspaper. They know what is being worn by the women who set the styles of the world. They as the old adage advises-are not the first to try the new, yet they never are the last to try the new. They stay in tune with the mode.

Your Children
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

could not tell exactly why, because he was used to these complaints He knew that Peggy had hard time, but now the children were irritating him in a manner that he could not explain.
 We, who read, can understand but there is nothing harder than tc put a finger on causes for irritation right in our own family circle.
 In Johns family, the trouble was chronic complaint, distrust and sourness against the world. It was injecting him. It was reacting or his business life. No good word about anybody. No bright outlook, but in- stead this nightly pulling down oi vision and hope. Fathers are not exempt, because wives have as much to contend with along these lines as husbands. Better for everybody tc cheer up and encourage each other Copyright, 1887, NEA Service, Incl

tributed by the mother who gave birth to the three filters of black guinea-pigs was not her own, but that of the ovary that had been grafted into her body from the young black guinea-pig. So we must conclude that the blaclness of those six little guinea-pigs born to the albino parents was inherited from the black mother-by-proxy, the pig whose ovarier were grafted into the albino that bore the black offspring. Offspring? Well, they were not really her offspring at all, just be- cause she bore them. Biologically speaking, those six little black pigs were no more the children, off, spring, heirs or descendants of the albino that gave birth to them than a white infant is of the ncgress who serves as wet nurse and nanny for the child.
 Indeed, Prof. Castle has intro duced a vexatious problem into the whole science of genetics. Trans plantation of an ovary or . portion of an ovary from one woman to all- other is not only possible but has been done many times. Who shall say how loug such transplanted ovarian tissue survives or whether 1t may continue to function for 8 considerable period after trans- plantation? Assuming 8 portion of ovary continues to function after transplantation, who shall judge the maternity of a child subsequently, born to the host of the Cngratted ovary?
 The germ-cells (ovum or egg cell and spermatazoon or fertiliZing element), from whose union or fusion the embryo grows, are only guests in the body, so to speak, and not members of the household. They fulfill only one function-they carry on the race. Since they are not produced by the body cells but only by the fertilized egg-cell, they cannot transmit body-mod difications, acquired characters. That's our story concerning the six little black guinea pigs and until some geneti- cist or eugenist devises a more plausible one we're going to stick to it. Later we shall revert to the Six Black Pigs and their Pure White Parents, but meanwhile don't de- duct that acquired characters are not inherited. We believe they are inherited more or less-more from the grandparents and great grand parents than from the parents. Then, of course, the legend of tho hrowback--black infant born to ap- parently white parents - bears closer scrutiny.
 AStigmatism
 Is astigmatism hereditary or &C., quired. If acquired, how? Is 1t cur- able? (M. W. R.)
 Answer-It is more or less univer- sal. Only a minority who have 1t are conscious of any fault of vision.\ Iron &
 Please tell me if such foods as spinach, cabbage, sauerkraut, grape juice contain enough iron to supply the needs of the body? Also iodine. co. M. J0
 Answer-All the items except grape juice are good sources of iron, but egg yolk is better. None of the items mentioned would supply suf- ficient iodin, as rule, unless grown in soil known to be rich in iodin. Foods from the sea-oysterS, clans, lobster, sea fish. salmon, codfish, etc., are the best source of iodin. Copyright 937, John F. Dille Col

Journal of the American e M edical Association, and of z Hygia, the Health Magazine. 2 Your skin Is living tissue--not Just an envelope on the outside of your body. The skin has, indeed, been called the mirror of the body because many of the conditions which affect the human being as a whole have symptoms rel"'"'l "a "" sin as one of the signs that there Is something wrong.
 Tn the skin are the nerve end- ings which make us aware of the sensations of cold or of warmth and which let us know when something from outside is touching the body. ! The skin of @ grown-up person weighs about six pounds. If spread out flat on the ground, 1t would cover an area of about l6 to 20 square feet. The blood vessels In the lowest layers of the skin run in waves or little hills. These are responsible for the ridges on the palms of the hands or the tips of the fingers. No two human beings have these ridges in exactly the same form.
 Som forms of skin disease are quite definitely hereditary. Color Of the skin IS dependent largely on inheritance and to some extent on the amount of blood in the vessels beneath the skin. If for any reason these blood vessels contract so that they do not contain the normal amount of blood, the person looks pale.

 CHARACTERS
 Pertaining to the question of the relative influence of heredity and environment upon the individuals character, an experiment described by Castle is interesting, (Genetics and EUgenicS, by Prof. w. E. Castle, Harvard, Harvard Univer- sity Prass)-Prof. Castle and Dr. John c. Phillips removed the ovaries from an albino guinea-pig just at- taining maturity, and grafted into the guinea pigs body other ovaries obtained from young black guinea pig aged three weeks, not yet sexu- ally mature.
 The grafted animal was then mated with a male albino. Now 1t Is the invariable rule that albinC guinea-pigs produce only albinc young. But this albino produced by the albino male three filters oi young, six individuals in all, and all of her young were black.
 In the second article of this series on heredity we said: 'The proto- plasm of the -cells-the re- productive or parent cells, the ovum or egg and the spermatazoon or male fertilizing element-is immor- tai, as proved by the survival of the race" The ovum or egg-cell con-
