Accident Occurs During Furious Fire of Two
 Fighting Nations

SHANGHAI, Aug. 2U.-One Unit ed States sailor, Freddie Faglgout. of Raceland, Florida, was killed and eighteen others were injured, none seriously, when an anti-aircraft shell, of undetermined origin. struck the after well of the deck of the cruiser Augusta, flagship of the American Asiatic fleet today.

 Shell Plunge
 The shell plunged from a high angle, hitting the deck of the cruis- er..
 Both the Japanese and Chinese artillery and anti-aircraft batteries were firing furiously when the shell struck. shortly before three big shells, believed to come from Chin csc guns, concealed on the root tops in the Northern Chapel area, plunged into the river close to the Augusta.
 Ordered to Shelter
 The crew of 800 officers and men were immediately ordered to shell ter below decks following the burst ing of the shell as it was not known if others would hit the cruiser.
 The one-inch projectile fell while most of the officers and crew were at lunch, otherwise the casualties probably would have been greater.
 The Augusta is a $500 ton craft and valued at $l0,000,000

So your dinner dates a fizzle, Dot, because you can't pronounce simple words in the menu.
 Why not learn? You have to be sure only of the more important menu terms to get along-and they're easy to remember.
 Tricky hors d'oeuvreS you pro- nounce or DERvr, not hor DOOVz. Canapes are kanaPAYS, not ka- NAPES; caviar is kaviAR, not KAHviar.
 Another good point to know is to sound the "t" in fillet of sole-pro- nounce it FILlet. But do not sound the "t" in filet mignon- for FEElay MEENyon, not FILlet MIN yum.
 As for plain English words, watch them, too. Scalloped potatoes are SKOLLopt, not SKALopt. Give three syllables to CHOC-o-late; don't say CHAWKlut,
 Our 32-page booklet tells the right way to say the 45O words most often mispronounced, words you use in everyday social and business life.

persons to take precautions against injecting others with whom they come into everyday contact. Edu- cation of the public about the nature and course of syphilis tends to in- sure more thorough treatment; and adequate treatment, whether by the old fashioned. method or by reme- dies recently introduced, certainly tends to shorten the period of ln- fectiousneSS in any case.
 Tuberculosis is yielding to public enlightenment about the nature and course of the disease. But the fight against tuberculosis has had to overcome merely ignorance. The fight against syphilis must over come a more formidable obstacle, namely moral bigotry, the narrow virtue that would regard syphilis as the wages of sin, the sins of the father being visited upon the chil- dren or a loathesome penalty of H. centiousness, and that needless of the fact that syphilis is medical and sanitary problem without the slightest bearing on sexual moral ity or immortality in hundreds or thousand of cases.
 In the preface of a forward look ing book published a generation ago for lay readers appeared this prophecy:
 "By an appeal to those who can read the newspapers intelligently and remember a little of their high school physiology, an immense body of interested citizens can be added to the forces of a modern campaign against the third great plague. For such an awakening of public opi1a- ion and such movement for wider cooperation, the times are ready" (The Third Great Plague, by John H. Stokes, A.B., M.Do
 I was inspired by that, and other utterances of a similar character, to appeal to newspaper readers to re- gard syphilis as medical and sanl- tary problem and to cease thinking of it as the wages of sin or as 8 badge of immortality or as 8 punish ment visited upon the second and third generation. I soon found that the prophecy was inaccurate. The times were not quite ready. News paper readers-that means every body. of course-were not then deemed capable of understanding such things, I learned. If, as be-. lieve, this presages a more liberal view of the syphilis problem by the press and the public. then the "third great plague of our times (tuberculosis is one, cancer an- other) can and will be plotted out.

M4nac II to not approve of un- loading family problems on chil- dren who are incapable of under standing, there is another angle to it that calls for attention.
 Too often, the children live one life and their parents another. There is no community of ideas, and as result the children learn to look upon their parents as mere background for supplies and com fort. .,.s.,.s...
 How few boys are aware of a fathers struggle to provide, the daily effort and endurance to pay rent and buy groceries. How few girls are conscious of their mothers responsibilities and worry. It has become one of our national fail- ures, indeed. this separating of the two camps into opposed forces. !.
 There is nobody to blame except parents themselves. And in a way they are not to be blamed, either, because they are partially com- pelled to follow social trends and the pull of the world. $.
 However, as a champion of the home first, and educational and of- ganized forces next, I believe that it is time to turn the attention of the growing child more definitely to his home, and to his parents. q

-l8HsAUG&' '''' Glorwng
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

This is the season to use special makeup with each costume; to own a cosmetic wardrobe. One powder, one lip rouge, one set of eye make up won't do any longer. It's a sea- son to go in for artistic, intricate effects, then, on certain days, to startle your friends by wearing lip- stick and nothing else! It's 8 year when anything goes except cosmetic monotony.
 With hoop skirts and bouffant evening ,wns, try light, clear pink rouge, light red, healthy looking lipstick, powder one shade lighter than our compelxion. Apply eye shadow and mascara ever so spar ingly. Powder shoulders and back carefully. See that hands are smooth and pearly white. Keep your head high, back of the neck straight so your chin line will be smooth, throat swan-like and graceful.
 With exotic stripes or sophisti- cated gowns, cut on pencil-slim lines consider warmer powder, darker rouge and lipstick, something to make your hair glisten, vivid nail lacquer. Wear a dramatic perfume. Don't try to look Spanish unless you really are that type, but keep the idea in mind. Be dazzling!
 With suits and the new, ever-so- simple street ensembles, affect a youthful, natural makeup. Powder to match skin tones, lipstick and rouge to harmonize with blood tones. Apply all carefully, striving for a healthy, blooming appearance.
 Brush and brush and brush your hair to make it shiny and healthy. Meticulously clean and stimulate skin so it will be smooth and clear, soft and lovely. Stand tall with chest high, stomach in, back straight and hips carried forward. Whether you dress like southern belle or young modern, good pos ture and daintiness really count
 Lay in a supply of deodorants, use a depilatory or a razor regularly to remove superfiuous hair on legs and under arms, keep gloves and white lingerie neckwear scrupulously clean clothes pressed. Get into the habit of brushing your hat when you take it of and again before you put it on.
 Don't go around, even for half day, with clipped nail polish, an untidy coiffure. The moment nail lacquer starts to peel, remove the entire coat and put on a fresh one.
 NEXT: Dressing in perfect taste.

ways at hand. He wants to keep his affairs very secret, so afraid Is he of losing their respect.
 How wrong this is. We don't give enough credit. to the growing boy or girl. It is unfair to these young people not to lay our cards on the table and honestly show them how things stand.
 That College Problem
 Now it is spring. Arrangements are being made for college next fall. In many cases parents are lying awake nights and planning how they can mortgage or sell something to give John and Mary their chance. Fl. -'-,lSsF
 A year at home between high school and college might be, the better answer. A year in which John might be able to help his father and learn to know him, and how he has to work and worry. A year in which Mary might learn few things not only about her mother, but with her, and get an inside view of re- sponsible housekeeping.
 Isn't a year at home, after all, as much a part of life's education and preparation as any that the schools can give? .'.
 Growing children should know something of family affairs, have a vote in policy and undertake their bit of the load. But the old CT boy or girl should do more. He should learn to value parents first of ali, and enrich his life by something that books and the whole world of youth cannot possibly give him. .::,S Copyright. 1887, NEA Service. Inco

Victims Of Lung Diseases Are Not
 Immune To Subsequent Attacks

season of bad weather, and if 1t is possible to send him for this period to a warm area of the country, it is wise to do so. Outdoor play and exercise help develop a child'S lungs.
 More important than exercise, however, is an adequate amount of rest at suitable intervals. In build ing up resistance, short rest pe- riod after luncheon at noon and 10 to 12 hours rest in bed at night are of the greatest importance.
 For a while it was thought that vaccines consisting of a preparation of killed pneumonia germs would be important in helping build up re- sistance to this disease. If the dis ease itself does not bring about per- manent resistance, however, there does not seem to be any real req son why such vaccine would be any more beneficial. Authorities do not consider the evidence in support of anti-pneumonia vaccine sufficient at this time to warrant general recommendation of 1t.
 Anything which tends to reduce a persons vitality seems to pre-dis~ pose him to pneumonia. Dissipation that involves excess burning up of the body energy, loss of sleep, over work, worry, under-nourishment over indulgence in alcohol, frequent colds, and excesses of any kind are factors which help lessen vitality.
 The use of overloaded rooms, the injurious effects of excessively dry and warm air and the use of 8 bedroom without, adequate ven- tilation, also are listed as factors which tend to break down lung

While he was out the curtain caught fire, panic followed, and 500 people perished.

 With most diseases, such as scar let fever, diphtheria, or measles, a person who once has had one of them is likely thereafter to be re- Eistant to it and not to have sec- Ond attack. Unfortunately, diseases that affect the lungs do not seem to leave victims with permanent resistance.
 Indeed, ailments such as influ- enza, pneumonia, and bronchitis seem to produce condition that is much more likely to result in second attack. Many people have these diseases several times.
 The best way to prevent pneu- 1nonia is to do everything possible to build up the general resistance of the person concerned. This in- wolves, first of all, avoiding expos ure to indictment weather, such as severe cold, dampness, snow, and drafts. Next, plenty of nourishing food should be eaten. This means not only the right amount of pro- tein food without too much of the sugars, but particularly plenty of leafy, green vegetables containing vitamins A. B. c, and D.
 Vitamins A and D are found largely in cod liver oil and in halibut liver oil; Vitamin c in orange juice; Vitamin B in the whole grain cereals, fresh vegeta- bles, and yeast. If a child gets ade- quate amounts of these vitamins in his diet and receives, in addition, some cod liver oil or halibut liver oil, his vitamin requirements will be provided for. The child should take also, If possible, from three-fourths of 8 quart to quart of milk each day. Milk. the most nearly perfect food, should be supplemented chief ly by vitamins c and D and by iron.

 If syphilis were a venereal disease only, its prevention might well be left to education which influences conduct and morals. But it would be barbarous to shut our eyes and our ears to the truth that hundreds of thousands of innocent victims of syphilis might be saved, can be saved by a more enlightened atti- tude on the part of the public.
