the middle of the day be allowed to
permit children to go to their home
for their monday meal.

cent meeting held with the teachers
of the elementary schools who are
members of the club, to discuss Of
fering junior membership in the club
to school children, with dues of 10c
per year. Mr.. Anderson explained that
this did not mean that children
would come to the twelve meetings,
but that instead he himself would
conduct or arrange for the junior club
members to have a field trip properly
conducted once month, in order that
the junior members might know birds
at first hand. rather than know about
birds. He also told of an enthusiastic
response to this on the part of the
children of West End school, when
he spoke to them last Friday morn
ing.

Paris Sty.ss
By MARY FENTRESS

Limited Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris (UP)-One of the big fash ion houses here has created a sum- mer wardrobe for the woman who plans to pass her vacation motoring. The essential point of this ward robe is that the clothes can be fold- ed and packed into a small space and they will not wrinkle or crush.
 The biggest item, naturally, is the heavy top coat which can be worn when driving in chilly weather or can be used as a rug. It is of plaid tweed made with loose, easy sleeves and tailored revers and collar that can be turned up. It is full and loose and can be worn with or without a belt. For warmer weather, there is the old-fashioned linen duster gone modern. It likewise is in plaid and is fashioned of uncrushable linen. Made of uncrushable linen. Made like full swagger coat, the duSter is smart as well as being practical protection against dust and dirt.
 A divided skirt of lightweight wool practical for cool days with a matching suede jacket which fas- tens with a zipper from the fitted waist to the high neck, which is finished with a small turA-over col- lar. This costume is worn with . variety of knitted sweaters. The same sort of costume can be made in dark linen of pique print with

.BEAUTx---'''-.'.''-..''''- Gl0riMng Yourself
 Rv Alicia, Hart
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Wrietr

Summer dresses should fit as perfectly as your winter suits and woolen frocks, be worn with care- fully chosen accessories and over underwear that is smooth and trim. There's not much sense in exercising and diieting until your figure is slender. and lovely if you are going to cover it up with a badly fitted girdle and; a slip which gets twisted when you walk and makes wrinkles here and there un- der your dress.
 With the exception of equisitely proportioned girls who wear sizes 12 or IA, everyone requires some kind of foundation garment. Ex- perts agree that all-in-ones are best for very large figures and that simple little girdles, made of two way stretch elastic fabrics and without bones, are for the slender. Remember, of course, that an unnecessarily tight corset is just as. bad as a. loose one wi1cih off, fers no support at all. The ideal procedure is to go to a reliable corset department and be meas ured, and advised. Incidentally the more 9 foundatoin garment is washed, the better it fits and the longer it wears.
 Buy slips that are the right size and you won't have to worry about sliding shoulder straps or wrinkflles under, your dresses. If you do not have to wear girdle get a garter belt for stocking sup port. Round garters are likely to spoil the shape of the legs just above the knee and they do not keep the stockings as straight and smooth as regular supporters.
 Stockings whcih are too large never look sleek and trim. Neither do they make for foot comfort Too short ones are apt to be even more uncomfortable and look just as un- tidy when they slide down and wrinkle about the heel. Do make sure that the stockings you buy are not too large or too small, then keep them up with proper garters.

but we can't go into that here.
 MT. G., aged 45, in perfect health, was advised to have a tooth extracted beact1se his dentor did not like the looks of the X-ray film. His dentor referred him to a colleague who makes the ionization test for focal infection. This other dentor saw badly broken down tooth crown, an X-ray film that showed no definite sign of infec- ton about the root, and a poor att tempt at root canal filling. The tooth had never given any discom- fort. The dentor administered 30 mans (millimpere minutes-that is, say 3 milliamperes of galvanic electricity for ten minutes, with io- din applied to gum over the area of the root, as in the technique many good dentors use in the treatment of pyorrhea and other infections about the teeth or gums.) Within 24 hours the patient complained of painful twingeS in his back and shoulder, such as he had never ex- perienced before. These twinges disappeared within another 24 hours. The dentor concluded from this reaction that the tooth was in fected and potential source of focal infection, and advised ex- traction.
 Now that, I believe, is good med icine. I call that dental consultant a doctor.
 Here is a method whereby any good dentor may not only test for focal infection but also administer excellent treatment in many such cases. The same method is now being used as clinical test of focal infection in tonsil cases that is, to decide whether silent septic foci in or around the tonsils are responsible for systematic con- ditions with which the patient suf- ferS.

PARENTS

Often parents who have adopted a child find themselves puzzled, wher things don't go altogether right about correcting the unfortunate habit.
 One general idea, however, should be kept in mind. Forget that this little member of the fam fly is not your own, and do exactly as you would do with your own flesh and blood.
 Give him all the love and cher ishing that you would bestow upon your own child, but guide and train him also as you would your own. This is only fair to him and to everybody else.
 Special Problems
 It takes fortitude sometimes to regiment the little boy or girl who through the tragedy of circum- stances has lost his first home. Not only is there special appeal to the foster mothers sympathy and pity, but she also senses the eyes of the world upon her.
 What will the Smiths think if I correct James? The whole street will be talking if they hear Susan cry"
 The street won't talk, and the ,. Smiths will understand, if they know you to be person of heart and judgment. So do not be too sensi- tive about what they think. AS far as neighborhood gossip goes, it is quite ready to criticise the too-strict natural parent, and pity the badly handled child, no matter who he is.
 A recent letter brought me the problem of mother who had taken child of eight into her family, because his parents were dead and none of his relatives wanted him."
 Child Takes Advantage
 He has proved to be a trial, and the list of his poor habits is a long one. She is trying to be very kind in order to win his confidence and make the forlorn little chap feel at home, but she says he takes advantage of every one in the house.
 It is almost impossible to give blanket advice about a case like this, because characteristics set in early years are not always easy to change, and besides, cases differ so much. However, to make a child feel that he belongs in the family and should share it's discipline as well as its kindnesses is, believe, the best course in the end
 The very fact that the same things are expected of him as the other children should not set him apart in his own mind, but create bond with the rest.
 A child, at first, may not be at his best, because strangeness and insecurity bring out his poorest traits. These things must be taken into consideration, and pa- tience is only fair, until adjust ment takes place, and loneliness

TURNING the porch and garden \ into summer living quarters is . modern habit which is still so new that it always seems like fresh venture in homemaking. Moving out to seek the breeze and enjoy the flowers no longer means sacrificing the comfort and charm of indoor furnishings. Now the chemist has stepped in and com pletely disarmed the weather, mak- ing possible gliders, chaise lounges, and easy chairs with good looks and durability unaffected by damp ness, humidity and sudden showers. Modern lacquered fabrics provide funiture covering that is water proc: and vermin-proof; other up holstery ma, ,erials are made water repellent; and, most astonishing of all, there is now a mildew-proofing treatment which prevents destruc- tive fungal growth.
 These improvements in outdoor furniture, as shown in the pictures above, include finishes with syn thetic resin base which have brought quicker drying, harder wearing surfaces. better hiding powers and stronger barrier against rust and decay. The popu- larity of white furniture for out side use gained impetus with the arrival of these finishes, as the new whites are less affected by time and weather.
 The modern lacquered fabrics have a washable surface, simplify ing the task of cleaning. Also chintz, satine, duck and canvas are treated to make them water repel1ent without affecting the ap- .Dearance of the material The
