Your
Children
BY Olive Roberts Barton

"The robin, poor thing can hide
his head under his wing, and / hope
keep warm when the nice spring
weather suddenly swirls snow at us
and says 1t was just fooling.
Robins are like people and
children, when 1t comes to safety
and health, and they evidently know
that heads are to be protected.
But they differ from us in one re-
spect, evidently, because 1t Is the
warm intervals Of March, not the
cold, that are dangerous for the hui
man being, particularly II followed
by another change Of weather.
There Is an old saying that goes
Live through March and live all
year.. And usually there Is a
basis for the old saws.
Beginning Of Cold
Harry comes in from schol and
complains. Nom, I'm nearly
'oasted, Can't I just wear my
.weater this afternoon and leave
the old coat at homer"
And Mother, tanning herself
with her apron, says "You cer-
tainly may" Then Harry, with
half a point won, pleads for still
more comfort. II don't need this
sweater, either. Look, there's
Chuck out in just his shirt"
He wins, Harry does, and that aft
ernoon a cool wind begins to blow.
Harry sniffles that night and COM
plains Of earache, because he flew
q kite on his way home and left
his cap at the news stand.
March is the variable month, more
SO indeed than April Of tickle fame.
In April, In spite OF showers and
occasional "angel snow, unseen
forces are in general way more ia.
vorable to health.
During warm intervals Of
weather, children need not go out
bundled up the way they were on
zero days, because they will get
overheated, and this is dangerous
also. But the ears that have been
covered by flaps all winter, threats
protected by scarfs, and small
shanks accustomed to leggings, are
vulnerable places. The mother must
use as careful Judgment as she can,
do the unpealing slowly, and above
all, watch for sudden changes In
temperature.
Weakest Spots Are Targets
Harry needed his coat and cap.
The sweater may not have been
necessary. And he should have come
straight, home and not shed his
School rooms and houses are
warm enough for the average
child to make 1t safe for him to
shed all outer wraps. Street Is an
other matter, until spring has set
tied down In earnest.
Girls jump ropes, get overheated,
then cool off too soon, or skate with
the same result, then sit down in
the March wind. Tell them to come
in right away and not sit down any.

Of their fun, SO the best substitute
is caution.

DRAMATIZE INDIVIDUAL
FEATURES
NE.i Service Writer


Every woman should figure out a
few beauty tricks which dramatize
her natural features and point up
individual characteristics. It is a
good idea to follow general beauty
and fashion trends, of course, but
try not to look like everyone else.
A girl whose eyes are unusually
small ought to wear mascara on her
laSheS in the daytime as well as
evening. One with too-small
mouth should apply lipstick lavish
ly, and keep 1t on all the time. At
night, very large nose looks smaller
If 1t is covered with powder one
shade darker than that used on the
rest of the face.

to pulchritude, spend some time and

COMMON SIGNS OF vITAMIN
DEFICIENCIES


Full-blown deficiency diseases
such as scurvy or ricketts, are usual
ly recognized. Beriberi (poly-neu-
ritis, multiple neuritis) in the trop-
les and pellagra in the southern
states are usually recognized. But
the everyday minor disturbance of
health due to partial deficiencies
Of the same factors are generally
missed because little or nothing
about the effects of moderate vita
min deficiencies has as yet appeared
In medical textbooks and the rank
and file of the medicl profession
therefore remains only vaguely
aware Of the signs or symptoms Of
such nutritional deficiencies. This is
not merely my thought am
quoting almost verbatim from an
article read before section Of the
American Medical association, June
IL, 1885. by DIR. Russell l.. Hayden.
One hould think Of nutritional
deficiency disease or state, con-
cluded DIR. Hayden, rather than of
deficiency diseases" and should
consider this deficiency state in
many clinical problems. The pos
sibility Of q deficiency in nutritional
factors should be considered in
many clinical SURVEYS just as in
lection, glandular disorders, allergy
and other possible causes are or
dinarily considered by the physi-
clan who thoroughly examines his
patient.

Spring brings ever two exciting
events-first rhubarb; second, pro-
testing letters to the food editor
from persons who think rhubarb is
poisonous eating. Spring is now
here--the ruddy strawberry and the
cool green rhubarb on the fruit
stalls prove 1t; so does the editorial
mail bag. Thus life rolls on its sea-
sonal track.

4 FACE ARREST
IN BANK CASE

CHARLES TOWN, w. Va, Sept.
8.-Four new arrests will be made
in connection with the 100000
shortage that led to the closing Of
the Farmers Bank and Trust Com
pany here last week, it was learned
today.
Just who the four men are,
whether they are employees of the
bank or connected with a race
track gambling ring, authorities
declined to say.
j. Richard Russell. former
mayor of Charles Town, president
Of a civic club and assistant
cashier of the bank, who disap-
peared last week, then surrendered
to police and admitted he was
short in his accounts, is held in
jail at MartinSburg in default Of
500, 900 bond.
Russell, one Of the most popular
men IN CnlS community, was 11rSC
jailed here, then transferred to
Martinsburg. Authorities ad-
mitted the move was made because
of the growing wave Of resent
ment against Russell.
It was learned today that j.
Raymond Levi, of Winchester was
arrested last Saturday and Jailed
as a Government witness. He was
taken to Berryville, Va, and yes
terday obtained his release by
posting $4,000 bond.

eating the bank shortage are prob

Gas Money
d. C.. Reduction Fund
Put At Only $3,137
NEW TAXATION

After quite a bit Of "gassing,
it appeared at the Public Utilities
Commissions hearing on gas rates
today that only $3,137 would be
available toward reduction Of bills.
This amounts to an average OF
~ cents a year on the bills OF
the company's 100000 consumers,
10000 Of whom are in the domes'
tic class.
B. M. Bachman, the commits
sion's chief accountant, testified
the company earned $1,432, 1871
for the year ending June 80. This,
he said, was 6.5286 per cent OF the
$22,OOO,0OO valuation Of the com
pany property.
The company is allowed a return
of 6.5 per cent under the commits
sion's Sliding scale for rate adjust
ments. Bachman said the excess
profit was $6,275. half Of which
or $3,137-is available for rate
reductions.
other statistics revealed by
Rachman were items Of $500, 408
for operating revenue during the
year and $5,264,191 for operating
expenses.
William NICK. Clayton, Of the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
lions, questioned Bachman con.
corning an item of $426,783 listed
as new business. At his request,
Bachmamn broke the item down,
revealing $202,804 for advertising
and $124,827 for canvaSsing and
soliciting.
In the figures, Bachman ex-
planned, the company listed dona-
tions to such affairs as the Cherry
Blossom Festival under "inStitu-
tional advertising"
Rachman also explained that
the company had an item Of $780,.
100 for builders allowances. He
explained that this had been dis
continued April l at his recon-
mendation. 1t involved, he said
an allotment Of $125 for each
building, which the company
made to a builder it could induce
to equip a structure with all gas
appliances and advertise it as
such.
