treatments. The majority of physi- clans prefer to give the two injec- tions three weeks apart. Injection of this toxoid stimulates formation in the child's body of substance capable of overcoming the diph- theria poison.
 Use of the Schick test in thou sands of cases has shown that about 8 per cent of young babies are without resistance to diphtheria, from 90 to 40 per cent of babies are without resistance at l year of age, and about 65 per cent are without sufficient resistance at the age of 5.
 Before the invention of toxoid, 1t was customary to ward off diph- theria by giving those who had been exposed dose of the anti toxin. This type of injection would prevent the disease for only very short time. Then mixture of toxin and antitoxin was given. Since this involved the injection of horse ser- um, however. toxoid has gradually replaced both ar,titoxin and toxin. antitoxin f. the prevention of diph- theria.
 In the treatment of the disease, the antitoxin, of course. is most valuable.

Make HOusework Easier With These Tricks

Be clever about the little jobs that eat up your time.
 Chill your candles several hours so they burn slowly, won't drip. If wax does get on the cloth, don't rub to get rid of 1t. Scrape, place blot ters under and over the spot, and press with a hot iron.
 Avoid tight-shoe trouble. Lay a hot. wet cloth over the pinching parts while the shoes are on your feet. The leather expands, you walk with ease.
 Does Juniors chewing gum stick to clothes? Soften with egg white the gum you can't scrape of, laun- der as usual. Do dingy neckties pile up? Put them into a jar half full of carbon tetrachloride. Cover and shake. Rinse in clean carbon tetra- chloride. Dry outdoors.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
 What begets which, interest or attention?
 If we settle this, then we have the answer to practically every- thing in education, if not life it. self-meaning ambition and suc- cess.
 For years and years now we have gone on the theory that youngsters won't amount to g pound of beans if they are not pitched headfirst into a nice patch of interest, there to browse and eventually emerge with mental and moral muscles that will get them places and lick the world.
 Some theorists are now upset ting the modern applecart, and pointing back over the hills to beginnings. They say, Get ate tention and then you have inter- est"
 So be 1t. Personally think 1t works both ways. Or rather, "Get attention and maybe you'll get interest.
 Natural Preference Important
 Suppose, for instance, that you want Joe to knit a scarf. Joe has been i'll and he has to be quiet for two months. He ant read too steadily, 50 you buy two big wooden needles and some thick yarn and show him how to purl and knit. He watches carefully (attention) and gets the idea.
 Well, Joseph only misses one stitch in five, but he does fairly well. However when he has enough finished to cover 8 post card he lays 1t aside and won't touch 1t.
 Joe is a boy. He'd rather whit tie ships.
 Now Josephine m fight love to knit. But she is girl.
 So think that natural pref ererce is an entity in child de- velopment, as well as attention and interest.
 Mark and Mack, we'll say, both boys of course. enter a class. Both chemistry. After month Mark hates it and Mack loves 1t. On the other hand, Mark is enthusiastic about his new violin, while Mack, taking lessons to suit his parents, abhors his fiddle.
 So there are three things. At tention, interest and natural pref erence or at least conformity when all three become featured as keys to education, then we'll have the right answer.
 i think 1t Is time wasted to force to great lengths any voca- ton or AyOcation on youth who is not interested and cannot force himself to an interest, after giv- ing 1t close attention for . fair period of time.
 Talent often ls Dormant
 However, a parent and teach- CT, too, has to try to discover where talent lies. Talent some times springs from odd places. A girl may insist that she won't take up commercial work. Yet, after her attention is called to it. and her interest aroused (because she k a natural executive, and nleth- odical as well), she may become real enthusiast. Mark may get l,is teeth Into chemistry and Mack

find fun in swinging mean bow It can and does happen.
 But one thing, I believe, to bt a mistake and this idea bounced many experimental schools out of the rut, some years ago, over into the rnire. They were 50 sure that entertainment and muddlii1g about first aroused interest and therefore. attention. Many discov- cred the mistake and corrected 1t. They found that attention and hard work, plugging and licking a job. do not always follow "inter- est"
 Little children do best under the interest first motive. Grad ually 1t has to De changed. Att tention, however, must be gain- ed at any cost, because 1t is the main root of education no matter what fathers it.

 A new 1ipstick is shaped like 8 pagoda, with a fire-red ball on top. The lip rouge itself is an excellent brand and comes in 8 variety of colors. And the case packed in a tiny cellophane box, looks as gay as Valentine should.
 Bath preparations of all types always are appreciated. Look at dusting powder in gayly deco rated talcum cylinders or in leather boxes. Teamed up with a huge cake of bath soap, one of these makes lovely gift. Bath oils are newer than bath crystals.
 Newer, too, than sachet bags is sachet paint. One especially nice variety comes in pretty little glass jar and is to be paint ed on the bottom of dresser drawers. It dries quickly, does not stain clothing and retains it's scent for months. You can get 1t in lavender and other single flower odors, also in pine and mixed bouquet.

The Family Doctor Diphtheria Particularly Dangerous
 To Children Under 5 Years Of Age

 It is not safe to gamble on the possibility that a throat infection which looks like diphtheria is real- ly not diphtheria, but something else. If your child complains of sickness, particularly of sore throat, and if there is any possibil- ity that he has been exposed to diphtheria, a culture should be taken and the material examined immediately.
 A doctor should be summoned in- stantly if your child appears to have swelling of the neck or any croupy condition with hoarseness. Eighty-five per cent of the deaths from dipLthe ia occur in young sters under years of age. In such children particularly, therefore, rec- ognition of diphtheria at the earliest possible moment Is import ant.
 Tn preventing diphtheria, the most significant factors are the use of the Schick test and of diphtheria toxoid. During the first six months of life, many children are protected from diphtheria by material coming to them through their mothers.
 The Schick test, which shows whether q child has this protection ih it's boGy, Is merely a method in which . yerS small amount of diph- tteria toxin Is injected under the skin. People who have resistance to disease will have negative Schick test; those who have not, . posi-

Beware That Chilly Feeling
 February is the hottest month of the year and the driest-indoors up north. It is the month when one must beware that chilly feeling Not the chill of a sudden change from 70 degrees or higher to 30 degrees or lower when you leave the house, office, shop or store to fo outdoors. Not the chill of a change of weather. Not the chill of a wind or a draft. The chilly feeling that one must be on guard against is caused by excessive drying out of the air.
 Warm dry air in an overheated place gives a sense of chilliness due to excessive evaporation of water from the skin. Too often this sense of chilliness leads the occupant to turn on still more heat, which dries out the air still more and aggra- yates the condition that is respon- sible for the discomfort.
 Air can hold invisible water vapor in proportion to it's tempera- ture. At 70 degrees F. the air can hold nearly five times as much moisture as 1t can at or below freezing. When outdoor air in the winter time is brought into the house and heated to 68 or 70 1t takes moisture from wherever 1t can get mosture. Unless you pro- vide substantial amount of mois- ture the air takes 1t from the fur niture, book bindings, floor boards, any plants or flowers in the house, musical instruments. It takes quan-

Paris Styles

United Press Stan Correspopdenu Paris (UP)-LouiSe Bourbon is the first of the big hat designers to ntlOW her spring collection. The most Important step shs has taken is to abolish entirely the high crown. There isn't a single flower-pot sroNn in the entire collection.
 The small hats have shallow rounded crowns that are fitted to fhe head. Some are made with ExlsA11 upturned brims and fit rather far back on the head. Others have sotlared or oval crowns that are trifie elevated and finished with rnedttim .sized brims that dip way doNu in front but are rather shal- low in back. This ought to mean that hair, styles will be changed and will be elevated in back to meet the .brirns of new hats.
 zshere are surprisingly few straws m tl1is collection. Pastel-shaded felts axe numerous and all shades of Green are shown in preference to other colors. There is much black and white also. Often three or more cc1crg will be ingeniously inserted in siugle model For example, one foufe of felt is made of three nhades of green and 8 piece of potasf1ia colored felt.
 Trimming Is far more ornate than fz1at shown last season. Fancy gar- lands and bows or ribbons trim many hats, while flowers. fruits, ears of corn, military braiding effected In ribbon and feathers cleverly treated to resemble fish and insects trim others. One hat for example, zs trimmed with a large red lady bug Of feathers.
 Wide-brimmed picture hats of straw are shown only for afternoon wear in py-brimmed straws and fclts trimmed with flowers. veils are popular here.

 Today, the 10th of February. is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. The modification of the soul we'll leave to spiritual advisers; the domestic problem of meatless meals is a matter less mystical.
 From now until Good Friday, the 26th of March, many homes will need recipes for both fish and eggs and other meatless dishes which will satisfy the everyday needs of the working appetite and still conform to the canonical laws.
 There's always Codfish. Fresh fish may not always be available where you live. Frozen fish, despite its increasing excellence, thanks to scientific refrigeration and rapid transportation, may not quite sat- isfy you. But there IS always cod- fish and that can be first class eating. Ask any of the folks from down East"
 Down East Codfish Balls @ balls)
 This is the kind that is haky, melting tender and not too regular in shape. 1 cup salt codfish. 2 1-2 cups raw cubed potatoes, 1-2 table spoon butter, l-8 teaspoon black pepper, 1 egg.
 Soak codfish in cold water for at least hours. Pour off water, then shred with fork. Cook potatoes until tender, drain and dry thoroughly. This drying is very important if you want haky cakes.
 Mash well, add butter and pep- per and beat until light. Add sight, ly beaten egg to mash and fiuffed potato, then shredded codfish and beat with stern insistence until the whole mass is as delicate and as light as 8 whispering summer breeze. Taste. Does 1t need a deck more of salt?
 Heat your deep fat in a kettle to 385 degrees F. Scoop out codfish balls with an ice cream scoop and place in frying basket. In they go and stay for 1 minute, out they come brown and tender. Drain on brown paper.
 Here's an extra touch of Lenten indulgence an egg sauce to blanket them in mellow Kindness. Egg Sauce (Enough for ballO This is a Connecticut invention. Three cups milk, 3 tablespoons flour, 3 tablespoons butter, tea spoon salt. shake of pepper, 3 hard- cooked eggs (more if your budget won't objcct.)
 Scald milk. Blend flour and but. ter together and add to milk. Cook until 1t forms sauce consistency. Season. Slice the hard-cooked eggs and add to cream sauce. Serve pip- ing hot. As you see, there is more to Lent than penitence.  TOMORROW's MENU BREAKFAST: Grapefruit with .oganberry jam, bacon

Poet Says Woman
Will Not Narrate
Great Love Story

Americans are too cautious as
lovers, Edgar Lee Master said today,
and so 'the great American love
story" has never been written.
Ii 1t ever is written, it probably
won't be by woman, he added, be-
cause to women love isn't such a
soul-shaking affair as it is to man.
Masters judgment of American
character and scene in prose and
poetry, including the Spoon River
Anthology"
Americans don't 60 into love
matters with the same imagination
that people do in other countries"
he explained.
cts not that the French and Eng
ish and Italians are necessarily
more passionate or more vital than
Americans, but, being more sure of
themselves, they are more able to
abandon themselves in something
like love.
I'VE are raised here for the most
part according to a pattern of duty
to industry, to what is known as
success, and to the hearth that tends
to standardize and take all the blood
out of deeply personal matter like
love.
'Take the Duke of Windsor-look
at the way he flung himself into his
romance. Then look at the way the
cautious, self-disciplined American
magnate goes at the thing.
"Oh, he may get infatuated with
some girl for little while, but the
first thing you know he has dropped
her and is looking around for some
one else"
