Easy to see why Betty and Jack don't get many invitations. A sim pie etiquette problem has them be- Wildered.
 Betty doesn't know it's correct
 since cars are whizzing by on Jacks side-for her tu hop out first. Jack doesn't know that in this situation he excuses himself rom assisting her.
 On a quiet street, of course, the man should step out of the car first, come round to the curb to assist Hhe girl. At tearoom, when the hostess leads the way to table. the alri goes ahead; he follows. At the movies. she steps aside when he buys tickets. She never should stand awkwardly at his elbow.
 Be poised. sure of your etiquette and social success comes easily to you. Our 32-page booklet tells what's correct in public, at parties. Ifsveling, in everyday life.

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton


 T told you not to go to Louisa's after school" said Mary's mother. i've been waiting for you to do an errand."
 "Why, mother, I asked you and you said yes Don't you remem- ber?"
 q know, but you, didn't listen when told you later to wait until tomorrow, and to come straight home"
 "Did youp" Mary puckered her brows. T don't remember a thing about it."
 "Well, 1t doesn't matter very much after all, but you'll have to pay bet- ter attention, dear. This morning told you to wear your raincoat and you forgot"
 Lack of Attention T didn't forget. I actually didn't hear you, honestly" said Mary. T must be going crazy" s#
 "Oh no, not crazy" smiled her mother, but you do lot of wool gathering. You don't concentrate when I speak. How can teach you to stop thinking about other things when tell you something, so that you will hear with your mind instead of just two ears that spill things right out?"
 "MiSs Gray says have the greatest imagination of anyone she ever knew" said Mary soberly. T guess she's right. I get so wrapped up in thinking my own thoughts, I don't hear people half the time."
 You are pretty young to be able to figure out your own shortcomings my dear," said Mary's mother with quiet amusement, but I think you are exactly right. When I spoke to you about the raincoat, you were wondering whether to wear your striped sweater or the plain one, or something like that. And when I told you that I'd changed my mind about your coming home, you were smelling the hyacinths in the sun- room. You've always got 8 private party on, in your mind.
 Must Help Themselves "It gets to be an almost unbreak- able habit, and people call it absent mindedness, But instead of the mind being absent, it is too crowded at the moment to hold another thought.
 T could say, Listen to me- every time spoke to you, to give you time to pay attention, but after awhile that would just become part of the scenery, too. And it sounds bad. No. the only one who can help you is yourself, dear. You have to learn to snap to attention. Alert people are the ones who have 8 gift of being mentally on hand" This little conversation may help other mothers with wool gathering boys or girls. It is true that they will have to help themselves. but we can assist them, to, in many ways. Concentration and alertness are the parents of personality as well as success, and more than step-kin to intelligence.

THE HAZARD OF SYPHILITIC
 INFECTION

THE HAZARD OF SYPHILITIC INFECTION
 Tn everyday life there is a slight yet definite risk of contracting syphilis through direct contact with a person who has the disease or through the medium of infected ar ticles. We who know this do not worry about it. We rely on simple soap and water cleanliness to protect us against this and many similar hazards of infection. We develop an aseptic (not antiseptic) conscience, the kind of care the surgeon uses in the operating room and the physi- clan and nurse in attending the pa- tient isolated with erysipelas or typhoid fever. And we are scrupu- lous-as indeed every one should be about the immediate application of iodin to every little scratch, cut or abrasion of the skin, and then whatever protection or dressing may be suitable to prevent subse- quent contamination or infection of the trifling wound-a film of fiex- ible collodion, a covering of clean adhesive plaster or 8 sterile surgi- cal dressing. (Sterile means germ- free, such as 8 freshly laundered and ironed handkerchief, the sur- face of which, to contact the wound, has not been touched by any un- sterilized object such as 8 finger. A syphilitic individual who coughs into ones face may infect one with syphilis. A towel used by more than one person, 8 common drinking cup, sketchily washed glasses, spoons and other ware at soda fountains and in eating places
 where cleanliness facilities are a
 travesty on the local health de- partment,s efficiency, implements in barber shops and beauty parlors where smells and flashy gadgetry are used to divert the customers attention from the unsanitary prac- tices, a cigar cutter indiscriminately used by smokers who first moisten the cigar in the mouth, borrowed pipe (some pipe smokers do not mind using such a pipe in pinch), ~ UOA4VWC4 ApSt4SA, G bOAAOWSa PcA- Gil unconsciously moistened with saliva, may be the means of infec- ton with syphilis.
 Bath tubs, wash basins, door knobs and toilet seats, theoretically dangerous, are rarely if ever the source of infection with syphilis. However. it is inexcusable to com- pei a patron to handle any of these objects. especially after he has washed his hands. Knobs on bath room or lavatory doors and hand faucets on wash basins or drinking fonts are as obsolete as whip sock cts on roadsters and really belong in the museum along with the roller towel. The foot and not the hand should control doors. valves and faucets.
 In q number of instances a man has been inoculated with syphills-by cutting a knuckie in striking . blow upon the teeth af Syphliitic oppon- ent,--this is familiar enough to be recognized as bFawl or iist chancre. Innocent Kissing ig a pfolilic means of infection with eyphlils.

Never permit a stranger, no mat ter how wholesome or courteous and kindly, to kiss a baby. Indeed 1t is cruel for any one, even the baby's own mother, to kiss the baby on the mouth at any time. Medical litera- ture contained report some years ago of the inoculation of seven girls by one youth in kissing game with chancres on lip or cheek.
 Wart on Sole
 I have suffered for several years from a wart on the sole near the heel. Had it burned off with acid with sunlight focused through lens and with electricity, but it invari- ably comes back larger than before --(Mrs. M.J.M.)
