A pretty frock that saves a "pretty-penny" is what we're all seeking in these days of limited budgets, and when one as pretty as this beckons, we waste no time in making it ours. Both trim and smart, it's designed in sizes right up to forty-six, and boasts all the firm, figure-molding lines of an aft- ernoon frock. An elongated bodice and hip yoke, aided by darts, seem literally to melt away those hard to-lose pounds there at the waist line, while cape-like sleeves set up on the shoulder minimize bulk at that particular point. The U-shap- ed neckline is so flattering to the matron. Any small-spaced print in cotton is serviceable for Pattern 3O2. Detailed Sewing Guide ac- companies this pattern.

Do you feel awkward when you invite men to be your guests-think you lose feminine charm?
 Watch how popular Joan makes new friends, pays obligations. She has invited Tim, newly come to town, to be one of her guests at a restaurant dinner. Afterward, he's to escort her to a subscription dance.
 Does that mean Joan presents tickets, pays checks and tips pub- lcly? Not a bit of it. Joans popu- lar because she never ernbarrasses men. She ordered the dinner, paid check and tip earlier in the day. She gives the dance tickets to Tim before they leave her home. If they take a taxi, she allows him to pay.

All things come from the sun, irl- cluding health and strength, so now that Sol is showing his face again to us winterbound folk, we must make the most of him.
 Babies need sun, and they need to be kissed by his direct rays all over. But this early in the year mothers will have to go about this treatment very carefully indeed.
 The first thing necessary for safety all around is the advice of the doctor who has eben looking after your little one. He will tell you if the baby is in fit condition to be stripped and exposed for even the two or three minute treatments.
 First exposures must be short and sweet indeed, because skin and flesh not used to hearty greetings of sun-rays may sop up more than is good for your small Harry or Henrietta.
 Keep Off the Wind
 How to go about this golden bath is important also. It must be given in a room Cup here in our north temperature climate, anyway, and quite warm one. The bed must be some disttnce away from the open window, too, or else a way as to keep off breezes.
 Better open the top window, rather than the lower, and wheel the bed into the sunny spot made by the rays that enter through the open space, not the glass. : If you had quartz glass in your nursery window then all this fuss could e avoided be- cause the medical rays penetrate quartz. You could then leave the window closed, put baby beside it and let him soak up whatever sun is prescribed. But although hospitals equip their baby wards and play rooms with this new glass today, quartz is out of reach of most of us.
 Strip baby and lay him on his face in the sun for minute or SO. Then turn him protect his eyes and let him fry on the other side for the same time. Very very gradually the time may be heightened, but this according to doctors orders also.
 Perhaps the child is not in physical condition to be strip ped for even such a short time. In this case he can wait until later spring.
 Take No Risk of Cold
 In every case he must be kept warm, and no risks taken. If 1t is very blOwy and uncertain day, omit the sun bath, I suggest, be- cause there is more sun ahead.
 Beginning with the warm calm days of late May. perhaps baby can take his bath outdoors, and from then on he an absorb his vitamins. bone-makers and tissue builders without trouble. At pres- ent, perhaps e little trouble will be worth while. Be sure, perfect ly sure, underlined. that his bed is dry, and that he is dry all over. and not perspiring when you fix hlui. He must not take cold.

Let me say, writes a teacher in a dental school, that I am one dentor who doesn't mind your effort to change my professional title. While I cannot openly agitate for closing dental schools and sending all of our students over to the medical school for their instruction, I do think your contention has sound sense in 1t. Far from resent ing yourjibes at our branch of medicines, advise my students they will do well to read your column regularly. I myself have been one of your followers for many years. I mean follower. I credit my ex- cellent health to the practical hy- giene I have learned from you. I think I have yite and I know I have escaped the cri by practicing the principles you prescribe. (-, D. D. s.
 Despite the disheartening fact that the professors good will must be kept secret--a catch l find in some of the finest testimonials-I am delighted with his letter be- cause of the way in which he uses the words dentor, vite and cri cor rectly and without apologetic quo- tation marks. Messrs, Merriam please copy.
 What worries the bootleg special ists who practice dentistry without a license to practice medicine is not so much their desire for the prestige the title of doctor carries, but the knowledge that the present wasteful and inefficient system cannot go on much longer. For years the leaders in education have contended that the present course of instruction in the dental school is practically the same as the course in the regular medical school, and they are right and that is as 1t should be. Then why maintain sep arate institutions? One school IS enough to train any physician, no matter what speciality he elects to practice after he has finished his training and obtained license. Time to arrange for whatever tech- nical training his speciality may re- quire, after he has finished his fun- damental medical schooling. Every school year or semester the separate dental school continues to exist IS wicked, extravagant waste-and l challange educators, economists and especially parents or packers of boys or girls who hope to enter dentistry as a profession to defend the present system.

 Tt is a mistake, indeed, to do all kinds of beauty routines to keep hair, gace and figure attractive, yet neglect your hands," says Barbara Stanwyck, lovely motion picture star.
 You can't hide hands, you know. Whatever you are doing-pouring tea, driving car, playing golf, read- ing or just talking-they are in the lfrnelight."
 Miss Stanwyck warns against dry ness, advising all women to wash their hands with cream soap and to apply lotion after washing, a cream at night.
 Most beauty experts agree with me that stimulation of circulation in the hands is 8 splendid idea" she recalls. T accomplish this with an ordinary hand brush. Also, use of a brush makes for scrupulous cleanli- ness and removes dried skin."
 And massage, she holds, is as beneficial to hands as to face and throat.
 When you apply night cream, rub your hands together vigorously. Massage one with the other. Stretch them up and down. Revolve them at the wrist. However, be sure that you don't pull fingers hard enough to street the joints or make them crack"
 The screen star cautions against use of a steel flle, adding that nails should be shortened and shaped with an emery board and cleaned with an orange stick, dripping with soapy water. Personally, she never is tempted to cut cuticle, because after years of pussing 1t back with an orange stick and keeping it soft and pliable with cuticle oil, she hasn't any.
 Miss Stanwyck believes that nail polish should be selected with an eye toward improving your appear ance-not creating startling ef- )ect. Wear extremely vivid shades |mlv is they are fiattering to you lnd tO your costume. Save silver, bronze and other unusual tones for When in debut, wear light hell or natural lacuuer.

OIJEZON REVIEWS HIS PLEA FOR
INDEPENDENCE FOR PHILIPPINES

for early independence. His only
reference to the Sino-Japanese sit
uation is his statement that inde-
pendence would relieve America "of
any further responsibility for the
protection of the Philippines. I"
President Quezon's radiogram
follows in full:
I'm my recent trip I submitted
to President Roosevelt the advis-
ability of advancing the date of in
dependence and | have not with
dawn that proposal. I believe it
best for the Philippines no less
than for America to hasten politi-
cal separation thus giving the Fill
pino people full power and respon-
sibility to direct their own nation
al life in accordance with ther
ideals and by means of their own
choice, at the same time relieving
America of any further RESPONSE
bility for the protection of the
Philippines.
TO make this early indepen-
dence an assured success, forestal-
ling any possible serious economic
disturbance, all that is necessary is
to continue in its present form the
trade relations between the United
States and the Philippines, as pro-
vided in the Independence Act OF
Congress, for at least the same
number of years specified in said
act.
There is no justified or justi-
fable objection to this proposal for
it is evident that the present trade
relations between America and the
Philippines are no less beneficial
to the United States than they are
to the Philippines, each country get
ting its respective quid pro quo.
From the standpoint of America
there is the further advantage, if
the date of independence is advanc-
ed, of terminating that much SOON
er her obligation to protect the
Philippines. In other words, under
the Independence Act America is
bound until nineteen forty-six to
defend the Philippines and to main
tain with the Islands the trade re-
lations provided in said act. If in
dependence is advanced as I have
suggested America will be relieved
of her duty. to protect the Philip
pines and will only continue her
present trade relations which as
stated before are equally beneficial
to her and the Philippines. Quezon"
