It may be good news to Waterburians who visit the American Museum of Nat ural History in New York city to learn that funds have been provided for it in the citys latest appropriations so that all its rooms can now be kept open at all times For several years the museum has been operated on short time There weren't sufficient funds to pay attend ants for full weeks work so it had to be rotated. This necessitated closing some departments of the museum at certain times during the week. For a time charge to the museum was contemplated, but not adopted. Now the former schedule of full time returns.

Controversy

Don't talk to an extremist of any kind," says a weary arguer, unless you already agree with him, and just want to have a good time strengthening your faith and denouncing the dumbbells on the other side. "You can't speed up turtle or slow down rabbit. Conser- vatives and liberals are born, not made, and never the twain shall meet"
 Recognition of this fact makes for po- litical wisdom and social peace But there's a neutral band in between, where intelligent people can profitably discuss things they don't get "het up" about.

A Book a Day
A Revealing Study
 of Fascism's Ideals
BY BRUCE CATION

The most complete and dispas- sionate study of the real meaning Of FaScism that I have yet seen is contained in "The Spirit and Struc- ture of German Fascisrn," by Robert A. Brady (Viking Press: $3).
 Unlike most writers on the sub- ject, MT. Brady keeps his emo- tions under control. He Is out to show what Fascims is, how 1t comes and why it comes, and he does 1t with complete and schol- arly thoroughness.
 Fascism, he makes clear, is a political revolution but not a so- cial revolution. It is nothing more or less than the imposition of monopoly capitalism's will upon the struggling masses; 1t is the coercion by which monopoly cap- italism makes sure that the means of production will remain in pri- vate hands.
 It replaces democracy, he con- tinues, when and if monopoly capitalism is unable to keep the masses disciplined" under a dem- ocratic form of government. For when the conflict of interests be- tween monopoly capitalism and the workers grows acute, the free- dom of a democracy means that capitalism's privileges will be sharp- ly challenged; capitalism, according ly, throws freedom overheard and finds safety in e dictatorship.
 Professor Brady's examination of the way 1t happened in Germany is clear and complete. And then, drawing his analogies, he comes to the question--"Can it happen here?"
 His answer is: 1t can, very easily, and probably will, unless believers in democracy awake and beStir themselves. The setup favors 1t. The trend is in that direction. If we continue to drift. without realizing how close Fascism is, we may drift straight into 1t.

MACDONALD AND THE PARK
 WAY
Bridgeport Times Starr

(Bridgeport-T1me starr
 If State Highway Commissioner Macdonald has really ordered "full speed ahead" on the construction of the Merritt Parkway, it is the first time he has done so since the project began.
 However, we'll accept his state- ment in good faith. and gladly ac- cept his prediction that the parkway will be opened between the New York line and Norwalk before the "snow flies". Thousands of Sat- urday motorists would rather have him say before the football season opens" but indications are that the old Post Road will have to serve, so far as this fall is con- cerned.
 There is no reason why MT. Mac- donald should not say full speed ahead. The county sold bonds for the parkway some months ago, and unless MT. Macdonald does make immediate progress. the assumption will be that he likes to spend his money slowly, practice which does not force a wide division of the work among the contractors.

A Chicago manufacturer says that ven- triloquists' dummies are returning to favor. He ought to know, for he has just made and sold 5000 of them all over the world. Did you have anything to do with this, Charlie Mccarthy? However, the dummies used today must be up to date both in clothes and in expressions There's more art going into their manufacture than in the old days when they simply dangled on the performers knee.

Manners
of the
Moment

An orchid in the Office causes jealousy.
q s. WANTS to know why she re-
ceived so many froWns the day
she wore an orchid to the Office. Our
answer is that every one else was jeal-
Gus
But that wasn't the only thing that
worried G. S. Some kind busybody
told her that girls never wore orchids
to the Office. We'd say pooh. pooh. to
all that. Girls don't wear orchids
to the Office because they don't usu-
ally have orchids.
OF course, there is a convention.
But We do hate to see any one downed
by convention. The convention is
that an orchid is too luxurious a
thing for average Workaday clothes.
Maybe it is. But if girl likes Or
chids, and she has a boy friend who
gives them to her, We can't see -.
Well, perhaps it would be best for
girl to look at it this way. If she
has nice orchid which she doesn't
like to leave at home in the icebox,
she should decide whether or not
hers is the type of Office in which
she can buck a convention If it
Isn't, then we'd suggest that she
wear the orchid downtown, take it
OF when she gets to the Office and
put 1t on her desk in glass of water.
Then she can wear 1t again when she
goes home, and she will have enjoyed
1t all day. Surely no one can say
that a girl can't do that. Anyhow,
we'd Just like to hear them say it.

For Girl
In Teens
If She Wants to Use
Powder Buy Her
the Very Best.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

AL1lSLs
AM continuing where We left
of yesterday the mother Of
the three charming daughters grad
uating, respectively, from elementary,
high school snd college, Is still speak
ing -.
Many mothers may feel that Is is
too young to start using powder. Not
so many years ago thought 50 my
self. But I found that youth will
have its fling; and that If young
girl wants bit Of powder, she'll
either borrow it from a friend-and
they don't have very definite scruples
about interchange Of soiled powder
puffs, the young fry-or she'll seek
substitute. Some six years ago the
oldest borrowed from the flower cache.
1t is, therefore, so much better to
treat the Is or 16 year old to box of
powder-a good box, for the young
skin is worthy of only the best. If
you want to flatter young one i'm
mensely, take her to reputable salon
where powder is blended to the indi-
vidual skin, and let them make up q
special box for her"
Powder, then, is my suggestion as
the between elementary school and
high school graduation gift. The
young high school graduate may also
have a colorless lip pomade, color
less eyelash grower to brush on her
lashes; a not-very- intense shade OF
rouge for special events. As rule,
I don't like to see the young girl use
artificial color. I feel that she should
be outdoors enough to have natural
color of her own. But for parties
bit of the synthetic blush can't hurt.
Again stress, however, the impor-
tance of fine quality rouge.
The high school graduate or the
girl of high school age Is very often
troubled with eruptions, blackheads,
pimples. Many mothers make the
mistake of regarding these too lightly.
Many mothers, modern mothers at
that. still feel cit is natural, and you'll
outgrow it." This is fallacy. 1t isn't
natural. And all too often the out
growing process brings permanent
scars and pits. In the meantime, too,
the young girl suffers untold torture
(mostly mentaD, is Inundated and
embarrassed, turns down party dates,
shrinks from the company Of others.
All this may mean a permanent in
feriority complex. It's a serious prob
lem to the young one and the mother
should treat it as seriously.
Hygienic habits, more than ever,
need encouraging. The daily, warm,
scrub bath helps to throw the pores
open, helps the skin to throw of
wastes. Fresh air and exercise stim-
ulates healthy circulation and the
blood stream Is the best healing agent.
A balanced diet with plenty of fruits
and salads and vegetables helps, too,
elimination OF sweets and starches
In excess IS recommended and above
all regular elimination habits are i'm
portant. II your daughter is troubled
with blemished skin, treat her to q
healing cream or lotion, keep creams
on-keep her hands scrupulously
clean "a gift Of bland soap, nail
brush and complexion brush is not
amiss).
Teach her "The Young Girls Beau
ty Rites" (bulletin on request. Please
include a seh-addressed. stamped =
cent envelope).

Milk Is Children's
Drink and Should Be
Given Generously.
Modern Science Institute Photo.
BY ANGELO PATRI.


A LONG about l:ao in the morning
heavy truck rumbles by the
farmhouse The milk truck going
to the city with the children's milk
think happily. Grand that We
have such service for the young
ones. That will get down to the
city in time for their breakfasts,
all sweet and cool and clovery. Lovely
| story, milk"
There are the cows in the meadow
eating. eating all morning. When
the shadows begin to lie on the grass
they walk over to the brook, take 8
long drink. then file slowly, calmly,
evenly as time itself, toward the big
trees along the wall They bend
their knees, lie down and chew thelr
cuds They are making milk for
the children and the children will
drink it not knowing of the sweet
grass and clover, the cool, sparkling
water of the brook, the sun and sky
and the blessing Of God that made it
| especially for them. But they will
drink it and grow, their eyes will
shine and their cheeks will glow, all
because of the milk that flows to them
out Of the fullness Of an infinite
bounty. Milk is the children's own
drink.
Then why do people make such a
mistake as to give child coffee or
tea or beer? These are drinks that
weary adults use to restore their
strength and vigor for a moment.
They can do children 10 good be-
cause they contain no food in them
selves. They are stimulants. and chill
dren have no need for stimulants.
They have within them sufficient en-
ergy TO tire out regiment of men
should it be released upon them. They
create a taste that does a child no
good, but which threatens to do them
harm.
"She wants coffee. No, no, darling.
You don't drink coffee"
"Oh, put little in her milk. It
won't hurt her"
Now why? Why spoil the child's
milk with the grown-ups coffee? It
is fine way to teach the baby to like
conee, but Is that what is wanted?
Few people are so stupid as to want
10 teach q child to drink these stimu-
lants. They believe that what gives
them so much pleasure must give
the infant the same delight. They
want to share good thing with the
child. They cultivate the taste for
the coffee or tea or beer in a child
who would never have thought of
using either Of them If he had been
allowed to drink his milk.
1t is natural for a child to want
TO drink what he sees other people
enjoying. Any child will reach for
anything he sees other folks drinking.
but that is no reason why he should
have 1t. II he is thirsty give him a
orlnk OF water or milk and don't al
low any false sympathy to lead YOU
into giving him something harmful
to drink. And remember, too, that
conee or tea or any form Of alcoholic
drink Is bad for q child.
Milk Is the children's drink Give
1t to them generously. It is food and
drink. and they thrive on it as thew
thrive on no other drink. Stint them
on sweets. pastry, meat, If need be.
but give them their milk. It is their
first and their best drink in infancy.
IN childhood. in adolescence. It is
good even in old age.

me, yet they do not remain that vay
for any great length Of time. I have
never, except once, sincerely returned
any mans affections. Do you think
girl should pretend to really care
1os man rather than tell him the
truth about the way she feels? Would
you advise girl to marry man she
does not care for for the sake Of con-
venience? Would it be fair to the
man? And what chance of happiness
would the girl have? PEG.
Answer-It is always harder to hold
man than it is to get him. And If
any woman has discovered a sure-fire
method for turning the trick she has
kept the secret locked in her own
bosom.
1t is a mystery that every girl
must work out for herself, but II
you have the power to attract men.
but not to keep them, the trouble
must be with your method of handling
them There is something wrong
with your technique, SO have a heart
to-heart session with yourself and
try to find out what is your weak
point
PERHAPS you do not know how to
make yourself interesting to men.
That Is not matter of intelligence
nor education nor even glib tongue.
II Is intuition. 1t is talking to a man
ABOUT the thing that he wants to
talk about. 1t is asking him ques-
tlons about the things that are vital
to him. 1t is listening with an ex-
preston of rapt attention when he
talks and putting the soft pedal on
your own interests.
perhaps you step on mans toes
when you dance, or trump his ace
at cards, and that is the reason he
gives YOU the air. Or maybe YOU
look davdy. Or maybe you drag
your family along when he takes YOU
out. Or maybe you are too posses.
sive in your attitude toward him. Or
you brag about your conquests and
haunt your scalps. and that scares
MN on. Or maybe you are one of
the gimme girls and too expensive
for his pocketbook.
l do not think that any girl should
marry a man unless she is in love with
MN. She can't possibly make him
good wife unless she does. She cam
not be happy herself nor make him
happy, and certainly it is a mean.
contemplate, dishonorable trick for
any woman to play upon a man to
marry him for convenience. For no
man would marry woman unless he
thought she cared for him.
