NEW YORK LET'S CAT OUT
 OF BAG

"A cold is never really just a cold" says a news bulletin dis tributed by the New York State Medical society (of which the con- ductor of this column is member and the accuracy of which infor- nation is vouched for by the Sc- ciety. It is an infection which may be any one of several kinds, usual ly contracted from friend who sneezes or coughs at us"
 There I venture to say the bull letin of the New York Medical so- ciety is far from accurate. The in lection that masquerades as a cold, by and with consent of the working majority of the medical profession, is probably as frequent ly caught from a stranger as frcm an acquaintance or friend, and in nine cases out of ten, at least among intelligent, polite people, it is probably caught from the con- versational spray, not from open- face coughing or sneezing. Haven't the big noises of the organized medical profession in New York state learned yet that it is only the ignorant and unteachable surely not ones friends-that cough or Sleeze in ones face?
 Or is there SCme nuarce of meaning too subtle for mo to dis cern in the candid admission that "A cold is never really just 8 cold y? Probably there is. I never could understand what the old fo- gies are talking about when they sound off, as they do year after year, about "the common cold Can anybody understand 'em, l wonder?
 AS nearly as I can learn, 'cold' is something slick doctor implies the patient is coming down with until the nature of the illness be- comes apparent to anybody by that time the patient will have for gotten how the doctor finagled at the first visit.
 The difference between open face coughing or sneezing and or dinary conversation is matter of range and size. The mouth or nose spray given off during coughing or sneez1ng may carry as far as ten

Etiquette Paves Way To Gay

What kick to take Nathalie or days outing! She's practiced the smooth gracious ways that put a man at ease until they're second nature to her.
 Chattering merrily, she steps to one side to let Dick show his good breeding by opening the car door fol her.
 When they meet Dorothy and Jack at the country club for lunch Nathalie doesn't enter the dining room clinging poSsessively to Dick S arm. She and Dorothy follow the head waiter, the two men bring up the rear.
 And when they wind up the day at the movies, they seat themselves Jack. Dorothy, Nathalie, Dick - the girls in the center, the men on each side.
 Don't guess at etiquette. Little things-like accepting compliments gracefully, knowing that it's the girls place to end telephone con- sation, say when it's time to gc home-rate you socially.

 HollyWood-The talkie village has so many variously honored, that a Who's Who in Hollywood couldn't possibly keep an accurate check on them. For one reason, the people themselves often can't remember the special commissions and degrees they hold.
 Shirley Tempe IS among these. Indeed. she heads the list. Shirley is captain of the Santa Monica police force, battalion chief of the Los Angeles fire department. spe- cial deputy sheriff of Los Angeles County-and her tiny automobile. with top speed of eight miles an hour. is officially registered in the service of the sheriff.
 She's a colonel in the Hawaiian National Guard, a Kentucky colonel (of courSe), captain in the Texas Rangers and mascot of the Chilean navy, with special uniform sent her by the president.
 Also she's the official World Peace Child, Hawaii's Adopted Sweetheart, and is a junior G-wo- man-only G-woman in the ma ton. J. Edgar Hoover likewise commissioned her-with kiss, I believe-the Sweetheart of the G. men.
 There are nearly 100 Kentucky colonels in Hollywood. from Mae West to Sally Eilers' small son, Poochy. Due to the bounty of for mer Coy. Ruby Laffoon it's safe to address almost anybody you meet, of either sex, as Colonel"

 Of course the learned gentlemen who issue the press bulletins from the N. Y. medical organization headquarters know all this as well as do.

"Men like women in bright colors," |" one woman said.
 No, men like women in dark colors with bright touches" the other woman added.
 Don't you mean that all men like all women to look nice?" This from the man in the group. How neatly he summed it up - for all men DO like al women 10 look nice.
 And he meant, of course, that if what you have on is becoming to you, really points up your best features and plays down your mad ones, then it is right for you. No need to worry apout what Garbo is wearing this season or wish that you had a copy of the dress that some other motion picture star wore in picture. Stick to what enhances your own personality. There are no hard and fast rules, but even if there were, smart women would find a way to twist the rules to suit them selves.
 And he meant, too, much more about posture, perfect grooming, meticulous cleanliness and dainti- ness than he perhaps realized.
 Men want women to look nice. This means soft, shining hair - perhaps not dressed in any one of the latest, extreme fashions, but clean and glowing and neat. Men hate untidiness in woman. It means, too, clean, carefully pressed clothes, fresh underwear and stockings every morning, rustless hats, spotless blouses and gloves, polished shoes and straight hemlines. Also frequent use of de- odorants, a depiiatory, a mouth wash.
 They want our appearance to be worthy of attention. But they don't want our appearance to be atten- tion-getting. They hate bizarre effects nails too red and too pointed, perfume poured instead of gently sprayed on, clattter of metal bracelets when we move an arm. They like jewelry and perfume and neat manicures, but they don't want us to overdo the ideas. They want us to look nice "a word which, according to Web ster, means "exacting in matters of taste, fastidiouS".

any number of reasons. Or perhaps he thinks everybody is too busy to pay much attention to him. May be he has been handed over to some kody to be taken care of, and thinks he doesn't count. Maybe he really doesn't get much loving Or atten- tion. Maybe he has been naughty, and feels the disgrace.
 Not only small children, as I have said, but older ones, and grown men and women, who really should know better, often play for attention by miSbehavior. Permit me to say it can get beyond self help and become an obSeSSion.
 Urge for Prestige
 It is bad 10 coddle the little child and feed his greediness for atten- tion to Sat!ation, if there is such a thing. But on the other hand he needs to feel that he counts in the general scheme of things. He should learn nice balance of everyday life, but he needs his share of love.
 Many cures of this play-for-a tentlon motive are worked by giving the little child better place in af- fairs. He would rather have love and appreciation to bolster his natural pride than to resort to any outland- ish methods of his own. He really would prefer to respect himself. However, if he is chronic de- mander, and wants more than his share of limelight, if he has nor nal home and decent, kindly treat ment, I am not sold too completely on trying to reclaim him by round- about methods.
