HEADLINES FROM n LIVES WSE%'
OF PEOPLE LIK YOURSELF ~
'Tropic Hurricane"
BY o GIBBONS
Famous Headline Hunter


IL We have had a lot of stories, boys and girls, about
people who have had close shaves and gotten out OF them
by some fast action, or some quick thinking, or by some
herculean feat of strength. They were great stories, every
doggone one of them. But sometimes l think that men IN
action don't get half the scare that people do who have to
sit quietly and watch death creep up on them while they
are powerless to do anything about it.
That is the sort of yarn we have today, fellow adventurerss-he story
OF Tom Brady of New York city-the story of how he sat, helpless. IN
a strange land, among strange people, while chaos gripped the world and
threatened to tumble it in ruins upon his head.
The story, in short, of a tropical hurricane.
Tom Had Never Seen a Hurricane.
For years, in his role as travelling man, Tom Brady had been jour
neying through the tropical islands of the Caribbean sea, selling goods
and looking over the country. He had heard plenty about the hurricanes
they have down there. He had een wrecked houses, uprooted trees
plenty of the evidences a tropical tornado leaves in its destructive wake.
He had seen the natives kneelng in the churches, praying for divine pro
lection against the dread wind storms they had learned to fear. But
up to the time this story opens-September II, l929-Iom hd never
been caught in a hurricane.
Tom was in the city of Roseau. on the little British island O. Dominica
on September II, 1928. He had been there for about ten days, and was

cloth.
THE lipstick problem at table is
something girl has to face these
days. Sometimes she is sorely tempted
to wipe her lips with the edge of
the tablecloth just so that she won't
get red daubs all over her napkin.
1t takes people longer to discover
lipstick stains on their tablecloths
than on their napkins.
But, uh, uh. Mustn't. 1t isn't
nice.
Still, it isn't supposed to be very
nice to leave red marks all over a
napkin. And it isn't supposed to be
nice to sit through a whole meal
without wiping your lips off once.
So what's girl to do?
Probably hostesses should give up
fine linen entirely and go in for
paper napkins. 1t would be much
more sensible A girl could wipe
her lips without fear, then. She
wouldn't have to do that gentle sort
of daubing that gets her nowhere.
But if paper napkins aren't around
probably a girl with lipStick which
comes off iii the eating. ought to carry
special handkerchief with her to
dinner parties. She could then wipe
her mouth off with her handkerchief.
And Just once or twice during the
meal she could make a gesture with
the napkin, if she felt it necessary.
It's the only way I can figure that
you can keep from running hostess

.DEAR MRS. PosT-Please explain
- more than one way in which a
guest Of honor may repay her hostess
for this special courtesy to her. I
don't think shall be able to give a
party in her honor for some time.
Answer-you can show your ap-
probation by making her any small
gift or sending her flowers on the day
of the party, or by showing her what
ever kindness that happens to come
within your ability. 1t is never neces-
sary that a party be returned with a
party. You can, in the words of the
Boy Scouts, "Do good deed" without
returning favor with one that pre-
cisely matches it.

WHAT in the world is the matter
with you, Tommy"
Tommy stopped bowling long enough
to wall out, You put out the light
and I wanted to put it out"
"All right. There's no need to howl
about it. Put out that one"
mo. I want daddy to put it out" I"
That's silly. Come along to bed"
Il don't want to 60 to bed"
Every we'll. Sit up. We are going
straight to bed" And mother marched
upstairs, leaving Tommy sitting on
the floor whining. As soon as he
heard his mothers bedroom door shut
he was up like and flash and into her
room. Il do want to 60 to bed, but
don't want you to undress me-"
II don't want to undress you. Un-
dress yourself. I'm going to bed"
Tommy sat down on the floor and
pulled of his shoes and one stocking.
Il want you to undress me the rest
"All right. I will. But mind, If
you start fuss III leave you right
where you are and not go back to you.
I'm tired of your nonsense"
I'm not nonsense. I'm tired I
want daddy to put on my pajamas."
mo you don't, young man. have
been listening to you and I'm about
fed up. If I hear another word out
Of you I'm going to spank you. You
make up your mind what it is you
want and get to bed. Quick"
"All right, daddy. I want a drink" p"
Daddy obligingly brought the drink.
mo. Let mother hold the glass. 4"
Right here daddy's patience snapped
and he threw the glass Of water full
in Tommy's face. Tommy gasped
and sputtered and Strengthened up.
His mother put dry pajamas on him
and he climbed into bed. whimpering
under his breath. Mother and father
dropped into bed too exhausted to
say another word. What allied
Tommy?
The first thing that allied him was
that he was dead tired and had little
control Of himself. He. wanted and
wanted, but he didn't know what.
That is what fatigue does to anybody.
Children especially. Then his routine
had been broken. He was accus-
toned to going to bed at and it was
after 10 when he reached home. He
had been on a long motor trip to visit
his grandmother, who was i'll. That
in itself was enough to upset his con-
troll. Then he, at the age Of 3h, was
in the stage Of growth that expressed
itself awkwardly enough in opposi-
ton. He wanted to be a person in
his own right and did not have the
power necessary to carry through.
When you have such a combination
Of troubles the situation Is likely to
be painful for everybody concerned.
The best possible way to handle the
child Is to keep as still as you can,
put him where he is to 60 as promptly
as possible and as gently as you can
manage. Less said soonest mended.
Scolding him won't help, because he
is past hearing or understanding
Just get him to bed.
Then do what you can to maintain
the regularity Of his daily program
Let his negativism fall on stony ears.
you don't want to? Don't" and
busy yourself with other concerns.
That brings him around faster than
anything else. You can't do anything
with . baking child but put him
where he has to 60 and ignore him
for the time being.

Business of
Breathing
Properly
Exercises Must Be
Taken Before an
Open Window.
Bv ELSIE PIERCE,

WE SELDOM think of the simple
business of breathing in rela-
tionship to beauty. We take breath
ing pretty much for granted. be-
cause-well, we all breathe, and that's
that! The fact Is that We humans
are lax even in the matter of BREATH
ing. We don't take deep breaths.
We don't fll our lungs with good.
clean fresh air. We take shallow
breaths. We never worry about STEP
ping up the oxygen content. Yet we
know that the brightness Of our eyes,
the clarity Of our skins, the health
Of that whole system We call the
body depends upon the blood stream,
and the blood stream and oxygen are
kin.
What more do we want than the
assurance of physicians, beauticians.
voice training specialists that there's
right and wrong way even in the
matter of breathing, and that the
right way makes for health. beauty,
a pleasanter voice. firmer throat,
pleasanter disposition. 1t stimu-
lates the appetite, it aids digestion,
it acts as blood tonic.
Try this before wide-open window.
First, breathe out, eXpelling any stale
air left in the lungs Then take a
deep breath. mentally counting up to
seven. Breathe out to the same
count. Repeat dozen times.
Do this slow breathing exercise
when walking in the open air See
how high you can count while you
breathe in and out. Feel your entire
chest cavity filling with fresh ozone.
Isn't it invigorating? Isn't it refreSh-
ing? Make an hours walk a day q
habit. Chest expansion is good and
good for you, and. what is more. it Is
right in line with the spring silhou-
ette
Having mastered the deep BREATH
ing exercise try this for throat firm
ing. Press one finger against one
nostril and breathe in through the
other, so that throat muscles distend.
Hold breath for a second. Change
finger to other side of nose and ex-
hale through opposite nostril. Alter
nate. Repeat 10 times.
