Household Hints
Doll TuesSHH Good M BL1ck and Color
sY MARIAN YOUNG

BY MARIAN YOUNU (NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 New York. - The pre-fan hat story is an exciting, spectacular, widely diversified one indeed. With same models tiny, some high, some wide, but all handsome, there's the right hat to suit every face and every fancy.
 No modiste worth going to will say-"Now small hats are smartest, SO you'd better take one whether you like 1t or nit" Or-"Wide brims are a must, you know"
 She'll show you fine assort- ment of doll hats, wide-brimmed numbers, some with exaggeratedly high crowns, new versions of the beret, tricorne pillbo,x and toque. She will urge you to consider col- or in your new hat before you de- eide definitely to take a black one after all. Experts agree that hats in wines, greens, dark gray, rusts and blues will outshine plain black.
 One smart milliner is showing a huge, soft green velvet scarf with green velvet turban. And another features a cuff turban of stone blue felt with matching gloves.
 Also attention-getting, are scarlet suede gloves with a simple, wide brimmed black felt hat that has a scarlet feather in the peaked crown.
 Trimming Is Important Trimming is all important with ostrich, chenille e-dotted wells, jew eIled effects, wings (for added height) and velvet ribbons used lav- ishly. The towering Prince of Wales plumes vie with the long, trailing plumes of the 1900s, em- phasizing the high movement or else creating it.
 Many of the high-crowned ver- sions appear to have been inspired by Oriental headgear. Others are Robin Hood-ish. The former have thick, square or corrugated brims which evoke the turbans of "A Thousand and One Nights" espec- ially when the pointed cone crown is entirely covered with jewel ca- bochons.
 Berets are scheduled for suc- cessful season. They will be shirred and embroidered beyond recogni- tion but they will still be berets And a beret always is soft, easy to-put-on affair. The newest have a visor shading the eyes and are rather smallish.
 Turban toques belong to the Ori- ental variety and are also sure to be important. These, as well as be- rets, will be done in luxurious vel 1 vets. And that old favorite, panne velvet, is coming in again.
 Cocktail hats (the French call these "coiffures"D have an equally wide range of influence. The medi- eval "hennin" in chiffon or sheer velvet, with long streamer winding around the neck, is talked about a good deal. Contrasting are absurd little bonnets, like those which Vic- torian ladies wore about the house, in velvet as they were then. But these are meant to be perched a shade more jauntiy than they were in those days. And, of course, doll hats, made entirely of velvet flow CTS or velvet with little birds for trimming, are smart.

GlorUying Yourself
 m A1s-s YY~A

(NEA Service Staff Writer)
 A new coiffure, a new lipstick and a new hat are just about the best cures in the world for that nobody likes-me feeling which is likely to catch up with any woman when August weather is hottest and stick fest. This is one time when she can just go ahead and put all read a-good-book or search-for-a-phil- osophy advice aside until she has the hat, the hair-do and the lip stick.
 All of which seems like a pretty frothy idea, no doubt.
 However, unless she's quite un- usual, an improvement in her ap- pearance will lift any woman's spirits out of the doldrums more quickly than hurriedly conceived intellectual self-improvement cam paign. That can be taken up a little later.
 If the fact that the Man of the Moment has walked out of her life is the cause of her -what's-the- use attitude, the sooner she gets the hat and the lipstick the better. Knowing positively that you look your best is a lovely little antidote for hurt pride And it's hard work to hold on for very long to an ex- pression of martyrdom about the eyes if the hat atop your head is bewitching and you know 1t.
 Eat Sparingly
 If you know good and well that you are more than likely to have during the next couple of months few spells of depression, brought on by nothing more serious than hard work and torrid weather, why not work out system whereby you can nip them in the bud? The per feet solution may turn out to be nothing more complicated than having your supper on a tray in bed, then turning of the lights at nine and sleeping for ten or eleven hours one night. Or going to a swimming pool instead of to a movie. Or drinking only fruit juice and eating only crisp, green salads for one entire day.
 Incidentally, one good rule for mental, physical and emotional well-being during the hot weather is to eat only when you are hun- gry. Don't let anyone tell you that you ought to force down food just because it happens to be mealtime. And do eat lightly. but don't try to subsist on cold dishes only. Have something hot with each meal, re- gardless of the time you eat it.

RAISING A rAMlIl.Y
Planned Play Will Win Friends And Influence People For The Timid Child
By Olive Roberts Barton

The Smiths are new neighbors. At the old place Gladys had had some good friends. She wasn't shy with them. She felt as important as any, body. But here the children had closed congress. And union made them cruel, more cruel than they were individually.
 Cousin Carolyn was also victim of inferiority. She was just as sensi- tive as Gladys, but she was smart CT. She had learned about people. You had to impress them. And above all, you must never let them know you felt afraid.
 Pretending Independence
 She asked her aunt to hook the hose with spray over the limb of a tree. Then both children got into their bathing suits. It wasn't long until other children drifted by pre- tending not to see. Next Carolyn got sheet and made it into a clothes line tent under the shower. While the tenants were cooling of inside they had lemonade and cakes. It was peculiar how much business the neighbor girls had in this vicinity If they wanted to call they could call.
 They did. Mary and Rebecca were standing by the porch smiling. Said Mary, "Hello,." Carolyn was tempted to say, Hello, won't you come and play?" But she just said, Hello" And went on munching cakes.
 Next day found the whole kit and caboodle of the snooty ones gath ering as clan on the Smith porch. Lets have dress-up party in our yard" invited Mary.
 Mother, don't try to force your strange child on others, unless you back her little and show some in

 Answer = Dropping medicaments in the nose may be dangerous in the case of an infant If the solution is in mineral oil (petrolatum) have heard of no i'll effects from the use of such drops if the oil is pure brand vegetable oil. Mineral oil (petrolatum) is always foreign substance and cannot be absorbed in the body.

 Answer = One-half ounce oil of citronella (tablespoonfuD; two tea poonfuls spirits of camphor; two teaspoonful cedar wood oil; enough white petrolatum to make two ounces of salve. Melt the petrola- tum, then add other three ingred- tents and stir well. Put in jar and cool rapidly by standing in a closed jar in cold water. Apply a little to exposed skin when needed. Use as brilliantine on hair if you do not wish to apply it to face. One application repels the varmints for hours. ,.4

UNDILUTED ICED DRINKS

Clipped ice or ice cubes produce the desired degree of frostiness for the cooling drink, but sometimes dilute the beverage to such a point that the actual flavor is impaired. Colored glass balls that fit into the freezing unit of your electric refrig- orator thoroughly chill the drink and are mighty attractive too. As the liquid inside the glass balls melts, the drink is chilled. They may be used over and over-merely wash after each using and replace in freezing tray.

So You're Not Immune?

So You're Not Immune?
 In April flfty-two interstate bus tourists contracted typhoid fever and six deaths occurred, all from drinking water from a contamin- ated well in a swall town where the bus stops long enough for passen- gers to get meal.
 It was discovered by the health authorities that the well from which the contaminated water came had been infected by leaking sewer which passed near the well pit. The health authorities are still trying to trace the original source of the infection-presumably some person who had typhoid fever and who was not properly cared for; or pos- sibly a healthy person who is a ty- phoid "carrier."
 Some of the victims were from New York, some from Ohio. some from Illinois, some from Califor- mia. It is not unlikely that there may have been other cases from the same source which have not been recognized-either cases of illness not diagnosed as typhoid, or cases of typhoid where the source of in- lection is not suspected. Since it takes two or three weeks for the illness to begin after infection has occurred, many passengers infected by the contaminated well water will have arrived at their destination and forgotten the bus trip by the time they come down with the fever.
 Among the recommendation made by the health authorities in the state where the infection occurred are these:
 l. Establishment of full-time public health units with adequate personnel to inspect all semipublic water supplies.
 2. Strengthening of the laws re- garding the inspection of water SUD- plies.
 3. Regular inspection and grad ing of sanitation and water SUD- plies of restaurants and other eat- ing places.
 4. Searching inspection of all in- terstate bus eating places.
 While we are at it, perhaps 1t would be boon for public health if some sort of halfway sanitary regulations were imposed on ALL places where food is sold to be con- sumed on the premises. Far too many such places today are shame lessly without even primitive facili- ties for washing the hands; and far too many eating-places having the implied if not the expressed ap- proval of the local health authori- ties, subject customers to plague of flies and the unsanitary condi- tions that attract and breed flies.
 Tourists, travellers by any means, vacationists, have just one reason- able assurance against infection with typhoid and related diseases: They may be immunized.
 If one must drink questionable water anywhere, it is well to add a drop or two of tincture of iodin to the quart of water, shake it up and let 1t stand IS minutes before drink ing.

IT SEEMS to us that the superior
position of dummy as compared
with the other players has never
been fully appreciated. As long as
dummy has acquitted himself rea-
sonably well in the bidding (thus
removing the possibility of snappy
comebacks by the other players, he
has innumerable advantages. To wit:
Plenty OF time to relax and think up
caustic comments on both his oppo-
nents' defense and his partners play
of the hand; the opportunity to look
at the other players hand so as to
be sure his criticisms will be correct;
and the double advantage of being
able to catch his opponents In q re-
woke but save his partner from the
same fate provided he has not looked
at the opponents hand). Here is q
hand on which dummy was the only
player to show to advantage.
