staunchly behind the Anti-Lynch-
ing bill and every one of their con-
gressmen and Senators voted for
it. Catholic schools, colleges and
Universities are opening their
doors to Negroes and it appears
that Rome has given strict orders
against race prejudice against Ne
groes. There seems to be a ray of
light here.
To the mind of the writer, the
way to interest the Catholic and
the Jew, as groups of people, is to
propaganda among them. If the
Catholics and Jews have neglect
ed the Negro and his problems, it
is equally true that we have neg
lected to cry out against Unjust
ice to them when they are in such
troubles as we often experience.
We are often calling for help; we
will get more help if we give out
a little. Each group yells loudly
when it's toes are tread upon, but
keeps silent when it is the other
groups, except in a few instances.
Let the Negro learn that if he
wants an alliance with others he
must display an interest in their
troubles also.

play. Children loved these schools. Some of them were sublimated playgrounds, kindergartens in long pants, so to speak. All of them fol- lowed the tempting system of "se- lect what you'd rather do, children, for you will learn more that way and be happier"
 Boys and girls of mixed ages couldn't wait for the school bell. They were far better treated than they ever had been, even at home. At least. they could express them selves. They made things, visited around, talked without restraint, and they did at that, learn lot. They learned mostly, alas, exactly what they wanted to learn.
 Out of this hay-wire reformation grew better thing. A modern school with the proteins of the pro- cess left in and the carbohydrates left out. The experimental schools, we must admit, had a salubrious effect upon the public schools. For the first time, interest" and indiv- idual preference and ability were recognized as important facts. but not everything, in education.

the agreeable thing to do, that we can't let go-not yet. And as 1t has been necessary to call a halt, it makes 1t very difficult to convince mothers that a bit of hard work, arbitrary methods and even penal ties are wholesome and normal eX- periences for the mind and the character.
 This quarrel won't be settled until parents get it out of their heads that school must be entirely pleas urable and a comfortable place to hie to; or that 1t is mere background against which Johnny or Susan can shine individually. Also they will have to forget, I fear, that school never can be bent to the shape of each child, but that each child will have to be bent within reason to fit the school.
 School represents life. Not one of us can bend life to suit our pat tern. We have to conform to the possible and the permissible. To learn this fact early is a precious thing. Must it must, and no other word can be substituted.

 After that, you can meet your second, third and fourth choice for a dollar an introduction.
 The young man, Joseph Clawson, at the head of the brand new "1n. troductions by Clawson" got his Idea after spending 0 dull year in New York-the first year after hls graduation from Harvard.
 He didn't think much about the fact that he wasn't meeting the kind of girls he wanted to date more than once, until he talked to Q number of other newcomers - and found that neither did they know any young women to take dancing.
 still the Idea of "Introductions by Clawson" didn't click until on attrac- tive girl told him the reverse was also true.
 The Idea of c clearing house for introductions seemed fairly logical once he had seen the situation as 1t actually exists - Lonesome young women-and no place to meet"
 Clawson doesn't think the recently published advice that Prof. Joseph Kirk Folsom of Vassar College gave young people to make a canvass of social occasions open to them actually works out very well. He tried e number of "socials" given by religious and other organizations for

 He does, however, agree with Prof. Folsom in his contention that there Is real need in modern society for institutions which perform the function of the old-time marriage broker" He agrees-and "Introduc- tions by Clawson" Is proof.
 Don't get the Idea that the girls do oil the choosing in this date bureau. It works both ways.
 And If you're wondering who pays well, the first date may be a Dutch treat, If you prefer 1t that way. But most of the young mon signed up with "Introductions by Clawson" say they prefer to do all the paying.

The woman who iS interested ID the fine details of the subject Of beauty knows that it'S q mistake to try to wear the same makeup with black, blue, mustard yellow and half Q dozen other colors.
 She knows that her skin tones remain the same regardless of the color of her costume, Of course. But that they appear to change. If you doubt this, hold c piece Of scarlet silk against your throat, stand be. fore Q mirror in a bright, sunny room and look carefully at the shade the skin on your face and neck now seems to be. Repeat this examination several times, using Q different color of silk each time. You'll see that purple throws a pur- ple-ish light across your skin, that yellow reflects yellowish tones, and so on.
 Therefore, 1t would be @ poor Idea to wear yellowish red or orange red rouge and lipstick with @ wine or purple dress. The smart idea is to have special makeup for bright or unusual colors, then stick to items which match exactly your natural skin tones when wearing black or gray or white,
 When picking eye shadow (for evening only), you can forget the old rules about this particular prep aration having to match the color of the eyes. Just go ahead and get something that is fiattering, which makes your eyes seem larger, more luminous and the eyelids themselves soft, smooth and satiny. Even though your eyes are brown, it's possible that blue or green eye shadow will be lovely. Or that brown will, if your eyes are blue. Stand in artificial light and try several shades, then decide.
 If eyelids seem very dry, lacking both in oil and moisture, you might put bit of cream or oil on them after face powder has been applied, allowed to set and the excess whisked of.

there is something salutary, vitali- zing or purifying in a fast, espe- cialiy an extremely prolonged fast. I suspect this notion derives from the familiar quack assumption of toxins, poisons or wastes" in the hlood--aYl assumption that has no support in physiology or pathology. Certainly there is no clinical evil dence nor common sense observa- ton that undernourished individu- als have better chance to recover from such an illness as pneumonia than overnourished individuals have. Nor is there reason to be- lieve an individual who by fasting has reduced his weight 10 or % per cent below his normal is physi- cally, mentally or otherwise more competent than he was at normal weight.
 Instead of going to the extreme of fasting, the sensible procedure for one who may have overeaten habitually, is to restrict his intake, particularly of carbohydrates, starches and sugars. For instance, try emitting dessert-which is al- most always just so much excess of carbohydrate anyway.

DON'T FAsT, TAKE TT EAsY

DON'T FAST, TAKE AT EASY
 Correspondent who calls himself "the old Penn Yan nuisance"- meaning that he, too, halls from Penn Yan, and that he writes me now and then suffers with chronic bronchitis, must be in his sixties or older, and reports that he re- gently lasted voluntarily for ten days, and at the end of the fast his lungs seemed clear, cough was gone and he felt in better fettle than in months.
 So now he plans to try a longer fast and he would like to have some general advice from me about 1t.
 Reminds me of Jim Footloose who, through strong pull and fortui- tous resignation of on interne at a time when there were no candi- dates available, was appointed tenn porary interne. Jim had contrived to get through medical school in that way too. One day the attending physician noticed a prescription of Jlm,s which called for dash of strychnine with shot of nux vomica (nux comica Is the drug from which strychnine Is obtained). What's the idea of combining strychnine with nux vomica, in- quired the attending, Jim was as usual equal to the occasion. He flushed red and replied, "Oh, I thought if little is good more Is better"
 To the Penn Yan reader and all others who contemplate fasting my advice Is DON'T.
 Although the public is kept well posted on the progress of the hero or heroine in sensational cases of voluntary fasting, and much Is printed during the course of the fast concerning the marvellous curative effects expected, 1t Is re- markable that nothing whatever gets into print concerning the actu- al outcome, when the affair comes to on end and there Is no longer the sensational side to be played up. Thus the gullible laity does not learn that the malady for which the victim undertook the fast, con- tinues unabated or progresses more rapidly than 1t did before the vi- tality was SO greatly lowered
 It is difilcult to understand where or how people get the notion that
