Two jolly Irishmen, Pat and Jim,
were working in a large fixture
shop on West Fifteenth Street dur

clock showed them late so often that
the superintendent called them into
his office to explain. Pat was called
in first. Jim waited outside and
worried. When Pat came out Jim
inquired how he got along.
Splendid" said Pat; 81 simply
told him to go to Hades."
Fortified, Jim went into take his

Book Reviews
The Life and Death Of
a Spanish Town
By ELLIOTT PAUL
Random House

Because war seems to be one of
the grimmest realities of our shock
ing present, we watch anxiously for
the things that war produces. This
book is one of them. The great
wrongs being done to Spain have
made the laboring classes through
out the world realize that the Span
ish Loyalist government is fighting
a battle that will sooner or later be
forced upon all laboring peoples,
unless they unite to stop it. "The
Life and Death of a Spanish Town"
tells the story Of the coming of that
inhuman warfare to the B~alearic
Islands in the late summer of 1886.
Today one of the Balearics is the
airbase for Mussolini's bombers.
From it black bearers of death go
out over civilian populations of
cities of Loyalist Spain.
Elliott Paul is a novelist and mu-
stefan who made his home in the
town of Santa Eulalia on one of the
Balearic Islands. He was happy
among the music-loving Ibicencos, a
simple, sensuous easy-going people
of racial sturdiness and poetic tenn
permanent. The islanders lived in a
backeddy of time; their life was one
of beauty and rustic charm. AL
though a modern man, possessing
the keen tools and consciousness of
modern intelligence, Elliott Paul
easily made their life his life, and
thought it the richest he had ever
known. He, too, was of poetic tenn
permanent, and sympathetic toward
their codes and standards; and he
soon found he had taken the people
with all of their faults and virtues
to his heart. They had become his
people as u~nalterably as if his blood
had been many generations among
them.
In Part l, like the good novelist he
is, Paul pictures the lives and tradi-
tons of the Ibicencos from ancient
times up to August, 1886. He seeks
to recreate the Ibicenco world in
arrested motion; to make a picture
as if against eternity of the town
that was and never will be again.
His mood is that of a lover recalling
in every exquisite detail the person
and the ~pesonality of the vanished
beloved. Every chapter describing
life and sunshine carries a bitter
f%oreboding of death and darkness.
There r many variations of this
refrain:
ITO Francisco Franco and other
traitors, debtor: One town, complete
with inhabitants and accessories"
The death and darkness is, of
course, the Fascist coup of 1886 that
began the destruction of Spain: here
begins Part II and the real narrative
of the book. Elliott Paul knew that

THIRTEEN-TWO

In our midst we have a Brother,
Many a day he lay in bed;
He got mixed up in thirteen-two
And we all thought he was dead.
AS he lay in his bed a-thinking
And wondering what his fate
might be
He prayed to the Almighty
That again he would be able to
see.
His family suffered in silence,
He was encouraged by his brave
little wife,
But she knew, deep down in her
heart,
That he was disabled for the rest
of his life.
So when working on high-powered
stations
That seem so common to you,
Don't forget your early training,
Beware of thirteen-two.
It's contacts look so innocent,
But in the dark it CLOVIS a light
blue;
Don't forget your early training,
Beware of thirteen-two.

.RARENTS--
 Your ChiMrpn
By Olive Roberts Barton

Mary, Mary quite contrary" is to some mothers more than a line from nursery rhyme. It is an echo of the very real problem of Mary's or Johns contrariness.
 What to do about it? How to meet it? Well, first of all, mother has to look behind the obvious con- trariness for less obvious cause.
 It is usually resentment. And it may be reasonable or unreason- able. A child who is spoiled is likely to become contrary-and so is one who is constantly baked in his de- SireS.
 BOssy One Is Balky
 Where there are two children in family and one is "bossy", the other may become contrary. Es- pecially if his will is almost, but not quite, as strong as the bossy ones Sometimes child develops contrariness because of resentment toward parents who insist on exer- cising their authority beyond the limits of even a child's endurance.
 Usually the pliant child is not plagued by obstinacy. It is the boy or girl with will of his own who gets mulish when frustrated. Such child should be given reasonable leeway to work out his own ideas. If he has some freedom, he is less likely to become problem.
 Often times an obstinate child is very affectionate. For there is more than one side of his emotional na- ture. In that case, the persons to- ward whom he shows affection have a good chance to study his contra riness-and do something to over come it.
 Insecurity Another Cause
 Another cause of obstinacy in children is worry. If a child feels insecure in his home life, if he has been shifted to new and strange surroundings, if his home is filed with trouble and he is governed by quarreling parents, such child will often react to these unhappy condi- tions by putting on show of con- trariness and poor behavior.
 Sometimes the direct cause is playmate. If he is too dominant, the constant irritation of always and eternally giving in to him may breed contrariness.
 Paradoxical as it sounds, one of the best ways to cure baking, be- sides getting rid of the probable cause, is to let the child have his own way occasionally. Give in to him now and then. Just enough to let him feel satisfied that he is not being squelched in every desire.

GRANDFATHER OF ALL BOIL

GRANDFATHER OF ALL BOILS
 A boil is, after all, purely local institution. A carbuncle, on the other hand, is a cosmic event. Whereas furunculus or boil runs its course more or less walled-off or localized, carbuncle spreads about, undermining the skin, and eventu- ally destroying considerable area of tissue, if not the life of the vic- tim.
 Some of the practical hints for the management of boil apply as well to the management of carbuncle as far as either may be amenable to self or home treatment.
 1. Sometimes the trouble may be aborted if the first redness, irrita- tion or soreness is immediately painted with tincture or iodin- once today and perhaps once again tomorrow.
 2. Often the best treatment is immediate incision (by the surgeon) and drainage, as soon as rubor, dolor and tumor (redness, pain and swelling) appear.
 3. If such radical treatment is not employed, then good conserva- tive treatment is the application of hot moist saline antiseptic com- presses, retained by bandage. That is, dozens of layers of gauge wet in solution of one tablespoonful of citrate of soda and two tablespoon fuls of plain table salt in quart of hot water, to which is added also two teaspoonfuls of boric acid. This accomplishes all that a poultice can, but does not favor the multiplica- tion of pus-producing germs. Such dressing is actually more draw 1 ing" than anything grandma ever knew. It gives relief from the ten sion, throbbing or pain, and also promotes drainage.
 4. Rest and general tonic treat ment.
 Instead of a "core," necrotic or dead tissue at the center, a car- buncle has more or less extensive slough with numerous openings through the overlaying skin. The pdul O1 CdIDuIlClc IS severe, llkG molten lead poured over the spot or huge claw embedded in and dragging on the skin. Also there is usually considerable systemic sepsis ! or blood poisoning with it, causing great prostration, weakness, chills, fever and in some cases fatal ex- haustion. Hence the importance of complete rest and tonic, supporting or constitutional which can be intelligently managed only by the attending physician who un- derstands the individual require mentS.
 AS a rule the best course for car- buncle is confinement in bed and constant application of hot moist antiSeptic congresses (not poultice) and early incision for drainage when the attending physician con- siderS it necessary.
 For relief of the pain of carbuncle acetyl salicyclic acid (aspirin) seems more effective than the narcotics and is comparatively safe when the patient remains in bed.

The truly chic woman chooses
 lipsticks, compacts and other pocketbook paraphernalia with an eye toward her mode of life and the clothes in her wardrobe. Of course, they must suit her skin and be made by manufacturer whose products she likes. But she doesn't carry just any old lipstick in an evening bag, while handsome, rhinestone studded number goes to the golf course with her.
 One of the smarteSt lipSticks for sports comes in solid walnut case with a shiny copper base. And one of the most charming evening sets includues two half size lipsticks in half-size cases-one of solid ebony, the other of solid ivory - and both finished with a circlet of tiny rhinestones at the base. The black one is for formal afternoon and to carry when you wear dinner clothes and he wears a black tie. The ivory goes with your most formal gown.
 Also for afternoon is full size Ipstick in a gold and ivory case, shaped like fluted Greek column. And for the gay and frivolous or for one who likes bright touches with black costumes, a pa triotic number with red base, white center and blue top.
 With the muted pastel or soft print you're wearing now under your fur coat, you might consider a fat lipstick with case in alternating stripes of pastel enamel and gold. There are compacts to match these.
 For the south or to give some one who likes the south but can- not get there this year, there arc sleek enamel compacts and match ing cigarette cases with pictures of palm trees, broad eXpanses of beach and rolling waves in colored enamel across the top. And pretty tortoise shell catalin ones with shiny gold hinges. These are transparent, so you always can tell how much pow der you have or how many cigarets are left.
