 For q time, in the developing stage of the new method, I was glad to name urologi8tS here and there who are skilled in the method, when cor respondents asked for such infor- mation. Today every urologiGt or genito- urinary disease specialist who is capable of treating bladder trou- bles at all is familiar with the mod crn method whether he himself uses it or not.
 Speaking as or Doc Brady, who, I hope, will remain gentleman if, as and when, if I asked my specialist about tran8urethral rcsection and he disapproved of 1t I'd grab my hat (1guratiVcly, of course, as I have none to Rrab) and hurry away from such quaint place.

 With upswcpt cultures becoming more popular by the minute, ears-- for the first time in years-are in the spotlight again. This is indeed the time to resolve to stop letting your beauty treatments stop at tha hairline.
 Get into the habit of placing the towel or makeup band you tie on to protect your hair behind your ears instead of in front of them. Then scrub ears with soap and water each time you wash your face. This will give the man-alive look which they may lack now. In addition, cleanse them with cream whenever you use cleansing cream on your face. And don't skip them when it comes to skin tonic or night cream or whatever.
 If your ears are larger than you wish they were, try powdering them with powder about two shades darker than your regular face powder. Don't be tempted to rouge their lower edges, wear ear- rings or do anything else that will draw attention to their size If they are large enough to be all out of proportion to the rest of your fea- lures or if they stick out enough to be really conspicuous. just for get about upswept coiffures. And figure out a hairstyle that looks new and in tune with the upswept trend but which does cover up your ears.
 Don't ignore new fashions, of course, and keep on wearing your hair the same Lld way year after year, but don't go to the other extreme and go in for new style that is unbecoming.
 Remember that your makeup and your coiffure are supposed to dramatize your own personal nat ural beauty. Learn to be up-to- d" te but at the same time truly yourself

By RUTH MILLETT

"Only older women can wear shorts on the streets of Monticello" the towns psychology conscious mayor recently decrced.
 The good mayor, banking on his knowledge of women, hopes that shorts will suddenly lose their ap- peal for Monticello women old and young alike.
 He probably hopes that the de- cree will have as successful results as the New York theater mana gers thoughtful suggestion - "Old ladies need not remove their hats. "
 The same kind of psychology might be used to advantage on other points. Beaches could be rid of the unesthetic sight of men wearing only trunks as If a sign something like this were stuck about in conspicuous placcs-"Only anemic men who need the sun may go with out tops to their swim trunks"
 Department stores could reedu- cate the hordes of women who say Send 1t please" when they make d fifteen cent purchase if there were signs about the store rcading-"If you have a car at your disposal, will you please take your small pur- chases with you?"

COVERING AND WRAPPING
 AIDS FRESHNESS

Modern methods Of refrigeration and food storage have reduced food spoilage in the home to minimum. Keep as much refrigerated food as possible in covered containers. Wrap cooked meat in waved paper to pre- serve its freshness and flavor. Keep vegetables in the hydrator or wrap ped in waved paper to keep them fresh and crisp and to prevent their odors being absorbed by other foods. Waxed paper can now be purchased extra long and crack-resistant be- cause doubly waxed, and in . con- venicnt package with saw-tooth- cd edge so that just the right size you require can be quickly and easily cut.

Beverly is lonely. Good times seem to pass her by. The little bridge that connects human beings in everyday life is missing in her case. Though eager to be friendly, she shows forbdding face. Would be friends hesitate to ask her to join them, though they'd do it in minute if she wore a cheerful smile.
 Because she is so sensitive, she often feels Slightcd. Too bad she doesn't realize that other boys and girls are merely casual and don't mean to hurt her.

Attention! ForWard-March!"
 Of course, in the children's case there is difference. Nothing Wrings q mothers heart like watch ing the cruel and memorable ther- mOmeter tell the fearful news. She makes VOW never to speak a sharp word to Junior or Mary again.
 Well, let us sec. We have to handle this without too much emotion, and look at 1t as a prob- lem rather than heartache.
 Tedious Illness Is Problem
 The average illness is Of com parativcly short duration. Tn this case there is little chance that humoring a patient hurts him permanently. l wouldn't bother too much about his crankincss or lazine8S until he, or she, is strong and well. But then, if things go on and there is no attempt at im- proVemcnt, some gentle disciplin- ing will have to be restored to without much doubt.
 But our really serious problem concerns the child who has slow and tedious illness. There are 80 many poor little patients who face months and even years of inValadigm. One child specialist confcsses that his hospitals great est problem, almost, is keeping up the morale of chronic patients to prevent them from being discour- aged through inaction.
 The way. then, seems 10 be clear, doesn't 1t? If the chronic invalid at home Is permitted any ezertion or thrill at all, his days should contain enough casl inter csts to keep him happy and safely occupied. These pleasures. should represent the things he dreams

STREAMLINED IRONING

Long hours ironing in a hot kitchen can be reduced by first fold- ing and smoothing the pieces as they are removed from the line and sorting out those which re- quire no dampening. Stack the flat pieces, such as towels. sheets, dishtoWels, and lisle underwear, which need only ironing at the hems or on the outside. Turkish
 towels need no pressing at all. The balance of the laundry which needs dampening and more thorough ironing will seem amazingly small.

NEED A GENTLEMAN BE A
 MARTYR?

Please allow me to thank you, writes southern reader, for the ar ticle you published about July l, 1896, on prostatic obstruction" (Probably one on Prevention of Proetatism" released July g, 1886, from which I quote briefly:
 The introduction of electro-surgcry in this field has met with the same blind intolerance as did diathermy extirpation of tonsils and ambulant
 injection) treatment of hernia. But in spite Of the hypothetical objec- tions raised by the old time surgeons the modern method has established itself on firm footing. No old man today need become nuisance 10 himself and to other by reason Of this Wretched bladder trouble. Here Is relief for him, gentle, safe, cffi- cient, practically painless, and with out the necessity of prolonged con- finement in a pitifully helpless state.
 'I was in bad condition and the doctors here never mentioned the method you spoke Of, only urged the open operation. After reading your article I went to a doctor in Ohc next statc) in which I had conf dence. After an examination he told me surgery was very necessary. then asked him about the method you described and he recommended it highly. He also recommended specialist in my own state who was one of the best. I went at once 10 Dr. - rthe specialist who did the tranSurethral prostate rc8cctlOn as you described, and in 10 days was ready to some home and have not had a minutes trouble since.

 A special trailer has been con- structed and fitted with shelves to ho)5 1900 books. It will travel ab eut the city, like an ice cream wagon, with bell to herald its approach.
 If anyone wants book he just runs out to the curb halls the driver and the library stops long enough for him to select one. In- side the ''perambulator," with the books, is space for the desk of a librarian.
 In addition to travelling about various neighborhood streets. the trailer will be parked on certain days in parks and on busy inter sections. If the first trailer is a suc- cess, others probably will be built

proposal was advanced to require Congressmen to pay income taxes based on the amount of time they spent here That also was out.
 District taxpayers are bit hot under the collar about that since the congressman don't pay income taxes in their home states either on their Federal salaries.
 Last year Congress tackled a business privilege tax on local merchants. The merchants could not very well pass it directly on to the consumers, so now there is pressure to replace it with sales tax which the customers would pay.
 But Congressmen, in voting taxes for the district, have to keep their skirts clean Sales taxes are not popular out in the states, and the members don't want to be caught voting for one for the District.

INDIAN CHIEF
 COMPLAINS OF
 WHITEWATER
Nearly One Hundred Fort Yukon Indians Protest
 Encroachment

Chief Ezias Loola and nearly hundred native trappers in the Fort Yukon area have lent their voices to the mounting cry Keep the drift ing white trapper off the Indian hunting grounds
 The venerable chief sent peti- ton 10 the Alaska Game Commis- sion citing three reasons why the newcomer trapper' has become a menace to Alaska's fur and Alas kas natives.
 The chief recommends that all country above the Yukon River be closed to white men.
 First, the chief wrote. We have noted steady decrease in fur in the last 10 years and it has gotten to the point where we barely make a living for ourselves and families. y
 Secondly, the chief said, The white man is taking airplane and going to outlying fur districts that have heretofore been serving as game and fur reservoirs for the more ac- cessible areas. That the Indian can- not do, but while he traps his old grounds, the fur on the breeding grounds are being eXterminated.
 Thirdly, "The drifting white man trapper does not care how he hunts and he takes all he can take, and if something is not done about him soon. we Indians will no longer be self supporting people
 The petition was substantiated by several white men friends of the Indians.
 Executive Officer of the Alaska Game Commission Frank Dufresne today said that the Commission s belief that perhaps a three-year residence in the Territory might be necessary for man before getting a resident trapper's license, has taken hold and that the Territorial Chamber of Commerce is planning referendum throughout Alaska The proposal will then be sent to Alaska Delegate Dimond in Wash ington.
 Tt is this newcomer in Alaska that we are making most of our fur regulations for said Dufresne We don't have trouble with the sourdoughs or the Indians for the most part. They take only enough fur for grubstake.
 We had man complain to the Commission that for 10 beaver he could not afford to pay his plane fare into certain trapping re- zion. We had to tell that man it was for him we had set that limit his type of trapper. Those ten bea- yer, for example will give a pros- pector or an Indian subsistence money for a good period of time and it is they, after all, who are building up and settling the coun- try"

Congressnlen cry on the one hand for the District to produce a Dewey like New Works to rid the city of the numbers racket, and the District citizens cry for the vote so they can select their own law enforcement agencies. In turn they demand more money from the government to pay police men. The present officers, the Dis trict insists, spend much of their time policing streets where the Pres ident is to drive, or in herding the protest narchers who are forever moving on the city.
 And Congressmen retort that Washington has a billion dollar in- dustry with steady payroll where the workers never strike, and what more could a City want?
