The High Cost of Confidence

 Either MT Willkie doesn't have the right brand of "confdence"-
 Or else all this talk about "confidence" as cure for depression is just plain bunk.

 Warning is given of the growth of race and religious prejudices. Secret organizations will undermine established associations of men and women. American institutions will be insidously affected and an- cient customs relinquished, it is prophesied.
 While i'll omens disturb those who read the future in the stars there are signs of great promise. Splr- itual vision and noble aspiration will be more general than in recent times
 The rising generation will set an example to older men and women whose mistakes will be rectitied by young leaders. Financial obliga- tions will assume greater propor- tions in the consciousness of all classes in the future.
 Taxes will continue heavy in the United States. International cur rency fluctuation may cause ser ious problems.
 Aviation this year is to make amazing progress and a new British air route will be very successful. The United States will gain added fame for airplanes of improved patterns.
 Japan is again to suffer disaster through a hurricane and an earth quake, a London astrologer fore tells. The victories in China are to become boomerangs, if the hor- oscope of the Emperor has been correctly read.

Inquiries on
Foot Care
Increase
Cover the Entire
Nail With Polish
For Best Effect.
By ELSIE PIERCE.


THE number Of inquiries on foot care
are a good barometer Of feminine
interest In this subject, at this season.
What to do about calluses; how to
treat thickening cuticle; what shade
Of nail polish to use; how to overcome
excess perspiration. These are but q
few of the questions but because they
seem to be Of such general interest
I shall answer them here:
Thickening cuticle, particularly If it
has grown down over the nail, may be
q little difficult to work back. Don't
attempt to do it all in single sitting.
And don't soak the nail too long or
the nails themselves as well as the Gu
ticle become softened. Dip small pads
OF cotton in oily cuticle remover, plac-
ing one small pad over each nail and
leave on for three or four minutes.
Then dip cotton-tipped orange stick
into the remover and press the cuticle
back very gently. Rinse and remove
loosened particles Of cuticle with soft
towel. Don't press too hard and
don't work on any more of the dead
cuticle than that which is soft and
pliable. Try again in a day or two.
And in about week most of it will be
we'll loosened and cleaned away.
Very often I am asked for directions
for cutting away calluses." This is
something I definitely do not advise
any one but an expert to do. Remem-
ber that cutting wee bit too deep may
cause q scratch or abrasion Ito say

Dorothy Dix Says
Saying What You Think Often
Leads to Much Distress. .,

our best joke by reminding us that
that is an old one that she has heard
before? Perhaps few Of us are Lily
Ponses or Lawrence Tibbetts, but why
chagrin the maiden and youth who
have consented to oblige by calling
their attention to their sour notes
and the times they went off key?
Why tell fond parents that their In
FAINT prodigies are just plain, ordinary
children. who would probably rate as
morons under anI @. test. Why, in
a world that is full Of grief and
trouble, puncture anybody's little pink
balloons and take away from them
the harmless little vanities that really
make life endurable?
II 1t be lack Of truth and honesty
to refrain from humiliating and
wounding others by not calling atten-
ton to their faults and defects, then
let us cultivate deceit as one of the
major virtues, for. as q philosopher
said long ago, mot even the most
admired and loved among us could
survive if he knew what his friends
and acquaintances really thought
about him."
ONE Of the strange things about the
woman who preens herself on say
ing exactly what she thinks Is that
she never seems to have any kindly
or admiring thoughts about people.
If she thinks you are looking well. or
young, or pretty, or that you have on
an adorable frock, she never mentions
it. Neither does she tell you that
she thinks you have made wonderful
president of a club, or that she doesn't
know how the church would get along
without you. Nor does she ever tell
you what q good, wise mother you
have been and that your children do
you honor. All of her thoughts seem
to be picked in vinegar, with never
a sweet one among them.
And another queer thing about the
woman who is so strong about speak
ing the plain, blunt, honest truth to
people is that she can't stand it when
they give her a dose of her own medi-
cine. She wants to be palavered over
and flattered and have the truth
modified and sugared up before it is
handed to her. She doesn't want to
be treated as she treats others.

The Old Gardener Soys:

Celery plants to supply the late
fall crop may be set out any time
during June. Celery is a moist
ure-loving crop and also one
which demands a rich soil. Un-
less both these conditions can be
supplied, celery will be a doubt
full crop in the home garden. Well
started plants of celery can be
purchased from seed dealers and
growers in most sections of the
country at this time Of year, and
it is we'll to make the purchase
as near home as possible, for the
plants are often damaged when
they have to be transported from
a distance. The roots should be
cut back one-third before setting
the plants in the ground and the
tops may be trimmed somewhat.
1t is not necessary to plant them
in trench. Be sure that ade-
quate moisture is supplied at all
times.

may lead to infection. Again, the oily
cuticle remover comes to the rescue.
Moisten cotton-tipped orange stick in

pummice and gently work away the top

case Of hardened cuticle, be content to
do little each day instead Of digging

When you play with them, play your :
best and hardest.
Modern maids who get around find
boasting boring and juvenile. Also, it
will be just too bad If you lose your
temper, or fail to be a good sport over
the loss Of q game.
Enter all sports for the fun Of play
ing, acting as though you don't care
about the outcome. The games the
thing! That's what is known as play
ing with an air. That's being nom
chalant about 1t all.
Remember that false modesty irks
the girls almost as much as boasting.
II q girl pays you a compliment, ac-
cept 1t and thank her. Don't deprecate.
But If you're really good at some
game, be reticent about your unusual
ability. This will intrigue the girls,
arouse their curiosity, and make them
want to know more. And when they
discover you're captain of the team,
no less, they'll consider you not only
an outstanding athlete but a modest
one as well. Too many athletes talk
constantly of their sport, dragging
it into every conversation and foolishly
believing every one is breathlessly in
terested. Don't become one Of these
bores. Don't let sports, or any one
sport, become an obsession.

she'd much rather just dance and en-

gleam in his eye, he tells her at great
length how he shot a birdie on the
seventh hole. A dance floor is no
place to dramatic getting out of

that. So he isn't nearly so popular as
he might be-
