Sound Advice
If Planning
Vacation
The Family Doctor
Should Check Up
On Your Health.
By ELSIE PIERCE.

You'll want to get into the trim
before getting into the swim, of
course. That means not only re-
ductng II you need to, where you
need to. but in addition it is well
to have q physical check-up. This is
particularly advisable if you plan to
spend the summer at a distant noun
tain or shore resort or camp Even if
there is to be a physician in the
vicinity, you probably prefer to have
your own family doctor give you a
clean bill Of health. Have a dental
check-up, too. This double check-up
is recommended for children prepar-
ing for camp. It is just as sound
advice for adults.
It is source of real satisfaction to
know that you are At; that heart and
lungs are perfect so that you are per-
mitted to swim and exercise; that you
are in good health because, before all,
that is the essential ingredient for
have a good time"
That done. you'll want a beauty
check-up, too. You ought to have a
permanent, and If you are contem-
plating one soon, the first step is to
get your hair in good condition. The
healthier the hair, the greater the
chances for a permanent wave.
You'll want waterproof makeup,
rouge that won't melt, powder that
will keep, mascara that won't run or
smudge, lipstick that will remain in
delible.
You'll want a superfiuous hair re-
mover for use under arms, on legs
and arms.
You'll want . deodorant or nom
spirant.
You'll want sunproof preparation,
Of course
And sun glasses.
You'll want your toes pedicured and
tinted to match your fingertips; you'll
want your corns and callouses re-
moved. So, start Immediately to get
yourself in trim, because there are
quite q few details to attend to be-
fore you really get into the swim of
summer fun

Manners
of the
Moment

WITH soda fountains, bars, race
track fences and all the other
things girl stands up to these days
she has to keep her mind on her pose.
It's easy to get into the habit of
lounging against these public leaning
posts. The men have done it for gen.
erations and now the girls think
it's their turn.
And it Is, too. But lolling ungrace-
fully Is not worth while. It places you
in the comic role instead Of in the
lead. And you prefer the lead, of
course.
Lolling gracefully takes practice. It
can't be learned in day. You must,
for example, train yourself not to
stand on your ankles when your feet
hurt. And not to lean heavily on
your elbows when that forces your
hips into sort Of camels hump. And
not to plant your feet far apart, nor
yet to tie them up with each other in
bow knots.
OF course, neither do you want to
stand like q 1904 melodrama queen.
There is. though. q happy medium Of,
eesy-going grace. / don't know the
recipe. But why not get in front OF
= mirror and figure it out for your
selff

Avoid Direct
Attack on
Silence
Fright Will Cause
Children Not to
Talk in Public.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

HE teacher is going to leave Harold
back this term, in kindergarten
because he will not speak. He has not
said word in class all term At home
he talks plenty. He is bright. He has
good vocabulary, but he simply re-
fuses to open his mouth before strang-
ers or in school. We have punished
him every way we know how. He
promised to talk in school, but when
the time came he would not speak
What is going to be done about it is
more than can see. And he Is going
to be left back in kindergarten while
his companions are promoted"
This child is years old. He is in
telligent and he does his work we'll ex-
cept for oral recitation. He has been
punished continually because he does
not recite. His mother thinks he Is
stubborn; that is, she thinks he has SET
his will against hers and that Of the
teacher and will not talk.
That is not true. Fear prevents the
child from talking For some reason
he was afraid to speak when he got
to school. Some children are Frightened
to find themselves among 50 many
other children and grown people They
have lived alone, in the close family
circle. and suddenly are surrounded
by strangers. Other children are afraic
to make a mistake, so they keep still
II anything is said or done to frighter
the child still more he is strengthened
in his desire to hide himself behind
silence. Furnishing such q child /.
about the worst thing that can be
done.
From the beginning he must be en-.
couraged to believe he is among
friends. Say nothing at all abou
talking. Call on him: smile at hin
kindly; pass on. Assign a friendly
motherly little girl to look after hi.
comfort. She will talk lot to him
and pretty soon, if they are let alone
he will talk to her.
The teacher must 60 out Of her way
to make him feel friendly to her, anc
to get him to feel her friendliness to-
ward himself. If she pats him on the
shoulder as she passed him, stops at
his seat and says word Of encourage
ment or praise relating to his work, he
will soon be watching her face, waiting
for her appearance, hanging on her
every word. That means that he will
soon be talking to her And If now and
then she bends down to his ear and
whispers some happy little nothing to
him, he will soon whisper back, and
feel happy because of the close in
timacy and friendship the exchange
gives him. Talk soon follows that
whisper.
It is best to avoid direct attack on
this sort of silence. Wait for conf
dence; works for it. Say nothing about
talking or not talking. Let the little
girl helper win his confidence first
The teacher will soon succeed If she
establishes friendly relationships. II
she makes the mistake of centering
on the silence it will grow stronger
because the child learns that he is do
ing wrong and that he is being pun
shed for that wrongdoing. That feeds
his fear. Help him to forget his trouble
and the fear dies.

MAKE your dance programs in the

You have an ideal setting for a
floor show: A pickaninny tap dance,
nanny song, a quartet singing
Stephen Foster songs and minstrel
turn or two. And perhaps q dance
team, in costume, gracefully doing
the dances popular in the Old South
years ago. All of these numbers will
fit into the setting perfectly and add
to the colorful atmosphere.
The refreshments can be served by
boys dressed as darky butlers-in min
strel black, tail coats and white gloves.
The refreshments themselves should
be iced drinks served in tall, frosted
glasses. Little cakes or cookies will
go well with the liquid refreshments.
When the dance is over have all
the men present sing Good Night,

just as final, gallant touch.

house dress that's cool and
easy to work in, and slenderiz-

freshment and cleanup. Don't over
look the last one because it's import
ant, too. All the committee people
labor under q dance chairman, whose
main job is to supervise the hard
work invariably necessary.
The orchestra needn't be expensive
and it isn't at all important to hire
. large one to make the evening a
success. Three or four instruments,
played cleverly, can provide plenty Of
swing.
IF THERE is stage available which
can be easily used, turn it into
the porch Of an old Kentucky home.
Ask the orchestra to appear in black
face and minstrel costumes and park
1t on the porch. A few white pillars
(made Of wallboard painted cream
white), a climbing trellis or two of
real or artificial flowers, with porch
steps and perhaps a stage back drop

the desired porch effect.
If there isn't a stage available for

from the dancers with a white picket

We like to think that when men and
women get married they do so with the
determination that they will love and
cherish each other as long as they
live, but I am afraid that many

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: am boy
of II and have one more year to
complete my high school education. I
have worked my way through three
years Of high school and it hasn't cost
my parents a cent and think I can
do it for another year, but my father
wants me to give up my education and
60 to work for S12 a week. don't like
to refuse my father, but want my
high school diploma. What shall do?
I am much troubled. HUNTED.
Answer-By all means go on and
finish at high school. When you 20 out
to look for a job the very first ques-
ton you will be asked is whether you
graduated from high school or not and
that diploma will do a lot toward
getting you job. Your father is mis-
taken in thinking that it doesn't mat
ter. 1t is vital and necessary for you
to do this.
