 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Another Board Heard From
 Received form letter from w. P A. compensation board in Pcnnsyl- vanla saying they will not pay for ambulant treatment of hernia. No doubt they would frown on injec- tion treatment of hydrocele too. (H r. F., M.DJ
 AnsWer-It is absurd to let them refuse to pay for the cure of her. mia unless the cure is by method they happen to have heard about The Minnesota Industrial Commis- sion reports that 90 per cent of in- dustrial hernias in Minnesota re- ceive injection treatment.
 Cancer
 Please name books one can get and study to learn how to prepare food for and care for cancer pa tient in the home. (F. s.
 An8Wcr-Cancer is not commun- icablc. Ordinary soap and water cleanliness is ample protection against ordinary infection. Send a stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for monographs on Contagious Disease and Home Sanitation" There Is no particular food for diet. unless the physician in charge prcscribcs diet for some individual condition.

a mate, the state--H It has passed a blood test law as prerequisite to marria2c-holds them up for a long enough period of time 10 give them ample opportunity to remember that they are stepping into a serious al- fair.
 Divorce statistics in the next ten years may prove that all the education and all the precautions are wonderful thing. And an- other generation may produce a new high in marital happiness.
 But there Is bound to be many romantic young person, sitting through courses on marriage, ard going through all the states re- quiremcnts who locks back long ingly on the day when young pec- pie entered marriage without SO much depressing knowledge of the difficulties involved.
 The more romantic of the young ones are bound to think 1t was d fine thing when young man ard woman married with the conviction that nothing could happen to their marriagc-that no difficulties could ever arlse-and that marriage was an adventure on strange and won derful seas, not a chartcd course.
 Some of the marriage educated young folks arc sure 10 believe that a little ignorance was priv ilcgc. And that the young people of another day had an enviable complaccncy, that the marriage educated can never know. But no matter how romantic the past may look, from now on young people will have to be con- tent 10 have the R that once stood for Romance stand for Reason.
 And reason tells Us they will benefit from the change.

| less your lashes are quite colorless, you won't wear mascara during day time hours, of course. But you'll wear 1t In the evening by by all means.
 Generally speaking, light brown mascara is best for red heads, blondes and brown-haired girls, and dark brown for those with dark brown and black hair. However, it'g worthwhile for any red head or blonde to experiment with green and blue shades an ddarker types with darker green and darker blue. Some times, under artificial light, lovely effects can be achieved with these exotic tones.
 Among the unexpected eyeshadoU shades are light blue, violet, spring green and bronze. T'hcse-and any other cyeshadow, for that matter are for evening wear only. If you like, put a bit Of oil or cream on eyelids during the day. but don't use 1t during the daytime. Inci- dentally, don't forget to brush eye brows after powdcring your face.

visitors are less critical than we think, that most people love to be asked somewhere and are lonely for company Hospitality Is not made of things, but Of graciousn css, brightness and kindness.
 So today pass along thit thought. Call up people, mix them keep your circle wide and get away from a fixed idea that only the Jones and the Smiths can be your friends. Don't let the car and the movies deprive you of company, as | they will If you let them.
 And this has a bearing on chil- dren and their attitude to home The house where parents have friends stopping in to Say hello S seldom dreary one. To fec that our horizon stretches beyond the front door takcs ovcr-conccntra- ton off the children. There is, then something to talk about and plan for besides Tommy's tonsils and Leah's lingerie.
 Children Like Company Children love to see other peo- pie around. When they do, they think Of home as something el8c than service-statio plus training school. The fact that their house Is a center of good will and gay spirits means a lot.
 Az the years go on, there is more and more shrinkage in good old fashioned hospitality. Mothers and fathers in many cases go on for weeks at a time without seeing one single soul except their children and each other. This makes the small affairs of the family assume pro- portions beyond their normal weight. Then a certain feeling Of dullness begins to grow. To help out they seek movies, or other artificial en- tertalnment. It only helps for the moment and leaves no afHrgloW Of living. Their real need is fricnds-- and mixed friends -- with whom to exchange ideas and fun.
 Don't forget that children love parties Of their own. One mcans a lot. Several parties means more For years they will remember Be- sides 1t adds to their pride and makes them friends.
 I'm for any kind of party. Il helps in go many ways.

A WORD TO THE PROSPECTIVE FATHER: DON'T BE THE STOOGE

FATHER: DON'T BE THE STOOGE
 In the gay ninctics and the first decade Of this century ignorance of human physiology and anatomy amounted to an affcctation among the smart set. A facetiouS allusion to "ln'ards" or the diaphragm covered any possible conversational or literary requirement and no one but q doctor was vulgar enough to be any more specific. This quaint attitude Of the intellectual snobs accounts for the role commonly as- signed the prospective father, If he is the kind they can push around.
 The average prospective father is or should be too well informed to asgumc the role of boob, gap or stoogc in the birth Of bis baby That sort Of thing may have been conventional and proper back in the days before Wa83crmann blood tests for syphilis and bactcriolog!- cal tests for gonorrhca. Today a few states already require persons seeking license to marry to fur nish reasonable evidence that they are not syphilitic; before long they will be required to furnish reason able evidence that they are not af- fcctcd with gonorrhca. The time for boggling at these vital questions ia now past. Likewise the prospective father who i8 not actually men tai defective can no longer play stooge at the birth Of hi8 own baby
 Not just yet, perhaps, but in the near future it iB going to be the conventional practice to have the prospective father in there where he belongs beside his wife during the delivery of the baby. That a one good result we may expect from the exhibition of the film "Thc Birth Of a Baby" Even the showing of that instructive film aroused somc Criticigm. but never thelcss it is certain that the atti- tudc of the general public is heal Lhicr now than it was ten or twenty years ago. Then, for example, I dared not mention in my column subjects on which ! now write can- didly, by request of editors who are. of course, guided by the views and opinions of representative readers.
 Tn the booklet Preparing for Maternity" I say:
 "Thc prospective mother, even though well educated in te ordinary way, suffers az much from her own ignorance az she docs from the ignorance of her friends. Obscs- siona and expectations harass her Tales of disastrous occurrences whispered in her car by go3sipa add to her burden needless an- xicty. If she knew merely clcmcn- tary cmbryology she could antici- pate with tranquility and joy the greatest miracle of life, the birth of her baby.
 "Embryology is the study of the development of the human body from conception to birth. It should be taught in grammar school tc every boy and girl, along with physiology and the care and feed Ing of infants. Such Knowledge would Conducc to better health and greater happiness for every father

Gl0rityimg Yourself
By ALICIA HART

At this time of year, the beauty minded woman gives her eyes and the skin around them little extra attention. Knowing good and well that eyes are the first telltale of age. she is determined to do all she can to help them reain their youthful sparkle and to eliminate quickly any little lines that appear ed at the corners of them during the summer months.
 She begins immediately to smooth rich night cream or a special eye cream or oil around her eyes each and every night She applies 1t with circular strokes, placing fore fingers at inSide corners and work ing around over upper lids, at out side corners and back underneath eyes to insidc corners again. Even though Bhe never sleeps with cream on her face and throat, she does leave 1t on around her eyes.
 Furthermore, each night, She washes her eyes with a commercial 1y prepared eye lotion or a weak warm solution of boracic acid which she makes herself. Either Of these removes the days accumulation Of dust an ddirt, but, more important ly. relaxe8 tired muscles and elim- mates any red. bloodghot streaks.
 Naturally. gquinting into the sun, straining the eyes to read in q bad light or reading page after page of fne type without bothering to look up and away from the book each time you turn a page will cause . network Of fine lines at outer corners and underneath eyes. Don't put away your summer gun glasscg for another month or two. Keep them handy and wear them when carly fall sunshine fig bright.

NOT A BAD IDEA

When federal Judge at Philadelphia ordered a
local labor union to open its records for search of
evidence to show whether it was responsible for a
sit-down strike, the unions attorney complained
that if the order stood it would destroy the right
of labor to selorganization and force every labor
union in the country to incorporate"
substantial portion of the responsible citizen
ship Of the country believe the Incorporation of Ia
Dor unions would be good thing, not only for the
employers who have to deal with labor leadership,
but for the workers who contribute of their earn
ings TO the support of the unions.
Other organizations enjoying large incomes are
not permitted the freedom of action permitted la
Dor unions. And if these organizations put on
an equal footing with employers in business and
industry, in all probability more wholesome labor
industrial relations would result. The workers
themselves stand to lose nothing by such step,
although it might work something of hardship on
