but the results have been sufficiently
gratifying for further planning along
this line. What has been definitely
established is that participation in
music activity by problem cases and
underprivileged children has benefited
them physically and morally More
than anything else, music serves to
free self concentration, to distract the
mind from too much inward centering

OF music continues. an entire change
IN the attitude toward life and in
conduct has been observed
1t has also been found that listen
ing to music is not sufficient and many
times serves only to increase the diff
hcultles since it does not draw on the
mental processes of the patients, al
though its quieting effect on the nerv-
Gus system is considerable. But per-
forming music is a decided stimulus

on the children of the psychiatric
ward CT Bellevue Hospital, in the re-
formatories, among cripples and chill
dren of low mentality. The result in
each case has proven that music can
reach and heal where other methods
have failed.
# HAS been found that the ma jority
of these problem cases had had no

'The Black.Eyed Susa n"
dress won the annual award last
night at the fashion exhibition
of the Abbott Art School, TAB
Connecticut Ave. Strangely
enough it was designed by one
of the men students, Clarence
Gaylor, but had been actually
made by another student. Miss
Julis Metcalfe for whom it was
created.
The judges gave it the top
prize, because it would manutac-
tllre for about $3.50 and be
cause it was a practical model
adaptable to easy alteration.
Fashioned of white pique with a
gay pattern of black-eyed suSans,
it was cut to the waist in back,
the halter formed of the cut-out
daisies in chain. With a tight
fitting bodice and a swing skirt,
it was a model worthy of impor.
tant attention.
Fourteen students exhibited.

Hoped for a

Dear Miss Fairfax:
We live in an awfully lone
some place in the country, and
I never had any young friends,
girls or boys, until about six
months ago when we came to
this city to live. I'm %, and
everybody says I'm pretty but
awfully green for my age. 1
got a job in the Five-and- Ten.
and liked mixing up with people,
and seeing the crowds, and the
stock in the store, very much.
On the same bus I take every
morning going to work was a
man and. after I had seen him
five or six weeks. he began talk
ing to me. I didn't like him.
He must be real old; I should
say all of 40.
One night he followed me to
my house and asked to come in.
I refused. 1 always wanted
ooy friend, but don't like this
one and want to get rid of him.
What would you suggest?
SADIE.
There is no reason why a girl
living in this country should be
subjected to the unwelcome at
tentionS of any man. Tell him
positively that you want nothing
to do with him and. if he per-
sists, go to the nearest police sta
ton and report him.
A bore who persists in tor
menting a girl. in the face of her
objections. is either mentally un-
balanced or so stupid that deli
cacy is wasted in dealing with
him.

Man
Asks Why

Patient Sufferer" brings up
the subject in this letter:
Dear Mr.. Antheil: What is
your straight from the shoulder
opinion of a woman who goes
tongue spearing after people on
the slightest provocation or no
provocation at all.
She has a high intelligence
quotient and considerable edu-
cation. Why do such women
carry ever.ready barbs about on
their tongues and let them fly
at their most innocent fellow.
men?
"'Tis great stuff to have a
glib tongue, but must it be used
to wound others? I should like
to get a mans version on this
type of woman.
PATIENT SUFFERER"
Intolerable feelings within a
woman often causes her to seek
relief through her tongue. She
may be a nervous wreck. She
may be a disappointed woman,
thwarted at some period in her
life. She may be a product of
a home filled with diScord. But
whatever it is, she is not max
ing it better by being sharp
tongued.
Did you ever listen to the
"other woman" talk to a man.
She may not be sincere but she
engages an age old trick Of
womankind. She talks sweetly
and softly. Som ct m S, OF
course, she does this so others
won't hear what she is telling
him. But her tongue takes him
away from a wife that hasn't
sense enough to curb hers. Cats
purr when contented and the
feline in a woman teaches her
to talk softly when she wants
to show a man how happy she is
in his company.
"Hush!w What a
Lovely Word
This soft voice business
doesn't really answer Sufferers
question, but it plays part in it.
But sweet voices come from
within. The jolly loud voice
comes from a jolly loud girl who
hasn't much culture. The modu-
lated voice comes from the girl
who is fastidious and more often
than not, well educated. The
shrill voice comes from the hol-
lows of an empty head. The
deadly poisonous utterances
that dart from a girls tongue
come from some bitter poisoned
source within her heart.
It is her defense mechanism
at work. It is her way to make
herself feel superior and to take
away the hurt that is making
her feel so far down in the
mouth.

To line the mold with sherbet

bottom and sides of the mold

the mold in ice and salt. Unless

States 1889 License Plates To
Reverse Present COlOrS

The gaudiest display of license plate
colors ever seen on American high
ways will appear in 1889, the Auto
mobile Club of Maryland reports in
announcing color schemes for next
years auto tags.
At the same time, it is noted there
is a great increase in recent years of
the use of slogans and decorative de-
signs on license plates, giving them
greater individuality and making it
easy to identify Immediately the State
Of origin.
"Thirty-one States have adopted
entirely new color schemes for 1889"
according to Leonard E. Kolmer,
general manager of the Automobile
Club. "Sixteen States and the Dis
trict of Columbia have contented
themselves with the present colors and
will merely reverse them as to numer-
ais and background. One State, Con-
necticut, which is using permanent
plate, will stick to it's black -on-alumi-
mum combination. Maryland will re-
verse the present color scheme, using
green letters on white background.
