WHAT is THE MOST PREVA-
LENT MENTAL MALADY?

THE answer to this question is a
L short four-letter word-f-e-a-rl
This is like the common cold, a
form of sickness so common that we
all know something about it from
experience. AS the cold is really
dangerous in that it brings about
many worse disturbances of the sys-
tenn, so is fear dangerous for what
it can do to the personality. A list
of human fears is a long catalogue
indeed. Make a list of yours-all
the fears you have ever felt. Ask
yourself the why of each. In some
cases you will not know the answer.
Why are you afraid of snakes? OF
high places? Of crowds? OF being
alone? Some have a fear of being
afraid; they ridicule the fears Of
everyone else, to show that they
have none, and they do that be-
cause they are afraid

Noted Furniture Designer
Was Favorite Of George iii

r
Among the most distinguished fur
niture designers during the latter
part OF the Eighteenth century was
Robert Adam, favorite of George
III, bachelor king of England. Son
OF an architect, he and his brother
James gained fame as architects
under the partnership legend of the
"Adelphi.'
Adam Travelled considerably when
travelling was fraught with great
dangers. Among his many extend
ed trips was the one he undertook
TO the excavations of Pompeii and
Herculaneum. In these ancient
ruins he found many decorative and
structural motifs which became
part and parcel of his exquisite de-
signs.
Most of Adams furniture shows
his architectural leanings. Some of
the furniture Adam made was of
mahogany with delicate carvings
and dainty inlays He originally in
troduced the shield back chair, but
abandoned II in favor of the wheel
back chair.
During his activities in the build
ing Of homes for the wealthy and
designing fixtures and furniture for
the interiors Robert Adam found
time to write and illustrate three
volumes of his Works in Architec-
ture" which were dedicated to his
patron, King George III. Adams
designs are frequently reproduced
In dining-room furniture and occa-
-sional hvingrQom pieces.

Citric Acid

Citric acid is a crystalline solid
found dissolved in lemon juice,
where it is responsible for the sour
taste. In addition to a number Of
lesser technical uses the acid itself
Is used to flavor prepared foods and
beverages, while its calcium salt is
extensively used in the cheese in
dustry. 1t has been known for a
long time that varieties of a COM
mon mold, Aspergillus niger, pro-
duce citric acid when they act on
sugar solutions, and in recent years
This process has been applied to the
farge-scale production of the acid.
a large part of the citric acid of
commerce comes from these fungi
rather than from lemons.

Gypsy influence
Rules New Styles
Coy Stripes md Pluids Are
All the Roge
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

This idea of gypsy stripes and
plaids, Of full gathered skirts, Of
gypsy sashes and so on is spreading
like wildfre. One of the most
talked-of dresses that goes to young
folks dinners and dances and eve
ming parties is the gypsy costume
that tops a full gathered-into-the-
waistline skirt and fiamboyant
stripes or plaids, with a dainty
white chiffon blouse that has long
Observation-Disclosures sleeves, with
perhaps a draw-string neckline.
Sometimes the blouse is of the ex-
quisitely sheer baby" type, that
has coolies" of val lace edgings
gathered row-and-row in all-over
patterning.
In the day, short swing skirts,
gored or pleated and in plaid or
stripes, ally with the dainty lin
gerie gypsy blouse in picturesque
fashion yet thoroughly practical for
unitarian general wear.
Dotted prints are the rage. De-
signers are using them most clever
ly. They partner tiny dots with enor-
nous dots. Twin prints reversing
the order of their colorings are
worked in contrast for the same
costume. Per example, a white dot
ted patterning on a red background
is combined with a red-on-white
print silk Navy and white dotted
silks are first choice since navy is
the big color this spring. Many navy
costumes are trimmed with polka
dot panels, sometimes the jacket Is
lined with polka dot to match the
blouse worn with il.

a Always. so far as we can trace
iAistory there have been cosmetics,
says the Philadelphia Record. The

Is. CD buried jars Of unguents and
perfumes with their kings. The
lmaking Of cosmetics in ancient
Egypt was function of the priest
hood, held to be highly mysteri-
Nous and much esteemed art.
Probably most of the constituents
fof the ancient Egyptian cosmetics
were imported from nearby Ara
oia, such as sesame oil, almond oil
and olive oil. Paints were in much
use among the women and probably
among the men as well, particularly
on ceremonial occasions.
Egyptian women were particular
" fond of painting the eyes. The
nderlid was painted green, the up
per lid, lashes and eyebrows black
by the application of kohol, a prod
uct made from antimony, which
they applied with ivory or wooden
sticks. They colored the nails of
fingers and toes with henna, also the
palms OF the hands and soles of
the feet.
There are abundant references in
the Old Testament to the Jews use
OF and admiration for both cos
metic preparations and perfumes.
The early Romans didn't bother
much about cosmetics, but when
they came into contact with the
highly civilized Greeks it didn't take
them long to become cosmetic-con-
scious.

Date Palm Heads List
Of the Leading Trees

The ten most important trees in
the world, according to an official
of the Society of American Forest
ers, are: /, date palm; 2, coconut
palm; 8, almond; 4, apple; S, fig; 6,
mulberry; 2, olive; 8, lemon; 9, Gin
chona; 10, rubber.
Unquestionably, the foremost fam
lilies of trees are the palms. First in
Importance is the date palm. This
tree is known to have been in cult
walton for more than 1000 years,
says the Rocky Mountain Herald.
1t supplies the date of commerce,
oil, wood and fiber.
The coconut palm, originated in
the Malay archipelago and has been
cultivated for at least 5000 years.
Its chief products are the coconut
and its kernel, which when dried
produces copra, product valuable
in the manufacture of commercial
fertilizers.
The almond, probably originated
in western Asia and the Mediter-
ranean region. The almond is men,
toned in the works Of Theophras-
tus, a naturalist of the Third CEN
fury B. G.
The apple produces one of the
leading fruits of the world. It is the
most important in North America
and probably in the entire north
temperate zone. 1t was known in
prehistoric times.
The fig tree grew originally in
southern Asia and Europe, whence
it has been introduced into other
sub-tropical lands. In america, the
fig is grown in the Gulf states and
in California.
The white mulberry is native to
India and Mongolia. 1t has been
grown in China since ancient times
for its leaves, the chief food Of the
siIkworrn.
The olive tree is mentioned promi-
nenty in Homer's Odyssey"
The lemon tree originated in In
dia. The lemon has been cultivated
for some $500 years.
The cinchona Of Peru and Bolivia
is the source Of quinine. Il was IN

Amethyst Is a Quartz

The amethyst is quartz of clear
purple or bluish-violet color, due to
the presence of manganese. The
dark reddish-purple is the most
highly priced. Wade's Textbook of
Precious Stones says the chief
charm of the Siberian amethyst lies
in its large red component, which
enables it to change from deep
grape-purple by daylight to fine
red by artificial light that is rich
in red rays and poor in blue ones.
