that req SCuu on your toes.
 If you really think your escort minds carrying your compact in his pocket, catch that pleased look on his face when he hands it to you at the end of the evening with the air of the protector who has looked after you.
 And if you believe what men say for publication, that black is their favorite choice for woman's clothes and that they like women dressed in quiet good taste, go win- dow shopping with one. You'll find that he is taken by the most colorful accessories and if he knows there is a black dress in the window he doesn't make any sign.
 Also, the man who has @ fit about gossiping is just putting on an act. Stake your money on the chance that the next time @ man accuses you of gossiping he'll end up by trying to find out what you found out.
 There are things that men dis- like in women. But they don't talk much about them.
 Most men hate for a woman to lie about anything more important than her age, or weight. It makes them feel insecure.
 They hate to have a woman not care how she looks. A man would rather have his wife keep him in debt and let his house run itself than have her go around with her slip showing.
 They dislike any sign of cal- culating coldness in 6 woman, pre-. ferring to believe that all women are warm-hearted and impulsiye, Whether they are married or sin- gle, they don't want a woman tc f1irt with other men while she is out with them.
 If you want to know what men hate-watch their reactions and pay no attention to their talk.

Tests of Health or Functional
 Efficiency

A1AAsNnNAANy
 vite, as defined earlier, means a rating of 90 per cent or better in functional efficiency. Health as generally understood, means a rating of not less than 70 per cent infunctional efficiency. People con- sider themselves well, as a rule, until their functional efficiency de- clines below 70 per cent, and then they begin to think they need medi- cal advice or care. However, most of the 70 to 30 percenters dabble more or less in self-doctoring with tonics, sedatives, laxatives, disges- tives, stimulants, hypnotics, medi- cial and physical remedies they hope may improve this or that function.
 Individuals in the 75 per cent class readily pass ordinary medic cal examinat ton such as life i1sur- ance examinations, since such an examination reveals no manifest sign or disease. But they cannot pass 8 health examination proper for that includes precise measures ments of functional efficiency which inevitably reveals weaknesses that get by the ordinary physical or medical examination.
 The customary fee for an ordi- nary life insurance medical ex- animation is ten dollars. It is worth ten dollars to have doctors opin- ion or assurance that one has no sign of tuberculosis, cancer, Bright's disease, hernia, arterios- clerosis, heart disease, eac., at pres ent. An arbitrary fee for a health examination cannot be stated be- cause it would depend on what par- ticular tests, clinical and labora- tory, might be required in the in- dividual case. For example a young man contemplating marriage or a married man might wish to know definitely whether he is fertile. A man or woman who has been over- weight for ten years ought to have a test of carbohydrate tolerance to see whether he or she is drifting toward diabetes. A student pilot should know whether his heart has sufficient reserve power to func- tion adequately at great altitude. For prOphylaxis persons engaged in certain occupations should know whether their blood contains more than a trace of carbon monoxide present in nearly every ones blood today or whether they are excret- ing thru the kidneys more than the normal trace of arsenic daily.

about it tomorrow better. Then she will be less nervous. I'll use tact. I'll say: By the way, Anna, that was very good chowder, but 1t seems a shame to spoil the flavor by too much seasoning. We are not as fond hot soups as some people. So, if you will remember, I am sure we shall enjoy our meals more"
 There were several occasions of this kind. Anna was more than will- ing to learn, but she was very fear ful about trying new recipes. When Mrs. Jones waited to tell her nicely about mistakes at a time she was not under strain, she did not feel that she had failed. And she re- membersd very well, indeed.
 This article is not about Ann. It is really about Jane Jones, whowas just beginning to feel grown-up and very sensitive about her blunders.
 Her mother corrected her one day before some relatives. Another time she told Jane not to interrupt when Mrs. Evans, a caller, was speaking.
 
 Mrs. Jones gave Jane good go- ing eventually, about telling some family affair that was confi- dential. Jane was worried the min ute the words passed her lips and she was at the point when any ref erence to it doubled her shame. She was trying to do things right, but the constant correcting she was getting at the wrong moments were making her very unhappy.
 She said to her muther, Mummy, you said that you got better results when you waited day to speak to Anna. wonder if you would do it with me?"
 Mrs. Jones was very surprised. It had never occurred to her that a child would react precisely the same to correction as a stranger. Why, darling. maybe you are right. I nev- CT thought about it."
 We cannot always wait until the next day, that is sure, when chil- dren need instant correcting and even punishment. But it is true, al- so, that a postponed suggestion, made when the child is less nervous, often gets better results.
 When he has broken rule, his own conscience sets up quick de- fense. This is another angle to it.. At such a time he is almost beyond reach. He is ready with excuses and too anxious to save face. Later, a good talk on the subject will find him more receptive. There is 8 psychological moment after all. Copyright, 2939, NEA Service incl

GIonyng Yourself
BEAUTY.
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

Little girl suits and dresses with voluminous skirts, tight bodices and round, childish necklines call for a natural, fresh, completely un-made- up look. This is a spring to strive for a clear-eyed, scrubbed, fresh- as-a-daisy appearance.
 Clean your face and throat oftener and use g. filmy, light-tex- tured foundation. Choose powder that matches exactly or is one shade darker instead of shade lighter than your natural skin tones. Substitute a lighter, pink ish npstick for the deep scarlet or wine one you've been using. Matching rouge will give your cheeks youthful, natural glow.
 Your hair ought to be off your neck. It needn't be piled high in an upswept, but it ought to be shorter. You can have it cut very short and brush the little curled ends upward. Or you can simply go III TOT a SnOrC DOD, OreSSeQ OH the neckline instead of below the nape of the neck and cut to reveal the shape of your head.
 Your neck must be smooth and white and unlined. Cleanse 1t as carefully and as often as you cleanse your face. Massage night cream into 1t every night. And always apply foundation cream or lotion and powder from base of the throat upward. You can't look your best if your face is pow dered and your neck isn't.
 Hands must be immaculate, too smooth, soft and white and meticulously groomed. In sea- son when femininity is the key note of smartness. callouses, rough skin and chipped polish just won't do. Use small brush once a day, rub callouses with wet pumice during your weekly manicure and don't ignore the im- portance of cuticle cream or oil.

l to attract credulous customers sets a definite fee in advance. Intelli-' gent folk know they can trust the. physician of good repute to do what is necessary and charge 8 fair fee for his service.
 Readers draw the most astonish- ing inferences from teachings which I fondly imagine are fool proof when I offer them. A simple test of the efficiency of the circu- lation and incidentally of the func- tional efficiency of the heart lis the number of seconds one can hold the breath while sitting at rest. If one can hold tn ebreath 40 to 45 seconds, he circulation is efficiency and the heart functions adequately. A reader questioned this because, in spite of his handidcap, he found he could hold his breath while he counted 40 and even 50-so my test was silly. On actual count I find one can count Gin the heaO 250 or more in 40 seconds. But that only goes to show.
 Growth of Children
 Son, is B in 9th grade, head of his class, but weighs only 65 pounds and is subject to a habit spas and tic, think you call it. One doctor said tonsils and adenoids, should be removed and aspirin given. Other advised against that. Boy is very nervous. (H. L. W.)
 Answer-At thirteen boy should weigh 90 to 95 pounds. See that he gets optima1 rations of vitamins B, G, D and c daily. You say nothing about his diet or eating habits or likes or dislikes. Every boy or girl of that age must consume at least a quart of fresh milk daily-no tea or coffee, of course. Some cocoa or cocoa with mily, if the child has no taste for milk straight. It has been shown by many investigators, with all classes of children, that, regard less of the environment an econo- mic circumstances, those children who receive adequate vitamins grow faster and are stronger than chil- dren who are a little deficient in vitamins-as they are likely to be on the standard diest of processes and refined food,
