Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service staR Wrlter


 The pores In an oily skin are much more likely to become enlarged than those in Q dry one. In either case, however, the condition can bc cured. That Is, If proper steps are atken and the treatments involved are re- pehted regularly and conscientious- N.
 The oily complexioned individual whose pores are stretched and, in addition, are filled with waste mat. ter. may find this treatment effiea- cious:
 Clean face thoroughly with cleans Ing cream. Then, using c black head remover or your fingertips covered with clean cotton cloth, squeeze out as much as possible of the waste in each pore. Do not squeeze too vigorously and do not try to remove oil waste during the first treatment, or even the first five treatments.
 Now wiring . wash cloth out in very hot water (as hot as hands can stand) and press 1t against your face. Afterward, dip q bit of clean cotton in pure grain al- cohoi and moisten the irritated spots. Pct on rose water and gly- cerine rnd 90 to bed. Repeat every other night. On nights be- tween treatments, simply wash with soap and water. rinse with very cold water until cheeks are pink. Smooth on softening lotion.
 On alternate nights, treatment for open-pored dry skin Is the same as for oily skin. However, on the nights between, softening cream should be applied after washing, allowed to remain on for an hour, then removed with cotton pads saturated with ice water, plain witch hazel or bland skin tonic.
 Naturally, cultivation Of excellent health habits as well as attention to proper skin routines will ease the large pore situation rapidly. Get enough slepe. Eat more green vege- tables and crisp salads than greasy .'ods and rich desserts.
 And do get some exercise. Your skin can be no better than your cir- cuiatlon. And your circulation won't Do Up to par unless you take exer- else or do exercises regularly.

JUST AN ORDINARY COLD
 PROVES FATAL

Child seven years of, age suc- cumbed t diphtheria in hospital, scarcely 24 hours after having beer brought there by the parents. On entering hospital the child was syanotic (blue or dusky), lips blanched, gasping and fighting for breath. In the emergency Q tube had to be placed in the larynx to give the child some air. The history given by the parents was ...
 Pay particular attention to this, you parents, teachers, and especial iy children who read this story.
 The parents said the child had been all right until the night before, when they noticed he could not breathe properly. They had called Q doctor who prescribed for the child and instructed the parents. to call him if the child was not better in two hours. The doctors medicine seemed to induce slight vomiting, after which the child seemed better, so the parents had not called the doctor again until next morning. When the doctor arrived he saw the child was in a desperate state and rushed him to the hospital for in- tubation.
 Besides inserting the tube in the throat, the hospital physician gave the child immediately 60,000 units of anti-toxin in the ordinary way and 10000 units in dextrose solu- ton dirctly into the vein.
 Now on closer questioning the child's father said the boy had been suffering with just an ordinary cold for several days, but as he had not seemed feverish and kept at play and at school, the parents had paid little attention to, 1t. Oh, yes, the child's voice had become hoarse too, but still the parents thought it was just an ordinary cold, and indeed they had not thought of having medical advice until they noticed the difficulty in breathing.

Marriage No EXcuSeWhen
 Regretting
 Empty Life
By RUTH MILLETT

Women like to use marriage as an excuse for not doing the things they say they would like to do. If there are children the excuse Is even better.
 But the truth is that most of them could do whatever they want- cd instead of saying T wish ! could -" if they really put their minds to 1t.
 There's education, for instance. It's Q fine thing for c mother to see that her children get the edu- cation she missed. But 1t is even finer, if she manages to get the education, too.
 More and more married women are using the thirties and forties for their own development. A heart- ening example of . mothers want- ing an education for herself enough to get 1t, b the story of Mrs. Helen doldenberg of New York, who has been after her degree on and of for i7 years.
 Children came along during the interval and sometimes Mrs. Gold. enberg could only take . course or two, sometimes shc had to take only night classes, and for years ct . time she could not manage any college work ct oil.
 But when the degrees are hAnd- cd out at Hunter College this month. Mrs. doidenberg will get one. She has that college education" she missed.
 The Idea of c mothers going on to school isn't unusuai--but 1t isn't as usual as if ought to De. Not with oil the women there are in the world who say they wish they could have gone on to school, and want their children to have " better chance than l did."
 It takes courage and deterniifi- ation not to Do content to accom- plish things vicariousiy through children, but to decide, I'm going to give MYSELF the things you missed"

this. I have to scratch my head. You see, I, too. am c mother, and my natural tendency Is to take no chances. Yet, my own common sense tells me that women make mistakes, often, on the side Of conn plete safety. I shall have to start Q forum on 1t and show both sides.
 We shall call this boy Sam. ! don't know his name.
 Sam is ten. That means that ho Is at the very peak of imagina- tive living. Sam will dramatise himself, most likely, and be any thing from Jesse James to Don Ameche. am not told whether this lad Is blessed tor otherwise) with histrionic qualities or not, or whether he can change in c twink ling from Q sea captain to an en. tombed miner. Probably he can. This has some bearing on his con- duct, you see, when he Is alone. The spirit may move him to move the house.
 However, let us say that every. tAlnR ib sure on taup bcUkv hkiu hAi the swords and pistols are put away. And let Us assume that the neighborhood is safe, also. The neighbors are only twenty feet away, or maybe less than that, if sams parents live In an apartment.
 This out of the road, we can 60 on. I don't think 1t too great c risk to leave Sam for an hour or two in the early evening. He should not Do alone after nine or nine- thirty ct the very latest.
 Better With Company
 Better to have some friend come in to keep him company. The friend should Dc dependable. He should not Do younger, bee cause that puts c responsibility on the boy. But age does not matter as much as temperament. Two heads can cook Up mischief much more quickly than one.
 AS usual, I have to 90 to the pioneers to make . point. Chil-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-02-10

I have said many times before, and leave you to draw your own moral.
 1. There is no such condition as Q common cold" ordinary cold" slight cold" bad cold" or "just g "cold."
 2, An honest name for 1t, when you don't know what is developing is CRT lkree), which means com- mon respiratory infection.
 3. Diphtheria, measles, scarlet fever, influenza, infantile paralysis, meningitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis, coryza-of course you don't know and probably even a doctor can't tell in the early hours precisely what is developing. Call 1t cri, until you do know. Be honest with yourself and with others.
 {. No one, whether school child, teacher, worker or executive, has a moral right to associate intimately with other persons when he has err or an alleged simple cold"
 6, To ignore the cri in the hope that it will nuot prove serious is per- haps a fair gamble for an adult whose life is not worth much, but 1t is unjustifiable where the life or o child Is concerned.
 6. The history of this tragic case reflects upon the ability of the doc- tor who first saw the child. Evi- dently he acquiesced in the treach- erous notion that 1t was "just an ordinary cold" Unfortunately some doctors still believe there is such an entity as e "cold," though no doctor can define 1t or give an in- telligent view of its nature or cause.
 Alkali
 Would e small amount of bicar- bonate of soda for gas in stomach have any effect other than to re- lieve acidity and aid belching9 GA. V.S.)
 Answer-No Ill effect. If an alkali to neutralize excessive acidity Is needed frequently, recommend ten grains of calcium carbonate as pre- ferable to soda.

IOf 1918 Victims

Not far from the graves in France
of more than $4,000 American SOL
diers, who more than 20 years ago
gave their lives in the World War,
the French and German are once
again firing death-dealing shells at
one another.
A checkup at the War Depart
ment today showed that the major
activity on the Western front in
the new war Is within IS miles of
the st. Mihiel Cemetery, where
4,l52 American victims of the last
war are buried, and not much far
ther away, at the Meuse- -Argonne
Cemetery, 18 miles northwest of
Verdun, there are 1920 more bodies
of soldiers of The American Expedi-
tionary Force.
There are eight American ceme-
teries in Europe where bodies of
American war dead are buried. Six
are in France. Another is in Bel
gums Flanders Field. There also
is one in England at Brookwood.
Altogether 10000 Americans were
either killed or died in the World
War. The bodies of many of those
who lost their lives in France were
disinterred after the war and
shipped to this country for final
burial. However. about 30 900 bodies
still remain in foreign cemeteries,
4.431 never having been identified.

Planters S Suit for Cotton
Ginning Refund Dismissed

By the Associated Press.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. "a
suit seeking recovery of money ex-
pended by planter for cotton gin
ming tax exemption certificates was
dismissed in Federal District Court
yesterday.
Hubert Farmer, Dothan attorney,
described the case as q test involv-
ing possible refunding of approxi-
mately $50 900 900 paid by Southern
farmers for such certificates under
cotton production control program
early In the Roosevelt administra-
ton.
The case was brought in the name
of T. j. Cook, Houston County, spe-
cifically to recover 1881. The Dis
trict Court ruled against Cook on
the grounds the United States had
not consented to be sued and that
the second deficiency appropriation
act of 1888 specifically prohibited the
maintenance of such action.
Under section of the old Agricul-
ture Control Act, since repealed.
tax was placed at the gin on cotton
produced above specified quotas as
signed individual farmers, but pro-
vision was made in that law for pur-
chase of tax exemption certificates
on above-quota production.

Drop for Year
$30,140,243 Collected
Here by U. S.; Virginia
Payments Rise

The Federal Government collech
ed $30,l40,243 in internal revenue
taxes from the voteless District Of
Columbia in the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1889, drop of 1877 per
cent from the 1888 year.
This was disclosed today by Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Guy
T. Helvering in report showing
total revenue collections of $751;
573,952 in the 1889 fiscal year, or
8.4 per cent less than for the 1898
period. Income taxes accounted for
$2151 ,374,597 of the total. The
yield from this source was 1853 per
cent less than the previous year.
The District paid SIG, 6,799 ,669 in
income taxes, corporation and in
dividual. This was AL per cent
less than the 1888 yield here.
Residents of the District paid
$10,396,955 in individual income
taxes in the 1899 fiscal year, COM
pared to 1888 payments of s12,-
09l ,698. Collections from corpora
ton incomes for the year totaled
S6,4O2,7l4, compared to $7,456,724
for the previous year.
OF all collections in the District
miscellaneous taxes showed the
sharpest decline. 26.8 per cent.
Revenues from this source. which
includes tax on excess profits, to-
tailed $5,936,416, compared to So
1908 collected in 1888.
Pay roll taxes collected here un-
der the Social Security and Carriers
Acts totaled $7,404,157, a drop of
8.6 per cent from the previous year.
Virginia was among the few States
showing increased collections. For
| the 1889 year collections totaled
$212 1923 1923, compared to 1888 COL
lections of $202 ,403.845, a gain of
81 per cent. The increase was ac-
counted for in a gain in collection
of miscellaneous taxes, including
excess profits taxes. Collections
from these sources totaled s177545,-
1863, compared to the 1888 collec-
tions Of $163, ,462,o ,o26. Income tax
collections. including corporation
and individual, dropped from s2S.-
692,054 in 1888 to $25 ,207, ,750 in 1899.
Collections in Maryland totaled
$106,5l8,184 for the 1899 year. as
compared to s1os,973,372 for 1898.
Income taxes produced $43,642.199,
which was "a per cent less than in
1898.
Mr.. Helvering's report pointed
out that while tax receipts are
credited by the States in which COL
lections are made, these do not
indicate the tax burden of the re-
spective States, since the taxes may
be eventually borne by persons in
other States.
