I listened to his case history and learned all about his illnesses. His mother spoke most sympathetically about his little faults and how she dealt with them. She said he was to go to kindergarten in the fall and how lonely she would be without him.
 Father was as much of Junior admirer as she was. He had grand ideas and I thought, Here is par ticularly fortunate child indeed, with such intelligent parents to guide him."
 I had not anticipated mothers nerves. In her pretty sports clothes and with a fine husband dancing att tendance, there was not the slight est symptom of the truth. In very few days I was to learn.
 I notice that Mrs. Lodger, let us call her, often spoke sharply to the boy. She would call him up to her. brush off his sun suit and say, What a sight you are" Of, if he came to say he had to go the bath room, she would sit quite still and say, There is your father. I am tired of waiting on you. You mustn't be such nuisance"
 Her Nerves Give Way
 Things got worse, too. One day she jumped to her feet and fairly screamed, Get out. Go away at once. You are driving me crazy"
 MT. Lodger explained that his wife was very high strung and con- fided that he had spent months try ing to get her to take life easier. "She has worried herself into this crisis over the boy" he said. "She takes responsibility too seriously. She won't let anybody but herself or me do one thing for the child. She lies awake nights picturing dreadful things that might happen. Junior needs to get away from her and she must get away from him oftener. But can't tell her. Now she is turn ing on the very person she loves most in the world. What can I do?"
 "Just now while you are free, ," I suggested, take him on long walks. I'll stick around and if she needs anything, I'll be here. When you get back home, move heaven and earth to get someone to help her. Someone not too demonstrative or pretty, or she will be jealous of the child. Perhaps an older woman who will understand" He promised that he would.

 She is pleased with "The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle,' in which Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire step into the pre-war danc- ing shoes of the famous Castle team.
 She acted as technical advisor for the motion picture which she hopes twill turn jitterbugs into graceful dancers"
 T hate for Europeans to think that all Americans who like to dance are jitterbugs," she says.
 Because it isn't a true picture at all. Swing enthusiasts are mostly high school kids. They don't &C., tually represent the majority of of dancing Americans"
 If the picture in which Irene Castle stars-through the medium of Ginger Rogers-does calm down the jitterbugs, it will be the second time that the Castles have swung the dance from the ridiculous to the beautiful.

SEEMS AS THOUGH I CAV
 SAY ANYTHING


 Canadian newspaper man says frankly he was amazed by my statement that tuberculosis is not contagious, because that seems contrary to everything taught by tuberculosis authorities. In fact, there is considerable evidence n the community where the newspaper man lives that tuberculosis spreads in family groups, from adults to children. In the preventorioum at Fort Du'Appelle Sanatorium in Saskatchewan more than SO babies have been reared free from tuber- culosis because they were taken away from tuberculous mothers immediately after birth.
 I had already received half a dozen anonymous taunts, which puzzled me but did not irk me. I get two or three such communica- tions every day and find them amusing. Then the newspaper mans letter came, straightforward and courteous. This man cites good reasons for believing that tubercu- losis is contagious. Perhaps we had better dig into the files of copy and find out what in the world I could have said to elicit such a protest.
