VILLAGE GRAFT IS GOOD

NALLAUE UhAr ID GOOD
 It is high time for decent citizens to take steps to put an end to the contemptible racket which is worked on humble or defenseless people by the petty politicians in health boards or health departments, and not only in obscure country villages but sometimes in communities pur- porting to be populated by intelli- gent, self-respecting folk. refer to such scurvy mistreatment at the hands of the local government, right here in America, as this, clipped from newspaper:
 Madisonville, Ky, Aug. 23.-(Spe- cial.) Mrs. ....... ........, charged with refusing to have her daughter, ......, vaccinated against small pox, was fined $l0 and costs by County Judge ......... when tired this afternoon.
 A similar charge against her hus- band, ........., was dismissed as he said he was willing for the child to be vaccinated.
 Dr. ........., county health officer, warned the parents three years ago to have the child vaccinated or she could not attend school. She is a student of the ........ school.
 One wonders whether the victims in this instance drew lots to decide which would take the rap, and Nom got the short straw. Anyway, more power to her-if five thousand other mothers had the spirit to fight the pinhead politicians in hick health departments who are so all-fired con- cerned about vaccination that they can't find time to do anything about the most fragrant violation of fun damental sanitary regulations ill eat. ing joints and the like, this persecu. tion of helpless citizens would soor cease.
 I believe in vaccination. I arn vac- cinated, and I urge every one who asks my advice to be vaccinatcd. Be- ing so protected against the risk o1 infection with smallpox, as l believe it is of no concern to me if my neigh bor chooses to take his chances with out vaccination, either because he doesn't believe in it or because he is just negligent about belng 1mmun- ized. If my neighbor were mentally incompetent or for any other reason incapable of knowing right from wrong or safety from danger then perhaps it would be my duty to see to it, if possible, tbat he should be vaccinated. That's the whole story.
 Compulsory vaccination, however contrived, is bit of nineteenth cen- tury ignorance and prejudice trans lated into village vindictiveness and petty politics of the vintage ct 1910.
 Let the health department offer vaccinatlcn to all who desire it and simply inform those who refuse it that they do so at their own peril

Your sunny windows are gay with plants-but what about the corners that get little light? They need brightening, too. and there are lots of plants that thrive in them.
 Try a variegated periwinkle on top of a bookshelf, or on a mantel The foliage, the little white flowers are a constant joy. And the foliage actually is prettier, shows more gold, when you give the plant poor soil and not much light or water.
 Many foliage plants do beautiful ly in sunless cornerS-and one of the easiest to grow is the cocopalm. It tolerates hot dry temperatures, too, but beware of drafts. Another good-natured foliage plant, thriv- ing in either wet moss or water, is the graceful Chinese evergreen.
 And in water you can grow trail- ing English ivy, wandering jew, philodendron. Start sprigs in wall pockets placed here and there, over an arched doorway, beside a secretary.
 Enjoy plants, flowers all winter long. Our 32-page booklet tells how to plant and care for bu.bs, ferns, vines. blooming and foliage plants. Gives information on fertilizers, watering, repotting, material for growing in water.

WOMAN,S REALM
B1klAU11 . - GIorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

NEA Service Staff Writer
 The beausy-minded football fan knows that an afternoon in the bleachers - fun though it may be can play havoc with her complex ion.
 Therefore, because she is deter mined to look as attractively smooth skinned at the tea dance afterward as during the gar.e itself, and to have no complexion worries during the week following, she puts on a special makeup beforehand.
 First, she cleanses her face and throat with cream. Then she applies a thin layer of her favorite night cream and leaves it on for ten min- utes. She removes 1t with cleansing tissues, plotting and wiping gently but making no attempt to remove each and severy trace of the oily film. When she finishes, her face is soft to the touch but not at all greasy. LITTLE ROUGE,
 MUCH POWDER
 Over the remaining inconspicuous film of cream she spreads light foundation preparation, either a cream type or a creamy lotion. Cream rouge goes on next, then powder. The rouge is blended metic- ulously; the powder pressed on firm ly. She uses the former sparingly; the later lavishly. The powder is al- lowed to set for a few moments, then the excess is whisked off with a powder brush or a bit of fluffy cotton.
 Finishing touches are applications of lipstick and brushing of eyebrows and lashes. She always dries her lips before putting on lip rouge and lets the color set a minute or two before, plotting it a bit. Needless to say. this kind of care- fully applied makeup stays on for hours. And the cream base under heath it keeps the skin from chap ping or getting even slightly rough no matter how cold the day or windy the bleachers.

PATTERN 9l5 HOUSEDRESS WITH NOVEL, GAY TRIM

Do forgive me for the way look I've been home working all dayl" is mighty poor excuse nowadays. Every fastidious modern housewife makes point of looking just as neat and presentable at home as she does abroad. Here's an unusually attractive house frock designed by Claire Tilden. It's brimming over with novel features. First, see how the becomingly shaped, round yoke and the scallop-topped pockets are dramatically played up if you make them in bright contrast. The seal lop motif is continued all down the bodice opening and even the sleeves have scallop-effect tabs. Aren't those tucks radiating from the yoke smart-they give nice blousiness through the bodice too. The easy two-piece skirt has generous. per- ky flare to it. Best of all, Pattern 9l5 is easy-as-pie to make, with the step-by-step Sewing Guide to speed you up.
 Pattern 9l5 is cut in misses and womens sizes 12, IA, 16, IS, 20, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40. Size 16 re- quires 3 3-8 yards 35 inch fabric and 1-2 yard contrast.
 Send FIFTEEN CENTS (15c) in coins for this pattern. WRITE CLEARLY SIZE, NAME, ADDRESS AND STYLE NUMBER.

nUtN N1luett pOI IClo NiioAASS to notice what she is wearing.
 Then she takes time out for shop ping or beauty repairs.
 After that, a tea dance or cock tails-with lots more small talk.
 Dinner at supper club Gone where she will be photographed and on to more night clubs.
 Home at or 5 A. M. to sleep again until noon, the beginning of another day. ...
 sydna, who is busy these days roping calves at the rodeo in Madison Square Garden, shook her head. She didn't think "she could stand the pace"-and she wouldn't like that sort of life, anyway.
 SHE GETS UP
 WHEN DEB RETIRES
 Just to show how 17-year-old Texas ranch girl lives around the clock, Sydna obligingly outlined her day.
 Up at 6 A. M. (about the time the New York deb is drifting off to sleep).
 Into her overalls and high heeled boots and out to wrangle the horses.
 Back for breakfast-good and hungry-and ready to start the day. A day of riding, looking at the stock, looking at the fences, check ing such things as the windmill, the salt trough, riding the river.
 With lunch time, little rest and then the same thing over again on another part of the "A 4,00O-acre ranch her father owns. In a day that may mean 40 or 50 miles of riding.
 But we trot our horses; we don't gallop them the way cowboys do in the movies" Sydna points out. Dinner is a hearty meal after a day in the open, not 8 social oc- casion. After dark, Sydna sometimes rides flor the joy of it.. But she's in bed by nine or ten, unless it's the night of the monthly dance at Can- adia-the nearest town.
 Take your choice-colorful ranch girl or glamorous debutante. Or maybe you'd rather take life easy and just be plain working girl.

teasing to hide his own feeling of worthlessness and to attract attention
 We are well aware now that children trying to attract attention do so in the most barbarous man. ner at times. They not too particular about the kind of attention paid them as long as they are in the limelight and the center of things It makes up to them for the feeling that they not important.
 However, there are leases who have an innate cruelty that enjoys the suffering of others. But such cases of actual vicousness are not too common.
 Jealousy causes teasing; and thus we have the older child pesterng the baby. The baby cries. mother gets impatient and speaks her mind This is exactly what the teaser wants If he is scolded or punished, he wants that too. Rather than have her spend another envied moment on the baby, he will do much to be the center of her attention, even though it means the business end of a hairhrush.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 No Argument


 Correspondent sends newspaper clipping in which is reported the death of five-yar-old child in the office of physician at the conlple- ton of a tonsil and adenoid opera tion. Death was que to a heart at- tack, the coroner concluded from post-mortum examination. Prior to the opration, physicians said, the child's heart condition had been nor nal. Correspondent remarks that the tragedy is another argument in favor of the diathermy method of extirpat- ing tonsils and adenoids in preference to the more dangerous surgical ton- sillectomy.
 Answer-Since few children under the age of six years can cooperate with the doctor in the way necessary for successful diathermy, the corre- spondent's observation hardly ap- plies. But the standard tonsil and adenoid operation in any case is a MAJOR operation, and should rare- ly if ever be done in a doctors office.

Q. How can termites in my flower garden be exterminated?
 A. All infested logs, boards and other woodwork in the vicinity of the garden should be removed and burned. When possible infested plants should be pulled up and de- stroyed by burning, since they have little chance for recovery when once attacked. In areas which are badly infested with termites, carbon disul- phide injected into their galleries will do much to eradicate them. Holes should be made in the vicin- ity of the plants about a foot apart and not closer than inches from the base of them, little carbon di- sulphide poured into each, the holes closed, and the ground around covered for several days with some gas-proof material such as paper weighted with stones, or tho surface of the soil kept moist by occasional sprinklings. As carbon disulphide vapor is inflammable and explosive when mixed with air in certain pro- portions, and is poisonous, the liq- uid should be handled with care and not exposed near fire in any form, and the fumes should not be inhaled. Carbon disulphide can be purchased at most drug stores.
