Colder Waters Are Bringing Oysters Proper Ppne and Favo
Disastrous
Period for
Brotherly Taunts
On Sisters Looks
Not Allowed
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Brothers are often unkind to
their sisters. Sometimes they mean
to be, and sometimes they blunder
into it. However it be, they hurt
their sisters feelings many times a
day, and the hurt is keenest when
1t is given on the tenderest spot of
all, the girls pride in their appear
ance.
The girl who does not want, wish
and long to be beautiful has never
been born. Her first dream is of
herself, vision of loveliness, receiv-
ing the homage of the people, par
ticularly the men, led by Prince
Charming himself. No matter what
gift the fairies bestowed upon her at
her birth if they withheld beauty
and the charm that beauty wields
she is desolate.
The lovely thing about it is that
beauty is bestowed upon every girl
child. There never was such thing
aas an ugly girl child in this world.
There is always the light of beauty
In her eyes and the glow of it in her
cheeks. There is always the lilt of
Joy in her voice and the gayety of
youth in her step. She cannot be
otherwise than lovely if she feels
that way about herself
She does feel that way until her
brother, in some spirit of self-de-
fense, or self-deprecation perhaps
informs her hat she is a fright.
This is usually done at a disastrous
time, at the onset of adolescence,
when her nerves are shaky, her skin
blemished, her self-assurance at its
lowest. Just at the time when she
needs praise and encouragement and
loyalty most, brother spills the ap-
plecart. He doesn't know what dam
age he does, being in about the
same boat himself. Mother has to
come to the rescue as best she may.
Sisters skin is sore trial to her
during these years of change and
adjustment. She mourns over every
little blemish, seeks cures in bottles
and jars and packages that cost
plenty of money and do no good.
With each application hope dies
again, and real mental suffering be-
gins to take its heavy toll of health
and strength and beauty. This skin
condition is serious matter to the
girl. She does not know that it is
something that soon passes. She is
afraid that she will be marked for
life. AS it is, she cannot go out in
public without a strange desire to
hide her face. She not only needs
help for the present condition of her
mind and body, she needs assur-
ance for the future. Brotherly
taunts are about the last straw. They,
at least, should be spared her.
A simple routine of care will help
q great deal. Daily baths; extra
servings of vegetables and fruit;
milk: fresh air, exercise in the open
air, especially walking; sleep in the
fresh air, bedrooms aired at night
especially. Wash the face gently
with warm water and a pleasant,
smooth soap; rinse with warm wa
ter; finish with cold water. Now
place cube of ice in little white
rag. very clean, and pat the face
with it until it tingles from fore
head to chin. Leave it at that.

TIE street..
By MARY ALLEN HOOD.


We like Knee-Hi. Not just be-
cause she's brilliantly developed
and is doing great job of teaching
children how to cross the street,
but because she herself is such
grand dog. She stretched out on
the floor of the stage after the
show was over on Wednesday, and
let some so children maui, hug and
pat her. And didn't show a single
sign of bad grace even when they
pulled out some of her hairs for
souvenirs!
Considering that she's a pure
bred, wire-haired fox terrier. her
tolerance is wonderful to behold for
dogs of the terrier breed are not in
clined to permit much poking
around their persons by strangers.
In addition, Knee-Hi had just gone
through her safety act, which lasted
from 9 until 11:30. The dog must
have been exhausted! Never have
we seen such a wonderful dispo-
sition.
Her master, DR.. BrunSon, says
she's learned self control, and be-
sides Is just naturally sweet. The
latter is probably the heaviest fac
tor.
In case you don't follow, Kee-Hi
is the dog who's going from school
to school all over the United States,
demonstrating how streets should
be crossed, as well as the dos" and
"don'ts" of coping with traffic.
First demonstration on her pro-
gram is waiting for the signal to

Fan Letters
To Stars
An Intelligent Note
Appreciated, but
Not Silly Ones
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: All the girls In
my class at school write to the
movie stars and when my mother
found out that I do, too, she didn't
like 1t q bit. Is there anything
wrong in writing to your favorite
movie star?
Answer-That depends! A short
note OF intelligent appreciation of
q part well played is delight to
every actor and actress. Unhappily,
however, the usual letters sent by
girls to man movie stars are very
silly and, therefore, as q general
tnlng, l can no more approve OF
this habit than your mother can!
Perhaps 1t might dampen your en-
thusiasm to know that practically
all fan letters to the popular stars
are read first by their secretaries
they have to be! No matter how
much they may wish to read at
once every word written to them!

Dear Mrs. Post: Would it be in
good taste for the bridegroom to
have his own father as his best
man? This is to be a wedding of
some size. That is, there will be six
ushers, six bridesmaids, maid OF
honor and two little flower girls.
thought quite possibly, since there
were so many others, all younger,
that the father would be out OF
place.
Answer-How agreeable to the
young people the father may be is
a question which the bride and
bridegroom can alone decide. But
from the point of view of good
taste the idea is not at all strange.
have myself been to half a dozen
weddings at which the bridegroom
father was best man. To be sure,
these fathers have been unusually
young and, needless to say, unusual
companions to their sons, who
would not otherwise have chosen
them. However, if there is any
likelihood that the wedding party
will be paired off" and that the
maid OF honor may wish q young
man to sit next to and to dance
with, 1t is easy enough to invite
one or two extra young men to any
parties given. In fact, extra young
men always help to make a party
go"

During Cold Weather
Neck.Care REQUIRED

Wash your neck" may sound like
advice to a little boy, but it's sur
prising how often grown-ups need
this same advice. Soiled scarfs and
furs that need cleaning take their
toll of neck loveliness in cold
weather.. but more often unclean
necks are caused by plain care
lessness in washing or by not wash
ing often enough.
The neck needs to be washed at
least as often as the face with a
good soap lather, warm water, and
a rough wash cloth or fairly stiff
face brush. This has the double ad-
vantage of stimulating circulation
while soil and scurf are removed
Even persons who take daily all
over baths need to wash their necks
frequently during the day.
Always use a fresh absorbent towel
for drying and make the drying
thorough to keep the skin from
chapping and to prevent that rough
weather beaten look. When the skin
is clean, pink and glowing a sooth-
ing cream or lotion will keep it soft
and smooth and at the same time
provide a powder base.

cross. And she waits. Nothing can
lure her forth until the right mo-
ment arrives-not even other dogs.
We know, for there were plenty of
them the morning we saw the DEM
onstration. When Knee-Hi is sig
nailed to 60, she steps cautiously
from the curb, looks to the right and
left and then moves across the
street at fast walk. She has devel-
oped an aversion to children playing
IN the street and jumps at them to
chase them back on the curb.
Youngsters on bicycles annoy her,
too, and she'll even attempt to drag
a boy bodily off the back of truck.
All these things could be explained
by hand signals given by DR.. Brun-
son, but such is not entirely the
case. Knee-Hi thinks. She under
stands words, having a vocabulary
well up in the hundreds, including
synonyms and anonyms.
We went behind the scenes for a
private show and explanation. DR..
Brunson started off by announcing
that he is no dog trainer" Instead,
he considers Knee-Hi purely as an
educated dog. The doctor is a ply
chologist whose work has been with
children and, knowing the system
used in schools by which children
are taught to read through the word
and body of the text, he took Knee
Hi as a puppy and educated her as
he would child. Forgetting that
she was a dog and considering only
her bright, eager mind, he estab-
lished understanding and gradually
took her into grammar school work
And that includes reading. OF
course. he doesn't swear that she
can really read, but she understands
the meaning of words on a black
board-and that's what they're
| there for!
Knee-Hi was lying on the floor
with her head on his foot. He told
her to get up, walk up the steps in
front of her, turn around twice and
then go over to the wall and put
two paws up on it. Needless to say,
she did. His words have the same
meaning to her as they would to a
person.
When Knee-Hi was 3-she's
nova terrible accident occurred at
one of the schools with which DR..
Brunson had contact. 1t was due
to carelessness in crossing the street
on the part of one of the pupils.
EXclaiming over the incident, DR..
Brunson announced that his dog
knew better than that
The school principal seized upon
the idea and had him bring Knee Hi
down to demonstrate. They lined
the students up outside and Knee-Hi
crossed the street properly with all
due regard for the traffic signals
The point went home all the way!
Seeing the possibilities. DR.. Brun-
son went to work with the dog and
has now visited over 600 schools
with great success. And the beauty
Of it all is the fact that Knee-Hi
knows what she's doing. She relaxes
at every possible moment, saving up
her energy for the show. She takes
her work seriously and enjoys it as
well-which does nice job of dis
proving the theory about our four
footed friends. Who said dumb
animals?

oyster supplies from DOCn NOrLnern'
and nearby waters. Many gourmets
argue about the relative virtues of
Cape Gods, Robbins Islands, Lynn
havens and Chincoteagues; they all
have their own pets, and no one can
make them change. 1t doesn't really
matter-in general all our oysters
are delicious and wholesome, pro-
vided they are as fresh and perfect
as possible.
For a dinner party, perhaps, If
you plan to serve them on the half
shell, you should pick some of the
larger, "fancier" types, such as Gar
diners Bay, Robbins Island, or the
smaller Blue Points. Epicures pre-
fer their oysters on the half shell
with no other seasoning than lemon
juice, and perhaps a grain or two
of freshly ground black pepper. A
fresh live oyster needs no further
dressing up" However, if you
like cocktail sauce" horseradish,
tabasco, and so ont is perfectly
proper for you to use them. Only
you might just as well save the
money spent on the oysters, and eat
the condiments on the crackers that
accompany them-for you can't
taste the oyster underneath all that
camouflage!
Shellfish Must
Be Fresh.
The main thing, as we said be-
fore, when purchasing oysters or
any other kind Of shellfsh. is to
be sure that hey are absolutely
fresh. Preferably. they should be
alive. You can tell a live oyster
from a dead one by the fact that
the shell is tightly closed Be-
ware shell that is even partly
open, or badly SCARED. The tlls noes
are that whatever caused the
"banged-up" appearance killed the
oyster within.
At all the reliable fish dealers
and good markets you can buy
freshly shucked oysters in bulk that
will serve your purposes nicely,
without you having the bother of
opening the brutes and that is no
easy job, let me tell you! # you
buy bulk shucked oysters, be sure
that the liquor is clear and sweet
smelling-that there is no hint of
cloudiness.
If you buy oysters to be served
on the half shell, most fish mar
kets will shuck them for you, and
set them in fiat iced trays so that
they will keep nicely until you use
them. But remember that the long
er they are exposed to the air. the
more flavor they lose-so try to have
them delivered as close to :he din
ner hour as possible
Should some friend send you a
barrel of oysters that you must open
yourself at home-here's how it is
done: Wash the shells thoroughly
in cold water Rinse in more cold
water. Insert a strong. thin knife
special ones for the purpose can
be bought-between the shells near
the thick end, and run it around
until the muscle holding the shells
is cut. Turn the oysters and the
liquor into a bowl. Strain liquor
before using, and examine oysters
carefully for pieces of shell.
Now for the
Recipes.
There are so manv ways to pre-
pare oysters that it would take
volumes to describe them all. So
today I'm only going to give you
some rather unusual methods, which
will broaden the culinary field for
you and lend variety to the regular
oyster dishes.
The first one comes from Pru-
nier's, that famous restaurant in
Paris. long noted for it's sea food.

Warm weather prevailed in the Ely

eight days Of the month, according to
records kept by the U. s. forest SER
vice. On these last few days, however,
an average high of 50.7 degrees was
registered and an average low of 32.6.
For the month as whole the average
high reading was 66.8 and the average
low 45.7, considerably above the coolest
spell of the month.
For the most part south winds kept
the mercury at respectful level in the
tube but on Sept. % the wind changed
to the north, sending temperatures
skidding downward. The following night
the first heavy frost was marked up,
just one month ahead of last years.
While low temperatures marked the
last of September, unusually high
marks featured the middle of the
month. On Sept. Is a high of SO de-

span of g. degrees between the two
extremes.
A total of 1856 inches of precipitation
was recorded during the month. A
powdery snow fell on the night of
Sept. %, and large Christmas-like
flakes fell on the night of Sept. %, but
both served only as a reminder of what
is to come, melting off soon after
falling.
