"How is your friend, Bing Jones?" he asked casually, with 8 pretended yawn.
 Philip shot him a quick look and then said just as casually, "Bing? Oh, I guess he's all right"
 For week Phil's father had been noticing things. And mother had discovered Phil was smoking.
 And one afternoon he had been "absent without leave," as the school called 1t. He and Bing, 1t seemed, had been off on their bi- cycles somewhere. Again, he had un- willingly uttered shocking word when his airplane got wet. There were other signs of an influence new to the boys experience. Philip was, of course, at an age when they could expect almost anything new. But this was serious.
 Bing was older. He came of a family that paid little attention to what the child was doing.
 Tomorrow was Saturday. Father was going to play golf. He had a match for Sunday, too.
 Possibly it was the noblest effort he ever made in his life when he said, Phil, would you think your

 e. How may test silk for color fastness to precipitation?
 A. Soak sample in diluted ace tic acid solution for ten minutes; then dry it gradually without rins- ing. Leave for 8 few days and com- pare it with the original.
 @. What is the difference be- tween brown and white rice?
 A. Brown rice is obtained from rough rice or paddy, and consists of the whole kernel with the outer husk removed. White rice is ob- tained by further milling of brown rice and the white kernels, after polishing are often coated with sub- stances that give pearly luster.
 o. How may rubber cement be removed from a tablecloth?
 A. Sponge the stain with carbon tetrachloride.
 e. How deep should bulbs be planted?
 A. The general rule is to place them as deep as twice their, diam- eter. In some instances it is bet- ter to plant them a little deeper. A 24-page booklet, "The Bulb Book" which contains information about the selection, planting and cultiva- tion of bulbs, may be ordered for 10 cents from our Washington Service Bureau, 1913 18th St., Washington, ID.

KERCHIEFs FOR FATHER


 Father is a well-dressed man. He's just as. particular about his acces- sories as Mother. And he does in- sist on fine handkerchiefs. For his breast pocket, to fold very fiat and neat and smooth, he selects hand- woven French import, very sheer, with hand-rolled hems of course. He's rather conservative, but he likes color, too, so he chooses some colored kerchiefs in shades especial ly designed to go with mems wear fabrics-rich shades of blue, wine, green and brown and smooth tans and grays. This season deep solid colors. plaids and geometric pat terms are much preferred.

Applause for Sue! Her poppy tap routine goes over big with the crowd at the summer camp.
 "She must have taken lessons from professional" everybody in- sists. Wouldn't they be surprised to know she learned her tapping right at home, with diagrams and easy instructions?
 Really, the. most complicated show routines are made up of few simple taps you can pick up in one short evenings practice. Try these four yourself.
 BALL TAP-Raise foot off floor, stamp on ball of foot only.
 HEEL TAP-Stand on ball of foot and lower heel to floor making a clear tap sound.
 TOE TAP-Hold foot back off floor, strike sharply with tip of toe only.
 FLAT TAP-Stamp on floor, using entire flat surface of foot.
 Fun to try these taps to music.

her for being a good manager.
 A little experience in the business world before marriage would have been good for her.
 For the business woman gets by a minimum of praise. And she never asks for what she gets.
 About the only time her work is commented on is when there is a complaint. Every time she hands the boss a letter, she doesn't expect him to say, My, you typed this beautifully, Miss Smith. You're a smart girl"
 In a few months of working she learns that if there are no com- plaints, she's lucky, and all is well.
 There's no reason in the world why women in the home can't take the same attitude. It must be an awful bore to a man to have to praise continually in order to stand in good.

WOMAN,S REALM
Go'iting
 Yourself
By Alicia Hars
NEA Service Stan Writer


 Whether you manage to look and feel your best during summers hot- test weather depends g great deal on how well you sleep and how smart you are about starting each day in a reasonably good-natured and wide-awake fashion
 In the first place, unless you have health problem, in which case you ought to see your family doctor irl- mediately, there's no reason under the sun why the thought of getting out of bed should make you miser- able. That is, providing you went to bed at a decent hour and had at least seven-preferably eight hours of really restful sleep.
 LAZY WOMAN'S EXERCISES WAKE UP SLOTHFUL MUSCLES
 However, during summer months, when the average person wakes up feeling a little tired and none too young and supple, no matter how long he slept, you might consider doing waking exercises. Im- portant Hollywood stars, such as Jane Wyman, call them "lazy woman's'' routines because they are to be done in bed and consist main- ly of stretches. They stretch lazy muscles.
 You may hate reducing exercises and simply refuse to do standard Setting-up routines, but don't dis card the idea of these new waking up" exercises until you have tried them for three mornings in suc- cession. They won't reduce your di- mensions or make your muscles hard and firm, but they will stim- ulate your circulation and get you started of on the right foot. START THEM OFF WITH A BIG STRETCH
 Step number one in the "eye- opener" routine is a big stretch and a couple of yawns. Certainly, no matter how much you resent the alarm clock and world which makes it necessary for you to get up whether you want to or not, you can stretch. STRETCH your arms toward the head board, at the same time trying to make your toes touch the foot of the bed. Turn over on your stomach and stretch again.
 Now sit up in bed with feet wide apart, then lean forward and touch toes with fingertips You'll feel this stretch your back muscles. It takes the kinks out of your neck and back and the thick" sensation out of your throat. Bring knees up to chin, pulling them against your chest with your arms.
 Lie flat on your stomach, grasp ankles with hands and rock back and forth on your stomach two or three times.
 ALL THE EXERCISES
 TAKE ONLY FIVE MINUTES
 Return to first position, with your back flat on the bed. Supporting the hips with hands, raise your feet upward, then lower them over your head-back somersault fashion-un- til they are touching the bed. Keep knees as straight as possible. Lift legs upward slowly, pause a moment when they are again perpendicular to your body, then lower them.
 All of this should take no more than five minutes. But, by the end of that time, you should be wide awake, feeling fit, ready for. your morning shower and the days du- ties.

If you have been wise in the se- lection of slipcovers, you will need to use no special formula for laun- dering. Don't allow dust and dirt to become ingrained. Frequent laundering of slightly soiled covers is lots easier on both you and the fabric than strenuous dislodging of deep-seated soil.
