Little Will Power
Required to Stop
OdiOus Habit
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Many men have called to my
attention the unlovely habit of Bit
ing flngernails and they have urged
me to shame female culprits into
desisting.
If you bite your nails you should
ask yourself three questions:
/. Are you nervous and why are
you nervous?. 2. Is 1t just habit
which you enjoy? 3. Are you lack
ing something in your life which you
terribly desire?
If you are nervous don't waste
another day until you find out what
is making you nervous. If you are
not healthy, sacrifice some pleasure
and 60 pay physician to tell you
what to do about the condition. II
you are chronic worrier take your
self in hand and stop worrying.
Biting your fingernails doesn't help
the situation any. Face the trouble
and do something about it.
If for some inexplicable reason
you enjoy biting your fingernails and
seeing them torn down to your cuti-
Gle and of the most unlovely shape,
then you should be soundly and
thoroughly spanked!
If you answer the third question
in the affirmative, and you do terri
bly, want something which you cam
not seem to get, you must be the
brave little lady and make the best
of it! Instead of biting your nails
in pout, sit down and carefully
plan to get substitution for the
missing thing or missing some one.
There is preparation which sells
, for few cents which is bitter as
gall. This you paint beneath your
nails every morning with an orange
stick. At the first bite you are re-
minded of your odious habit and the
taste is bad enough to keep you from
taking the second bite That is
about the best thing I know of to
help you with your problem, other
than your own determination to let
your nails grow and to keep them
looking so very attractive that they
will be definite beauty asset.
Send for my leaflet, "Finger-Tip
Allure" to guide your home mani

Star and inclose a self addressed,

Manners
of the
Moment

People who wake up boisterously
cheerful in the mornings should
notice the moods of their families.
It's not every one who feels good.
For instance. If husband steps
into the kitchen, where anyone with
half a nose could tell that the toast
had burned, and the coffee boiled
over, and starts shouting brightly
about what a fine sleep he had, or
what q fine day 1t is, he has no
feeling for others.
With her toast just burned, a girl
isn't going to feel like dancing a
Jig. That's elementary. And her
husband should try his best to re-
member that.
She probably doesn't want COM
miseration. She's just as soon have
silence until she has made some
toast that Is all right. Then, the
cheerful one may work up gradually
into his more effervescent mood,
and perhaps by the time he leaves
for his train his wife will be able
to respond.
It's Just . matter Of tactics.

A man who is at the head of a
business that employees more than
a thousand men was discussing the
working wife problem the other day.
II am convinced" he said, that for
a woman to work outside OF her
home after she is married Is a great
mistake. The old traditional divis-
ion of labor between husband and
wife for the man to bring home the
bacon and the woman to fry it is the
natural one, and we upset it at our
peril.
Il am not talking, mind you, about
those tragic cases in which a wife
has to earn the dough as well as
bake it, or else her family would
starve. I am talking about those
starry-eyed young brides who feel
that they are being so noble when
they keep on with their jobs after
marriage because two pay enve-
lopes instead of one will enable them
to have a swankier apartment and
a better car and go out to more
night clubs.
'They think they are helping their
husbands to get start in the world
but, in reality, in SO cases out OF a
hundred they are doing the one
thing that is going to slow them
down and keep them from getting
anywhere. For man, by instinct, is
lazy and a selfish beast who needs
goad in his side to galvanize him
into action. When he lacks this
when he finds that he has a wife
who will take the burden of the
family support off of his shoulders
and rustic him a comfortable living
why he just sits back and lets her
do it.
"The coming men among our en-
ployes are those who accepted the
sole responsibility of providing for
their wives when they married. And
think this is easy to explain. They
are driven on by necessity. They
have got to make good. Their wives
would go cold and hungry but fol

actually erases the hair may be
used without harm, and it has been

Superluous hair is certainly not
attractive, and in this season of
short skirts hair showing through

women also object to the stubble

New Makeup in
Rosy Tone.
AS for that brand-new product
we spoke Of, it's a perfectly beau

firm famous for its excellent cos

a rare kind Of pastel tinted glass
called Opaline, and the shade is
just that delicate, rosy tint that will

There is, of course, hpstick, rouge

here's especially good news about
the lipsticks-not only in this new
shade, but in all the colors put out

which is destined to eliminate the
fuss and bother of struggling with

Man OF Borneo." It has seemed, for
some reason, ever so much more
remote than the familiar Philip
pines, although 1t is, as things go,
quite close to them. I have always
pictured 1t, somewhat hazily, as
being full Of nothing but jungles,
snakes and the before mentioned
wild man and his ilk-probably that
Is mainly because I was never very
bright In geography at school and
Mr.. Barnums ballyhoo made a far
greater impression!
So 1t was with the feeling of being
about to explore an entirely un-
known country that I tackled this
volume, which has won the $4,000
Atlantic non-f1ction prize. Its au-
thor, Agnes Newton Keith, the
American wife of an English official
IN Borneo, has been blessed with a
facile pen, a keen sense of humor
and an adaptability of mind and
body that is astounding to us stay
at-home typewriter pushers. What's
more, she can sketch-and admir-
ably; the illustrations in the book
which are half of its charm, are all
done by her and add immeasurably
to its atmosphere.
With such display of talent at
hand 1t is no wonder that her por-
trait of life In Borneo is such q
readable and even dramatic one
Her understanding and feeling for
the animals which abound there
her sly and always amusing digs at
the solemnity of the British "em-
pire builder" abroad are high lights
on many pages. Struggles with ma
tive servants and their ways, the
constant warfare against heat
damp, insects and disease-also play
their part in this document as it
unfolds. 1t really made me a bit
ashamed of my excitement over
buffalo moths here in Washington

Miss Trisquare was at the critical
point of lesson in algebra. The
new problem had been presented,
analyzed and discussed and the class
were about to try their newfound
experience when a tap, tap, tap"
on the classroom door interrupted.
There stood Alberts mother, who
had "just dropped ID to ask how
Albert was getting alo11g." OF course
she had seen his report card, but
she thought a few minutes talk with
the teacher might be helpful to both
Of them. She had selected the best
hour of the childrens time for her
little talk. The teacher tried to be
polite in her refusal to stop to talk
to her at the classroom door.

Mothers feelings were hurt. She
had taken her time to visit the
school and that was the reception
she got. after all this talk about
corporation between school and
home, parents and teachers, you're
told to call at the Office, and make
an appointment for a visit to the
teacher. Some idea of cooperation,
I'll say"
We will all say so. Cooperation
implies two sides to the relationship.
With whom was Albert's mother CO.
operating when she went to class
room where teacher and children
were working? She was not CO.
operating with the children, nor
with the teacher. nor with the prin-
cipal, nor with the school authorities.
She had thought of just one interest
her own, in her sons progress. She
had not considered that in going
to classroom and interrupting the
work there she was interfering with
Albert's progress, with the progress
of whole class. with the teachers
work, with the plan of the principal
and the policy of the school author
ity. She did the thing she wanted
to do at the moment and wasted
precious time and effort and money,
which taxpayers pay for teachers
time-and did nothing to help any
body.
But the school was to blame, too,
and fully as much. If a card was
sent home at the beginning of each
term, setting forth the schedule for
the pupil, and stating the hours for
visiting and conferring with his
teachers, Albert's mother would not
have made the mistake in the first
place, and the interruption need
never have occurred.
Most people understand that 1t is
necessary to make an appointment
to see busy people. Good manners
demand it; good business practice
compels it, thoughtfulness and
friendly cooperation insist upon it..
Every teacher should have fixed Wis
iting hours for parents. These should
be rigidly observed, visits and con-
ferences encouraged. classroom in
terruptions forbidden.
Parents are not the only ones who
interrupt the teachers work. Super
visors, social workers, fellow teachers,
are guilty as well. 1t is the children
who must pay for the wasteful prac-
tice. A little thought in this re-
spect would help great deal.

Soaking Pickles

Never soak pickles longer than
"a hours in salt solution. The
usual proportions for such a solu-

too salty. the pickles will tend to

THE IMpERIALI5T WAR
Surest Way to Keep America
Out of the War Is Stop
ping War Now.
Monopolies Anxious for War to
Continue in Order to Make
More Profits.

A survey comparing business
trends during the World War of 1914
to present day trends shows why
Wall St. and its newspapers and
radios are eager to continue the
present war. 1t also indicates that
Americas sixty families will drag
the United States into the war for
the glory of war-profits. This sur
vey is contained in Economic Notes
published by Labor Research Asso-
citation.
The survey shows the immense
profits and speculations that Wall
st. gamblers have already made. In
one day-Sept. 5-Wall st. invest
ments increased by 3 billion dollars
in value. Every time there is
threat" of peace, stocks drop a few
points. The survey further shows
that the number of Americans who
are profiting from the blood of
Europe's men, women and children
(and later American blood-if Wall
St. has its way) make up less than
one-tenth of one per cent of the
total population.
The average American is already
paying for the war through the in
creased cost of vital necessities. The
Dept. of Labor states that the cost
of living has increased 10 per cent.
Labor Research Association shows
that wheat has increased 20 per cent
corn, "a per cent-rye, % per cent
sugar, rs per cent. Any housewife
in Butte can show the substantial
increase in the prices of meat, eggs
and other foods.
In a recent speech, Earl Browder,
1886 presidential candidate of the
Communist party, said:
LET us understand this-that
profits out of this war will not do
America any good. More than that,
profits out of this war are going to
be a curse to the American people.
Out of the profits derived from the
blood of the peoples of Europe will
arise stronger and stronger those
forces that will drag America into
the war, when profits can no longer
be made only from Europe, but will
have to be squeezed out of the blood
of American boys. The only way to
keep America out of war is to keep
the profiteers from making profits
out of the war. The main line of
struggle for peace for America is a
struggle against monopolists and
profiteers, don't forget that. Only if
the American workers, farmers and
middle classes fix their eyes on this
line will they be able to defeat those
forces that would drag our country
into war, the forces of Wall ST..
