Throat Line
Kept Firm
With Care
Slouchy Posture Is
Easily Corrected
By Exercises
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY,

Long before we are ready for it,
age begins to show itself in our
throat and chin line! Our face mus
cles may still be firm and our figures
pleasingly slim, but "crepey" skin
on the throat and a fabby chin line
tell the world that we are getting
on in years!
AS a general rule, women do not
pay enough attention to the preser-
vation of this line After 25 years of
age every girl should massage her
throat daily with cleansing cream
and use on it the same powder base
she uses on her face skin. At night
a specific throat cream should be
used-for such a cream contains
richer oils than most face creams.
The actual massaging of the throat
muscles as you put on and take off
the creams is beneficial And regu-
larity of massage means a great deal.
AS we grow older there is a tend
ency to let our posture slump. And
what mistake we make there! We
should strive harder to keep our
posture perfect for good posture
keeps you young looking and healthy.
Seldom do you see singer with
rounded shoulders, a hollow chest
or flabby abdomen. They have fine
carriage and usually firm, lovely
throats.
Two simple exercises to correct
slumped posture are these: When
you are sitting quietly reading a
book suddenly let yourself droop
forward-slumped as far as your body
will go. Then quickly pull your
chest up, straighten your shoulders,
thrust your head back and pull in
your stomach. This will auto
matically force you to bring up your
book nearer to eye level.
To strengthen your diaphragm
and to get your shoulders back
where they belong (taking your chin
with themD do this: Lie on the
floor. Stretch your legs downward
and your arms upward. YaWn!
Then pile several heavy books on
your stomach and put your arms at
your sides parallel to your body
Through deep breathing and muscle
force, raise and lower the books for
five minutes.
If your chin is full and flabby,
chin strap will help you-especially
ii you can wear 1t for a few hours
about the house After massaging
your chin with a throat cream. apply
cooling and strong astringent.
Then tie the strap about your head
When you remove it. dash very cold
water on your chin and throat and
go through the chin exercises you
know.

Do Not Push
Premature
Children
Prodding a Tired
Mind and Body
May do Harm
BY ANGELO PATRI.

When a child is born prematurely
1t is fair to suppose that he lost the
growth that the full term would
have allowed him. 1t is also fair to
measure that loss. at least by guess,
on the basis of the time loss. 1t is
not possible to measure the loss ac-
curately, but we must remember that
it occurred and that the child Is
weighted by that loss.
The loss varies from major de-
fects that are incurable to slight
loss of endurance that can easily be
adjusted; from sense deficiency to
a tendency to fatigue early; from an
irreparable loss to something scarcely
noticeable The point is that par
ents and teachers having to do with
such children must always be on
guard to prevent overstrain, or ILL
ness. or encouragement resulting
from them.
A child in the second year ele-
mentary school failed completely
and his mother felt bad about it
Il study with him every night.
keep him in from play I don't let
him go to the movies or listen to the
radio, because he doesn't get his les
sons. make him study. and pun
ish him if he gets poor marks. 1 do
everything l can do, and he won't
learn. What can 1 do?"
This child was a seven month
baby Let his mother, in her great
anxiety to have him as other chill
dren are, hide that fact from her
self and from the teachers. This
child was really about two years
younger than the full-term children
he was working with, yet he was
being held to the same task. For
his actual condition he was doing
wonders and was being punished for
it. When he was given a rest, as
signed to a special group whose pro-
grams allowed for a wide span with
in the grades-reading in one class
number in another, rest hours, ad-
justed play and exercise, between
time feeding-he began to grow like
a gosling. Luckily. he had no grave
defect and could get along we'll when
consideration was given his stage OF
growth.
In some children the loss is indi-
Gated only by a tendency to early
fatigue. For a time-maybe an hour
or so-the child works along in ster
with his class. Then his power
f1ags-he slows down, stops work
idles, The teacher prods him, and
he takes up his pencil once more, but
he does nothing with it. Then the
trouble starts.
Prodding tired mind and BODY
will not rest it any. Rest will re-
store power-and only rest will do it
Instead of pushing the tired child
into making extra effort, when he
has nothing to make it with, give
him rest. Send him into the open
air to sit in the sun. Or send him
home to lie down for awhile, drink
glass of milk, eat a bit of fruit
and keep quiet until his wells OF
energy are filled again. Then he
can work.
Healthy children work happily
enough. They have their off days
their spells Of waywardness, all in
the days routine. But ailing chill.
dren, tired children, children born
short in any particular, must have
special consideration and specia
care. School, home-all that con.
Germs them-must be adjusted tc
their needs. Otherwise one sweep,
the sea with broom.

tect it from insects and fungi. Other
woods are cypress, redwood and
white cedar which are all good. In
selecting shingles be sure not to

as their surface will not absorb

tendency to warp.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
We have just added a new room
to our house and now have a win
dow at one end of the living room
which is unnecessary and unat-
tractive as it looks into a corridor.
We cannot block it off without re-
papering the whole room. which
was done just last year. Have you
any bright idea of what might be
done with it B. G.L.
Answer am not sure that this
Is particularly bright idea. but
l have seen it worked out and it
Is attractive. Take out the window
sash but not the frame and trim.
Back it with ply board and have
shelves put in to make a bookcase.
With the proper arrangement of
furniture this will often give a de-
hghtful balance to a room that is
otherwise commonplace.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
We have an enclosed back porch
painted gray, and some maple fur
niture we'd like to use in it. Could
you suggest suitable color scheme
to follow when we cover the cush-
ions OF the chair and sofa? If it
were possible to paint the porch
what color would you suggest?
M. j. w.
AnsWer-Your maple furniture
will be very nice with your gray
background. I would suggest lemon
yellow, cool green and deep brown
with it. You might cover the cush-
ions with plaid gingham or striped
washable material in these colors.
If your porch gets lots of sunlight
try a cool green or chalk blue for
walls, if it is dull try primrose or
sunlight yellow or white. But if the
gray that you now have is a nice
shade you will be delighted with the
way the lemon yellow and green
will light it up, and use your deep
brown and some white for light and
dark accents.

Dorothy Dix Says
Husbands and Wives Should Not
Trespass on Each Others Jobs

The old pattern of marriage.
wherein the man went out and got
the bacon and the woman STAYED
at home and fried it. and neither
one meddled with the others busi-
ness, seems to be the best solution
OF the domestic problem after all
For, strangely enough, nothing else
IN the world arouSeS such bitter
Jealousy as for a married couple
to be rivals in their professions.
Many marriage that has survived
platinum blondes and soulful-eyed
preachers and handsome doctors is
wrecked on the husband S biscuit
and the wife's salesmanship.
We all know what happens when
the gray mare is the better horse.
The husband invariably jumps the
bars into some greener pasture
wherein grazeS a nice little nitwitt
filly who will tell him how big and
strong and wonderful he is. instead
of reminding him of the blunders
he made and the bad judgment he
showed, and that he wouldn't have
lost that contract if he had taken
her advice.
Nearly every woman who is sue
cessful in a business or profession
has been divorced a time or two, not
because of her failings as wife, but
because her husband couldn't stand
for her to make more money than
he did, or be more prominent. The
deadliest insult you can offer any
man is to call him Mr.. Mamie Jones
The only compliment a husband
ever relishes about his wife is when
you praise her looks, or her clothes,
or her cooking
And women get equally green-eyed
when their husbands step out of
their sacred masculine sphere. as is
abundantly proved by the fact that,
although they are always complain
ing about their never helping with
the children, or taking any interest
in fixing up the home, or lending a
hand with the cooking, the minute
Gunga Din shows he can run a
house better than the Mrs. she is at
his throat like tigress.
In her heart no woman really
wants domestic husband who keeps
his own clothes in order and who
can sew on a button so it won't come
of. When she tolerates one who can
make a beefsteak sauce and scrubs
up the bathroom on Sunday, it is

Many people prefer to use equal
quantities of golden ginger ale and
very strong tea instead of spices.
Little sWeetenlng is needed here,
because of the ginger ale favor.
Lemon juice and mint are good,

that nothing can kill, or else has
religious scruples against divorce.
So there you are, and it goes to
show that even in marriage the
shoemaker should stick to his last
and that husbands and wives get
along best together when they do
not interfere with each others Jobs.
The wife that every man wants is a
competent housekeeper, not a flnan-

man who will eat what is set before
