getting some thing out of 1t - building up their egoes and stifiing competition. But it's not to our advantage to laugh 8 woman out of politics.
 If the number of women who hold public office in this country isn't to continue diminishing, we have got to stand up for ourselves.
 Of course, some women who campaign for public jobs, and even some who get them, make monkies of themselves. But look at the male politicians in the country. There is an impressive lot of nuts in that collection.
 Where women take it on the nose is by having men blame any dumb move 8 woman politician makes on the simple fact of her being a woman. And then having other women stupidly and ingratiatingiy echo the absurd deduction. If we aren't to slide as far down. hill as the women in other coun- tries, we've got to get going. Instead of regarding women pol- iticians as freaks, let's grow up and judge them as officeholders. If they are every bit as good as the men running against them-by all means, let's vote for the women. We women alone know how smart women really are.

 'No woman could keep him long. I wouldn't let myself fall in love with him for all the money in the world. I'm funny that way"
 "All right, my dear. shouldn't have insisted. I only want you to be happy. And, naturally. I want my girl to have the best of everything. I hope haven't been too mercenary." Not bit, mother. You are as natural as air. Most mothers want their girls, and believe it or not, their boys, too, to make money matches if possible"

Heart Failure And Reserve
 Power
 There may be no symptoms or signs to show that anything is the matter at the time acute or chron- ic endocarditis develops, unless the physician keeps the possibility of such complication in mind and watches the patient closely, includ- ing listening to the heart action at each visit, inth course of such ill., nesseS as chorea (St. Vitus's Dance), acute tonsillitis, quinsy, acute in- fectious arthritis (inflammatory rheumatism" rheumatic" fever), scarlet fever, septic (streptococcus) sore throat, erysipelas, puerperal fever and occasionally gonorrhea. This is the main reason why the physician commonly prescribes REST IN BED in the acute or early stage of such illnesses, even though the patient may feel able and prefer to be up and about. The victim of endocarditis inflammation of heart lining) becomes aware that some- thing is wrong only fater weeks or months, when the inflammatory eX- udate or negotiations" resulting from the Judgement of the bacteria in the heart lining membrane be- gin to interfere with perfect seat ing of the heart valve and there is consequently the leakage of blood back through the damager valve at each heart beat. Of course this hap pens only when the portion of lin- ing membrane covering the valve is affected; endocarditis elsewhere in the heart does no permanent harm.
 So you see, the individual with endocarditis may be, serenely un- aware of his illness during its course, and experience manifesto tions of circulatory deficiency only weeks or months after the acute ill., ness has passed.
 The essential purpose of circula- tion is to supply oxygen to the body cells. The most emphatic symptoms of any impairment, weakening or failure of the circulation, whether from valvular disease, heart mus cle fiabbiness, arteriosclerosis, to- baccoism, achromic anemia or sec- ondary anemia, is breathlessness or labored breathing, painting on slight exertion or, in some instances, con- stant dyspnea (pronounced dis-ne- ah, accent on the ne and the D silent, notwithstanding or Doc Webster, to the contrary) Dyspnea means difficult, hard, labored breath ing, panting, pufing, wheezing. The condition of the individual with such circulatory deficiency or heart failure is comparable with the condition of man running 8 mar athon race. Naturally one begins to get a bit "winded" at the end of the first half mile, but if one is in normal health, and especially if one is fairly trained, one gets second wind' somewhere around the end of the first mile.
 But here the similarity ceases. The individual with valvular de- ficiency or even just flabbiness of the heart muscle has only sufficient heart power to maintain the circu- lation while he is at rest or for very moderat exertion. If he is

WOMAN,S REALM =
Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Haxs
NEA Service Stan Writer

NEA Service Stan Writer
 When your young daughter was very little, you brushed her hair yourself. You kept her nails smooth and comfortable so she wouldn't bite them, and you pushed back the cuticle around them until now itI stays back. Her teeth are straight you saw to that. Her feet and legs are very nice. For the past few years you've been proud of the youngsters appearance.
 Lately, however, you've been a little worried. Your daughters pos- ture isn't all it was. She walks with her shoulders slumped forward to hide the fact that she's getting so tall. When she sits, she drRpes her. self all over the furniture. Her complexion gets bunny now and then. Her interest in her nails and hair comes now and then. Her in- terest in her nails and hair comes in spurts. For weeks she just won't do anything about them. But, for weeks following, she over-does the whole business, insisting on wearing scarlet polish and all sorts of queer cultures.
 About the best--in fact, the only thing you can do about the situa- tion is to be pretty philosophical, as tolerantly understanding as pos- sible. Meanwhile, you and her older sisters ought to try to set her fine examples.
 Give the 12-year-old her own manicure set and teach her to use properly each instrument in it. In- vite her to your room once a week .to do our nails together" Talk to her, without appearing to be lec- turing, about good taste in groom ing, the importance of having healthy, shiny hair-the result of cleanliness and nightly brushing. Do a couple of posture exercises to- gether now and then.
 Having Her Own Beauty Kit
 Is Big Help
 See that she has her own nail and bath brushes, a shower cap and perhaps her own giant-size cake of bath soap. Don't let her forget to wash her face thoroughly and rinse it carefully with very cold water each night before she goes to bed. The growing girl needs to sleep at least eight hours every night. She ought to get quantities of outdoor exercise, too. And her diet, like your own, should include plenty of fresh vegetables, milk and orange juice, crisp, green salads and fresh and Stewed fruit.
 If, in spite of rigorous attention to health habits and thorough cleansings, your child's skin doesn't seem to improve, by all means talk to your family doctor. Don't dismiss chronic blemishes with any oh- she'n-outgrow-it attitude. Maybe she will outgrow her present com plexion ailments. Again, maybe she won't unless given proper treatment. Do all you can to help the 12- year-old realize that her youthful, fresh-faced look is her chief asset right now. Time enough for quan- titles of elaborate cosmetics later on. If most of her friends are wear ing lipstick and powder, you'll prob- ably have to give in on this point. But do try to get her to wait year or two before going in for dark shades of nail polish, eye makeup for parties and other "sophistica- ted" effects.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Take Y0I1r Fasting EaSY

 Answer-Carrington is not a phy- sician. The notion that 50 per cent of the energy derived from food is used in digesting the food is absurd. The entire process of digestion con- sumes not more than 2 per cent of the energy derived from the food. Omitting 8 meal or two is some times advisable, for overnourished persons, in the onset of any acute cri. For younger persons, not too we'll nourished, it may be bad med icine.

ROTTT

NEW YORK-Bob Pastor, the
sprinting heavyweight who was fortu-
nate enough to stay the appointed ten
round distance with Champion Joe
Louis, at this stage of the conference
seems most likely to be given another
opportunity to run from the devastat-
ing heaves of the eminent Brown
Bomber, or, if he possesses the ability
to do so, lift the crown from his sturdy
dome. Detroit has been carefully
selected as a magnetic battlefield for
the fracas, as it is the Bomber's home

Tigers, will meet Promoter Mike Jacobs
in a conference on july 10 as the start
of the plan to bring the battle to the

(KNS)-"ChiIdren should be seen

Now that school children are on vaca-

this advice, because after all a child
does not need a license to walk or run
in the street. but on the other hand
an automobile needs to be registered
and the driver of the automobile must
have a license to drive it.
Bicyclists, to date, need no license in
Massachusetts, but they must heed this
warning and keep off the sidewalks and
look out for themselves as well as for
others.
Everybody therefore must remember
