THE RUSTY KEY TO vITE

THE RUSTY KEY ID WIFE
 Physiologically calcium prevents neuro-muscular irritability, main- tains vigorous heart beat or "tone" of the heart muscle, diminishes capillary permeability-we can't go into the significance of all this upon general health and vite at the mo- ment, but it is well to realize that calcium metabolism is pretty im- portant, that it is controlled by vitanin D and vitamin D is rnanu- facturer in your body if your naked skin enjoys sufficient exposure to sunshine or skyshine just in the course of short vacation but more or less the year around, with due regard for comfort.
 Nudity or a reasonable approach to nudity (not nudism) is one of the seven keys to vite, but this key has become so rusty from disuse and quaint servility to convention and prejudice, that the very people who need it most just cannot take their place in the sun.
 Sunlight through ordinary window glass contains practically no ultra violet, and windows of special glass transmit only part of the ultra violet.
 Ultraviolet lamps supply a fair quantity of ultraviolet and are bet ter than nothing but hardly to be compared with exposure to sunshine in the open, whenever or wherever there is any sunshine or Skyshine available.
 No cosmetic prevents sunburn except by preventing the sun from reaching the skin-say a heavy coat of powder or some white or light colored ointment or some covering which screens out much of the light It is silly to imagine certain mys- terious medicaments prevent sum- burn and favor tanning. Prevention of sunburn is a matter of good judg- ment as to the degree and time o1 exposure-the exposure should ter minate as soon as the first flush occurs - to continue exposure tc ultra violet after that is to invite painful burn. Tanning is promoted by regular daily exposure just short of that first degree burn which amounts to mere flushing or redness of the skin with some slight burn ing, itching or irritation.
 Every well planned home should have a place where members of the family may take air bath or sun bath regularly, @ place screened against wind in cold weather but otherwise open to all the sunshine available in the middle of the day If necessary the space may be cov- cred or enclosed by windows o1 glass whichis permeable by ultra violet; or better, though of course not so endurable, by cellophane laid on light chicken wire-such screens or windows stand weathering fol months and transmit more of the ultraviolet than expensive glass Wherever it is at all possible te endure exposure to the open air sum- shine, using artificial heat about

 o. What is the best method for washing silks and rayons?
 A. Before washing, shake the gar- ments to remove the dust. Dissolve pure soap flakes in boiling water, using one tablespoonful to basin of water. If the water is hard, more soap may be needed to make good studs. Next, add some cold water to make the suds lukewarm, and douse the garments up and down in them, letting the soapy water penetrate the material and loosen the dirt. Do not pull, rub, and twist the material because that may cause the colors to, run or may weaken or shift the threads. Rinse in water of the same

RAISING A FAMILY --- Any Child Will Work Gladly If It Seems Like Playing

ularity and routine. This is true, naturally. time, closely followed, becomes second nature, without much question. So do meal-time and time and the whole regimen of a young child's world. But there are other matters that crop up daily outside of routine. This, then, is our opportunity to associate the irkSome with the happy in Jimmy's or Sue Ellen's mind.
 But there is the usual warning to be offered here. It is one thing to establish work habit and good con- duct through the play mood, and another to rely on it forever. If a child continues to do only those things that appeal to his mood at the moment, he will be weakened materially for all his future when it comes to facing job for the jobs sake alone.
 Avoid Too Much Fun"
 This has been my quarrel from the first with many of the experi- mental or progressive schools that sought to plant knowledge and work habit exclusively through, the chan nels of the child's interest" or play mood. It works splendidly with small children, but even so, they simply have to learn to do things they do not care for.
 In a youngsters life, such exper- fences are occurring daily. So the answer, I think, is gradually to re- duce the comedy relief as he grows in judgment. It should not be edited out of the script altogether. for we need lightness and fun in daily liv- ing, but DO and DON'T should be accepted nicely as part of the theme. A careful blend of fun and must" is important.

 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service staif Writer


 A surprisingly large number of smart women are washing and ar ranging their own hair this spring. This is due, no doubt, to the fact that the baby coiffure, the up-and- down and the upswept for very long hair require soft curls and no waves.
 If you have an authentic baby coiffure, no hair on your head is any more than two inches long. Such short locks certainly present no washing or drying problem.
 After thorough shampoo, sim- ply pour bit of wave-set lotion on your short hair, use one of the new curler gadgets to make little ringlets all over your head. Pin these securely and leave the pins in until your hair is dry. After ward, brush hair upward, then use on e forefinger and 8 tail comb to make soft baby curls.
 Ringlets More Difficult
 For an up-and-down, put long ends at the back and 8 forelock of shorter hair at the 1ronC on curlers. Now smooth down hair on top and back of the head and tie a ribbon around head at bot ton of the flat area and just above the back curlers. This will keep hair flat while curls are drying. When hair is quite dry, brush thoroughly, then arrange ringlets above fore head and at nape of the neck.
 An upswept with ringlets atop the head is pretty difficult to manage at home. But if your hair is quite long, it can be brushed upward all the way around and finished on top in 8 fiat chignon. When it is only about half dry, brush it upward, put top hair on curlers and let dry. If you intend to wear your hair up, it's 8 mistake to let it hang down while it is drying.
