for these caterpillars that you may
see accomplishing her mission in
life. It is the ichneumon-fly with
her marvellous egg-placer. She
presses the tender skin of the young
caterpillar sufficiently to fasten her
eggs upon it. When a tiny egg
matches, the hitch-hiker grub i'm
mediately bites its way into the body
Of its host and feasts upon its fatty
tissues which lie close under the
skin.
The caterpillar eats and eats, and

its maturity, the beastly little thief

Its exquisite white cocoon, in which

for a semester, and the parent squares himself with the agency by a series of "easy payments"
 Critics of the installment plan of buying will hate to see the method get into education. But hardwork- ing, white-collar dads who are de- termined ito get their kids through college" ought to welcome it.
 They got the car, the electric re- friegerator, the new living room fur niture that way-and they are used to it. Taking on another monthly payment won't upset their scheme of things too much, where raising large sum of money in September and another in January-both diffi- cult months anyway-might be quite a problem.
 We are used to having more than we can pay cash for-and the prin- ciple might better be applied to edu- cation than any other luxury.
 It's a fine scheme so far as it concerns the Dad who intended to send Son to college no matter what. But 1t is going to be tough on the father who had no such in- tentions. Because with the easy payment plan as an argument, Mother and Son won't give him any peace. They'll get a college degree in the family the same way they managed to get the family car.
 And if Dad falls down on the payments, he can't say - Well.

Six Cabinet Wives Who Really Entertain

lace has the krlack of making her guests feel instantly at ease. Her parties are the sort where one doesn't sit up straight on the edge of the chair-ever conscious that ones host is an important official.
 Young, red-haired Mrs. Harold Ickes, wife of the Secretary of the Interior, looks like the head of a college sorority house. She has the distinction of being not only the newest cabinet hostess, put also the only one with whom it is known the President has dined this season as a guest.
 She held her first official "at home" a few days ago. It is to be hoped that the mobs of curious and hungry women who descended on her on that occasion did not dis courage the newest cabinet hostess. Mrs. Ickes' handsome spacious house of Headwater Farm in Mary land is ideally suited to entertaining on large scale.

for the Presidents official family.
 Officially, each cabinet hostess is "at home" two Wednesdays each year. At the opening of a new so- cial season in Washington, the cab inet wives meet with Mrs. Roose- welt to discuss how they shall di- vide these dates.
 After that, it's up to the indi- vidual.
 Mrs. Harry Woodring is prob- ably the busiest of the lot. The charming and beautiful wife of the Secretary of War gives great many private parties. On top of that she spends much of her time with her three very young chill dren. The other children of cab met members are in their teens or fully grown.
 Mrs. Cordell Hull, wife of the Secretary of State, gives intimate tea parties in her suite at the Carl ton Hotel At these parties, Mrs. Hull, with diplomatic reserve and characteristic tact, has heart to heart talk with every wife in the embassy set, sometimes during the season.

Even the most expert permanent wave operator is somewhat handl- capped if the hair he is working with is too dry, too oily. dull or stringy or in some other unhealthy condition. In order that he may do a really excellent job, thereby glv- ing you an ideal permanent, do get your hair into the best possible condition before you go to him.
 If possible, have a professional scalp treatment every time you have a shampoo for about a month be- fore you intend to get permanent. If this isn't possible, give yourself weekly hot oil or tonic treatments at home.
 If your hair is quite dry and inclined to be dull instead Of shiny and bright, oil treatments are in order. Brush hair thoroughly, part it in sections and rub hot olive oil on the scalp. Then massage 1t In, placing your elbows on 8 table, putting your head in your hands and manipulating scalp with fingertips. Afterward, wrap lightweight cot- ton towel around your head and leave the oil on all night. Next day, shampoo inthe usual man. ner.
 If your hair is excessively oily and inclined to go limp the second day after shampoo, get tonic designed especially to correct this condition and massage it into your scalp the night before the regular shampoo.
 Oily or dry, limp of stiff and harsh, by all means use your hair brush every single night. Brush up-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-02-22

At the height of the 1918-19 in- fiuenza epidemic a considerable number of (a) frightened and (b) well informed people took to wear ing masks.
 When people took to wearing masks for protection against the flu a considerable number of other peo- pie became Gal frightened and some of them became (b) well informed.
 I don't know whether personal health or public health benefits more when any one wears a mask against the cri. It all depends on the quality or type of mask worn and the I. o. of the individual and the section of the public concerned.
 In the first place wearing mask against the flu or any other pre- vailing respiratory infection implies acceptance of the belief or teaching that the disease is spread via drop lets of moisture or secretion emitted from nose or mouth during cough ing, sneezing or talking. The virus or germ of the disease is conveyed in the droplets, not only the larger droplets which are palpable or vis- ible, but also in finer droplets which may be impalpable and invisible to the naked eye, to lodge upon the face of anyone who happens to be within range, and some of the drop- lets may be inhaled directly.
 This may not be a pleasant sub ject to think about. Indeed radio broadcasting chain censor forbade me to refer to it in some talks I gave over the air, as it might not be nice for women and children to learn about such things. On the air as elsewhere you say only what the interests want the public to hear or else.
 Physicians and nurses trained in the aseptic technique of the oper- ating room and the contagious dis ease hospital understand why and how to use a mask for prevention of the spread of infection. The lay man should understand but gen. orally doesn't. The main reason the layman doesn't understand why and how to use this safety precaution is the carelessneSs or incompetence of the old time practitioner, the elderly and perhaps beloved doctor who had little, if any training in aseptic technique during his prepar- ation for practice and hence never has acquired positive principles which do not give way before the conventions and fancies of the pulp lie.
 A mask that is effective against any respiratory infection caused by germs consists of not less than ten layers of gauge (cheesecloth) having a mesh of 32 threads to the inch. It should measure at least 4x8 inches and it may be held in place covering nose and mouth by means of tapes attached to each corner and tied at the back-one pair go-

ing over the ears, the other pair under the ears.
 Uninitiated critics sometimes ob- serve that such a mask would hardly stop disease germs. But it stops the spray droplets, and that is all that is required to prevent the spread of cri due to germs.
 Whether such a mask stops the virus of influenza am not 50 cer- tain, but believe it is nearly, if not quite, as dependable a barrier against the transfer of virus (or- ganisms too small to be visible through the ordinary meteorological microscope, ubt perhaps viSitble through the -microcope) as 1t is against cri in general, say diph- theria or pneumonia.
 Of course such mask must be worn always with the same side, if it is donned and removed frequently through the day. When 1t becomes soiled it should be discarded and 8 clean one put on. Ordinary washing and ironing is sufficient disinfection or sterilization for such masks. Of course boiling destroys any disease germ or virus anyway. Soap is ex- cellent antiseptic. The heat of iron- ing practically sterilizes clothing. A mask worn ont only protects the wearer against catching flu or other cri but, when worn by a per- son coming down with or i'll witli flu or other cri, it protects persons around the patient from contracting the disease.
 Another type of mask especially suitable for physicians, nose as.. throat specialists particularly, as well as for dentors and their assist ants, and for nurses, a type which I believe might be more acceptable to | the public than the gauge mask described, is really a transparent shield of cellophane or similar material held before the face on spectacle frame. Dr. Lewis J. Silvers devised such mask or shield, made of washed, on-inflammable X-ray ] film, having snap fasteners by means of which it may be attached to the headband of the physicians headlamp or mirror. The shield hangs far enough away from nose and mouth to permit ventilation, yet effectually prevents spray trans- fer.
 There are two recommendations I would make to the individual in yef- erence to the flu. First, do not resort to coaltar derivative as a remedy such as aspirin or acetanilide in any of its innumerable disguises purporting to be remedies for ''colds," grip, flu sore throat and the like. Second, if any medicine that layman may use with reasonable safety has preventive or remedial value against the flu it Is, in my opinion, just plain old quinine for adults. two grains of quinine sul- phate three times a day as prophy- tactic; for children under ten, one grain twice or three times a day: in capsule, tablet or pill; for from week to six or eight weeks or for duration of the epidemic.
