 Young women woul abe lot more interesting in their own right fl they could learn three things: That there is nothing unusual enough about girls being in love with her husband and excited over keeping house to make it seem mo- mentous or even slightly interesting to other people.
 That no matter how bright hs, young son or daughter is, three re- marks about the young man in one evening (not counting those eve- nings spent with grandparents) should be considered a limit.
 And that the problems of home- making-such as the best way to launder table linen-are poor con- versational bet when the company is not made up exclusively of house. wives.

 Mothers will have to recognize, l suggest, that their boys are made of different stuff from girls. Boy na- ture demands excitement chiefly to prove to the boys that they can face 1t and take it. Deep in the heart of most boys lies buried the dream of conquest. It takes different forms, not always physical, but mostly so.
 I think that Jimmy's mother should, not try to make him all gra- ciousness and accommodation. On the other hand I recommend that his father allow the gentler side of his son to have It's way.

WOMAN,S REALM
Luxurious? Yes, But These Are Budget
FlJRS
By MARIAN YOUNG NEA Service Stan Correspondent

NEA ServlCe SLan COrrespOnuent New York-Good news for the girl on budget is the fact that modern processing methods have made some of the least expensive furs look as if they belong in the luxury class. Goats and jackets in the budget departments have taken on real glamor this year.
 There's muskrat, for example, an old favorlte and one of the best wearing furs on the market, dyed to resemble mink and called mink blended muskrat. In boxy jackets, short swaggers and in full-length, fitted and fared mod els, mink blended muskrat Is something to consider seriously.
 Smart, too, is sheared raccoon, as long-wearing as It's long-haired counterpart--still seen on the col lege campus--but much lighter and in higher styled silhouette. The new processing of raccoon allows this fur, formerly identified exclus- lively with sports, to be used to make new swing-back and even fitted styles, often in combinations with colored suede insets, running par allel with the pelts.
 Sheared lambskin Is another smart fur well within the range of the low budget. In rich, dark browns, 1t Is used to fashion stun ming, swaggers-ideal for sports, football game and other equal daytime occasions.
 Skunk, natural squirrel, gray kidskin, ocelot and Hudson seal come in for their share of attention, too. The short, boxy skunk jacket still Is featured.
 This year, fortunately, there's an alternative for the girl who has a small amount of money to spend on coat but simply does- mt happen to like any of the sO- called budget groups of coats. She can have a short jacket in a lux ury fur for just about what a full-length coat In a non luxury fur would cost.
 For instance, unless she lives ir cold climate, she may prefer short jacket of Alaska sealskin beaver or very fine caracul to long coat of lambskin, Hudson seal ol sheared raccoon.

VEAL NEEDS EXTRA FAT

Since veal is not a fatty meat, it's @ good idea to lay strips of salt pork over the roast while baking. Season the roast with salt and papper and bake skin side up in a covered roas- ter, allowing about twenty-five to thirty minutes to the pound. Veal should be well done.

ONE TOOTH MISSING

The old adage that a man digs his grave with his teeth implies the man has teeth to dig with; when you stop to consider 1t doesn't add up, does 1t? I think there is more truth in the modern view that the character of the everyday diet de- termines the condition of the teeth, so that one fortunate or intelligent enough to preserve his teeth in good functional condition, for chewing natural foodD stands the best chance of attaining longevity
 If you're really thinking about 1t now, you are bound to conjecture whether the good nutrition or the well preserved teeth come first--it is something like the famous chicken or egg controversy. Speculate all you like about that, but don't get silly about 1t. Somewhere around the circle waits the dentor, who is the indispensable factor in any scheme of developing and preserving good teeth.
 So I repeat 1t is to say that every tooth lost by disease, ac- cident or design subtracts year or two from the individuals life ex- pectation, unless its function is carried on by suitable denture." A denture Is any artifice your den- tor installs to take the place of or give the appearance of the tooth or teeth missing.
 One brilliant correspondent, ap- parently inspired by Ethyl Hldrate, seized on this estimate as an ex- ample of the utter imbecility of all of my teachings. Hadn't his grand- father had all of his teeth extracted at the age of 40 and never worn denture throughout the rest of his long life? He would be satisfied tc equal his grandfathers prowess, for grandfather gummed 1t well into his eighties.
 Another correspondent reacts ir a different way. She says one oi her front teeth was extracted years ago because some dentor or doctor pronounced 1t dead tooth (tha'

final Chapter Written
In Cannon Libel Suit

The final chapter in the famous
libel suit of Bishop James Cannon
ir., against Representative George
H. Tinkham was written recently
when the Virginia churchman signed
his personal check for approximately
$3.50 and sent it to the Representa-
tives attorney in payment of appeal
costs.
The check was sent to Attorney
Roger ]. Whiteford, who defended
Representative Tinkham during the
long court battle waged by the
bishop after Mr.. Tinkham accused
him In a speech in the House with
violating the Corrupt Practices Act
during the presidential campaign OF
1928.
Mr. Tinkham had charged that
the bishop received $65,3OO as a
campaign contribution and reported
only $4,000 to the clerk of the
House. The churchman's suit for
s50O,000 was quashed by the United
States Court Of Appeals in January
of 1898.
Subsequent efforts to take the case
to the United States Supreme Court
and to have 1t reviewed were un-
availing.
The bishops check, Mr.. Whiteford
said, was for the balance of court
costs of 1926 assessed against him
The bishop already had paid $50
the attorney said, through a bond
for that amount he posted upon his
appeal.

Senator Smiths remark was made

a proposal by Senator Pepper

all existing relief funds were ex-

was delayed.
The aftermath to the South Caro-

lecture aimed directly at Senator
Smith.

Pepper declared, that, in my opin-

pendulum will swing toward the
