will make it harder for enemies to block
the canal to the passage of our war
ships. Further, we have just sent a
mission to Nicaragua to survey another
route for a canal connecting the two
oceans. A Nicarauguan @anal would
shorten the distance between our coasts
by some days and would be an addi-
tional safeguard for our fleets passage
into either ocean. The eminent Sena-
tor Morgan of Alabama fought until his
death for Nicarauguan instead of a
Panamenian canal. II was estimated
that the latter would cost about half
sa much and could be built in much
shorter time so the Panama route was
chosen. Roosevelt was responsible for
the choice.

to get everything done.
Elections over for four years, thank
goodness! And we have new governor,
new sheriff, a new tax assessor, a
grand three-some of representatives
and, oh, well--we had a swell election!
Those that were beat took their lickings
like the men that they were and those
who won, won gracefully and with CRATE
full hearts. There's only one thing that
this election has impressed upon me,
however, that | feel will stay with me
and that's just this-May the Lord in
Heaven keep me on the reporting side of
politics and never on the receiving end!
And that's a prayer from the heart!

the cry! But we're the generation that

the generations of two decades ago can
tell you that the survival is the worst
part of war! No sooner does the world

Manner RS
of the
Moment

There's not much trouble, I'll ad-
NIT, caused by too much politeness
at the bus door. But the other day
I saw it happen. Two gentlemen,
evidently strangers, began to fight
with each other for the privilege Of
entering the bus last. 1t was a
rare sight and should have been
a heart-warming one.
But strangely enough it wasn't.
It seemed rather silly. In the first
place I was in a hurry and the
length Of time it took the two men
to reach a decision and climb on
the bus annoyed me. And in the
second place the bus driver was
writhing. He finally gave up and
yelled at the gentlemen. Come on,
Emily Post" he said. IT have to
make schedule"
So I came to the conclusion that
although manners are a charming
thing in the parlor they can be car
ried to extremes in the street. 1t is
just as well to be fortnight and
honest when approaching such
things as buses. Climb on when
your turn comes and let Che next
man do the same. It fits in a little
bit more easily to the modern scene
than bowling and scraping

Subscription
Is
Very Easy
Explain Situation
In Your Letter
To the Firm
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: On my birthday
I received card from relative who
lives far away, informing me that
she was sending me a 12-month
subscription to leading periodical.
Inclosed with her card was a card
from the store in her town stating
that the subscription had been en-
tered that day. After receiving this
magazine for several months, no
more copies came. I wrote the store
several times and my letters were
not answered. My question is, would
1t be bad manners for me to write
direct to the relative and tell her the
story? I don't want to cause her
to have to pay any more money and
I don't know her very we'll either,
which creates this indecision.
Answer: Usually every magazine
sent to subscriber is stamped with
the subscribers name, address and
the date. Jun 39' would mean
your subscription ended with June
number. But if the date is Jan 40"
then they are being missent. If you
have lost the wrapper or have given
away the magazine, the best thing to
do, I think, is to write to the circula-
tion manager Of the magazine. In
close self addressed envelope and
ask If your subscription has lapsed,
because you have not received the
magazine since such a number. I
suggest writing to the magazine be-
cause usually the store is merely an
agent who. after having turned in a
subscription, has no further record
of it.

Dorothy Dix Says
Remember to Grow Up With Child
And Don't Always Baby Him

If parents would only grow up with
their children, 1t would save so many
Of the conflicts that make most
homes in which there are adolescent
girls and boys dark and bloody bat
tleground 1t would prevent so many
of the quarrels and arrangements
between fathers and mothers and
their youngsters that drench the
family circle with tears and fill it
with resentments on both sides.
But apparently this desirable evo-
luton seldom takes place. Most par
ents never outgrow their infantilism
so far as their children are con-
cerned. Their mental picture of
their offspring always shows them
in the romper stage.
But, alas. no matter how much
parents desire to keep their children
in perpetual babyhood, it can't be
done. They will grow up. Because
parents won't recognize this, the
trouble begins that turns boys and
girls into furious rebels who regard
their fathers and mothers as grind
ing tyrants who are trying to de-
prive them of all of the joy of life,
and that makes fathers and mothers
shed bitter tears over the ingrati-
tude of the children for whom they
have sacrificed so much.
This tragedy, which breaks as
many hearts and wrecks as many
lives as anything else in the world,
is brought about by the parents in
ability to see that while Mary and
John are growing and developing
physically and every year have to
have bigger clothes and different
clothes, they refuse to see that they
are growing mentally and spiritually
and should have larger liberty and
a new pattern of home treatment.
They wouldn't try to squeeze Mary
and John who are 13 and big for
their ages, into the garments they
wore when they were 5. But they
try to make John and Mary, who are
bright, intelligent 15-year- -olders,
comply with the regulations that
were enforced upon them when they
were little toddlers.
Naturally the half grown children
object to being treated as if they
were babies. They feel that they
have a right to some personal lib
ertv a rirht tn indulce their oun
tastes, pick out their own clothes,

that in this review we have barely
scratched its surface, but you can,
perhaps, get some idea of its in
formative and interesting contents.
From Science to
Entertaining.
Vastly different is the other VOL
ume which is being reviewed today.
This slim little book, Party Menus
and Recipes by Margaret Hewett,
published by Henry Holt e. Co. of
New York, is as the author de-
Scribes it herself in her foreword,
"a simple, concise and unusual guide
to entertaining" 1t does not pre-
tend to be a regular cookbook; it
simply offers menus for cocktail par
ties, luncheons, dinners and buffet
Suppers, devoting one section to
each subject. The menus are fol-
lowed by recipes for most of the
dishes mentioned in each one, and
I found some of them delightfully."-
new and refreshing. There is, for
instance, a recipe for tomatoes
stuffed with sausage meat that I
can't wait to try out; another one
for crabmeat salad in cold boiled
artichokes with mayonnaise sounds
like a mighty fine solution to the
buffet supper or luncheon problem.
Although for the most part Miss
Hewitt includes too many creamy
sauces and dishes in her menus for
my taste, I am sure that many will
hnd them just what they like in the
way of party food" l can't help
but feel, however. that including in
one meal a cream soup, a casserole
OF tuna made with a cream sauce
and American cheese, Chinese peas,
and dessert of frozen cream cheese,
whipping cream and fruit sounds
bit on the heavy side. But every
man to his own taste!
The cocktail canapes and hors
d'ouvres suggestions include several
interesting ones, particularly one for
stuffed cucumbers. and cheese and
clam canapes. There are no re-
cipes for beverages in the book, but
there are number of good ones
for sauces and dressings that would
profit the most experienced cook to
study.
There are decorative drawings by
Hiram Hurd, and one of the best
features of the book is its binding
aluminium colored, and washable.

Now about the sides: Up go the
sides OF your hair, definitely. It
will be pulled up to disclose your
new earrings and to give a sleek,
we'll groomed look. For evening
the entire coiffure will follow this
trend, for if you have the time
to have your hair arranged espe-
cially for evening it's also likely
that you'll have the leisure to have
1t put back again. However, the
scalped look of the first "upswept"
has disappeared and the upward
motion of the hair now terminates
in soft. flattering swirls on top of
the head.
OF prime interest is the fact that
the front of the hair is nearly
always treated in some unusual
manner. Artful curls over the FORE
head, the effect of bangs or an old
fashioned pompadour are just a few
of the ways in which the forelock
is treated. And this, incidentally,
is not just whim. Forward in
terest in coiffures is a definite
necessity, what with hustle effects
and snoods covering most Of your
hair in back. In addition, the tur-
ban, which just won't be dis
.couraged, certainly requires some
sort of front interest over the FORE
head.
Shaping Very
Important.
Too much cannot be said on the
subject of proper shaping or taper
ing of the hair. Go to your most
trusted and expert stylist and let
him make your hair fit your head.
It's not necessary to be "scalped,"
but it is important that you get
rid of unsightly bulk. What's more,
if your hair is correctly shaped
your wave will stay in longer and
look better.
We were much amused and in
terested by a letter we recently
received from a beauty expert in
New York. Writing to us on this
same subject, she said, Gals go
crazy trying to get rid of bulges
on the figure, but their hair can
bulge all over their heads and they
think they're glamour girls!" Think
she's got something there ..
OF course, please don't expect your
hair to look like anything unless it
has been reconditioned, shaped and
has received a good permanent. One
of these bright days very soon we're
going to tell you a bit about new
treatments and permanents, but in
the meantime study your fashion
magazines and papers, consult with
the family, the best beau and your
friend the hairdresser, and decide
that you'll start looking like the
ideal woman of 1910.

Is going to be longer. Next season?
Who knows?
The funny part is-funny if you
have a warped sense of humor-
that they spent so much time and
effort educating the public to short
hair, that it looks as though they
might run into difficulties when it
comes to putting over this new idea
In Paris, for instance, the hair
dressers are telling their clients that
longer, more feminine styles are the
thing. On the other hand, the
clients, obstinate creatures, are hold
ing their ground and declaring that
they like short hair for its smart
ness, convenience and easy-to care
for features. Seems as though in
the war zones, all the fighting is not
done at the front.
But to bring the question home,
our local hair stylists are suggesting
rather modified coiffures. Firmly,
this department has always advo-
Gated choosing becoming style,
leaving the extreme, hard-to-Wear
types for the gals with perfect fea-
lures, lots of time to spend in beauty
shops and placid disposition that
knows not how to snarl at a perverse
lock of hair. We do believe, how
ever, that the coiffures we've seen
50 far will be both easy to keep and
convert for day or evening.
Hair Is Longer
At Neckline.
When we say that hair is longer
we don't mean that it has reverted
to the cocker spaniel type of shoul-
der-length bob. It's simply that
you'll notice a great many victorian
curls caught at the nape of the
neck with pins or bows; that you'll
see hair done in a hustle" effect
or swirled lower in back. You'll
even notice the slender, lengthwise
curls that your mother used to put
into your hair when you were only

-. OCIlWclLZcI, IcScdICu BcucIlClSL
of the medical college at Cornell
University, is published by Frederick
A. Stokes Co. of New York. The
book is replete with color plates,
drawings, diagrams and charts, to
aid the layman in understanding
the theories and facts expressed.
I for one, found it extremely in
teresting.
AS the author states in his pre-
face, you and Heredity" differs
from the average scientific book in
that it is written from the view
point of the layman-not from that
of the scientist, who is too prone
to cloak his subject in terms and
ideas far beyond the ordinary
readers ken. Much of the material
Is new to any book-there is for
instance, an original study, In
heritance of Musical Talent" to
which numerous outstanding con-
temporary artists have contributed
invaluable data; there are the first
forecast" tables whereby prospec-
tive parents can make predictions
about the appearance of a future
child, and table of "black genes"
which enable the reader to tell at a
glance which conditions may be
inherited, how they are transmitted,
and what chances there are of their
appearing in child.
One can readily see what a wide
ly interesting field is thus opened
to the average person. by whom
genetics are hazily confused with
eugenics. and the evolution of a
superman. Many "old wives tales"
are exploded as fallacies, and the
difference between inheriting a
disease itself, as against the pos
sibility of inheriting a weakness that
might become a tendency towards
the contraction of such q disease
Is very clearly cited.
The book is really a valuable text
and reference work, and will readily
find a place in the library Of any
home. Its earlier chapters are par
ticularly helpful to parents who
are struggling through the "bees
and flowers and pollen" stage Of
teaching with their youngsters; dia-
grams are clear and the context Is
concise and accurate. Especially Of
note is the chapter on the Dionnes,
and the facts relating to the physi-
illogical aspect of multiple births.
1t is big book, both literally and
figuratively, but we'll worth the

wear freak sweaters, use lipstick and
rouge, and that they should not be
made to eat spinach and go to bed
at 10 o'clock.
Terrible things happen because
parents won't grow up with their
children and realize that they are
no longer infants, but are turning
into men and women, entitled to a
certain amount of freedom and to
the expression of their own individ-
ualities. Because they cannot get
this consideration, so dear to the
raw vanity of the adolescent, from
their families is the reason that
nearly all boys and girls are so crazy
to leave home. DOROTHY DIX.
