personal in my criticism or advice.
 The problems I try to solve are often best approached by con- crete stories, in short, actual hap penings. Yet I take good care never to refer directly to anyone I know.
 From Real Life
 Some of my examples, to be sure, come from real life. Often they are exerpts from my own experience and mistakes. Again they are taken from my mail. Co., casionally, I reverse the story of my good friends and neighbors, who have done wise things, and in order to put over an idea, I make what is called in literary parlance an obstacle" of it, which shows up the result of mis- takes more forcibly than the facts themselves.
 Not that I fabricate, really. But when I see wise mother handling her children with intelligence, it recalls an incident in which u , same situation was mishandled.
 I have raised a family. I have made mistakes in such numbers that look back and shudder. I see, as usual, that hindsight is a thousands times better than fore- sight. And from my own mis- takes and experience, both at home and in the schoolroom, l have learnde many of the things to be avoided. Also many of the things to be encouraged.
 Could Have Done Better
 Often I think I could do a bet ter job with my grandchildren. Not that my own have disap- pointed me or given me any rea- son to regret my little .strictnesses, but merely that I have had oppor- tunity to note those things that worked and others that could have been improved upon.
 So, dear mothers, when I write to you, half the time I am say ing Mrs. Smith" or Mrs. Jones' when I mean Mrs. Barton. I am not infallible. However, adding to my personal experience the study of child nature in the abstract, feel that the combination is hon. est.

l NEA Service Staff Writer | The main reason health farms and beauty resorts are so popular with women who can afford them is that exercise, diets and such are really fun if others are carrying them on with you.
 You know very well that mask treatment is pretty much of lark if your house guest feels like giv- ing herself one at the same time. And weight-watchers will agree that it's much easier to stay on diet if some member of the family is counting her calories, too. Word comes from sorority house in an eastern college that exercise classes are held one night a week, with the sisters agreeing on which night and appointing a different one to be teacher.
 "Hippiness" a Thing of the Past
 She outlines the old exercises to be done fifty times each and teaches her class how to do one new routine. This has been going on for months and the letter ends on the optimistic note that "hippiness" is 8 thing of the past in that house.
 A stunning Long Island matron has an interesting story to tell. about the weight-reducing house party she gave last month for the week her husband and the husbands of her three best friends were gone on a golfing vacation. She invited the three friends to come to her house and go on a diet.
 During the first twenty-four hours of the for better figures house. party, only liquids were served at mealtime clear soups, fruit juices, black coffee or milk or clear tea. Between meals, pitchers of milk and orange juice were kept within easy reach of the guests.
 From the first day on until the end of the week, each woman had only fruit, one slice of unbuttered toast and a hot beverage for break fast, large green sadal and more fruit for lunch, and dinner of lean meat, one portion each of two veg etables, another salad and a fruit dessert. Between meals, while play ing hand after hand of contract those who got hungry nibbled raw carrots or celery or plain lettuce or endive.
 And each morning they did exer- cises together. Needless to say. by the end of the week, guests and hos tess were not only thinner but pretty clear-eyed and smooth-skinned.
 Similar System In Hollywood
 In Hollywood, many of the figure experts now take their pretty starlet pupils by two's, instructing them once a week and encouraging them to do their exercises together the other six days. And extras, who do not have access to the studio hair dressing shops, are getting more and more adept at re-arranging one another's ringlets.
 Ge tting back to New York, the prize story of all comes from two women who go through the whole works from hair brushing through exercises to pedicures one night a week while their husbands are bowl ing.
 They spent as much money as it costs their husbands to bowl for a year fixing up an adequate but not pretentious gymnasium in the

For Real Happiness Budget Your Spending

Find Out Where the Money Goes
 A real bargain in a home-just what they've dreamed of, but there's nothing saved to buy it. The Browns just go laundering along, never ask themselves what they get for their money-or whether they could get more.
 A simple test for spending is to see whether it provides for these ''musts":: WHAT YOU WANT MOST, such as a home of your own HEALTH, including medical care, proper food = SECURITY against unemployment.
 Even modest income yields these 'musts" when other items are properly budgeted. How much should clothes cost for a family of four with weekly income of $45? Allot about $5 week. Take pe- riodic inventory, seeing what can be revived with new accessories, re- pairs, clever alterations.
 The grocery bill stays down when you set aside definite sum for each days supplies, buy fruit and vegetables in season. Months when expenses are small Ter than usual, don't splurge with all that's left over. Save for months with heavy expenses. Budget to get the most for your money! Our 32-page booklet ex- plains in detail how to budget your income. Gives tips on shopping, how to save for big items. Has helpful ruled pages for years ac- counts.

THE IODIN RATION


 Iodine is No. key to vite, not be- cause it is more important or more essential than the other keys but merely because it seems to give most people an idea what vite feels like and so stimulates their interest in other means of regeneration.
 Children in their early teens are normally light-hearted, merry, play- ful. When they nope and day. dream, appear pensive and even gloomy, that is 8 sign, very often, that they are not getting enough iodine. Young men and young wo- men are afflicted with chronic fa- tigue which, however, earnestly they try, they are unable to overcome, the cause may be merely lack of an adequate daily intake of iodine, as in the case of the tired college girl'' whose college course was interrupted because of the extreme fatigue she suffered. Her physician found no health impairment sufficient to ac- count for it, except slight anemia, but treatment of the anameia, gave no results. Finally suitable daily ration of iodine was given and, as her mother reported, the result was unbelievable she is reSuning her college course this week and she Is very happy ... she was so tired she couldn't enjoy lie as other young people do, and now she is bubbling over most of the time."
 Mature adults who suffer from shortage of iodine may or may not present signs of goitre, but quite commonly they, too, manifest a pe- culiar lassitude or torpor, not lack of strength so much as lack of in- terest or lack of go, lack of former ambition, energy or pep. They get little or no refreshment from rest or from a vacation. Most of them gradually take on superfuous flabby flesh. Many become depressed in spirits if not actually melancholic. All show premature aging, graying and falling of the hair, poor circula- tion, cold hands and feet and ab- normal sensitiveness to cold under environmental conditions which are comfortable enough for normal folk. Complexion is on the sallow, waxy side and memory is not as good as it should be.
 These signs and symptoms indi- cate a low metaboliSm rate. The slowing of metabolism Crate of oxidationD is of course due to hypothyroidism, diminished thyroid gland function, which function is directly regulated by the daily iodine intake. Experiementally vita- min D and hypothetically vitamin A influence thyroid gland function to - D tending to prevent hypo- thyroidism or to speed up thyroid function, A tending to prevent hy- perthyroidism (exophthalmic goitre) or to slow down thyroid function. But on adequate daily ration of io- dine is essential to maintain nor. nal thyroid gland function and normal metabolism. More about the iodine ration later.
 Painful Heel Spurs
 Apropos of your article on treat. ment of painful heel spurs, I suffer- ed for two years, then noticed the heels of my shoes were higher than the soles. Had the rubber heels shaved off till they were sole level. Presto! The pains disappeared.

Paris Takes Off Man TailoredSuit
And Puts On Ultra Feminine
 Variety
BY ROSETTE HARGROvE

bY hUSEI1E HAMGhOVE
 NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Paris-While the suit with bell- hop jacket and umbrella skirt was the star of the spring collections, there are, besides this, countless styles which are just as becoming and which bear the authentic 1899 stamp.
 The term suit covers very wide field today. The inevitable classic suit, sober, man-tailored and im- peccable from every point of view, is the favorite of that very small number of women who can wear it with a flourish. Otherwise, it is apt to look just little dowdy and uninteresting.
 From there on, you have a va riety of ideas and combinations of color as well as fabric-which cover a wide field, from the suit for spectator sports to the informal af- ternoon outfit, of which ths skirt and jacket, plus the blouse, are its only relation to the suit proper. Not to speak of the suit made of the sheerest organdie, lace, or that fashioned of rich silk moire or ex- otic weaves, mixture of tailoring and dressmaking at their best.
 Strong color contrasts are the order of the day for all daylight hours. Even black and navy skirts are topped with jaunty jackets in fantasy fabrics varying from black and pink broken checks, bright cy- clamen and blue tartans or every kind of stripe.
 Rainbow plaid tweeds fashion hiplength jackets with skirts in a harmonizing monotone tweed, usu- ally light.
 The contrary mode is also smart a fantasy fabric for the skirt with plain material for the jacket.
 The most fashionable colors seem to be the various shades of beige, also greige, silver gray and silver blues. Black suits are worn with the brightest of blouses.
 An almost necessary adjunct to the spring suits is the fur scarf, in singles or twins, and in every type of fox-red, crossed, silver, blue and chinchilla.
 Molyneux's superb platinum foxes have met with much success. The Duchess of Windsor recently pur- chased one to wear with her spring suits and coat dresses. She wore it at reception at the Paris Town Hall with a Mainbocher coat dress of navy silk.
 This dress was lined with lilac taffeta and fastened down the cen- ter front of the bodice with clever shirring bringing the fullness well to the front only. The lilac taffeta slip underneath showed only when the Duchess moved and was matched by her lilac straw hat with conical crown and small brim, trimmed with a navy silk ribbon bow.
 Platinum foxes are produced in Norway, the result of years of in- tensive study and research. Only sixty were placed on the market this year, with sixteen going to Molyneux. There is no chance of these particular foxes ever becom- ing too popular, as they stem from a single reproducer, an albino fox The skins sell for something like | $500.
