The girl who doesn't know French how bewildered she is when she meets sophisticated people who travel, who dine at fine restaurants {!
 Accustomed to pronouncing Yer sailles as VER-SAILS she has to ask Whats that" when others speak correctly of VER-SIGH.
 Shown a picture of the city of NICE (pronounced NEECE) she doesn't guess it's the place she al- ways speaks of as if it were the English adjective "nice."
 But French pronunciation is really simple-when you learn the few necessary rules.
 This one gives you a tip on words like Versailles. To the letters 'ill' you nearly always give "" sound. The "s" final consonants are seldom pronounced.
 As for NICE, you pronounce the French ,'i" like "ee". Speak of the Bijou theater as the BEE-JU.
 You quickly pick up French vo- cabulary, too. Dining out you see POTAGE DU JOUR on the menu. It means soup of the day. CAFE NOIR-black coffee; FROMAGE- cheese.
 Our 32-page booklet gives com- plete guide to French pronuncia- tion, basic grammar. Gives express sions you use when shopping, din- ing, travelling, in conversation-a social asset.
 Send 10c in coin for your copy of TEACH YOURSELF TO SPEAK FRENCH to Waterbury Democrat, Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave-, New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your NAME, ADDRESS, and the NAME of booklet.

destroys woman's happiness--and takes away almost everything she considers precious-it does give her an economic and professional chance, never equalled in time of peace.
 The last time war set the Ger man women free, their participation in government, in the. professions, and in business was short-lived. NAZIS SENT THEM BACK HOME
 As soon as the Nazis came to power they showed women back and ignored all they had accomplished in the war years.
 This time-no matter how the war ends-let,s hope the women will have more backbone. That they will stand together and re- fuse to be put back into the home.
 They will again have a foot hold in the business and profess sional worlds.
 Let's hope they keep those places this time. Not just because of our belief that women have right to make the kind of lives

CURIOUS PERSISTENCE OF
 SUPERSTITION IN MEDICINE

~-@Ne~ = ANAA1Ar ; Despite the ponderous scientific pretension of modem medicine there; is still g good deal of funda- mental unconscious hocus-pocus in the practice of the best physicians. Unconscious, mean, in the sense that the practitioner accepts an idea or principle which has been handed down by revered predeces- sors who got it originally from folklore or maybe charlantanry. For example, the use of digitalis. In the same revealing report in which Drs. George A. Denis0n and J. D. Bowling infer from IT years experience in dealing with the rabies problem in the rabies capi- tai of North America"- Birming- ham, Alabama = that ''if rabies were as easily contracted by man as is commonly supposed, it would in Alabama become one of the lead- ing causes of death, Instead, it con- tinues to be a very rare disease, :" these authorities solemnly pass along a sizable hunk of the uncon- scious hocus-pocus that makes med- icine SO interesting, when they say: e- Complete reliance in the effec- tiveness of antirabies vaccine is never justified and cauterization of wounds made by the animal with strong nitric acid is necessary for adequate protection of the patient. There is no substitute for nitric acid; mercurochrome and agents which coagulate the tissues are worthless :"
 This assumption that only undi- luted or Tuning" nitric acid, which by the way coagulates the tissues. will destroy rabies virus in wound, is shared by many medical authors and public health adminis- trators. It rests wholly upon con- lecture.
 Understand, I don't know whether rabies ever occurs in man. Most doc- tors still believe 1t does. I gather. But no one would apply pure nitric acid to wound, inflicted by 8 rabid dog if I were the patient. TNe wound would be disinfected and treated as any other possibility in- fected wound-and I'd have an im- mediate injection of anti-tetanus serum and second injection of the same serum about five or six days later, by way of prevention of tetanus 0ockjaw). That would be all. I'd be pretty mad about it for an hour, perhaps, but after that I'd forgive the dog even if he were madder still.
 One of the conclusions reached by Dr. Denison, director of labora- tories and Dr. Bowling, health officer. of Jefferson County, which includes Birmingham, will annoy the dog-chasing politicians of mal-

 The woman who turns deal ear to her husbands sug- gestions about her looks or hel clothes may be on the wrong track And that is not just because it be- hooves woman to cater to the taste of the man in her life.
 It is also because a man if he is interested enough in how his wife looks to notice and comment-can be of great help to woman in find- ing out just what things are for her, and what things are not.
 When you ignored your husbands That lpstick is ghastly. It makes you look as though you were draw ing your last breath" chances are you should have, Maybe you're right" and thrown the offending lipstick into the waste basket.
 Perhaps just because men don t know what they are wearing" and what is smart this season" they are better able than women to judge whether a color or style becomes one particular woman.
 Then, too, remember that hus- bands are extremely critical. After all, 1t is their wives who either look beautiful and are 8 credit to them or who miss the mark and are not. CRITICISM BETTER
 THAN COMPLAINT
 So, if your husband notices your looks, you should feel pretty good about it. Even though his noticing occasionally takes the form of criti- cal comment.
 That critical comment, if you listen to it, may be far better for you than his most lavish compli- mehts.

obliterating prejudices. That should be part of all child training, to live and let live, whether or not a classmate is of a different race or nationality, by recent or distant inheritance. But it is not too late to tell all children that they must let these other children alone, and be kind.
 There was a Jewish family, who lived on Gentle street and whose children were often the targets for youthful arrows. Then came the Hitler program. The neighborhood adopted that family at once, forgot all former barriers, and accepted them warmly because of a common grudge.
 This shows, I am sure, the emo- tional instability of an excitable populace, as we undoubtedly are. We swing from extreme to extreme as easily as we shift from one foot to the other.
 PARENTAL DISTRUST
 AFFECTS CHILDREN
 In this turmoil of Europe, many countries are involved. There are children of dozen nationalities in our schools and living on our streets: Poles, Austrians, Czechs, Germans, Italians, English and French. A child with an unusual name is freqeuntly persecuted. There is no accounting for the way Ameri-' can children often treat the most recent arrivals, except to lay it to the influence of older people talk ing.
 All children are cruel, more or less, but they can be doubly cruel to the latest conner.
 And so, I beg, make the children behave and impress on them that na- tionality must not interfere with personal friendliness.
 It spreads on down the line, from parent to child, this quick affinity for distrust. Our own political diff ferences have shown that. Regard the small scion of a Republican voter at grips with the son of a Democrat.
