 You are saying right this min- ute, am sure, that children are still as credulous as we were. And older people, too. There is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," for instance, that drew record crowds. That Is true, but perhaps you would not sit down and read that story unless 1t was acted Not thumb 1t over and over and take 1t to bed with you at night. Children still love to see fairytales acted.
 And most likely, mother, you are saying, "Why, our Andy and Grace eat up the Oz books" Of course they do, and all books of their kind, That Is because Dorothy Is Q real child to them, and they are clever narratives that make impossible fic- ton sound possible.

NITROGLYCERIN FOR CORONARY CONNEXIONS

or coronary disease hesitate to take nitroglycerin or other nitrite, even tho they know from experience that 1t brings relief, because they fear they may become addicted. There is no reason to fear that.
 Nitroglycerin or other nitrite, If taken in larger dose than IS neces- sary, has characteristic effects which any intelligent patient may learn to recognize and gauge the dose ac- cordlngly. These unpleasant effects are sensation of throbbing in the head, flush, headache, lasting only Q few minutes.
 When relief of pain or distress does not come within two or three nin- utes, c second dose should be taken, and the dose repeated again every five minutes as many t:Haes aS may be necessary unless the characteris- tic headache and throbblng preclude further use Of the nitroglycerin for the time being.
 Probably table triturates of nitro- glycerin (glyceryi trinitrate) con- taining 1-l60th of grain, dissolved under the tongue as described,' arc the most satisfactory form Of nitrite in coronary disease or angina. Being volatile, nitroglycerin in this form may lose strength on standing for a long time, but a small viol kept tight ly stoppered will generally retain fair strength when carried in pocket or bag for many weeks.
 Glass pearls of amyl nitrite arc sometimes used for the same purpose @ pearl being broken in the hand kerchief and the vapor inhaled--it is more rapid than nitroglycerin by mouth and the dose actually inhaled is uncertain, for much or little may escape into the surrounding air.

HOUSEHOLD PESTS TAKE
 FEW VACATIONS

Entomologists give astoundingly startling statistics regarding the enormous birthrate among common household pests. Household pests are naturally, more prevalent dur ing warm summer weather, but some, such as moths and reaches, are noticeably active during winter months as well. Neglect of proper extermination can have disastrous results-infested premises, destroyed property. A new, inexpensive liquid insecticide to be sprayed on infested areas, is said to destroy both the vermin and larvae quickly and thor oughly, to be non-poisonous irn- portant where there are children and household pets), to be without unpleasant odor and to be harmless to woodwork, clothing, furs, furni- ture, painted surfaces.

 Frances Langford, radio and mo- ton picture singer, thinks that the average woman reglects her throat
 "A delicate, smooth neck is one of any girls chief assets" says the attractive brunette. "But no throat line will remain truly lovely through the years unless 1t is given proper care.
 correct posture is all important, of course, Once you have learned to carry your head erect and thus eliminated the lump on the back or your neck, your chances Of getting n double chin or necklace wrinkles around your throat are greatly eliminated"
 To correct bad head carriage, try this exercise:
 stand erect, relax neck and let head fall backward as far as pos- sible. Now place hands behind ears and lift head upward. Make hands do all of the work and really lit from behind ears. Relax and repeat ten times. Notice how this elimin- ates fullness below the chin line and any small hump on the back Of the neck.
 To keep the muscles of the throat firm, Miss Langford recommends this routine;
 stand erect. Lower chin to chest, then turn head to the left, around and up until you are staring over left shoulder at the ceiling. Drop chin to chest again, then turn head to the right, around and up until you are looking ct ceiling over right shoulder. Make the motions myth" mic and do each step slowly. Now let head fall backward as far as possible, bring 1t upward, making muscles at sides of neck do the work, then lower 1t until chin rests on chest. Repeat ten times Q day. Incidentally, this one is e sure cure for that feeling so many wom. en have in their necks ct the end of the day.

MOTHER PROVES
 HERSELF HEROINE

Boston, May 15-CUP)-A moth- er's day heroine who was injured in a leap for life after saving her four children was under treatment at a hospital today.
 Awakened by cracking flames, Mrs. Margaret Bickerstaffe, 30, reused her husband Robert and their children, Robert Jr., 12 Margaret, 10, Carroll, 5, and David, months.
 Flames cut off the stairway to the first floor and the family crawled onto the roof of a sunporch. The elder Bickerstaffe leaped to the ground and caught the children as they were dropped by his wife. Then she, too, jumped, but the force of her fall threw both her and her hus- band to the ground, injuring her back.
 After seeing that his wife and children were cared for, Bickerstaffe re-entered the burning house and rescued Lassie, the family's pet shepherd dog.

ROBERT (. DENYING NEW MERIT MAN
Monthly Selection Goes to State Director of Adult
 Education

Election of State Council mem- bers of the Connecticut Merit Sys- tenn Association by the proportional representation method is being ar ranged to give all members of the organization fair opportunity to share in its government, the May issue of the Merit Man, monthly publication of the Association, an- nounceS.
 Although generally conceded to be the faireSt method of choosing representatives, the system is not widely understood so this practical experiment is expected to have an educational value.
 In communities where membership is considerable, nominations for sev- eral council places will be by peti- ton. Elsewhere towns are grouped into districts in which all members are considered nominees for one council seat so that only in the larg- CT places will the plan be really ef- fective, but the magazine gives complete description of how the votes are counted.
 Robert c. Deming, state director of adult education and secretary of the association for 12 years, is hon. ored by selection as merit man" ot the month.
 How Los Angeles has improved the morale and efficiency of its non- teaching school employees thruogh the merit system is described in the current issue and Earl c. Shedd in another article reviews the pro- visions for appeal by dismissed em- ployeS in the civil service laws of the various staets and federal govern ment, drawing the conclusion that the Connecticut law which differs from all the others should be amend ed in this respect to assure fairness to employees.
 The increasing favor of independ- ent commissions to supervise admin istration of the merit system laws ir many states is disclosed in an article which points out that most of the power in Connecticut is concentrated in the personnel director, the Per sonnel Advisory Committee having power only to hear and decide ap- peals from disciplinary measures Senate Bill 778 would establish a five-man lay commission. the type generally favored, to formulate the policies and deal with appeals.
