= u girl can write for herself when
she goes job-hunting. But it is little
more tricky to do than we might sup
pose. Not long ago particularly
smart young woman of my acquaint-
ance applied for an important job.
From top to toe she was attractively
put together - with one single excep-
ton. She wore a new pair of white
suede gloves and the dressing came
off, streaking her navy suit with a
film of white powder.
THAT girl isn't very careful about
herself. She doesn't brush her clothes"
said the prospective employer after
she had gone out.
Men are like that - fussy to a
degree and given to judging by results
regardless of the cause. 1t would have
been better, in other words, if that
girl had worn a spotless pair of older
gloves on whose behavior she could
rely.

palate and jaw. The adenoids should
be removed as soon as they give any
obstruction, for the habit of mouth
breathing is hard to break once it is
established. The training of the child
also affects his face A spoiled. willful

brought-u child is often beautiful in
spite of irregular features. Smiles
always make pleasanter lines thap
frowns.
Thumb-sucking causes deformities
of the mouth. teeth and jaws, and the
child should never be allowed to start
this pernicious habit. If it has been
established it should be broken by
splnting the arms but leaving the
hands free. 1t takes six or eight weeks
from the last suck to make the child
forget the habit.
Protruding or irregular teeth are,
more often due to adenoids or thumb
sucking than to other reasons. They
can be Strengthened by the ortho-
dontist, but this is tedious and ex-
pensive. and it is better to prevent
the irregularity if possible. All chill
dren should be watched by dentist
to see that the teeth and jaws are in
good position.
Medicine has made great progress
in the last half-century in the preven-
ton and treatment of defects. The
public is fairly aware of this, and we-
see fewer neglected children than we
did a generation ago. There should
be none of them.

joking matters, so continued effort
should be made in childhood to pre-
vent real fiat feet.
The habitual posture of the growing
child must be watched. If he con-
stantly stands with the lazy habit Of
leaning backward at the waist. his
head and shoulders must come for
ward to maintain his balance. This
means round shoulders and perma-
nent curve of the upper spine. Chill
dren should be taught to lean slightly
forward at the waist so that the back.
shoulders and neck may be held erect.
Trunk muscle exercises. and training
in proper standing and sitting must
be intelligent and long-continued. 1t
is not enough to say to the child,
Hold your shoulders back" The
principles of good posture must be
carefully explained to him, for his CO.
operation is essential The result is
worth much effort, for straight back
is beautiful, a bent one a great de-
formity.
Doctors are sometimes asked if the
shape of a child's mouth or nose can
be altered or improved. Unless the
feature is very ugly or really abnormal
there is not much to be done about it.
Faces depend on inherited characteris-
tics to large extent. and the pretty
girl who marries homely man must
not be surprised if her daughter re-
sembles the father. But other factors
influence the facial expression. Mouth
breathing due to adenoids or nasal
obstruction gives stupid expression
and causes faulty growth of the nose.

DON'T DROP KILL IT

As AN inveterate smoker and fire

sometimes get fed up with the

staggering fire waste. And yet there
are moments when even | wonder II

What a stupid thing to do with a

Not long ago l interviewed one of
New York's leading physicians. who
is indisputably a man of foremost
intellect. Our talk was rudely inter-
rupted when this erudite gentleman
leaped from his chair with a yowl and
rammed one foot into the waste
basket. He had emptied his pipe in it
few moments before, and was sur
prised when it began to blaze.
On a recent motor trip through
Florida l counted seven grass fires
in one afternoon that had undoubtedly
been started by tourists tossing live
cigarettes or cigars out of their cars.

minutes later the odor of smoke at
tracted attention and disclosed, to the
tune of about $500 ultimate damages,
that the discarded cigarette had
alighted in a barrel of oily cotton
waste.
Dumb. to be sure, but perhaps
understandable in this particular
case But how can anyone account for
the fact that annually in New York
City there are from fifty to hundred
alarms for smelly fires caused by
city sophisticates who drop cigarette
buildings?

Fight For Bus
Continuance
Rockville and Upper Mont
gOmery County Citizens
Feel Facilities Inadequate

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission was informed Tuesday
that "The County Commissioners
are interested in maintaining for
the citizens of Rockville, and
other parts of the county
through" bus service between out
lying points of Montgomery
County and downtown Washing
ton," in letter written by Simp-
son & Simpson, attorneys, to the
Board. "A proposal of the Capt.
tai Transit Company to discon-
tinue bus service in this area was
held up at the last minute, ON
October 31st, 1889" said the COM
munication. Some Of the patrons
of the Capital Transit Company
have advised the County Com
missioners that in spite of this
order, that the buses from Rock
vile are being stopped at the
District Line, and that patrons
are being forced to use the street
car from that point to downtown
Washington. Since we feel that
adequate transportation facilities
are essential to the citizens of
Montgomery County, we are writ
ing to you to inquire whether or
not your Commission has granted
the Petition of the Capital Transit
Company to suspend the through
service heretofore enjoyed by our
citizens"

County Housing
Funds Ready
Alfred Kastner Selected
AS Architect On Rural
Project. Farm Section To
Benefit

Probably no Federal Project
since the advent of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration
has caused as much general dis
cussion as the present proposed
Montgomery County Rural Hous-
ing plans.
Recent announcement by admin
istrator Nathan Straus Of the u. s.
Housing Authority that 100000.
of the allotted $2,400, 900. has been
earmarked for immediate release,
practically assures Montgomery
County its share of the National
low rental public housing funds.
Members of the Montgomery
County Rural Housing Authority
include, E. Brooke Lee, Silver
Spring, chairman; DR.. J. w. Bird,
Sandy Spring, vice chairman; Mrs.
Raymond Clapper, Chevy Chase,
secretary treasurer; 10 V. Nor
gan, Edgemoor, and Thomas c.
Darby, Jamestown, commission
ers. Alfred Kastner, Washington,
is the architect.
Preliminary surveys show that
about 500 sub-standard homes were
inspected and such factors as sani-
tation, water, heat and light were
far below the average normal liv-
ing conditions, members Of the M.
c. H. A. claim.
According to well informed
sources no definite site has as yet
been selected for the first project.
In all probability, though, corr
struction will start on or about
January 1, 1910.
Assurance, that no dislocation Of
county business will follow this
project, has been given by mem
bers Of the authority.
1t is planned TO place 16 Of these
projects in the rural sections Of
the county, thus making available
to small wage earners rental con-
ditions commensurate with their
income, as we'll as better living
conditions.
Chairman Lee says that compar-
able projects of low rental public
housing in Sweden, England, and
other European countries have re-
duced many Of the costs Of local
government approximately 20 per
cent, such as welfare.
The houses, it is pointed out
will rent from So to SIP per month.
