BEAUTY
Gloriting Yourself

 Hands which are not smooth and soft and perfectly groomed are in- congruous with ladylike, ultra ;emi- nine clothes so widely touted this season. Not in years have hand lotions and creams, manicure kits, cuticle oils and nail brushes had such prominent place in the beauty routines of fastidious, truly beauty minded women.
 By all means use a nall brush with stiff, but flexible, bristles at least twice a day. It VIII Keep your nails immediately clean, Of course, and, in addition, will stim- ulate circulation in fingertips. This is important. Experts agree that your complexion isn't likely to be one bit better than your cir culation, and it's true, too, that poor circulation in the hands may make for brittle nails which split and peel all too easily.
 Be sure to massage oil or spe- cial cream into your c,lticles at least three nights a week. Always use hand lotion after your hands have been in water. If persistent use of lotion doesn't keep them absolutely smooth, try covering them with some of your regular night cream just before going to bed. Then wear clean, loose cotton gloves while you sleep.
 Smooth down rough edges with an emery board ana change your nail polish at least once between manicures. Nothing so detracts from a woman's appearance as clipped or peeling polish.
 Incidentally, it's an excellent idea to buff nails lightly before applying lacquer. Don't let your manicurist omit this step when she does your nails. However, if your nails have a tendency to split, there are a few things she CAN omit. Cutting the corners, for example, or vigorously scraping the base of nails with a little hoe-like scraper. Cuticle should De loosened with cuticle remover, then removed gently with an orange stick.

Two little puppies-eager to grow up to be smart, well-behaved dogs! And so they will when properly trained.
 It's not hard to make a puppy understand if you win his confi- dence during puppyhood. A good rule is not to punish him with the hand that feeds him. When neces- sary speak sharply to him or tap him lightly with folded newspa- per.
 Time to begin your puppy's "grown-up" schooling when he's about nine months old.
 Easy then to teach such clever tricks as "Shake Handsl" When he's in a sitting position press your hand against the right side of his head. His right paw will naturally rise, then you quickly grab t and say Shake Hands!" He'll soon get the idea.

that crowd the heart are almost be- yond analysis.
 The child said to be born coward" is merely one who gives himself over to these monsters of the imagination. He cannot help 1t. And knowing that he cannot help it, he will try to cover it up so as to fool everybody. He may do this, too, very successfully, but he will never fool himself.
 He will get out of trying new tasks, by excuses of some sort. Actually he knows that he is afraid of something, perhaps fail- ure, or of his secret premonition of danger.
 That's an old ball and I don't want it." he may tell his gang, knowing full well that he dare not climb over the wall. Behind that wall there may be dog, a man or merely a lot of strange figures in stone. In his mind he may have pictured the secret gar- den from early babyhood as filled with monsters.
 If one could take him into the garden, hand d-in-hand, through a rate opened cordially to the visi- tor. he might see roses and lily pools, patches of sunlight and friendly trees. But the gate will have to be in the wall he dreads, not on the other side of the house.
 He will learn to trust the un- known better from his own angle. He will learn to cross all the walls he dreads, or go through them, more confidently, by being shown that the truth is less hor- rible than he thinks. Even the dog he feared is, after all, good old fellow; the man pats him on the head; the statuary is nothing but some stone in the center of q fountain.
 But this should be remembered: the fixed fear of the unfixed thing has to be routed through the very agency that first created 1t. In this case, the wall.

DON'T BE SILLY ABOUT
 SANITATION

Some time ago, writes E. A. G. you replied to a query about dis injecting handkerchief towels and other articles of clothing in g house where cri was prevalent, to the effect that boiling the clothes was not necessary as they are sterilized in the process of ironing Please confirm or enlarge on this for the benefit of other readers.
 A good many laymen, and by no means the class of low intelligence only, still regard disease germs as lurking" about the premises with malicious intent. People who har- bor this quaint notion of disease germs make good customers for powerful germicides, disinfectants or antiseptics and are the most dif- ficult class to teach safe and sound sanitation or asepsis.
 The wickedest germs in the en- tire bacterial family are not a men, ace so long as they merly turk in hooks or crevices. They can't crawl out after you. They can't fly at you. Don't get hot and bothered about germs that, in your morbid imagination, breed" about the premises. Use any amount of the most powerful" germ killers available and you will be not a mite nor a micrococcus safer than you were before.
 The germ of lockjaw (tetanus) is a natural or normal inhabitant of the intestinal tract of domestic animals. Of 500 human fecal speci- mems examined in California one fourth were found to contain te- tanus spores. In the spore stage or state the tetanus germ may sur- vive under conditions which would certainly destroy most disease germs. Hence the danger of infec- tion of trifling wounds, punctures, scratches or fireworks or gun powder burns when the skin is even slightly soiled with street dust or grime, garden soil, etc. No known antiseptic or disinfectant or germicide can prevail against te- tanus or the risk of tetanus follow ing such wounds. Only an imme- diate injection of a dose of tetanus antitoxin can be relied upon to prevent this dread complication.
 Fomites (plural of fomes, pro- nounced fom-i-tez) are substances or things which may absorb or re- tain the virus or germs of disease and possibly be the means of spreading the disease. In the the- ory and practice of sanitation fifty years ago fomites were pretty im- portant. I remember some tall stories the professors were fond of repeating, stories that were al- most hallowed traditions, in which taking an old letter from a trunk in the attic or donning for a cos- tune party an article of clothing left by grandma caused an out- break of, CT, scarlet fever. Scarlet fever was the favorite disease in these yarns-you know, the virus or germ of scarlet fever was as yet unidentified-so how could any one give the yarn a horse haw- haw?
 Only place where modern doctors are particularly concerned about fomites today is in the operating room, but that's another story.
 The moral I hope to impress on the readers mind is that plain soap and water cleanliness is the important part of sanitation. Noth- ing else matters much.

CONFERENCE IS
 BEING WATCHED
Mussolini, King Victor Held Important Session
 Yesterday

Rome, Aug. 3-UP)-Diplomatic quarters showed unusual interest to- day in a conference between Pre- mier Mussolini and King Victor Emmanuel, believing that it might foreshadow some important Inter- national development.
 Mussolini and the king met yes- terday, and talked for an hour, at the new military airport at Came ri, in northwest Italy, where Italian troops are engaged in the most im- portant maneuvers in several years, repelling an imaginary invasion from France.
 After their talk, Mussolini flew back to his summer home at Ric- clone, whence he went to Camerl solely to talk to the king, appar- ently, and the king went on to ob- serve the climactic stage of the maneuvers.
 It seemed to be the general belief in diplomatic quarters that the con- ference was not connected with the maneuvers. Speculation centered rather on the possibility that Bal kan problems were discussed.
 Italy has paid more attention than other countries to recent in- cidents on the Hungarian-Ruman- ian frontier, and there is interest also in the croat dispute in Jugosla- via and in Greeces position in the general Balkan picture. Italian ships are to pay their customary summer cruise visit to Greek ports soon. An unconfirmed report cir culated that King Carol of Rumania might visit Italy next month.

New York, Aug. 3.-(UP)-Stocks forged forward fractions to 3 points today, with the utility average ris- ing into new high ground since 1897.
 Trading started at an active pace, blocks ranging to 5000 shares stud- ding the tape, but quieted around midway.
 Westinghouse Electric led the piv- otals with a point gain to 113. Chrysler ran up 1 5-8 points to 84 IA and General Motors sold at 49 IA, up 3-8. Bethlehem and U. s. Steel rose 3-4 point each and held well. Du Pont hit a new top at 163, up 2, and Allied Chemical, American Air Lines, American Smelling, Best, Bmt Preferred, Caterpillar Tractor, Eastern Airlines, General American Transport, and Safeway Stores were up point and more each with the latter at new high.
 Preferred utility shares were strong early but lost most of their gains on profit-taking. American Power & Light preferred issues, Public Service of New Jersey, En- gineers Public Service, and United Gas improvement all reached new 1889 peaks before easing slightly from their tops.
