RAISING A FAMILY
Bachelor Instinct" Sometimes
 Is Just Plain SelfiShneSS

years"
 "Oh, you don't? And have to put up with fastidious bachelor for all that time. Besides I'm nearly fifty, Harold, and maybe I'd like to see whether my grandchildren take after the Weemses or the Emories. I'll forget all my lullabies if I don't get chance to practice them again before fifteen years. Why don't you want to get married? You are earn- ing enough to keep a wife in the style I never was accustomed to. Not when was married. And am sure that Alice wouldn't care whether she lived in a haystack or a corn crib, just so she could be with you"
 Maybe she wouldn't mind it, but I would. I can't bear to be uncom- fortable. like things nice and I hate to worry about expenses"
 Should Pay Own Expenses
 "That reminds me. Hal. I think 1t high time for you to be having your laundry done out of the house. I get very lame when iron all day. And I think you might invest in a new rug for your own room instead of letting dad put up the money. He is hard pushed these days"
 "Oh, so that's it. Putting on the screws, old girl, hey, because threw a party the other night and sent all the girls corsages? I suppose I should pay you a little for my grub, though. We'll, would five a week help?"
 Harold's mother thought swiftly, but without divulging her comput- ing. He had cost about twenty-five thousand dollars during his life. Food, clothing, spending-money, va- cations, camps and college. They had given him car once and also sent him to Europe on school tour. But five dollars week would help. And it was time he learned respon- sibility; that what he earned should go for upkeep and not to splurge on.
 Do you mean you won't get mar ried. even to the best girl in the world, because you want all you earn for yourself?"
 Well, I'm not going to be made a sap of, like Bill Miller. Women take all you earn and only leave you with lunch money"
 Emily Miller works miracles with Bills small salary. I think. And their baby is worth all his sacrifice. You won't be taken for ride, you say? Well, I've learned today that I have been taken on quite an excur- sion. But it's fun at that"

Plants Bloom Joyously In Glass Gardens

Gloriously they bloom in your ter- rarium-fragrant snowy gardenias.
 Start with potted plants of flow ering size-and with a little care they'll bloom beautifully until Eas- ter.
 As gardenias love moisture put a pan filled with water in your ter rarium. Place wood slats across top of pan, as shown in diagram, and set potted plants on the slats. Hide the "scaffolding" with prepared fi- Der.
 Gardenias love space but won't mind if you squeeze in 8 potted sprig or two of another moisture loving plant, such as the trailing wax plant with variegated leaves.
 Now put your terrarium in . sunny spot, cover if the temper ature is below 65 degrees-and watch your gardenias thrive.
 Another lovely terrarium con- pines ferns, African violets, palms. Or you can create an exotic desert scene with cacti. Fun too to watch orange and grapefruit seeds sprout tiny trees in a dish garden.
 Complete instructions for de- lightful glass and dish gardens are given in our 32-page booklet. Splendid orchids, shy woodland plants, fascinating landscapes. Herb gardens. Bottle gardens.

DOCTORS MUST LIVE

DVNAOAN0 4NAOO4 AlA Az H. -
 Three fourths of the illness doc- tors attend is due to respiratory in- lection.
 But in these parlous times, parlous for family practitioners, what would the doctors do for living if there were not so many simple folk in the world who think change of weather or imaginary exposure adequate to accouts' for whatever betides. That popular belief not only keeps the doctors from turning to some kind of honest work but it also relieves them of the onus of a diagnosis in the early stage of the illness, for the average layman thinks a "heavy cold' is real illness or thinks the doctor understands what is going on when he calls it "cold".
 I wonder, though, whether com munity intelligence will ever rise high enough to bring about health ordinances which will make it at least demeanor for any employer, teacher, foreman, doctor, lawyer, dentist, clergyman, employe, clerk, student, passenger, customer, client or patron to go to factory, office, school, church place of business, theater, or to ride as passenger in a public vehicle or to attend any sort of public performance or meet ing while suffering with a respira-' tory infection under whatever inno- cent name, without wearing 8 suit able mask to protect those who may come within range.
 A year ago suggested as self treatment for the cri, flu, grip and now repeat:
 I. Go to bed at once, in an air. conditioned room if possible.
 2. Take no physic.
 3. Take two grains of quinine sul- phate, in pill, tablet or capsule, ev- cry four hours for not more than two or three days.
 4. Drink plenty of water, lemon ade, milk, soup, but do not try to limit your diet to liquids or light food particularly-if you're hungry eat your ordinary meals.
 5. Only for relief of distressing ache or pain should you take any kind of pain-killer.
 6. If a skilled nurse is available, a hot mustard foot bath admins tered to you in bed is always bene- ficial and when properly adminis- tered it generally gives considerable relief.
 Now, children, about the hot mus tard foot bath, if you harbor the quaint notion that 1t is dangerous to get into a sweat and then perhaps throw off the covers or have to get out of bed and become suddenly chilled, there is nothing compulsory about it. But can assure you that there is no possible danger or harm from any such sudden chilling in any case. The good effects of the bath may be lost if you do not re-

main covered up and in a sweat for an hour or 50, but if you do cool of earlier than that it is perfectly harmless to do so. The H. M. F. B. does the most good if you remain covered and sweating more or less for the full hour, then uncover and get dry and go to sleep.
 Have a Chew of Wheat
 Please give your opinion of the habit of eating small handful Of raw wheat every day, or rather chewing it, when the kind one can chew is available. I have been in- dulging in this habit for many years. I think my health is rather better than average, but some friends say it is harmful to take raw starch into the system. (F. R)

Gloritwng Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

The woman who is determined that she will be more attractive at the end of 1889 than she is right now when the New Year is so very new ought to resolve to study her type more carefully and learn ex- actly how to buy clothes which are truly flattering.
 If, somehow or other, your ward- robe always seems faintly disjointed and you constantly are tired of about half the items in it. perhaps you ought to make 8 shopping list every four months, actually buying clothes only four times year, ia- stead of whenever you happen to see something you think you like pretty well.
 This way, you won't have 8 red hat with which not 8 single dress you own can be worn. Or navy shoes when all of your frocks are black.
 Seldom is it advisable to buy any, thing hurriedly. And remember that the dress which you don't like UT dTc ulOlllCICAI dpOuV uAAtA e saleswoman tells you how fatter- ing it is and that you certainly should buy it, usually is dress that you won't like and wear for years.
 Make it a rule not to take any costume that you aren't simply crazy about. Being a polite, con- siderate customer, doesn't neces- sarily mean a wishy -washy, easily convinced one.
 Whether you like girdles or not, you might as well face the fact that clothes are more flattering to the properly corrected figure, whether that figure is large or small, than to the uncorseted one. And a proper girdle or garter belt keeps stocking seams straighter than round bands of elastic.
 You'll walk more gracefully in medium height heels which have fairly broad bases than in high, slender ones. Save the latter type for dress-up and dancing. Sim pie, pull-on gloves are your best bet-every time. And single piece of pretty good costume jewelry is a better buy than 8 complete set of an inferior grade.

 Fully worthy of the company which gave the world I'm a Fugi- tive From a Chain Gang" is the new Warner Bros. production Devils Island,", with Boris Karloff in the leading role, which alternate ly mortified, thrilled, chilled and moved intensely capacity audiences which saw. its opening performances at the Warner Bros. State theater yesterday.
 The story depicts Karloff as a man unjustly sentenced to Devils Island and shows him suffering the same cruelties and indigni- ties as the lowest types of crimi- nals although he is a man of cul- ture and refinement who before his conviction on tenuous charge of treason was highly respected surgeon.
 Most of the excitement and melodrama in the story are at tendant upon the efforts of a group of convicts headed by Kar- loff to escape from the penal colony. After an apparently suc- cessful escape, they are recap tured and when they are brought back to Devils Island, Karloff is sentenced to death by the guillo- tine. In tense climax, he is not only saved from this fate but wins his freedom.
 The unsympathetic role of the commandant of the island is played with extraordinary effec- tiveness by James Stephenson and another fine piece of acting is that of Nedda Harrigan as the commandant's wife.
 Others in the large cast who do especially fine jobs are Adia Kuz- netzoff, Rolla Gourvitch, Will Stanton. Robert Warwick, Pedro de Cordoba, Stuart Holmes. Leon-

POLl'S

Opening at the Loew Poli theater this afternoon, for a four day en- gagement, is Kentucky" 8 produc- tion filmed in technicolor. Ken lucky" Is a romance of the Blue Grass state, and it features in the leading roles Loretta Young, Rich- ard Greene and Walter Brennan Also included in the cast are Doug las Dumbrille, Karen Morley and Moroni Olsen.
 From all reports, Kentucky" con- tains the most spectacular climax of any picture in recent years as it presents, for the first time in his- tory of the motion picture, the Kentucky Derby filmed in Techni- color. Much of the picture was filmed on location in the heart of the Blue Grass country and the luxuriant beauty of the land where the thoroughbreds roam the mea- dows is reproduced on the screen in complete naturalness through the perfection of Technicolor.
 It is interesting to note that Richard Greene and Loretta Young share the romantic leads in Ken lucky" just as they did in Greene's first picture, Four Men And A Prayer" According to reports they are ideally suited to the roles and the story of their love, all fire and pride, makes great theme for the film.
 On the same program is de- lightful new comedy "The Girl Downstairs" co-starring Franciska

VETERAN BLAMES
VOLCANOES FOR
SPONGE BLIGHT
CLAIMS GASES ExUDED FROM
DEEP SEA VOLCANOES RE-
SPoNSIBLE: AFFECTED l.
600 KEY WESTERS

Chester Thompson, veteran
sponge fisherman and present
curio shop owner. is inclined to
believe that gases or acids thrown
off from Continental shelf semi
active volcanoes are responsible
for the present sponge blight
which may tie up scores of beats
and affect 1000 Key WeSters,
families who depend on the 200
fishermen.
Thompson, on hearing of the
blight, Immediately took a trip
to nearby spongebeds and
brought back string. Most of
them were dead on the bottom.
and some could be torn as easily
as old cloth, all their texture de-
stroyed. He has also written to
sponge fishermen friends in the
Bahamas for more information
concerning the blight there.
He cites two significant facts
for his belief, which is contrary
to that of marine biologists who
have tentatively blamed a fun
gus growth for the blight. One
is the fact that thousands of fish
have been found floating dead in
the area, which is an unusual
occurrence. If it were a blight.
how explain this condition. An
other is that the blight appeared
suddenly extended 600 miles
north of Key West and appeared
also in the Bahamas. A fungus
would appear only over a small
area and then spread. Thompson
points out.
The location of many peaks"
in the Gulf Stream are known to
fishermen, Thompson says, and
cited one ridge which the cable
boatmen find IL miles off Sand
Key where a hill rises TO within
$50 fathoms of the surface where
on either side it is 900 fathoms.
Sponge fishermen have been
uneasy since discovery of the
blight, with many talking Of
