First Use of Candy Machines

About 1925 foreign candy manu-
facturers began to use some ma
chinery in their factories. but the
actual introduction of machinery In
candy-making dates from 1910. The
first machine Of this character to
be brought to the United States was
imported by Sebastian Ckauveau Of
Philadelphia in 1845. In 1916 Oliver
r. Chase invented machine for
the making of lozenges.

Ice Cream Originated in Italy

Ice cream, generally thought to be
an American invention, originated
in Italy in 1900. 1t spread to France
and England. then crossed to the
American colonies. Even the wide
diversity of ices and ice creams is
neither modern nor American, for
when the process of freezing first
was discovered it was used for al
most every dessert and beverage.

Bridegroom Crushes Wine Glass

Bridegroom CruSheS wine GLASS
No one knows definitely why the
orthodox Jewish wedding ritual re-
quires the bridegroom to crush
wine glass under his heel. According
to the most popular Of its many
interpretations, however, says Col
lier's Weekly. it is done to keep
fresh the contempt which the Jews
hold for the Romans who, in 70 A.
D., captured Jerusalem, and, in
burning the city to the ground and
enslaving the few who escaped the
sword, ended the Jewish nation.

of the
Moment

This amateur photography craze
Is going too far. It's practically i'm
possible to snap picture any more
without getting advice from every
one within earshot of the shutter
click.
And when you try to photograph a
little family group on a Sunday
afternoon you simply haven't a
chance. That used to be a sport.
But now, what with every one In the
picture having his piece to speak
about the time or the exposure, it
is more likely to be a brawl.
There ought to be something SINH
lar to gaming preserves for amateur
photographers-with a separate pre-
serve for each photographer. 1t
might be worked out In families by
dividing up the subjects or the Sun
days.
But probably the only solution for
the amateur who really wants very
badly to take his own pictures is for
him to stick to landscapes which he
can photograph on lonely walks.

Dorothy Dix Says
Women Need to Think of Future,
Prepare for Age While Young

If you have to choose between
your husband and your children,
your best bet Is your husband. be-
cause, at the most, you will have
your children only IS or 20 years,
while you can have him for 40 or so
years or more. Furthermore. the
companionship between people of
the same age is always so much
more satisfactory and complete than
that between those who belong to
different generations. Young people
and old people are mutual bores to
each other. 1t is only to those who
have the same backgrounds as we
have that We can say, don't you
remember"
OF course, women who neglect
their husbands for their children
always think that they can go back
and pick them up again when they
need them, but they can't. No
other two people in the world are
such strangers or are so lonely as
the husbands and wives who have
grown apart.
And keep up your friendships.
Friends die or move away and we
have to be as continually acquiring
fresh ones as We do new clothes.
Make new acquaintances. Seek out
the brightest and most interesting
people you can find. Belong to
clubs. Don't be one of the women
who say that they have no interests
outside of their own homes unless
you want to be wrecked when your
house blows down about your ears,
as it is sure to do in time.
And finally, as Miss Hollis says,
learn to live by yourself, and like
it. Don't let your house and your
children absorb you so that you will
have no interests apart from them.
Cultivate independence. Have your
own hobbies. Do things by yourself.
So that when the time comes when
your own home Is broken up you can
keep your own little apartment.

He feeds the cat every morning
between $3.50 and 4. That's night
to most folks. But any one with the
ambition may rise up and journey
out to Berwyn ana see for them
selves!
The cat belongs to lady who was
called away from home suddenly.
She made quick contract with her
grocer and milkman. Kitty is
poured a pint Of milk each dawn
ing. The business consists of climb
ing the family woodpile, crawling
underneath to a sheltered spot,
washing the pan and pouring in the
days liquid rations. They are
promptly received.
Later In the day kitty has an
order of meat sent up. And the
neighbors, out Of curiosity, have
checked the chap whose job it is to
serve the milk. and he's never missed
morning. The system might be
classed between "a" and "B"
"A" is the practice of having kit
ty fed by flrst-class cat-loving
neighbor. It's especially applicable
If said neighbor also owns a feline.
For the courtesy may be returned
Matter Of fact, if the neighbor
doesn't own cat the chances aren't
so good. Her references are lack
ing for dependability as far as cat
care is concerned. For any one who
likes the feline is likely to own one
The beauty of the thing Is that
kitty remains in her own environ
ment. therefore sleeps, eats, drinks
and purrs as usual. And keeps the
mice down. But the cat must have
the comforts of home and be pro-
tected from the weather. When we
say being cared for by neighbor we
mean just that.
Lacking such confidence in the
local citizens association, try sys-
tenn "B," which consists Of seek
ing out feline boarding and room
ing house. And there are many such
disguised under names beginning or
ending with "cattery." OF course,
kitty won't be too happy there. Cats
love their homes. But at least she'll

BY HELEN VOGT.

Shopping around town the other
day. we were struck by the number
of women who had obviously just
returned from summer vacations
all nicely tanned, full of health
and with stringy, dried-out looking
hair. 1t really was a bit surprising
for with all that is written and said
on the subject, it does seem strange
that any woman would permit her
hair to become coarse and brittle.
However, sun and salt water do
unexpected things to the tresses, and
when vacation time comes even the
most fastidious of us are apt to be a
little lax about proper care and pre-
cautions. So, If you're going on a
holiday, do think about your hair,
and If you've just returned it's time
to start reconditioning
Chatting with several hair stylists,
we discovered few elementary
precautions and corrections. Women
must protect their hair on the

incidentally, has two distinct pur-
poses. Not only does it protect the
hair from dryness, but it will also
help to keep it we'll groomed and
in place. OF course, any product
that you use should be applied with
a miserly hand, if you want to avoid
that slick, patent leather" look.
There are several excellent products
of this type on the market, and all

to cover the cabbage. Also add a
small quantity Of pickle spices, such
as pepper. mace. allspice and celery

II I could say one word more
earnest than any other to women,
it would be this: When you are 20
begin to prepare tor so. Accumulate
interests and friends and habits that
will pay you dividends. Take out
old-age insurance against the time
when you have lost your husband
and your children will be married
and gone from you and you are left
alone.
Everywhere we see this middle
aged woman who is among the most
pitiful of all the unemployed, be-
cause she has finished her job and
does not know what to do with her
idle hands. She fills the doctors
Offices because she develops queer,
imaginary diseases when she has
nothing to do but to take her tenn
perature and search her system for
symptoms.
She cutters up hotels and board
ing houses and supports tourists
ships. She becomes one of the mi
gratory guests who spend their lives
visiting people who don't want them.
She weeps on your shoulder as she
tells you what good wife and de-
voted mother she was, and with what
ingratitude she has been repaid.
And, worst of all, she breaks up her
childrens' homes by living with them
even when she knows the friction
she causes in their families.
So to every young married woman
I would say: Look out! Watch your
step! Be careful! Or else you, too,
will become one of this melancholy
sisterhood. So begin today to pro-
tect yourself against it. Commence
by assuring yourself of congenial
companionship when your children
have left you. Start with your hus-
band. Grapple him to you with
hoops of steel. Don't mislay, or lose
him, or let some other woman steal
him away from you while you are
so busy with the baby you haven't
time to notice him.

Serving Guest
At Wedding
Reception
If Parents Seated.
Clergyman Joins
Them at Table
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: Where are the
clergyman and his wife seated at
the wedding reception? There is a
sit-doyn table Tor the wedding party,
but the other guests will be served
buffet style.
Answer: The clergyman and his
wife are seated only If the parents
have a table. If there is to be only
one sit-down table for the bridal
party, then the clergyman and his
wife as well as the parents are served
with the other guests. One point I
should like to make is that the host
ess who provides place for herself
at a sit-down-and-be comfortably
served table, while her guests are
obliged to forage for themselves and
eat as best they can, standing, is
every bit as bad-mannered as one
who has herself served first at her
own table.
Dear Mrs. Post: How does one
answer Good morning, how are
you?' when this is said by some
one In passing on the street, or in
the hall OF an office building?
Answer: Quickly morning"
would be the probable reply. Actu-
ally this would depend on how the
greeting was accented. If, for
example, How are you?" is empha-
sized and the one who greets you
slackens his pace long enough to
pay attention to your answer, then
you would say, Very we'll, thank
you" or II you have no antipathy
to the word you probably say "Fine!"
In any case. you must not stop and
explain how you really happen to
feel.

Is any good at all
Try to arrange for the cat to have
contact with dirt. A screened in
closure wherein she may wander,
sun herself and attend to the essen
tials. Or, if she's used to a sand
box, ask to have her equipped with
one. It's fine to use newspaper for
plumbing accommodations in cat
teries, but! If kitty picks up the
habit while vacationing and the
folks have her trained to the out
of-doors or a sand box the results
are liable to be shocking when the
family returns to the fold and kitty
to her own home!

Parents DUTY
Correct
Children
Guidance Should Be
Made Acceptable
To Youngsters
BY ANGELO PATRI.

when a child of IA or IS doesn't
know enough to turn on the light to
see to read a book, but continues to
strain her eyes in an attempt to
read in dim twilight, isn't it her
parents duty to make her stop read
ing, turn on the light and adjust it
properly? Aren't parents to speak
to half-grown children when they
are making mistakes that are likely
to injure their health, weaken their
work. head them for failure socially?
What's the idea of letting children
bring themselves, up, anyway?"
1t is a parents duty to prevent
any injury to his child, to teacn
him to observe the laws of health,
of courtesy, of work and of life gen.
orally. Children need the support
and help of their experienced par
ents. No child should be left to his
own mistaken notions. But, and this
Is of the gravest Importance in this
matter, that guidance must be made
acceptable to the preadolescent and
adolescent child, or it cannot serve
Forced obedience at this age is
worse than useless.
One speaks to a child about a
mistake in order to have him do the
right way, not just this time. but all
the time thereafter. If obedience is
of the forced order. at this stage.
the child will, grudgingly, do what
he is made to do, but he will not re-
solve to keep on doing 1t thereafter
His cooperation has not been Sc
cured because his mind was attacked
instead of being invited. That makes
all the difference in life.
Little children who have not
reached the stage of reflective
memory, whose experiences are so
limited as to make their judgments
negligible, must depend altogether
on the guidance, direction and au-
thority of their parents. But this
stage of growth must be so set that
their experiences lead to willing CO.
operation in the years to follow
when reflective intelligence is to the
fore. The experiences in obedience
that a child meets with in these
formative years are what lay the
foundation for rebellion or pleased
cooperation.
When there is no feeling of CO.
operation between parents and their
adolescent children, no friendliness
to smooth the irritations that are
certain to rise in the best reared
family, there is little to hope from
authority save passing acquiescence
to force. That serves the minute but
1t goes no further. Often it lessons
any chance of the parents influence
being successful in the future.
If such situation exists between
parents and children it would be the
better part of discretion to try to
build up the better, more useful re-
lationship of friendliness. Go about
1t sensibly. Ask the child's opinion
about the matter in question and
talk it over with him as you would
if he were near your own age. He
will be quick to appreciate this at
titude because it gives him the rec
ognition that his personality is
craving, and you may be able to set
a better relationship.
In any case, one has to remem-
Der that the time for exacting un-
questioning, prompt obedience is in
the first two years of the child's
life, and also, that such experiences
must teach the child that this au-
thority Is just, kind and wise.

cleaning. You'll find that prepara-
tions of this type are perfect for
smoothing and softening the wiry
ends Of your hair-and grand for
toning down fresh and unruly
permanent. These creamy lotions
penetrate easily and the most salts
factory method is to take a bit into
the palm of your hand and brush
it well into the hair, thus reaching
the inner tissues. These simple pre-
cautions. plus bit of common sense
about the length of time you stay in
the sun, should help you t. return
from your vacation looking trim
and tidy.
Remedies Are
Helpful.
However, If it is too late for these
few words to the wise, you'd better
set about remedying the damage
already done. Permitting your hair
to remain coarse and dry will not
only be harmful to the texture and
appearance. but will also have Ill
effects upon your next permanent.
So if the sun and sea have done
their worst, take yourself OF to
good beauty salon and counteract
the effects.
Hot oil treatments as We once
knew them seem to be more or less
passe. Instead, we now have what
is termed a rejuvenating process
In one shop, this is done by massag-
ing a cream made of herbs into the
hair-and notice we said hair, not
scalp. Then it is steamed, causing
the cream to penetrate to the inner
tissues and leave your hair soft and
smooth. While the process is actual
ly more difncult and complex than
that. the idea is to get the rich
cream we'll into the hair by means
of steaming. Women who still cling
to long bobs should have the ends
of their hair trimmed back a little,
too. This will eliminate the coarse
and brittle strands that can ruin
your entire appearance.
Short Hair
Predicted.
And while we're on the subject
of hair cutting, the consensus seems
to be that short hair will be more
popular than ever this fall. During
the summer months 1t has been
greatly favored for style and con-
venience and the approaching sea-
son shows no sign of a decrease
However, hairdressers explain, the
new cutting and shaping will permit
many types of coiffures. Women
who want fullness around the neck
will be able to achieve it with the
new type of cutting-which seems
likely to be about four inches all
over. In other words, If you desire
a long hair effect you can get 1t with
short hair
And, by the way, one stylist is en-
thusiastic over tinting hair to vari-
Gus shades. He has ideas for rose,
blue, platinum and gold, among 9TH
ers, and says that for evening the
effect Is lovely. 1t works best on
light haired people-and especially
on ladies with gray or blond locks.
Up to this point gayly tinted tresses
have been rather few and far be-
tween, but the gentleman says they
are very popular in England. So
who knows? The tint, which lasts
from one shampoo to another, is ap-
piled and the hair f1ngerwaved as
usual. So carefully is it done that
the roots are darker and the color
fades out toward the ends, giving a
thoroughly natural appearance. Not
a new idea, but slow to be adopted,
so perhaps next season will find us
matching our hair to our evening
clothes.
