ot simplicity, heightened by foamy white jabots and bits of unaffected lingerie at neck and sleeves, a style nostalgia of the American girl a generation ago.
 Small waists and curvlng hips are taking on a stretched-out slimness, a more streamlined look. With this trend comes the slightly lower waistiine, the long basque bodice and a fitted hip yoke further to sug' gest the slender, heightened look. Then from this lower line in many cases comes front fullness in skirts introduced by shirring, shaped gores or impressed pleats. Skirts are still full. They flare becom- ingly, and In the collection are a few with the new strengthened look. You will see many more of these by fall.
 Shoulders are modified, always square, but not so broad as they have been. Necklines can be high and square, high and round, or cut in a deep V which much of the time is softened by lingerie trimming. Sleeves, says Nelly Don, have given up tricks and are seen in every length. Short sleeves tc bracelet" lengths are present fash ion favorltes.

 Symptoms similar to those of common cold may be brought on by allergic attacks due to sensitive ness of the child to certain foods. dusts, plants, animals or animal Sera.
 Children with enlarged. diseased tonsils and abundance of adenoids are likely to have frequent colds with sore threats and tOnsilitles which may interfere with their nu- triton and growth. Enlarged tonsils in themselves without other signs of disease are not an indication that they should be removed. The decision on this should be left to a competent ear, nose and throat spe- cialist.
 When a common cold hits the child he should be kept away from other individuals and preferably put to bed. His temperature should be taken and if above normal a doctor should see the child to make a thorough examination and prescribe treatment.
 Children should be protected in every possible way from common colds. Children who have been ex- posed to any of the communicable diseases shou1d be watched careful ly during the incubation period. Prevention of the communicable dis eases will reduce the number ot colds" Children should be kept away from other children and adults with coughs or discharging noses. If the mother or nurse &C., quires cold, she should protect her nose and mouth with gauge mask. Under no conditions should relatives and friends be allowed to kiss babies on the face. ....

SUMMER FASHION TRENDS
 DISCUSSED BY NELLY DON

are shown profusely, cotton steals the spotlight in this summers fash ion. It is cotton, crisp and fresh for morning, cotton in solid color. for afternoon, cotton in gay print for country wear. Swisses and voiles, batistes and dimities vie in loveliness with piques. seersuckers and chambrays.
 The sheerest rayons, this season, are non-crushable and wash beauti' fully. Jersey, twill and gabardine in play clothes mood are well rep resented in slacks, shirts. shorts and bushcoats designed correctly to fit the feminine figure.
 Floral designs run the gamut from neat, small prints, to medium. to large. Companion prints, pop ular fashion, are shown generously.
 Valenciennes lace-Val for short the kind you used to whip by the hour on an your underthings, Is the prima donna of trim this summer. It is seen marching in rows down bodices, edging bead ings and insertions, trimming col lars and cuffs. Then there is exqui- site broderie anglaise in smart col lars, embroidered pique. fagoting and entredeux to give their decora tive, handmade effect. &
 The only real style influence of the war Is reflected in the con tinued use of pockets. Pockets .are everywhere. And gold and metal buttons manifest their nautical in fluence. To show your colors you have the red, white and blue theme, and there is the growing import. ance of light khaki and beige shades.
 Summer prints are in soft, hay i blends and fresh, clear shades Nelly Don calls them Petal Tints and among these she features shy violet, prim rose. blue belle. mari gold.
 Fresh Water Colors are another highlight of the Nelly Don collec tion. These are solid pastels which slip from the very subtle. pretty shades of reflection blue and rose sprite to the more vital colors oi sunspray and ripple green. Grey tan and white are very smart fol play clothes, says Nelly Don, as are the more classic calors of navy green and brown.

ANox1A AND HEART DISEASE

ANOXIA AND HEART DISEASE
 According to pr. Charles H. Good rich cardiovascular disease (heart- artery disease, including apopleXy and chronic nephritis) is usually transmitted by criss-cross inheri- tance, that is to say sons inherit poor arterial material from mothers who had CVD (cardiovascular dis easel and daughters inherit poor arterial material from fathers who had arteriosclerosis, angina pee oris, thrombosis, chronic interstitial nephritis, stroke of paralysis or other form of CVD. Dr. Goodrich even implies that sons are unlikely to inherit the tendency to CVD from sclerotic fathers and daughters are unlikely to inherit the tendency from sclerotic mothers. How much weight this view or opinion of the heredity of heart-artery trait or quality deserves in the selection of wife or husband is beyond the ken of OF Doc Brady. Even Dr. Good rich questions the wisdom of inter- fering with natures plan of procrea- ton without careful consideration.
 But the outstanding cause of card- iovascular disease, Dr. Goodrich be- lieves and I have been more and more constrained to think in recent years, is anoxernia or anoXia (defic- iency of oxygen in the blood or in the cells and tissues of the body) One instance of anoXia cited by Dr. Goodrich is subnormal supply of oxygen due to chronic irritation of nasal mucous membranes from daily smoking. we often see a smoker, cigar or cigarette in mouth" " observes Dr. Goodrich, "busy with both hands, trying to overcome dyspnoea (difficult breathing) by dodging smoke and shifting cigar cite or cigar, and yet he can hold out for some minutes before he gives up and tries for compensatory in- take of oxygen
 He? My observation is that the feminine smoker can take it with less obvious distress than the mas cluine smoker shows, although, not withstanding prophecies I made when girls and women began to smoke in the excessive way they do there has been no marked increase in the prevalence of thromboangii- tis obliterans (Buerger'S disease) angina pectoris, coronary thrombo- sis or other diseases attributed tc to smoking, among women, so far as I know
 Analyses of the blood made by Drs H. B. Hanson, and A. B. Hastings (Jour. A. M. A. May 13 1930 showed that persons not exposed to auto mobile gases or other sources of car bon monoxide generally have 1.5% saturation of the blood with carbo1 monoxide; smokers show from 3% to 6% saturation of the blood witt carbon monoxide.

| more freedom.
 "Why, the Malay women of SaI- aWak. whose husbands have as many wives as they can afford, have more real security than American women.
 "In America it is not at all un- usual for a man to have one wife after another, leaving the woman he is tired of to support herself and perhaps a child or two. What you have here is progressive polgalny And from it women lose and their children lose.
 "In sarawak no matter how many wives a man has, he supports them all-and he supports all their children. So even when a wife is replaced in her husbands affection, she still has a home and she knows her children will be supported.
 Their equality has made Amer ican women hard, driving, unfem- mine, restless. They have the "rest- taurant lock- Always looking around impatiently, sizing up people in a manner that seems to say, "Who are you? How much money have you got? And will you be worth anything to one?'

presence of carbon monoXide in the blood Is in effect anoXia or anox- emia. Perhaps it would be more ac- curate to attribute the tendency of smokers to develop cardiovascular degeneration to their carbon mon- oxide anoxia than to the vague lr- ritation of mucous membranes men, toned by pr. Goodrich.
 The best treatment for carbon monozide asphyXia is artificial res piraticp by the prone pressure (Schafer) method with an inhalator to supply mixture of pure oxygen and per cent carbon dioXide. I be- lieve a few inha1ationS of this same mixture of oxygen and carbon dio- xide would benefit any smoker who smokes excessively. Or as an alter native the heavy smoker should practic Belly Breathing regularly. In fact every smoker should prac- tice Belly Breathing.

 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 ArthritiS
 Would the reduction diet given in your book. "Rules for Dieting" have any effect on chronic arthritis? Since reducing eighteen pounds by your method I have experienced grateful relief from longstanding arthritis in knees and ankles.

 Balm For Itching After Bath
 Sometimes I'm tempted to adopt your method-I understand you do not think bathing necessary for hygiene and health. Seriously, every time take bath I suffer for hours afterward from itching. My skin is rather dry and irritable.

It's A W0man'S World
By Justin Reese

Fancy one of the ten best-dres- sed women iii the world being able to write T Married Adventure. The authoress of this striking book is Osa Johnson, who for twenty-five years accompanied hel husband, Martin, on explorations covering over million miles ol jungle and uncharted lands.
 If you can picture Schiaparelli gown in darkest Africa, then you can also picture Osa Johnson sup ervising the expedition which made the Stanley and Livingston film. 1t is said that if you meet an EngliShman on safari, the chances are that you will find him supping in a dinner jacket.
 Well, Osa Johnson must have quite a streak of the British in her, for she ayWayS dresses for dinner, even if the nearest white person was over a thousand miles away. She would sooner be without her precious guns and cameras nan without her manicuing equip ment and cosmetics. The average explorer usually takes a gun-boy along with him. Osa probobly took along a hair-dresSer,
 That is a hint for you ladies for Osa Johnson today looks like one of this years crop of debu- tantes.
 Osa would sooner talk about her clOthing-apparently she Subsi- dizes the Par.sian dress industry than about her travels. How do you like my new bonnet Why, this evening gown is impossible. Eve already worn it once But, my dear, I have only forty pairs of shoes ....." To hear her talk she virtually has not a single thing to wear.

Of Interest To Women

Have you a household problem to solve? Write your question clearly, sign your name and ad, dress, enclose three-cent postage stamp and mail to The Woman's Editor, Washington Service Blu reau, The Democrat, 1913 18th Street, Washington, D. C., for a personal reply.
 o. Is a person who works for a member of his family excluded from coverage under the old-age and sur vivors insurance provisions of the Social Security Act?
 A. Yes; the Act specifically ex- cludes service performed for a son, daughter, or spouse, and service of a child up to the age of 21 for his parent.
 o. Why do some soaps float?
 A. The floating soaps are filled with minute air bubbles, which are so small as to be almost invisible and so numerous that they not only make the soap lighter than water, but also largely increase the sur- face of the soap exposed to water when used, and, therefore, render it more quickly soluble than the same soap would be without the bubbles.
 o. What race of people in the United States have the largest fam flies?
 A. The size of the average fam fly is largest among the native whites.
 O. What causes headaches?
 A. Headache is not a disease but a symptom, which should be diagnosed by a physician who, by thorough examination. may fin6 the cause. Some of the common causes of headache are nervousness eyestrain, constipation, disease ir the nose or sinuses communicating with it, infections and fever.
 0. Will gardenia plants bloom i1 the house?
 A. Unless they are given the mos exacting care, they are apt not tt bloom. Lack of sunlight and hu. midity, and injurious gas fumes art some of the reasons for non-bloom' ing. Proper ventilation and frequen waterings are essential. A circular on the care of gardenias may be ob tained from the Waterbury Demo crat,s Service Bureau, 1913 13tl street, Washington, D.

 Any day now warmer sunshine will begin to make you forget sprlIlg and think of summer. Play sults and other weekend togs will be more alluring to you than suits and hats. You'll start trying to decide whether to get a coat of suntan right away
 Immediately, of course, youl make up your mind to acquire your suntan gradually. You remember, with no little bitterness, how bad sunburn ruined a weekend for you last year. You resolve that 1t wont happen again.
 You decide to do little research on the various types of sunburn pre- ventives on the market. You look at creams, at lotions and at satur- ated pads which come in a jar, You finally buy one which you think and hope will be completely satis- factory. Then you use it exactly according to the directions on the label. & IANNINO COMES
 ONLY GRADUALLY \
 If the directions say the oil or lo- ton or cream must be applied sev- eral times during exposure, as well as before, then don't expect one ap- plication to prevent burning and en- courage tanning. Unless it's of a Water-resistent variety, apply an other coat after each dip in the surf.
 Don't spend more than fifteen minutes in the sun your first day on the beach, twenty the second, and so on. That is, unless you are prepared to be pink instead of tan and are willing to take a chance on being pretty uncomfortable for several days afterward.
 DON'T BECOME HAIR
 APPARENT" FROM THE SUN
 Don't expose your hair to the di- rect rays of the sun for more than fifteen minutes day any time dur ing the summer. A little sunshine will be fine for your hair, of course, but over er-exposure will cause Streaks and faded spots and, quite possibly, make your scalp dry and your hair l brittle.
 In other words, get plenty of sun- shine will be fine for your hair, of course, but exposure will cause streaks and faded spots and, quite possibly, make your scalp dry and your hair brittle.
 In other words, get plenty of sun shine, by all means. But get it gradually and sensibly. If, in spite of all warning, you do get badly sunburned, by all means see doc tor at once.

She once was very much per turbed to find a young lady fol- lowing her for days. It turned out that the shadOwer was merely a fashion scout, trying to make sketches of her wardrobe.
 However, do not let this chatter about her dress fool you. Osa has experienced more bonafide adven- lures, has seen more wild things, has endured more hardships than almost any other explorer
 Her latest book, T Married Ad- venture" is now being made into a flicker and will soon be shown at local theaters. If you want to know what the Well-dressed Wo- man has done, you must see this. Better still, get copy of the book and unravel for yourself the par adox of the famous explorer who has become the answer to the fashion worlds dreams.
