False Alarm.

Young America-The shrieking sound
of the fire siren broke the tranquility
of the village, sending citizens scamper-
ing to find out where the fire was.
Just two days late for an April Fool
gag, it was a false alarm. Electricians
working on the pole in front of the fire
hall shorted the wire going to the siren,
turning in the alarm.

Swimming Pool Rules

The hotter the day, the more de-
lightful is the prospect of a swim.
While it is always temptation to
leap into the water as soon as pos
sible, the initial cooling dip should
be delayed at least an hour after
eating. And If the plunge is into a
pool there is still another reason for
pausing, A rousing soap and water
shower is an obligation for every one
who uses pool where other people
bathe.
In pools that are properly regu-
lated to protect the health of pa
irons good facilities including soap
and water showers should be pro-
vided and careful supervision given
to insure their use.
After swimming, whether in a
pool, lake, or in any body of water,
good shower or bath with soap is
keen satisfaction. Water alone is
not necessarily cleansing and a
swim is not a bath.
Most public beaches are equipped
with showers, and clean towels and
underthings fit readily into a bath
ing kit. If o'facilities for cleansing
are present. a bath and change to
clean clothing will be doubly well
come after the trip home.

Divorce Not
Hereditary
Affliction
Foolish to Assume
That Marriage Is
Doomed to Fail
BY DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Dorothy Dix: Recently met
fine man who asked me to marry
him. but I don't know whether to
do so or not because my parents
have been separated for years and
sister is getting a divorce. This man
and I are of the same faith and our
religion permits divorce. But love
him and wouldn't make him un-
happy for the world, and he might
not want to marry into a family
that doesn't seem able to pull of a
happy marriage. My friend does not
know about the matrimonial un-
happiness in my family. Shall tell
him? A READER
Answer: Divorce isn't hereditary
complaint, and there is no reason
why you should be afflicted with it
because your parents and your sister
are.
OF course, all of us are Influenced
by the example set us by our parents,
but just as often they are an awful
warning to us as they are a pattern
to initiate, and many of the most
bitter opponents of divorce are the
children who have been the victims
OF their fathers and mothers in
ability to get along together.
All children know that 1t was
their fathers infidelity or their
mothers jealousy, or the fathers
drinking or the mothers extrava-
gance and laziness. or the senseless
quarrellng over nothing that broke
up their homes. And so, nine times
out OF ten, they make a far greater
effort to be good husbands and wives
than do the men and women who
have not had to suffer for their par
ents' sins.
Dear Miss Dix: I am a bov 20.
deeply in love with a girl of 10 who
Is divorced and has a 9-month-old
baby. I have nice job and 90 to
business college at night, as my am
bltlon is to study law, and I am 60
ing to do it or die trying. What I
want to know is if marry this girl
won't 1t speed me up in my ambition,
as l will have so much more to
work for? 1t may take me longer
to achieve my goal. but I believe it
will be worth it. What do you think?
j. A.
Answer: If at 20 you marry a girl
with ready-made family you will
certainly have plenty to work for, so
much that I think you will have
small chance Of ever being able to
study law.

illustrating the Ten Commandments
of Beauty. and since you just can't
up and walk eff with the large and
instructive display. it might be a
good idea to clip the rules as re-
peated here. They are given by
a beauty expert whose name is
synonymous with loveliness, chic and
true feminine appeal.
So, here they are. We think
they're excellent-and woe to the
girl who breaks these carefully pre-
pared and selected rules. The
parenthetical remarks are this de-
partment's-although trying to i'm
prove on the original is a pretty
futile gesture.
l. Restore yourself to your normal
weight. If overweight, reduce. If
underweight, build yourself up to
normal for your height and age,
by eating the right quantity of food
with plenty of fruit and vegetable
juices. (Suff1cient rest is helpful in
reaching the latter goal, too)
2. Learn to walk easily and grace
fully; to sit down naturally: to
stand as if relaxed; to take postures
that have charm and ease of man.
ner. instead of awkward, grotesque
and jerky movements that lack
coordination. GA little practice in
the privacy of your boudoir will
helpD
3. Relax completely while resting
or sleeping, so that your mind as
well as your body is in repose.
Learning to relax is mental
achievment. 1t is the triumph of
mind over matter, and can be ac-
complished if you try. Not reading
the headlines is also conducive to
complete relaxatiOn)
4. Find out the most effective and
most becoming ways of fixing your
face and your hair, and do both
thoroughly each time you dress or
makeup. The rest of the time,
have the courage to let your face
and hair alone.
5. Spend 10 minutes daily on sim
pie skin care and you will have a
lovely, youthful skin. Remember
that one ounce of prevention is
worth 10 pounds of cure in beauty.
Don't 60 to bed at night with your
makeup on. The two essentials
in beauty for every woman and
every age are: cleansing and lu-
bricating.
6. Give your body straight spine,
a raised bust, fiat abdomen,
squared shoulders, a proud neck
line and a slender proportion-all
obtainable with exercises which
stretch and mold the figure into bet
ter contours. (You probably know
plenty of exercise routines. How
about doing them faithfully?)
7. Make fetish of femininity; of
cleanliness and daintiness, because
that is one of women's most i'm
portant functions in life since time
immemorial. Styles may come and
60, but women will always stand
for femininity and daintiness.
8. Cultivate soft, pleasing voice
and beautiful gestures. Many a
beautiful woman becomes ugly the
moment she speaks. If her voice
jars the ears, then she is a dis
appointment, for a lovely woman
must appeal to all the senses.

don't take any urgings to prolong
your visit too seriously. They may
be more polite than sincere, but
even If your hostess means it, it's
better to leave early and be In
vited back soon.
Have your bags packed In plenty
of time SO that there's no last
minute rush and turmoil. It's smart
to have bought your return ticket

Hollow is fancy enough to have a
maid who gave you considerable
personal service a small gift or a
tip should be given to her before

be about right.
Immediately upon your arrival
home write Aunt Emilia Or Betty
James mother a bread-and-butt
note. Scribbling a long and en-
thusiastic letter to Betty Jane
doesn't remove the necessity for
also writing to her mother. Make
the note brief and sincere rather

With this volume on the kitchen
book shelf, the greenest of novice
housekeepers should have no trouble

room and entertainment projects to
unqualified success. Clear, precise
illustrations help to clarity sugges-

from the duties, dress and requisites

ments. decorations and menus. There
are tables for the removal of stains:
directions for answering doors and
telephones: general notes on serving
and table-setting. The procedure to
be followed for every type of meal
and party refreshments is given in
detail-this even includes preparing
trays and packing lunches!
One of the most interesting chap
ters is devoted to minute directions
for preparing butter in decorative
ways: another offers instruction in
salad making, and still another
stresses carving. Scattered here and
there in the various sections are
some unusually good recipes for
canapes. etc, and the general menu
tables are both helpful and cpl
curean. Next to last in the book
comes a wonderful chapter, "A Few
Points on Table Etiquette" which
answers many of those questions
which arise as to the proper hand
ling of certain foods, and the closing
section contains wise observations
on table decorations with a table of
charming flower combinations.

Ban Gossip
Harmful to
Children
Tactfully Point Out
Mistake in Person
Or Keep Silent
Bv ANGELO PATRI.

Young people make mistakes with
out knowing it. They have urges
and promptings that they do not
understand. but which grown people.
having come that way understand
perfectly.
When this situation develops the
decent thing for the elderly people
to do is to watch or plan for an op-
portunlty and to say word in sea-
son. This requires tact and honest
frlendllness so that the youngsters
do not take it for crabby interfer-
ence. 1t is far more creditable to
the grownup to do it this way than
is the whispered gossip passed along
from Dan to Beersheba that blasts
the youngsters reputation.
The young people believe their ac-
tions are unnoticed They do not
know that they carry their secrets
like placards on their faces, in their
speech, in their very walk. They do
not know that they cannot 60
block out of their way to meet a
certain person without everybody
on four blocks knowing it and talk
ing about it.
Children do net know that there
are no secrets. They and their
parents are usually the last to know
that the whole neighborhood is afire
with gossip about their doings.
II some elderly person who sees
child heading into trouble would
make it his business to let the child
know in friendly fashion that his
thoughts and actions are public
property it would save a deal of
grief and hard feeling.
Much OF the indiscretion of youth
is innocent in intent and deed. The
threat that lies in the situation is
hidden from them. Instead of be-
ing so sure that they are bent on
evil, why not slip into the affair
with word of understanding and
caution and explanation? That
attitude Will not discredit a grown
up person as the whispered gossip
does.
The schoolgirl who goes down
Main street to linger in the smiles
OF the young man in the fruit shop
means no harm. She is following
the instincts of her nature-the feel
ings prompted by her stage of
growth. There isn't an unworthy
thought in her mind She is max
ing a mistake quite natural at her
age. If she seems to be making a
habit of the mistake, get personal
word with her and tactfully indicate
the better way.
Don't 60 to the girls mother first.
Say what you have to say to the
girl, and be more than gentle, wiser
than wise, when you try this. If
you do not succeed and the mistake
persists, then speak to the girls
mother. You will need all the un-
derstanding and grace you can COM
mand for this Undertaking, but if
1t becomes your duty don't shirk it.
Under no condition talk about
these young people to others. Help
them personally or be still about it.
If the youthful indiscretions of the
elders were to be set out on the bill
boards of the town the whole COM
munity would be calling for the hills
to cover them.

When summer approaches, it's far
better to leave the canine at home
under the bed during the heat of the

from too much contact with broiling
sidewalks and, particularly in the
case of puppies, stomachs are easily
upset by too much torrid weather.
OF course, dogs must be walked, but
an early morning and night trip,
with few emergency hops between,
should take care of the situation.
