Beyond the routine feeding and
cleaning, a canary is little or no
trouble. However, occasionally nails
have to be cut, and-horror of hor-
rors-the bird may suddenly de-
velop lice. In either case it is best
to take the bird to pet store. where
it can be attended to by people who
really know all about birds.
You can. of course. cut the nails
yourself-but there is always the
danger of cutting into the quick,
and causing serious injury; you can
also take a crack at the de-lousing
job-but an amateur performance
is mighty apt to do more harm than
good.
Walking through a Thomas Ben
ton" landscape, the other day. in a
part of town where we had no busi-
ness to be, we came upon shabby
sign tackled to a shabbier house, ad-
vertising baby canaries, for sale, at
Is cents each for the males and 20
cents for the females. We should have
investigated, but didn't have the
time at the moment, so had to go
on our way. But that sign was en-
tirely cockeyed and misleading to
any one who really knew. Dealers
don't sell birds until they are ma
ture, and even then they can't al
ways be sure as to the sex. Song is
fairly reliable indication that the
singer is a gentleman-but some
times even that has been known to
fail. So the hapless soul who paid
25 cents for a male baby canary"
might be getting anything he
probably would get weak ana
miserable little specimen.
| Buy your canaries from dealers
with established regulations, and be
guided by their advice about their
selection. Let them give you direc-
tions for the feathered friends care
and follow them faithfully. You
will be rewarded by a healthy,
happy bird who makes your world
brighter and gayer with his lovely
song.

If your face is broad and eyes wide
apart, reverse the procedure, bring
the shadow nearer the nose
These little tricks will work wonders
for you.
When it comes to grooming your
brows, you'll probably mutter that
it's one task you really hate. How.
ever, it isn't necessary to make the
performance such an ordeal, pro-
vided you 60 about the routine In
the approved manner. Before
tweezing, apply to your brow cloth
dipped in hot water. Holding it
there for a minute or two will open
the pores and make the hairs come
out easier. Cream rubbed in around
the roots is also of assistance. Be-
fore tWeezing remove all cream
pencil, mascara, dust and any other
matter with bit of cotton dipped
in alcohol. Sterilize your tweezers
in alcohol and you're ready to be-
gin.
When you pull, grasp the hair
tightly at the root and pull quickly.
and we do mean quickly. A
Tightening tug in the direction in
which the hair grows will do the
job. Finish off by washing your
brows with alcoholic to prevent any
infection in the open pores.
Once your eyebrows are shaped
and we don't mean to the single
hair line that gives you a perpetu-
ally amazed expression-you may
want to touch them up artistically
with a pencil, accenting them in the
proper places. BY drawing single
slanting lines you can widen your
brows or make them look thicker
and darker, without the artificial ap-
pearance that a heavy hand with
the pencil gives you.
There are many other suggestions
by the same group of experts, but
space does not permit their inclu-
sion in this column. However, we
do believe that adherence to these
few rules will help your eyes look
their best always. Sometime in the
near future we hope to present
more facts that will help you in
your eye-beauty problems.

of its floor, and set it with it's
f1uttery inhabitant quickly over the
bath. And the show is on!
No matter how many newspapers
you have spread around the cage
the water always flies beyond them,
and the only way to approach the
bird when the time comes for the
bath to stop is by donning galoshes
and clutching the family umbrella
This is a picture of the usual case
AS a rule, canaries love their baths,
and will take the necessary three a
week with relish. Sometimes they'll
enjoy one every day-but that is
not always wise procedure in
winter time. 1t does happen occa-
sionally, however, that one owns a
bird with distinct antipathy for
ablutions. This makes life mighty
difficult. All the coaxing in the
world won't get him into the tub
and as often as not he develops an
irritating habit of ignoring the bath
during its stay in his cage-and then
flying furiously into action in his
drinking water as soon as the tub is
removed. Maybe he won't even do
that. If such is the case, he will
just have to be sprayed three times
a week-with no attention paid to
his squawks.
To get back to the enthusiastic
bather and his routine: While he
is attending to his person and
drenching the room give the bottom
OF his cage a good cleaning. Change
the paper and cover the new paper
with sandless bird gravel. Or you
can buy the ready-sanded paper
pads sold in all of the bird shops

be sure you have raised no splinters
to scratch his feet. Never wash
perches-it takes them too long to
dry, and standing on damp wood
will give any canary rheumatism.
Wash the food and water recep-
tacles carefully every day. Don't
assume the water container doesn't
need tit does. Run your finger
we'll into the corners to remove any
mold or slime. This goes for the
feed bin. too Refill the containers
with water that is not too cold and

Be sure the bird has a balanced
diet. Don't just buy a box of any

etlll eluQeS 100 many OF us.
Mascara, shadow, pencil and other
aids are among the trickiest to use,
provided you lack the proper knowl-
edge, and the misuse of these items
often leads to disastrous results In
your final appearance.
Actually, however, a few hints on
the subject are all that is needed,
and who is better prepared to give
them than group of demonstrators
for an eye makeup firm ? Dozens
of these experts have compiled their
findings, which, through practical
use, have proved their efficiency.
Since the most commonly used
eye aid is mascara, it's splendid
plan to know the tricks of its appli-
cation. First, be sure your brush is
clean. Don't let it stand from one
application to another without
washing. Use fine, narrow brush
and don't fill it too full. Brush the
mascara on lightly, starting from
the roots and sweeping out to the
tips. Remember that lashes punched
together by too much mascara are
unattractive, and that the main idea
Is to darken the tips and fill out the
two sides which are usually thinner
than the center. Following the ap-
plication, use clean brush to re-
move excess makeup and then
apply bit of lash cream. Last step
is the use of a gadget which has
been on the market for some time,
a curler which makes those 100 to
lis lashes on your top lid curl up
ward and look longer and more
attractive. Scissor like handles hold
the curler, which is held on the
lashes for 80 or 40 seconds. When
taken off, the lashes are curled the
way you want them. Easy to use,
this item has a rubber guard to
protect the lashes.
OF further interest are notes on
how to make up your lids. The ex-
pert who tested various applications
has found that shadow applied with
the finger goes on too heavily, and
that thin camels hair brush. SINH
lar to a fine paint brush, does the
trick effectively. This permits you
to apply the shadow right along the
line of the lashes, then blend it out
over the lid, fading it toward the
temple. Don't make the mistake OF
using shadow beneath the eyes, for
1t merely creates dissipated, not
q sophisticated, look. For dark circles
under the eyes, massage gently with
good eye cream and then apply just
q suspicion of rouge to the dark line
of demarcation between the circles
and your cheeks. Here again, don't
think that eye shadow will cover up
the lines or circles. 1t won't.
Two more excellent rules to re-
member are: If your eyes are set
close and your face is very narrow,
keep your eye shadow on the outer
half of the lid nearer the temples.

What is the chief fault of hus-
bands? What is the one particular
thing that husbands do, or leave un-
done, that takes the gilt edge of
of the gingerbread of matrimony
for their wives and turns it into
ashes?
You would be surprised to know,
for it isn't drinking. 1t isn't phi
laundering. 1t isn't being lazy and
no-account and making their wives
support them. The unforgivable sin
of husbands in the opinion of wives
is in their not making a fuss over
them.
In a way this column is a clear
ing house for domestic troubles. To
it every day come loads of tear
sodden letters from wives telling
their woes-how disilusioned and
disappointed they are in their mar
riages and how their husbands are
breaking their hearts by their cruel
ty. But where one wife charges
her husband with being a villain,
the sole grievance of scores of other
wives is that their husbands are not
kissing bugs. Indeed, most Of these
disgruntled ladies give their hus-
bands a fine bill of health. They say
that they are as domestic as the
house cat and never cast an eye
at another skirt that they are faith
full and kind and generous and good
providers. They say they have
pretty homes and nice cars and
charge accounts at the best shops
and their husbands are easy to get
along with, but-boo hoo, boo hoo

Is Essential
Child
Lays Foundation
For All Other
Teachings
BY ANGELO PATRI.

do not worry about the book
education of a child who can learn
to read. If he reads well-and by
reading I mean understanding what
he reads so he puts it in clear
English-he can educate himself
That means do not worry about
an I. O., of a hundred, or even of
one of 80, if that child can read
intelligently.
Many a child cannot learn to do
arithmetic in the grade that re-
quires it. When I meet such child
I center on teaching him to read
intelligently. I begin with the SIM
plest statements in arithmetic, have
the child read them, state what
they mean in clear language, write
that statement, and let it go at that
The arithmetic processes can wait
until the background is prepared for
them through intelligent reading.
This holds good for all the other
subjects. A child never grows
evenly, never develops his powers
equally and at the same time. One
power drives ahead, another lags.
Then the process is reversed and
the one slows down and the other
forges ahead. Always there is a
forward movement, but within it is
the back-and-forth movement as
well. That is why an I. @. changes.
It does change, no matter what any
body says to the contrary. l have
seen it again and again. Take the
I. G., as a tentative measure, a fact
Of today; use it for program pur-
poses, but don't make it a finality
There is no finality in life, much less
in childhood.
I believe that children in ele-
mentary grades ought to read aloud
daily to the class and teacher.
Silent reading may be all right for
those who know how to read, but
it is dangerous for those who have
not the ability perfected. There is
nothing easier than for a child to
read himself into mental sleep. The
words pass rhythmically across his
mind, but they do not touch his
mind unless that mind has been
trained to interpret them and apply
them.
Good reading-that is, intelligent
reading that registers in the mind
of the child, that gives him knowl-
edge which he can apply-is basic
to all book education, and most
other kinds. The teacher in the
primary grades has great respon-
sibility here. 1t is she who lays
the foundation for all other teach
ing. 1t is she who teaches a child
to read we'll and so opens the way
for all other learning to reach him.
Unfortunately there are some
children who cannot be taught to
read by ordinary methods. These
should be referred to the psyche
logical clinic for diagnosis and
treatment. Some of them can be
helped, some can be cured; only a
few must be counted as hopeless.
These children need help in the
early years Of their training. The
sixth and seventh years of their
lives are usually the ones in which
they learn to read. If those years
are allowed to pass without this ac-
complishment, the outlook is dark
for the reading power of that child.
Reading is basic to sound educa-
ton. Be anxious about it.
