There Are Little White Lies Men And Women Had Better TeI---or Else

tend ne IS One
 Men must admit that they hate the necktie their wives pick out for them NEVER BOW TO LITTLE GREEN GOD
 Women must never admit that they can't stand a woman who happens to be prettier than they. Men always chalk it up to jealousy)
 Men must never mention that dress or hat isn't becoming-even if it ought to be thrown in the ash can.
 Women must never even hint that they know more about any technical question than man.
 Men must uphold the illusion that every girl has dozens of men chasing her.
 Women must uphold the illusion that they are pursued-rather than the pursuers
 Men must never question a woman's taste in fur nishing house-even though she goes in for smart" effects that are as hard to live with an in-law.
 Women must never show up the brains of the man they happens to be talking to-even though no man would defer to his opinion.
 Yes, my darling daughter. Honesty is the best policy-except in your relationship to man.

ExPERIENCE WITH co ANOxIA

EXPERIENCE WITH co ANOXIA
 An optonetrist who is evidently student and an observer describes his experience as a victim of car- bon mo1loxide anoxia.
 The first occasion while driving his car, he suddenly had the sensa- tion of floating, as though he had no weight, not exactly an uncom- fortable feeliny yet strange enough to give him some concern. He pull ed over to the side of the road and stopped for a while. Aside from a feeling of lct-down there was no further effect, and he drove on again presently at slower speed. No after effects.
 On two ether occasions, on long trips in the same car, he noticed merely that he didn't feel well, nothing else until the following day when he suffered terrific occipital headache Gin base of brain") and was extremely irritable. Still arl- other time, while driving in the summer, he felt sudden mental con- fusion, as though he might be some one else who had forgotten his pro- per identity or was trying to or- tent things-and the same unac- customed headache next day.
 Finally there was more serious gassing, this time from heater of some sort Che doesn't indicate) in his office. He had been exposed to this for a few months, ventilation depending on the length of time the door to the office happened to be open every day. One day he thought he must be coming down with flu or cri. He ached all over, had some headache this time front al (forehead), no throbbing, no mental confusion, no nausea, but he just couldn't get warm, no mat ter how he tried. When he did some exercise he usually takes to warm up he felt .ecided pain in the mus cles used, along with extraordinary shortness of breath.
 The optometrist then became anxious about his condition and went to doctor, who, although a keen and alert young physician, did not recognize the trouble.
 At four o'clock in the afternoon a lady came in and remarked that she smelled gas. The optometrist could detect no odor, but he was shrewd enough to guess then what was wrong, He communicated with his doctor who agreed that the gas probably accounted for the condi- tion. By now the optometrist was suffering from cold, ached all over had occipital headache, short breath, but thought he could drive the four ,uiles home all right. At IT ospheric temperature was about 25 degrees F. He walked a few blocks to his car, got in, started home, feeling colder and colder, be- coming hysterical, having tetany (srnaspodic contraction) of muscles here and there, unable to control the muscles, unable to know with out looking what position his limbs were in, fearful of imminent col lapse.

QUESTIONS 6 ANSWERS
 Sodium PerbOrate

Among the many practical sug- gestions I have obtained from your column are sodium perborate for canker sores, calcium carbonate for sour stomach and gas, and belly breathing for helping get one-senf relaxed, feet warm, asleep.

 Machinery
 Have a machine that liquefies fruits and vegetables for the pur- pose of drinking them raw. What do you thi:- of this as a health idea? (B. L.)

WOMAN,S REALM
GlOriying Yourself

 The heavy, heady perfumes you've loved and worn all winter are as out of place in the springtime as a winter evening gown would be at a Spring party.
 This is the time to search for lighter, freSher fragrances-well in keeping with lighter, softer clothes, more casual cultures and less for mality in entertainment. SUIT YOUR SCENT
 TO YOUR TYPE
 If you like sweet, single-flower odor, there are honeysuckle perfume and toilet water to be considered. Toilet water, as you know, is simply diluted perfume. Cologne, of course. is cooling, quite different product often unscented.
 A mixed floral bouquet scent has an underlying odor of fresh, moist violets.
 A sophisticated yet light scent Is, says Madame Jeanne Lanvin, fam ous Paris couturier, ideal for mak- ing a young man who likes the long haired glamor girl type think you are that type.
 'If he's distinguished artist, a versatile business genius, an intel- lectual who expects you to follow his every thought-who knows all about the European situation, the third term issue and Picasso, you'll need perfume with imagination, '' continues Madame Lanvin. Choose one that appears to change slightly every hour or so, that makes a pre- text of being as versatile as he." USE PERFUME
 SPARINGLY
 Remember that perfume-any perfume-must be applied sparingly subtly. Just because your spring perfume seems so much lighter than winter scents, don't splash it or lavishly.
 After your bath and before dressing, use an atomizer to spray head, shoulders and arms. If you like, put tiny drop on each wrist or in the crook of each elbow. But this, too, should be done at least half an hour before HE calls fol YOU,

Q. Please give directions for f1n- ishing an old floor with oil and trlr- pentine.
 A. After a thorough sanding, either by hand or an electric sander, the floor should be cleaned and dried and then the finish should be applied. For the first coat, use a mixture of 1-3 boiled linseed oil and 2-3 turpentine. Paint it on small area at time, about a yard square. Wipe off the surplus and rub this spot with a flannel cloth wrapped around a brick or flat-iron for twenty minutes, or until no sign of oil remains on the surface. Con- tinue painting and wiping process over the entire floor. After several weeks, repeat the process, using 2-3 boiled linseed oil and 1-3 turpentine.
