Tie the belt in front, bring 1t from the sides to tie in back. or have @ front buckle. The sleeves may be either long and tailored, with nice "elbow room" and smooth fitting wrists, or short, perhaps softened with shir- ring and lace.

 OLDER CONSCIENCE
 IS MORE FACILE
 Older people are forever finding ways to get around their con- sciences. They often feel justified in turning wrong into @ right by twisting the facts just little. Thus, conscience is not too much hurt.
 Children, or let us say, some children, take their mistakes 50 seriously that they can't forget.
 Once boy joined Q club. The standard was high and he did his level best to be upright, helpful, honest and brave. Then he made a mistake. He forgot about meet- ing one day and went to @ movie, Afraid of the leaders reprimand, he made up a story. He was found out, reproved, and went out and jumped of a high bridge.
 Children should be troubled by conscience. It Is good and healthy for anyone to realize what he has done, and to worry and improve. But there are times when we rub 1t in too much. We are apt to re- mind child over and over of something long past for which he has paid his price.
 We make him feel guilty every day, for things over and done with. think 1t best often to en- courage children to live and do their best, rather than to brand them with the devils own mark in their own estimation when they are young.

NOW WE CAN FORGET
 OXALTC ACID

Occasionally some fustian prac- titioner still reports case of al- legged "gout", trouble which he brazenly ascribes to excessive for- nation or retention of uric acid or to deposition of the rnonosodium saltof uric acid in the body tissues. This despite the fact that since the introduction of precise chemical tests in place of the old theory and guesswork the notion that uric acid causes any disease has been dis carded. If any excess of uric acid is formed or retained in the body under any circumstances 1t is only of the manifestations or effects of the disease or the deranged meta bolism-if this is not the sound in- depreciation of the matter then medical science is sheer hooey. In the face of the present scientific knowledge of metabolisnn 1t is Q sad commentary on the progress of Medicine that any doctor has the cheek to imply that uric acid is the cause of pathological condition the true nature of which Is obscure to him. In numerous conditions which no one associates with gout as high or higher proportions of uric acid are found in blood and urine as are reported in cases of alleged gout. But then, most well informed practitioners forgot gout and the uric acid vagary long ago.
 Now we can forget also the ox- alic acid fantasy, the notion that certain foods, reputed to contain oxaltic acid, are harmful or dang erous to eat, because oxalic acid Is poisonous.
 Like many other doctors have dawdled with the oXalic acid theory in a number of cases where, as the course of the illness proved, I should have been trying to find out what really was the matter.
 Most of the popular concern about oxalic acid in foods is refer able, 1t seems to me, to the con. stant assertion in the vast quantity of health literature distributed in promoting the business of a large sanitarium: Rhubarb (pieplant) is poisonous because 1t contains so much oxalic acid. This appeals to thousands who are rather fond of rhubarb as sauce or in the form of pie, but, by gum, when you come to think of it there is a tart flavor in 1t, isn't there? Maybe you had better eschew the pleasure of eat- ing rhubarb if the stuff Is SO ter- ribly poisonous.

WOlNAN,S REALM
GlorUing Yourself
A Anela MaEe
NEA Service Stan Writer

Along about this time of year the exercise and reducing elnporiums become increasingly important to women who. are determined to achieve streamlined proportions be- fore 1t is time to buy spring clothes. Fortunately, there's the right course of exercise to suit every budget,
 In the de luxe salons, losing a few pounds here, an inch or two there Is Q pleasant task, indeed. A soft-voiced instructor not only will teach you how to do the exercises, but will do them with you. For some unknown reason, this seems to help. When you leave the satin exercise mat, you'll be put in the capable hands of Q maSseuse whose eff1cacious method of messages has a double purpose: to reduce your dimensions and to ward off any l muscle stiffness caused by the ex- erciseS.
 Another system of reducing makes use of specially constructed, ne- chanical gadgets which take the place of a masseuse. A well-equip- ped salon of this type contains a machine to reduce the hips, another the legs, still another the waistline, and so on.
 WITH OR WITHOUT
 SUPERVISORS
 Then, too, there are plenty of the more rugged type of exercise studios which believe in making the cus- toner do the work. Under the pro- feSsional eye of figure expert, she is put through various routines which become more complicated as the course progress.
 Least expensive of all are the gymnasiums where you may do ex- ercises or play games with or with out supervision. Ten young busi- ness women I know meet one night Q week in gymnasium of the type and play basketball for an hour. A group of women who do not go to business take, at a nominal cost, a swimming lesson one morning Q week. Tn any city, however small, there is some place where women, intent on keeping fit as well as trimly slender, may meet regularly to play games or do exercises. For the woman who finds 1t quite impossible to 90 to a gym or to join other women in a cooperative plan of reducing, exercises to be done at home, Q long, brisk walk every day and @ sensible diet surely are the answer. The daily walk is wonderful for the complexion as well as the figure, of course.
 To slenderize hips and thighs, rolling routines are recommended. For the waistline, bending and stretching exercises are best. To make the stomach flat, repeat this routine ten times @ day:
 Lie fiat on the floor with ankles together and hands clasped on chest. Keeping hands on chest and feet together, slowly lift legs up- ward until they are perpendicular with your body. Rest second, then lower legs slowly. The more slowly the legs are raised and lowered, the better.

Make Lovely Draperies To Dress Up Home

EtSots Afe Sm8ES ana ShmpAe
 A novel drapery style-and so simple to make when you know howl
 Both the draperies and little val ance are richly pleated and the effect is all the more striking be- cause valance and draperies are stitched together, making them seem one continuous piece.
 For material choose sateen or @ similar lustrous fabric. Ideal colors if your room needs bright- ening are gold and apricot. Both are lovely, luminous. Line your draper1es too for added richness.
 To make the box pleats, fold and stitch each one as our diagram shows, press and attach curtain ring at back.
 And how trim and professional draperies and curtains will look if you know the principles followed by decorators. Let Things hang loose. Run weighted tapes along bottom hems of draperies.
 If your glass curtain fabric isn't  pre-shrunk, make a 2-inch tuck beneath the heading. Take out be- fore laundering.
 For many other stunning dra- pery styles our 32-page booklet gives step-by -step instructions, diagrams. Tells how to make smart glass cur- tains, cornices, valances, overdraper- les, drapery-curtains. Suggests fab- rics, trimmings, colors.

It Is quite true that many foods contain oxalate of lime (llsually computed in terms of oxalic acid)s among them rhubarb, sorrel spin- ach, beet greens, prunes, currantss strawberries, raspberries, carrots beets, Brussels sprouts, caulihowers cherries, lemons, oranges, gooseber~ ries, plums, dried figs, chicory greens (escarole),' endive, lettuces potatoes, bread, beans, coffee, pep. per, cocoa, tea, etc. 'TomatoesT Sure, a little. But who cares? The oxalate in foods Is something to get steamed up about If you're training for . sojourn in the sani@ tarium.
 Oxalic acid is a normal consti~ tuent of blood and urine, and probe ably, like citric acid, 1t is formed in metabolism.
 Perhaps a few of the old timers in the medical profession will cons tinue for years bemusing unsophiss ticated customers with the axaluria vagary, but that sort of quackery has to end eventually.

 Have I actually liked other pe0- pie and been rebufRed when I showed 1t, or have I been trying all along to impress people se- cretIy felt were above me?
