Springtime is puppy time and perhaps you, too, are taking one of those winning little balls of fur into your home. Then know how to give your puppy the simple care he needs. Raise and train him to be fine pet.
 Very young dogs-like very young children-should be fed often, four times a day at first. Once a day is enough Gin warm Weather) after they're year old.
 And, remember, a pup needs meat from the time he is three weeks old. But avoid pork and be careful not to give him his food so hot that it will injure his mouth and teeth.
 A problem to housebreak your pup? Not if you follow this plan. Give him his meals at regular times and after each one rush him out doors for a little walk. If he errs in the house. take him to the spot and smack him lightly over the hind quarters with a folded newspaper.

tention. With the teeth it is even worse.
 The eye is a very delicate organ which may be injured by infection, accidents or misuse. Children may inherit certain eye defects or be born with congenital deformities. Some of these may be corrected by a skilled eye specialist. We have done a good deal at birth to protect the baby's eyes against infection. By the simple procedure of few drops of diluted silver nitrate solution, we have almost done away with this cause of blindness.
 Remember that the eyes of a child are developing like any other organs. Children in school under an artificial environment need special attention given to the eyes. Near sightedness, farsightedness, astigma- tiSm, muscle weakness and other conditions can and should be thoro- ughly investigated by competent, skilled eye specialist.
 A considerable number of children on entering school are partially deaf. This may not have been dis covered by the parents. The modern method of examining every school child with the most approved type of audimeter is bringing to ligh: many defects of hearing.

WORKERS, SLACKERS AND
 HEART DISEASE

A publication of the U. s. Dept. of Labor, Bureau Lab. Statistics, No. R-149 describes study of 500 cases of heart disease in workmen examined by Dr. Cadis Phipps for the Massachusetts Industrial Acci- dent Board. Dr. Phipps concluded from this study that the manual laborer who has heart disease but who, for economic reasons, must continue working, has a better life expectancy and also much later advent of heart incapacity than has the white collar" worker.

Household Hints
Real Test Of a Hostess Is The Table She Sets
BY MARIAN YOUNG NEA Service Staff CorreSpondent


 New York - The house can be a decorators dream. The service can be superb and the hostess the eS- sence of charm. But if the dinner table isn't attractive, and the food excellent, no guest is going to spend much time hoping that he'll be in- vited again-and soon.
 There are no two ways about it, the appearance of the table is al- important. Sparkling glassware, gleaming silver, beautiful china and snowy linen, all subtly high lighted by the glow of soft candle- light, get any dinner of to a good start.
 And, fortunately, nowadays, any hostess can have smart table access sories-at any price she can afford to pay.
 Decorative new glassware comes in wide range of prices. Made in America, 1t takes back seat, so far as good design goes, to no other country in the world.
 BEWARE OF A
 FOREST OF FLOWERS
 "The hostess who wishes to lend distinction to her table can do 1t easily by using American made glass in some of the new designs" says Robert F. Flynn, one of. New York's foremost stylists of smart decora- tions.
 "The newest crystal is stream lined, with modern patterns. Bowls for centerpieces and to hold indi- vidual bouquets on the table never have been more handsome"
 MT. Flynn highly recommends using flower-fllled glass compotes, shallow glass candy dishes and even cresecent-shaped salad bowls here and there on the table. He prefers them to one huge crystal centerpiece bowl, piled high with flowers over which guests cannot see and be seen.
 Ordinary garden flowers, set in these shallow containers, are attractive and unique" the table setting stylst explains. "Also, I like to see heads of flowers float ing in shallow bowls"
 SMARTLY DAINTY LINENS FOR SUMMER TABLES
 Linens for spring and summer tables are frothily dainty and ultra smart. Sheer linen luncheon sets, ill white and in pastel shades, with in- set organdy medalllons, are fresh and new.
 For informal dining on porch or terrace, or under the trees, peas- ant cloths and napkins in damboy- ant prints are popular.
 The hostess who is determined that the cloth is going to stay in place when the table is set out on the lawn, sews half of a snap fast ener on each edge near the corners, the other half to piece of tape or ribbon, and thus is able to anchor the cloth by means of the tapes.
 For more formal summer tables, table cloths of palest pink, blue or green slipper satin are stunning These can be made at home, of course, finished with hand-rolled hen1S or hemstitching.

IT'S A WOMAN'S
 WORLD
BY JUSTIN REESE

There's a woman at the Teachers College of Columbia University whose reputation as a child psy- chologist ranks with the foremost experts in the world on this sub- ject. I am referring to Dr. Theresa Dover Jones.
 Dr. Jones not long ago con Cluded a study she was making on the development of physical skills and play activities in young children.
 Small children like to push and pull toys on wheels, Dr. Jones found, to propel kiddie cars and tricycles, to pile blocks and dolls in doll carriages and wagons and trundle them around. If you have a girl, she will want doll carriage when she is around eigh teen to twenty -four months old. A little boy is ready for a kiddie car in twenty to twenty-four months.
 Another interesting thing that Dr. Jones found out was that small child played most freely and seemed most capable and self reliant when he had a playmate from one to three years older than himself. Maids and rela- lives, says Dr. Jones, tend to cramp the child's style as far as self reliance and freedom in play is concerned.
 The more freedom a child has in his play the less grown-ups worry about him, the better he gets on. Children who do not have enough toys or who are over protected by adults in the house. hold, warns Dr. Jones, will often assume dependent attitude and their ability to walk and play with toys on wheels may lie dor mant for many months and pos sibly for two years.
 Dr. Jones gives . hint on the selection of play materials for small children. The children that Dr. Jones studied, from the age of twenty one months tO four years, played with four types of toys - wagon, doll carriage, kid die car, and . dump truck. If parents can afford only one of these, says Dr. Jones, the dump truck h the best ali-fOund choice.

 The coiff1re which hugs the head Is the big news in haiTstyles for late spring and summer.
 Smart hairdressers are talking in terms of deep waves instead of curls and rtngletS, sleek coils and halo braids instead of fluffy ef- fleets. They shudder at the men, ton of a long bob unless the long ends are to be fastened together with a clip or flat ribbon bow on the back of the neck.
 REMINISCENT OF THE '2Vs
 They talk in terms of design They encourage extremely young women with thick hair to let it grow and then wear 1t in a nat ctignon or thick coils low on the back of the head. They now finger-wave the, hair completely as in the early 192O's, finishing only the ends with rtnsletS.
 Waves for 1040 are deep and wide, however. Not deep and nar- row. Don't let the talk about head-hugging cultures and the importance of deep waves give you any idea that the postwar washboard effects are being re- vived. There are no sharp ridges between this seasons waves.
 One important Fifth Avenue hairdresser warns every woman to see herself as 8 complete pie ture.
 EVENING CLOTHES CALL FOR EVENING CO1FFURES
 "It is positively ir1congruous to be dressed formally from the neck down and ever 50 casually from the neck up," he says. "In other words, evening clothes de- mand an evening hair-do. The chic woman doesn't dream of wearing an upswept codffure and diamond earrings on the tennis court. Neither should she even consider wearing a casual day coiffure with an evening gown"
 Among this experts latest iri- novationS are luminous hair dec- orations for evening coiffures. In- spired by the ''blackout," these are fastened to evening hair-do's to gleam and simmer softly when the lights are dimmed and the orchestra plays 8 moonlight waltz.
 The pompadour - plain and waved-is gaining in importance Not as head-hugging as the coif- lures shown here today, it still manages to dramatize the natural lines of the head. It's especially pleasant with BretonS and halo hats worn far back and with for- nal flower calots, also wornr far back.

 Miss Tuthill asked for the posi- ton of production man when she was a secretary to the man who had charge of production. In other words, she asked the boss for his job. At first she was rOundIy laughed at. The job is too tough for 8 woman. they told her. If you ever got in a jam you'd get hysterlcal and cream.
 But Miss Tuthill held her ground, and when her boss was assigned to the west coast, she was assigned to take over his job. And she's handled her unique po- sition of a lady production man with remarkable success. Actors, musicians, technicians, and sound- effect men all jump at the snap or her fingers, and strangely enough they seem to like 1t. After all, it's not every man who has a boss so charming and so easy-to- look-at as Miss Tuthill.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Lead Poisoning

 work in a heat treating room most of the time over a lead pot where lead is kept heated at 1,500 degrees F. I understand the fumes are injurious. Is there danger of getting lead poisoning? What are the symptoms? Cure? Anything ] could take or eat to prevent 1t?
 (R. J. B. Answer-Under such conditions chronic lead poisoning would be al- most inevitable-from inhalation of the volatilized lead. I know of no way to prevent 1t, except by suitable exhaust fan or blower installation to carry the fumes away. Why not report the conditions to your state labor board-if your state has such a department-and see If the con- ditions cannot be made safer for workers. Workers exposed to possi- ble lead poisoning should make 1t 8 practice to drink lots of milk, eat lots of cheese beans, raw or cooked cabbage, greens, peanuts, for rich calcium content. Calcium tends to protect bones and nerves against damages of lead.
 Cryptorchidism
 Have just finished 8 series of in- jection treatments (three times weekly for two months) for my son, aged twelve, for unilateral unde- scended testicle. The boy is athletic and well advanced in school. No ap- parent result from the treatment. Should we continue, or would it be better to have an operation?
 (P. T. R.) Answer-Wait 8 year, then have another course of injections, if necessary. Often spontaneous dee scent occurs at the age of thirteen or fourteen years.
