PATTERN 1l6
A SPIRITED YOUNG
JACKET-DRESS

First of all, you'll like the "fresh-
as-a-daisy" look Of this new jacket
dress, Pattern 116 by Claire Tilden.
Then, after closer inspection, you'll
admire its round-the-clock wear
ability. And finally, you'll be COM
pletely won over by Its quick-as-a-
flash cutting and stitching, with the
accompanying Sewing Guides mar
velous aid. The bias skirt Is in just
two pieces and has blithe young
flare. In contrast, the bodice Is
fitted and moldinfi, with smooth
darting above the waistline. That
to-the-waist buttoning Is conven-
lent and smart, especially with
bright buttons. A wide, squared
collar adds browning glory to this
style. Made in white, with white
cuffs to match, 1t will give a priin-
puritan miss effect. OF course the
smaller collar would be equally be-
coming. Or you might leave the
round neck untrinnmed, In a simple,
cleancut line. For a stunning street
ensemble, top of the frock with a
long-sleeved fitted jacket in match
ing or wildly contrasting color, per-
haps to pick up tone Of the print.
Pattern 116 Is cut In misses sizes
IL, IA, 16, IS and 20. Size IS, dress
requires 3 IA yards 80 inch fabric
and ga yard contrast.

Yourself

The day you decide to stop say
ing, "A child Of your age ought not
to use cosmetics" Is the day you
should order makeup for your teen.
age daughter to suit her own skin
and probably bland cream or two.
Unless your coloring and ners are
exactly the same, which isn't like
ly, it's a great mistake to start your
daughter off on what will become
lifelong habit with bits Of equip.
ment from your own dressing table.
WHAT EVERY
GIRL SHOULD KNOW
Your daughter should have the
finest cosmetics possible, Of course.
Her powder ought to match exactly
her natural skin tones. Rouge
should be the color her cheeks
become after violent exercise or
after the skin has been plnched
lightly Lipstick, of light texture,
should match the rouge.
Once she has makeup Of her own
every girl should be taught TO apply
1t correctly - which means artis-
tically as well as sparingly. Rouge
ought to be blended subtly where
color would be If her cheeks were
naturally pink. Lipstick ought to be
applied, allowed to set for Q few
moments and the excess wiped off
with cleansing tissue before the lips
are moistened.
DON'T SUBSTITUTE
CREAM OF SOAP
Your child will need founda-
ton film or lotion to make powder
stay in place for hours and to give
the skin a dull, mat finish. She'll
want a quick-melting cleansing
cream and probably light night
cream. You might consider getting
these from one Of the cosmetic COM
panies which specialize In prepara-
tons for young skins.
No matter how many creams and
lotions you allow her to have, how
ever, be sure to impress upon her
the Importance of cleansing her
skin with soap and water at least
once day. To be healthy and lovely
her skin, like your own, must be
kept scrupulously clean.

Silicosis and tuberculosis
What if anything is the similarity
between silicosis and tuberculosis?
Do both of these diseases come un-
der occupational disease laws?
"a. d.
Answer-Silicosis produces symp-
toms much like chronic tuberculosis
Of lungs, is more often the fore
runner of tuberculosis. Silicosis is
an occupational disease. Tubercu-
losis is not. Silicosis unquestionably
renders the individual more liable
to contract tuberculosis If exposed
to it.
Too Much Lime
Can one get too much lime in his
system, from food or medicine? II
so, does it cause hardening of the
arteries? (Mrs. w. j. W.

many fail to hang on to their youth
or become prematurely aged is that
they get insufficient lime (calcium)

Q. Are the number OF deaths

A. Deaths Of prematurely born
babies in 1884 numbered $500 and
In 1888 the number was 32.6S9. The
improvement is believed to be due
to better facilities for caring for
premature births.
A. AT what age should drawers
be substituted for diapers on a baby?
A. AS soon as he can stand. This
helps in his training as many babies
continue to wet their clothes only
as long as they wear diapers. A

the baby must not be permitted to
keep on wet clothing. His pants
should be changed as soon as he
vets them. He should be praised
when he keeps dry, but not scolded
when he has an accident. AS rule
a child will not learn to- control his
bladder at night until between the
second and third years after CONTROL
during the day is well established.
He should learn daytime control Of
the bladder by the time he is two

A DOCTOR OF THE FOURTH
DIMENSION

A DOCTOR OF THE FOURTH
DIMENSION
One of the most treasured books
in my library is little paper bound
volume Of Ian Maclaren's Beside
the Bonnie Briar Bush" which may
have cost forty cents when 1t was
published in 1895. Forty cents was
a sum Of money in the gay nineties
though I worked ten hard hours
in old man -'S garden for
less.
On the f1yleaf of the book is writ
ten may you pattern after the good
old Doctor Of Drumtochty (page
1879" then the date June %, 1897
and the signature of the lady who
gave me the book. The lady had
much of the reginal dignity that we
see and admire today in the Dowager
Queen of England and the First
Lady. Of America.
Well, I did try to pattern after
Doctor Mcclure as long as my IL.
lusions lasted. They lasted for four
years after I began practice.
Pasted inside the cover of the book
is letter received from the donor
81 years later, in the same even,
clear handwriting as that of the in
scription, the lines on both occasions
showing slight downhill tendency:
My dear DR.. Brady:
I have been reminiscing (she
spelled 1t correctly, I found when
I consulted the dictionary)-think-
Ing Of Chapel street school
and wishing I might see the little
Brady boy past my ninetieth
year am still enjoying the young
people. I had a fine letter last
Very sincerely yours,

At Chapel street school the lady
had conducted the Band of Hope
and taught us kids to sing we're
coming, we're coming, a brave little
band, on the safe side of temper
ance we'll now take our stand. We
don't use tobacco-do you know
what we think? That the boys who
use 1t are quite sure to drink.
The next time I visited Canadai-
qua I called on the lady. tried to
tell her I still believed 1t was fine
song and that it conveyed fine
health lesson. I tried to tell her
what an influence her teachings had
had in my life, but I'm not good at
that sort Of thing. Now the lady
has slipped away but her health
teaching goes on.
DR.. MacLure was the ideal of folk
proverbially parsimonious. The SEN
timental yarn does not reveal how
he managed to stave off the land
lord and the grocer. An American
DR.. Mcclure would be possible only
II some singular philanthropist
should take 1t into his head to sub

The youth contemplating a medi-
cal career should cherish the high

Of medicine. Yet for his own bene-
At and the interest of h6 patients,
friends, relatives and creditors it
would be well II some wise, kind adj
wiser would take the young doctor
aside when he is about to begin
practice, smash all his young illu-
sions and then turn him loose. DR..
Mcclure Is at best stopgag when
people can't get the doctor they
want.

u. ). Move for Peace
In Europe Demanded
By Senator Wheeler
Plan to Leuse Arms
To Britain Is Called
Neutrality Evasion
By the Associated Press.

BY Lhe associated Press.
Declaring that the United States
Government now Is in position to
force peace in Europe" Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana said
today that President Roosevelt
should make a determined effort
to bring the warning factions of
Europe together"
Senator Wheeler, returning here
for the next session of Congress, told
reporters that Mr.. Roosevelt's pro-
posal to lease ornaments to Great
Britain ''is an evasion of our Neu-
trality Act"
"Our people are not gullible
enough to believe that the munitions
will ever be returned or replaced"
he said. "They know that if Great
Britain would not pay us what she
owed us after the last war she not
only would not, but could not. re-
place the property we would lease
her now.
This administration ought to stop
seeking to evade the law-either the
letter or the spirit-relating to
neutrality. > ="
IF the officers of the Govern
ment, whether they be high or low,
set an example by evading the laws,
we should not complain if there is
a wholesale breakdown of respect
for law and order in the country"
Before the United States gives any
additional aid to Great Britain, Sen
ator Wheeler declared, "the Presi-
dent ought to make a determined
effort to bring the warning factions
of Europe together"
"He should insist that just peace
be worked out" the Senator con-
tinued. I'm my judgment, this
Government of ours could force
peace in Europe at this time.
There are two views about the
European war prevalent in Wash
ington. First is the group which
wants to see the war continued
until the German government is
exterminated And they want to
see that done even if it means total
war on our part. -" Second, there
are those of us who want to see
Great Britain win but we
believe that peace could be brought
about at this time if sincere
effort is made"
Evening star., 1940-12-25

gone, Bette comes through with
something I did not know before.
L wanted to adopt a baby" says
Bette. $50 I went to a local Or
phanage and was informed that I
couldn't have one. They do not
allow baby to be adopted by one
person. There must be two parents.
They feel that the baby is better
off in the orphanage with the pros
pect of a foster mother and father
than in the home Of a woman
without a husband or a man with
out a wife The only way for a
person like me or Joan Crawford
to adopt baby is through a doctor,
who would know of a mother who
wants good home for her child.
X x
"I agree with the orphanage au-
thorities," continues Miss Davis,
who lost her own father when she
was little girl. Another of the
local adoption-center rules is that
when a baby is adopted by couple,
a year must elapse before the adop-
ton is legal. And that during the
year, an officer from the institution
calls twice a month-without Civ
ing notice of the visit-at the home
of the would-be parents. 1 can see
now why Hedy Lamar was so
anxious about retaining her adopted
