Black Hearts is a lively game
Around the rooms are hidden paper
hearts. Most of them are red. q
few green. some yellow, one black
and one blue. Players search for

Scoring Method.
After the hunt is complete, the
method of scoring is explained. The
blue heart means a prize for the
finder. The person holding the
| black one is made the victim of a
| hoax. ANY one finding a yellow
heart must perform a stunt; for
each green heart, the finder must
give up two red ones. The one
who holds the most red hearts,
when the scores are totaled, wins
second prize.

sidetrack school affairs in favor of
international events. As an ex-
ample of the trend the discussions
have taken, the teacher sent The
Junior Star a half-dozen statements
by members of the club
The most interesting thing about
these statements is that they show a
surprising aWareneSS of the grave
international problems confronting
the United States. Written by Nina
Bailey, John Charles MeSch, Paul
Seltzer, Joan Tucker, John Value
and Janet Weiser, the statements
agree that America is in danger of
attack by nations which covet its
great wealth. More or less typical
of all the statements is this one, by
Nina:
Why should we worry about

Because I answer, America is
rich
In money?'
Well, that is not what I mean,

Daily Short Story
JANET WILL DO IT.

THE sun was shining and
the sky was blue as delft
china. and it was Janet Liv-
ingston S. twenty-siXth BIRTH
day. She could look out the
window at the lovely day. and
open her really very nice pres
ents. and at the same time feel
inside Of her that il was one
of the most depressing occas-
ions she'd ever had a part in.
1t wasn't Just that being 26
marked the, end of an era.
though that was part of it.
After you passed the 25 mark
you were automatically ruled
out of the young girl' class.
You advanced or receded, ac-
cording TO how you looked at
it, into the young married and
not-so-young-unmarried set.
She wouldn't mind that.
There was already a gap in
her age and that of the other
girls in her clubs. Most of
them were 10 and 20. Already
the girls with whom she had
gone to school were all settled
with homes and husbands and
babies. And they were trying
10 see that she should have
the same kind of good luck.
EXTRA MAN FOR JANET
Whenever they had dinners
they invited an extra man for
Janet. Sometimes these men
were attractive and then she
enjoyed herself. But lately
she hadn't been very for
tunate. She knew that when
a husband brought home a
business contact who was dull
and a trifle paunchy and said
TO his wife, Hes a bore.
Which one OF your friends
wouldn't mind taking him off
our hands for a while ?" the
wife answered airily, ooh,
Janet will do it,"
And Janet did do ii every
time. 1t was the same way
at home. She was quite in
dependent and had her own
income, but you never would
have known itfrom-the way
her three aunts ordered her
around. When one of them
felt chilly and needed a Jacket
from her closet upstairs. she
didn't ask a maid to get it.
She always said. Janet will
do IT," and so Janet did.
But on her twenty-sixth
birthday. she decided that the
time had come for a change.
d And the only way to accom-
plish it was to get away for
awhile. Maybe if she stayed
away for a few months they'd
stop taking her so much for
granted.
So on that birthday morn
ing she told her aunts she had
taken a small house in Con-
necticut. II was not the season
for il, and no one of import
ance would he anywhere near.
Her aunts thought she had
lost her mind. and they ad-
vanced so many good argu-
ments against her going, that
she was almost convinced.
And then her Aunt Alice
proved the deciding factor in
the affair.

Every doctor knows that eX-

elaborate methods of treatment
are unnecessary in the majority
of cases, and if he can talk the
patient into allowing simple
remedies 10 be applied, expense
can be avoided and just as good

AS an indication that this is
the view OF good doctors in
official positions, DIR. Morris
FiShbein. editor Of the journal
Of the American Medical Associ-

the type which the general
