RARE "BIFiDA" PLAYS
PART IN FILM DRAMA

One of the most mysterious of
human ailments plays a part in
MGM's new DR.. Kildare picture.
From a scientific institute anthem
tic X-ray photos were obtained Of
spinal bifida. The bifida is tiny
tumor which, at any period Of life,
suddenly expands and presses the
nerves of the spinal column caus
ing a paralysis of some limb or
organ, depending on the tumor's
position. For years, physicians
were unable to fathOm certain
paralytic conditions which now
can be explained as the bifida can
be detected by Xray.
Because the disease is obscure,
It took years for science to locate
it.
The bifida operation is one Of
several dramatic medical details
in the new picture which Harold S..
Bucquet will direct with Lew Ayres,
Lionel Barrymore, LARAMIE Day,
Walter Kingsford, Alma Kruger

an entire body preference is apt to
be manifested. The head is turned
more often toward the preferred side
and the leg on that side is the most
active; in fact, all the musculature
on the used side is the quickest.
Nurses, teachers and parents un-
consciously aid children to be right
handed by encouraging them in such
ways as lifting the baby's right hand
to wave "good-by" and by placing
toys. pencils, crayons. spoons and
so on in the right hand. Try not to
do this with your baby; let him
show you which hand he wants to
use and allow him to continue
with it.
1t can prove harmful to child
if he is left-handed and is made to
use his right hand. Emotional and
nervous upsets can follow, such as
stammering and other language and
speech difficulties. batting the eyes
and trouble in learning to read. This
fact is now proved and recognized
by leading child psychologists and
pediatricians.
A famous and clever doctor at
Johns Hopkins Hospital in Balti-
more. who has spent his life in re-
search work with children suffer-
ing from nervous disorders. makes a
very serious issue of the disastrous
results that can follow if the natural
handedness of a child is disturbed.
Except for the fact that the world
has grown to accept the right hand
as the proper one to use, simply be-
cause most people are right-handed,
there is no reason why any one
should not use his left hand. The
only drawback left-handed people
suffer is a slight inconvenience. and
that very rarely. 1t is just as good
manners to eat with the left hand
as with the right, and it does not
matter which hand one writes or
works with, while in many sports it
is an advantage to be left-handed.
So watch your child. Try to dis
cover which hand he prefers and
encourage him to use it in all of his
activities.

Exercises

Bp Patricia Lindsay

A mistaken theory exists that
women and girls who are very thin,
in fact far underweight, should not
take exercise.
An underWeight should definitely
adopt a regime of corrective diet
and exercise in order TO bring her
health back to par, but if she is
lacking in normal energy she should
begin her exercise program with
movements which induce relaxation
and then adopt those which grad
ually improve the muscle tone of
the body.
Through the courtesy of Dorothy
Nye, specialist in corrective exercise,
We offer this program for under
weights.
Lie fiat on back, arms stretched
toward ceiling or raised overhead.
Stretch the whole body, pushing
heels downward and pulling head
and shoulders upward from center.
Then, keeping the body stretched,
twist and turn as follows: Raise
right hip while shoulders remain
fiat on floor. Then the left hip.
Next keep hips fiat on floor and
roll the right shoulder up and over,
and then likewise with the left
shoulder. Then relax all over.
Repeat each step of stretching
and relaxing five times. This alter
nate stretching and relaxing quick
ems the circulation of the blood all
through the body and so reduces
stiffness and nervous tension.
2-Now. lying on floor. lift left
arm and let it 1rop Imply back
ward with hand resting just above
the head After a moment flop arm
down beside the body-limp and re-
laxed Repeat with right arm. Re-
peat six or eight times with each
arm until muscles around shoulder
joints. back of neck and arms have
no tension.
For a program of exercise for
underWeights write Miss Lind
say, care of this paper, and in
close a self addressed, stamped
t3-cent) envelope. These exer-
cises are also very good for the
mature woman who has not eX-
ercised for a long time.

One little, two little, three little
fashions-all in one easy pattern
that even inexperienced-at-seWing
mothers can make with more fun
than effort. This design includes a
sleeveless pinafore, a brief trif1e of
oolero and a sunbonnet, all as cute
as a baby in bathtub! In the
f1aring pinafore alone, your tot can
be as carefree and hoydenish as she
could wish, playing on the sands or
the greensward of her own backyard.
When she adds the bolero, she's
demurely dressed for a visit to
grandma. The eye-protecting bon
net, of course, goes beautifully with
either or both. Thus, by repeating
this one pattern time and again,
you can outfit your small daughter
for spring and summer fun.
This little outfit looks adorable
in red-checked gingham, fiowered
percale, plain or striped seersucker
and buttercup yellow chambray,
outlined with bright ricrac braid to
match or contrast.

OfMOther
Is Clue
Fair Indication of
What Daughter
Will Be Like
Bp Dorothy Dir.

ID y DDI UfH1 DfI.
Dear Miss Dix: Is the old saying
true that if you look at the mother
you can see what the daughter will
be like in 10 or Is years? I have
been going steady with a girl for
two months and I think I am fall
ing in love with her. Her mother is
big, fat and lazy, and I wouldn't
like that kind of a wife.
UNDECIDED.
Answer-Well, of course, you can't
always Judge a girl by her mother,
but girls do take after mother often
enough TO make it eXpedient for
every young chap to take a long,
lingering, appraising look at mother
before he pops the question 10
daughter. Fat runs in some families,
bones in others, so if mother at mid
die age looks like a feather bed or
skeleton, it is more than likely that
daughter will put on flesh or get
skinny as she ages. and you can get
a preview of what she will be like
when she is 40 by taking look at
mamma. But girls are more likely
to run true to form mentally and
spiritually than they are physically,
and that is when the old adage,
Like mother like daughter" should
be lamp to guide the feet of the
young man in search of wife. For
a girl not only inherits from her
mother, but she has mothers train
ing and example. and mother forms
her character and sets her habits.
That is why the wise guy who wants
to know what he is going to get in
the surprise package he marries
gives mother a careful eye If
mother is lazy and shiftless, if her
house looks as if a cyclone had just
passed through it, if meals are
never on time and the food would
poison an ostrich. that is the kind
of housekeeper. 9 times out of 10,
that daughter will be. For daughter
has no standards of cleanliness and
order.
If mother is extravagant and
waSteful, it won't be a bad guess that
Will DS Ollc VI IilC WIVES
who keep their husbands in debt and
their noses to the grindstone. They
can't resist anything that has been
marked down from 81 to SO cents or
that is sold on time
And if mother regards her hus-
band as nothing but a meal ticket
and shows him no respect or con-
sideration, whoever marries daugh-
ter will be human doormat.
But if. on the other hand, mother
at so has kept her figure and is in
teresting and entertaining and up
to-date:if she is good housekeeper
and a thrifty manager, and if she
treats her husband as if he were a
little tin god, then it is safe betting
that daughter will make one of the
wives whose price is above rubies.
Of course. there are exceptions to
all rules. Some makeshift mothers
have star daughters and some star
mothers have makeshift daughters,
but, generally speaking, it is safe
rule to pick out your mother-in-law
first and then marry her daughter.

mother gently puts the little right

mother is very observant OF her little
