THE Vacation Is No Rest If Family Keeps You on Go

her mother doing the work alone.
 She said her sisters children so completely nonopolized her parents home that she would get about as much rest signing on at a nursery school as going home for her vacation. Furthermore, the sister always promised the small boy for at least 8 month in advance whenever they wanted to go anywhere, Wait till Aunt Jane comes home and she'll take you" Aunt Jane usually did, but taking three children on long jaunts never proved to be . very restful interlude in her life.
 :, Barbara admitted that her trouble was that her mother al- ways insisted on her looking up friends she no longer cared much about and relatives whose com- pany she never enjoyed. So that for her 8 visit home was just a continual round of calling on peo- pie she didn't care anything about seeing-when she really would have loved some quiet days with no one but her own family around.
 A THOUGHT FOR
 FOLKS BACK HOME
 Sues complaint was that her fam fly bossed her so much she could never really be herself or do what she wanted to do. They wondered if she wasn't smoking too much every time she lighted a cigarette; they kept at her to eat more than she could possibly eat; they decided when she should go to bed.
 All these girls think a lot Cf their families enough so that they continue to spend their va cations at home even when they know they would get more rest and relaxation somewhere else. But if their parents could only see their side of 1t = how much more they would look forward to their yearly "two weeks off"

} McKENNEY oN BRIDGE

BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

My bridge-tour of United States took me to Colorado Springs, Colo where Oscar Pepper told me about a hand that came up at the Dem yer Bridge Club. He called it the Garden of the Gods hand" While he did have most of the aces and kings, you will notice he had to use his deuces and treys efficiently in order to make his contract.
 Pepper, sitting South, won the opening lead with the ace of dia- nonds. He cashed the ace of spades, dropping the queen. Next he led the ace of clubs, then the jack, winning with the king in dummy. A third club was led from dummy, which Pepper ruffed with the king to shut out West. He led the deuce of spades and finessed the seven in dummy when West played low. A fourth club was led for South to ruff with the jack.
 Now low heart to the king put dummy in to cash the last two trumps. on which South discarded diamonds. When the little foul of clubs was led, West found him. self unable to keep protection ir both red suits, and Pepper had hi. ambitious grand slam.

''Life Begins at Forty"
 Condensed in Booklet

JOb-LoSer Could Be Job Winner Turned down for the job? You wouldn't be if you knew how to use your assets at 4Ol
 Middle age is the richest, most productive time of life, Walter B. Pitkin proves in his inspiring best seller, Life Begins At Forty" Yet many middle-aged people think ar irving at 40 is Q defeat in itself- fatal attitude!
 Just look at Pitkin,s facts.
 Most successful people hit theiI stride only in middle age. Voca- tional psychologists show that the more intelligent women improve In skill at that time, Physicians just get started around 30. Professora arrive at 35, at the earliest. The average successful American 1nven- tor isn't a success until 47. It's foolish to believe young peo- pie have an advantage over you. True, they've more energy, but they tend to scatter it. You no longer have to experiment as they do. You KNOW what you want. You have only to know how best to use your energies to get it.
 Learn how to channelize your en- ergies and experience from our new i 32-page booklet-a condensation of walter B. Pitkin's famous "Life Be- gins At Forty" (by permission of Whittlesey House). Describes the assets of maturity, and how to pro- it by them for maximum happiness. Send 10c in coin for your copy of Life Begins At Forty" to Water bury Democrat, Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave, New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your name, address, and name of booklet.

LOOK OUT! DOCTOR
 BOOK AHEADl
 When I was an honest doctor I really was, for four or five years, like a darn fool--I kept in my of- flee a bootle of bichloride of mer- cury tablets. It was still customary to use bichloride of mercury solu- ton (corrosive Sublimate) for dis- injecting the hands. The tablets for the purpose were clearly marked POISON" and they were usually dyed blue SO that the blue color of the solution in water would be an additional safeguard against mis- takes.
 My cure came abruptly. One drowsy summer day, when had nothing to do but improve my mind browsing in the medical journals If could afford any at the time and my general manager vas out calling, the baby quietly crept into the office Gin a wing of the house in the country village), found the medicine cabinet open, managed to knock down the bright blue bichlor- idle of mercury bottle and break it or the floor, and began eating the pretty tablets. Providentially her mother arrived home at that mo- ment, found the child with lips, tongue and mouth blue-stained, and screamed for me. We administered what then believed and ever since have believed is the best Of all emetics for an emergency one grain of copper sulfate dissolved in about a tablespoonful of water. For this ennetic we are indebted to the father of pediatrics, Dr. Abraham Jacobi. It worked immediately, and the child suffered no subsequent i'll effect. Of course we may have dis covered the impending peril before the child could have swallowed any of the poison.
 Never again did I use bichloride of mercury in any way. But it was many years later that its use as an antiseptic solution for disinfect- ing the hands or the skin was abandoned by the medical profess sion in general.
 Whenever I receive an inquiry like the following I am somehow reminded of my child's narrow es- cape: Dear Dr. Brady:
 I would like to have a good all- round medical book that would be of service to the entire family as a general guide in emergencies.
 So-and-so lists the following:- Home Medical Adviser, by J. R. Scott, M. D.
 New American Domestic Medi- cal Library, compiled and edit ed by H. R. Graham, A. M. M. A.
 Modern Home Medical Adviser, edited by Morris Fishbein, M. D.
 Which of these would you rec- ommend, if any? If you know of anything better please supply ti- tie, name of author and publisher and price.
 Yours truly, ........ .......... My advice, brother, is that & lay- man should never take a doctor book" seriously. If you can main- tain that attitude it may not do any harm to delve into or Doc Brady'S No. IA Little Lesson 'Thc Medicine Cupboard" sometime when you can't conveniently get hold of anything interesting to read. Doc- tor books are written to sell, not to teach the layman how to get along without medical care.

Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Seryice Staff Writer

NEA service Stan Wr1ger If, within the past few months you have been told more than five times that you look tired when you really weren't tired at all, better spend little time wondering what has happened to your facial ex- precision.
 All too many people let their faces let down when there is really no good excuse for it. It's all very well to look tired when you are tired, But there's no sense in going a. round with a woe-be-gone express sion on your face when you aren't feeling woe-be-gone or downtrodden or anything else unpleasant.
 Of course, the minute you real ize that you have acquired the habit of facial let-down"-- the minute you are conscious of the fault-you have gone long way toward correcting it. The next step is to resolve to try to keep from looking weary when you are not weary at all.
 Meanwhile, try to get little more O4CNP 4A4G4AVs AO AAAe&J " uAAoV you are tired even when you don't realize it. Trying to keep going on your nerves instead of on sounder basis of adequate rest and a proper diet will show in your face, no mat ter how hard you try to conceal it. EYESTRAIN CAUSES
 THAT WILTED LOOK
 Also, stop reading in poor light, stop forgetting to wear sun glasses and otherwise abusing your eyes. If you are suffering from even mild eyestrain, it's next to impossible to avoid wilted look at the end of the day.
 And don't forget that the wo- man who knows she is clean and neat and attractively dressed usually has happier expression on her face than one who is self conscious and in an apologetic frame of mind be- cause her dress is the wrong length, her cotton gloves slightly soiled, her hair limp and unwaved. Good grooming routines always are & boost to the morale as well as the ap- pearance.

TWO GAY VERSIONS OF USEFUL APRON

The practical side" of your ward- robe can be attractice, too if you make up this engaging Claire Til- den apron style, Pattern APO. It's quick-as-a-flash to sew, and the same simple pattern makes two completely different versions. Both styles are skillfully treated in back, with the straps cut in one piece to keep them firmly in place. Apron A is the simpler, workaday type, with its V-neckline, its straps made in one piece with the full-length front panel and its square, scallop- topped pocoketS You might use ric-rac for an effective and easy trim. Then stitch up the other daintier style, Apron B, for tea-time or for much-appreciated gift This version has scallop- edged yoke, an oval neckline and rounded pockets. Wouldn't 1t look crisp in a light printed fabric with perhaps ruffle edging for feminine finish? Either style may have contrasting pockets, front panel and back bodice. Consider making both of these charming aprons for a good supplyl
 Pattern 42O is cut in sizes small (32-S4), medium (36-38) and large (40-42). Small size, apron B, re- quires 3-4 yards 35-inch fabric and 3 3-4 yards ruffling; apron A, l 3-8 yards 35-inch fabric, l 1-4 yards contract and 4 1-8 yards ric- rac.
 Send FIFTEEN CENTS (15c) in coins for this pattern. WRITE CLEARLY SIZE, NAME, ADDRESS AND STYLE NUMBER.

 e. What articles in homes are damaged by carpet beetles or 'buf- falo moths"
 A. These insects can cause dam age to house furnishings and cloth ing containing wool, hair, bristles, fur, feathers, and other animal sub stances. They can also subsist upon mealy or floury material. They do not normally eat wood and never weaken timbers. Because of their habit of entering wall spaces, where they may remain quietly for some time, out of reach of the ordinary house cleaning operations, they are even more difficult to control than clothes moths in many houses. A circular describing control methods, may be obtained by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelop to the Waterbury Democrat Service Bureau, 1913 Thirteenth St., Wash ington, D. c.
