WASH IVY POISONING

The severity OF Ivy poisoning
can often be checked and some
times eliminated, according to the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture, by immediate soap and
water treatment after touching the
plant. Scrub the hands. and any
other skin areas that may have
been in contact with poison ivy.
with ordinary soap. Work up q
good lather on the affected areas.
then rinse of. and repeat the
lathering and rinsing at least four
times. It Is best to do this in rum
ming water. but If basins must be
used. the water should be changed
often. Particular care should be
given to the finger tips. especially
the nails where the poison may
linger and be carried to other
parts of the body.
Medical advice adds the caution,
Don't scratch" because scratch
ing may spread the infection. II
the poisoning Is severe, the suf-
ferer Is advised to see q doctor.

HAIR SEAL

There are two kinds OF seals
hair seals and fur seals. Hair seals
have no underfur. Only the very
young are used for fur purposes.
Among the hair seals are the
"Whitecoat," the 'Bluebacks. )"
Spotted: Hair Seal" and the
Ranger" The "Whitecoat" Is a
baby hair seal that has q white
woody hair and long, silky guard
hairs. AS 1t grows older 1t loses
this white wooliness and turns to
q gray short-haired animal. Blue
backs" are also baby hair seals liv-
ing In the same places as the
whitecoats. They are light blue

fellow. He had always hoped his
son would follow In his footsteps
He wanted someone he could train
in running, jumping. baseball,
swimming. an active youngster
who would be interested in mus

has q quiet boy-a sissy. TO put 1t
bluntly.
AS luck would have 1t, the girls
are large for their age In this fam
lily and In general take after the
father. Paul favors his petite moth
er; he has her delicate features,
the same small frame. and even
seems to have inherited some of
her gentleness. This is unfortunate
for Paul, and has increased his
problem where father Is concerned.
Had he BEEN of o more robust
build. his father would have had
no trouble seeing him as q poten-
tial athlete. Then instead Of de-
ploriug q taste for playing with
girls he might have taken steps to
change that.
It may be that Paul has q Sensi-

changed, 1t is possible to modify
them in q way that makes for bet

Paul cannot help It II he has in

is not to say that he necessarily Is
frail and timid. A more accurate
deduction land certainly q fairer

Mrs. Van r."
The crinkly lids are probably
due to the abnormal dryness OF
the skin elsewhere. Ask your doc
tor to check up on your weight
and make any suggested changes
in your diet. Continue using tho
cream II you find It satisfactory.
Leave q tiny bit Of It on the lids
during the day. This Is becoming

afternoon rest should improve the
condition.
QUESTION: as 1t polite to insist

ANSWER: It isn't necessary TO
offer to pay for q local telephone
call. However, one should always
ask permission Of his host or host
ess before making . call. Long
distance or toll calls should always
be paid for and generally there Will
be no argument when payment Is
