unpleasant it is not in itself serious.
The complications which some
times develop during the process Of
q cold are serious and often become
chronic.
A great variety Of germs abide in
every human mouth, nose and
throat. They are with us constant
y but generally live contentedly
without ideas Of conquest. Once
the common cold paves the way for
them they become Historically ac-
tive and rush to be in on the kill.
As many as so different kinds of
germs have been found at one time
in q healthy mouth. Many of these
bacteria are harmless, but mouths
also contain some which produce
streptococci infections, tonsilitis,
acute catarrhal conditions. influ-
enza or pneumonia.
Sometimes these virile disease
germs become active even when
we haven't . cold but more often
they play follow the leader" with
the common cold virus. This little
virus sets the stage for the entrance
Of more serious conditions.
There are many conditions which
predispose US to the cold. Accord
ing to some, an extreme acidity of
the system Is one such conditions.
Citrus fruit juices are the best
alkaliners but there are many more.
When you are extremely tired you
are much more susceptible to the
attack Of the cold germ. 1t is amaz-
ing how fatigue can lessen our re-

During the months when colds
are prevalent We are indeed wise If

most Of your colds followed q period

Once q cold starts you will save

much as possible. If you have hay

A common complaint from girls
Is that boys repeatedly accept party
invitations. but never do anything
to repay them. In mixed crowd
OF young people, the girls frequently
give parties, while the boys seem
to think that If they merely lend
their lordly presence to these occa-
sions. that is all that can be expect
ed Of them.
Now. there is genuine cause Tor
feminine complaint In this sltua-
tion. Nevertheless, we don't think
the fellows can be blamed too much
for their attitude toward girls and
their parties. Sometimes they take
quite a beating from 'teen-age
hosteSses.
For example, suppose Betty Bow
knot decides to have a party. IN
nine cases out of ten she makes up
her invitation list only after earnest
consultation with a few OF her
girl friends, to find out what mem
bers of the male sex they'd like TO
have present. She may even hold
a heavy conference with every feml-
nine guest on her list.
So what happens? Well, Gerty
Giegle will simply die if that hand
some Joe Jones isn't invited as ner
"partner." Of course, Joe has never
,shown the slightest interest IN
Gerty, even to the extent OF being
aware that she lives and breathes.
Nevertheless, Gerty has a crush on
him, and she thinks this will be q
fine chance to bask in his presence.
BY this process Betty assemblies
q list Of males to be asked to the
party. Maybe the boys hardly know
one another, or hate one another's
buttons. No matter-they must be
asked, because some girl wants
them.
And that isn't all. The girls also
want to be escorted to the party,
80 they put the bee on Betty and
urge her to make the arrange
ments. Joe Jones then gets an
invitation instructing him to bring
Gerty Giggle, and the other fellows
receive similar orders, or worse.
Now, Gerty may live 5 miles and
four bus changes from Joe, and
shed be the last person he'd want
to take even if she lived next door.
But either Joe has to follow his
hostess instructions. or else decline
the bid entirely. Either way, he
can't win. He'll be bored stiff If
he takes Gerty, and he'll engender
o mad in both Betty and Gerty II
he declines.
We think this custom Of asking
boys to parties and dances, and
then commanding them to escort
some girl whom they may or may
not like, is an unfair social prac-
tice which should be ended by
strike, negotiation or act Of Con-
gress. In the hands of a tactful
and considerate hostess, it may be
Ill right. But too many teen-age
earty-givers forget tact and con-

decided that her husband was not
her real mate and she also returned
to the fold with her progeny. An
other daughter, who tried to CON-
bine working all day with running
around all night, had q nervous
breakdown and came back to mother
to be nurSed.
And the youngest son, who wasn't
making enough to feed a canary
bird, marched in one day with his
bride on his arm for mother and
father to support. John threw up
his lob because he didn't think he
was getting enough pay and brought
his family home for hts parents TO
support while he looked around for
a lob with nothing to do and bank
presidents salary. -,
And the little house that woulo
have been so comfortable for two
became so crowded that 1t bulged
at the sides like an overstuned
sausage, and the home that would
have been 50 peaceful with just the
old people in it was filled with
fighting, noisy children and irritable
women who were splitting at each
other like cats.
The case OF the ks has its coun-
terpart in thousands Of other fam1-
lies where the grownup children
dump their troubles In their par
ents' laps, with never a thought OF
what a cruel and dastardly thing
thev are doing in sacrificing the old
people to themselves and making
those who have given 50 much give
them still more.
Adolescent girls and boys. with no
means of supporting themselves, rush
of and get married without one
pang OF pity for the parents on
whose shoulders they are laying an
other heavy burden. Daughters
who get tired of their husbands
leave them and go back home with
their children, without thinking
that they might as well endure a
grumpy husband as for mother and
father to have to stand the upset
and confusion that yelling, healthy,
restless youngsters make in house.
Sons who lose their Jobs bring
their wives, who don't think 1t
worthwhile to even be polite to their
tn-laws, to live upon them without
any compassion for the old people
whose last days they are making
bitter by subjecting them to insults
and friction.

The newborn baby cares about
Just one thing IN the world, and
this IL his own comfort. He Is con-
cerned only with his personal hun
ger, thirst, warmth and bodily we'll
being. But before many weeks have
gone by, he becomes conscious Of
others about him, and 1t Is not long
before he begins to evidence certain
social responses such as honoring
his mother with q wide and tooth
less grin when he sees her coming,
or laughing aloud with slee when
he feels himself in his daddy's
secure arms.
It is very rare for . baby under
. year old to show any enthusiasm
for another baby. and even 2-year-
old tots show small inclination to
play with each other. Playing to-
gether Is . cooperative activity,
and the 2-year-old has little, II any.
cooperative spirit as yet.
A toddler's birthday party Is Ger
tainly an amusing scene! The host
and his small guests are likely to
stare fixedly at one another, and
then to ignore each other as they
become engrossed In playing alone
with q toy or inspecting objects
about the room. Their sociability
has not gained consciousness.
At J years q little tot generally
begins to make overtures toward
other children and wants to play
with somebody instead OF by him.
self.
As we know, some OF US are nat
urally more friendly than are others.
Therefore, the time when . small
child begins to crave the compan-
ionship Of youngsters his own age
varies according to his individual
makeup.
It is foolish for any mother to
think that her child Is backward
because he does not seem to want
to play with other children the way
the baby next door does. 1t Is
equally unwise to try to force q
little child into being sociable with
other youngsters. Mothers should
be persuaded that it really Is i'm
possible to make any one, big OF
little, act in . friendly way. Gradu-
ally, as a young child learns that
when with little companions. little
friends his own age, he is allowed
to play or not as he chooses, he will
be much more likely to be friendly
little fellow than II he associates
other children with . trying scene
with mother nagging him to play
against his will.
AS youngsters grow older. they
learn . great deal from other chill
dren. They pick up traits, Ian
nuaee and mannerisms from their
friends An older's brothers habits
are often copied by the smaller
boy In the family. and q small
girl will try to assume her big
sisters ways.
Little tots learning to walk and
to talk are helped by the activities
and conversations Of older chill
dren. The desire that a young
child feels to learn . game or task
that he sees IN older one attempt
ing successfully is better instruction
and supplies a greater incentive
than any amount Of coaxing and
practice offered by an adult.
