Check on ManneriSms
Almost Every One Has Some Trait
That Creates Bad Impression
By Kay CaIdsceH and Alden Harrison

One of the most amusing sec
tions we've ever seen in a high
school annual consisted of a series
of candid camera shots which a boy
took of his classmates throughout
the school year. He snapped them
at dances and sports events, in the
corridors and the cafeteria, sitting
in assembly and lounging on the
school wall.
Before the pictures were printed,
the faces were disguised, and prize
was offered to the student who
could make the largest number of
correct identifications. The section
was a school sensation for a week,
and while the identity of most of
the students was unknown to us,
we were much amused to see the
ridiculous poses, positions and at
titudes which young people can fall
into when they are not thinking
about their appearance.
For instance, have you ever imag-
ined how you look while chewing
gum and dancing at the same
time? Have you ever seen your
self scratching mosquito bite,
twisting a lock of hair. froWning
and squirting, or fitting back in a
chair?
Almost all of us have certain little
manneriSms which we'd be far bet
ter off without. And once in while
it's a good idea to check up on
ourselves and see just what pos
lures or gestures we've unknOW-
ingly adopted, to our own detri-
ment.
Watch out for nail gnaWing,
knuckle chewing. pencil biting, lip
nipping, nose rubbing, ear pulling.
mouth tWitching, eye blinking, and
hair rumpling. Do you twist your
hands or your handkerchief? Do
you tWiddle your watch chain. or
constantly fasten and unfasten your
wrist watch bracelet? Are you one
of those annoying people who talk
behind their hands. twist their feet
around the rungS Of the chair, or
tap their fingers constantly? If you
catch yourself in any of these
habits, you can be sure that other
people notice it. and that it doesn't
help you make that good impress
sion that you'd like to make
Some of these habits are signs of
shyness, nervousness, or other per-
sonality disturbances. Some may
have physical basis. But in a great
many cases they result merely
from carelessness Once you realize
that you've developed some such
meaningless mannerism. you can
often correct it by little persistent
effort.
Probably you'll need the help of
a friend or relative to find out just
which. if any, of these gestures you
habitually use. Make a pact with
Babs or Bill TO watch each other
for week or two and remind each
other whenever one of these things
crops up in your conduct. After a
few such warnings, you'll catch
yourself in the mannerism, and
deliberately interrupting it few
times will start you on the road to
breaking the habit.
At the same time it's a good idea
to check up on your posture while
standing walking and sitting no
you sprawl all over the seat while

Nice eHairline
Desired by
All Men
Daily Routine Care
Greatly Helps
The Growth
Br Patricia Lindsay

BY FHfrICfG Lfnd'0N
Today We write to the men about
their hair problems, the most COM
mon of which is badness.
If head is taken in hand in
time. badness is often avoidable.
A tight, tense scalp. dandruff, pre-
mature craving, excessively oily or
dry hair, are all danger signals.
Either is natures way Of asking
for sensible cooperation to promote
hair growth and here are few of
her DOS and DONTs.
Don't shampoo your hair often.
Keep it clean by using a cleansing
tonic daily and by brushing.
2-Dont take your morning
shower minus protecting cap. A
morning scalp soaking leads to
badness.
3-DOnt wear a hat with a tight
hatband because it retards the cir
culation over the crown of your
head.
4-Dont expose your hair to the
hot sun or drying wind for long
periods without a protecting scalp
covering such as a pomade, oily
tonic or cap.
5-Don't fail to get eight hours
of sleep. Rest is important to the
body's health.
6-Don't drink too much alcohol
Whether you like to be reminded
about it or not-scalp and skin
react unfavorably to cocktails.
Don't worry. Worry robs the
hair Of its vitality by stopping scalp
circulation.
8-DOnt Use your scalp as
guinea pig A mixture of formulas
can kill hair roots. Be loyal to one
brand for a fair trial of thirty days
at least.
do eat well-balanced meals.
Plenty of leafy, vegetables, fresh
fruits, whole grains and dairy
products. Vitamins and minerals
are essential to hair health
2-Do determine your scalp prob
lem-is it dry. oily? Have you fall
ing hair or dandruff? Then buy
corrective, recommended scalp aids.
3-Do use the scalp aids in COM
bination as directed. daily.
4Do stimulate your scalp by
massaging it with finger tips and
brushing your hair up and away
from the scalp.
5-Shampoo your hair with the
prepared shampoo of the brand of
scalp aids you use daily. Allow one
month for first good results-six
months for an appreciable growth.

gest reliable scalp aids for men

There Are Numerous
Foods Which Nav
Cause Allergy
By Edith VI. Barber


The other day some one asked
me to print an allergy diet in this
column. Of course this is impos-
sible. The word allergy is used
to describe an idioSyncrasy against
a product which may be food or
anything else which has the slight
est protein content. We often find
that persons who are subject to
hay fever also have food allergy.
The foods which may cause al
lergy are numerous, but the most
common offenders are shellf1sh.
eggs. milk, nuts, peas, beans. whole
grains, wheat, Strawberries and al
cohol. The symptoms may be hives
or other types of rash, digestive
disturbances, headaches or irrita-
tionS of the throat. nose and lungs
When the doctor is consulted. he
usually makes skin tests which may
show the cause or causes of the
disturbances These tests are not
always infallible and in this case
diet experiments will be tried. start
ing with very few foods with the
gradual addition of others, until
symptoms of allergy occur
The remedy for an allergy is
simply an avoidance of the Offend
ing food In the case of children
it is sometimes possible to establish
an immunity to such an important
food as milk by giving it in minute
quantities which are gradually in
creased Special forms of bread
must be used when wheat is the
offender. 1t is strange that some
persons who cannot take wheat
in any form will have no trouble
with corn, rye, rice and buckWheat.
You can see why it was impossible
for me to print general "allergy"
diet.

day We see girls giving up fat pay
envelopes and mahogany desks IN
offices to go and work for their
board and clothes in poor mems
kitchens. Everyday we see girls
marrying men who do not make
enough to support two. and keeping
on with their jobs, thereby adding
domestic service to their labor out
side of the home.
Perhaps in the past, when matri-
monv was about the only respectable
gainful occupation open to women
many girls did marry for a home
and to get somebody to support
them. But not now, when virtually
every young woman goes into busl-
ness when she can support herself
better than the average husband can
do it.
Nor do the girls who marry poor
men befool themselves into thinking
that they are going to lead lives OF
svbaritic ease and have matched
pearls and limousines on their huS-
bands thin pay envelopes. They
have been money-earners them
selves and they know just exactly
how short a distance a dollar Will
go.
They know that they are going
TO have to work harder than they
ever did before, and that they are
going to have fewer clothes and
personal indulgences. They know
lust what sacrifices they are going
to have to pay on the altar OF love.
But they do it gladly.
To appreciate how ridiculous IS
this charge that women marry
solely for money you have only to
run over the list of your acqualnt-
ances. There is Mrs. A, who married
her husband when he didn't have
two dimes to rub together In his
rocket. who cooked and washed
and scrubbed and pinched pennies,
and who literally showed him INTO
success. He has money now, but he
didn't have it when she married
him.
Think of Mrs. B. who married a
frail, delicate boy, whom she knew
she would always have to support,
and who has kept him alive by her
nursing and care. Think OF Mrs.
c.. who married charming ne'er
do-Well. and Mrs. D. who married a
drunkard and whose devotion has
stood the strain of toiling to feed
and clothe a lazy loafer. You
can't buy love like that. Even
millionaire hasn't the price.
Instead of women being mercen-
ary in marriage they are not
mercenary enough. They don't give
sufficient attention to the money
factor because, after all, we have
to eat and be clothed and have a
roof over our heads after marriage
as before marriage. 1t would do a
lot to insure domestic felicity if girls
would ask their suitors: How much
do YOU make? as we'll as asking
them: How much do you love me?
Of course, there are some gold
diggers who marry for money, but
thev don't waste themselves on the
chaps who have still their fortunes
to make They pick out the elderly
sugar papas who have already made
theirs and who can give them
cabochon emeralds and matched
pearls, and so the poor lad is in
no danger from them. The girl
who marries him is not marrying
him for money She is marrying
him for love alone.

Soap Jelly Has
Many Uses

Instead of throwing away small
scraps of hand soap, save them until
you have cupful. Add quart of
boiling water and simmer over low
heat. stirring occasionally until every
scrap is melted. Pour into a con-
tainer, cool and cover (empty coffee
cans make fine containers. Now you
have a soap Jelly for which you can
find many uses. Whip it into stiff
lather for shampooing upholstery or
small rugs. Use it for washing
painted walls, painted furniture and
woodwork. Dissolve it in lukeWarm
water for washing lingerie. Try it
as a shampoo for your hair. You'll
never want to be without it again.

Because it is "just like mothers"
this two-piece dress which looks like
a suit is a great favorite with the
school crowd. The jacket topper in
pattern No. 1565-B has the same
smartly cut collar and lapels, the
fitted lines through the torso the
same pair of pockets at the hem as
mothers bobby suit! The bias cut
skirt has the proper flare, too!
Yes, this popular fashion is just
as important to school girls as it is
to older sisters and mothers. The

ored frock appeals to the girls who
are learning now to be careful in

.Child's Teeth
Corrected
Easily
Orthodontists do
Work After the
Seventh Year
By Leftice Lee Street,

By Lettuce Lee SfrePH
Dear Mrs. Streett-What I would
like to know is if anything can be
done about teeth that are widely
spaced. Can they be capped?
Thank you i'll advance-Mrs. S. K.
Answer-1 appreciate your writing.
Mrs. S. K, and am happy to answer
your questions. 1 do wish that you,
and most of the other readers, too,
would please. please send me the
age, weight, and sex of your child
when you send in your inquiries. I
am often baffed BY ambiguous let
ters that do not give me clue as
to whether the child in question is
a baby in arms or big 12-year-old
boy.
Now about your answers, fire.
quently an orthodontist "a dentist
who straightens teeth can correct
crowded or too widely spaced teeth
after the childS seventh year. Some
orthodontists prefer to wait until
a youngster is 9 or 10 before starting
this work.
If permanent tooth has been in
jured or broken it may be capped,
but the crown is usually not put on
until the child is about Is years old
when the tooth has attained full
growth.
Every child's mouth should be in
spected by an orthodontist no later
than his 10th year. and it is really
advisable to have this examination
before this age If child has no.
ticeably irregular teeth a dentist
should be consulted no later than
the seventh year. Often a dentist
can avoid overcrowded permanent
teeth by widening the spaces be-
tween the deciduous teeth.
Sometimes handsome teeth that
appear evenly spaced may not meet
properly. Such malocclusion can
interfere with the efficient mastica-
ton of foods as well as having other
unpleasant results.
In order for a child to develop
strong, healthy teeth he must eat
foods that are high in vitamins and
minerals. Milk. egg yolk, butter,
fruits and fresh vegetables, cod
liver oil or sunshine, are needed
daily.
have made up a list of the
foods and vitamins that promote
the growth of strong teeth and
shall be happy to send it to you
if you will write me, care of this
paper, and enclose a stamped
(3-cent) self addressed envelope
with YOUR request.

Former Resident Dies

Death took Rev. Benjamin Ferrall,
rs, former Bluffton resident and for
many years a prominent minister of
