BEAUTIES HINTS
 Stop Tugging; Get q GirdLe That Fits You
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Why do so many stage comedians poke sly fun at women's girdle-tug- ging habits?
 Because the gesture is funny. End If you don't want to be derided, don't do it. You don't have to, you know.
 The way to outwit your imitators is to get a girdle that's long enough to hold to your hips when you sit. Then it won't have to be yanked down when you get up. It won't, that is, If 1t is fitted to your figure properly, and if back garters can be locked into your stockings.
 If buttons on your back garters have a habit of slipping out of stocking welts--due to the strain of getting up from sitting posi- tion-there's a remedy for that. Pad buttons with tiny scraps of cloth or even facial tissue. By adding a little upholstery to the button, you strengthen its grip.

family - where they could advise her on everything from how to dis cipline junior to how to spend her allotment check-she at least. in most cases, came to spend more time with her family and his, and to de- pend more on their advice than she would have if her husband had been with her.
 This has in many cases encour- aged both families to take more than a normal, healthy amount oi interest in the wife's life, her prob lens and her marriage.
 And 1t is going to be hard for the older folks to step out of the pic ture now. They're used to having their say. And because 1t makes them feel needed 1t is going to be hard to give up.
 IT'S THE MANS JOB
 Needless to say, the men are go' ing to come home not wanting any parental or in-law fingers in the pit when, they settle down tc face al the problems of postwar readjust' ment. It was fine for Mary or Susie to have someone to turl. to in theil absence-but it isn't going to be st fine if she keeps right on turning to the older generation for sym pathy, advice and help when hel man is back home and feeling

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Heavy Lifting

Son, IT, college freshman, offered position which requires lifting car- tons weighing a few thunder pounds each. His father died of coronary thrombosis. Is heart disease in- herited2 Would such work injure the boys heart? (Mrs. R. H.
 AnsWer-Heart disease is not in- herited. If the work requires con- stant lifting 1t might cause strain of the heart. If only occasional effort, it would be all right.
 Peroxide
 Does the use of peroxide as mouthwash have any bad effect on the teeth? (Mrs. F. K. s.
 Answer-If used occasionally it is harmless. If you mean to use 1t regularly or frequently, better ask your dentists.

WHAT TO DO WITH ANTI
 SEPTTCS

We'll, here I am again. Of course it's pretty early-that telk about antiseptics has not yet had time to get to the president in charge of public instruction.
 In the treatment of wounds, one first aid application of mild tinc- ture of iodine immediately, to dis infect the wound and the skin im- mediately adjacent, is the only nec- essary or justifiable antiseptic or germicidal treatment - aside from whatever surgical treatment the doctor gives. As for sore throat tonsilitis, laryngitis, quinsy, rhini- tis, coryza, sinusitis and other acute respiratory infections, just between ourselves if I were the patient I wouldn't give you a plugged nickle for ali the antiseptic or germicidal remendies in the world-and I am not unmindful of the sulfa drugs.
 You see, know the most power full antiseptic or germicide we have just what it may be don't know but let's assume we have one that is extremely powerful-and remem- Der we're talking about self-treat- ment or home treatment = can't have the slightest influence on di- producing germs that have invaded the tissues of the throat the lining of the nose, the tonsils or other structures, even If one could keep a concentration of the stuff right there in the throat, the nasal passages, the larynx for five or ten minutes. To imagine that a momentary washing of the surface with any such agent can bother the germs which have invaded the tis- sues is too childish for any one but Wisecare.
 Frequent use of mouthWash, gar gle or nasal spray of antiseptiC character when you have any acute respiratory infection is not entire ly useless, I suppose. It probably gives innocent bystanders more pro- lection than they would have other wise, by disinfecting the medium through which you spread your CT the moisture spray given off wher you cough. sneeze, laugh or talk.
 I am still taking a horse-and- buggy view of the place of antisep' tics in home or domestic medicine and self-treatment. If you want ar opinion on the value of sulfa as { first aid disinfectant I'm not pre-. pared to give one. Of the value O. the sulfa drugs applied under med ical or surgical control no one car have any doubt. But there is { great deal of doubt, at least iron my viewpoint, whether the sulft drugs are safe enough or effective enough for a laymen to use in an. circumstance. Tn the course of an other year or two perhaps the hul labalo and the stampede of sub sidized or publicity-hungry doctor to publish reports of cases of what ever treated with sulfa drugs-witl indifferent results--will have pass ed and We can get some rations knowledge of chemotherapy wit the sulfonamides.

 It is about time we had another interesting hand from Harry J. Fishbein's little black book" There are several ways of bidding this hand. South's bidding showed a very powerful hand with three suits, but North felt that the spade suit was not sufficiently solid to play it at no-trump.
 Before going into the play, look at the hand and see if you think 1t is possible for declarer to make the six-club contract. The opening lead was won with the ace Of spades, the ace of clubs cashed, and declarer had the sad news.

Mir. Peniston reported. You got no legal right to do anything. but I don't see why us Republicans shouldn't have a fit of morality once in a while, as well as the Democrats. I'll get the Mabel Grove police to let you hold meeting in Hawkeye Park, and you can lam bast Brother Rood to a fare-you- well. Say, tell me, Dean: Is this Tattooed Countess pretty hot stuff? must get me copy before Rood sells out"
 T haven't had time to read It. I mean, read it all, yet the Dean explained.
 WHEN the five censors appeared w on the bandstand in Hawkeye Park, not more than 50 persons had gathered to listen, and most of them muttered, What are they? Mormons or Seventh Day Ad- vents?"
 In a nasty prologue lasting IT minutes, the Reverend MT. Pe- derson introduced Dean Planish.
 The Dean was in a deplorable state. It seemed to him that all of the twenty-three auditors who were still remaining were snicker- ing.
 My = my friends he groaned, and somebody down there laughed. He struggled, he tried to think of something better, and came out with thunderous My FRIENDS!"
 But Peony was looking up at him with eyes that promised that if he walloped them good, she would be very sweet to him to- night. Without effort or any appar- ent control of 1t, he heard his voice suddenly start flowing strong and steady, full of morality and adjectives and grammar. Five min utes lates he was trumpeting:
 If you will permit a teacher to use such a phrase, maybe we better quit kidding ourselves into the be- lief that it's Wall Street and Paris and Hollywood that start all this vice. Here's a Iowy boy, Carl Van Vechten, and here's Al Rood a neighbor whom you all know conniving to flood us with a mas terpiece of such insinuation, i'm morality and wicked brilliance that We are all tempted to thoughts entirely different from those proper to the Middlewest. And what arc we going to do about them?" He never did answer his ques' ton, but wound up with Martha Washington and the Coast of Maine.
 AS they left Hawkeye Park, the Dean sighed, Poor Rood! I'm sure he's not bad fellow at heart. It! kind of shame to ruin his busi' ness"
 AS he was driving past Rood'S Cigar Store, he stopped. Standing on box in front of the shop was MT. Rood, pile of a hundred books on box besides him, and he was shouting, Step right up, folks and get your copy Of The Tattooec Countess - all about the French countess and the sheik, in tht , Arabian desert wild doings by moonlight on the banks of tht Congo-the book that's being ad . vertised right now by the presi dent of Kinnikinick College, at tn meeting in the park. as the hottes
 yarn since the Song of Solomon" l They were buying.
 } Peony urged, "Oh, Gideon, i want to get a couple of copies President Bull said he'd love t read 1t, and I think I might sent 3 one to Daddy for his birthday" (TO Be COntinued)

then lead the fourth heart. When West follows with the nine-spot, de- clarer must trump with dummy s queen of clubs. Now should East discard his nine of spades? Let me show you what happens if he does.
 Declarer will lead spade from dummy. Having nothing but trumps, East will have to ruff with the five of clubs, and no matter what club he returns, declarer will make the balance of the tricks. In- stead of discarding the nine of spades, East should under-trump the queen of clubs with the five. Then there Is no possible way for declarer to make the contract.

CHAPTER XI

CHAPTER XI
 DEORE the first meeting of the D censorship board with the Dean in the chair, Peony prompted him, rive got something for you to go after = novel published a couple of years ago-the Tattooed Countess, by Carl Van Cechten Why don't you get busy and censor hell out of it?"
 "You can't! I understand MT. Van Vechten was born here in Iowa. He's a Native Sonw The Dean referred to Native Son as though 1t had a close relationship to the Nativity.
 That's why I picked it. All the guys in the State that xnew-him- when, or claim they knew-him- when, will be jealous of him be- cause he went of to New York"
 But is 1t immoral enough to get folks interested?"
 T haven't read it. I tell you. with all I got to do, I just don't seem to have time to read novels. but I hear there's a woman and a young fellow interested in each other in the book, without being married! And it's all laid in Iowa --the setting, mean"
 q see"
 And then it's kind of highbrow and kind of humorous, and that makes immortality a lot worse"
 wen see what we can do to it."
 
 THE rest of the committee. when Il the meeting was held at Mabel Grove, were pleased to censor a refugee Iowan, and they set forth with verbal flaming torches to drive the Tattooed Countess clean out of Garfield County. But in the entire county, though in cities like Dubuque and Des Molnes 1t was rumored to be plentiful, they could discover the book only ir the homes of 8 newspaper owner doctor, two lawyers and sever clergymen. There were listed IT the county five book shops, oi which there actually sold books, al Christmas time, but none Of these had a copy.
 Peony was not satisfied There must be some on sale. This is bright, educated county - Yankee and Scandinavians. There must bt some people here who're cultured enough to read immoral books Ranging by automobile, she went into every stand that sold maga- zines or toys, and right there 1T Mabel Grove, not 10 blocks iron the grotto of Mrs. William Bass wood. she found two copies of Int Tatttooed Countess on sale in th' cigar store of one MT. Rood.
 gTvHE nve members of the censor A ship board, attended by two ad miring wives, waited upon MI Rood in his shop.
 He looked thin, aniable ant dangerous. No, he hadn't read Tn Countess. Tn fact, he never reat anything but Chic sales and some times Louisa May Alcott. No, h didn't know how he happened t have two copies of The Countess they probably came in with a Job lot of magazines, book-ends an  Easter cards. No - truly no = h wouldn't promise not to sell Tn Countess. He was running his busi ness to suit himself. not bunc of bottle-nosed preachers and - h looked at Peony dumb bunnie All right why didn't they arres him? There was just as muc dividends in going to jail as l running cigar store.
 The Dean remarked, We'll St about this!" and with all the dig nity of his short beard and golo trimmed eyeglasses, he led n crusaders out of the den of vice.
