changes as she looks at the small wound in
his arm from which blood is still oozing.
Did it hit the bone. Dicky7" she asks.
w-I don't know whether it actu-
ally touched the bone or not" Dicky
told Katharine, his voice unsteady
with pain. "But it sort of feels that
way"
She nodded as she took a fresh
bandage from her kit, and deftly
wrapped it around his forearm
again. Then she leaned forward and
looked at him.
"There's just one thing that's Ger
tain," she said. "We've got to have
doctor here as soon as possible.
"But-but-this setup," Dicky said.
"The Chiefs coming, and-there's
a man in the closet"

tartly. "Stop babbling! Really, you
know, doctors come on the battle
fields, right up close to the generals,
sometimes. Besides. you know that
Doctor Twitchell is your father-in-
laws right hand man. He has no
important secrets from him."
GAIL right. all right" Dicky said
it wearily. "Have it your own way!
You would, anyway"
Cheerful Answer
"You never chirped truer note,
Dickybird," Katharine told him
cheerily, as he mustered strength
enough to make face at her. Then
she turned to me.
"Where is the telephone in this
arty establishment" she asked,
and knew that she was encourag-
ing Dicky to bait her and forget
his pain, if possible.

# You Suspect You Have Heart Trouble

| Drugs are not of great deal of
value in these cases, although seda-
tives or quieting preparations may
be used for time until the patients
fear and anxiety are overcome.
Of course, the heart is such an
important organ that no chances
should be taken with it. This means
that in all instances where symp-
toms of heart disease are present,
there is need for thorough study
to make sure that actual damage to
the heart has not occurred. This in
cludes an X-ray of the heart, as well
as an electrocardiagram or tracing
of the heart beat. If no evidence of
heart damage is found, then treat
ment along the lines suggested may
be carried out.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
M. T.: What causes heartburn?
Answer: Heartburn comes from
many causes, such as gall-bladder
disease, ulcer of the stomach, or in
testine, chronic constipation, and
appendicitis.
Eating too rapidly or eating
wrong foods will also produce this
condition.

How to Select
Eve Shadows
BY HELEN FOLLETT

IT is only the daring woman,
ready to demonstrate her beauty
convictions, who can wear eye shad-
ows for the first time without
feeling of self consciousness. She is
not the shrinking violet; she is the
tiger lily or the flaming rose. She
has chic and dash, can get away
with anything in the way of per-
sonal adornment.
Yet she makes decisions slowly.
When selecting eye shadows she
goes to a cosmetic bar, tries out the
different shades. 1t is the only way.
She has choice between blue,
brown, bronze, grey, green, purple,
mauve. Grey is out. If she is a red
head she probably decides upon a
soft green that will do things for
her flaming thatch. She will be told
by the experienced attendant IN
charge that blues are flattering to
blondes and brunettes.
1t Takes Finesse

stick and maybe get away with it.
Not so with the tinting that she ap-
plies to the shutters of her soul win
dows. That takes finesse. 1t should
be applied first along the line OF the
lashes, do a fade away as it is

inner corner of the lid, continue to
the outer terminal until it is on a
line with the tip of the eyebrows
if they are not too extended.
There are other means than eye
shadows for high lighting that por,-
tion of ones sacred phiz. A touch
of rouge will do it. When one car

lids are usually light pink. So this

Lessons
Done By
The Clock
By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D.


TEN or fifteen years ago there
was the custom among many ele-
mentary classrooms in the so-called
best school systems of having one
or several daily tests, as in arith-
metic, in which the child had to
work against the watch. Besides,
frequent drills were carried on in
like fashion as regular classroom
work. From what l can gather, this
emphasis on speed in number work
has, the nation over, passed its crest.
However, l still get letters like the
following:
"Our daughter usually gets good
marks at school but, recently, shows
definite signs of nervousness over
her addition. Upon questioning her
over her home work this week she
suddenly broke down crying and
said she could not do it any faster,
that she must hurry, hurry, with
the result that she is SO upset that
l marvel that she can get anything
near the correct answers. Up to
the present they have been taught
the simple addition, making total
of the first two numbers in col
umn, adding the next and next in
consecutive order. Now, suddenly,
they are expected to add-and quick
ly-in a new way, totaling the first
two figures, keeping that total in
mind while totaling the next two,
adding the two totals and on and
on. Please show me how to help her."
Speed Pressure
In about this way I answered the
mother: 1t is easy to see how that
child is upset over the speed pres
sure at school. But you hardly can
hope to change that teachers fool
ish ways and, to criticize the teacher
before your child will harm the
child.
Have your child write down some
samples of sums like those she must
do at school. Then show her at home
how to do them as they are to be
done at school, only urging her not
to hurry but to work slowly and
carefully. Explain to this child that
if she learns at home good ways of
doing each sum accurately she will
soon be able to do them more quickly
at school.
First of all, check with her on the
100 simple addition facts, ascertain
ing which ones she is not sure of
or tends to count out. Then have her
practice on learning these by heart,
three or four of them in an evening.
A copy of these 100 basic addition
facts appear in my bulletin, "Home
Helps in Arithmetic" which l am
enclosing (and which anyone else
may have in a stamped envelope).
Write the Sum
After your child has added the
first two numbers of column, write
down the sum. Under it also write
the sum of the next two numbers,
and show her how to add these two
sums, first while looking at them
and later from memory. When she
hesitates or shows confusion at
keeping the numbers in her head
write them down for her to look at.
Aim to help her avoid guessing
and being confused. Be so calm your
self as to cause her to work serenely.
AS she thus gains more confidence
from success she will have less
worry and more speed will come
without her trying to hurry. But
don't look for rapid gains. Help her
not to expect herself to gain rapidly.
Just set the stage so she will see
that she is really gaining.

Of pound week."
MAY l know what Madame is
talking about ?" he asked.
T'm talking about the consump.
tion of fresh fish per person in this
country. Twelve years ago we ate
from IL to 13 pounds year, but
last year we ate only II pounds,
which is just a little more than
three ounces week for each per-
son."
THAT is an incredible state of
AFFAIRS" said the Chef. "In this
country you have an enormous sup
ply of many kinds of fish. 1t is an
excellent food? Yes. 1t is in the bud
get? Yes. Then Madame, why is not
more fish used on the American ta-
Bile? 1t is preposterous, it is waste
full, it is"
"Now wait minute Chef; let's
reason it out. In the first place many
homemakers haven't had much ex-
perience in fish cookery. This is be-
cause their families don't care much
for fish,"
Matter of Cooking
"But it is merely a matter of
cooking the fish in an interesting
way to make it tasty" countered
the Chef. ut should never be over
cooked. Fish is as delicate as the
egg. 1t must be cooked at the right
temperature or it will be dry"
"Then you must remember, Chef,
that until the past few years, fish
has not been readily available to
the whole country. The quick-frozen
methods that conserve the delicate
flavor and texture of fish, are COM
paratively recent national develop
ment. And last but not least, the
man of the house often turns up his
nose at fish and wants meat in
stead"
"Ah, that is the woman of it.
You always blame the man! If she
will serve him a well-cooked dish
of fish that is fresh, looks appetiz-
ing and is nicely garnished, he will
eat it."
81 agree that he will eat it, if he
realizes that fish is meatw
Fish is meat! How is that, Ma
dame
"It's because meat is the flesh of
animals. In fact it is any solid pro-
tein food eaten for nourishment, and
certainly fish comes within that de-
finition."
Bone Weight
II agree to that, Madame. And
of course the bone weight of fish
is much lighter than that of other
animals, and there is less waste.
And fish does not shrink so much
in cooking. 1t is really up to us to
suggest more good fish recipes for
our readers"
But they mustn't be too fancy,
Chef. think they would like good
English fish N chips dinner. Do you
know that recipe?"
II have eaten that many times in
London. 1t is very popular and will
fit any budget. The cost of the dish
depends on the kind of fish you buy.
