nine clothe* and designs and color
Of the Renaissance are going to be
popular this fall, I’ve amused my
aelf lately figuring out makeup to
harmonize with them.
“First of all, I think less make
up will be worn. One can’t very
well put a lady-llkc, draped gown
on her body and an athletic
looking, out-of-doors makeup on
her face. We all will have to
strive for a subtle, subdued look
that our grandmothers had In
the days of basqued waists and
bustles. Faces must have a gen
tle, old-world appearance.
“With Titian red, I like make
up with organglsh, amber lights. I
tried a warm, creamy powder
(made by mixing ivory and
rachel tones), rouge with an
orange cast and lipstick to match.
These seem to catch and hold the
charming tones of the red you
see In the old masters.
"For Veronese green, a rich red
makeup seems to be especially at
tractive.. The natural blood tones
ore best, of course. This means
delicate peach powder, crimson
lipstick and rouge.
“Como blue culls for cosmetics
with underlying bluish shades.
Ivory powder and rose-pink rouge
lipstick make my skin look as
cool as the color Itself euggests.
With Vatican purple, I found
warm cream powder and the
II
float her Anar I
crimson rouge that goes with
Veronese preen to be nice.
"Naturally, I realize that nil
makeup should harmonize with
the Individual’s skin tones. These
color charts which I suggest bring
out the natural coloring In my
own complexion, and, in addition,
enhance the charm of my fall
clothes In the new Renaissance

AUTHOR'S NOT 1C: These answers are Riven I rum Ilie scientific
point of view. Not all moral questions can be answered with ubsolute
scientific accuracy, but no (•'•olslon as to what Is morally right is
possible without science. Science puts the rlfchls of organized society

1. Dr. Louis Anspacher, In his
stimulating book “This Bewildered
Age,” says: "The hectic speed of
modern living has turned the art
of living Into tiie business of liv
ing', anil we are overbusy, breath
jess and distraught.” A strong case
can be made out that our high
pressure life Is u mere exchange
of speed for reverence, reflection,
religion and philosophy—in short
an expense regardless of either
beauty or strength or even com
fort.
1. I know a woman who had
a very unpleaslng personality, did
not know how to dross, had a high
pitched voice and about everything
that would make her either un
attractive to men or unnoticed by
them. But she made up her mind
rte would win a good husband.
Rhe studied dress, how to rouge
and make up effectively, how to
walk and talk, pleasing manners
pad tones of voice and what men
were most interested in,—and she
got a perfectly good husband and
deserved him. But what man on
earth would have ever got "on to"
what she was doing? Lillian has
loo high an opinion of masculine
wisdom and too low an opinion of
the wiles of a woman.
3. A child with an Intelligence
rating ubove !I0 can learn almost
anything; but as Dr. Arthur Oates
shows In his fine. “Educational
I’sychology" It Is absurd to expect
a child with an Intelligence rating
of 90 to become the original, bril
liant, creative adult possible to a
child with a rating of li!0 or ItO.
Hard work will, to some extent,
raise the Intelligence scores of
both children but no evidence ex
ists that it will convert a dull
child into n genius. X think, my
self this latter point of vlevV ex
tremely optimistic. I shall some

THROUGH NEW ENGLAND
WITH A SNORER
A erenlor friend contributes this
•eport on snoring. I Halt! friend.
3ut then, I haven’t called him den
or to hia face, as yet.
I recently was forced to join the
irray of researchers In this sonor
)us field when I took a trip
hrough New England with a
'rlend who is famous as a snorer
imong snorers . . .Actually im
possible for me to get any sleep,
t>nce he had shifted into high, al
though I am a sound sleeper. He
vas regretful about It and cooper
ited in my attempts to silence him.
Habitually he slept on his back
vlth his mouth agape in the clas
ilcal snorer posture. We tried
)ropplng pillows under one shoul
ler to throw him on his side, but
is soon as he fell asleep he would
ihift back to the supine position.
Similarly we attempted to keep his
nouth closed by propping a pillow
tnder his chin, but htls was unsat
sfactory—it wouldn’t hold his jaw
jp, and we feared pressure on the
:rachea or possible pressure on the
recurrent laryngeal nerve and var
ous other catastrophles we dread
n those under our care.
I finally tried a Barton bandage
tuch as Is used in splinting a frac
tured jaw, and It seemed to fill the
bill as long as it remained on,' but
Home time in the course of the
night It slipped, though as long as
it remained put I could get In some
sleep.
Snoring, 1 have been taught, Is
raused by the soft palate and uvula
flapping between twin currents of
air coming through the nose and
mouth, as these soft parts hang
pendulous and relaxed with the
subject in the supine position.
(Supine, lay readers, means flat
on the back.)
So that closing the mouth, or
sleeping on one side, or better
sleeping semi-prone, will stop snor
ing.
(Semi-prone, means half lying
on the belly.)
I have never observed a snorer
who didn’t sleep with his mouth
wide open, so I infer there is us
ually some nasal obstruction which
makes necessary an auxiliary air
supply through the mouth.
In my friend’s case there is a
history of removal of some growth,
presumably polyps, from the nose
several years ago, and the possi
bility of recurrence. Therefore he
has consented to submit to careful
naso-laryngeal examination and
proper treatment of uny abnormal
ity this may reveal.
During the day he usually has
his lips slightly open and appears
to do a good deal of mouth
breathing. Yet his general health
is good and his wind and stamina
are excellent.
(. D.D.S.)
Sleeping prone, either without a
pillow or with a small thin one,
is the remedy in some cases.
Usually there is some nose or
throat condition which requires
treatment, but in many cases snor
ing is simply the effect of the en
gorgement of the nasal mucous
membrane during relaxation of
sleep, wh-ere the body tone or res
iliency Is below par from laziness,
neglect of exercise, overeating, ex
cesses of various kinds.

One Big Hath Tnlt
We have membership in a club
of twenty families, with a private
swimming pool. Some member*
soap themselves when they go in
swimming, and others object to
that. . . . (S.lt.)
Answer—It makes no difference
ho far as the sanitary or hygienic
question is concerned. Would it
not. lie better to require persons to
bathe before entering the pool?
Ten years ago you favored me
with a copy of your thesis on con
stipation wherein you recom
mended somersaults. Kver since
then I have done so and have been
wonderfully bcnefltted. Though SO
years old am still flopping every
day. (W. E. B.)
Answer—Which rather puts to
shame a lot of people half your
age who are afraid to unbend.
"The Constipation llahit" is a

to Imugine Iced tea harms the ar

YOUR
CHILDREN
By Otw Robrt» BartM *
A teacher told me she had been
accused last year of talking about
:axes In school, and an Irate par
ent hart aone to the school board
about It. "We’re on relief," he had
said "and blatantly It save every
boy and girl of unfortunate fam
ilies a black mark In the eyes of
the children whose fathers pay
taxes on property. A teacher has
no business referring to It at all.”
She explained to me that the les
son had concerned taxes, the sub
ject being civil-government. ”1
stated among other things besides
protection,' improvements and ex
penses of running a city," she said,
“that part of the money went to
help people who needed It. That
was all. The children themselves
took It up. I cannot help class feel
ing. 1 might Just as well have skip
ped the Civil War and the Eman
cipation Proclamation because I
had colored children In the room.”
"Things do seem to be closing
In on the teacher,” I remarked.
“In the chaos of feeling today It
must be terribly hard not to of
fend. I feel particularly sympa
thetic with the high-school teach
er who tries to speak objectively
of the Germany of today, or the
Italian preparations or the Japan
ese question. In fact It has gotten
so that reference to the World War
and Its results can start real fire
works.”
Students Balt Her
"That’s true,” she exclaimed
emphatically. "Helen, my sister
teaches in a high schol. She dreads
history and political economy so
much that she can’t sleep at night.
The boys seem to be waiting to
bait her on his ideas about Com
munism and Socialism. They ask
her what she thinks and then If
she tries to explain some parent
writes her that If she does It again
she’ll be reported.
"Why do they Include such dy
namite In the curriculum when
even seniors are not ready for It.
Students lack tne experience and
tolerance needed to discuss such
subjects intelligently. History used
to be facts, dates and all that. It
Isn’t done that way any more.”
"Going back to your own case
and taxes," I said "perhaps you
could placate everybody by show
ing that nearly everyone Is taxed.
Explain the sales-tax and also
show how renters are actually In
most cases paying the property
taxes of the owners. It Is included
in the monthly rent, usually out
side of Interest on the Investment."
Fault of the Times
She agreed to do everything In
her power to avoid further trouble.
The times are responsible for
mper-sensltlveness among our
leople. It cannot all be helped be
cause a worried people are prone
to imagine slights In no way in
tended.
Parents feel strongly and the
ihlldren reflect It. Certain words
if the school-room may bo misin
terpreted and thus misquoted at
lome. Few teachers, I am positive,
would willingly or wittingly offend
i child. .

which cooking is conducted there
indeed makes it worthy of praise.
A little less frequently do we hear
discussed the various other points
of German hospitality, although to
my mind they are equally interest

It is quite difficult to draw the
line between Germany hospitality
and our own; but there certainly is
every evidence of generosity and
consideration. The two or three

“GOOD MICK” AND
GOOD TEETH
How often we give credit to good
luck for such supreme gifts as
health and sound teeth: "Oh, she is
lucky; her teeth haven’t u cavity In
them!”
Now it would be idle to say that
chance, or good fortune, play no
part in such matters. It has been
demonstrated by dental research
workers that some people inherit
good teeth; there are whole fam
ilies whose teeth are sound, through
no apparent effort on their part,
Just as some families appear to
have extra resistance toward other
diseases, through some unknown
factor they have Inherited.
But in the majority of cases,
sound teeth ure the result of care
and forethought, beginning with
the mother, who gave thought to
her child’s teeth even before It was
born, and who saw to It that the
child had plenty of milk, Vitamin
D foods and Vitamin C foods dur
ing its early years, while the enam
el of the teetli wns forming.
Studies have shown that even in
those families that seem to have
special resistance io tooth decay,
the major factor may be the fam
ily’s dietary habits. They are often
found to be milk drinkers, persons
who are fond of the sun, and who
In winter use plenty of eggs, fruit
and other vltamln-rlch foods. Very
often they are totally unconscious
of the health values of these foods:
they use them because they like
them, and health flows from such
habits.
If all Americans were to adopt
better dietary habits, making great
er use of the simple foods, it Is
likely that within a generation the
enormous percentage of dents) de
cay and other tooth troubles would
disappear:
Wliat should the adult with had
teeth do? Dr. Wlsan will discuss

At least once each year the Ger

These days we are aware tha
certain foods make strong bonce
others develop muscles, create
energy for Immediate needs o
protect against disease. Childrei
need all these foods daily to grov
and keep healthy.
Milk, vegetables, cereals am
fruits must be abundant. Meat no
so much so. One specialist in chil
dren’s diets says that the “mea
portion should be the size of th<
palm of the child’s hand."
Eggs and fish must be cookec
slowly because intense heat makei
these foods hard to digest.
Every growing child needs a
quart of milk a day. This need
not all be drunk but can bo usee
in cream soups and sauces, cus
tards, ice creams, simple puddings
and on cereals.
Fruit is good for its mineral
and vitamin content and often
acts as a stimulant to a child's
appetote. Either fresh, stewed
dried fruits or canned fruits arc
valuable in every meal of the day
The mother who has difficulty In
persuading her child to cat veg
etables can use an extra amount
of fruit in his diet.
Vegetables Important.
Leafy vegetables are important,
being rich sources of tooth and
bone building material. A child
not much over a year old should
have one or two leafy vegetables,
finely-minced, every day.
Cereals can be used in gruels
from the time a child is six
months old. Gradually thickened,
they may appear in porridge form
by the time he is a year old. In a
restricted diet, cereals can be used
profitably twice a day. Two kinds
may be served for sake of variety
and preference should be given to
those made from whole grains.
Children love ise cream and It’s
so little trouble to make and so
nourishing for them that It should
beserved often. By varying the
flavor, it- can be used repeatedly
without danger of becoming mo
notorous.
Frozen Peach Mold.
Two cups milk, 1 package un
flavored Ice cream powder, 2 cups
whipping cream, 1-2 cup sugar, 2
cups fresh peach pulp, few grains
salt, 4 drops almond extract.
Add milk very gradually to ice
cream powder, stirring until dis
solved. Whip cream until firm and
fold first mixture into it. Turn
into freezing tray of automatic re
frigerator and freeze as rapidly
us possible. Stir thoroughly three
times during first hour of freezing
At second stirring add mixture ol
sugar, peach pulp, salt and al
mond extract. Cream should be
thick for third stirring. Let freeze
until firm. Serve cut in slices or
puc kin melon mold and garnish
with slices of fresh fruit.
To freeze In mold fill mold full
of frozen cream, packing it In
much and eat every sort of fancy
cake you can hold, and drink cho
colate or coffee with whipped
cream. Some families have come
to the tea habit, but they are in the
minority. After there Is music ut
the hour for afternoon tea; the din
of chatter and music sometimes if
dreadful; Before you depart, again
you are served ices, sweetmeats,
cakes, fruits and glasses of lemon
ade. And when you leave, let me
say frankly, you find you are very
hoarse, very full . . . and pretty un
comfortable.

i Paris (UP)—Back to nature In
bathing suits this summer means
back to nature as far as colors
are concerned for fall. Warm au
tumn shades are to be slightly
subdued for town wear with fas
cinating dull reds predominating
and browns as second choice. Bur
gundy Is the central note for the
reds veering to raspberry on the
bright side and to a purplish-red
on the somber side.
Browns will be warm in tone
| and will seen with soft rich green
| to complete the picture of fashion
returning to nature. For evening
wear, soft golden shades and a
deeper tone of Ice blue will bright
en the winter tones. Sports clothes
| will be in riotous colors. Here will
be found bright greens, bright
Scarlet and a colorful brown, and
[ firmly. Cover with waxed paper
; and press cover of mold tightly
over paper. Unless you are ab
[ solutely sure that your cover
makes a tight seal dip a strip of
cloth about 1 1-2 Inches wide in
melted fat (hot - oil) and bind
; uround the cover where It fits
down over the mold. Pack in four
parts Ice to one part Ice cream
salt and let stand one hour or
longer. To unmold wrap a hot
towel wrung out In hot water
around mold and Invert . on a
chilled serving platter.
Tomato Mince Meat II
Four pounds green tomatoes, 4
pound* sugar, 2 pounds raisins, 4
lemons, 2 tablespoons cinnamon.
2 tablespoons cloves, 1 tablespoon
salt.
Wash and slice tomatoes. Sprin

hours. Drain over night and dis
card juice as in preceedlng recipe.
Weigh tomatoes after draining.
Put eugar, thinly sliced lemons
and a little water Into preserving
kettle and cook until tomatoes are
tender. Add raisins and spices
and cook ten minutes longer. Seal
in sterilized Jars.
It seefns sports clothes will em
brace a tricolor theme.
Weather changes are approach
ing and every woman should havs
a woolen dress in one ot the new
autumn shades, with a matching
felt hat. This Is the time when
feathers will give way to furs, and
fox scarves promise to. be as chic
as ever this season. The double
scarves, worn high at the throat
and hanging down the shoulders
at the back, are good, as are those
which cross back and front and
tie in a loose knot over one
shoulder.
A nice note of contrast to the
fall costume can be found In aces
sorles. For street wear, matching
gloves, purse and belt will be
smart.
