lad Sr > SR Cnadlas Sn Amethysts For Sobriety .- Febiancy Birth Stone Sup: posed to Be The Drinker's Friend The amethyst, birthstone for February, derives its name from a Greek word which means "not drunken." That may be one reason, the magazine Natural History sug- gests, for its reputation as the drinker's friend. Legend-has it, an article in the magazine says, that amethysts possess the power to ward off in- toxication, no matter how much their possessor drinks. LEGENDS SURROUND IT Dr. Frederick Pough of the 'American Museum of Natural History says legends of the stone's special virtue 'may have avisen from the fact' that it is wine- colored, Another possible explanation, he says, may be that the ancients carved goblets from amethysts, Water poured into such cups would look like wine but wouldn't make the drinker intoxicated, In addition to being the drink- er's friend the amethyst guards against illness, evil thoughts and harm in general, according to le gend, and' quickens the intelli gence, makes men shrewd in business. keeps soldiers from harm in battle and helps warriors conquer their enemies, Moreover, Dr. Pough says, "it is lovely," The End of The Ride A At the end of the trail beautiful Vir gina Bruce leads her mount to the stables and an extra helping of hay. Don't Take Candy From Your Baby Doctor Says ' Craving For Sweets Proper Physiological Yearning Taking _candy from a baby in most cases is the wrong thing ~ to do according to experiments of child-psychologist Dr. Weston A. Bousfield of University of Connecticut. When children are upset-emo- tionally and ask for candy or sweets they are simply following a proper physiological yearning. Dr. Bousfield conducted ex- periments for more .than a year with white rats, based on the re- céntly proved facts that young children and young animals are alike in craving the kind of foods they need most at the time, "IN MOST CASES 'He kept charts of dietary re- actions of rats to emotional up- sets. His purpose was to ascer- tain if rats in this condition would * choose more sweets than usual, He kept them in solitary confinement and found that they became nervous and irritable. Dr. Bousfield also noted that when the rats were put together again they would fight. He ob- served that their sugar consump- tion noticeably increased during this period. DANGER @ SERIAL STORY ROMANCE AHEAD BY TOM HORNER COPYRI NEA SER Texline. CAST OF CHARACTERS MONNIE MILES--her mania for fast driving almost wrecked her romance. LARRY COLLINS -- newspaper reporter, hunting the murderers of his brother. MIKE BENTLEY -- wealthy rancher, knew too much about auto accldents. * . LAST WEEK: Larry questions Monnie about her car, learns she was home all night, Later he finds tracks that indicate two men stole her coupe. He tells Barnes he has seen truck tracks, fears rustlers. Barnes puts him on night herd. Larry waits for the mystery plane to return. One night, as he watch. es from a hill, he hears someone coming up behind him. He gets his gun, waits for the intruder. Ife knew he could trust her. He had to trust her now. He told her the entire story, 'beginning with' Hugh's search for narcotics smug- glers, ending with his own wit. nessing of what he believed a de livery of a narcotics shipment. Monnie listened in silence. "So you see, darling," Larry con- cluded, "I've got to have proof. I'm staying out here at night, hop- "ing that plane will come again, Then maybe we'll find out just who is running this 1tng, discover. who killed Hugh." 3 "But, Lavry"--sfic clung to him they might kill you, too. Why don't you forget all about this? We can go back east--you can go back to your newspaper job." ! He shook his head. "No, Mon- * nie. I've started this, and I'm going to finish it. Someone killed Hugh. 1 don't know whe, or how it was done, I'm going to {ind out." A Distributing Point "And Mike--do you think he's mixed up in it?" "rm not sure. 1 think fo. He has some unknown source of iuon- ey~ He doesn't sell many cattle, only a'few of the horsés he raises. He makes too many trips by plane.

They're brought in from the south- west, then shipped on to northern and eastern cities. The ring is un- \doubtedly part of a nation-wide out- fit. Colonel Harris, chlef of the highway patrol, assigned Hugh the . job of hunting the gang down, after federal authorities suggested the highway patrol take a hand. Nar- cotic hunts aren't usually included in the highway patrol's work. No one would suspect a patrolman was ° looking for dope smugglers. "And it he found them, there are always several other patrol officers in this area whom he could call on for help, "This search has been going on tor months. 'Harris gave me the chance to go on with Hugh's. work. 4 REE AO TeTuRES | There may be other officers in this "area, posing as tramps, farmers, or even working with the gang, all trying to get the evidence that will convie the leader of the narcotics - smugglers. I can't quit now, Mon nie--not even for you." "I understang, Larry. I'll wait, But you will be careful." He laughed, kissed her lightly. "Ot course I'll be careful.. Any- way, Bentley--if he is head of the ring--doesn't suspect me. He couldn't have learned Hugh's . name, He thinks I'm just a dumb cowhand, and if I.get caught up around his place I can always say I'm hunting a stray. Being this close to him gives me a chance to watch what he does. "But 1 can't figure out why he went to the trouble of stealing your car. Have you any idea why he'd do that?" likes to drive it, though. He asked to borrow it several times. But that's one thing I never lgnd. I always make him use the vanch car. lle wanted to use it that Sat. urday night, too. When I refused, he said he'd send someone over for the ranch ear. But no one came." "They'll Kill Youl" .. The drone of a motor came from "the west, Larry was instantly alert. "Here comes the plane now ... with another shipment. I'll have to hurry." He jumped up, ran to catch her horse and his own, "I'm going to have a closer look this time. Be back by dawn." She held him tight as he kissed her. "You go on back to the house now. Keep track of Bentley where he goes, what he does. Don't let hini know about--about us. Don't let anyone know yet. Goodby, dar ling." He tried to push free from her arms, but she held him. "Larry--they'll kill you, just like they did Hugh!™ "Monnie--let me go. I'll miss the plane!" "No! No! If you love me, don't go!" He pushed her away, roughly, "See you later," hd called as he mounted the black, plunged down the hill, She watched him go, tears streaming down her face. As she turned to mount, the geam of metal caught her eye. The carbine! . She picked it up, ran to the edge of the hilltop. Larry was already pounding up the canyon, She could never catch him, . Sfie caught up the reins, walked slowly down 'the hill toward the ranch. (To Be Continued) brill ete To Freshen Up A Winter Dress There Are Many Tricks To The Trade--S8ailor.

Fingernails Need Moisture Shouldn't Be Sealed ' Away Or They Will Get Brittle Ta break or not fo break is the problem, with those long ta- pering nails we're all wearing nowaddys. Everyone has a dif- ferent theory about what makes nails brittle. Dry climate, diet, dishwashing, typing -- all have their supporters. And of course the longer we wear our nails, the more trouble we have with break- age. That's onc reason we hear more groans of, "Heavens, there goes another nail! than we used to when nail fashions hadn't gone to the lengths they have today. NAILS NEED A REST? Opinions about nail polish vary. Some people 'let their .nails "rest" for a few days, on the theory that polish is hard on them. Others believe that polish actually helps to preserve the nails by diving them added sup- port and helping them to resist wear and tear, Nails that split cr break off in layers frequently have been de- prived of ghe moisture they re- quire to keep them flexible. Nails need contact with the air to get this moisture. They must not be smothered by a polish that pre- vents the exchange of moisture between nails and air.

CHAMBERS Between - Season Recipes One of the things confronting the homemaker at this season of the year is the empty shelves in the fruit cupboards -- and many empty jars, One naturally turns to marmalade as a method of solv. ing this problem, 1 have been asked to repeat my grapefruit, orange and lemon recipe and feel that this is the place to do it. : 2 Grapefruit, Orange and Lemon The first thing of importance is the choosing of the fruit, Do not think that fruit, which you have had in the house for some- time, (unless kept with the great-. est care) or fruit you do not think just right for table use will be fine for marmalade. If you are to have success with your marmalade venture it -must be made from the very best' selec- tion of fruit. That is one rea- s6n why I have stated I prefer making this marmalade at Christ. mas: time, for the stores then seem to offer a better selection of fruit. . 3 orange 3 lemons 3 grapefruit Extract -juice from fruit; pare all white membrane from peels of fruit.

Allow this-tauremain over- night. The next morning bring to boiling point and boil hard for twenty minutes. Remove from heat and place again in. earthen- ware container and leave until he following day. Before plac- ing. on heat, measure; and for each cupful of juice and peel, measure one cup of sugar, Place the sugar where it will keep warm;- "place liquid: mixture on heat and allow to come to boil.

Match A Costume Rouge -and Lipstick Should Be Selected Carefully, For Vivid Contrast Lips and cheeks are tinted in bright red shades this winter to harmonize with the new fashion * colors and to make a vivid con. trast to the light pastel ensemble being shown, Complexions should be smooth and clear as a water lily and soft in texture as a flow- er petal. - Coiffeurs are high, sculptured yet definitely indi. vidualized to flatter the facial © contour, HARMONIZING SHADES . For the fashionable brown and brown-red costume shades, a rich varm shade.of lipstick is recom- mended, which contains under tones of brown and russet. A pure bright red is prescribed for the high fashion blues; a sporting pink for greens and'black; rasp- berry for wines, greys and ultra smart taupes; red velvet for pur- ples and beiges; and life red for brilliant hues now so noticeable on ski trails. "Weaker Sex" Said Stronger Do men live longer than wo- men? Dr. Arthur B, Elliott, of Chicago, says no. Scotching the old-age theory about the "survive al of the sexes," Dr. Elliott told members of the Michigan State Medical Society at a convention that women are less emotion. ally intense than men and conse- quently have a better chance of survival. "Women live longer and a high- er precenage die of causes not connected with their blood pres- sure," said Dr, Elliott.
