ywL£elk/Uc(o So-Called Children's Diseases Youngsters Don't \ lave to Have These Illnesses Peculiar to Little Ones â€" Unfortunately Too Many Parents Have This Erroneous Belief Good constitutions are the best bot »«ainst disease. It is the old atory of prevention being better* than cure. But building up bodies Is not all there is to prevention. It often comca down 10 actual cases and then the mother must act quickly and positive- ly. Namely, keeping a child away from sick or "getting sick" children •nd koepinK them away from him. In winter It Is comparatively simple to keep little neighbors apart, hut In •nmmer I. is next to Impossible. Child- ren iioed companions to play with from the time they ^Can walk. But these play groups do have their haa- irds Safer In Open Air Oih; tliild taking wbuopiiig coii^li, measles or any of the contagious dis- eases can give it to tho whole neigh- borhood. In the open air there is more chance of tlie children escaping con- tagion than It they wero together in % clone room, but open air does not »lway.s mean Immunity. Little child- ren have a habit of handling each other's toys and then putting their haiuis to their mouths, or noses. They take bites off mutual apples and pass •round lollypops like loving cups fur each to take a lick. It is not uecoKsary to dwell ou the dllference between contagion and in- fection. One certain thing, however, ean easily bo remembered. Never l':t your child ,';et a sick child's breath, â- ever lot him touch him, and never al- low him to handle niiytliing bandied Vy the other child â€" eat off his dishes, Irlnk out of his cup, put his toys in kls mouth, or use his liandkercbicf. "Coldt" Often Serious lu Btill simpler words, do not let him go near tho other child at all. Kven if ho only appears to have a common cold. Because' The mo.it serious dis- eases start liko common colds. When a child is taking scarle' fever, for in- stance, it looks at nrst liko a simple case of sniffles, except that the throat is red and sore. Measles be^ln this way too. It is usually diliicult to distinguish one from the othe; at the beginning. Those with oxperienco will know whooping cough in a second, but many young mothers would not recognize it. Therefore be safe. Watch the child wlio coughs. Keep hl..i away from your bouse and kr-ep your child away from him. Sicltness No "Necessity" Children do not "have" to take so- called children's diseases. Wo are trying to stamp them out altogether. Don't be foolish and expose a child Just because you feel ho must get them and it may as well bo now. A little child under two must not get any one of them! And no child over two should get them either. The younger they are tho worse for them. It you are suspicious that ono of the children has moro than a common cold, get the doctor at once. You should have a clinical thermometer. If temperature goes up over 99 de- grees call hlra anyway. So you won't worry too much, very young babies of- ten havo a natural temperature over normal (99 3-3 degrees). Such a tem- perature does not necessarily mean sickneBS. Study Effect Of Movies American Teachers Report on Research During Past Year Detroit. â€" How educ;itor>' have turt.- •d neighborhood movie theatres into laboratories to learn the motion pic- ture linbits of boy.s and girls was re- vealed recently at the twenty-thirti annual meeting of the National Coun- cil of Teachers of English. It was declared that nation-wide te.sts con- duct*.d during the last year indicate that llie ri.--ing generatiou of thcatre- focrs will eventually elevate the stan dard.s of the entire film iiidu.stry. Results of jihoti^play a])preoi!iti'in experiment."? were prescnud by Mr. William Iy«'Win of Weequahic IIii;h School, Newark, N.J. He declared that J'pupils unled guidance show 8'> per cent, superiority in reporting ex- amples of films that have influenced .their behavior, the chief influeniv be- ing in the direction of higher ideals." He added that "if our niillons of high richool ntudcnts can be taught â- tandards for judging motion pictures, it is likely that a movement to make boy.s and girl.s intelligently critical of eorrent photoplays would succeed in raising tho level of ta-'te anions tro- tign picturegiK-rs.

IN'.STAl.MENT TWENTY-SIX. "But my dear young lady," said Mr. Kirkwcxxl, "what can you pos- sibly expe<-t to find at Hazelmoor. All Captain Trevelyan's effects have bevn removed. The iwlice have made a thorough .search of the house. I (piite understand your position and ycur iuixitty that Mr. Pearson shall be â€" «r - cleareti if possible. But what can y..u do?" "1 don't e.xpect to find anything," Family replied, "or to" notice anything that the police have overlooked. I can't explain to you, Mr. KirkwDod, 1 want â€" I want to get the atmosiiherc of the place. Plea.sc let me have the key. There'.s no harm in it." "Certainly there's no harm in it," said the .solicitor with dignity. "Then, please be kind," .said Em- ily. So Mr. Kirkwood wa.s kind and handed over the key with an indu'g- ent .s-niile. He did his best to come with her, which cata.stroi)he wius only averted by great tact and firmness on Emily's part. That morning Emily had received a letter. It was couched in t.he fol- lowing terms: "Dear Miss Trefusis." â€" wrote Mrs. Belling of the Three Crowns, "You s»iid as how you would like to hear if anything at all should happen that was in any way out of the comn<on even if not important, and, as this is peculiar, though not in any way iMa- portant, I thought it my duty, Miss, to let you iinow at once, hoping this will catch you by the last post to- night or by the first post to-morrow. My niece she come round and said it wasn't of any inifiortancc but peculiar which I agreed with her. The police said, and it was generally thought that nothing was taken from Captain Trevelyan's house and nothing was in !i manner of speaking nothing that is of any value, but something there is H»is,sing though not noticed at tie time being important. But it seems Miss that a pair of the Captain's boots is missing which Kvans noticed when he went over the thing? with Major Buinaby. Though 1 don't sui) I><>se it is of any importance Mi.=:s I thought you would like tn know. It was a pair of boot.-i Miss the thick kind you rubs oil into and which the Captain would have worn if he had gone out in the snow but as he didn t go out in the snow it dcwsn't seem to make sen.tse. But missing they are and who took them iiol><)dy knows aud though 1 well know it's of no inipoit- ance 1 felt it my duty to write and hoping this finds you as it leaves me at present and hoping you are n<»i worrying to) much about the young gentleman I remain Mis.s Yo\ir.s truly â€"Mrs. J. Belling. Kinily ha 1 read and lercail this lettx-r. She had discussed it with Charle.<!. "Boots," said Charles thoughtfully. "It doesn't .seem to make sense." "It niu.st mean something," Emily I)ointed out. "1 mean â€" why should n pair (pf boot.s be missing?" "Vou Qon't think Evans is inveiit- ing?" "Why should he'.' Aiul after all it IK'ople do invent, they invent some- thintr .sentiblv. Not a silly point!', ss tbinK like this." "Boots sugge.st.s .<onielhiiiK to do with footprints," said Charles ibought- fully. "I know. Bui footprints don't se<-m t.-> enlei into lhi.'< ca.se at nil. Perhaps if it hadn't come on to snow again â€" " "Yes, perhaps, but even then." "Could h>' have given them to some tramp," suggested Charles, "and tin i\ the tramp did him in." "I supvHiiC that'.s possible," .--aid Emily, "but it doesn't sound ve'y hko Captain Tvcvelyan. He might per- haps have found a man some work to do or Riven hiiu a shilling, but ho wonldn't h:ivr prwsed his beM. winrer biKts on him." "Well, 1 give it up," said Charlo."- "I'm not ^^ling to give it up," faivl Emily. ''Bv hook or by crooU I m going to get to the hot loin of i'." Acoordiir.;ly she came to K\hamp ton and went first to the T'li ce Crnwnii where Mrs. Belling recei -ed hw vlth great enthuain«iiv.. ".\nil your .\onng Kcnlknian sill, in prison, miss! Well, it's n crnel sha'M- I nnd none of u- tton't beiii ve it w«i.: 1 him, at least 1 w.mld like to heor them siiy so when 1 am about. So y.-«i got my letter? You'd like to .e Evans? Well, he lives right roind the cornel-. ><•> I'ore .Street it is. I 1 wlab I couM c<'»i« with you, hjt I can't leave the jdace, but you can't mistake it." Emily did not luistake it. Evans himself was out, but Mrs. Evans le- ceiver her r.nd invited her in. Emily sat dov»7i and induced Mrs. Avans to do so also end plunged iitmight inte the matter or. hand. "I've come to talk about what yoi;r husband told Mrs. Belling, I jnean about a pair of Captain Tie\ elyaii's boots being missing." "It's an o<ld thing, to )ye sure," tmiii the girl. "Your liuEl>and in quite certain about it?" "Oh, yes. Wore these boots most of the time in winter,' the Captain did. Big ones they were, and he wore a couple of pairs of socks inside them." Emily nodded. "They can't have gone to be mend- ed or anything like that?" she sug- gested. "Not without Evans knowing, they couldn't," said his wife boastfully. "No, I suppose not." "It's queer like," said Mrs. Evan<, "but I don't suppose it had anythi.ig to do with the murder, do you, Miss?" "It (loe.sn't seem likely," agreed Emily. "Have they found out anything new, miss?" The girl's voice was eager. "Yes, one \>r two things â€" nothing very imiwrtant." "Seeing as that the in.spcctor from Exeter was here again to-day, I thought as though they might." "Inspector Narracott?" "Yes, that's the one, miss." "Did he ccme by my train?" "No, he came by car. He went to the Three Crowns first and asked about the young gentleman's lug- gage." "What young gentleman's lug- gage?" "The gentleman you go aobuf with, miss." Emily stared. "They asked Tom." went on the girl. "I was passing by just after and he told me about it. He's a one for noticing is Tom. He remembered there were two labels on the your.g gentleman's luggage, one to Exeter and one to Exhampton." A sudden smile illuminated Emily's face as she pictured the crime being committed by Charles in order to pro- vide a scoop for himself. One could, .she decided, write a gruesome little story on that theme. But she .tdmir- e<l Inspector Narracott's thoroughness in checking evei-y detail having to do with .anyone, however remote their connection with the crime. He must havo left Exeter almost immediately after his interview with her. A fast car would easily beat the train tind in nny case she had lunched in Exeter. "Where did the inspector go after- wards?" she a.ske<l. "To Sittaford, miss. Tom heai'.l him toll the driver." "To .Sittaford House?" Brian Pear.son was, she know, s ill staving at Sittaford House with th-; Wiiletls. "No, miss, to Mr. Duke's." Duke again. Emily I'elt irritated and baffled. Always Dukeâ€" the un- known factor . Sse ought, she felt, to be able to deduce him from the evi- dence but ho seemed to have produced th* same effect on everyoneâ€" a nor- mal, ordinary, pleasant man. "I've got to sec him," .said Emily t" herrelf. "I'll go straight there as .soon as I get back to Si(tafor<l." Then she had tb*.nked Mrs. Kacs, gone on to Mr Uirkwood's and ob taint<i the key and was now stnndinir ;n the hall of llazelmoor and woiidiv- ing how and what she had expected t) feel there. She mount«l the stairs slowly and went into the first rcxmi at the top oi the stairs. This was quite clearly Captain Trevelyan's bedroom. It had, as Mr. Kirkwood had said, b<>»'n emp- tied of perstnial effcx'ts. Blankois were folded in a neat pile, tho draw- ers were empty there was not so much as a hanger left in the cup- bnard. The bitot cupboard showed a row of bare shelves. Emily sigh«l and then turned irel went downstairs. Here was the sit- ting-room Vv-here the dead man had lain, the .snow blowing in from the open window. She tried to visualize the s(enc. Who.so hand had struck Captain Th<^- velyan down, aiul why? Hail he Invr killed ut fwo and twenty past five as everyone believedâ€" or had .lini really loKt hi.H nerve al.d lie<l? Had he fail- ed to make anyone hear at the fr.>nl door and gone round to the windo'.-, lookeil in ar.d .seen his dead uncle's body and da»hed away in an agony of fear? If only sIm' know. According li> Mr. Pacres, .lim stuck to his siory. Ye.s but .Mm might have loKt "li* nerve. She couldn't tie sure. Had there been, as Mr. Uyeiol't had suggested .someone cl.«c in the house-- .-oineone who had overheat d the quarrel and seized his chance? If so,- did that throw i<ny ".i>;ht ''i. the b(K>t problem?

She noticed, however, that the prize of three new novels, an acjouat of which Charles had had from Evai.s and had reported with amusing em- bellishments to her, had been forgotten and lay dejectedly on a chair.

English Fashion Women Are Wearing Red Eed is always a cosy color for win- ter wear, but this year It seema to be particularly in favor across the water, judging by the largo number of amart women who had chosen it for their wraps at the first nlglit of "Gay Divorce" at the Palace theatre, says a woman writing lo the Loudon Daily Telegraph. Lady Juliet Duff likae a red vel- vet evening coat, and many of the women round her wore the same warm hue. Among them were the Hon. Mrs. Evelyn Fitigerald, Who had no fur round tho neck of her coat, but there were wide cuffs of silver fos. Miss Diana Chamberlain wore a rose red wrap, with a deep collar of white fur, and Countess Paul Muuster a coat of wine red. with no fur at all. Lady Anne Hunloke wore what was ouo of the most original frocks In tho audience, as the bodice was of strips of pale pink georgette, striped with black horizontally, the strips falling on to the arras, where they revealed a blue lining. Lady Rav- endale's black cire gown had an enormous collar, rather like a soft bolster hanging round her neck on tho bare back, and falling in rope- like ends to the waist In front. The new dark mulberry shade of satin was worn by Claire Luce, EVed Astairo's leading lady. Tho dress is sUeath-Iiko in cut, and while high to the neck In front, is backless. There is a little coatee of matching coque feathers and a muff handbag of tho same plumage. Leopard trims a day ensemble worn by the samo actress. Over a yellow crepe frock Jllas Luce wears a tliree-quarter length white tweed with leopard skin cuffs. There is more leopard .on the white beret and the handbag. Cambridge Assists Students Cambridge, Eng.â€" Cambridge Uni- versity has formulated a plan for giving monetary help to indigent st'.i- dcnts. It has l>een found pivssible to take this step owing to tho improve- ment in the financial situation during the past year. The government's annua! grant h.is not been re<luced, as seemed at one lime likely, while the fall n the uni- versity's income has been less than was expected. A sur|ftus of income over expcn.lilure is therefore avail- able.

Newspapers On Films A New Device is Designed to Save Space in Libraries Lord Bryce once wrote that if the ancient Greeks and Egyptians had relied on the printed word for record- ing historic events we would know little of their civilization. Stone en- dures, papsr crumbles. On the other hand, it would take a square railo cf carved stone obelisks to tell us as much about ancient Egypt as we find in a single printed volume. Despite their compactness, printed books accumulate so rapidly that .>uv libraries must of necessity become imposing structures. Hence the in ventions which have been discussed in the last twenty-five years for saving space. The latest of these was an- nounced last week in Chicago before the Special Libraries Association by Charles Z. Case of the Eastman Ko- dak Company. The main feature of the Eastmar method is, cf course, a camera. Lilie other cameras designed for the same purpose, it can photograph more than eight full-size newspaper pages on a . strip of film 1% inches by 12 inches a d a month of fifty-page papers on a single reel less than 4 inches in dia- meter. The film thus prepared i, to be read in newspaper offices or public librar- ies on a simple viewing device by which the tiny jiage images are en- larged to half again the size of th» original newspaper. Articles fror.i the files may either be read from th< viewing device or copied full size or photographic paper. In addition to saving space, the lilix partly overcomes the difficulty pre- sented by the deterioration of th« ground wood-pulp on which riosi newspapers are printed.' Film it chemically more stable than news- print, but it cracks and ci unibles un- less kept in a humidor.
