socalled childrens diseases youngsters dont have to have these illnesses peculiarvto little ones unfortunately too many parents have this erroneous belief colds often serious good constitutions are the bet bet against disease it is the old story of prevention being better than euro uat building up bodies is not all there is to prevention it often comes down to actual cases and then the mother must act quickly and positive ly namely keeping a child away from sick o gettingsiek children tad keeping them away from him in winter it is comparatively simple o keep little neighbors apart but in iumiftar i is next to impossible child ren need companions to play with from the time they can walk but these play groups do have their haz ards safer in open air one child taking whooping cough measles or any of the contagious dis eases can give it to the whole neigh borhood in the open air there is more chance of the children escaping con tagion than it they were together in a close room but open air does not always mean immunity little child ren have a habit of handling each others toys and then putting their hands to their mouths or noses they take bites oft mutual apples and pass around lollypops like loving cups for each to take a lick it is not necessary to dwell on the difference between contagion and in fection one certain thing however can easily be remembered never let your child get a sick childs breath never let him touch him and never al low him to handle anything handled by the other child eat off his dishes drink out of his cup put his toys in his mouth or use his handkerchief in still simpler words do not let him go near the other child at all even if he only appears to have a common cold because the most serious dis eases start like common colds when a child is taking scarle fever for in stance it looks at lirst like a simple case of sniffles except that the throat is red and sore measles begin this way too it is usually difficult to distinguish one from the other at the beginning those with experience will know- whooping cough in a second but many young mothers would not recognize it therefore be safe watch the child who coughs keep hiu away from your house and keep your child away from him sickness no necessity children do not have to take so- called childrens diseases wo are trying to stamp them out altogether dont be foolish and expose a child just because you feel he must get them and it may as well be 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 the worse for them it you are suspicious that one of the children has more than a common cold get the doctor at once you should have a clinical thermometer if temperature goes up over 99 de grees call him anyway so you wont worry too much very young babies of ten have a natural temperature over normal 99 35 degrees such a tem perature does not necessarily mean sickness study effect of movies american teachers report on research during past year detroit how educators have tunt- rd neighborhood movie theatres into laboratories to learn the motion pic ture habits of boys and girls was re vealed recently at the twentythird annual meeting of the national coun cil of teachers of english it was declared that nationwide tests con ducted during the last year indicate that the rising generation of theatre- goers will eventually elevate the stan dards cf the entire film industry results of photoplay appreciation experiments were presented by mr william lewin of wecquahic high school newark nj he declared that pupils unlcd guidance show 8f per cent superiority in reporting ex amples of films that have influenced their behavior the chief influence be ing in the direction of higher ideals he added that if our millons of high school students can be taught standards for judging motion pictures it is likely that a movement to make boys and girls intelligently critical of current photoplays would succeed in raising the level of taste among mo tion picturegoers mr lowins report created such a profound impression that it was dis cussed wherever groups of the 1000 educators gathered it was recom mended at the general session re cently 1 that units of instruction be in troduced into the nations schools with a view to improving by mass education popular standards of taste and judgment in relation to motion pictures 2 that a committee of english teachers regularly preview selected current photoplays with a view to suggesting which productions are worthy of consideration in the class room 3 that courses in methods of teaching photoplay appreciation be included in the curricula of schools of education 1 that further experimentation be arranged with a view to formulating children

history of old county families chapter xi contd but if jill thcught she had appeaseu mark by the gracious use of his chris tian name the was mistaken mark had seen too much on the previous evening for that his temporary ela tion subsided as soon as he had left her and his mind had turned again to phillip barbour on the following day jill asked him to attend the cattle market in den- bridge a nearby market town he was surprised at the request for den- bridge was he auction which jill best liked attending she had numerous friends among the farmers there and enjoyed the jovial banter to which they always treated her she pleaded a headache to mark but although he could not bring him self to think her capable of subter fuge he did not feel happy about the occasion his fears were not illgrounded jill had found herself unable to risk missing phillip when he paid his sec ond visit to inspect the coatofarms her reason was partly the novelty of a caller such as barbour and partly something which she did not care to analyze at the back of her mind she was angry with herself and would have been angrier still had she thought that her heart was governing her on such an occasion it was with many misgivings that a little later she bade mark goodbye as he drove away in the wellworn general purposes car which probably relished a run on the open road after the rough lanes and fields which were its customary places of activity the auction at denbridge was as picturesque as any to be found one entering it through the great coach ing archway of the kings arms ho tel a halftimbered hostelry in the main street one found oneself in a wide cobbled space divided by iron rails into a number of square rec tangular pens in each of which were lots of various animals awaiting the time when the burly auctioneer in his grey bowler hat should ask for bids mr hilshore was a character at the auction and his jokes made many a rustic side ache with laughter mean- while farmers and butchers prodded the sides of the animals with their sticks the butchers knowing almost to a pound the equivalent in beef pork and mutton of the cows pigs and sheep mark first entered the cosy bar of the hotel where on his visits to den bridge he was sure of finding a few- friends on this day he was not dis appointed though it would have been better for his peace of mind had he not come in for the greeting accorded him was tinctured with halfexpressed laughter they tell me youve got a rival master mark quipped an old farmer near the fire mark looked puzzled rival what do you mean he asked though a sudden suspicion of the truth had flashed into his mind tell him joe said the old farmer to another well its like this mark said the other theres been a fine good- looking fellow in denbridge and hes been asking the missus here quite a lot of questions about that young wo man of yours at stone town really exclaimed mark with feigned nonchalance well i wish him luck mark was acustomed to being chaff- ed about jill and in truth rather liked it for jill was remarkably popu lar among the farmers and he took a mild pride of proprietorship in her when she was mentioned in his pres ence though not on this occasion what sort of questions oh about miss merridew and the farm and who was looking after poor old jaspers affairs in a lawyer kind of way better watch your step young man for he was an uncommon good- looker stayed here a night or two so they tell me is he staying here now asked mark thinking that too much indiffer ence might cause suspicion the an swer he received was negative no they say he went this morning praps hes gone over to stone town he he mark affected amusement and pres ently left the company to join the others in the auction the farmer had told the truth in deed a little more than he imagined for at that moment phillip barbour was actually on his way to stone town barbour would probably have been annoyed had he overheard the conversation for he had asked his questions of the landlady in a confi dential manner but although he know a great deal he understood very little about the virility of country curiosity he as quite unaware that by asking a few questions about jill he had made himself the subject of much speculation in the hotel mark had much to divert his mind from barbour during the next few nours and it was not until the end of the auction that he became again the victim ot gloomy foreboding meanwhile phillip barbour had paid his promised visit to jill he found her helping with the cidermaking where she made an attractive picture as she moved among the mere sombre ly clad workers her claretcoiored shirt was the only splash of color on this grey november day she ceaseil work when he entered the farmyard and went to meet him holding out a hand which was damp and fragrant with apple juice excuse my hand she said laugh ingly but its only applejuice and the best at that william pips tom putts and a few others those are the names of apples 1 suppose said barbour as they enter- e- the house at her suggestion what a romantic life you lead to be sure after they had chatted before the pinelog fire and jill had offered him the usual hospitality of the country side in the form of a glass of home made wine cowslip on this occasion she took him up to the room which her father had used as a kind of study for old jaser merridew had spent a great deal of time in reading and writing behind the old oak door which barbour was now admiring presently she produced the piece of leather bearing the coatofarms and gave it to him to examine most interesting he said i have seen many but never one like this whereupon he reeled out a number of technical details concerning it then he added but i am boring you with technicalities kindly allow me to take a few notes of it and then i will let you know all about it i hope you will permit ire to call again jill could not refuse even had she wished further she was rather re lieved that he had not again brought up the subject of her fathers papers of course she said and now perhaps you would like to look round my farm barbour expressed delight at the idea and soon the pair were wander ing around one of the bestkept farms in the country there were many winks and nods among the workers in the farmyard and old george foi- got to stamp his cold feet as he watch ed the coupie until they were out of sight dear me dear me he said to those around him what a thing it would be if i had to help to draw them from the church to stone town like i did her father when he was wed hold your noise you mischievous old devil said one of the men and soon the cider work had begun again meanwhile phillip was telling jill that he was going back to london within an hour or so and that one of the first things he would do would be to visit the college of heralds on her behalf but in this mr barbour was not telling the truth for the first thing he did when he reached london was to go to a dingy little restaurant in the foreign quarter of soho where passing through to u private room at the back he was greeted by two dis tinctly foreignlooking me who were evidently expecting him chapter iii denstis cafe in soho at which phillip barbour arrived on his return from jills country was indistinguish able from others of its kind in that eccentric locality it had a ridicu lously short frontage and judging from a- framed card by the door a ridiculously long menu there were or at least so one guessed two similar soups and ten different entres the element of doubt lay in the transitory quality of the ink in which these pleasures of within were announced to those without it was kept by one named denslan- duros who apart from his ingratiat ing manner was not at all a bad fel low densti both he and his cafe were victims of that abbreviation knew as he put it exactly where to step on he did well in his cafe but he did almost better in his little back room where the gentlemen such nice gentlemen yes used to meet and talk about thir business they bought much wine and many of his cigars and sometimes when their business was good and their hearts were warm they would give him one two or three pounds for himself what was their business how did it matter it was not his affair he greeted barbour on his arrival ha mr barbour he cried with glee you are back again you will i find your friends in the back m mcri tens m barhold and mr dogsbody as you call him they already have the wine and arc waiting for you i barbour gave him a friendly pat on youre right quality does count in the tools jou buy and in the tobacco you use thats why you are wise to chew cluh the plug with the rich long lasting flavour british women turn to mechanics the shoulder and passed through the cafe to the room behind where the three men sitting there rose to greet him you evidently got my telegram all right he said as he shook hands with them individually or old dogsbody

if a certain amount of prejudice has still to be oveicome at a recent conference here of th womens engineering society there are women nowadays they pointed out in the shops of big en gineering firms in drawing offices in amost all branches of aviation in managerial posts in research woik there is even one firm of engineer atalanta of london which is managed and run by women entirely but it still takes a bit of deter mination to capture the work of an engineer said one of the live miss e j muntz who is now in posses sion both of a ground engineers and a commercial pilots license and has five years practical air plane experience behind her she told of how in order to maka a start she and her sister found it necessary to gatecrash into de havillauds airplane factory and then be content to work as fabric hands and afterwards as hand in the engine shop where they only stamp ed numbers on different comnon- ents before they eveneutlly reach ed something more adventuous she told too of how when she wrote a book on commercial flying she was informed by her publisher that no such work would be acceptable it written by a woman and so had to give way and make reluctant use of a male pseudonym but such expedients are only of a temporary character it was contend ed at the conference it is a signi ficant fact said hiss caroline has- lott honorary secretary of the society that during this period of world industrial depression women in the engineering world having made good in the work they have taken up hav maintained their posi tion solely on the grounds of their merit and the
