Activities must be followed by rest. A certain amount of exer- cise in the fresh air is essential, not only for air-conditioning the lungs and tightening muscles, but to pro- mote cheerfulness and courage. TIPS FOR TEENS:- Why Some Girls' Dates Fall Off By ELINOR WILLIAMS If you've wondered why some girls don't have dates--or as many dates as they'd like--here's on ereason, explained in a letter from a college + sophomore in the late teens. . "1 will come directly to the point," : he writes. I am one. of the male . sex, going on 19. I have just com- * pleted my first year at college. I ' have been going with a girl two years younger than I for about three months. Every time I see her, I have to take her out. The money situation isn't too good, I think if I could possibly say the right thing to her we could have a house date or go for a walk, etc. Could you help me? "I like this girl a great deal. I do not go out with other girls. Could you help me Ans--It isn't fair for any girl to expect a high school or college stu- ent to take her places every time ~. OF INTEREST they have a date--it's just too ex- pensive, If she really liked you, she'd suggest a house date or walk regularly and would think it was to make sandwiches for a picnic. Suggest a walk, ask if you could come to see her at her home or ex-' plain the situation frankly, pointing out that it seems silly to give up dating when the funds are low . . . when it would be more fun to get together for a walk or a house date than not date at all. By her reply, you can tell whether she likes you + + « Or just likes dates. .

Then cover the lids with cotton pads saturated with good-quality witch hazel, * FROM early spring until the leaves begin to fall a supplicant for good looks must guard against eye strain by wearing dark glasses. Soul orbs undergo discomfort when subjected to glare, especially when sunlight is reflected on water. The motorist must pay heed to this matter, When your eyes play out you can't buy new ones; you'll have to put on specs. Be gentle when bathing your eyes, using warm water, then cold. Never dig them with your knuckles; they don't like to be treated rough. Wash -themwith a boric acid solu- tion. Then saturate cotton pads with good-quality witch hazel and place the pads on your eyes for a few minutes. Don't rely on home treatment if there are signs of inflammation, red lids or pus deposits. That is when you must hie yourself to your doctor's office, receive professional attention. Inflamed lids may cause your lashes to moult. You won't like that a little bit. Styes may so in- LJ LJ jure the papillae from which the shafts emerge that the growth will become depleted. Long, curly eye- lashes are a wonderful beauty de- tail of the pulchritude picture, so hang onto them. Touching the roots with mineral oil seems to make them strong and healthy, and imparts a pleasing lustre. EXPRESSION COUNTS While color and shape contribute to the beauty of the soul windows, expression is what really makes them lovely. Natural animation puts on the sparkle. When you watch the lovely hero- ine in the movie story, you observe her eyes, are more conscious of their behavior than you are of her lips or the movements of her body. When you think of an old friend you visualize her eyes. Without doubt, they are the most important feature. And how they can talk! They can look sweet or mean. They can say "come hither" or "begone." Just how do yours behave? If they are kindly and responsive you are sure of possessing a beauty quality that heads the list. First as Fasteners, Later Ornaments Buttons Have Never Lost Popularity This year buttons are once again back in the fashion news, hut from the prehistoric bone pin to the present "day plastic, buttons have always had an interesting story. For thousands of years, plain thorn, bone, wood and ivory pins were used to fasten clothes together. It wasn't unti' 6,000 B.C. that man discovered metal, and some fash- tion - conscious wcman discovered that pins could be worn for decora- tion as well as for more practical reasons. Brooches and pins, some with rare and costly settings, re- mained the only clothes fasteners until the Middle Ages. (The phrase "Pin Money" originated because husbands gave their wives an al- lowance to purchase this luxury item.) Finally, sometime . in the 14th Century, a German goldsmith dis- covered that cloth, jewels and other materials could be mounted on but- tons, and we have them till this day. One button-custom, that has en- dured through the years is that of putting buttons on men's sleeves. It is said that Frederick the Great originated this when he had but- tons sewn on his soldiers' jackets to cure their distressing habit of using their sleeve8 as handker- chiefs. Another interesting custom used in the past, was that of giving but- tons as gifts. Henry the Eighth's betrothal present to the ill-fated Anne of Cleves was a sét of "great buttons of diamonds, rubies and Oriental pearls". 'And at the court of Louis the Fourteenth, buttons set with priceless gems were high fashion. Buttons seem to be more popular than ever this year. According to sewing centre experts, women who sew are choosing a wide variety of buttons for trimming, because but- tons are still one of re easiest ways of adding a distinctive and decora- tive touch to a home-sewn garment. And the latest word from Paris is that designers are using buttons on everything: hats, sh. :s and gloves as well as on dresses, and suits, A Physician Advises You By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D, ASTHMA IN CHILDHOOD FEW diseases in the child can be more severe than asthma. Thus, it _is of first importance that the attacks be relleved as promptly as possible. During an attack, the tubes lead- ing to the lungs become rigid and constricted, so that the child breathes only with difficulty, and the process is often further ob- structed by the formation of large amounts of secretion in the tubes. ALLERGIC DISORDER True asthma 1s an allergic dis- order brought about by over= sensitivity to some substance with which the child comes in contact. It is possible for other conditions to create symptoms very much like those of asthma. A foreign body lodged in the tubes leading to the lungs, ' tuberculous infection, in- flammation from other causes, and a tumor of the bronchi are a)l capable of being mistaken for asthma, and thus must be ruled out before a diagnosis can be made. , When an acute attack of asthma 'occurs, the administration of small doses of epinephrine may be of great value. However, in many cases where the epinephrine is not of great benefit, small doses of syrup of ipecac, followed promptly with a glass of lukewarm water, may give relief from the asthmatic attack. Sometimes this may pro- duce vomiting, which also helps to relieve asthma. RELIEF MEASURES Other aids to relief are the giv- ing of an enema; transferring the patient to another room; propping the patient up in a chair; improv- ing ventilation; giving inhalations of steam, and a cheerful attitude on the part of those who come in con- tact with the child, Certain cases do not respond to the ordinary treatment and, in these cases, large amounts of seda- tives and fluids may be givsa into a vein. Oxygen may also be ad- ministered. The child should be under the constant, watchful care of the parents, or should be placed in a hospital. After the child has recovered from an attack of asthma, he may be placed on a low salt diet with large amounts of starches, sugars and liquids. Such a diet tends to increase the elimination of wastes from the body, and may help to rid it of substances which tend to bring on attacks. SENSITIVITY TESTS Skin testing, to find the possible cause of the allergy, is very impor- tant. Everything to which the child might be sensitive should be eliminated. It is a good idea to replace feather and cotton pillows with those of latex. Mattresses should be covered with plastic. Wood and metals chairs may be more suitable than upholstered chairs. A simple floor covering, such as linoleum, should be used. The child should not be allowed to play with pets or stuffed toys. If it is suspected that the child is allergic to certain foods, those causing the difficulty should be also be of help in certain instances. Large doses of vitamin C may determined, when possible, and eliminated from the diet. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS B. H.: Would having a small womb prevent a woman from hav- ing children?

Since I am getting my divorce ab the request of my husband because he wishes to marry another woman, I am sure that as soon as possible after the divorce he will re-marry, We all live in the same community, all are employed here, Therefore what form of name could I use te distinguish me from the second "Mrs. John Smith," so that there will be as little confusion as pose sible as to mail, store deliveries, ag well as to social occasions? Divorcee-"to-be". Drop -your ex-husband's first name . . . and in its place use your maiden surname. For example, let's say your maiden name was Mary Graham. Then your after-divorce name would be: Mrs. Graham Smith, This form of name is the proper form for you to use ... very prace tical too and sensible, because it ag once and clearly indicates your status, and avoids all the confusion you mention in your question. If for any reason it is important for you to indicate your first name, indicate it by an initial . , , Mrs, M. Graham Smith. (Please don't use the socially-incorrect form, "Mrs. Mary Smith," so thoughtlessly adopted by so many divorcees who don't take the trouble to find out what's - what - in - correct - name = forms.) (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions on Good Manners submitted by readers.) . ---- MINE ACCIDENTS London (CP) -- Accidents ag British coal mines killed 162 per sons from April to July.
