Take Drink, Jane Assures Them.
: Would you like to have your problem discussed from » sane and sensible viewtodas! Put it in a letter to Jane Jordan today
Dear Jane Jordan—We are three girls in high school. We are in_vited to parties now and then but when we are asked to drink and smoke we decline because we really have no desire to do so. It is all
right for women to do those things but why should our friends turn us down and tell us we haven't any sense? Do you think one should force oneself to do things against one’s own wishes just to get along . «with people? We would like your opinion of women who smoke and drink. THREE MUSKETEERS.
” #® ” Answer—It depends upon who
does the smoking and drinking, how and why. A well-bred woman can smoke and drink without giving offense whereas the selfsame
things only accent the cheapness ss meee. Of 8 COmMmon person. As I have said before, to the wrath of many readers, I have practically no objection to smokingg However harmful nicotine may he, it does not change the mental outlook of the person who does it; but alcohol does. Jane Jordan When properly used alcohol has considerable value to the human race. A drink relaxes the person who lives on a strain and helps to ease the burden of living. It loosens the tongue of a ' timid person and encourages him to make a better social adjustment. The mild, but pleasant glow of a cocktail before dinner has made many a guest forget his problems for the moment and inspired a convivial mood. | On the other hand too much alcohol is disgusting in effect. Nothing is more boring than the society of a drunk. No scene more distressing than that of the person whose civilized inhibitions have been completely paralyzed by drink. At such moments one can agree heartily with the opponents of liquor and wish that every drop of it could be placed beyond the reach of unstable and « frresponsible people. In any case, high school girls are not women. A drink in the hands of a young girl is far from a pretty sight. A revolver in the hands of a 2-year-old has no more potentialities for danger. Our civilization is built upon renunciation and the task of youth is to gain control over the pressing desires of the moment and postpone them in favor of future and more satisfactory gratification, Alcohol is mot an aid to the achievement of this goal but a hindrance. Your young friends feel that they owe it to their personal prestige to indulge in all the adult privileges they can lay their hands on. They feel more like grown-ups with a cocktail in one hand and a cigaret in the other. As a matter of fact they are as ludicrous as a little girl who goes to a party in her mother’s long dress and as terrifying as the little boy who plays with his father’s firearms. Do not force yourself to join your foolhardy friends in alcoholic frolics. Their attitude toward you will bz determined not by your refusal, but. by your manner of refusing. Remember they already feel insignificant or they would not try to ape older people in search of petty prestige. : Tt your refusal is made in a selfrighteous manner, you increase their feeling of inferiority and invite
their ridicule of a perfectly sensi-
ble attitude. Refuse gracefully and explain that you just haven't learned to like the taste of the stuff and won’t they do themselves a favor by not allowing you to make a fool of yourself? In this way you permit them to keep their spurious superiority and thereby escape their annoying attempts to make you feel little.

It ‘is assumed that you have a hairbrush, olive oil for scalp treatments, toothbrushes and paste and a mouthwash. These come in the good grooming and health category. Add to them a depilatory for removal of superfluous hair on legs and arms, a good deodorant to be used twice a week, an eyewash and a manicure set.
Soap and Cream
If your skin is normal, good soap and one tissue cream are about all you need to keep it young and fresh. That is, provided you give it a daily rinse with ice water.
At night, simply wash with soap |
and water, rinse with ice water, apply the cream, leave on for 20 minutes, then remove the surplus. A woman with oily skin should, remove every trace of the cream and rinse again with cold water. One with dry skin should leave a bit of the cream on all night. If your budget permits, get a good skin tonic to use in the morning after you have washed again with soap and water. Otherwise rinse with ice water. : . Lotion or Cream
Every one needs some kind of foundation lotion or cream. Pick a variety that matches the tone of your complexion and which will hold powder in place for hours.. Hand lotion is ‘another necessity. As for cosmetics, rouge, powder

Of course, there are certain extras that come in handy from time to time. A special cream to cover temporary blemishes, for instance. Also toilet water or cologne, bath powder and : ‘dark ‘nail polish for vening.

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Possibly no problem in childmanagement has been more discussed than the tantrum. Mahy parents, however, continue to re-
gard it as something abnormal. The tantrum is not abnormal. It is merely anger generated by frustration. If this is -abnormal, then all of us are queer. What day passes without some form of rage besetting us? We may not turn blue, hold our breath or lie screeching on the floor, but we lose our appetites, or get a headache or swear, according to our pattern. The tantrum is rage expressed in the child's pattern. Maybe he has been over-indulged, or his natural instincts to play (or acquire) have been too persistently thwarted but there is a cause, be sure. In some children the cause may be very slight, once he is set in his
habit, "So Child Explodes °
Aft any rate, he explodes. He can not talk himself into getting his way, so he stages it. Tiny children, like ‘many older ones too, are not lawyers. They are not “articulate,” which means lack of power to put your. case. They have no silvertongued terms to justify what: they deem their rights. Mothers today know pretty well how to deal with the tantrum child, for the moment. They let him alone, deny the prize he is working for, and even resort to the “faint” cure, cold water suddenly applied. But usually the breathholder comes to very nicely when he finds himself neglected. It is true that many tots never get over the tantrum habit. Long after they cease to be toddlers they continue to stage outrageous scenes.
Sometimes They Change Tactics
It is also a fact that many of those who “appear” to be cured are not cued at all, but -have merely change tactics. to

Convention Agenda Presented
The agenda for the league’s nae tional convention, to be held in San Antonio, Tex. in July, ‘wis presented to the unit. It includes a recommendation for the Relief Research Committee's plan for raising funds for old-age maintenance, including grants for home care in localities where they are no suitable institutions. It also recommends that the American Red Cross be asked to.cooperate with the league and assist in verification of needs of former service women when. geographical location, limited membership or lack of experience on the part of league members prohibits league units from functioning effectively, Initial funds for the old-age maintenance program are to‘ be solicited from the league’s own membership. Questionnaires sent
out to the more than 400. Indiana women who served overseas during the World War are being returned, listing service of women.
Efforts to Cure Tantrum Child Proves Long, Hard Business
a new outlook that will eventually weaken the anger complex. The tantrum child should not be merely neglected when he has his spasms. His whole routine of life may need revamping. Perhaps, if he is kept busier he will sweeten up. Perhaps he needs to be put out more. Regularity of hours may change the picture. Maybe there is a teaser ‘n the house. But in some manner or other, studied out by the mother, he needs to have his rage-habit undermined. The real cure depends - discovering the cause, if pose.
