AGBZINE PAGE FOR EVERYBODY HOME • HEALTH • FEATURES • BEAUTY • FASHION • FICTION Keep Neck Contours i Youthful ► By HELEN FOLLETT IT may happen that a woman wins the beauty race by a neck. A beautiful neck of satin-smooth sur face and fine lines is a good-looks item of which any woman may be proud. But the trouble is this: if it qualifies, it gets no attention what aoever. If it goes to seed, takes on wrinkles or discolorations, there is difficulty in getting it in form again. A neck can look older than any thing, and you just can’t live it down. If you are getting along to ward the forty mark, you had bet ter get neckwise and soon. It can go into a state of collapse overnight and then what? All you can do is to cover it with a collar. Don’t forget that it can be preserved through fastidious treatment, rarely can be repaired with success. Nightly Massage r Five minutes of lubricating and massaging every night will often insure against neck wreckage. Use a heavy emollient, one that will not permit the fingers to slip. Put it on j a clean skin surface. Start the application just below , the collar bones, using upward ; curving strokes. Placing flattened fingers at the base of the throat, ) work out and up to the tops of the j shoulders in half circles. Then, start- j ing under the chin, do sweeping strokes to the ear lobes. Try not to j stretch the skin. Slap and pat brisk ly. Finish with an ice friction. Absorbs Cream Thin necks will absorb a good deal of cream, and that is all to the good. In the morning, lave with cold water to bring firmness to the tis sues. How you carry your head may be the making or the unmaking of this ] pillar that holds up your tete. Let the chin droop and there will be cross lines on your throat. Keep up your chin—you should anyway be cause you look better that way—and the delicate fibers running from the ' chin to the chest will keep strong and resilient. And don’t let your powdering stop just under your chin; include the reck and the earlobes. Use Nutritious Peanuts for Unusual Dishes | By IDA BAILEY ALLEN i r "WE were walking back to the test-kitchen after visiting a food ex hibit, when the Chef stopped dead In his tracks and sniffed with ap preciation, “Peanuts roasting!” he ' exclaimed. “It must be in that ■tore.” We followed our noses. And there, lined up along the wall we saw five big electric peanut roasting ma chines. The enticing smell was drawing customers into the shop by i the dozen. There were the warm new-roasted peanuts, raw peanuts, I candied peanuts, peanut patties. I peanut butter and salted peanuts. “Permit me Madame,” said the Chef, harding me a huge bag of roasted peanuts, and ordering one for himself. “Thank you. Chef. Let's also get a few pounds of those raw peanuts in the shell.” “You like them raw?” he said. Like Raw Chestnuts “Yes, they taste somewhat like raw chestnuts,” I said. “But you know peanuts are a valuable protein food, and I think we can work out ; ■ome new ways of combining them 1 with meat and other foods to help bring down the high cost of eating.” “After the raw peanuts are ■helled you parboil them and take off the red skins?” he asked. “Not necessarily. For combina tion with meats I prefer them raw: if to be used with a dark colored meat or a dark vegetable like toma toes, I leave the skins on. But if the j peanuts are to be combined with 1 light colored ingredients, the skins j should be removed. The best way to do this is to cover them with boiling j water, and let stand for 2 hours. I ■Then add a little salt and boil 45 minutes in the same water. The red ■kins then slip off easily.” “How long will those skinned pea-1 nut? !;ecp?” inquired the Chef. •‘About a week in a covered dish in the refrigerator,” I said. “Or if you can spread the skinned peanuts in a pan lined with absorbent baper, and dry them for an hour in a slow oven. Then they'll keep for weeks in a can on the pantry shelf. But don’t let them roast, for when they are used as near their original state as possible, they have the valuable property of merging their llavor with the meat or main ingredient used, so you scarcely know it is ex tended by any other food.” Very Inexpensive “These raw peanuts are very in expensive,” commented the Chef; “they cost much less by the pound than meat, even when they are out of the shell. As the expert on foods, Madame, what is their food value?” “Peanuts contain more than twenty-five percent protein, about fifty percent fat, and up to twenty five percent carbohydrate—a per fect balanced combination. And they are a good source of phosphorous, calcium and iron, not to speak of their rich content of thiamin, ribo flavin and niacin.” “Madame, I'm sold,” said the Chef. “We shall have a beef and peanut loaf for dinner.” TOMORROW'S DINNER Cabbage Soup Dark Bread Beef and Peanut Loaf Tomato-Pepper Gravy Baked Sweet Potato-Yams Hot String Bean Salad Apple Ring “Doughnuts” Syrup Coffee or Tea Milk (Children) All Measurements Are Level Recipes Serve Four Cabbage Soup Combine 2 c. fine-chopped raw cabbage and 2 fine-chopped large peeled onions; add to 2 tbsp. butter, margarine, beef fat or ham fat melted in a soup kettle.

Keep your Electric Banket Jn Qood Shape DIDN'T WASH YOUR ELECTRONIC blanket last spring before putting it away? And you're already using it? Tchk! Tchk! Disconnect that cord at once! By MARION CLYDE McCARROLL ARE you one of the many hasty housewives who were too . busy in the early spring, getting out and fixing up summer things to take time to properly dispose of all winter para phernalia? If so, now that the nippy nights are at hand, when that elec tronic blanket will feel mighty good you may be ruefully dis covering that it was one of the things you meant to clean thoroughly before putting away, so that it would be fresh for the fall, but just somehow never got around to. If that's the case, better remedy matters right away, before the weather gets any colder. You can do a perfectly good job of washing the blanket yourself, if you go about it carefully. Or if you have a reliable commercial laundry at hand, it can be laundered there in safety. Let's suppose that you're going to do the job yourself. If the nip in the night air has already induced you to put the blanket on your bed, naturally the first step to get it ready for laundering is to disconnect the pigtail cord. Next, measure the blanket before washing, so it can be dried to its original size. Then into the tub or the automatic washing machine with it, for a cleansing bath in mild, lukewarm suds. If washing by hand, squeeze the soapsuds through the blanket, and, after rinsing, extract the excess water in the same way. When the blanket is thoroughly dry, restore its fluffy nap YOU CAN SIND IT TO the laundry, of course, but why not do the job your self when it’s so easy? Measure it first, so it can be dried to original size. Blood Vessel Disorder That May Plague Elderly People By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. PEOPLE of advanced age are quite likely to be plagued by disturbances of the circulation, particularly of that to the legs. Among the most j common disorders are those which result from spasm of the arteries or hardening of these important blood vessels. In either of these dis I orders pain—often of an agonizing I nature—is the chief symptom. | Recently a worth-while treatment ! for relief of pain in such cases has been developed. It is apparently suc cessful because not only does it re lieve the pain, but reaches the very root of the trouble—the diminished blood supply. There is a substance known as histamine which normally may be present in the body in small amounts, and may produce dilation or widening of small blood vessels. Another Substance It has been found that another ' substance Called histidine—one of the amino acids that make up pro teins—will, in contact with ascorbic acid or vitamin C, form histamine. Hence, this mixture has been used in treating patients with blood ves sel disorders. In carrying out the treatment, a solution of the histidine and the as corbic acid is mixed in a syringe. Then the mixture is injected very slowly into a vein. Twenty patients were treated with this preparation. Four of the patients had gangrene or death oi the tissues due to insufficient blood supply. The others had severe pair either when lying down or after walking. Of the 20 patients, IS showed great improvement. Some oi the patients had been given narcotic drugs to relieve the pain, but aftei treatment with the histidine-ascor bic mixture, it was found possible tc j reduce the dose of or eliminate the ! narcotics. Twice Daily If necessary, the injections maj ' be given twice daily, but usually one treatment each day is sufficient When the pain disappears, the treat ments are stopped. About 20 treat ments are administered ordinarily A large number of such injection: have been given without causin* any reactions, or inconvenience. Th< treatment also has an advantage ii that it can be employed while tin patient is up and about his norma activities. Before this type of treatment i: carried out, of course, the patien | must be carefully studied to deter J mine the exact type of disorder pres ' ent and the physician will decide, ii each instance, whether or not thi: < new treatment may be of value. THE STARS SAY —By™FEVI for Thursday, October 14 A DIFFICULT or involved state of affairs affecting business inter ests finances and credit, as well as home and purely personal objectives and desires, is read from the current sidereal setup. Property and posses sions, business as well as home as sets, are in the balance, probably due to carelessness or negligence, with unhappy reactions and probable grief to the standing and reputation. Fortunately the mind is pitched in serious grooves, with inclination toward reflection and capacity for analysis and reasoning, with even tual practical issues and sound or ganization. Diplomacy, tact and per sistent effort win out. For the Birthday Those whose birthday it is, may i find themselves confronted by some static or strange situation in which property, possessions, credit and reputation are at stake. Safeguard all home assets, position and stand ing, with particular concern for purely personal interests. Fortu nately the mentality is channeled to the serious and profound with a practical slant on affairs, with keen power for analysis and rationaliza tion. Supplement this by diplomacy, tact and the friendly approach rather than any show of forced issues. A child born on this day has a keen mind, with friendly personal ability.

LOVE’S PERILOUS PATH A Sequel to Love's Fair Horizon By ADELE GARRISON * * * While Dicky Rests, Katharine Takes Madge Across i The Room and Tells Her About His Condition Synopsis: After inspecting the bullet I wound Dicky Graham haa received In the ) arm here in his Hotel Lansfield penthouse I studio from a prowler now raptured, Kath arine Pickett, trained nurse, and close friend of Dicky's wife. Madge, also present, insists that Dr. Twitrhell be summoned. Telephon ing the physician herself, she tells him what has happened, tiding only Latin terms as she does so. “There!" she says as she hangs up. "I don't believe any 'listeners in’ pot any comfort out of that rlcmaro’e. He'll he here as soon as his r:.r can get him here and it's a good new one." “WELL, you got your way, as usual,” Dicky told Katharine. “Look here, Dicky Bird.” she said. ! ‘‘if I assure you on my honor, and hoping Faith crawls through the barred windows if I'm lying, that I the little draught Doctor Twitchell ' told mo I could give you will not impair your marvelous brain cells | in the least, and will not put you to I sleep, will alleviate the pain, will you take it?” shut eyes. “I wouldn't believe you on the traditional stack of Bibles,” he said, , “or on any oath except the one you I mentioned. I know you wouldn’t bring Faith in if you weren’t speak ing the truth.” “You can bet your last nickel that I wouldn’t,” she told him. “I'd see you on the rack and the wheel first. But how about it? Will you take it?” Drained the Glass “Yes, thank you very kindly, nice loidy.” She prepared it swiftly, brought it to him, and he drained the small glass. “You didn’t promise not to put any poison into it,” he said. “I always make it a professional point of honor,” she ■said, “never to poison a masculine patient when his wife or sweetie is looking on. They always kick up such a mess,” she went on, “unless they happen to wrant him out of the way. God knows Madge ought to belong in that category, but for some un known reason 4c clings to you. I think it's the divinely maternal in her,” she finished with a malicious grin. “You’re better dope than the one old Doc Twitchell recommended/ , Dicky told her with a grin, not a twisted one this time. "A little more of your gab, and I’ll be getting up and hunting me an axe.” “More power to you!” she told him with an answering grin. “Now suppose you lie back and keep quiet for a spell. Come on, Madge. He’s better off alone.” “You foul fiend from the pit!” Dicky adjured her, but he lay back and closed his eyes, and Katharine’s ! hand on my elbow steered me to the farthest corner of the long pent | house studio, where we could not | be overheard. The Low Down “1 knew you'd want as much of the lowdown on this as I could give you.” she said. “Oh, yes,” I said faintly, and she ; took my shoulders in her firm hands, and gave them a little shake. “Don't you dare do a ‘fainting Flora’ on me!” she adjured me. ! “I’m not,” 1 said indignantly, and she laughed. t^hc pushed me into a chair with its back to the wall, and stood in front of me, speaking in muted tones. “If the bullet hasn't shattered the bone.” she said, “has only grazed it, the thing won't be serious. I’m hop ing it's only a graze. It’s reached ' the bone, or he wouldn't be in such | pain, lie sure is game! You can be proud of him!” “I am,” I choked. “But if it has shattered the bone?” Party Postponed I “I hope it hasn't, remember!’’she said. “But if it has, the Chief will have to postpone his party for a coup1.' of days while Dicky dances around to the tune of X-rays and eminent surgeons. A shattered arm bone is nothing over which to sound jive trumpets.” From somewhere deep within me, I summoned the courage' to utter an ultimatum to my absent father. “If Father does keep to his sched ule,” I said, “he'll have to go with out me. I shall stay with Dicky.” * (Continued tomorrow) MAKE A GOOD LATHER of mild, lukewarm soapsuds, and if you’re washing it by hand, squeeze the soapsuds gently but firmly through the blanket.

Parent Teacher 11 Relations By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS. Pk.D. IT'S wonderful when apprecia- . tive parents are welcome as visitors in the classrooms and when pupils, parents and teachers find good ways of knowing one another as persons. As a rule, there is all too wide a gap between the home and school, which widens from the kindergarten to the hiph school. Referring to earlier statements of mine like the foregoing, Mrs. Lucy Hartman Ellett writes from East Moline, 111. (I am using her name with permission): “I believe as you do, that some thing can be done to bring about, a happier state of affairs. 1 think the teachers of John Deer School are, among others, doing a lot in a quiet way to remedy this difficulty. "Recently, my twelve-year-old son brought me a cordial invitation to attend a party Grade 6-1 was to give for the mothers. The invita tions had been planned by the Ian- .. guage class. I told him I would attend, if possible. "Dr. Myers, he looked me straight in the eye and said, ‘Ngw, Mom, I hope you understand that you will just have to attend, for we are go ing to have a play and refreshments and I am the stage manager, and how is it going to look if my own j mother doesn’t care enough to come when we have gone to all this 11 rouble? I will just be socially ruined if you don’t come, for 1 told my f | teachers you would.’ I “I was tired, my mother had ju t died and I had an ironing a mile I high, but I went, just as any decent i person would have done. I went feel ing very noble about taking the j time, and came home feeling very refreshed and extremely humble. Clever Dramatization "The play was dramatized, cos tumed and staged with cleverness professionals might have envied. After the play, we were invited to the home economics classroom where we were met at the door by girls who invited us to sign the guest book. Then the boys helped us to find seats. All this time the girls were introducing each other to the moth ers and their friends. After a bit of conversation, we were invited to the tea table where we were served buffet style with coffee, tea and cookies made by the nomc economics » class. A little girl sat at either end / \ . of the table, one pouring tea the y other coffee. Other girls stood along the table to welcome us. Boys and girls alike urged us to have more, and we did, not because we were hungry but out of sheer delight at seeing those charming children serve us. "Later, the children let us enjoy seeing them take over the clean-up work. They were quietly efficient. Each knew his or her own duties. Applied Psychology ‘ “The children had also used a lot of applied psychology in getting the mothers there. So I think I was not the only mother to have a little pressure applied to get good attend ance. We mothers shared confi dences and were astounded at the similarity of our experiences. “From the time we arrived until we left wi,th cordial invitations to come again soon, we were made wel come and happy by well trained children who would do credit to a high-priced finishing school. Not one of these children will have an im pulse to sneer when ‘the better things of life’ are mentioned. Each i one of them has received a precious j incentive to try to live on a higher plane. Each child was able to be proud of his own room, own teacher ! and own mother.’* Imaginative Decorating By ELEANOR ROSS MANY'S the time we have all wished that our walls were made of elastic so that we could push them around to change the size or shape J of a room. And this is especially true when almost anything with walls, windows and doors has had to make do at a price that left little money for structural changes. Some of the ultra modem places now under construction are being built with disappearing walls, but most of us will have to get along with the homes we now have. That doesn’t mean, however, that we have to put up w'ith them in their present state. There are innumer able ways and means, inexpensive, too, by which the amateur home decorator can pull sleight-of-hand tricks to get good effects. By the wise choice of wallpapers and a liberal sprinkling of imagination, you can achieve almost any desired effect. Light Colors As every woman knows from her I own clothes, light colors tend to \ make one look larger, while dark shades make a woman feel posi 1 tively sylphlike. The same color principle applies to walls. If you want a room to seem larger, give it a background of a small pattern or \ pale shades of wall paper such as 1 the cool blues, grays, cream, ivory or oyster tones. Tha lighter the 1 shade, the greater tlie illusion of 1 space. On the other hand, if you want to create a more intimate effect in a [ large room put it on a reducing diet ) of small colors. The warm shades - such as terra cotta, cocoa, deep red, : rose and the like tend to make a room seem smaller, i V' 1 fashion in rhyme and reason 1 | By £tiia THatdof ^ There's plenty of news | 1 i Below the hem, J In shoes with new heels, I New color, new trim, | ( Now at the back, | , As well as the toes; 1 .
