IF I WERE A MAN=
(By Jill)
I wouldn't insist on expressing my-
self until I was quite sure I had some-
thing to express.
I wouldn't go around shouting a-
bout' freedom and a .man's right to
vent his desires—then go into a tow-
ering rage if the girl t was with so
much' as fluttered an eyelash in the
direction of 'another male.
I wouldn't dwelt on the fact that
aasy free and soaring spirit musn't be
confined . within set rules and boun-
daries that my feelings couldn't be
"regimented" or my goings and com-
ings limited—and then feel injured if
sweetness broke a date with me or
-was 15 minutes late for an appoint -
anent.
I'd remember `that self-expression
worlds both ways and if I'm entitled
to. it, so is everyone else, regardless•`
of whether or not their particular
manner of showing it fits in with my
own personal convenience.
IF I WERE A GIRL
(By Jack)
I wouldn't expect a man to spend
more on ine'than he could afford.
I wouldn't insist that he take me
around in taxis if he were earning a
subway salary. If he gets balcony
instead of orchestra seats, I' -wouldn't
be insulted and tell him by my man-
ner that I thought he was pretty
"cheap." Some girls act as if they're
too good to sit in the balcony;
They ought to be grateful that
they're taken to the theatre at all,
for a man doesn't have much of his
salary left when he finishes paying for
two theatre tickets.

LEARN TO WALK AND
BREATHE' CORRECTLY
(13y Josephine Huddleston)
Walking for beauty's sake does not
mean merely placing one foot ahead
of the other and moving the body
along, There are various ways of
walking correctly, but only when
proper clothing, correct breathing and
a rythntic step are combined is the
full benefit derived.
One of the surest and gtticlest ways
to derive a clear skitis a brisk, two-
mile walk each day, Not .only does
it act as a tonic to the system, stim-
ulating circulation which. ' eliminates
sluggishness, but it .brings nature's
own tint to the cheeks and a sparkle
to the eyes.
Loose, comfortable clothing, IOW--
heeled
ow-Heeled shoes and a quick step that in-
vigorates the body are far more im-
portant than whether the weight of.
the body falls first on the balls o:f
the'. feet or on the heels.
To breathe correctly, one must
stand 'correctly, so io-clay I'm going
to combine correct breathing, stand-
ing. and walking so that all three may
be used together.
To stand correctly the heels should
be about three inches apart, with the
toes •pointing straight ahead. .The
torso is then pulled up to its full
height. During this, action, the mus-.
cies must not be tensed, but stretched
slowly so that wizen the body has
arrived at its full height the shoulders
are pushed back and dropped slightly
the shoulder blades lie .flat across the
back, the spinal column is in its pro'
per alignment, the head is
held up
with the chin thrust out just a bit,
the arms hang relaxed at the sides
and the chest is raised, not pushed
out.
Take this t'osition, and then, before
going out on the walk, practice cor-
rect breathing for a few moments, so
that once the walk is started you
have a thorough knowledge of the
proper procedure. Stand before an
open window and inhale deeply
through the nostrils; keeping the lips
closed." When the lungs are filled
with fresh air, exhale by forcing the
air out through;:the ;mouth using' suf-
ficient force to tense or contract the
abdominal . muscles without 'any ef-
fort except that expended for exhala-
tion. Inhale and exhale twenty-five
times before going into the open.
And now we are ready for. correct
walking—Take the standing postion
described and starting with the right
foot, swing the limb forward from the

the ground. a fraction; of a second be-
fore the ballof the :foot. Retreat with,
the left limb, in the same manner.
.Remember ,to holdthe knees slightly
firm at .all' times.. The arms should
hang relaxed: at the sides so that they,
swing freely with ea'ch' step.
The walk may appear stiff aud un-
graceful at first, but after a little
practice you, will find it's really gttite
a lovely walk and that the benefits
derived will more than repay you for
the time and effort required.
When yon know how to walk cor-
rectly you willfind that it is.notlonly,
difficult to deprive yonrsellf of a two -

WHAT TO EAT
(By Marjorie .charts)
Wliat to eat.-is'.a ciuestion often
asked by the housewife. As. a rule
men and the older children, are not
fussy about what they eat as long
as plenty of something which smells
good:and.looks palatable is put be-
fore them: But the wise housewife
will not be satisfied with the ease
with. Which lct family may be satis-
fied. -.She. will consider the nourish
ing 'gtialities' of the food which she
sets before them.
One' may eat and still be virtually
Starved, you know. That is, One may
fill the stomach with food that lacks
the necessary elements for nourish-
ment and while the appetite may be
satisfied the. body cells will get no
nourishment. The, results are ,poor
health` and poor body protection a-
gainst disease. This malnutrition is.
the cause of the spread of contagious
disease because the body of, the un-
dernourished has poor resistance to
sickness,
This may be, avoided by giving the
family seasonable food in the right
quantity and of the right quality. ,For
example, new home grown cabbage:
has most .of the 'vitamins necessary
for good nourishment. It is good.
roughage and,. with corned beef, new
peas and picked new beets makes a
delicious meal. For dessert fresh
fruit is ideal because fruits contain
vitamins and essential Minerals.'.
It is just as easy and just as cheap
to give the family the right food as
the wrong and the resulting health
appetite and happiness of the mem-
bers are really worth while. ee
FOR 'VARIETY IN CUSTARD PIE
(1) Cocoanut may be sprinkled
over the top or 'one-half cup o:f chop-
ped dates, figs or raisins may be add-
ed to the filling.
(2) Top with whipped cream or
ice cream and garnish with red
cherries.
• (8) Dark brown sugar may he used
for a little change in flavor..
(4) The crust for a custard pie
should be a little thicker than for
other pies 'so the filling will not run
through.
(5) A deep pan is advised for hold-
ing tlie pie.
HELPFUL HINTS
1, Delicate colored furniture should
never be washed with soap and water
but should be cleaned with sifted
whiting applied with a slightly inois-
tened cloth, anci then wiped off with
a piece of old flannel wrung out of
clear, cold water, and polished with
a piece of silk.
2. To snake floor cleaning easier,.
take a two-inch board large enough
to set a pail upon. Bore holes one
and a half-inch from each other and
insert casters, The pail can then be
pushed -Froin ,place to place with the
foot and save a great deal of inner-
cssary lifting, '
3. Take a padded cushion of vel-
yet, three by four inches inserting it
.piece of card -board to stiffen arid
stuffing with cotton.. Add a strap of
tape for the hand, This will make a
Very convenient little. brush' for vel-
vet hats.
• 4, „ To dry :lettuce after washing
place in a clean towel and • twirl it
around and around a, number' of tines.
This drives nearly every particle of
water out of the lettuce.

of i.'reii*toy.+ic. Cave -Dwellers.
Remarkable discoveries, throwing
new light an the conditions of lite in
B.ritatit in /Ionian, times are reported
trout various parts :of the country,
They foclude, says an ar fele in the
London Daily Chronicle, relies of the
Cave -dwellers of 12,000 yours ago
discovered in Gough's Cave, Cheddar;
a section of a fossilized submarine
forest diselesed at Bude; Roxnazi,
Sacrificial Altar and dungeon un-
earthed at :Caerleon,
The discoveries at Cheddar reveal
that a cultured, artistic people lived
in .C'ough's .Cave, and ran a factory
for : making finely -worked ' lniple•; ..
ments, ata time when England is
supposed to have been overrun by
savages.
Striking revelations of the lives
and habits of the early men of Wes-
sex are expected in the near future,
following scientific examination of
remarkable cave wen remains recent-
ly : discovered in G.ougii's Cave,
Cheddar.
Sir'Arthux.Keith, who has examin-
ed some of the remains, states tha:
the : discovery is "a very important
one."
"Fragmentary skulls T have exam-
ined," he said, "are a period of about
12,000 years ago.
"The remains can bp associated
with the Cromagnon people who liv-
ed in caves in the south of France at
that time."
Gough's Cave was discovered near-
ly thirty'years ago by tte Gough bro-
thers, of Cheddar, who leased it from
the landowners and opened it to the.
public. It became a famous show
cave, and the tourist traffic grew to
suchan extent that le was necessary
to widen the entrance.
It was decided to carry out the
work of • excavation with' scientific
care, and the floor of the vestibule
of the cave was stripped . off, It con-
sisted of limestone blocks, red earth
and pebbles to a depth of fourteen
feet.
Thousands of prehistoric remains
were found, ranging from skull frag-
ments to flint lakes,
The most' mysterious thing is a
baton, .which , some experts consider
may be the ceremonial wand of a
cave magician,
It was used, perhaps, to wave a
spell Pe over the wild deer when tee
cave man set out to hunt it.
This baton is made from a short
length of smooth reindeer antler. It
bears marks and perforations, and is
similar to one found in the case just
before the war.
The same kind of rod has been
found in Continental eaves, and sci-
entists have been mystified by them.
While some associate them with
magic, otners think they were used
for straightening arrows.
Another • striking d"(iscovery in
Gough's Cave is a few fox's teeth per-
forated for suspension. It is thought
that these, too, are connected with
magic and charms.
Other animal remains are berm
examined at the ].Natural History Mu-
seum, Sonth Kensington. They re-
veal the existenee of gigantic red
deer and horses, oxen, reindeer,
wolves, and possibly Arctic fox.
Over 1,000 .dint implements and
flakes were discovered, Some of these
display eareful workmanship, while
blocks of flint show that the work-
men got their raw material from the
chalk country, the nearest of which
is 27 miles from Cheddar.
The remains also include gravers,
awls, scrapers, finely -worked knives,
ribbon-like blades, aud geometrical
points,
More work of excavation is being
planned for next spring.
WILL RISE V.EBTICALLY.''—'
R. C. Man' invents 'Plane That Can-
not Crash.
John E. Hess, a resident of New
Westminster, B.C., is the inventor of
a new machine which he claims com-
bines the principles of the airplane
and the helicopter and -will revolu-
tionize aviation. He has secured
Canadian patents and appliedfor pa-
tent rights in all other countries.
Hess claims for his machine that it
can rise vertically from the ground,
and descend vertically in a space less
titan 30 feet square. Crashes,he
says, will be impossible for it, and in
addition to it being able to rise and
descend like a helicopter, he says 3t
can also take off and land in the same
manner as an airplane. The inventor
claims that it will lilt about tour
times as much per horsepower as` an
airplane, and estimates that a ma-
chine weighing 560 pounds •oan as-
cend vertically at a speed of two
miles a minute.
Lifting power is furnished by two
propellers, made of duralumin, Fast-
ened on vertical shafts. The machine
is called the "helicoplane."

THE TOWN DOCTOR
(The Doctor of Tawas)
Says
IF I COULDN'T BOOST I'D MO'STI OUT!!
A, town that is good-en00gb to 1iYe in, good emins;li tri provide
your livelihood, provicle your children with schools and.rplaygrnnnds;
a town whose citizens are broadminded enough to put up with. your
peculiarities, is a town good enough for you to boost, If you can't
' boost, do the community at. Ieast one favor and move out,
William Hale Thompson, Chicago's uiost cussed and discussed
mayor, says ---"Throw away your l nez•atcbuy ,
ii:" Thats
one thing Mr, Thompson says with which all the thinking people in
his domain are In accord,
It is good advice, however, to suggest that when tooting your
horn to be sure you are in the right key.
'The man who always knocks and runs down the place where
he lives.is not only a pest but a public liability. Towns should have
a place to pen such people up—put them all together in o;tie place
and let'them contaminate each other. The disease they have is worse
than smallpox and is just as malicious and contagions.
The knocker's creed is ---"`Whatever is—is punk."
The easiest thing inthe world to do is knock, It doesn't take
any brains and it is the easiest way to attract attention,
Knocking is cheap—a cheap trick used only by cheap people,
but expensive to them in the long run.
Even a knocker hates a knocker and sooner or later, every-
body shuns' him because they are afraid of hint:
Usually the fellow who knocks his town, knocks his competitor
and his neighbor and like a bee kills himself stinging others.
Nobody ever got anywhere running other people down.
The old saying that every knock is a boost is true only when
the knocker is knocked out.
If: any merchant ,needs to lose the patronage of his fellow
• citizens it's the fellow who is forever knockingwho' decries and be-
littles every attempt to do anything for, or make something of the
town—who says that every fellow or organization that tries to do
things has an axe to grind.
On the other hand, the man who stops blaming conditions,
government, prohibition and competition—the man who quits laying
the blame of his own shortcomings onto his associates, friends and
relatives and takes unto himself the blame for things not being as.
he would like 'to have them :that man will hake advantage of every
Opportunity to make'' his town a better place in which to live, work,.
play and retake money.
Every town has its faults, but every town has its good points.
If a town has little to talk about, that is just that much more reason.
to correct the faults, or at least keep still about them if a man hasn't
enough gumption to do things' that will help correct. them.
