The following charts, which
will be printed from time to
time, deal with some of the ail-
lents which especially threaten
children and how you can rec-
ognize their early syr•ptoms.
They were compiled by Dr. lago
Galdston, of The Bureau of
Medical Information, New York

A contagious eruptive disease;
caused by a virus.
When To Suspect It:
Eyes sensitive to light. Mild
cold symptom s, especially
sneezing. Fever. Throat and
„ cheeks at margin of the gums

diately about giving gamma gin-
bouli.n injections to ensure a
'milder case. A child already ill
for some other reason may be
given larger doses of gamma
globulin in an effort to ward
off the disease completely.
Fine Needlework
All through the ages fine
needlework has been the mark
of a lady. Infinite patience, skill
in workmanship, appropriate
materials, and delicate colors Or
rich hues .make heirloom trea-
sures. , . .
Many of the early embroid-
eries were done in wool on
coarse canvas by counting the
threads of the canvas. This was
termed canvas work, ; later
known as needlepoint. Some-
times the wool design wholly
covered the canvas. Sometimes
a large part of the canvas or
fabric background was left un-
decorated. , . .
Some modern crewel pieces
feature the designs in wools of
many different colors, while oth-
er designs are carried out in
several shades of one color. This
latter method was popular in
the Colonial era... .
Needlepoint as we know it
today was introduced to England
'by Mary, the wife of William
of Orange. It became quite a
vogue during the 18th century,
and is still very fashionable for
use in traditional homes. Be-
cause of the lovely designs; and
the sturdy wearing qualities of
this wool stitching on a canvas
ground, it has never been out ,
of style 'since its first, introduc-
tion and has steadily grown in
popularity. .
Many early needlepoint de-
signs were created by famous
artists of the period. As flowers
and swirls of the rococo style
became more fashionable. the
small 'stitches such as the diag-
onal stitch or half cross. stitch
became more popular.
Some of the centers of the
decorative motifs were worked
in petit point, or small stitch,
while the surrounding area was
worked .in gros point, or large
stitch. Some of the designs con-
trasted silk thread with wool
thread, while other designs were
pointed up with china or glass
beads.—From' "The Story of Fine
Needlework" in "MrCall's Trea-
sury of Needlecraft"
They Ray To Sit In
This Farm's Ditch
Farmer Jesse Reese felt on
top of the world when his geiger
counter revealed that uranium
was lying al] over his land near
Comanche, Texas.
But his prospect of great
wealth swiftly faded. The urani-
um turned out to be such low-
grade stuff that the govern-
ment wouldn't buy it. •
Then one day a stranger
knocked at his farmhouse door
and said: "Radiation therapy for
my rheumatics has cost me a
small fortune during the "past
years. D'you mind if I come
and sit on your [and for, an hour
and get a little free treatment?
I'm told it's radio -active so it
ought to do me good."
Jesse consented and the stran-
ger felt so much better after
squatting in one ,of the large
radio -active ditches on the
farm, that he spread the word
round.
Pretty soon scores of men and
women from miles around be-
gan to bring their aches and
pains to Jesse's ditches.
It wasn't long before they be-
came a great nuisance. They
left gates open and spread lit-
ter. So Jesse charged every
person two dollars to sit on his
radio -active soil. But that didn't
stop them. By the en1 of that
week rheumatism sufferers
were queueing up to get in.
Jesse suddenly sawthat here
was 'a wonderful way to make
money. E-te built a huge shed
in which sixty people could sit
on the soil which, as shown by
the certificate, which Jesse now
exhibited on the wall, was giv-
ing out some kind of rays.
To -day Jesse is netting an in-
come of about $1800 a week

Jesse isn't the only person
with a strange but well -paying
occupation.
On an average, Miss Frances
Williams, a petite and pretty
Pennsylvanian, attends three
weddings a week . throughout
the year. And at every oneof
them she's a bridesmaid.
She claims to 'be the world's •
first full - time professional
- bridesmaid and earns a big in-
come.
She noticed that the ordinary
bridesmaid rarely knew her job
properly — how to button and
arrange the bride's dress, how
to ensure that the bride looked
her best and so on.
So Miss Williams launched
out as a full-time bridesmaid at
fashionable weddings.
In church she is always at
hand to whisper advice to the
bride. At the reception she
makes everybody feel happier
and everything go smoothly.
In France they call Madame
Faes "the most tactful woman
in the world." She earns a good
income by writing other peo-
ple's letters — including young
folk's love letters.
When an ardent lover wants
to write his sweetheart a "real
scorcher" and feels incapable
of finding the right words, off
he goes to Madame Faes. In the
privacy of her office the love
letter is written, full of felici-
tous phrases and pulsing with
passion!
Some people living in East
London and in the north of
England still earn money by
acting as human alarm clocks.
They don't make a fortune from
knocking people up early in the
morning, but it must pay them,
for they go on doing it, year
after year. r A few of them
arouse shift -workers by firing
pea -shooters against window-
panes.
