Its hemline trails on the ground, and her hat is trimmed with pink and blue birdies. Jacket Sleeves Copied The Eton jacket, the leg o’ mutton sleeves and high neckline, as well as the flare to the skirt, are all incor porated in 1936 styles—with modern, of course. Braid appliques, too, are popular this season. Next we have the spring cutie of 1910.

The dress is trimmed with Many Ills Appear and Disappear DEVASTATING DISEASES FLOURISH AND DIE SAYS DOCTOR By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D. Diseases appear, flourish and die. Some of the most devastating epi demies that the world has even seen were caused by diseases which most modern physicians have never had an opportunity to become familiar with, such as typhus or spotted fe ver, jail fever, the plague, the Black Death. Few modern physicians have much acquaintance with small pox. And yet these diseases have wiped out more populations than all the wars from Alexander to Napoleon. Modern civilization, however, has its own diseases. For instance, death and disability from automobile acci dents. The introduction of the whole sale use of new drugs frequently un covers new diseases, such as th: curious blood disease called ‘‘agranu locytosis,’’ in which the white cells of the blood disappeared, which was due to the use of the drug, amido pyrine, quite popular a few years ago. For one reason or another we hav also had entirely new infectious dis eases in the United States —for in stance, undulant fever and tularemia The greatest mystery, however, i the disease which used to be very common, called ‘‘chlorosis.” I notice in the Annals of Medical History ar article which is called “Chlorosis— An Obituary.” and the phrase repre sents the true fact, because chlorosi apparently no longer exists. Called “Green Sickness” The disease occurred entirely ir young girls at about the onset of womanhood, and was often called “the green sickness.” The name is supposed to describe the color which the patients presented and which made diagnosis possible on sight, but those who are old enough to remem ber it will echo the words of an eml | Min 1917 |: lace insertions, and Jeannie wears i mannish sailor with this frock and net elbow length gloves. Carol Hughes poses in a 1917 frock with hobble skirt. It’s a deep rose georgette with draped skirt and lace front top banded at bhe arms, shoul ders and hemline with satin and lace, and tied with a satin sash. It the hat excites you know ye that it is of navy blue net edged with a gar land of flowers and a big net bow Square necklines are again with us and slim skirts occasionally threaten to become hobble. Bette Davis is the Miss 1936. She’ , right up to the minute in an printed crepe ensemble with high necked frock and matching jacket. It is in navy and white, bordered with plair white and with it she wears a navy tarn. bag, shoes and gloves. nentphysician who said, “It take the eye of faith to see any justifica tion for the title of the disease. I one exercises a great deal of imagina tion, one may possibly see the slight eet imaginable tint of olive green in the shadow beneath the chin, bu' that is all. To the ordinary eye, the color is a yellowish pallor in brunets and a whitish, although extreme pallor in blondes.” It was a form of anemia which wa: cured by iron. Why it should have been so prevalent fifty years ago and gone today, nobody knows, unles modern food habits, with the use of green vegetables, include more iron in the diet. I have a little theory of my own that it is not quite so in frequent today as we are led to be lieve, but that it is covered up with cosmetics. When I was in Edinburgh a gooc many years ago, there were several wards of the Royal infirmary filler’ with these patients. On my last, vis it I asked where they were and war met by a shrug of the shoulders, *c I suppose my cosmetic theory only covers a few of the cases, and that there really is a great diminution L?t us hope it means that in our gen eration a better and richer diet i furnished to all groups of the popu lation. QUESTIONS FROM READERS A. S.: “A friend of mine takes If drops of soluble iodine in a glass o water a day to reduce weight.

MYERS, PH. D. Head Department Parent Education Cleveland College. Western Reserve University A New York publisher has just brought out a booklet of mine en titled “Training the Toddler In Safe ty,” It is dedicated “To All the Lit tle Children Still Alive.” I wish I were rich so I might put ths booklet into the hands of every young parent who would read it. Maybe then I could help save some of the 7,000 babies under five who will have their precious lives snuffed out in accidents during the next 12 months. Please let me relay some of it to you: “Each year 7,000 babies, from the ages of one to four, are killed by ac cidents in the United States! “Each year 8,000 boys and girls from five to 14 are killed in the same swift and terrible fashion! Twice as many as die from any one of the dread diseases against which we bat tle with quarantine, vaccine an inoc ulation. “Four times as many youngsters from five to nine are killed by acci dent as die from diphtheria. . . . “Sudden death” is too mild a phrase. A third of these babies and boys and girls are burned to death, not always swiftly. Yours One of Them “Suppose one of these children was yours! . . . “To start with, we shall have to turn our backs on a recent and now prevailing theory of child training. As interpreted by most parents it simply means that children should be alowed to do abuot as they please. “Put not your trust in the tongue in teaching tiny toddlers their way about in their brave new world. Bet ter put it in the palm of your hand. “Let your child learn that certain thnigs—dangers—are to be avoided. Later let him learn the reasons. . . .
