It's a small, low, white house, and we didn't like tile exterior of it as well as the in- terior, although our opinion was that it would have been much more attract- ive had there been a sloping lawn be- fore it and a few trees around on the lawn. But inside there seemed to be nil sorts of space for the size of the house. There was a small entry hall leading into the very sunny living room—a room made even more pleasant and chcerful by the yellow color scheme and given character by the attractive fire- place. It was the sort of room that would invite the owners of the house at nr.y liour of the day. in the morning for working or letter writing at the large cie .sk .«et In the nook of tlie bay win- dow; in the afternoon for reading in a large overstuffed chair; and then at live for tea—while all day long the yaideners of the family would be walk- ing through from the covered porch it opened onto with glass doors. In the evening, the fireplace would give the room Its place as center of at- traction once more. It was well plan- ned, indeed. The comer of the living room near- est the kitchen was a nook hidden from part of the living room itself, -ind forming the dining corner of the house. A nice sized table r e s t e d against the wall, and wild ducks of dark colored wood were flying above the table, adding a touch of gaiety. The kitchen of the house was one of these small. CQjnDact nnit-piMinart. arrairs that are so attractively gleam- ing and so styled for work convenience. There was a separate laundry and an upstairs furnace room complete with the newest sort of oilbumer-'air con- ditioning units, and a fireproof ga- rage connecting with the kitchen with- out an outdoor interval. The other side of the house had a sunny bedroom with a bay window, a modern bath, and a child's bedroom. Then there was a tiny study, with a studio couch and a desk—a splendid Idea in providing a guest bedroom when needed and a study or workroom for the family at other times. It was a good place for the telephone, too. Penny for your Thoairhts Did you ever get offered a penny for your thoughts? Perhaps sometimes you took the penny and laughed when the buyer found the thoughts not quite worth the price, while other times not even a hundred dollar bill would have pried you loose from y o u r precious thought! It's quite amusing. Some- times we can just read the thoughts of someone from the expression on their face. Remember when you came forth so happily with your new striped dre.ss to see dismay and disapproval written all over your best friend's face —because she thought you should stick to black and white and never, never wear red and black stripes! Often it's easy to feel someone's thoughts of dis- ^may, embarra.ssment, a n g e r , amuse- 'ment, by the quirks—up or down— at the corner of their mouths. Preoc- cupation Is easy to tell by the frown FOOT H E A L T H Released b; the Podiatry Society, Stote of New York, Public Information Committee Harrj- Sturtz, Pod. O. Chairman.

Beat the egg yolks and A PROPOS OF RADIO By Jean Kilkenny There are certain people in the world who might be termed the \chronic ra- dio turner-oners.\ These individuals are no sooner in the room than snap, the radio is on and on it stays un- til they leave it—perhaps even after, which you can easily dl,scern when the volume swells and swel's and you wish that there were a remote con- trol apparatus in your room. These people, you might justly maintain, are not getting much out of their radios. They have them on from 7 a.m. un- til midnight, which makes seventeen hours of radio, but hardly seventeen hours of listening to the radio. To them radio can l)e nothing more than a monotonous background for ths day's activities—a mere h o d g e p o d g e of sounds In their brains by bedtime. Ev- en Ben Gross, whose mention of a pro- gram followed by three little stars is one of the most desirable things In the world to a radio artist, listens to the radio only eight hours a day. But that is actually eight hours of hard, conscientious listening. It's his job—and he Is expected to assimilate what he hears as preparation for mak- ing pertinent, i n t e l l i g e n t remarks about it all. The average person with the average working day in other fields can hardly expect to compete with him or any other radio editor and for his own good shouldn't try unless he's a shut-in and radio is his life. Perhaps the answer to this chronic radio habit lies in the small cost of listening. We are Inclined to become passive about things that are Inex- pensive and easy to get. You can pay as little as five dollars for a radio and operate It ever after for about the cost of burning an electi'lc light bulb. You may have one in the liv- ing room, one in your bedroom, and one on the dash board of your car. Time was when a very small percent- age of the total population could hear the Metropolitan Opera, or the voices of the great actors, or the music of Padarewskl, the speeches of the Pres- ident and other public oflicials. Then it was an event. Now we have these things at no expense by radio and during the opera we e n t e r t a i n at bridge, discuss politics during the Or- son Welles weekly dramatization. The radio, fortunately. Is an instrument in- capable of being offended, but It is just as Insulting to Klrsten Flagstadt to conduct a bridge orgy while she sings Isolde as It would be to take your bridge party to the Metropolitan. Someone has suggested that it would be a good thing if everyone traded three mediocre programs for one good one and then really listened. This sounds like a good remedy. Tastes differ, so that no program would have to go off the air and the number of hours you would be forced to listen to what other people consider good would be greatly reduced. If you pre- fer Jive at Five to opera and listen seriously to your choice, more credit to you. There Is just as much to learn about real swing as there Is about the operas. \Hot Jazz'\ Is as import- ant a text in its field as \Stories of the Great Operas.\ Meet 'Pedro the Voder' at Fair, First Machine That Actually Talks Electrical 'Charlie McCarthy' Carries on Conversation; Resembles Parlor Organ, But Trained Operator Makes Him Speak Like a Human As \Pedro the Voder\ was born only lecenfly, it is perhnps nslonlshinR that one so young can already converse on almost any subject and In nny lan- guage.

HUariotts Bonnets Vogue presents spring bonnets which are not comic—or at least, so nuis the editorial comment. Vogue always takes a stride or two in that advance notice area where fashions are made and previews them for us. So Vogue should know what is coming forth for headgear this year. And those hats from Vogue's pages weren't par- ticularly comic, either. But some of the bonnets we've seen previewed in the shop windows which are spring wise have had a humorous slant, at least. Hats are definitely small this year. They were small in the early fall—doll hats—but those took more or less the form of a fad for those sport- ing upswing hair does.

Color, correctly used, can help to make a dark kitchen light, a cold and gloomy kitchen bright, and a plain and uninteresting kitchen modern and at- tractive. The three things to remem- ber when planning color scheme are: paint the walls a cheerful, light, but the hats aren't doll hats—just small I not bright, color; use a colorful floor bonnets although summer will prob-1covering which will harmonize w i t h ably bring the usual huge cartwheels back in fashion again. Straw seems to be an early favorite, too, especially in the hats modeled after yesteryear's sailors. Then there's the World's Pair Influence that comes sweeping hats upward in a pylon effect that is quite effective. But these small hats have one def- inite drawback—they are apt to look humorous If they're on a large person —and they definitely e x p o s e one's locks to all stares, which Isn't too good the color of the walls; and use the brightest colors in accessories, such as curtains, utensils and dishes, which will accent the principal colors used in these backgrounds. For example, in a k i t c h e n with cream walls might be used a figured floor covering with brown, soft yellow and brick-red colors, and accessories of brown, brighter yellow and brick-red with a few green articles for variety. Most kitchens ahready have some col- orful equipment, so often there is no unless one's hair is nicely curled or meed to buy extra gadgets, but only sleekly slicked back in place. On the other hand, they have a very youthful tilt to their tiny brims and a flair all their own.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ' Man\ is the subject of the Lesson- Sermon In all Churches of Christ, Sci- entist, on Sunday, March 5. The Golden Text is: \God giveth to a man that is good hi his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy\ (Ec- cleslastes 2:26), Among the citations which comprise the Lesson - Sermon is the following from the Bible: \God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he Is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped w i t h men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; For- asmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or sil- ver or stone, graven by art and man's device Because he hath ap- pointed a day, In the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; (Acte: 17:24, 25, 29, 31). The Lesson-Sermon also Includes the following selection from the textbook of Christian Science, \Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,\ by Mary Baker Eddy: \Deducing one's conclu- sions as to man from imperfection Instead of perfection, one can no more arrive at the true conception or un- derstanding of man, and make himself like it, than the sculptor can perfect his outlines from an imperfect model or the painter can dei^ct the form and face of Jesus, while holding lr> thought the character of Judas. ...

AMERICAN BOY MAGAZINE COMPANION TO THOUSANDS Hundreds of thousands of boys and young men read \The American Boy\ Mhgazlne every month and consider It more as a living companion than as a magazine. It's as much a buddy to me as my nelghboiThood chum,\ writes one high school senior. \'The American Boy' seems to understand a boy's problems and considers them In such a sympa- 1 thetic and helpful way It gives ad- vice and entertaining reading on ev- ery subject in which a young fellow is Interested. It Is particularly helpful in sports. I made our school basketball team because of playing tips I read in The American Boy'.\ Many famous athletes in all sports credit much of their success to help- ful suggestions received from sports articles carried in \The American Boy\ Magazine. Virtually every issue offers advice from a famous coach or player. Football basketball, track, tennis, in fact every major sport is covered in fiction and fact articles. Teachers, librarians, p a r e n t s and leaders of boys clubs also recommend The American Boy\ enthusiastically. They have found that as a general rule regular readers of \The American Boy\ advance more rapidly and devel- op m o r e worthwhile characteristics than do boys who do not read it. Trained writers and artists, famous coaches and athletes, explorers, scien- tists and men successful in business and Industry join with an experienced staff to produce in \The American Boy\ the sort of reading matter boys like best. 'The American Boy\ sells on most newstands at 15c a copy. Subscrip- tion prices are $1.50 for one year or $3.00 for three years. Foreign rates 50c a year extra.

For — you may as well know It now— he has succeeded In sur- rounding himself, both tor the present and for the pe- riod ot the Fair, with a group of bright young tele- phone women whose chief occupation Is to engage him In pleasant conversation. In this he Is exceedingly cooperative, for he completely agrees with everything they do for him. Pedro has an excellent ancestry. He is a lineal descendant ot the first instru- ment with which Alexander Graham Bell, sixty-three years before this World's Fair, transmitted human speech. Except for a keyboard he is built entirely of apparatus used In mod- ern everyday telephone service. But he is not a telephone, nor does he talk with the aid ot phonograph records or sound film, or any form of voice record. He is the first machine by which speech is actually created. How is Pedro made to talk? Seated at a keyboard which looks much like an old-fashioned parlor organ, one ot these young women, all ot whom have been trained for the purpose, press keys, singly or In combination. These Laboratories, the Voder has already proved of educational value in the study of speech. At present, however. It Is offered simply as a sort of \scien- tific toy,\ to interest and amuse the visitors at the fairs. Incidentally the telephone loo was called a \scientific toy\ when it was first exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia In 1876, but has since become an In- strument used by millions throughout the world. One ot the visitors at that exposition was Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, who upon testing Bell's Invention, ex- claimed in astonishment \My God, It talks!\ Of course the telephone doesn 't actually talk; It simply reproduces speech. But since the Voder does talk, it has been nlfltnamed \Pedro\ In honor ot the former Hi-azlllan ruler. me ^y OF YOUR LIFE!
