Small, Neat Silk Prints Are
Stylish
IMPROVED
UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
P * YOU would have the silk print
that fashions your new dress or
ensemble look “new,” choose a tiny
neat conventionalized patterning,
for this is the type that is winning
the stamp of approval among best
dressed women for smart daytime
wear.
To get the idea pictorially, note
the two good-looking costumes il
lustrated. They bespeak that ex
quisite air of refinement and fine
finesse which is so outstandingly
characteristic of the prettily-femi-
nine fashion trends this season.
The flower-printed silk suit to the
left in the picture conveys a mes
sage of unmistakable style prestige
in that the skirt is pleated in the
latest manner. The trim - fitting
cardigan jacket is particularly
fashion-significant in that it gives
the very new long waistline silhou
ette. The truly feminine charm of
thin costume is given accent via a
perky little Watteau hat that is gaily
laden with flowers and an audacious
veil trimming that swirls about the
brim at the back. Which offers a
thought to carry with you in mak
ing your costume selections for the
coming months, namely that the
fancy frivolous whimsical flatter
ing hat with the simple dress is
big style news.
The jacket costume to the right is
alive with high-style details. In the
first place, the silk that makes this
dress and lines the jacket is print
ed with wee railway cars and loco
motives. You will learn in look
ing about for smart prints that
things you see about you, railway
cars for instance, and like as not
circus clowns, or sailing ships, or
miniature landscapes, or written or
printed phrases, fish, birds, flow
ers and fruit are incorporated in
silk-print design with such amaz
ing artistry and dexterity, they look
absolutely decorous and convention
al with no hint of the garish or the
.ncongruous to joffend conservative
taste. The fact that the fingertip
length straight-cut black wool jacket
is lined and cuffed with the silk
print is a matter of note, for in
genious play is being made with
prints as linings especially, and also
in versatile trimming ways in con
nection with monotone weaves. A
turban with pink flowers adds inter
est to this costume. In some in
stances the newer dresses are com
plemented with hats made of the
identical silk print. Pink doeskin
gloves complete this costume.
The feeling for neatness and re
straint is apparent in many of this
season’s multi-color designs. Indis
tinct little motifs that might be
named almost anything have a
bright look. There are also some
medallion treatments that are very
attractive and distinctive, such as
circles enclosing tiny stylized flow
ers.
New in the mode is a dice pattern
tie-silk print that lends itself smart
ly to millinery purposes. Inset in
the oval below is a fetching crea
tion of the new dice-pattern silk,
with face veil that forms a decora
tive bow at the side.
Speaking of silks for the formal
evening mode the gorgeously be-
flowered prints are more richly col
orful than ever, some so exotic as
to remind of Spanish shawl glory
that revels in superbly colorful huge
florals.
Among the newest of new silks
sheers are conspicuously present
both for day and evening wear.
These include soft and stiffened
types. There are silk chiffons, silk
voiles, silk marquisettes and mousse
line de soies. Light to gossamer
silks are unreservedly sponsored by
Paris for summer. There is a new
shantung reduced to a chiffon
weight introducing wild silk to give
the tussah effect. Ribbed also crin
kled sheers are especially outstand
ing in the latest showings.

PASTEL TWEED
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Another pastel tweed and another
and on and on ad infinitum moves
the coat parade across the spring
and summer style horizon. The
model pictured is in soft, rose Shet
land wool tweed. Slot seams such
as give fashion supremacy to this
coat are excitingly decorative this
season. Another outstanding detail
in current coat styling is the trend
of fullness to the back. In this in
stance ■ flare-cut achieves the de
sired full-back silhouette.
DESIGNER FEATURES
NOVEL SUEDE IDEAS
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Draped dresses in the Grecian
manner are featured in the suede
collection displayed by Voris of Hol
lywood, America’s suede designer,
whose suede garments and acces
sories are pasted and not stitched.
The dresses include a copy of a
white wedding dress designed for a
California socialite. *
Daytime dresses with boleros and
a draped long dinner dress approve
all-round utility of suede. An unusu
al bolero group consists of abbrevi
ated boleros to be worn for daytime
or evening wear. A stunning dawn
blue bolero is lined with red silk.
Padded shoulders with new tucked
and square lines are shown.
Suede shirts to be worn with
skirts or slacks are treated with
both feminine and mannish details.
Oddly placed pockets are on the
shirts for utility and ornamental
purposes. Gored skirts have raw
edges to eliminate bottom bulk. The
popular suede slacks are in the new
short length with wide bottoms and
the regular lengths with mannish
trouser details.
Bewitching Spring Hats
Lift Spirits of Wearers
Charming hats, which are har
bingers of spring, are doing great
work in uplifting the spirits of their
wearers.
Kettle-brimmed sailors in straw
fabrics with candy-striped veils are
liked, along with soft felts with
chiffon scarf trimming.
Many of the nicest hats are posed
to one side to give nice profiles a
chance. A charming little hat of
block felt is trimmed with a large
four-leaf clover in green velvet. A
sailor of black picot has a large red
apple in front.

Lesson for May 22
SERVING THROUGH CHRISTIAN
CITIZENSHIP
LESSON TEXT—Mark 12:13-17, 28-34.
GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself.—Mark 12:31.
PRIMARY TOPIC—A Sermon on a Penny.
JUNIOR TOPIC—A Sermon on a Penny.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
Loyalty to God and Country.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
Obligations of Christian Citizenship.
“For God and Country” is a rally
ing cry that well summarizes the
spirit and duty of the Christian cit
izen. So clear and inspiring are the
teachings of God’s Word regarding
the relationship of the Christian to
his country that one marvels that
national leaders who are seeking to
stimulate civic loyalty do not pro
mote a revival of the study of the
Bible. Dr. Moore is right when he
says, “No bad citizen is a good
Christian and no good Christian is
a bad citizen.” The solution of our
nation’s problems would be a great
evangelistic campaign from coast to
coast. A man like Moody would
then appear in his true position as
a great patriot. The soul-winner
would be more important than the
vote-getter. Why not try it?
Our lesson presents our Lord on
Tuesday of His passion week, when
He met His adversaries in their
cunning efforts to entrap Him in
His words so that they might con
demn Him. The two incidents be
fore us have broader application
than to citizenship alone, but we
may well consider them in that
light, for they reveal that the citi
zen who is right with God will be
right with the nation and with his
own neighbors.
I. The Christian Citizen Loves His
Country (w. 13-17).
The Pharisees, who hated Rome
for its domination of Palestine, and
the Herodians, who supported Rome
in its control of the land, were ene
mies, but they joined forces to tempt
Christ. They knew that if He said
“Yes” to their question the Jews
would be angry, and if He said “No”
He could be condemned as a trai
tor to Rome.
The trap was set, but it caught
only the crafty hunters. Taking their
own pocket money he declared that
if they used Caesar’s money they
ought to pay taxes to Caesar. The
coin stood for an orderly govern
ment, benefits of which they en
joyed and which they ought to sup
port.
II. The Christian Citizen Loves
God (w. 20-30).
Although this point comes second
in our lesson it comes first in expe
rience. It is the man who renders
unto God the love of the heart, soul,
mind, and all of his strength (v. 30)
who is ready really to love his coun
try as he should.
The scribes loved to dispute about
which was the greatest of the 613
commandments which they recog
nized. Jesus astonished them by
referring to the passage of Scripture
most familiar to the Jews (Deut.
6:4, 5), which declares the unity and
absolute exclusiveness of the Lord
our God. It may be well for us to
stress this truth even in our time,
for most folk regard the worship and
service of God as optional.
III. The Christian Citizen Loves
His Neighbor (w. 31-34).
The scribe did not ask for the sec
ond commandment but Jesus pre
sents it as an unavoidable corollary
of the first. The man who really
loves God will love his neighbor.
Every social injustice would be
wiped out and every cause for strife
removed if all men loved their fel
low-man as they love themselves.
Such a condition will never prevail,
however, until men love God. It is
too much for the flesh to put others
before self. Only the grace of God
is sufficient for that. Hence the real
solution of the problems of capital
and labor, the “haves” and the
“have nots” is to win the men and
women on both sides of the struggle
to a true love for God through Jesus
Christ our Lord. In other words, we
come again to the inevitable conclu
sion that what our nation needs is
a revival.
Social panaceas, revolution either
by force or by law, dictatorships,
all these are destined to failure.
Men must learn to know and love
God supremely and thus come to
love their neighbors as themselves.
The crossroad Sunday - school
teacher, the missionary in the city
slums, the preacher of the gospel*
whether in the great city or on the
the countryside, the faithful Chris
tian living out the love of Christ
daily in kindly word and deed—
these are the real forces for social
as well as spiritual good. Let us do
all we can to prosper their ministry!
Sufficient Unto the Day
Do not look forward to what might
happen tomorrow; the same ever
lasting Father who cares for you
today will take care of you tomor
row, and every day.
Living Wisely
Let no one think that the way to
gain the next world is to despise this
one.

careless we are of little courtesies!

NEED FOR IODINE
Key Substance of the Thyroid Gland—Tells
How to Avoid Iodine Starvation
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
6 East 39th St.. New York City
T HE discovery of our vital need for iodine is one of the
most thrilling chapters in the long history of scientific
research.
Many investigators contributed to our understanding of
iodine hunger, but special credit is due to Dr. David Marine
and his co-workers; and to.<^
Dr. E. C. Kendall of the Mayo
Clinics at Rochester, Minn.
Today we know that al
though it constitutes only
about one part in three mil
lion parts of the body weight,
iodine is so essential that its
absence from' the diet may
have the gravest conse
quences.
—★—
Thyroid—The Gland of Glands
Iodine is necessary for the nor
mal functioning of the thyroid
gland, situated in the front part of
the neck. The thyroid is so im
portant that it is often regarded
as the throttle which governs the
human locomotive, and when it
fails to function normally, the
body machinery may be thrown
out of balance.
Thyroid ' disturbance during
childhood may affect mental and
physical development, and many
children have been accused of
laziness who are suffering from
thyroid deficiency. Thyroid disor
der may be a complicating factor
In obesity, and specialists have
found that it is associated with
many stubborn skin diseases. It
Is also claimed that iodine starva
tion influences mental make-up
and emotional tendencies.
——
Disfiguring Goiter
Simple goiter is a common dis
order of the thyroid gland. At
one time the very mention of this
disease terrified girls and women,
who feared the unsightly lump in
the neck which disfigures the vic
tim. Now, thanks to dramatic ex
periments, we know that simple
goiter is an iodine deficiency dis
ease.
. —*—
Animal 'Experiments Point the Way
In 1916, it was estimated that a
million young pigs died annually
in Wisconsin. Investigation dis
closed that their thyroid glands
were abnormally large and ab
normally low in iodine. When io
dine was administered to the
mothers, the young pigs were born
normal.
Scientists reasoned that if goiter
could be prevented in animals, it
could be prevented in humans,
and undertook the now famous
census in Akron, Ohio. A study
was made of the thyroid glands of
all school girls from the fifth to
the twelfth grades. Almost 50 per
cent were found to have enlarged
thyroid glands.
The girls were given small
doses of sodium iodide dissolved
in drinking water at given periods
over 2% years. At the end of
that time, investigators found that
of 2,000 pupils, only 5 developed
thyroid enlargement. Of the same
number not treated, 500 showed
enlargement.

ments which increased our knowl
edge of the iodine requirement.
The great danger periods are
during pregnancy, childhood and
adolescence. The diet of the ex
pectant mother mast include an
adequate supply to protect herself
and avoid the early development
of simple goiter in the child.
It is also essential to provide
sufficient iodine for growing chil
dren, as the incidence of the dis
ease increases steadily'up to the
eighteenth year in girls; in boys
it reaches its peak at twelve.
Some investigators also claim
that one way to enhance the ac
tion of the glands after middle life,
and so prolong youth, is to include
in the daily diet some foods with a
high iodine content.

Nature's Storehouse of Iodine
It is the duty of every home
maker to learn where the neces
sary iodine can be obtained and to
include iodine-rich foods in the
daily diet, but it is especially im
portant for those living in “the
goiter belt.” This area stretches
along the Appalachian mountains,
as far north as Vermont, west
ward through the basin of the
Great Lakes to the state of
Washington, and southward over
the Rocky Mountain and Pacific
states.

Iodine-Rich Foods
The sea is the great storehouse
of iodine and hence, the most
abundant sources are sea food, in
cluding salmon, cod, crabmeat
and oysters; cod liver oil; and
salt.
Fruits and vegetables grown
near the sea contain varying
amounts of iodine, depending upon

the water and soil, and the season,
the iodine content being at a max
imum in the autumn and winter.
In general, it may be said that
the leaves of plants contain more
iodine than the roots, and that
leafy vegetables and legumes
store more than fruits, with the
exception of cranberries, which
are a good source. When the soil
is rich in iodine, watercress be
comes a fine source of this sub»
stance.
—★—
Iodized Sail-
One of the most satisfactory
methods for adding iodine to the
diet, especially in goiterous re
gions, is through the use of iodized
salt. In Detroit, a city-wide test
of iodized salt reduced the preva
lence of simple goiter from 36 per
cent to 2 per cent.. Similar fig
ures have been cited for other lo
calities. Iodized salt costs no
more than ordinary table salt and
is an excellent safeguard against
simple goiter.
—★—
Iodine In Drinking Water
Even in early times, it was be
lieved that there was some rela
tion between goiter and drinking
water, and recent evidence has
disclosed that there was a sound
basis for this belief. Two investi
gators found that the water in a
large part of the northern half of
the United States falls into a low- #
iodine classification.
Several communities have given
consideration to the prevention of
goiter by the addition of iodine to
the water supply. This method is
commendable, but it must be
borne in mind that wherever io
dine is taken in forms other than
food, careful supervision by the
physician or the public health au
thorities is necessary. .
To those homemakers interested
in planning the best possible diet
for their families, I shall gladly
send lists showing which foods are
rich in iodine and which are poor
in this substance.
Questions Answered
Miss S. G.—There is no justifi
cation for serving toast at every
meal instead of bread. It is true
that proper toasting changes some
of the starch to dextrine which is
quickly and easily digested. But
laboratory experiments reveal
that the proteins of toasted bread
and crusts have a lower digesti*
bility, and animals gain less
weight when fed on them than on
the untoasted bread and the in
side crumbs of the loaf.
Mrs. B. s R. S.—The average
meal leaves the stomach within
four hours, though a large meal
may stay for five hours. How
ever, the length of time food re
mains in the stomach is only a
fraction of that required for the
entire digestive process, which va
ries in normal individuals from 12
to 47 hours. Carbohydrates leave
the stomach most quickly, pro
teins are next, and fats require
the longest period.
Miss C. T.—Agar-agar is a non
irritating, indigestible carbohy
drate. As it is not digested, its
caloric value is zero, and it could
not possibly be fattening.
