Becoming Designs
Smartly Individual
I F YOU take a large size, then
you 11 find 1806 one of the most
becoming dresses you ever put
on! The long, slim lines of the
paneled skirt make your hips look
much narrower, and the bodice
gathers give correct ease over the
bust. With its touch of lace, this
will be very smart for bridge par
ties, luncheons and club affairs.
Make it of flat crepe, thin wool
and, later on, sheer velvet.
Coat Style Dress.
The “something different” about
this practical dress is the way the
closing is cut sharply over at the
waistline. The design (1681) gives
you plenty of lap-over, so that you
needn’t sew buttons and make
buttonholes all the way down. And
of course you don’t need to be
told how easy the coat style is to
make, to get into, and to iron.

ADVENTURERS’ CLUB
HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES
OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELFI
“The Gray Fanged Terror"
H ello everybody:
Dorothy Dublin of Brooklyn, N. Y., wins the place of
honor today with the story of a terrible experience that once
happened to her dad. That makes her dad, Jacob Dublin, the
club’s newest Distinguished Adventurer.
It happened in Russia, in the town of Ubtchark, n?ar the city
of Minsk, close by what is now the Polish border, and it hap
pened forty-eight years ago, in the late fall of 1888, when Jacob
Dublin was just a little nine-year-old boy. If a grown man had
gone through the adventure that little Jake Dublin encountered
on a lonely country road that chilly fall evening in 1888, it would
still be a wow of a story. But when an adventure of that sort
happens to a nine-year-old kid—well—then you have a new defi
nition of the true meaning of the word “terror.”
They had wolves in West Russia in those days. For that
matter, you’ll still find wolves in certain parts of Russia
today. Then, there were plenty of them—and more than a
few lurked in the forests around Ubtchark. Those wolves gave little
Jake Dublin plenty to worry about, too. For it was his duty to drive
his father’s horses to the feeding ground every day, and that feeding
ground was on the edge of the forest.
Wolves Harmless During Morning Hours.
It wasn’t driving the horses TO the pasture so much as driving them
home again in the evening that worried little Jake. In the mornings,
the wolves never bothered anyone. But in the evening, emboldened by
the darkness, they had been known to attack grown men. The result
was that little Jake had to be mighty sure to bring those horses back
from pasture while it was still light. And if it ever happened he was
delayed until dusk began to fall—well—then his dad took over the job
of bringing those horses home.
But one day things went wrong out at the pasture—and little Jake
Dublin almost didn’t get back.
He started early enough. U he had come back as promptly
there wouldn’t have been any danger. But trouble started
when he reached the feeding ground and tried to bring the horses
home. There was a beautiful filly in the herd, called Tara, which
was as yet unbroken. A couple of times before she had been
hard to manage, but this afternoon Jake couldn’t do anything
with her. For almost an hour he chased her about the pasture
trying to get her under control.
It was almost dark by the time he got her quieted, and still he had
the other horses to round up. It took him another 10 or 15 minutes to
get all the beasts tethered together, one behind the other, the way
his dad had taught him to bring them in, and by that time it was night.
Little Jake Has Choice of Two Paths.
The forest, to one side of him, was ominously still. Dark treetops
loomed ever him, silent against an almost pitch blajk sky. Little Jake
knew it was no hour for a nine-year-old boy to be out alone. He knew
that the quicker he got home, the better. There were two paths he could
take on his way home. One path turned into a road that ran along the
edge of the forest. It was a roundabout way, but it was a little safer
than the other.
The other ran part way through the forest. It was more
dangerous than the first route, but it was shorter and it went
straight toward his home. Faced with a choice between these
two paths, little Jake chose the one that went through the forest.
On either path there was danger from wolves. Jake picked the
shorter way because—well—1.3 wanted to gei home just as fast
as he could.
He started down the path leading his long string of horses. He
hadn’t gone very far when suddenly Tara, who was the second horse in
the line, began to get unruly again. She bucked and reared. The rest
of the horses became nervous and fidgety. Wondering what was the
matter with Tara now, Jake moved down the line and tried to calm her.
But the horse wouldn’t be calmed. Something was frightening her—
and frightening her mighty badly, too.
Little Jake wasn’t long in finding out what was frightening
Tara. Suddenly, a lithe, gray form shot out of the brush along
side of the path and sank its teeth into the neck of the first
horse! A wolf!
Forest Turns Into a Shrieking Bedlam.
Then, in an instant the stillness of the forest was rent by a
shrieking bedlam. The other horses screamed and straggled
while the first horse, blood gushing from his throat, was pulled
down by the wolf. So far the wolf had paid no attention to little
Jake. He was too intent on making his kill. But now, other
wolves were coming, attracted by the noise and the scent of
blood. Jake could hear their weird howling coming nearer and
nearer. When the rest of the pack arrived—well—then he’d be in
for it. Then there would be a general slaughter of his poor ani
mals, and he, too, would find how it felt to have a wolf’s fangs
tearing at his throat.
He stood in the midst of his rearing, plunging horses, too stiff with
fright to move a step. What good would it do him to run anyway?
Those wolves could pick up a scent and follow it faster than he could run.
And then little Jake saw it—a light. Far down the path, half ob
scured by trees, a torch was flaring. Then he saw another—and another!
He could hear voices now—men’s voices, shouting to him to stay where
he was. The wolf heard those voices, too. He slunk off into the forest
and the howls of the advancing pack were stilled. In a few moments
a band of villagers came running up the trail. They had started comb
ing the forest when little Jake didn’t get home by nightfall—and they
had arrived just in time to insure his getting home at all.

Alaska Pays $1 Bounty for
In Alaska the government pays a
bounty of $1 on all eagles that are
destroyed because they are said to
prey on salmon in large numbers.
Most of the states in the Union offer
the eagle no protection, and it may
be killed at any time, the same as
a hawk or owl, but none offers a
bounty. Michigan and a number of
other states have protected the
eagle as a non-game bird and it
cannot be shot at anytime. Penn
sylvania thinks so much of our na
tional bird that it has just set aside
an eagle sanctuary, on Mt. Johnson
island in the eastern part of the
Eagle, U. S. National Bird
state where the bird is protected.
There you have four different
opinions of the economic value of
the eagle, all from one country.
If the eagle is of sufficient value
and interest to be preserved and en
couraged to propagate in a minority
of our states; is considered a pest
in Alaska and a bird of little or no
account in most of the remaining
states, then just what is its real
status?
This is one of the many incidents
of little accord throughout the nation
on the economic status of many
birds.

Growing Pains
Indicate Need
Of Correction
By DR. JAMES W. BARTON
W HAT was called “growing
pains” in my boyhood was
believed to be due to the fact
that when children were grow
ing, most of the
growth was near
the ends of the
bones and so near
a part of a joint.
A few years later
when infection of teeth and ton-
sils was found to be a cause of
rheumatism, those growing
pains were believed to be due
to rheumatism and parents
jvere warned that heart disease
might follow these growing
pains.
While there is no question
but that pains in knees and
muscles in youngsters may actually
be due to rheumatism following in
fected tonsils, nevertheless, it is now
believed that rheumatism is not the
cause of these growing pains in most
cases.
Dr. J. C. Hawksley, London, Eng
land, in Medical World, states that
"growing pains” is
not commonly relat
ed to rheumatic fe
ver or sub-acute
rheumatism (early
stages) and does not
finally cause heart
disease.
"Children affected
with ’growing pains’
usually give a his
tory of frequent
colds and coughs,
and during these at
tacks the amount of
pain is increased.”
Treatment Indicated.
Such children are benefited by re
moval of the tonsils and treatment
of their colds. Many of these chil
dren do not gain weight. They fre
quently present signs of poor health.
The commonest cause is some slight
deformity such as flat-foot, knock-
knee, spinal curvature, sway-back.
Improvement is rapid when these
conditions are corrected.
"Inflammation of the ends of the
muscles where muscles are at
tached to bones — fibrositis — is a
cause of growing pains. Tiredness
is a frequent cause of growing pains
and is seen in children who have
long distances to walk to school or
who stand for long periods.”
Insufficient sleep is also an im
portant factor in causing these
pains. Growing pains should always
receive the attention of parents. The
pains may be due to infection of
tonsils, which may be followed by
rheumatism and heart disease.

Stuttering—
Causes and Cures
As youngsters there was always
a laugh when a stuttering boy got up
to do some reading. I believe we
thought stuttering was a mental de
fect. When I got older I was one
of a number seeking a certain schol
arship; the student who won it over
all of us stuttered very badly. I
corrected my idea that stuttering
was a mental defect.
However, it is only in the last 10
to 20 years that research workers
studying stuttering (and many of
these workers were not physicians)
discovered that stuttering was due
simply to nervousness. They dis
covered that under certain circum
stances, such as the quietness of the
home, there was no stuttering, no
hesitancy in speech. This showed
that there was nothing wrong with
the mouth or vocal chords or stut
tering would be present always.
Instead of waiting for children “to
grow out of the habit” of stuttering,
physicians today recognize that the
stutterer is a very nervous individu
al, one who looks in on himself, one
who is self-conscious in the pres
ence of others, and so try to draw
him out of himself.
10 Per Cent Have Defect.
Dr. James Sonnett Greene, New
York, in his editorial as guest edi
tor, Medical World, states that there
are 13,000,000 (10 per cent) of the
population of the United States who
have some sort of speech defect or
voice abnormality. The stutterers
alone number over a million. Dr.
Greene says that careful investiga
tion usually will disclose that the
majority of stutterers are products
of homes in which the parents are
themselves very nervous. The young
stutterer ’ery often gets scolded and
even whipped for stuttering, which
makes him afraid of every new per
son or circumstance. Stuttering is
really an outward sign of the young
ster’s feeling of inferiority or inabil
ity to compete on equal terms with
others
At the Medical-Social clinic in
New York, of which Dr. Greene is
a director, the child is treated as if
no speech defect were present. The
atmosphere and surroundings are of
a “friendly” nature. However, at
the same time, the surrounding at
mosphere and circumstances have
been so arranged that the stutterer
has to face, in the physician and
the other stutterers of the group, the
real things of life that he has been
trying to avoid.
