BACK TO ABNORMALCY!
JL'ST when common sense bad at last'iseeiiie become flic
dominant note of women 's tlroiis, jjrj came the Beaiili pajamas
and now we have the Buenic hat ! .'
On the Htrcets of Medford we now observe Kir's and women
clothed in ' RtraKRling yards of f inured 'materia, sweepiilg the
dust from the sidewalk and when a gust of wind 'oomes' along,
billowing like a couple of cat-boat sails to show they are con
structed on the trouser pattern; '
The latest l'aris hats are flat discs which are worn squarely
over the right eye. They have about the same1 effect as the
blinders worn by old Dobbin, for hey cut off half of those
sweet side, glances which ' lovely women are accustomed to
bestow upon favored admlreri 1
Hut the new hats aro termed "very 'chic," so the ladies
like them, even though' tliey iedticc vision fifty per cent. Those
who wear the new models are said to be prepared to carry on
jail flirlulions with their left eyes.
i '''.'
T"!!!? new hats feature discs as flat as phonograph records;
The dise, which is made of velvet, a new chenille knitting
or knitted silk; is'wo'rn on the right side of the head, almost
completely obscuring that side of the face. It is held on by a
ribbon which goes around the head and tics behind the left ear.
! .The disc dr plate lint, h its sponsor calls' it, is riot designed
to shield its Wearer from'sun'or rain, for it leaves the entire
left' Side of the heAd uncovered. Most of the now hats, indeed,
arc designed for io'oks father than for protection from the
demerits. ' ''' ' ' ' ; ' ,, ' :' ' . ' ,,'
A few fargcr .hats' have icrowns matio of slurred circles of
volvcy'shbwing llie' litiir1 between. Others have straps of fiir
for croWhs, with. ocii rfpaec. 'showing tho hair. Others again
luivo Vulvet c'rowhs with felt brims, the velvet with a little Open
hole at the top:
The rulo of reason has apparently 'departed from' feminine
styles and wo are in for an epidemic of freakish and absurd,
subservience to foreign fashions again. " '
SILENCE AND SPEECH
COUTiD you quit talking for1 two ' wechsj Of course you
could if it were absolutely 'imperative; but you wouldn't
want to do it. Yet, a strict silence' fegim'en is a piii't of the
method of correcting defective speech adopted by one clinic
dbvotcd to that purpose.'' Patients are brtrred from uttering a
single souiid for a fortnight, 'ho matter how urgent the need1
for conversation, in order to give the vocal machinery a com
plete rest. ' '
In a recent test twelve school girls and thirty bo.i's were
subjected to tlio treatment. The giris thought it would be
impossible for one of the female sx td cease from' conversation
for. two weeks, but they would
Ktriiin. Oho folt that she just
ami the other Unit she must borrow a powder puff and she risked
for it. One boy rah a way but ibo otliers stuck to silence for
two weeks, mainly by keeping radio receivers glued to their
ears. .' . ' .
, One might secure an intiniiitioii of what jtha ciperioiice
would be by ceilsiiig from talking or1 ah hollr v1ieft in the !
comimiiy of others. Were one1 forbidden to - apeak,., possibly
there would bn tiothihg else one would want to do so much. It
is u voluntary act but most of" lis carry it on almost involun
tarily. Wo are so accustomed 'to talking that it is automatic,
though were it less so much bf 'the fcoilversation might prove
of greater!! value. In the cases of those of us not suffering
from di'feetivo speecli, periods of alienee might prove highly
bi'hel'ii'iiil.' Thoughts might eiiteh up with conversation. H.
i " WHY E HAVE NAMES
NAME is like a'lianiile. It shows you whore to take hold.
It ia a. great convenience. ' Every blijeet and livin'g crea
ture has a naiiio lulndte. Otiiei'tvisc' we' are not alc to talk
intelligently aliout them. ' ' -
Stiino nantea arc. arbitrary jhey have conic into being
largely throiigh accident. In ;most instances there is a reason
for calling a thing by the particular haine it bears. The Indians
have peculiar names, such as Jlig Chief Kagle Eye, Bravoheart,
Lone Wtlir.'Sly Pox, Fleet Fot. "lack Hawk, Strong Arm, nig
Hull, etc. The hlea Is to give the name of some 'highly desired
trait, and expect the child to' shape his character to fit the
iiniiie. ' ' ! ' '
lliblf (hariii'tel's are named in a similar manner ami for like
reasons. Abraham moans "Father of a Multitude)" Joshua
means "Deliverer,1' aud so bn down'tlin list.' In some of these
eases It would seem that the name was given after the person
bad shown' some marked eliarilelei'istie, they seem to fit tliri
well. We have reference to people whose names were changed,
tlacob's luime, "Cheater.," for 'example was changed to Israel,
"God Sfrivctlr." "lloth stand for definite experiences iii his life.
In inndefn times .we do not attach muvli Importance to tile
meaning of lihinesi We are infliiencl'il by euphony and sug'
pesiioil.' Point-times out , of deference to some rich or beloved
ielative or some admired celebrity we name dur cliildrcn aftei
them. This praeliee harks back to the ancient notion of hoping
that the child will emulate some desired trait. H. S.

ably no other group of regular quacks
in the profession nates me and ail
my works no venomonousiy as do the
internists. These are tho ponderous
humbugs who pose as specialists In
vh'atever 'you happGrt to liavd yrbrig
inside. v There are' many corhlcal
things In our profession and In our
modern medical ethics, but nothing.
I am sure, more absurd than the rec
ognition of "Internal medicine" as a
legitimate special field of practice.
in my judgment, arrived az Biter
more years of study than most of
these humbug specialists have prac
ticed, the ml son d'etre of this alleged
specialty 'Is merely to afford trie pam
pered gentlemen who elect to follow
it a legitimate opportunity to gouge
and exploit the credulous folk who
believe that a doctdf must be tr better
doctor if he holds out aa a specialist.
In ttn elder day there were a tew
physicians who realty limited their
practice to consultations it hat . is,
they accepted only patients referred
to tHeih by" pfactlcihg physicians or
Answered only calls sent in by physi
cians at the bedside. They were real
specialists, with a solid background
of experience behind them. Their col
leagues knew and recognized tho val
ue of their help, opinion or advice- in
difficult cases. These honest consult
ing physicians did not cater to the
wlsecracker crowd In fact there was
no such class of near-rich or newly
rich to enter to. They depended sole
ly up6A recognition of their skill or
ability by their cdlleaguei.'
Your latter-day "internist" is a
mere machine, and most of his alleg
ed "d I inmost tc" work is nothing but
the conglomerate of all the data,
meaningful or meaningless, that. the

. .QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The Science of Underwear -
For years I have worn heavy wool
underwear in winter and very light
wool in the summer, for the rpa3on
that wool absorbs the sweat better
than linen or cotton and also that
the air , drJeB . the wool : better than
it does cotton next to .the body,
thereby, leaving the layer next to- the
body less sticky and giving freer ven
tilation. What do you . think of my
practice? (M. C.)
Answer I think you are quite
right. Any one who has worn a wool
bathing suit and compared its com
fort when wet and in the breeze with
that of cotton , knows that light
weight wool underwear is. ideal for
summer, and for those whose habit
or occupation keeps them much In
doors In winter.' . . -
, Don't Give Up the Swlmf Girls'
t am 15 and enjoy reading your
column, from which I have learned
many thing.. I hate to grve . up
swimming for a whole week every
month in the summer time on ac
count of . . (M. C);
Answer If you follow my advice,
daughter, you won't give It up for
any such reason. There is no longer
any question that girls' and women
enjoy better health if they do NOT
mollycoddle, themselves Just because
they are girls. Menstruation Is a
function, not ia sickness nor t weak
ness. - - " ' "
- A Business' Woman's Idea
' "C6uld you' recommend ' to meMa
thordly competent physician or spe
cialist In (such and such district)
who gives the chemical obliteration
treatment for varicose veins at a
moderate price. Being a business wo
man my income is limited. (A. V. S.)
Answer Hum. about what price
did you wish to pay. Madam? I as
sume' that any physician or special
ist t suggest charges a ( reasonable
fee. If he charges an exho'rbitant fee,
I cross him off my list. If he cut3
the ordinary fees charged by physi
cians I feel sure he must be a wrong
'un and I do not like to recommend
him. . .
Eczema ,
Please write something about .ec
zema. I have tried almost everything
for weeping eczema without benefit.
Is diet helpful? (Mrs. H. W.)
Answer First, all that weeps Is not
eczema. . Probably one-third -. of all
cases of alleged "eczema" coming
under medical observation are' in fact
other skin troubles. Diet Is sometimes
a factor. If you will write again, in
closing et; stamped envelope bearing
your aaaress, m man you a mono;
graph on' eczema which' may be of
some help. Send no clipping, please.
Just ask fot what you want.

would be just as bad for Bruce too
when lie comes back. We could
never live such a thing down. It
was all such a horrible mistake
Bruce's going away. It would have
been bad enough any time, but tor
him to disappear, tor a reason that
we dared not let anybody knew
about, the very night the bank'
"1 see," said the sheriff: "And
when Bruce didn't show up the
morning after the crime the officers
began hunting him In spite of his
alibi?
"Yes. sir. And Father Tony and
f lerre and I 'hought If Bruce could
only come homo of his own free will
before the officers found him, that
everything would be all right and
nobody would ever need to know
the reason tor his going, away., as
they would have to know if he were
arrested and brought back In con
nection with the bank."
"You were right "lit 'that; Mrs.
Carey.. But it would have been bet
ter It you had told the authorities
wny your husband disappeared." .
"We could never have gone on
living in orchard Hill it I Bad. And
wouldn't the officers have arrested
him and brought him back for the
brink Just the same? Besides, it
it . wouldn't have bech fair to
Pierre.'
. "Plcrrof The i sheriff-glanced at
the telegram in- his hand. "Who is
this Pierre Doaovan?'
: Ann looked appealihgly at Old
Tony.
"Pierre Donovan, sir." the old ac
tor spoke Impressively, as it re

I "Pierre made his homi with Mr.
and Mrs. Carey. These three young
people, sir,- grew lip together in
Orchard Hill." -';'' .' ; ,;
"Thjs man Is an tictor, you say?"
"Pierre Donovan was born to be
an actor. His earliest memories arc

best traditions of dramatic art. .He

, "And so' Pierre lived wi(H yoif and :
rdiir husband, Mrs. Carey?" ' j (
Poor Ann's reply waa scarcely
lUdlbie. "Yes, sir.'; ;; ,. .v.- , '
"And did he work in tho bank,
oo, with your father and your hus
band?" .
"Oh,; no,' it. Pierre worked' ?n
the Owl Drug Store. He was a soda

"What did you, mean,, Mrs, Carey,
when you said "list now that yon
couldn't tell why your . husband weilt
away because It wouldn't be fair to
your soda fountain actor friend?."
. Again.' Ann turned" to Old Tony
appeatingly. "Must I tell him, 'Fa
ther Tony?"' t i . ; . ,i t.i
"I'm afraid. you must, Ann."
The sheriff waited.
At last Ann managed to Speak.
'. "Bruce thougnt that Pierre and
1 were' in love with each other I
ineau In a way that we had to
right to be. in the letter he left for
me he said ,t hat I. had been untrue
to him, and that was why he was
leaving me and was neven coming
back. Don't- you see.slr, wby I
couldn't ' let anybody know '. that
Bruce had left me for shell a rea
son as that? Don't ybu See how un
fair it would have been to Pierre?"
, "Pierre knew, why ybhr husband
left you, did he?"r; , , . .....
. "Oh, yeai sir. Pierre "and! Father
Tony read the letter after the tiffl--cers
took father away. And wedecldV
ed it wonld be best not to mention
the' letter to any one and that
Pierre must go and find Bruce and
bring him back hdrao before' the"
officers could arrest him tot the'
bank trouble,'1 . .,..'.-..,. -.
' "What made you think that Bruce
might be in these parts?"
."Because Pierre's. father, who de
serted' Plerrflf and his mother when
Pierre was a little boy, wrote Bruce
about a wonderful gold' mine out
here, and wanted Bruce to get
njoney to put in it." .
. ."And did Bruce get money to In
vest in this mine?"
. Ann answered this question with
womanly indignation as she remem
bered how Bruce had taken Pierre's
money. .:
"Yes, sir,' he did. ' He persuaded
Pierre to let him have his school
money; Buti Pierre doesn't know
that Jt is his father whot hat this
mine. " Pierre's father wasn't good
to iis mother, and Bruce .thought
if Pierre 1new, ha wouldn't let him
have the money."- , tt'.'i 1 i
"Didn't the officers know' about
this mine?"
"They didn't know about It when
Father Tony and I left Orchard HIM.
You see, from the first, Bruce never
would let us tell anybody about It..
because he waa connected with the
bank, and be thought Mr. Dayton,
the president, wouldn't Ilka him to
be Interested 14 mines 'and such
things." 1 ;. - .
"I see. So , you thought Pierre
could find yOur husband dnd bring
him back home -before the sheriff
could locate him?" i ..
. "Yes, sir.". .; ,
"What about your father, Mrs.
Carey? He Is under arreSt for this
bank crime, ain't be?
Ann wrung her hands. ''Oh, yes,
sir. And that Is another reason why
Bruce must come home. Bruce will
knbw what fo do to help father. .
. "We we dldri't know what to do.
I I needed Brnce so.. Don't you
understand, sir? Don't you?" ..
"There, there, ma'am," the' sher
iff assured her. "Sore, I nddorstand;
But what- are you and yonr old
