She is threatened with being taken abroad until the "scandal" dies down, and decides adventurously to go through with the contest. In the offices of A. Leon Snydacker, heir to the Peckett's Persuasive Pills fortune, Marion finds nine other beauties. She makes friends with Gloria' Glamour, flip professional beauty contestant. At lunch together, they meet Moby Dickstein, Snydacker's press agent and factotum. Snydacker is overwhelmed with Marion's beauty and "class." to which he is extremely susceptible, and calls her "Darrling."

Gloria was the unmoved recipient of a series of dirty looks as the disappointed eight filed out Despite a nature inured to philosophical acceptances, she was boiling with curiosity when her new crony emerged, alone. She Jumped and grabbed her. "Well?" "Crazy." "You're telling me!" "He wants to make me Queen of the Screen. Believe it or not, those were his very words." "Why not? What else?"

She don't even know or care whether her name is in with the other swells or not Used to it "There's a long piece in one of the society magazines," he went on, after glancing at Moby Dickstein's fancy sketch, "about old Mrs. Van Stratten, the social leader.

I wouldn't wonder but what we could shoot a lot of the scenes right on Templeton Sayles ancestral acres. Might use his racing stable, too. If there ain't any racing in the story, we'll have some written in." "But what is the story, Mr. Snydacker?" ventured Gloria. "Story? Story? What's the story matter! I can get a hundred stories on a day's notice. Come to think of it I gotta little surprise for you 'on that story. No time to tell you about that now. See me before you go, all of you." Out in the street the two new allies drew long breath and looked at one another. Gloria spoke first "How about It kid? Game?" "Gloria, I've always wanted to bust out" "Here's your chance. But what about the family? Got one?" "Got plenty. They'll disown me, I expect." "D'you care?"

It is widely distributed, being found as far north as Ontario and south to Florida. Related species, such as the bluebell of Scotland, are found in Europe. Plants of the bluebell family are unimportant for medicinal uses or other commercial purposes, although they did find some uses for them in the old days. Alfred Lord Tennyson once wrote that bluebell Juice (from the stems and roots) was a good remedy for snake bites, a remedy that the modem doctor hardly would use. The Juice from the roots also has been used as a substitute fof starch, and In the days when stiff ruffs were worn bluebell Juice was In much demand for starching purposes. Since the Juice is somewhat resinous it was used as bookbinders gum in the early days. For the same reason it was considered excellent for attaching feathers to arrows that English archers shot with their long bows Discovered by Spanish navigators In the Sixteenth century, only three islands ever have been utilized; these as convict stations. Warships, pirates, whalers and buccaneers have visited the Isolated group on occasions, but scientists have been the most frequent visitors. It was at the Galapagos that Charles Darwin collected much of his data on the insular finches which helped produce his famed work on the "Origin of the Species" and the theory of evolution. Biologists, in fact always have favored the Galapagos because a great many of its animal and plant forms are peculiar to the islands alone. Thus It is estimated that 06 per cent of the reptiles are unique. Similarly 37 per cent of all species of shore fish and 40 per cent of the plants are characteristic of the Islands. The shores of the larger Galapagos Islands are low, but In the 5,000 balanced diet at this time, the result may be an unstable nervous system, poor physical development, lowered vitality and inability to fight off infections. This lack of strong re-sistance may open f f ' the way to dental I I X disease and to a variety of other serious infections as well. It has also been established that if a girl is poorly nourished during these years of rapid development, there may not be the slightest indication of that fact until she first becomes an expectant mother. Then she will pay for her mother's lack of nutrition know- Calcium-Ric- Foods Required h Leading nutrition authorities hold that the average American diet is more deficient in calcium, perhaps, than in any other single nutrient. This is especially likely to be the case in the diet of the adolescent. For at that time, boys develop prodigious appetites and a tremendous capacity for carbohyg drates or foods, while girls become extremely finicky. Either they do not take enough food at meals, or they tend to eat too many rich mixtures between meals. As a result, the diet of both boys and girls is likely to contain an abundance of meat, fish, highly milled cereals and other refined foods, with inadequate amounts of the foods rich in calcium. kV CtJ energy-producin- ledge. The Adolescent's Results of Calcium Deficiency If her diet has been deficient in calcium, for example, her pelvic bones may be imperfectly developed, so that she suffers unnecessarily during the birth of her child. And if liberal amounts of calcium have not been stored in her body, she may be called upon to make needless sacrifices from her own body in the interests of her child. It is well known that if an expectant mother's diet is not abundantly supplied with calcium, the substance will be withdrawn from her own bones and teeth in an effort to meet the needs of the developing child. An Aid to Dental Health For although expectant mothers are not always aware of this important fact, it is true that the first or "baby" teeth are developed within the jaw during prenatal life, and the foundations for the second set are also laid at this time. Unless the expectant mother's diet 13 very generously supplied Diet To balance the diet properly, these necessary protein and energy foods should be supplement ed by milk and cheese which are rich in calcium; by green leafy vegetables which are also a good source; by eggs and fruits, valued for their minerals and vitamins; and by bulky foods which supply sufficient cellulose to help pro when the supply of tooth paste or powder runs low, and see that it is replaced. For it is surprising how few children can be persuaded to brush their teeth properly without an agreeable dentifrice! Mothers should take care to choose a dentifrice thai will preserve or restore luster in the teeth. For adolescents are extremely sensitive about their appearance and they must not be allowed to permit dingy teeth to spoil their smiles. If mothers will feed their adolescents a correct diet and supervise their daily dental care, the coming generation will not only be more attractive to look at but should more abundant enjoy health.

Mothers of adolescent children should make a conscientious and determined effort to feed them a diet rich in calcium and vitamins A, C and D the substances required, especially, for maintaining sound, bealthy teeth. If milk and succulent fruits and vegetables figure prominently in the daily menus of the adolescent girl, they will go a long way toward helping to correct the "choosy" attitude toward food from which many older children suffer. And if careful attention to diet is coupled with careful attention to sound hygienic habits, the health of our 'teen-ag- e boys and girls will be greatly improved, qubcIlv .
