WHAT EVERY WOMAN
WANTS TO KNOW
(By Home Economics Dept, Michi-
gan Agricultural Collegs)
Relation Of Clothing To Health

Relation Of Clothing To Health
The average business woman or
housewife has so many drains upon
her physical energy that any means
by which she can conserve any part
OF her strength without putting forth
conscious effort must be of real val
ue to her.
Few people realize how much prop
er clothing has to do with keeping
well. Many women have come to the
conclusion that the low heel is quite
the correct thing, but they forget
that the pointed toe is just as incor-
rect as the high heel. To stand the
strain of bearing the weight of our
bodies, and to react to the shock Of
walking, the foot must retain it's ba-
by shape with straight inner line and
spread toes.
AS a corollary to , correct shoes,
correct stockings should be worn,
care being taken that they are not
too short. A too short stocking Is
a cause for as much trouble as a too
short shoe. Too much cannot be
said in condemnation of the wearing
of silk stockings in the winter; a
combination of silk and wool is both
adequate and this winter at least,
stylish. AS a matter of fact, what
ever is sane and based upon common
sense is, in essential, the best or
style.
For the body, loose porus clothing
should be worn. Two layers Of
light porus underwear are warmer
and more comfortable than one thick
heavy suit. The union type of un-
derwear is preferable since it allows
the weight to hang from the should
er. Choose outer clothing with re-
gard to freeing the body from the
strain of constantly regulating it to
change in temperature. A thin geor>
gette waste in cold weather proves
an actual burden, not in weight,
but in the energy required to make
up for its lack Of warmth.
A loosely fitting garment is warm,
er than tight one; constructing any
part of the body means that that part
of the body will be either cold or
will become fat Women leading
quies, sedentary lives need the sup
port of corsets; women taking regAl
ular erercise do not need them. In
the case either of corset or of bras
siere, however, see to it that there
is snugness without construction.

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs Thompson: For five
years I have been keeping company
with Il young man and we have been
engaged three years. am twenty
four and he is twenty-five. We have
waEted to marry for a long time. but
he has not been earning enough mon-
ey to make such a thing possible.
Three nc nths ago he got a better
position and it looked as if by next
spring our hopes could be realized.
Then his employer began inviting him
out for dinner. The employer has a
daughter a year and a half older than
he is, but she is not pretty and he
says she does not attract him.
The last time he went there his
employer told him that his daughter
loved him and he offered him thou
sand dollars if he would marry her.
He told the employer that he would
only marry for love and not for mon
ey. I asked him if he told his en-
pIoyer that he was already engaged
and he said he did not. 1t hurt me
to think he didn't, because that would
seemed to think that he might lose his
position if he told.
Now he is going to dinner at his
employers home again. 1 asked him
to tell the truth and not go any more,
but he refused. He said he absolutely
could do as pleased. I don't under
stand why he acts this way. Since
he has been going to that place to
dinner he is a changed person
Do you think he no longer loves
me? 1t will break my heart to lose
him, but SOMETHING in me says that
he is no longer mine. What shall 1
do? GERTRUDE K.
Your fiance has a small way of
looking at the situation. If he had
big vision he would see that posi-
ton held by deceiving and catering to
authority would not be worth keeping.
OF course he ought to have told his
employer that he is engaged. This is
a small world and the chances are
that his employer will discover the
truth sooner or later and it will COM
promise your fiance greatly. Besides
it is not fair to you to keep the mat
ter a secret.
If he continues to go to the home
of his employer without mentioning
his engagement to you, you might
just as well break your engagement
He seems selfish and unkind or he
would not have disregarded your
wishes so completely and told you to
do as you pleased about the matter.
In case your romance is ended, look
at the matter philosophically. Try to
realize the kind of husband such a
man would have made, and tell your
self that you are thankful to know
the truth before it was too late. Also
look forward instead of backward.
Instead of letting your thoughts dwell
in the pasts force yourself to take a
lively interest in present and future
events.
Happiness ard unhappiness are
states of mind. Don't let yourself
be miserable and heartbroken.

THE LABOR SHORTAGE.

The October report of the Illinois
state free employment bureau shows
zoe openings for every ninety-six men.
The situation will do more to main
tain and advance wages than usually
can be accomplished by the labor
union methcd.
But the Iabor condition set forth in
the report is not peculiar to Illinois.
From all sources come reports of an
increasing shortage OF labor. particu-
larly OF thc unskilled variety that can
not be set GCwn to seasonal influences
or local conditions. The statistics on
unemployment do not picture the case
accurately. for there are always many
individuals who are unemployed and
who are hardly worth putting on the
payroll.
The United States Steel Corporation
snort time ago was forced to IN
crease the wages r. certain classes OF
labor. and other stea companies fol
loves suit. There is little doubt thar
on the railroads the unslxl 8 d classes,
such as the maintenance OF way men
are paid considerably less than they
could 6btain in osi.e- voca,Ions e.
similar grades of wor%. Farm labor is
scarce. and complaints t. this effect
extend sTor1 New Ergl7nd to the Ia
cific and as far so1ta al Mississippi
and Lou ana.
Tho demand '0r common labor
comes chiefly from the farming COM
nunsSy especially dn-lrg the harvest
ing season. and also for the building
OF roads and a vast amount of the
construction work that has been
undertaken this year. According to
n statement issued by the Philadelphia
Textile Manufacturers Association.
the ranks of the unskilled laborer are
being depleted by such influences as
the following: Drift of workers to
other lines that offer steadier en-
2loyment; tendency to seek employ
menf> in mills in small towns where
living costs are lower; adoption of

The ship subsidy plan contemplates
that the government shall dispose of
ships which st is now operating at a
loss OF S5O.C0O.OOo year and permit
them TO be operated by private oper-
ators. to whom the government would
pay about ss0,OOO.OOO a year. But if
private owEers can operate the ships
for s2O.GOo.oC0 a year less than the
government is doing it and make a
profit. why cannot the government
carry on the business for 100000. 900
a year less. and get along without
profit: Advo Gates of the subsidy are
urging the people to write to their
representative in congress their
views on the subject The more of
such letters that go forward the less
likelihood os a subsidy.
