Special Dispatch to The Star
WINCHESTER. Va. January al
Mayor Glass has been asked to issue
an order forbidding women appearing
on the streets in male attire. 1t was
reported the request came from an
ultra a-conservative feminine source,
and that it was prompted by the ap-
pearance here this week of a number
Of young women who appeared in
boomers in broad daylight on their
way to athletic games and exercises
in a gymnasium.
Recent heavy SHOWS made fine coast
ing on the hills about town, and it
was noticed that nearly all the girls
embracing the opportunity to enjoy
the sport had dressed mostly in riding
habits such as men wear. Others were
said to have borrowed coats and
trousers from their brothers or some
other girls brother With hair
bobbed and dressed in trousers, it was
quite difficult for the average passer-
by to determine who was who. The
appearance thus, Of girls on the hills
also was occasion for objection from
some quartel:;. 1t was said.

Why is it that washing dishes has
come to be considered the very epitome
Of drudgery? Whenever woman's do
mestic routine is lamented inevitably
the list is headed with eternal dish
washing" Yet, to my knowledge, one
poet and one magazine writer have
lauded the washing of dishes as a
means to finding the spirit Of home, in
one case, and to an actual spiritual ex-
perienee in the other.
Christopher Morley, in his Chimney
smoke" declares in verse lin words
which l wish / could remember ex-
actly) that no man knows the real
meaning of home until he has done the
dishes with his wife: and a few years
ago, following the publishing in the At
laAtic Monthly OF an article entitled
Twenty Minutes of Reality" a writer
declared that she never felt SO near the
mystery OF things as when clear, pure,
hot water fell in a sparkling cataract
into her dishpan-the marvel of it, the
wonder of il.
For myself I believe that washing
dishes can be a real delight if one is
eXtravagant enough. ! believe in econ
omy and thrift until it comes to hot
dish water and lots of soap. Then |
fling economy to the winds and indulge
my eXtravagant soul in all the clean, hot

the materials required for the
making and the utensils used for the

VEGETABLES AND FRUITS

Vegetables and fruits are not lux
uries in the daily diet, but necessl-
ties. They are not so cheap as GER
eals and sugar when considered as
sources Of energy, but they furnish
certain substances needed by the
body which are not given by those
other foods, or, at any rate, not given
in sufficient quantity. All vegetables
and fruits contain valuable mineral
matter needed by the body to keep
the blood in proper condition, to
build bone and tissues and even to
make the heart beat. Iron, calcium,
or line, and phosphorus, the miner
ais most apt to be lacking in the
diet are supplied by these foods.
Fresh vegetables and fruits also fur
nish one of the other or both Of the
water-souble vitamins, and since
both of these vitamins are necessary
for health, these foods have an inn
portant place in the dietary Leafy
vegetables, such as spinach, cab
bage, greens and lettuce, supply also
the fat soluble vitamin which is nee
essary for growth and health. The
bulkiness of vegetables and fruits, as
well as the acids in them, make them
laxative foods. They are valua-
BILE, moreover, because even in linn
tied amounts they add variety and
flavor to the diet.
Practically all the foods in this
group, as well as milk, eggs, and the
outer layers of grains. contain cal
cium. Parsnips, turnips, celery. eau
liflower, lettuce, and carrots are rich
in it, but in spite Of this fact even a
liberal amount of these vegetables
will supply only part of the calcium
needed. Tha rest must come largely
from milk.
Green vegetables, such as spinach,
greens, cabbage, peas and beans, and
the dried fruits, such as dates, figs
prunes and rasin, furnish iron, as
do eggs, meat, and the outer layers
of the grains The iron in vege-
tables is probably more thoroughly
utilized than that in beef. Vegeta-
bles, especially peas and beans, as
we'll as milk, eggs, meat, fish, nuts
and the outer coats Of grains, contain
phosphorus.
Some vegetables and fruits furnish
considerable starch and sugar. AL
though the greater part of the carbo
hydrate in our diet usually comes
from cereals and sweets potatoes
baked beans, shell beans, green corn
plums, and bananas contain about %
per cent carbohydrate. and many
other fruits and vegetables as much
as Is per cent.
Most fruits and vegetables supply
only small amounts of protein. but

and especially soy beans and other
