RED CROSS OPENS
NUTRITION COURSE
Foster Mothers Schooled in Food
Selection-Men and Women

A course in nutrition and food selec-
tion for foster mothers, under the
supervision of the Child Welfare
Board, has been started by the DIS
trict of Columbia Chapter of the
American Red Cross. 1t was an
nounced last night. This course is
intended 70 better fit the foster
mothers for their responsibilities to-
ward the cildren intrusted to their
care.
The group of foster mothers, as well
as other women in the District OF
Columbia, including mothers and
housewives, pay particular attention
during their course of study to care
and feeding of infants and young
children.
OF the Red Cross course Miss E.
NJ. Rugg, supervisor Of the foster
home department @of the Board of
Children's Guardians. saids 81
when we go quito find homes for
the children in our care, IN Consider
ing prospective foster parents, we
stress the matter of nutrition, among
the other responsibilities involved.
We believe In giving these foster
parents all the help possible with
their new charges, hence we believe
in the Instructions offered by the
Red Cross through its local chapter
because the foster mothers knowledge
of nutrition is an indication of her
ability"
A course for both men and women
IS now in progress, and arrangements
can be made through the chapter,

Model Daylight Basement Coming

Every architect and home builder
realizes that in estimating the cost of
new dwelling the cubic foot meas
urement is applied to the entire cellar
with cost factor equal to that of any
other part Of the building.
Thus the home owners investment
in the cellar is proportionately equal
to that in the main rooms of the
house, but the return Of that invest
ment, in realty valuation, in rental
valuation and in living comfort is en-.
tirely disproportionate. This is the
result of a fixed habit due to condi-
tons of the past in which the possi-
bilities of developing the cellar in full
