Washington, Oct (P) - Dolly Gam, sister of Vice President Cur tis, has found the secret of with standing the strain of official social life.
 In the restfuI atmosphere of the lO-room hotel suite which she and her husband shared with the Vice President l learned what this SC | cret is.
 "Enjoying every minute and liking 10 meet people is a sure antidote | for late hours and crowded days, says Mrs. Gam.
 Seated beside me on broad l couch, Mrs. Cam talked Of her cX- periences as second lady of the land. Her blue eyes sparkled. Her cheeks were smooth and pink. She looked rested. refreshed, cXhilaratcd,
 It was one of the quiet home eI D. nings of this congcnial trio - the vice president and Mir. and Mrs | Edward Everett Gam. Subducd tones of radio came from the ad | joining room, where the vice pres ident and MT. Gam were smoking and reading.
 Being freed of the responsibili- ties of a big house and still having a home to manage is delightful" said Mrs. Gam. "I have more leisure for social duties and for caring for my family"
 Two negro servants Minna and Joh 1tNI hUf lar. The hotel service cares for all other needs of the vice presidents house. hold. Mrs Gam does her own mar | keting, however. She goes to pub l lie market nearly every morning with her car and chauffeur. She arises about eight and drives down with her husband to his office. The vice president is an early riser and breakfasts about seven.
 In the big cheerful room where we sat were many evidences of the home making instinct which Dolly" Cam carries with her into the i'm posing hotel suite with it's 10 rooms and seven baths. Huge punches of goldenrod filled the vases. She showed me 10 pavink bricks, which she had covered with cretonne to hold back doors
 Everybody from the middle west would recognize those bricks. She pointed them out with a hand twin kling with diamonds and a brace let studded with carnelians which a friend had brought her from Tur- key.
 It is easy to see why her friends are intensely loyal to Dolly Gam. She has a keen sense of humor, is without affectation and likes people for their own worth. The home making instinct which is part of her she spreads out like a downy satin quilt to make soothing comfort for those around her.

 Exceedingly" I answered. Tt, a bad business and only you can cope with it."
 T think you know I'll do my best" he said suddenly sobcring. and l had time for only an answer ing nod before We came up to I-il- lian who put down her knitting and looked at me with steady inquiry.
 "I can see you have all the dope" she said Lets go over there hy the window We cant possibly dis turb the invaliI then"
 We followed her to the window and settled ourselves comfortably. For the next few minutes they lis- tened in attentive silence whil" I told them the story of tho attack upon Noel which Mary had just re- lated to me.
 "Do you mind if I go out in the hall?" Harry asked when I had fin ished "The language which is on the tip of my trembling tongue could not be uttered even in the presence of the modern young thing iD her teens. let alone shrinking violeta like you two. I.a2y Fair, the task you've set me is pure joy. IT will be rapture to deal properly with that young Gadcrene swine named Les lie"
 Tt may not be so blithesome task as you imagine" Lillian said soberly. "But that needn't worry any of us tonight, It's out O. Nadge's hands, anyway, and off Marys mind. There arc three things to be done now. get Mary 10 bed, give Madge and me a few min utes together. and send Madge to get some sleep before she starts in the morning."
 Mr. Underwood rose abruptly and stretched his long arms above his head.
 You two can have your few min utes right now" he said. "I'll hie me into my own sanctum and induct my manly body and feet into Earb more suitable for ambulance duty than this I have on. But I warn you I'll be back very shortly, so don't chin too long"

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Fly
 geia, the Health Magazine

Americans eat tremendous amounts of meat, and with good req son.
 The meats most commonly used are beef. veal, pork, lamb, fish and fowls. The muscle meats do not provide many of the essential in gredients for a healthful diet. as compared with glandular organs such as liver and kidney. Animals cannot live successfully on an eX- elusive muscle meat diet. whereas they can exist for consid erable pc riods of time on diets containing both muscle meat and what used 10 be called entrails. The glandu- lar organs or entrails contain con- siderable quantities of the inn portant vitamins.
 Meats are not especially to be se- lccted in reducing diets. although a small portion of meat can do no particular harm if properly calcu- lated as one constituent. For eX- ample, two slices of the breast of duck, weighing S4 grams or about onc-siXth of q pound, provide 19 of fat, 100 calories. a little phos- phoruS and iron, but very little of any of the important vitamins or other important food constituents.
 A slice of roast beef of the same weight provides A grams of pro- tein and IS grams of fat and 24O calories, little phosphorus and iron, but little in the way of the important vtamins.
 A piece of steak, that is slice about three inches by two inches by onc-half inch in size, weighing about one-tenth of a pound, pro- vides 10 grams of protein. six grams Of fat and about 100 calo- rics Veal is about the same, but ham and bacon require much less in order to give the same amount of energy.
 Four small. slices of bacon will give 100 caories; one small pork chop will give 100 calories: a very small veal outlet. will give 100 calorics.
 It is for this reason that the meat products do not enter largely into reducing diets, but are ex- ceedingly often listed in diets | planned to increase weight or to sustain normal nutrition, particu- larly for the working man.
 So far as fish are concerned, two l thirds of a cup of oysters, or any l where from six to ten oysters will 1 provide 100 calories One-half cup of | canned salmon will do the same 1 One-tourth of a cup of tuna fish i two small trout. or one medium l sized smoked herring will provide | 100 Calories.
 Such portions will weigh about onc-cight of a pound. Anywhere l from 10 to 20 per cent of their con- | tent will be protein, about one-third as much will be fat. They are very poor in general in carbohydrate The | fish products are particularly valu- able in yielding such mineral salts i as calcium, phosphorus and iron and rather helpful for vitamins A and B

THE TIME OF STRESS By Alice JulSon poale

Adolescence, we hear, is the time of stress" the period when hitherto meek and exemplary children be- come suddenly obstropcrouS and un- practicable, when every situation is loaded with dynamite. It is q period for which we are told to prepare ourselves with extra wisdom and extra patience.
 Certainly it is obvious that these years must be difficult for a num- Der of reasons both physical and psychological, And yet it seems to me that we approach it's problems with an excess of trcpidaton, with the mistaken feeling that they are wholly different from all the other problems of childhood.
 An adolescent does not become one overnight Adolescence is l phase of growth, gradually approach ed and as gradually left behind. That a child is as an adolesceut is but the outcome of what he has been through all the years before, Your adolesCcnt was your baby, your toddler and your school boy long before he reached this reputedly so dangerous age,
 Its difficulties are acute only when the difficulties of the years before have been unWisely handled. The parent wise enough to foster independence in her little one is faced with no rebellion from the high school boy or girl who is seek ing his emancipation from parental i leading strings.
 f The parent who has tried all along 10 develop in her child judgment and good taste will have less cause to be shocked and gricVcd when her children set out upon the gay pur- suits of youth than that mother l whose child has always "tOed the 1 line" whose obedience has been a | blind obedience to authority. The i preparation for the time of stress is found in all the years that go 1 before.

 That Hugh is dead" l said tense ly unable to control my anxiety another second.
 Lillian shot a quick, shrewd glance at me and I felt my cheeks grow hot
 Not a bit Of it." she said. That doesn't follow at all It's more prob able that one Of his most truste! agents has fallen down on him or double crossed limit doesn't mat ter which, now that the mischief Is done"
 She leaned back in the chair, put the tips Of h"r fingers together, be heath her chin and looked at me over them.
 Ieslie'S Daring
 "Nou've had postal cards from Hugh telling you of every change in his address eyer since Grace Draper kidnapped Junior" shes said, not as one asking a question but stating a fact. But I do not think you know that from that day on he has kept up q regular correspondence with mo. I think you will acquit both in ? gallant major and me of any senti- mental interest in each other"-she grinned Widely-'so you probably can guess why he has taken his trUsty pen in hand so assiduously."
 My face was flaming now. but Lillian ignored my cmbarrassm ent and went on as if she were recit- ing the most ordinary behavior in the world.
 "Ir l had been his sister or his mother. he could not have confided in me more fully" she said. Tn fact. l think I've been sort of Il safety valve for him all these years. He knew that Dicky's jealousy of him made it impossible for him 10 do more than keep you advised of his whereabouts. and besides some of the things he told me, concern ing expeditions of his, would have worried you to death. or any other woman less a fatalist than l."
 I hid a wry grimace at her subter- fuse, for I recognized it as such. She is no more a fatalist than l but she was trying to make piausi- hle Hugh Grantland's dread Of causing me pain or worry.
 i've also been able to keep him posted about you" she went on, "oh," as I started violently-"noth- ing that you would not have been willing to have him know, you ought 10 know me well enough for that-hut I've stayed him with flag ons of ordinary homely gossip about you and yours. enough to assure him of your safety and happiness"
 My embarrassment at her revela- tion, something of which I had guessed before, made my voice sud- denly sharp:
 Put all this doesn't explain why Jack Leslie has dared to come back" l said.

Thalcssa, the curious insect who's" ncouaintancc Peter Rabbit had just made, was very obligins. She didn mind Pcter's curiosity at all When Peter asked her to tell him the whole story Of the life of one of her children, she settled herself com fortably. for she was rather tired from the drilling she had been do- ing.
 You sec. fl is this way. Peter Rabbit" she began. "Thrre ar" T lot of people in this world who do a great deal of harm. Thor" ar" others who do . great deal of good. I flatter myself that the members of my family are in the latter class, New. take the Hocntail for instance. What does Mrs, HOrntail dO' She drills a hole in a tree and in it lays an egg.

 "Now, if there are q lot of these Horntail children in d trco it means a lot of trouble. That means that that tree IS weakened. IL also means that moisture gets in and decay fol- lows. What am trying 10 make you understand Peter Rahlit, is that these bor"rs arc really tree destroy CTS and that there is nothing that the tree can do ab0ut it
 "Now, this IS where l come in. I hunt until l find one or these Horn tail tunnels Then l bore down into 1t with my little drill. When I have reached it l leave an egg in it. The egg hatch"s. My haby promptly goes crawling along that tunnel until he finds the maker Of the tunnel. My baby attacks the bOrer and lives on It. Of course. it kills the boror. Then. when my baby has attained full "iZc. 1t makes q cocoon inside that tun- nel. just as som" catorpillars that you know make q cocoon. IuSid" that cocoon my baby changes and by and ty becomes just like mo. Then il gnaws its way out Of that tunnel and flies away 10 keep on with the good work am doing That is the whole story Is it clear 10 you know"
 Peter nodded. "Yes" said he. "it Is clear enough now. But it isn't any less worderful than it was before fully understood it. You really are a sort of tree protector, aren't you?'
