The regular Home Economics

course in child development which
proved very interesting and worth

placed on the study Of the smaller

Home Economics of
Greatest Benefit

nishing and decoration, home SANTA
ton, food preservation, nutrition IN
health and disease, selecting and buy
ing clothing, clothing care and reno
walton, family and home life n
budgeting of time and income are all
included in the new Home Making
Course.
After graduation from High School
some of our girls will become home
makers and some will 60 into other
OCCUPATIONS but in either case some
knowledge of homemaking will be
useful. However. one must realize
that the greater number OF women
ultimately become homemakers. The
profession of homemaker is one OF
the finest and noblest in the world.
The Home is the unit of Society. 1t is
there that boys and girls get the fun
damental training which will later
help them to become worthy men and
women of our Nation. The future
Citizens of the world begin at home
and what an interesting and respon-
sible business the Homemaker is.
Home Economics deals with the
materials of life; it is living. 1t is
more important than mere eating and
sleeping. L. is everyday living in
world with other individuals. What
ple ce shall Home Economics have II
our school program? In our work
this yea we have tried to make the
course apply nov as well as in the
future. We try to help u girls an
swer questions by teaching them tt
think so that they will be better able
to handle actual life situations whel
they arise. Whether girls are planning
to be Homemakers or business WON
en-. they will find Home Economic
training disable. Below are some o

the questions that arise almost every
day.
How shall l buy foods to get the
most for my money? What foods
shall l eat? What points must l con.
slider in selecting clothing that will be
suitable for me and for the occasion?
How can l economic on clothing?
Any theory to be of value must be
reduced to practical terms in order to
be of use. We attempt to explain the
why of things in making applications.
We have tried to interest u High
School girls in Home Economics so
that they will make as many practic-
al applications in their everyday liv-
ing as possible. The girls this year
have organized a Modern Homemakers
Club. They have immediate opportu-
nifty for application of some of the
work through home projects and home
practice problems According to
Simpson, "a home project is a thing
to be done in the home with preparing
to do, and carrying to a successful
result. 1t involves a thorough gong
educational process" 1t usually ex.
tends wei a number of hours. A
home practice problem is a task done
at home to obtain skill and takes
very little time. The projects thai
have been done have included work il
the following; meal planning, prepa'
ration and serving, child nutrition
clothing construction, clothing reno
walton, refurnishing of individual
rooms, rearranging basement storage
rooms, baking and preparing desserts
The class work of the course has in
cluded many interesting phases O
home-making. The clothing work ha'
consisted of construction of under
garments, wash dresses, children
garments, make-over and r~enovatini
problems and a consideration of tn
selection of ready made garments an
budgets.
With the exception of the food pre-
servation work in the fall we hav
studied foods in units of three meals
) breakfast, lunch or dinner and supper
In each unit we have taken up a we
balanced meal in relation to the day
meals, food stuffs and the work q

What are health conditions now with the
worldwide economic disturbance affecting to
some extent the income of our own wage and
salary earners?
A compilation of mortality renorte froro
States containing more than one-third the
nations population showed that during the
hrst five months of this year the death rate
was IL per 1000 as compared with 1871 for
the same period in 1928. The death rates
among the 10000, 900 policyholders of the in
dustrial insurance companies a moro or Ices
selected group OF persons were 105 during the
Irst SIX months of 1881 and 106 during the
first half year Of 1928. One of the largest
industrial insurance companies, with approxi-
mately 20,O00,000 policies in force reported a
lower death rate in August than at any pre-
Vlous corresponding period-lower even than
In August, 1924, the previous best health
month.
There can be no doubt concerning the de-
mand upon hospital and free medical facilities
at TINS tune for unemployment diminishes the
aohlty OF many people to take care of the
SICK at hone by private medical treatment;
but infant deaths, deaths from tuberculosis
ana sickness rates reported to wage-earner
benefit associations were all lower during the
flrst part of this year than in the first half
Of 1928.
The next question which presents itself is,
Where are the death and health savings COM
ing m-tnat Is, are all the savings in mortality
among infants and children, or have we made
progress in prolongng adult lives?"
The greatest gains undoubtedly have been
MADE In preventing, curing and limiting the
diseases of childhood. In the period of 1921
1924 the death rate among children years old
ano under had been cut in half as compared
with the period beginning in 1901 But there
mas been savings in lives, too, in every age
group up to 65, comparing the two periods.
For instance, for every 10 men and women who
died between the ages of IS and 35 at the be-
ginning OF this century only died at similar
ages In the period 1921-1924. Even between
the ages of SIS and IS we improved the health
rate, or lowered the death rate, and only in

Nov rurttc-- word Of cheer to some of
! those who are interested in computing
thelr cE2nf IS of living 10 ripe old age The
ngurss given SSove include all races but 1t
should be reg 1ized that members of the
white rae have a lower mortality rate than
co.ored people, and hence a better chance to
live loaS r For in2tance, the statistics of the
same insurance company showed that among
every 10000 o1!ored people 1856 died in the
course Of the year. whereas only 824 white
pclicvhc,te"s per 100000 died
Evening star., 1931-11-29

the age group of IS to rs was an increase in
mortality recorded.
Let us reduce these bare statements of fact
to leases" in this fashion:
In 1900 among every million of our popu-
lation in the registration States, approximately
17,l95 people died of all causes. In 1929 only
1888 died-a saving of practically 5000 lives
million OF population approximately total
saving Of 100000, assuming the rates to apply
10 the whole country. Where 313 people died
OF typhoid fever in 1900, only 16 succumbed
in 1929. Where 134 children (and adults) died
OF measles in 1900 only 25 died in 1929.
Where tuberculosis killed l. 745 people at the
beginning of this century there were only CAT
oeatns IN 1923: Scarlet fever took toll of 96
cmloren or other persons in 1900 to every 10
VINO succumbed to that disease in 1929.
HESE are some OF the signs of progress
IN the care OF human health, the results
OF some of the great advances in medical
science and the application Of preventive medi-
cine during comparatively few and recent years.
NOW, with more people reaching middle age
ana advanced years, find an increase of
deaths from diseases pertaining especially to
thoSe age groups In other words medical
science, having succeeded in keeping MANY
more people alive through infancy youth and
the lower reaches of adulthood, now is con-
1ronted with the problem of safeguarding those

Admirals of the Navy have nothing
to do with selection of the commandment
of the Marine Corps, Navy officials said
today when asked about the article by
Gen. Butler.
It is known high naval ofiicials saw
a copy Of the article prior to publica-
ton, and consequently it is unlikely to
cause bareback in the Navy Depart
ment.
Commenting on the Butler assertion
concerning his not being a Naval
Academy graduate, officials at the de-
partment pointed out that, of the IA
major general commandants, only the
last Maj. Gen. George Barnett, Maj.
Gen. John A. Lejeune, Maj. Gen. Wen
dell G. Neville and the incumbent, Maj.
Gen. Ben H. Fuller-have been grad
yates of the Naval Academy.
The official naval regulations gov
erning the publication of articles on

"Officers and other persons in the
naval service desiring to publish articles
on professional, political or interna-
tional subjects shall cause their sigma
