Beulah, you are a lucky girl. You
ever you find that making your own
home doesn't keep you busy you will be
well equipped to 60 out and make a
! living.
The college courses in dietetics nat
urany include cooking and domestic
science. There are great many jobs
for graduate dieticians. Every hospital
employs one to take charge of its
menus. Most big schools have dieti-
clans. AS a rule, the cooking depart
ment of a newspaper or magazine is in
the charge of dietician. Some hotels
employ them. Several manufacturers
OF food products employ dieticians to
experiment with their product For in
stance, Gamer of pineapple employs
an expert to get up new ways of serv-
ing pineapple and of combining it with
| other food. Several large advertising
agencies employ dieticians in order to
give better service to their customers
who advertise foods.
One newspaper for instance, has a
pig experimental kitchen. The head of
IL Is a dietician. and usually there are
one or two assistant dieticians who
work there. They experiment with
recipes for the household page, and
nearly every day they turn out some
thing good that's distributed to lucky
hungry people on the paper.
So you see there are ever so many
jobs for a girl who likes to cook and
who enjoys feeding people, but only
provided she has added to that liking
thorough professional training.
Some universities have night courses
! in dietetics, so that a girl who Is work
ing at something else can take this up
when she Is through with the days
work. Most night study is exhausting
but If you like to cook such a course
would not be firing. On the contrary,
1t would rest you. That's the way in
spired cooks are. They get tired of
other things; but never of cooking.

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLIsTER.
Streaky Windows.

IT have had trouble cleaning win
dows," writes J. B. IT have tried vari-
Gus methods but the windows always
look streaky when the light strikes
them. Do you think the trouble could
be with the window glass?"
Probably the trouble is not with the
glass, but with the method used in
cleaning. Streakiness usually results
from the use of too much water. II you
use enough water to run down the glass
they are sure to look streaky. It Is
usually best not to use soap on windows.
Use clear water with little alcohol or
ammonia. You may use kerosene in the
water, but that has an unpleasant odor
You may use washing soda in the water,
but that is hard on the hands. Use
clean cloths free from lint and wash
cloth to moiSten. AS soon as you have
removed all dirt take soft dry cloth
and wipe thoroughly. 1t Is a good plan
to have some soft tissue paper to use
after you have used the dry cloth to poll
iSh the windows.
Some housewives clean windows by
applying fine Scourer with Just enough
water to make paste. This is allowed
to dry on the window and is then rubbed
off with soft cloth
Windows may be kept looking clean
much longer between regular cleaning
times If the insides are regularly busted
every day or two. This should be done
with soft, dry busting cloth. If spot
or streak occurs that cannot be wiped
of with the buster 1t may be removed
with a cloth moistened with a little
alcohol.

Everyday Psychology
Diversion.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRoWLs.

Diversion.
II you are pesSimist. you will agree
with those philosophers who hold that
we take diversion to escape life. II you
are an optimist, you will agree with
those philosophers who hold that we
take diversion to get more life.
Why diversion anyway? We need 1t
in order to shift the center of gravita-
ton. Working at one job all the time
makes us sore in the spot where the
burdens Of life press constantly. AS a
child. the one big ambition was to get
on all-fours and stand erect. That was
diversion. Then came the craving for
long trousers and long skirts, for sus-
penders and rouge. These make one
feel different, for the center of mental
gravity shifts to a new plane. Put your
feet on your office desk, and the heart
gets rest. The center of gravity for
the blood Is shifted to an easy flood
plain Sleep comes about for the same
reason.
1t is easy to understand that we get
tired of one thing because our brain
can't stand the stress of concentration.
The brain developed in strata or layers,
as we grew up from the animal stage.
The strata or layers which came late in
the process of evolution tire first. When
they are fatigued, we long to slip back
to the older Strata-flshing, hunting,
playing, and even acting silly.
So If you take perfectly general view
of the whole question of diversion. you
can understand that evolution is diver
sion.

Treatment for Bunions.

Dear Miss Leeds.--Will you please tell
me what causes bunions? am only a
young girl of Il and find that I am get
ting bunions. Is there any way to pre-
vent their coming?
JUST FOURTEEN.
Answer-The most frequent cause of
bunions is improperly fitted shoes. The
normal position Of the great toe Is
straight forward. Short shoes cause the
toes to curl under, while narrow shoes
crowd them together so that one toe
may be pushed up out of alignment
with the others Shoes with a straight
inner line will help prevent bunions.
At bedtime soak the feet in hot water,
rinse well and dry and then paint the
bunions with a lotion made of equal
parts Of belladonna and iodine. Dur
ing the day wear bunion pads.
You are very young to be troubled
with foot deformities such as bunions,
and it might be advisable for you to see
a reliable chiropodist Above all, make
sure that your shoes are fitted properly.

Corporal Coyle post was honored at the New Haven County American Legion meeting in the Chase audi torium on Grand street last night when Il certificate of meritorious service was presented Commander Bernhard Wilhelm by District Com mander Arthur l..

 The certificate was presented for the posts having ranked second highest in the department, scoring 87O points out of a possible 1000. The award was for general excel 1ence in all-around legion activities, both in service to the organization and to the community.
 Colonel Charles E. Lockhart of New Haven, a member of the execu- tive committee spoke on the cash bonus urging all posts to make q canvass of their members and to re- port to the state department as soon us possible on the concensus of opinion on the matter of adjusted service compensation.

THE WATERVILLE
 POLICE STATION
Will Be Used As Branch Station of Silas BrOn-
 son Library
IN HANDS OF COMMITTEE

The vote passed at the fire board meeting yesterday afternoon turn ing part of the fire station building in Waterville over to the Silas Bron- son library shows that the intention of the library is to move from the Carney block to new quarters. The matter has been in the hands of committee consisting of F. $. Chase, John A. Coe and the librarian for some time past. The proposed new quarters were originally intended as a police station and is equipped with lockers and other fixtures for place of that sort.
 The modern system of transpor- tation, which practically annihilates distance, and the prohibition act, which did away with liquor, always a prolific source of disturbance everywhere, created q new order of things in many places as well as in Waterbury, and the city finding no use for a police station in Water vile decided to convert it into branch station of the library. This is why it has been decided to make change, not because there was any fault found with where the library has been located for over twenty years. It will take some time to re- move the lockers and fit 1t up for library purposes. It is understood that no rent will be charged. This will make the third time the library has been benefited by the use of fire stations, the others being on Baldwin street and Bank street, Brooklyn
