goes to prove that decided innova-
tion has taken place so far as the
new patternings are concerned. in that
the gay stripes, plaids and paisleys
are distinct departure from the
usual florals which for so long a time
have held the center of the stage.
The plaid silk which fashions the
modish afternoon dress in the picture
is choicely conservative at the same
time that it Is decidedly modern in it's
technique. The wavy lines which so
delicately and gracefully trace plaid
patterning are black against pale
blue background with tiny red dots
scattered in pretty confusion through
out the entire design.
Black buttons effectively trim this
frock and the color scheme is further
stressed in that black belt, black
scarf and black gloves are worn with
this costume.

When neither the food supply nor
the purse limits the selection of food,
1t is possible to afford so large a
variety that the homemaker may
choose somewhat at random within
each of the food groups and be rea-
sonably sure of meeting the food re-
quirements of the family. When. as
In the drought-affected regions, variety
must be greatly curtailed because of
food shortage and lack of ready cash,
1t is necessary to weigh with the ut
most care the contributions made by
each food material to the dietary. The
subcommittee on nutrition, working
under the direction of the national
drought relief committee. which in
cludes representatives of the cO-opera-
tive extension service and the bureau
of home economics of the United
States Department Of Agriculture, has
prepared list of DDS that for the
money invested in them offer good or
excellent returns, in terms of vitamins,
protein, and minerals. This list is part
of the material assembled to aid pro-
fessional nutrition workers who are
called on to advise families in the
sections where one-sided diets are
common.

Tasty CONNECTION May Be
Made of Pumpkin

A delightful CONNECTION may be
made of 1-inch squares of pared pump
kin. To pound ofthese pieces, three
quarters pound of sugar is added, and
allowed to stand overnight. In the
morning the strip may be drained off
and cooked until it coats the spoon,
after which the pumpkin, one lemon,
and tablespoonful of preserved ginger
are added, and boiled until the pump
kin is clear. The pumpkin should be
simmered until the strip is absorbed,
and then lifted out and drained first on
plates, then on a screen covered with
cloth. When it is no longer sticky,
it is rolled in granulated sugar and
packed in glass jars.

Important Vitamins in Low-Cost Foods

The food groups mentioned by the
committee are: Cereals, milk and
cheese, eggs, lean meat and fish,
fruits and vegetables, sugars, fats.
Among the inexpensive protective
foods listed. with a rough indication of
what each furnishes to the diet, are
included: Milk, eggs, lean muscle
meat, liver. kidney, fish, shellfish. veg
etables, including tomatoes, thin green
leafy vegetables. potatoes, and certain
root vegetables. dried peas and beans,
fruits, whole-wheat products; wheat
germ, rice polish, molasses, not highly

which can be grown on the farm, are
recommended In addition to the
cereals, fats, and sweet foods on which
too many families depend entirely.

When It's Time to Lay Politics Aside

Great Britain is rising to meet its financial crisis.
Parliament is pruning down the nations costs and econo-
my is the word.
Prime Minister Macdonald hasn't minced his words
about there being a crisis. He and those who were his
foes short weeks ago are working side by side to stabilize
the kingdom.
Save for some disgruntled laborites, members of the
party acDonald formed and nursed to power, politics
has been laid aside and all have worked for the com
mon cause-Great Britain.
In New York state there are indications that politics
will be laid aside and that all will work to relieve the
states unemployed. Gov. Franklin ID. Roosevelt has a
program for the needy. From republican headquarters
this week came orders that the party must not obstruct
the democratic governors program to help the jobless
and the hungry. Be that good politics, it's good coopera-
ton too
And now's the time for political foes to lay aside
their personal differences and pull together.

Daily Health
Talk

Sir Humphrey Rolleston Is con-
vinced, as are also practically all
who have made a scientific study
OF the subject. that heredity Is the
most important factor In determin-
ing the span of life. Among 1874
persons whose parents both lived
more than 80 years the average
age AZ death was SGT years whereas
among i28 persons whose parents
died before so years Of age the
average life was 1928 years.
Only recently have scientific
biologists begun TO apply the ex-
lerimental method in an endeavor
20 learn the factors that actually
control the duration or life. Many
" the most important studies have
been made in the department OF
biometry and vital statistics OF the
School Of Hygiene and Public
Health OF Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity. The life cycle of the ordinary
fruit fly Is a short one. The average
age of a generation Is . to III days.
After years Of study On the life
OF this fly the investigators were
able to develop experiments which
showed the factors governing the
duration Of life.
II was found for instance that
the rate Of mortality was profound
" influenced by the density or the
population. When a certain num-
Der OF the flies together occupied
a limited space such as was repre-
sented BY the bottle in which they
we're grown. the volume OF air. the
volume OF food and the r e Of
food surface being constant. the
crowdinr definitely influenced the
rate at which the flies died. When
ever the optimal density was ex-
ceeded the death rate increased.
In an endeavOr to determine
what 1t Is that Is inherited thar
makes one family live longer than
another, Professor Raymond Pearl
or the Johns Hopkins University
concluded that the thing might be
characterized as inherent vitality"
The human being Is conceived rs
an aggregation OF matter that
has the property Of automatically
changing food or energy into heat,
work. component matter OF itself,
or waste. Obviously human beings
are differently organized and vary
In the manner In which they
utilize the products OF the earth in
sustaining life. The inherent vital
ity is the total potential capacity
OF the organism to perform ac-
lions necessary TO life.
OF course, the more ranidlv the
person uses 10 his inherent vitality
tn more likely he Is to die soon.
