The jacket suit of plain or print ed flat crepe or lightweight woolen holds prominent place in the spring mode.
 No wonder for its popularity. It is so thoroughly comfortable, chic and practical. The simulated tuck-in blouse is youthful in this creepy woolen suit with crepe silk blouse. The scal- loped collar and jabot frill are softly fiattering. The hips of the com fortably full fiaring skirt are snugly fitted with shaped yoke. Style No. 623 is designed in sizes 16. IS, 20 years, 36, 3S, 40 and 42 inches bust. Size 36 requires IA yards of 39- inch material with l 7-8 yards of 39-inch contrasting.

 Light navy. blue flat crepe with white is exceedingly smart

NANCY PAGE It Is to Be a Jacket Morning, Noon, Afternoon, Night
By Florence La Ganke.

As Nancy studied the Southern fashions she realized that they were featuring the jacket in all conceiv- able types and materials. What is worn at Southern resorts is usually a good indication of what will be worn up north in the real summer time. Accordingly she always paid much attention to the styles.
 She found that jersey jacket fitted and made midshipman style vas quite the thing to wear with sport outfits. The jacket was double

crammed, his hands were full, his
 arms akimoo with things beneath. But when they ran down to re- lieve him of his burdens he waved them aside.
 Wait, wait!' he boomed. Pres ents such presents - I have
 brought for each and all. Don't
 touch anything-I must open them
 in secret. Such presents for all!' It was only by turning sidewise
 and pushing the suitcase ahead of him that he managed to get through
 the door, and he joined merrily in their laughter at his predicament With his foot upon the stairs that led to his attic room he turned to smile perspiringly back upon them. "Wait!" he repeated impressively. Wait until I unpack. Such pres epts!"
 In a very few minutes he re- turned again, his arms laden with packages, each carefully wrapped in
 colored paper and tied with ribbon. From them he made careful selec- tions and carried out the act of presentation with a great deal of formality. kissing the hands of each lady and whacking the men with
 resonant friendliness between the shoulderblades. As he distributed
 the gifts he kept up Q running &C.,

 For Mrs Tolliver, he brought a set of Italian table doilies, real lace, and a Chinese ivory pickle fork.
 These he gave to Ginger to be de-

 For Ben he had a new cane with solid silver top and his initials

SISTER MARY'S KITCHEN
NEA Service Writer


 One of the food products which has been scientifically investigated is grape juice. The report of the ex- periments is interesting and quite enlightening to home-makers,
 Grape-juice compares fayorably with orange juice in it's potency of nitrogen retention. While oranges have been found to be very efficient in reducing body acidity, grape juice seems to have little effect in this respect The mineral content of grape juice is of great value.
 Every homemaker knows the problem of providing the necessary mineral salts during the winter months. The heavier foods demand ed to produce heat in the body make the use of a generous supply of min eral salts imperative. Certain foods tend to counteract the acidity pro- duced when much meat is eaten. and grape juice comes under this list.
 Simple buildings made with grape juice can be given to children and invalids. Such buildings help to vary the menu at time when fresh fruits are high and scarce.
 Grape juice Bavar'ian is simple but delicious enough for a party des- oeit. II Willte grape JulCc IS uSeu, the effect is particularly attractive with q Earnish of red cherries. Pur- pie grape juice makes a delicate col ored pudding that is most inviting garnished with blanched pistachio nuts.

 Frozen desserts are most inviting made with grape juice. Ices, sher- bets, ice cream and mousse mixtures can be made entirely with grape juice or part juice and part cream.

CHILE LEADS WORLD
 AS IODINE PRODUCER.

Washington (UP)-- Chile pro- duces about 90 per cent of the worlds sapply of iodine, according to an estimate of the United States Bureau of Mines. That country ob- tains its iodine as by-product of the important nitrate industry.
 Caliche. the crude nitrate-bearing earth, contains one-haf to one pound of .udine per ton.
 Japan and France run second to Chile ln iodine production with Java, Great Britain and Norway be- ing the only other producers of any consequence at present.

Hartford Mother Solves Problem

MY little daughter, Thelma,
 WI caused me many anxious moments" says Mrs. C. A. Field,> 83 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, Conn. 'She was dizzy, didn't want to play and had very little appetite.
 "She suffered from constipation until 1 decided to give her some Cali fornia Fig Syrup. Fig Syrup built Thelma up remarkably. She is now strong and active; has good appetite and digestion; is quite the picture of health as you can see"
 For over 50 years, California Fig Syrup has been helping bilious, headachy, weak, constipated babies and children. Doctors by thousands recommend this pure vegetable prod uct. Children love its flavor. 1t acts gently to open the bowels in colds or children's diseases. It cieanses a child's system harmlessly and in a hurry. Bowels become regular with its use and remain so, because they are toned and strengthened by this wonderful combination of pure fig syrup and elixir of senna.
 Look for the name California when buying. That marks the genuine.

breasted and had large buttons as trimming. With this, of course, was a sport beret.
 For wea r d little later in the day she selected a tailored jacket of linen, this is worn over an eyelet en- broidery dress. This embroidery Is frequently done on batistc or linen. Of course, Nancy realized that this dress might be of printed linen or cotton with plain linen or cotton jacket.
 For afternoon wear the jacket appears again. This time it may be of brown fiat crepe, worn with yell low fiat crepe dress. The dress It. self is quite apt to be sleeveless. but the jacket will have sleeves com ing just below the elbow. With an outfit of this type. gloves will be worn as a matter of course. In fact. gloves are almost as omnipresent as jackets When a lace evening dress is worn the chances are that a short jacket of lace will appear as a part of the outfit. The sleeves will be short, but will be banded with fur, long haired. These wide bands of fur will be on the sleeves. which are in themselves cut short e:ongh so that the finished sleeves comes above the elbow. once again, of course, the gloves appear
 With clothes like these. one would just have to entertain with party. Write to Nancy Page. care Of this paper, enclosing stamped. sclf-ad- dressed envelope. Ask for her leaf let on Bridge Luncheon Menus.

missions findings. The facts speak

missions findings. The facts SPEAK
for themselves.
The strongest indictment Of the
system As it is today lies in the inyesti-
gators statement Of fact that The con-
cept Of juvenile delinquency Is un-
known to the Federal Penal Code. u
The Federal Government has Jagged In
its recognition OF the universally ac-
cepted theory that the child delinquent
is In q class by himself demanding the
application OF a distinct science of
treatment and cure. And the result Is
that the fate Of the child offender, and
much of his hope Of salvation, depends
upon factors that are purely accidental.
Breaking the laws Of o State, the juve-
nile offender becomes q ward of the
community under q qualified guardian
ship which seeks to safeguard. train
and educate him, rather than to punish
him. Breaking . Federal Law, the
Juvenile offender becomes merely an
other Federal prisoner. to be dealt with
by the same machinery set up for deal
ing with adult and hardened offenders.
And the difference between the violation
of State and Federal statute may be
marked by the geographical boundary
line between two jurisdictions.
And having failed once to seize the
concept Of juvenile delinquency as dis
tinct from adult delinquency, the Fed
eral system of justice has failed again
to provide proper methods and facili-
ties for dealing with Its youthful pris-
oners. The report by DR.. Miriam Van
Waters, which describes the physical
conditions and methods Of punishment
in some of the Federal reformatories,
among them the institutions in and
, adjacent to the District Of Columbia,
should provide somebody with material
for another Oliver Twist.
Here LIS q burden which. the commission
believes. and rightly, should be shed by
the Federal Government and placed on
the communities in the States, which
have made far greater advances not
only in their administration Of justice,
where delinquents are concerned, but
In their care Of those public wards who
must be incarcerated. The commission
recommends legislation empowering the
Federal Government to withdraw from
prosecution Of juvenile offenders against
Federal laws in favor Of juvenile courts
or other welfare agencies set up by the
States. Our problem" says the re-
port, rs not solely to secure the well
fare Of the child offender and the pro-
lection OF society by means OF admin
istrative changes, but to enunciate the
more fundamental principle that child
hood has q status distinct from that of
the adult"
The commission can deal with no
more important problem than that of
Juvenile delinquency. Upon its proper
solution depends. in large measure, the
real prevention OF crime.

Disaster in China.

So vast Is the area of China, and sc
dense the population and SO desper-
ately deficient are the means OF COM
munication with the greater portion
Of the land that Western understanding
and knowledge Of conditions there is
sadly lacking. Disasters on a great
scale occur there and are barely known
in this country. or, If known in the
full measure of their magnitude, are
not appreciated as the unhappy people
Of that suffering land are affected. As
an example, through a Shanghai weekly
publication comes information Of a dis
aster in the Province OF Human, in the
southeastern portion Of China, which
occurred about q month ago. The sit
uation Is thus described in paragraph,
under the heading Terrific Rains in
Human:
Parts of Human Province were flooded
last week and heavy toll of lives has
been taken. according to a telegram
from Changsha. AS result OF inces-
Changte, Anhsiang and SiangnSiang.
IN Northeastern Human. were under
water. Heart-rending scenes were rec
ported from siangtap. where flooded
conditions were the worst The hill
south of the city, softened by the con-
tinuous downpour. collapsed and the
onrush of water from the chasm swept
down everything in its path. The newly
sovn fields were laid waste. The sand
and stones carried down from the
mountains by the rain cover an area
