have rejected her automatically or admitted her conditionally, but lung condition so serious as to en- danger the health of her class mates was no hindrance to her ac- ceptance."
 pr Beattie finds a hopeful sign in connection with the ''antiquated, dull, mangy" gymnasiums-the modern girl refuses to wield dumb bells, and insists instead on sports that she can play after college. But she says most of the colleges are indifferent toward the number of required hours of exercise. She admits that compulsion in the matter of exercise is not ideal, but considers 1t necessary Gas it is only after a girl is working over a kitchen sink or pounding a type writer, that she becomes exercise conscious" Dr Beattie writes that she found a gleam of hope here and there: "The University of Minnesota has a health program that would win any doctors admiration. A physi- clan with the same authority as the dean sits on the board of admis- sions at Vassar college. Radcliffe conducts a personal examination of her freshman applicants. But these colleges are not typical. Any girl who can drag herself to the regis Itrar's office and meet he academic requirements will be admitted to most colleges and universities"

HEALTH PROGRAMS
 IN THE COLLEGES
College Health Dept Under Staffed, According to
 Woman Doctor
UNPA.LATABLE FOOD

ArsSs1ean colleges are injuring the health of their women stu dents. They are developing the college woman's intellect at the expense of her health. Innocu- lation against avoidable disease Is often practically non-existent. The food is uninteresting and unpala- table. Health examinations before entrance are not required. College health departments are under staffed, and many Of the colleges are positively primitive in the mat ter of medical equipment.
 Such are the charges brought by Dr Barbara Beattie in Good Housekeeping" after visiting fif- teen of the leading colleges and inspecting the health programs of 25,000 girls.
 Dr Beattie, the fourth genera tion of doctors in her family 10 practice in Littleton, N. H., is one of the few pioneer women in the United States who are following the vocation of country physician. She had noted that college bred women who came to her for medf- cal attention, were as a rule. pIlysi- cally below par. After talking with other doctors, one of whom, a noted obstetrician, declared that the colleges are turning out wo- men physically unfit for mother hood, she sought and obtained from Good Housekeeping. a com mission to make her coast to coast investigation.
 Every meal I ate in a college dining room, east or west-with one exception-was uninteresting and unpalatable," Dr Beattie writes. While the food was good enough (the old starchy conglom- eration of my own undergraduate days had fortunately disappearedD it was always over-cooked, under seasoned, or badly balanced.
 "At the University of Oregon lunched on macaroni, dried beans, cabbage salad, bread, tea, and cookies. At Cornell, had creamed corn, soup, creamed potatoes, tuna fish salad, bread, and cheese. The only meal ate on any campus that would satisfy a doctor, a dietician, and a hungry student was at Scripps college, California. In this enlightened dietetic age, the conditions existing at Scripps should be the rule and not the exception, and the disgraceful state of affairs in connection with col lege menus should not be permit ted to exist.
 "The most sensational and in- applicable thing that found in my travels was at the University of Oregon, where there were six cases of smallpox Although smallpox is one of the deadliest and most loathsome diseases known to men, it is also a disease for which science has given a sure means of prevention. Any one stricken with it to-day is the yic- tim of ignorance or neglect. It is nothing short of criminal, there- fore, not to enforce upon a group of girls the absolute prevention that vaccination provides them."
 Among the other cases cited by Dr Beattie was that of a fresh man at a western college who was found to be suffering with tuber- culosis after she had exposed two defenseless roommates to con- tagion:
 Had she tried to matriculate with a bad English condition, the college machinery would either

 Bread, next to milk, is the most important single article of food that is available to the human race. It is valuable because it furnishes about 40 per cent of our total calo- ries, mostly carbohydrates, much protein and roughage, some min- eral salts, fat and vitamins," Dr D. |C. Lochead, deputy health officer of Rochester, Minn, said in an ad- dress before the Federation of Ma tional Millers in Chicago.
 He pointed out that wheat flour contains from to IT per cent pro- tein and from 65 to 75 per cent carbohydrate, while white bread contains about 35 per cent water, 53. per cent carbohydrate, nine per cent protein and one per cent fat.
 "The contents of whole wheat bread and graham bread are very nearly the same, but the carbohy- drate and protein of white bread are more digestible than the carbo- hydrate and protein of either whole wheat or graham bread" Dr Loch- cad added.
 He emphasized that individuals who believe they should have more roughage in the food they eat should first consult 8 physician and recommended that bran be used as a separate dish instead of 'spoiling nice, wholesome white bread" by including it in the baking.
 "If it is vitamin deficiency that is the bugaboo, especially Vitamin B, why not have more yeast pt in the bread-it makes it lighter and more digestible; or take your yeast separately"
 Dr Lochead stated that frequent ly food faddists in their enthusiasm cry for more roughage and more yitamins at the same time and exalt as their remedy whole wheat bread, forgetting that if whole wheat bread is more valuable be- cause 1t contains vitamins and roughage, that the roghage hurries the food material through the in- testinal tract undigested and un- absorbed so that the vitamin con- tent Is lost.
 Apparently" he commented. "you cannot have your vitamin and eat roughage."

The day when witches and ghosts are honored has again arrived. The old games never become hack neyed--in fact, the traditional stunts enrich Halloween for each generation. But it Is the party menu that baffles many hostesses. What shall I serve to-night?" is not infrequently heard, especially from the hostess who often throughout the year brings togeth- CT the same group of merrymakers. She is looking for new menu sug- gestions and new ways of dressing up old recipes.
 One clever hostess whose food imaginations can always be de- pended upon to produce something unusual yet appropriate for the oc- casion worked out a menu that had a striking color combination. It was suggestive of the milky way travelled by the broom-galloping witch, the all-seeing moon and the mellow colors of the harvest sea- son. This menu Is worthy of repre- duction by any hostess in search of new and delicious dishes.

The latest in entertainment for
Benny Davis, song writer, now ap-
pearing on Loew's Palace stage,
is Yo-Yoing! And to prove that
he is a real Yo-Yo addict, Benny
has written a new song about
Yo-Yo.
Benny and his future Broadway
stars find this enticing new game
a real relaxation after the strenu'
Gus work of presenting their act
before the Washington public.
The opening lines of Benny's new
Yo-Yo song are:
''It's a funny little name
For a funny little game
It's YO-YO.YO-YO!"
No matter what your age, Yo-Yo
has that indefinable something
that holds the entire interest.
When you see others Yo-Yo-ing
with an expression of rapt enjoy
ment, you're going to try it your
self.
Originating in the Philippine

forms of entertainment which has
