 1 haven't a doubt it would have gone on like that until I was quite submerged in my own fat, but it couldn't have been for long. Peo- pie who grow fat after forty never do live long.
 Hunger Is not simple in- stinct. What the physiologists and psychologists do not know about hunger is going to make interesting and instructive reading in the fu. ture. have learned something, about it lately. since I reduced to correct weight for one of my height and age. I have found that when I get physiologically or clinicallv well balanced ration of vitamins daily. I am not nearly so hungry for the things we all know tend to make one too fat. My craving for carbohydrates is distinctly tenn pered by such regimen, and where heretofore I have craved more food than I needed for main- tenance, now I am perftcely satis- fled with considerably less food. To which vitamin or mineral or combination thereof to attribute this, I don't know, but I believe a physiologically or clinically bal anced mbination of all the vita mins and the more important min erals is best.-
 My appetite has not been inn paired. Not bit. Lead me to a plate of fried corn meal mush or a stack of buckwheat cakes and I'll show you, any time at all. But have recovered 6 more normal 1 or more natural appetite. that's all.

If little girl gets into the habit of brushine her teeth, using a mouth wash, scrubbing her hands, face and neck frequently and brushing her hair every day, her chances of becoming quite beauti- full are doubled. She never may be a raving beauty, but if she is clean, neat, healthy and has an apprecia- tion of daintiness, she will be at- tractive.
 "Well, have to thank my mother for that q young writer said the other day in answer to compliment about her shiny, wei gromed hair. You see, when was small, mother used to brush my hair every day and when ] was a little older, she made me do it myself. The habit stuck tbink her words might be worthwhile tip for every woman who has a small daughter. Re member that the grooming and health routines you teach your child "have a great deal to do with her appearance when she is ma ture.
 Teach her to enjoy daily bath. sleep with her windows open and drink plenty of water. It may be quite a problem. but it's worth a good deal of trouble to teach her to eat fresh fruit instead of candy when she's hungry between meals. You capt ask a small child to keep too clean, but when your daughter is older, say ten, you can point out the desira bility of spot less collars, cuffs and other access sories. Also that carefully pressed clothes are far better than wrin- kled, soiled ones.

 Are you the type awho revels in happiness, or one who, when nap piness comes can't face 1t?
 If you get wish and the sky showers some particular blessing, are you thankful? Do you hang the new dress up where you can look at it the first second of walk ing and the last thing at night !? Does 1t change your whole per. sonality like sunshine breaking through clouds?
 Or, once the dress is yours, do you instantly turn to something else you crave, and instead of be- ing jubilant, stay sour because that other something is not forth coming?
 Children are divided into such classes, just as grown-ups are
 We are children. Children are "us." There is little difference. Either they respond to a windfall cause there Is always something else to worry about.
 Temperament Makes 'S Individual
 Not only in material things, but in all the small daily events that make life, does this little matter of temperament affect the individual.
 There is an enormous phalan of people who can't stand plea- sure. Something in their minds refutes it the. minute it is theirs.
 A day or two ago child had a birthday party.
 There were presents and games and q general good time.
 That night the little girl was tiredy of course, but it would hard ly account for the fact that she cried herself sick because her lit- tie brother got into her bureau drawer and crumpled her plaid dress into ball. She said 1t was the very one she wanted to wear to school next morning.
 She couldn't lie and think, How lovely to have the new book, and games and new socks and the cute little purse" They were out of the picture entirely.
 This is the sort of stuff that characterizes the born worrier.
 Enemy to Health!
 The mind flies off to cloudy realm of foreboding, fear, frustra. tion of what not.
 Once a nerve specialist said te a. patient.-"I can't do anything for you. It's your mind, not your nerves. If you had all the wealth in the world, the best family or earth, health and everything else you would still worry about your golf game Your disposition is almost the only enemy you have to entire good health"
 The breeding habit in children believe, sometimes begins witt observing parents who worry toe much. Apprehension is contagious But that certain ones simply "can't stand happiness" is as true as gos- pei. With such ones, indeed, it is often the case that the more they have the more they worry.

It's time to talk turkey to your poultry man-in other Words to order your bird for the Thanks giving feast. .+
 A turkey to be in its prime should be of last springs hatching. This means that it is seven or eight months old, has grown fast and will be tender in the roasting pan.
 Buy a milk-fed turkey If pcs sible. That means the bird of your choice has had to diet of ground grain and buttermilk or of pow dered whole milk. The flesh of milk fled stock is tender and white with clear white fat over the breast and a nice distribution Of fat throughout the muscles.
 Corn-fed stock has rich yellow appearance with Mayors of yellow coarser and not as white and ten der as the milk-fed stock.
 How to Pick Turkey
 The general condition of the flesh should be firm, the cartilage at the rear end of the breast soft and pliable, the breast broad and plump, neck short, drumsticks dark -colored and smooth, skin smooth, fair and unbroken. -
 Dark spots and blotches indi- cate that the bird was not properly bled after killing. This spells the appearance and also means it will not keep as we'll. Thorough bleed ing is essential.
 Short claws indicate a tender bird, one that hasn't had to scratch for living, while long spurs means tough and perha ps venerable gobbler. There may be a tradition in your family that a young hen .tur- key is more desirable than a young tom. I was taught that, too. But now poultry raisers ali over the country tell us that a young tom is superior and after experimenting I'm convinced. that a young turkey gobbler is quite as good as a yuong hen. However, as they advance in age, the old hens are better than the old toms and cost more in the market.
 Two Small Birds Best
 Comparatively few buy our tur- keys on the hoof. though if you can drive to a farm. and pick out your bird from the flock, it's all to the good, Brilliancy of feathers, straightness of legs and smooth ness of both legs and claws. pro- claim health and youth. A turkey will dress away about three and half pounds.
 An eight or ten pound bird will serve eight persons generously. Il the dinner guests are ten or more more turkey will be needed. Two ten-pound turkeys will be found more satisfactory than one twenty. pounder, since the meat on the small bird is apt to be tenderer and sweeter than on the larger ones Besides there will be more chances for everybody to have his favorite piece.

l.-Yes, it should and must. Pro- lessor Walter Pitkin says: ''Thc feeling of compulsion to work is as out of date as horse and bug gy. Today we should utilize our energies to gain a better educa- tion, wider experiences and more interesting ways of using our abi- lities Soon the successful amateur will hold the esteem of his fellows just as the worker did in the old days.

THERE COMES A TIME WHEN
 ONE MUST EAT

The best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft a-gley and the most remarkable dieting to reduce is done in the future tense. Every little while some reader appeals 10 this column for something that will reduce her at least twenty pounds before next month, for she must then appear - as slender as she thinks every one thinks she should be.
 For fifteen years or more I did some pretty effective dieting, in the future tense. l was conscious of insidious expansion in several directions, and even more con- ecious of the increasing limitations which accumulation of surplus flesh imposes upon one. l had no middle name, but the appro- priate one for me in those fifteen years would have been Procrastina- fion. In the heat of summer privately made up my mind to be- gin real dieting as soon as cool au- fumn weather came. In the winter time I felt that spring was the ideal time to institute my reduction program. If a journey was to be made I resolved to take advantage of the occasion to get in some fine fasting. While on a journey I en- loved the food and. firmly vowed to make up for it by adhering to a strict reduction schedule after l returned home. And so it went.
 Oh, yes, I did make svereal act ual starts on one thing or another in those fifteen years of procrasti- nation. Tried the Bread and Milk Club business that called for nothing but bread or crackers and milk each Monday. But, shucks. I'd rather have crackers and milk, if it's raw milk, than turkey and dressing any time. so there was little satisfaction in that. The Karell diet, nothing but skim milk. a glassful, every three hours, was better, at least in the sense of Righteousness sone derived from sticking it out for day, but one day of that was plenty to satisfy my scruples; the day after a ka- rell day sailed in and made mp

 health, with spirit and !. courage. Two weeks ago received a letter from woman-she wrote she had slowed up, and although she was working all the time, she felt she could not go on as she had been. She wanted pension. Her two boys were married, their wives had no place for her. She defended them, writing they had all they could do to take care of themselves without having her around. She was taking care of an 'epileptic' and was confined every day until the sick woman's husband came home late at night.

o.-would I become an author?


 A.-You can not start too. soon dear. Begin using that vivid imagination of yours right away, in school, at home, and when you can. Write the ideas that come easily although I think you should con- centrate, and write without neces- sarily waiting for inspiration. Write as you would talk-write what you know first-you will do, a better job that way I think. Don't try to use big words be perfectly natural-don't let your characters get away from themselves. Do not worry when you are criticized you would never amount to hill of beans without criticiscism. That is what makes us all, l would be pleased to have you send me some- thing you have written. There is great deal to learn, but at your age there is plenty of time to learn it-and no reason why you can't write successfully.
 Q. Do you think we would have a fair chance with life together?
 A.-The difference in younr ages is not worth thinking about. Do not give it a thought, other condi- tions are perfectly alright too. You have very little to find fault with and should feel yourself fortunate in not having other obstacles ana weaknesses to contend with. Be wise and help this young mbn cul- tivate his varied aptitudes and tal- ents. You have noticed no doubt his strong tendency, of attending strictly to his own business. and rather resenting the instrusion of others into his affairs. This. can be greatly modified by your bene- volent and hospitable nature. Own conditions be better for me?-they have been so bad tue last ten or twelve years.
 A.-For ten or twelve years you have been through bad conditions, and for ten or twelve years or more you have been indecisiye, with no self confidence or reliance. and have allowed opportunity af- ter opportunity to pass, Those are inborn traits that take hold of your type. if you do not understand, and ! unconsciously you harbor and cul-

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE

Evening star., 1934-07-29

Needless to say, this is a decided saving over
the old system under which the assistant direc-
tor or the studio casting staff had to locate all
of the required extras personally. 1t also is
a saving for those seeking work, for all they
have to do now is telephone Central Casting
and ask if there is anything open for them. In
fact, they are prohibited from seeking work
from the individual studios
\A nth several years of actual operation be-
w hind it, Central Casting now has devised
a smooth and speedy method of placing all Of
the extras required for the numerous pictures.
In order to make the choice of needed char
acters for a particular film quick and easy,
card filing system has been devised, in which
all the characteristics of the applicants are
tabulated.
Prominently displayed on each card is
photograph of the applicant. And alongside
is such information the persons age, height,
weight color and type of hair, whether short
or long whether curly or straight; color OF
eyes and other physical description.
Then comes information regarding the ap-
plicant's wardrobe, and then her particular
capabilities she rides horseback,
swims dives, knows shorthand and tipping,
plays the piano. does ball room dancing, what
her nativity is what languages she speaks,
what experience she has had on the stage and
in films, and finally what peculiar character
istics she has that might be useful in certain
pictures
The casting director makes further notations
ON the card-what type of figure and what
type of character the applicant represents, and
he adds his appraisal of her beauty
Most of the time it is unnecessary for any
of the four casting directors employed in the
