Sister Mary.S Kitchen
BY MARY E. DAGUE

I've been noticing in the fashion columns that the stylists stress the importance of dress accesSo- ries. Well, there are food access sories, too, that are pretty vital.
 Nuts. dates, raisins, cocoanuts, candied fruit, jelIy-these ani many other materials combine happily with basic foods to make nutritious and economical dishes. And they add interest, too, with relatively little expenditure of either time or money.
 I feel strongly that the care- fully chosen food accessory should not be regarded as extravaganza. If two or three chopped dates add ed to the children's cereal can make the dish treat instead of q morning bone of contention, sure ly that's worthwhile. Especlally since the dates add about 100 cal ories as well as food iron to the cereal dish.
 Increasing Food Values
 Chopped nuts or raisins, or both, combined with baked apples materially increase the food value and adult as well as juvenile pplea- sure in the dish, A spoonful of jelly Is an attractive variation too, | placed in the core-caviety.
 Cup custards and plpain corn starch buildings gain by sprink- ling of chopped nuts. Two table spoons chopped English walnuts furnish 100 calories of protein, fats and carbohydrate as well as vitamins A and E and mineral constituents.
 Canned peaches, In fact almost all canned fruit, are made more inviting by sprinkling of shred ded cocoanut. The hcalthful des- sert of sliced oranges and bana- mas acquires new character if shredded cocoanut Is added to the combination. Fruit salads. too, arc given increased food value by the addition of cocoanut.
 Candied fruit Is more expensive than the other accessories but 1t will do wonders to almost any everday dish. Liquid pudding sauces, for instance, take on new character with tho addition of a few tablespoonfuls of finely chop ped candied cherries or pineapple.
 Sauces, too, arc valuable access

What 7'he Doctor Say BY DR. s. J. CRUMBINE, GENERAL EXECUTIVE

a physician sfor a medical exam ination. We find q surprising num- Der of children with defects that their parents had not evon suspect cd--poor eyesight, dccayed teeth. weak ankles, and 80 on. Then, through the summer we try to get the corrections made. Tho par ents are gradually getting the idea, and tho first-grade teachers say there is a marked improvement in the condition of newcomers to school over three or four years ago, before we had this Summer Roundup of the Children.
 "Perhaps l can help you with some talking points," l replied to Mrs Johnson's plea. Suppose we begin by thinking of the prob able objections you will run into. The first one q mother is likely to make 1t that the children arc well, and don't need to go to tho doctor. How would you meet that?"
 q should say. how can she toll? Just because n child does not complain, isn't n proof that he isn't n little deaf, or little near sighted, is 1t, doctor? l know l would never be content to rely Cal my own judgment"
 "A very good argument as from one mother to another; and O.: course there arc things much moro difficult to recognize, ,-whethc tho heart and lungs arc working right n what you might call an orderly and symmetrical way. No mother could undertake to judge about that" "Mercy, l should think not" calculated Mrs Johnson un' der her breath.
 "Then, think you may find | that some of the mothers are in- clIned to believe that their chil- dren will grow out of little defects. 1 We'll, the answer to that is, thot | defects do not cure themselves. On the contrary; they usually hare n way of growing worse If they are not looked after. It Is often easy to correct n defects in early childhood, when it might bo hard or even impossible 10 got rid of Il later In life"
 "That's n good point to make, doctor; think every scnsib'o mother would be glad to listen tu that"

 She reached the bend In the corridor, turned toward the stairs and heard the clans of the ele- vator door.
 Her heart gave n leap as she realized that this might be Nor man Happ. She dropped the suit case to tho floor and turned back toward tho corner of the corridor. ready to cry out Norman Happ's name as she saw him como down tho corridor.

and inccrasing the daily ration month by month till the baby four months old receives a tcaspoonful of cod liver oil twice q day.
 Aside from tho task of such con- stant administration Of medicine and the cost of cod liver oil, there is a question of palatibility, and this too often defeats the purpose. though to be sure repugnance for cod liver oil is n cultivated repuB- nance and If the parents or others who care for the child are wise enough to avoid suggesting that cod liver oil Is not pleasant the child will always take it as readily as any food.
 In the past year or two vitamin D milk has become available. There are three kinds of vitamin D milk, known respectively as forti- fled, irradiated and metaboliZed vitamin D milk. The fortified vita min D milk Is cows milk to which a vitamin D concentrate Is added Irradiated vitamin D milk is cows milk which has been exposed tc ultraviolet light, which imparts th' vitamin D influence to the milk | Metabolized vitamin D milk is tho milk of cows that have received 1T addition to ordinary feed a daily ration of irradiated yeast. Yeast cx- posed to ultraviolet light acquires the Vitamin ID influence; COWS arc fond of it, and they assimilate the vitamin D and the vitamin D in- huence is imparted to their milk.
 Irradiated vitamin D milk con tains 135 units of vitamin D per quart, fortified vitamin ID milk 405 and metabolized vitmain D milk 432 units per quart. Vitamin D milk is an ideal way to provide the baby or young child with an ade- quate ration of this important food supplement.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Are Children Born Nervous?
 My doctor says my children are as likely to be well and strong as are any other children even If l had chronic nervous imposition" before they were born. (Mrs. l.. D.)
 Answer--Sounds perfectly sensi- ble. Now if you can learn to name your trouble without tho quota ton marks you won't be that sort of person any more.

THE SUMMER ROUNDUP

Mir Johnson and l were enjoying q quiet Saturday evening smoke and discussing our local political situation, when Mrs Johnson came into the room, halted and coated for the street. "Whcro arc you off to, Mary?" asked her husband.
 "I have Il short meeting nt Mrs prlce's," she replied, but I shan't be lorig. We arc just going to get our assignments Of families to visit for the Round-Up." Mary is on tho visiting committee of the parent-teachcr association" ex- plnined MT Johnson, that means, 1t is up to her to persuade the par cnts that 1t Is worth while to take their children to doctor before they start in going to school

 It seems to me that Child Health Week is a good time to take stock of the baby's assets, or liabilities. To do this the mother will have to know what par is, otherwise she will not be able to make compari- sons.
 The following is the standard suggested by the Children's Bureau at Washington. Notes are my own.
 The normal healthy baby has:
 A good appetite.
 Absence of vomiting or regurgi- tation. Reorganization or spitting- up does happen sometimes with healthy babies who are nursing. It is not always a sign of sickness).
 A steady gain in weight. Very important and an excellent guide. Weigh the baby regularily.)
 Clear skin.
 Should Cry Little.
 Bright, wide-open eyes.
 Alert springy muscles which re- spond healthily to any stimulus.
 A contented expression.
 Very little crying. (All babies, especially young ones, need to cry some, and will.)
 Quiet and unbroken sleep with eyes and mouth closed.
 No evidence of pain or discom- fort.
 A constant growth in stature and intelligence. Sometimes the for mer Is slow. Racial and family characteristics are to be consider ed.)
 The soft spot at back of head at the front and top at about l 1-2 to 9 years.
 Hears at 4 Months.
 Baby begins to recognize objects at to 8 weeks. Focuses on ob- jects at months.
 Hearing, knowing where sounds come from, develops at about months of age.
 Can hold upu his head when body is supported at the age of 4 months.
 Laughs aloud at to months. Reaches for toys at 9th to 7th month.
 Can sit erect usually at months ana may even creep. (NeTy lew children walk so early, but some do.)
 Can usually walk with help at a year or thereabouts. (Some bab- ies arc more deliberately
 Walks alone by the 18th month. Sometimes later.)
  Never push the development of n normal healthy baby, or any other. If the mother suspects trouble or undue slowness in development she would best talk to the doctor or take the baby for a thorough ex- animation.
 Not All Are Prodigies.
 There Is no use in being alarmed as many young mothers are when their babies do not prove prodigies. or even keep up with the neigh bor's offspring, but 1t is always reassuring to have the doctors word on 1t anyway.
 Regularity of regimen, cleanli- ness and comfort help to keep babies well. All babies should be generally fed and directed by pro- fessional advice.

PLayALong With Children Ln Choosing Clothes sSgEY
BY MARION YOUNG
MIA scrylce GtnH Corrcrpondc

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 New York - Whether she's a tailored child or huffy bit of curly-headed femininity. there are absolutely right clothes to suit the personality of your small daughter. The same rules that you stick to when you plan your own wardrobe should be applied when you choose hers.
 If the dlminutivc replica of yourself is forever climbing trees or chasing baseballs that her big bro- thers have knocked over the fence. don't get her a flock of printed voilcs and silks with hand -smock- ing and delicate touches Of em- broidery for trimming.
 Washable Easy.tO-IrOn
 Garments Arc Sensible
 Get her one or, two, of course and utter prayer she'll keep them clean long enough to get to a party or to Sunday school. As far as the rest of her wardrobe Is con- cerned, look for interesting. wash able and easy-to-iron dresses of percale, gingham, linen and broad cloth.
 Incidentally. these so-called prac- tical costumes can be quite as sweet in Il tailored sort of way as more frilly ones. They're trimmed with metal, bone and cork buttons In anchor, key, arrow, star and moon shapes. and with fine pleat- ing that stays pleated and is easy to launder. For the most part, however, their colors are what make them outstanding. As is true of the smartest clothes for wo- men, little girls frocks generally are done up in two, three and even four shades. N
 Brother Can Have Suit To Match Sisters Dress.
 |. The model here at the right to- day--half of sweet brother and sister outfit--comes in white linen lawn with navy blue broadcloth trimming. A white anchor, em- broidered on the navy stripe down the front, gives the dress nau- tical touch that is charming.
 The boys suit to match includes blue shorts and a white blouse of linen lawn with blue bands and white pearl buttons.
 The other dress (lcft) Is for a dressier child. Made of crisp silk with blue, rose and gold printed floral pattern on an eggsshell back ground, this has puff sleeves, one large patch pocket with shirring at the top to match the same type of shirring on the neckline, and a sash that ties in n large bow at the back. It's washable, of course.

VIRGIN ISLANDS
 DISPUTE ENDED
 BY PRESIDENT
Peace Between Disputants Was Ordered By the
 Chief Executive

Washington, July 12 = (UP) = President Roosevelt clapped his personal gag rule on high demo- cratic officials today to silence their bitter outbursts over admin istration of the Virgin Islands.
 He ended the tempest in the rum pot"-so- o-called because the government operates a distillery on the insuar possessions by fore ing Secretary of Interior Harold l.. Ickes and Senator Willard B. Tyd- ings, democrat Maryland. to call a truce.
 They had been disrupting off cial harmony over relatively un- important matter by exchanging personal invectives in press confer ences and in letters.
 Three Contestants
 Ickes supported Insular Cover nor Paul M. Pearson against charges of standardization Tyd- ings, chairman of the senatorial committee Investigating the alle- gations, stood behind Federal Judge T. Webber Wilson, foe of both Ickes and his appointee.
 Ickes accused Tydings of "un- fairness" and of "whitewashing" Wilson against his charge of "ju- dicial misconduct. The southern senator said Ickes was 'intimidat- ing'' committee witnesses and told him ito confine yourself to the duties for which you were ap- pointed"
 Ickes was known to be prepar- ing an answer when President Roosevelt summoned him to the White House. Then Tydings vis- tied the President. Then Ickes again.
 Both left completely subdued. Ickes refused to comment on re- ports both Pearson and Wilson would be asked to resign. Tydings recessed his investigation.
 Attorney General Homer s. Cummings also came under the Presidents "no talk" rule. He re- fused to say whether or not he was preparing to remove Wilson in ac- cordance with Ickes' demand.
 The fight established Ickes more firmly as Washington's storm center, and brought to 8 total of 10 the political slugfests in which he has engaged since taking of- flee.
 In becoming focal point for all types of squabbles, he replaced pr. Rexford Guy Tugwell, administra- tion brain truster, as the "New Deals job," always in trouble. The fact he is a progressive republican in a democratic administration added to his difficulties.

Location or distance never dampens the enthusiasm of U. s. Marines for athletic sports, no mat ter where they happen to be- says Major Fred s. N. Erskine, who. while on temporary duty as a re- cruiting officer in New York City, has served at numerous posts and stations during his career as a Marine Corps officer.
 From Boston to Shanghai, and from the West Indies to the, South Sea Islands, baseball has followed the flag, and the Marines have been known to play football in sweltering tropical climates when they happened to be there as the gridiron season rolled round.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-07-12

of all kinds are virtualIy. a part of Marine corps routine. Every post has it's swimming pool, it's baseball and football teams. Basketball, bowling, hockey, tennis, golf. track ana field sports are as much Q part of Marine Corps life as military drills and ceremonies.
 sTt seems odd to talk of baseball ana football teams aboard battle shIps. yet some of the best teams in the service are developed afloat. The men come ashore for practice when they can. and even aboard ship they rig up netings to prevent the ball from being batted or boot ed over the side.
 ssWhen the Marines went to Shanghai a few years ago. they found no football competition. The foreign troops there played Rugby, or the English type of football. The Marines promptly learned the game, and oddly enough soon be- came the Rugmy champions of the Orient.
 .'There Is actually no athletic sport that is not known or played by the Marines, from whaleboat racing with rival crews of the fleet, to the odd sport of Hai Alai, said to be the fastest game in the world and often played by Marines in the Far East.

for each 100 people, or about six times as many as there are in Eu- rope. Canada held second place with 11.15 telephones for each 1OO people and New Zealand followed with 10.01.
 Several surprising disclosures were made from additional figures on this density of telephones. For example, tropical and traditionally leisurely Hawaii had 5.7S tele- phones for each 100 inhabitants compared with Great Britain's AIS. Moreover, Finland led France in this respect, while Argentina had more than twice as many tele- phones per capita as had Italy.
 Possibly as a result of its swift ly growing importance in both na- tional and international affairs, Washington, D. C., with 35.S1 tele- phones for each 100 people, led the cities of the world, dethroning

New London, Conn, July 12-- (UP)-The three-day annual con- vention of the state Veterans of Foreign Wars opened here today with Raymond c. Frost, New Bri- tain, the most likely appointee as commander. Elections will not take place until Sunday. Frost, in the absence of Commander Thomas Stammers, Torrington. who is Ill at a hospital, will preside.
 A reception will be given tonight for Gold Star Mothers, which will be followed by a block party, last ing throughout the night.
 Joseph Perrone, New London. is slated for election as junior vice commander and John M. Creme. Hartford policeman, for senior vice commander.

Speaking of David and Goliath New York city, with nearly as many telephones as London. Paris and Berlin put together, actually has mere telephone than the en- tire continent of Asia. Los Angeles has more than all of Africa.
 Astonishing facts like these are numerous in a statistical summary of the worlds telephones recent ly completed by the American Telephone & Telegraph company. It's figures reveal that on January I, 1884, the United States account ed for more than half of the worlds nearly S2,500,0oo tele- phonesphones Europe had about 35 per cent and Canada about R per cent.
 With regard to the number of telephones in relation to popula- tion, here again the United States led with more than 13 telephones
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-07-12

San Francisco, leader the previous year. Stockholm with S1.9' con tinl-I in third place. Of the worlds twelve leading telephone cities, nine were in the United States.
 But America's high telephone ranking was not derived solely from its large cities. Small towns and rural districts in this country showed a far more extensive tele- phone development than did sim far communities in foreign coun- tries. In the United States there were nearly 10 telephones for each 100 people in communities of less than 50,000 inhabitants. Great Britain had but 3.18 telephones for each 100 people in such communi- ties, while Germany and France had only 2.69 and 1.S4, respective ly.
 Who talks most on the tele- phone? We Americans do! The most frequent callers during 1888 were the people of the United States, Japan and Canada, in that order-and Americans made more than six times as many calls as the Japanese. There were made in America" for the period of a year, more than 700 telephone calls every second of the day and night "a total of approximately 24 bil- lion calls.
