Milk Ranks Highest in Both Requirements
and Is Therefore Recommended by All
Expert Nutritionists.

vegetables the quality Is good, but the
quantity is negligible. Almost any Of
the grains, when combined with milk,
as for cereal, provides a good protein
combination. The same Is true of
macaron. and cheese or vegetables
scalloped in cheese or milk.
pROTEIN is absolutely necessary
for life-and it Is substance
that cannot be stored in the body for
future use, as is fat. Children must
have protein to build their bodies
and adults need it to repair damages
caused by the wear and tear of living.
Too much protein, however, is not
good thing-the excess must be dis
posed of, and this is apt to give seri-
Gus trouble. Therefore the careful
menu planner will see that just
enough and not too much of the
amino acids are included in the daily
meals.
The amount of proteins required
by the individual is largely to be de-
termined by the general condition
and activity Of that individual. Peo-
pie who lead active lives out Of doors
can use more proteins than their op-
poSites who head quiet, sedentary
life. Large people need more protein
than smaller ones. Children, of course,
need proportionately more than adults,
for they are growing and using ma
terial to build as well as to keep in
repair. That is why all nutritionists
recommend for children a quart of
milk each day-milk Is perhaps the
most perfect of all the protein foods.
For the average adult, leading an
average life, dietary experts say that
one or two servings of protein-rich
foods per day is enough, not counting
milk. The proteins must, however,
be OF really high quality. An egg
for breakfast, meat for dinner, bread,
cereals, vegetables and fruits-this
should give most people an ample
supply of the needed proteinS. for the
day. Without meat, fish, eggs or
cheese other proteins are needed
nuts or a nut loaf, soy beans, and
more milk and vegetables.
X
CHOWDERS are good sources of
proteins. These may be made of
fish or sea food, vegetables and milk.
Other good combination dishes, that
fill the bill in the amino acids re-
spect, are meat and vegetable stews,
meat loaves. shepherds pie: Goldfish
with spaghetti and tomatoes, creamed
finnan haddie, cheese toast, corn, to-
matoes and cheese on toast, tomato
rarebit, cheese souffle, macaroni and
cheese. corn pudding, peanut loaf,
scalloped onions and peanuts, chilli
con carne and soy beans.
Batter breads and mullins are good
sources of proteins, and all cakes,
custards and desserts have high food
value in this line. Nuts added to
cakes, bread or dessert, of course,
lend the mixture greater protein con-
tent.

sCHICKIE, come now. Time for
~ lunch"
Chickie looked up at the sound OF
her mothers voice, but gave no sign
of needing it. In few minutes her
mother called again: "Chickie, come.
It is lunch time. Come right away"
"All right" said Chickie, and re-
turned to her play.
Again mother called: "Chickie, you
hear meP II you don't come in here
this minute I'll spank you. All right.
Just wait until I get you. You COM
tng?"
"An right. In a minute"
The minute passed, and many min
utes followed. 1t and still Chickie re-
manned absorbed in the pit she was
digging. At last her mother went for
her. Come along, you bad girl. Didn't
you hear me calling you? You ought
to get a good spanking. Hurry up.
There are dumpnngs for lunch"
Would Chickie come next time when
she was called because Of this ex-
perience? I doubt it. If anything
she would delay longer if possible. She
would 90 blisSfully on with her own
affairs and wait for her mother to call
and call and finally come after her.
She would have no faith in the prom
ised punishment. Mothers threats
never materialized.
Threats are worse than useless,
when they are not promptly carried
out. If a child is told that punish
ment will follow certain actions, and
that punishment fails to come, ne Will
disregard the word of the one who
threatens. He will be confirmed in
his disobedience. He will write down
on the tablets of his mind that threats
are Just words and the person who
utters them is nobody important in
his life. A man or a woman Is judged
by his faith in his own word. If he
breaks that faith he has no word and
is consequently disregarded as an in
f1uence in any situation that concerns
him.
Children are quick to act on this
notion. They calmly ignore the one
who threatens and never acts. They
obey promptly the one who does not
threat, but who acts promptly. One
day, during a school recess the bell
rang for the end Of the session. A
little boy looked up from his game of
marbles and asked: Who's ringing?"
Miss Cora" was the reply, "and
she says if we don't come on the
minute she'll make us stay in for an
hour this afternoon"
20. pooh! She won't. She never
does"
In a minute came the hoarse whis-
per, Cheese it. Miss Lavinia'S COM
ing" When Miss Lavinia appeared
nobody delayed. She never threat
ened; she just acted, saved her breath,
and taught the children to respect
her word.
It Is right to warn children not to
do what Is bad for them to do. After
warning them, act. Don't promise
again and again that you will act.
Don't say: "If you do this, I'll do that
to you" That is not the right atti-
tude from any point of view. Warn
them, explain why this thing is not to
be done, and if your word is disre-
garded, do something about it without
any more talk. Garry out any threat
you make promptly and to the letter,
but better make none at all.

Dorothy Dix Says
Unless a Vital Necessity No Married
Woman Should Desert Her Home
for an Office.

and pursue some money-earning
career?
OF COURSE, the rich woman can
hire a chef for her kitchen and
trained baby experts and high-salaried
nursery governesses to look after her
children while she starts dress shop
or a tea room, but no hired hands
can make a real home, and no scien-
tific care can take the place of
mothers love and tenderness and
infinite understanding. And, any
way. the rich woman who goes into
business seldom eases her husbands
economic burden. Generally she adds
to it because he has to pay her losses.
And, in addition, he has to live in a
home that is as impersonal as a
hotel and see his children neglected.
Unfortunately, there are cases where
a woman is forced by financial neces-
sity to be a breadwinner as well as
a wife and mother and homemaker,
but this Is no ones ideal OF home
life, for the very good reason that
no woman is magician enough to be In
two places at once. No pair OF hands
are strong enough to do the work
of four. The part time domestic
woman simply cannot give to her
husband, her children and her home
the attention they need.
MO MANS idea of the kind OF a
= home he wants is place to
which his wife has given a lick and
a promise in the morning before she
hurried off to the store or office. and
to which she returns in the evenip
too tired to do more than get up q
makeshift dinner with can openT.
Nor is his ideal of the kind of
mother he wants to bring up his
children q woman whose children
are turned out to shift for themselves
on the street, while she is downtown
earning few dollars.
A man wants to come home at night
to lighted house, to a good dinner.
to a woman who is rested and ready
to be companionable with him. Chill
dren want a mother who Is always in
reach and to whom they can fly in
times of trouble and who Is always
there to kiss their hurts and make
them well.
These things being among the
primitive facts of life, it is hard to
understand how women are going to
add to the happiness Of marriage by
leaving their homes and their chill
dren and becoming wage-earners.

ON wall I'LL IL SUOTInS W Scl
your rainy-day outfit If you
do you will probably get
- something that is just a
makeshift and be sorry ever after.
Being prepared for wet weather
takes most of the sting out of it and
you might even enjoy taking good
brisk walk in the rain If properly
dressed for it and secure in the knowl-
edge that you are not running good
coat or inviting bad cold by getting
your feet wet. Some people seem to
pride themselves on never using an
umbrella or wearing rubbers, but !
think you will find that they are apt
to be careless about the looks of their
shoes and clothes in general To be
ready for any emergency Is really to
have the smarter point of view.
So. if you have to go out every day
you will need at least two umbrellas,
one to keep at each end of the line;
pair of galoShes, thin rubber sandals
for warmer rainy days, and a good
raincoat.
IN LOOKING at umbrellas we have
found in one shop that the light
translucent effect of oiled silk is very
pleasing in both umbrellas and rain
coats that come in colors to match,
all folded up and packed into small
square cases. The brown oiled silk
when opened and held against the
light has lovely amber tint that
casts a pleasant glow over the face.
The tips, top and handle may be of
amber pryStal or contrasting color.
These umbrellas are 16-rib and priced
at 50 and SO. The raincoats in match
ing colors with nice raglan sleeves
are S.. The white sets with green tips
and handles on the umbrellas will be
attractive for Spring and those plaided
in blue and red on white are the
schoolgirls favorite.
New ideas in umbrella handles seem
to favor the bracelet ring to slip
right over your hand, and the fat
ball handles with braid loops. A new
idea in these shows gardenia cap
tive within the glass ball. The bracelet
handles come in white silverlike metal
and also in the colored composition
materials. You are apt to find them
on the higher priced umbrellas around
So and 10. One of these combines
soft, dull plaid in brown, dull red
and white very effectively. with brace
let handle of clear prystal accented
with brown, at $6.
Evening star., 1936-01-15
-sketched in Washington Shops

Animal handles continue to be
popular and a little Scottie done in
etched clear prystal sitting atop a
black umbrella is quite fetching and
fits nicely into the hand. Chromium
in a cup cap that fits over the
chromium tips is rather an innovation
and has the extreme modern look
And don't forget the midget umbrella
that folds at the center of the ribs
and makes a ducky little thing to
carry about or pack away on a trip.
These come in prices from $3.50 to $40.
DERHAPS you remember the white
raincoats that were mentioned in
this column recently, the coats with
those vivid blue and red Innings and
the little leather straps around the
standing collars. They may be found
n the sports department of a local
shop and are very snappy.
Rain capes have their uses. but,
unless they are full cut and have
slashes for the arms so they can be
Tapped over, they will not give COM
plete protection. The incest type of
thin rubber unlined coat is the kind
with large arm openings and a hip
length cape. These are, light in
weight, may be slipped over any kind
of coat and will give ample pro-
lection against the most driving storm.
In Winter galoshes are an absolute
necessity, but, fortunately, there are
many to choose from, so that there
will be no difficulty in finding what
you like; they come in black and
brown. There are two snap fasten-
ings, or a upper with one fastening
across the top, and for evening, to
cover your party slippers, you will
want a pair of those white galoshes
with white fur around the top, unless
you are quite sure that you will find
a covered way from the street to the
door.
A shiny black leather galosh that
fits snugly and looks like patent
leather Is new this season and is being
seen on smartly dressed feet about
town.

VERY distinguished woman
thinks that she has discovered
the secret of how to be happy

~ THINKS tnat Sne mas discovered
II the secret of how to be happy
4 \ though married. 1t is for
every wife to be economically inde-
pendent. She says that one of the
most important things that a wife
can do for her husbands peace of
mind is to relieve him of her support,
and If every married woman had some
trade, whereby she brought home the
bacon as well as fried it, it would do
more than any one thing to solve the
problems of life and domesticity.
Among the other blessings that she
foresees in this arrangement is that,
while it would give children less
mother, they would have more father,
because, if men could divide the up
keep of their families with their wives,
they would have more time to stay
home and play with the baby and
help little Johnny with his arithmetic.
This is a lovely theory, with many
points about 1t that will commend it
to both men and women. No one will
deny that balancing the budget is just
as good for a row in the home as 1t
is in politics, or that the thing that
mostly disillusions men with marriage
and makes them wish they hadn't
done it is the bills, and seeing the
money that they would like to spend
on their own pleasures and amuse-
ments going to dress shops and beau
ty parlors and perambulators and
sterilized milk.

MARRIAGE would come up to every
mans romantic dreams and
wives retain their glamour if they
didn't cost anything, so it is easy to
see how much it would add to the
peace and harmony of home if wife
had well filled pocketbook and did
not have to 60 to husband every time
she needed a pair of new shoes or ex-
plain what she did with the quarter
he gave her week before last.
It would promote domestic felicity
among men for their wives to be self
supporting; it would go long way
toward making marriage a heaven on
earth to women not to be financially
dependent on their husbands. For
there is no bitterer pill that wife
has to swallow than having to pan
handle her husband for the money
she earns hundred times over in
making him a comfortable home and
rearing his children.
But, alas and alack, there is always
a but to all beautiful theories. How
is this plan to be put in operation
without upsetting the applicant in
the cases in which no wealthy father
bestowed an adequate dowry upon
his daughter? How Is the poor girl

Apples Are
Ideal Mid
Winter Fruit
BY EDITH M. BARBER.

WHEN I was little girl my favorite
w apple was the russell. Every Fall
after the first frost, was invited to
spend the day in the country on a
farm where there was tree of russet
apples which, unlike others, were not
picked until chestnut time. The ap-
pies were not very big and were slight
fingered in my memory.
A few weeks ago box Of apples
from Central New York State came to
me- There was a number of varieties
and among them were some which
seemed to me to have that old russet
flavor. They were lovely, smooth
| golden apples, however, and find
that they are called Golden Delicious.
There are also number of cooked
desserts which can be quickly prepared
from apples. Sliced apples, fried in
butter and glazed with sugar and fla
vored with little sherry are unusually
delicious. Stewed apples favored with
grated orange rind and combined with
maraschino cherries are good either hot
or cooled. And then there are these
delicious apple rings. BY the way,
Stewed cranberrieS combine well with
either apple sauce or stewed apples.

Americans Changing
 Drink, Smoke Habits

WASHINGTON, D. C.-An index to changes in American habit was seen today in tax figures revealed by Internal Revenue Commissioned Helvering, states a United Press re- lease.
 Statistics showed American people purchased more liquor and smoked more cigarettes in 1885 than In 1894.
 But snuff-dipping and tobacco "chawing," habits. out of place in drawing rooms, showed a decline.
 Poker playing and bridge appar- ently were not as popular last year as in 1894. Maybe the persons who- fancy the cards did not have the time.
 Anyway, last year 119,235.241 gallons of liquor and 45,207,S08 barrels of beer slid down thirsty throats, compared with 93,115,883 gallons and 39,864,996 barrels, re- spectively, the previous year.
 Five and a half billion cigars went up in smoke last year. five hundred million more than in the previous year. Cigarette consump- tion jumped ten thousand mil ion. passing the one hundred thirty six thousand million mark.
 Forty-five million decks of cards were sold in 1884, but only forty two million last year,
 Consumption of snuff fell off !. million pounds to thirty-six million and chewing tobacco dropped three million pounds to three hundred four million pounds
