It speaks the language of the

FROM OUR CONGRESSMAN
WILLIAM +. ALLEN


to extend to all my constituents
and to the Publisher of this news
paper, cordial and hearty greetings
at this holiday season for a most
Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year. This hearty greeting
conveys my sense of appreciation
to all my good friends at a time
when the air IS full Of good cheer
and of holiday activities.
AID TO UNEMPLOYED After
the first Of the year, the unemploy-
ed in % States and the District of
Columbia will be assured of COM
pensation if thrown out of a Job.
After that date, if worker loses
his job he goes to the State Tn
ployment Service where he puts in
an application for work, and then
files for claim of unemployment
insurance The worker has to wait
about three weeks before he is CIV
en- compensation. If at the end of
this time, he is still out of work,
he is given his first check for un-
employment insurance.
WAGE AND HOUR BILL-The
Wage and Hour Bill is next to be
taken up in the House, now that
the farm bill has been passed. BY
the time the bill reaches the final
state of completion, it will be an
entirely different bill than the
Black-Connery Bill passed last ses-
sion by the Senate. There prob
ably will be long drawn out bat
tie in regard to the measure.
FARM FIRES - Farm fires in
the U. S. take about $500 lives and
destroy 100000, 900 worth of prop
erty each year. Eighty-five per-
cent of this loss is from such COM
monplace causes as defective Chin
neys and fues; sparks on combust-
ible roofs; lightning; spontaneous
combustion; careless use of match
es, smoking; careless use of gaso-
line and kerosene; defective and
improperly installed stoves and
furnaces; faulty wiring; and mis-
use of electric appliances.
HOUSING BILL - The Senate
Banking and Currency Committee
have completed hearings on the
Housing Bill backed by the A!d-
ministration. 1t is likely that the
Senate will consider the measure
shortly after the Farm bill.
u S. SAVING BONDS - Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Morgenthau
announed that U. S. Savings Bonds
cash sales passed the billion dollar
mark This billion investment
represents a sale of approximately
4. .5O0, 900 bond units, purchased by
about i, ,200, 900 people.
UNION AGREEMENTS SINCE
N. R. Am expansion in collec-
tive bargaining unparalleled in
the history of the u. S. has taken
place in the last year. A charac-
teristic feature of the movement
has been the rapid and widespread
growth of collective bargaining
through trade unions in many
mass-production industries At the
same time the company unions
which predominated in these indus
tries during the MIRA have been
largely eliminated.

The Accent on War in School

The ACCENT Oh war LII ESCuOO1
1t seems as though the announc-
er of the Junior Radio Club forgot
herself when she emphasized the
bombing of the United States ship,
Panay. School is not the proper
place to emphasize words which
will mold public opinion on such
things that might result in war.
Little things, sometimes not in
territorial, cause worldwide disturb
ances. A matter like this caused
us to enter the World War in 1917.
Surely, a girl would not like to be
such a disturbing element as to
arouse our feelings about bombing
Of the ship. The Japanese are not
to blame. The Americans should
have evacuated weeks ago.
The blame for this catastrophe
should be laid on the executive and
legislative departments of the
United States. This matter could
easily ignite the barrel of powder
on which all the world is now sit
ting.

 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Vitamin D and Metabolism
 Can you tell me whether vitamin D has any effect on the thyroid gland? Should one whose meta molism is low (20 per cent below normal, the doctor said when the test was made) take vitamin D at all? GA. E.. Al
 Answer-Vitamin D increases the metabolic rate. Any one who needs iodin to speed up the metabolism, any one who is hypothyroid, prob- ably also needs vitamin D.
 Carrot Juice
 Please tell me how one can make raw carrot juice, there being so little juice in carrots. (Mrs. c. Y. L.) :. Answer-I have often wondered about that myself. In fact, I had 8 dreadful dream about it-a big bozo handed me a mortar and pestle and took me by the ear to a vast bin of carrots, about a ton of them, and said you squeeze out a wineglassful of juice for me by breakfast time or else! Why go to all that trouble? Why not just eat the carrots? Copyright, 1887, John F. Dille Col

New Home Course In Ballroom Dancing

Her marvellous sense of rhythm makes Diane a superb dancer. She matches steps perfectly to this lilt- ing fox-trot tune.
 But Diane didn't know a thing about time until she taught herself in home lessons. She learned how to listen to dance music from sim- pie instructions. Soon she could recognize the rhythm distinctive to each dance: the "swingy" fox-trot, the subtle tango, the dreamy waltz, the throbbing rhumba.
 Then she practiced walking in time to the music, kept herself lightly balanced, relaxed.
 Once Diane had the "feel" of dance rhythms, basic steps and new variations were fun. Easy to learn the smart Two-Step Swing, the Conversation Stroll from simple diagrams.
 Our 32-page booklet explains dance rhythms in new way: shows with diagrams how to dance the tango, rhumba, fox-trot, and waltz. Latest variations.
 Send 10c for your copy of HOME COURSE IN NEW BALLROOM DANCES to Waterbury Democrat Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave-, New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your NAME, ADDRESS, and the NAME of booklet.

High Examples to Emulate

High Examples to Emulate
 Why do women clean their houses, sweep the floors and scrub the chimney corners in the spring? Why do small girls ask for lowered rib- bons in the spring? Why do little boys play marbles and throw balls and sit in groups under the street lights, after supper, just waiting for something to turn up? Why do men feel the urge to cut their lawns and train their rambler roses?
 Spring. Glamor. A desire to at- tain something forever just ahead, something not quite visible. Some thing that never is visible, but $ there as surely as there are songs on the air-waves though we do not see them, and wind in the grass though we see only the tall stalks sway.
 In the spring old men dream dreams and the young men see vis- ions. In the spring old ladies remin- isce and young ladies perform the deeds of which "reminiscences are made. This May. with the Vest minister procession winding through London streets and the wedding bells pealing merrily across the channel, romance should take skip and a jump forward. The American marriage rate should do credit to the opponents of romance.

THE QUESTION OF VITAL
 CApA(TTY

In an article here recently we en- deavored to explain about the phy- siology of breathing and how the "vital capacity" indicates an indi- vidual's physical fitness. Vital ca pacity is the sum of CD the quan- tity of air breathed in and out of the lungs at each ordinary breath Casually less than a pint), (2) the quantity of air that can be expelled by the strongest effort after nor- nal expiration (this varies from 2.s to 3h pints) and (0 the quan- tity of air that can be taken in by the maximum effort after an ordi- nary quiet inspiration (this is of course the same as @. Average vital capacity of adult males Is 370O cubic centimeters (approxi- mately "A pints) and that of adult females is $500 cubic centimeters Approximately 7A pints).
 Reader inquires whether I mean that the greater the vital capacity the more physically fit the indi- vidual is, regardless of sex, size, height, age, weight and habit espe- cially as regards daily exercise, athletic activity, gymnastic train- ing, and the like.
 More thoughtful reading of the explanation of vital capacity as re- peated above will answer half of the readers queries. Of course sex and size and age should be taken into consideration. However, these factors are comparatively negli- gible, once the subject is past puberty, say 12 or 13 years of age. But the individuals habit as re- gards daily exercise, athletic activ- ity, gymnastic training, belly breath ing, etc., has 8 good deal to do with his or her vital capacity. Rea- sonable physical training always increases individual vital capacity. Even so simple practice as few moments of belly breathing last thing at night as you settle down to sleep helps to maintain good vital capacity and, at least in my opin- ion, tends to prevent pneumonia, among other benefits. Can't stop here to describe Belly Breathing. Send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for instruc- tionS.
 Individuals whose vital capacity is low have a high diaphragm. Most lay readers won't know what this means. The diaphragm is the breathing muscle. Belly breathing pulls the diaphragm down, pushes the belly out-infiates the bellows. The diaphragm is pretty high in dead people too. It is a bit too high in any one who has what we doc tors call poor muscle tonus or re- siliency. It is likely to be high in persons who have the wrong idea about good posture, the chesty com- plex, the bad habit of trying to pull in or hold in the abdomen 2 as Mrs. Malaprop calls the belly.
 I attempt to explain how the diaphragm works in booklet No. 20 in Little Lessons in the Ways of Health" series, which is entitled 'The Art of Easy Breathing" but darn it all. it costs ten cents. Visit the public library some day and read 6 few chapters in Howell's Text Book of Physiology, which Is available in every public library worthy of the name, and perhaps you will get some inkling of the function of the breathing muscle. Other muscles help the diaphragm, of course. but they are of minor

GIorfying Yourself

 Perfectly pedicured feet, a flat stomach, good posture and smooth legs, free from hair, take on new importance as we head into sum- mer. Any beauty-minded girl knows that a bathing suit and acc tive sports togs do little or nothing to hide physical out ways and means to make yourself lovelier be- fore vacation days and Sunday af- ternoons on the beach.
 Ankles and knees as well as back, shoulders and elbows should be scrubbed with a bath brush. If feet and legs aren't as smooth as you like them, massage them with nourishing cream now and then, or smooth them with hand lotion after each bath. Get the semi-monthly pedicure habit. If you don't like lacquer on your toenails, at least polish them with a nail buffer 50 they will be shining and attractive.
 Superfluous hair on legs simply isn't tolerated by really fastidious women. Whether you are beach bather or not, it's mistake to let legs become covered with little hair which show through sheer stock ings. Use depilatory regularly.
 Wax depilatories are especially efficacious. It isn't exactly pleasant to pull hairs out, but If removed in this fashion, they do not grow back so quickly. You simply melt the wax, let it cool until it doesn't feel too hot. when you touch It, cover a small area on your leg, let set second or two, then yank off Repeat until all hairs have been pulled out. Be sure to follow direc- tions on the box carefully.
 Cream and liquid depilatories are much easier to use. These are smoothed on, left a few minutes depending on how sensitive your skin is, then washed off. Hairs rinse off with the cream or liquid. You can use safety razor. if you like, but 1t is not a good idea. Shaving tends to make hair coarser.
