RULES SUGGESTED
FOR CIVIC RESULTS
Suter Urges Thoroughness
at Metropolis View Asso-
citation Meeting.

The Metropolis View Citizens AS
ISOLATION was given brief set Of rules
for obtaining increased results in civic
activities last night by Jesse C. Suter,
chairman OF the District of Columbia
Committee for National Representa-
tion. at the Crosby S. Noyes School.
In his informal talk to the group,
Mr.. Suter listed the following attri-
butes as being of assistance: BE thor
ough; get the facts and use them &C.
curately and forcefully. Have some
teamwork. Many problems overlap
the boundaries of the various associa-
tions. Teamwork with the other asso-
Citations will accomplish things one
couldn't do alone. Be persistent; keep
everlastingly at thing and sooner
or later you will get results.
Don't tell the world what a rotten
community you live in. Don't 60 off
half cooked on thing; you'll be re-
garded as joke if you get sensational.
Don't denounce everything and every
body; you'll be disliked and no one
will Cooperate with you. Don't take
yourself too seriously and, above all,
know the city you live in"

A Protection
Against All
Infection
The Healthy Clean
Child Is Not Very
Likely to Be Ill.
BY ANGELO PATRT.

MIMI, come away, Come right
away from there Didn't tell
you to always stay in your own yard?
You must not go near other children.
If you do you will get sick. Go right
home. little girl. Don't come into
Minis yard"
Mothers of little children fear in
lection and contagion. Some of them
60 to extremes in shielding the chill
dren from these and insist upon
] isolating them. Babies must be isolat-
ed to great extent. They are
susceptible to illness. Strangers must
be kept away: members of the family
must not get too near, never breathe
in the baby's face; never touch it
without first making certain that
hands and face are clean as can be.
AS the little ones grow this isolation
must be broken. The children have
to have association with other people.
Children and adults form a back
ground Of experience that is essential
to the growth of little ones.
What is to be done about catching"
diseases? My idea is that the best
thing to do is to build up the re-
sistance of the children so that the
illness will not catch" readily. A
healthy, hearty child is not likely to
take on every illness that offers itself
because it has the power to throw off
such attacks. A well-nourished body
and a healthy mind resist illness.
Give the child the nourishment
it needs. Guard its rest and be
meticulous about its sleeping with
other children of the same group
level BY the same group level I
mean in age, weight. intelligence and
training. Keep the childs skin clean
Dress it without fuss, in simplicity
and freedom. Teach it to think in
terms of health, saying always, Il am
strong I am happy. I am good"
keep up that training until the child
can take it over for himself and enter
healthy. sturdy adolescence.
Isolation is not practical. The time
must come when the child must meet
and mingle with other children. Dur
ing his stay-at-home period he needs
association with other children to
sharpen and clarity his experiences.
He needs to learn how to get along
with other children; when to hold on
and when to let go in his struggles
with them. The child who is not
allowed to know other children loses
something very valuable in the way
OF. stimulating experiences.
Take reasonable precautions. but
depend more upon the health OF the
child's body and attitude Of his healthy
mind than upon the isolation and
warnings. Feed the children so as to
nourish them and keep them strong in
their growing time. In this field it is
well to remember that the same diet
does not nourish all children Of the
family in the same way-that is. to
the same degree. Weigh the children
once in while and make certain that
they are maintaining good stout
resistance. to. illness in their sturdy
bodies.
Don't grudge physicians fee. 1t Is
insurance against illness. Prevention
still remains above cure.

a bewilderingly large number of kinds
of apples on the market. Some are
excellent for baking and cooking;
others are especially good for eating
raw. It's not safe to judge by looks

which looks for all the world like q

for cooking. And the Delicious must

Note Paper
In a Purse
Is Handy
Conserve Time BY
Writing Letters
While Waiting.
BY EMILY POST.

NEAR MRS. POST: Some time ago
- you wrote about your own habit
of carrying small packets of light
weight writing paper in folded en-
velopes which were stamped ready TO
mail. It may interest you and perhaps
your readers to hear that this has be-
come my invariable habit. l, too, use
a very thin deep blue paper through
which my writing doesn't show. and
10 sheets and envelopes weigh only an
ounce. l can't tell you how many
hundreds of otherwise wasted minutes
I have put TO use writing every sort OF
note and letter at all sorts of odd
times. Today I was fixing" a new
lot of packets for each of my hand
bags and just thought Id like to tell
you how useful your suggestion has
been to me, and might be, if you re-
peat the advise, to others.
Answer: am delighted to print your
letter. because I myself find 1t possible
to write dozens of notes at odd mo-
ments that would otherwise crowd oc-
cupied ones or very likely never be
written at all. For the benefit of many
who never read the suggestion. 1t was
merely to talke half a dozen sheets OF
thin foreign or airmaI paper ano
envelopes, stamp the envelopes ano
fold them and the paper into small
size against a piece of plotting paper
cut to size of folded envelope anC
hold the packet neatly with an elastic
band. Then by carrying fountain
pen you are ready to write letter or a
note you have in mind while waiting
no matter where. AS Margaret Case
Hartman wrote about me. Mrs. Post
scribbles notes any and everywhere
even while driving around in cars OF
| taXica ps.!"
DEAR MRS. POST: viii you tell me
just what is the rule about writ
ing bread and butter notes after spend
ing week ends with friends. In the
special instance to which l am refer
ring have written bread and butter
letter to the same hostess three times
before and the week ends to her house
are becoming so frequent that hardly
know what to say when I get back on
Monday morning.
Answer: There are many varieties of
hostesses. Some of them would think
you very rude if you did not write a
bread and butter note no matter how
often you stay with them. Others,
after a while, would say. Don't write
me a thank you note. please" But
unless they not only say this, but really
mean it. I'm afraid you will have to 60
on writing notes-even though you be-
gin at the beginning and go through
your series over and over again. You
might. Of course, send present. but
this, too. would have to carry at least
a few words of thanksl

to hold its shape while cooking In
hot oven. The Rome Beauty q
large apple with a-yellow or greenish
skin notified with bright red and
striped with carmine. Is generally
considered an ideal baking apple.
AN apple for pie should cook tender
rapidly. Apples for sauce should cook
quickly. and apples to be scalloped
must hold their shape when sliced
and cooked. Some general-purpose
apples are equally good cooked or
raw. but for best cooking they should
be slightly less ripe than at the eating
stage.
THE safest way to buy quantities
of apples for any purpose is to
sample them first Family preferences
must also be taken into account, since
there is no general agreement as to
what apples are best for all purposes,
Apples to be eaten raw should be
we'll colored for their variety. If it's
q Grimes Golden it'll be deep clear
yellow with pale-yellow or russell dots.
II it's Jonathan it'll be lively deep
red. And the ground color. or the
color under these characteristic mark
ings, will be light yellow or a yellow
green. If it's to be eaten Immediately
1t should yield slightly TO the pressure
of the thumb. but be arm. If 1t gives
with the slightest pressure it is prob
ably override.
Apples that are to be kept around
a while should not be fully ripe when
you buy them. They should be kept
as cool as possible. If there is a
very large quantity to be kept for
several months a cellar with dirt
floor and good ventilation is a good
place for them. Or if that is not pos
sible an unheated room with a window
that may be opened will serve.
For most persons the good flavor,
the appetizing appearance, and the
crisp texture of the apple are suf-
ficient reasons for eating it. But the
nutritionists name two of its other
virtues. First, it lends desirable bulk
to the diet. And, if it is used in
abundance, it is significant source
of vitamin c. Since vitamin c is one
of those not-tp-ahundant food ele-
ments that may be lost in cooking
this Is an item of Importance"

Fish which contain few bones
may be converted into filets by
