INBREEDHNG AND CROSS.
 BREEDING

BREEDING
 Marriage of near-of-kin is for- bidden by nearly all peoples, civil- ized or rncivilized. Only in ancient Egypt and Peru was marriage of brother and sister sanctioned in the royal families, because of Q belief that the royal family were a su- perior race and outside of 1t there were no suitable mates to be found.
 In animal husbandry some such consideration, that is, a desire to perpetuate superior qualities or se- lected stock, favors inbreeding, that is, the mating of closely related individuals. But the closest possi- ble inbreeding is the natural way of reproduction among many plants; this is known as self-pollination, in which the egg-cellS of the plant arc fertilized by pollen cells produced by the same individual. Self ferti- lizatiop or hermaphroditic repro duction occurs in some animal par- asites and fishes.
 Common peas, wheat, oats and most other cereals are naturally self-fertilizing, and most plants thrive best that way. Maize or Indian corn, however, seems to de- cline in size and vigor if left to self-pollination indefinitely: but ra- cial vigor and size may be. fully re- stored by cross breeding-ferti- lization of corn by pollen from plant (obtained by se.f-fertiliza- tion) of distant kin.
 Animal experiments indicate that close inbreeding has no i'll effects in

 Reading, The Magic Highway to Adventure" Is this years slogan for Children's Book Week. The best one yet, I think, as it is through their love of adventure that chil- dren are led to the richness of the big world of books.
 Interest, the key to good habits, Is the natural basis for book love. Through 1t the child may be led to self education, or knowledge of every kind and variety. How dif- ferent from the ancient way of pre- senting too-old or too-profound books to the boy or girl, thereby fixing dislike for all reading.
 To describe the amazing loveli- ness of today's books for children would be like lip service to a sun set. There is only one way to ap- preciate, and that Is to attend the feast yourself. Not necessarily to buy, but to educate yourself as to what is being done for the chil- dren.

at last. And the field has broadened until the romance of juvenile liter- ature is a distinct education ir almost every line of informative subject. It is all adventure, for experts of the pen, writing for to- days children, know that fact k often stranger than fiction.
 Reading, the Magic Highway to Adventure" there fore, may be broadly interpreted, Any and every book published today for children from two to twenty, comes quite nicely under the heading.
 Here are some suggestions that should be made before the inex- perienced purchaser, if you hap pen to have @ book or two in mind. decides on @ volume for Mary or Ted.
 Don't select one they will have to grow into. To day is today. l prefer book 8 trifle too young than a trifle too old. Not only will the child not enoy 1t par ticularly, but 1t may give him a feeling of hesitation about other books. Of course, there is no edge to age line, absolutely not.
 I read hundreds of children's books and am as interested as though I were six, or ten or six teen. Lists are only general guides, at best, as the book for an ado lescent is often thoroughly enjoyed by the younger child. provided it IS simply written and the subject ap- pealing. But one should select books, generally speaking, from recom- mended age suggestions. There are enough for every age.
 Cater to Interests
 If you know a child to be par ticularly interested in one sun- feet, there is always a book for 1t. There is your first guide. If he is factual and greedy for knowledge there are the so-called "informa- tive" books, each one an Aladdin's Cave of treasure. If he has a hob by. how easy. But don't get him too many books on one subject. All children love pure fiction. Well, there are enough splendid ones for you to select from, blind- fold almost.
 But whatever you do, get ac- ouainted with the "feep of the wonderful childrens library today. GO and browse. Feast on such il- lustrations as you have never dreamed existed. You will wish yourself back in childhood, on your own magic way to adventure.

GI0ri1ing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

The woman who knows her type, exactly what the shape of her face is and some facts about her color ing has better chance of being able to make the most of her fea- lures and to make less obvious the unattractive ones.
 Instead of trying to copy the hair dress and makeup technique of her FAVORITE motion picture actress, she picks 8 star whose face is shaped something like her own, whose coloring is quite similar. Then she studies the method that particu- lar actress employs when applying rouge, lipstick, and so forth. She tries to find out what the studio makeup experts have done to make the star the glamorous creature she is.
 Or she orders makeup charts from cosmetics manufacturers (easily available), and, with these in hand, studies her own features, skin tex ture, bone structure, the way her hair frames her face, where color appears when cheeks are naturally flushed. Then she experiments with makeup in various shades until the desired effect is achieved.
 "Veritable miracles can be &C., complished with the right cosmetics, applied correctly" says Perc Vest more, famous Hollywood makeup expert. If she observes simple rules of health which make for unblem- ished skin, clear eyes and a nice figure, then learns how to dress her hair, use rouge, lipstick and powder, any woman can be not only attrac- tive but lovely.
 Likewise, bad makeup and an un- suitable coiffure can spoil even the most perfect features, ruin the ef- feet of really beautiful hair," MT. Westmore continued.
 Consider Bette Davis, for ex- ample. All that lovely girl has to do to spoil her appearance is to pencil exaggerated arches into her eye- brows, pull her hair forward over cheeks, use too much rouge and place it in little round circles on cheek bones. then make a cupid's bow of her lips.
 "By the simple process of smear ing on too much lipstick and rouge and yielding an eyebrow pencil with an unrestrained hand, pretty little Janet Oaynor can change herself from Q dainty, little-girl type of woman to Q rather looking in. diyidual. Pictures of Janet wearing too much makeup prove conclusive iy how important 1t is to decide what 0ne's type happens to be and what awful things can happen to a woman who never has bothered to develop makeup sense"
 MT. Westm0re went on to point out what could happen to hand some Rita Johnson's face if she simply parted her hair one inch higher and used rouge low on her cheeks.
 sThe seemingly smallest details often mean the difference between real beauty and merely so-so face" he concluded.

QOeSnC TeallZe that he is putting her in an embarrassing situation.
 She likes his wife well enough to feel some loyalty toward her. And she likes both the husband and wife well enough to want to keep them for friends. She isn't flattered at being singled out by a husband with a rowing eye, for she has enough sense to know it is no compliment.
 If the wife should see the cas- ual kiss, the girl would feel like a home-wrecker, and the wife would be sure that she is one.
 If the girl Is prudish about the incident the husband will have no more use for her. If she tries to laugh at him, he thinks she IS leading him on. However, she handles the situation, she feels she has done a poor job of 1t. Somehow the incident seems more embarrassing to her when 1t hap- pens in the mans own home.
 If she had husband, her friends husband might feel some sort of loyalty toward him-or if not loyalty, he would at least ap- proach her with a wary eye. Not SO the single girl. There Is one type of married man who thinks she has nothing at all to lose.
 She wonders if she is to blame for these incidents. Perhaps she is too flirtatious. But no. they happen to the other single girls she knows.
 Unfortunately there ts no prac. tical advice to offer the girl who finds herself in the light of Q htis- bands rowing eye. But there is a hint for that kind of hlasband; Don't fool yourself into feeling you're irrisistible. Don't think 6 girl ls necessarily intriguad hv

The terrific rise in meat costs aas made many lowly food take sn high dignity. Such simple dairy products as cottage and cream cheese have now great honor in the land. We long forget that they are rich sources of protein, that great ingredient in meat which high prices put beyond the reach of many.
 Cottage cheese has q high water content and therefore perishes rather quickly. Buy only enough for one or two days at time. 1t Is fairly low in fat content, and is therefore improved by the addition of cream or salad dressing. Cream cheese is also perishabie but not so much as cottage cheese.
 It is called also Neutchatel, Ger vais and white cheese, according to the part of the country where it Is used. Both cream and cottage cheese have this great advantage they are more easily cigested than the other types and are therefore better for young children.
 Once you realize that these cheeses are rich in protein similar to that of meat, you will find your self turning to the recipes below in the all-important search for paiatables, low-cost, protein-rich foods.

Manners

Moment

THERE'S probably no greater indoor
sport for the married woman than
figuring out which of her unmarried
friends should fall for each other.
But it's a sport to be INDUCED in Sc
cretly. It should never reach the
stage OF overt expression where the
married woman actually tries to for
ward the romance.
It just doesn't work out. In the
first place, when she tells Harry that
she knows a girl he simply must meet
she puts Harry in belligerent state
Of mind from the start. He's fully
prepared to dislike this paragon he's
been hearing about. And it works the
same with Susie. All you have to tell
her is that Harry is just her type and
she sharpens her fangs.
OF course, really sly matchmaker
can put these reactions to good use
by cracking up the wrong person to
(usie. and then by making sure that
Garry is there to catch her on the
tebound.
But even so, it's dangerous business.
We think it's really better Just to
leave the whole thing alone, andd let
your friends pick out their own hus-
bands and wives. After all, you didd
pretty well all by yourself, didn't you?
