Don't Believe Parents
'NarrotU Minded Until
You KnotU Them.

nEAR DORIS DENE: I am
II girl of seventeen and am kept
very much at home by an over
strict mother and father. They are
kind to me in some ways and will
allow my friends to come to the
house but they have ridiculous ideas
about going out. do not go out
very often and resent it very much.
Mother seems to think I am safer
at home. AS she has no idea Of
what young people are like, 1t
seems to me that it is unfair of her
to interfere. She talks about the
boys 1 know as If they are men
she'd known all her life-when real
ly she hasn't the faintest idea what
boys are all about. Mothers and
fathers might be expected to keep
out of what they don't understand
is.
ANSWER - Sometimes it's the
fault of the mothers and fathers
that they seem to be such utterly
f1eshless and bloodless individuals.
In their desire to bring up the young
as they think they should they pre-
sent a picture of their sterling vir-
tue which would cause many chill
dren to regard them as less than
human.
Actually though, mothers and ia
Tiers are not so short on memory
as they seem. If they could be
persuaded to take off the mantle
of ultra responsibility and virtue,
and show themselves for the human
beings they really are, many son
and daughter would be amazed at
how much the old folks know about
life and love. -.- .
Just because mother doesn't run around
totOn tUith gigolos doesn't mean that she
| tUas altUays a settLed-doWn humdrum sort
OF person. She remembers what it felt
! like to be in lOue-dnd she knOtUs hOtC
near she came to making fool OF herself
ouer the totUn's bad boy, and she can re-
capture eren notU the thrill OF stolen Joys
and dangerous pleasure.
When she discusses her daughters boy
| friends tCith assurance, she is remember
| ing her DUN suitOrs Of the past, and hOto
much time she Vasted herself in the
,Urong company. And she tries to steer
! her daughter atoay from the mistakes and
the toIEes she herself committed.
Father may have turned out to
be a monument of responsibility but
when he gives his son advice, he's
speaking from real experience. He's
remembering the scrapes he got
into which gave him nothing but
pain and humiliation. He's RELIEVING
the moments when he found that his
best girl was just weak little liar
who made love to everybody-he's
tasting again the bitter gall of dis
illusionment, and he's trying to per-
suade his boy to keep clear of bad
entanglements.

DEAR MISS DENE: have a

DEAR MISS DENE: have a
II dear friend, a man of forty -five,
who is being very kind to me, and
taking me about a good deal. My
mother and father disapprove of
him and I cannot get their consent
to my friendship with him. They
know nothing about him. They do
not appreciate his intelligence or
his experience. I take his advice on
a great many problems because l
know that he is old and wise enough
to give me good advice. This makes
my parents furious, although they
might be glad, it seems to me, that
I have such a wise friend to help
me."-Jeanette. -..
ANSWER-How can anyone ex-
plain off-hand why Jeanette's moth
er and father, probably aged fifty
at the outside, should be so utterly
incompetent to understand and ap-
preciate a man of nearly their own
age? And why should their intelli-
gence and experience be so useless
while the new friend is of such
inestimable value?
The very fact that poor old moth
er and father have always been
around, makes some children regard
their parents as useful household
equipment, rather than as real hui
man beings.
Foolish boys and girls piH submit to
discipline from outsiders Which they
wouldn't dream OF accepting from their
parents. They will hang on the words OF
an older man or tUoman iUho fatters them
and fout the opinion Of their parents
,oho hare lived and suffered and under.
stood a good deal more than the young
sters ever dreamed of.
Mary will shrug her shoulders lightly
oper her mothers admonitiOn not to run
around with the Bro,on boy-but she
piH go NEXT door to Mrs. Ca pretty
oidoD lady, ,oho has talent for attract
ing men-ond agree meekLy to this tadys
dictum that the BrotUn boy is no fit COM
panion for any girl.
John will tell his father in so
many words that he's back-num-
Der and doesn't know what he's
talking about when he advises
against drinking. But when John
meets the golf champion out at
the club who tells him solemnly to
cut out liquor there's a big reforma-
ton in the making.
AS I say, it is often the fault of
mothers and fathers that their chill
dren can't take them seriously as
human beings. But it is just as often
the fault of the children who as
sumo blandly that parents aren't
people at all.
Taking it all in all, most men
and women want their children to
be happy. That's what they're aim
ing at. And any boy or girl is
safer in taking the advice of some
one who is working for his or her
best interests-than in trying to
work out their own salvation along
lines approved of by Indifferent out
siders.

Canada, British Columbia
seeks to extend her domain
to the North Pole. In Great
Britain, scientists are mulling
over data gathered by the Brit
ish Graham land expedition to
the Antarctic.
Many reasons justify this
sudden interest. The tabled
northwest passage which
Henry Hudson sought may
yet be found in the Arctic sea. Avi-
alton progress has made practical
such long sustained flights as the
two Observation-Disclosures hops last
summer. Moreover, who knows
what valuable mineral deposits lie
beneath the crust of ice and snow
that covers Arctic lands?
Antarctic Land Discovered.
In the Antarctic, the recent Brit
ish expedition discovered that
Graham land is not an archipelago
of islands as previously reported by
Sir Hubert Wilkins, but one great
tract of land-a peninsula of the
Antarctic continent. Thus an i'm
mense tract has been added to the
earth's known surface.
But it is the North pole which
commands most interest because of
its proximity to North America, Eu-
rope and Asia-a potential short
cut across the top of the world.
The Soviet's best scientists are
now living in some go weather sta
tons along the Arctic coast, helping
push back the frontier and open the
sea to ships-at least in summer.
Their observations are now sup
plemented by those of the ice-foe
expedition, four scientists who land
ed near the pole last May and have
since drifted slowly southwark, to
be picked up recently off the coast
of Greenland.
Submarines Enter Picture.
Moscow has announced that even
tually it will establish a series of
weather observatories and landing
fields along the proposed polar air
way between Russia and the United
States. From these vantage points
the Soviet will study geography of
the Arctic with airplanes, while SUBJ
marines dive under the ice crust to

TIPS to
Gardeners
Combinations

TO INCREASE yield from the
L vegetable plot, the home gar
dener should grow combined Gull
lures"
The theory is to plant in closely
spaced adjacent rows vegetables
harvested at widely different
times, using one before the other
begins to mature.
Combine caulifower, lettuce and
radish, for instance. Plant cauli-
flower early in rows three feet
apart. Between the rows plant
lettuce, and between lettuce and
caulifiower rows plant radish.
Radishes are harvested early,
then the lettuce, and later the
caulifiower.
Following are several other
combinations recommended by
Harold Coulter, Ferry Seed Insti-
tute vegetable expert:
Carrots and parsnips in alter
nate rows two feet apart; rad
ishes between first two rows; let
tuce between second and third
rows, and spinach between third
and fourth rows.
Spinach rows two and one-hat
feet apart; radishes between spin
ach; pepper plants set between
spinach when radishes are pulled.

potatoes, apricots and bananas.
APPETITE AND VITAMIN B
Vitamin B promotes appetite,
aids digestion, prevents a serious
nerve disorder. It is essential to
the maintenance of a good diges-
ton, which is vitality important if
the body is to obtain full benefit
from the food consumed. This
vitamin is closely related to the
energy metabolism, and the re-
quirement increases with the rate
of growth and with increased en-
ergy expenditure, so that growing
children and working men and
women should receive very gen.
erous amounts.
Vitamin B is found in yeast,
whole wheat cereals, oatmeal,
milk, fresh and dried peas and
beans, spinach, cabbage and other
greens, egg yolk and liver.
VITAMIN C FOR TEETH, GUMS
Vitamin c plays an important
part in regulating body processes,
and prevents the dread disease of
scurvy. A lack of this essential vi
tamin results in profound changes
in the structure of the teeth and
gums, may be responsible for
hemorrhages occurring anywhere
in the body, and for the degenera-
ton of muscle fibers generally.
Vitamin c is most abundant in
succulent fresh green leaves, such
as green cabbage. It is also found
in onions, potatoes, oranges, to-
matoes, green peppers, bananas
and Strawberries. In most foods,
it is easily destroyed by heat
that is why it is so important to
include some fresh raw foods in
the diet daily.

Q Q
VITAMIN ID AND RICKETS

Vitamin D is sometimes called
the sunshine vitamin because it
can be manufactured in the body
through the action of direct SUM-
light on the skin. This is the vita
min that is necessary for the
proper utilization of calcium and
phosphorus in building bones and
teeth. When it is lacking in the
diet of infants, there develops that
horrible disease known as ricketts,,
in which the bones become soft
and twisted, resulting in pitiful
def0rmities - knock knees, bow
legs, pigeon breast.
In foods, vitamin D is only
found in appreciate amounts in
fish-liver oils and egg yolk. That
is why every homemaker should
be so grateful to the scientists who
labored to discover how to con-
centrate this precious vitamin
from fish-liver oils and add it to
foods, or to increase the vitamin
D content of foods through irradi-
alton.

Today, when anyways span every

SPARK PLUGS OF NUTRITION

Other bio-chemists throughout
the world-including Sir Frederick
Gowland Hopkins in England, and
Hart, Humphrey, Babcock, Steen-
book and McCollum in the United
States-had been working on the
same problem that Funk had par
TALLY solved. They knew that the
first step was to find out how vita
minis affected the human body,
and that the second step was to
discover what foods contained
these vital substances.
And SO there began a long Sc
ries of experiments in the labora-
tories of great universities all
over the world, which demonstrate
ed what happens when a diet is
deficient in any of the vitamins,
and proved that if laboratory ami
mails are wholly deprived of vita
minis for a short time they will
die. r.-+-
These experiments are Of the ut
most significance to every home
maker, because the same thing
happens to human beings as to
experimental animals. Today our
knowledge Of vitamins has pro-
crossed to such degree that it
is possible to state the exact re-
quirement for most of the vita
minis and to designate the foods
from which adequate quantities
can be obtained.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-04-07

The scientist was my friend,
Casimir Funk, a brilliant Polish
bio-chemist. He had been work
ing on the problem for many
years. At last, in the year 1912,
his experiments were positive and
conclusive. Then he announced
to the scientific world that he had
discovered a vital force. "This
force" said Funk, 81 have called
vitamine, because it is necessary
to life"
Thus, the word "vitamin" came
into being, along with the first
knowledge of these minute but
powerful factors which exert such
a tremendous influence on human
health and happiness.

Vitamin G is necessary for

of health and vigor at all ages.
1t helps to ward off old age by
prolonging the vigorous middle
years. 1t is essential to the health
of the skin, and recent expert
ments demonstrate that cataracts
in the eyes may be due to a de-
ficiency of this vitamin, which is
found in yeast, and in liver, kid
neys, egg yolk, milk, cheese and
