 There is much dissension among military circles over the need of e whopping defense machine in this country. In pre-Munich days even European writers were a bit puzzled by our tenseness. Jane's of London, worlds foremost military publishing house, commented:
 An in teresJIng psychological point is that the government of the United States should be building up an immense air service in spite of the isolationist policy of the government, and in spite of the abandonment of the Philippine Islands to the risks and rigors of self government.
 The United States have nothing to fear from the Atlantic side, and still less from Canada or Mexico. The Hawaiian Islands should not be worth the cost of a major war in the Pacific. And yet the United States have one of the biggest and possibly the most efficiently armed air services in the world

social position that an older man can bestow on them along with a wedding ring.
 Naturally no girl is going to say that is what she is looking for She's going to tell old So-and-so that she thinks young men are silly, and that a man who is little older is so much more fascinating
 And old So-and-so isn't the only one who believes her. Every man who is edging toward badness and wants to think it doesn't matter, will say to himself, Well, old So-and- 50 is older than am, and look at the good looking girl he got"
 Well, these older men and the girls who are thinking of marry ing them ought to hear what a more frank than tactful young wife has to say about marriage with the famous funny man, Ed Wynn, who is the favorite comic of thousands - but who evidently found amusing young wife. 25 years his junior, something else again.

Modern, Menus
By MRS. GAYNGR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

Don't spoil an expensive dinner before you cook it. Study the modern techniques of home refri- geration.
 Reserve the coldest spot for dairy products and raw meat. Speed milk and cream to the refrigerator, talk ing only enough time to wash off the outsides of the bottles. Creamed dishes and desserts made of milk or cream, or eggs, require the same special consideration.
 The rule that cold air goes down will help to locate the frigid zone in your refrigerator. But a ther- mometcr or two set at different places will help to find the exact spot. Although sometimes the range is only two or three degrees, varia tions of six to eight degrees are not uncommon in household refri- gerators.
 It is unsafe to hold ready-to- serve meats longer than two days, even at 40 to 45 degree tempera- lures. Fish presents a double prob lem; for both the refrigerator and food must be protected A wrapping of wax paper is probably most sat- isfactory.
 Keep Food Covered
 Uncooked fish should never be held longer than few hours. Cooked meats, leftover foods and cheese dishes all need protection refrigerator dryness.
 Foods of delicate flavor. such as milk, cream, butter, need protec- tion rom refrigerator odors. The original paper caps are best for milk bottles. Make sure all surfaces of the butter are closely covered by the original wrapping.
 To keep the refrigerator fresh and sweet, wash out the interior of the cabinet with weak solution of washing soda. This is easier to re- move than soap, and for the pur- pose has better cleansing qualities. A mechanical refrigerator should ze thoroughly cleansed with wash ing soda solution at defrosting time. An occasional scalding of the cube tray is advisable.

INTERLININGS IMPORTANT

Since the interlining is important both to the warmth and perfect fit of your winter coat, it is wise to ask the saleswomen who is assisting you to allow you to inspect it before you finally decide on your purchase. A material, light in weight, but as suredly warm, and not bulky is pre- ferable. Ask the salesWoman, too, how it will react when the coat is dry cleaned-whethe it will retain its body and shape An interlining that shrinks or stretches will destroy the set of the garment. If the inter- lining is quilted, be sure that the wool fbers of the filling are even and of good quality and that the fabric covering the filling is firm not SleaZy.

MALARIA, ETHIOPIA, TYPHOID AND CHINA

When I began practice in the ncompromisingly healthy village of Penn Yan (there is, too, I leave it to any Gazetteer), if one &C., cepted calls as they came regard less of how many other doctors the clients had already failed to pay there were still three or four cases of typhoid fever to attend each autumn. Today in the same com munity it is uusual for the dozen doctors to see that many cases of typhoid in year. But as rushed or endeavored to give the appear ance of rushing from typhoid pa- tient to typhoid patient, and won dered whether some of them might relent, if I pulled them through and actually pay me something on &C., count, I was harassed by melan- choly regret that I had not begun practice there five or ten years earlier, for in the nineties Penn Yan doctor confidently expected tc have thirty to forty typhoid cases on his visiting list every autumn The ultimate conquest of typhoid fever seems at present as remote as the conquest of China.
 The ultimate conquest of malaria however, seems as likely as the con- quest of Ethiopia, notwithstanding the annual total of 250,000 cases ir the southern states and the eSti- mated 125,000 human carriers among the apparently well population.
 Wherever malaria prevails the general population is below tht average physically, mentally, eco- nomically Not to engage in the chicken -or-egg controversy, I believe the cure for the malaria problem k education.
 The Malaria Commission of the League of Nations recommended and the United States Public Healtf Service modified and approved What is now established as
 The Short Quinine Treatment for
 Malaria
 As soon as chills and feve1 l (fever and ague) begin the adul patient should receive twent! grains of QUININE SULPHATI daily for from 5 to days, when al quinine should be stopped. This is best given in divided dose say one daily dose of 10 grains the other two doses of 5 grain each. Children should receive smalle doses, according to their weight - for example a child weighing hal as much (75 pounds) as the aver age adult G50 pounds) may tak' ten grains of quinine daily for 5 tt ' days.
 The advantages of the SHORT QUININE TREATMENT are first its cheapness, and freedom iron unpleasant by-effects m t m e caused by longer doses of quinine second, it's effectiveness in mos cases; third, its comparative safety
 For prophylaXis the daily dose O. quinine sulphate advised for person! during their stay in malarious re- gions is SIX GRAINS-either ont dose of six grains every day, or pill or tablet containing two grain! of quinine sulphate three times day.
 If these methoos of prevention and treatment could be followed 1T all cases, we might soon see ma laria becoming as rare as yellow jack is in the United States.

somewhere away back, unless, of course, he is actually right about not deserving the scolding he gets The average enid senses the fair ness of reprimand. He should not hold grudge because the shoe fits.
 Go to sleep and rest assured that the set-to with your son was legi- timate. Let him do the worrying
 Maybe the trouble is that these carpet callings have become too fre- quent. You feel like common scold. In this case, either John is ready for some other kind of re- conditioning, or maybe you just need trip or tonic. Constant argument is utterly useless. And the bond is threatened in earnest now.
 But about his opinion of you. Let us take the one case that wor- rieS you so tonight.
 Deserved What He Got
 Stick to your guns. Don't paint spectres on the wall about losing him. You won't. He knows just as well as you do that he richly de- served what he got. And he knows that you are usually fair and right. Don't wake father. He'll only grunt and tell you to beat the tar out of the kid the next time. What he means is that Johnny's o. K. and now he wants to go back to sleep.
 Fathers do have to take a hand sometimes, but warmed-over sins are like court trials. They lose pho- togrcphic clcarness. Daddy can't work up much enthusiasm for eith- CT the prosecution or defense.
 Your child has to learn that love can be outraged. He has to expect some displeasure. If he cannot see it this way, then he is selfish and blind indeed. He should be as

 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

The truly smart college girl wno cares about her appearance -
 Brushes her hair every night and has a shampoo at least once a weeA
 Wouldn't think of going to 8 class in an impressed skirt and slightly soiled sweater. She wears casual clothes, of course, but she never mistakes dowdiness for a cas- ual manner of dressing.
 Manicures her nails once week and changes her nail polish once between manicures.
 Wears coiffure that is becom- ing to her-regardless of current trends.
 Does not go in for frilly, forthy evening dresses or fussy afternoon clothes. She insists that the former be quite sophisticated and the latter essentially simple in a well-bred kind of way. She wouldn't dream of wearing dan gling earrings with either.
 Never wears eyeshadow during the day. And unless her lashes are quite colorless, she doesn't go in fol mascara during daytime hours.
 Uses rouge sparingly, applying il with the skill of an artist.
 Never is seen without lipstick.
 Keeps white collars and cuffs i'm macuately white, brushes her hats regularly and keeps her shoes shined.
 Doesn't think girdle is some thing to wear only on dress-up oc- casions. She has panty girdles fo1 sports and general daytime wear, a lightweight, boneless foundation garment for evening and a girdle with garters for afternoon and week ends out of town. Furthermore, she wears them.

FUR AND FABRIC

The ideal street costume for fall wear is the three-piece suit - jacket and skirt of soft, ton ed wool and fur overcoat. The latter you'll wear, too, ali winter over sheer wool or heavy crepe frocks. One such ensemble, seen in an ex- elusive Fifth Avenue shop, consists of a fingertip length, boxy coat of gray kidskin over a collarless wine colored soft wool suit, distinguished by clever low-placed pockets and huge dull buttons down the front of the closely fitting jacket. The skirt is plain, wide-gored. You'll like the suit alone in late Septem- Der and love the luxurious warmth of the overcoat when autumn's brisk breezes mature into winters briSker winds.

 Young wives - even estranged ones are seldom so frank. If they were, men might wake up to the fact that 1t is as unusual for young girl to fall genuinely in love with an old man, as it is for a young man to fall in love with wo- man twice his age.

If your living room seems to lack something, but you aren't sure what, look carefully at smart end tables, lamps and interesting &C., cessories that are featured in August furniture sales. This three tier, mahogany end table, for in- stance, certainly would give char acter to any otherwise pretty unirteresting room. The crystal lamp with a white silk shade, edged in blue, the crystal cigarette box and the pair of white china penguins on a block of china ice, are nice touches.
