recommend a quart a day during
the years when the child is rapidly
growing and his bones and teeth
are developing, providing it does
not crowd out other essential food.
It's good idea to have one of
the vegetables each day served
raw or quickly-cooked. And serve
leafy-green and yellow vegetables
often.
It's not bad plan to have pota-
toes at least once a day because
they are an inexpensive food that
contain appreciable amounts of
some of the valuable minerals and
vitamins. But if a potato is not
served each day then there should
be corresponding increase in 9TH
er vegetables and fruit.
Eggs and meat are good build
ing foods. The yolk of an egg is
one of the first foods given to
supplement the milk diet of the
very young child. Young children
should have either eggs or meat
each day. Older children may have
both more frequently.
Children need some fats in the
daily diet. Fats are the most con-
centrated body fuels and are there
fore a good source of energy. But
ter, cod-liver oil, and some other
fish oils are also good sources of
two important vitimins. Some mar
garines have recently had these vi
tamins added as their labels state.
No diet for children would be
complete without a few simple
sweets. But use these with dis
erection, at the end of a meal. Serv-
ed in between or at the beginning
of meals, sweets take away the
child's appetite for essential foods.

How does it happen that though
Negro singers have attempted to
join WPA classes for music in
struction and participation in the
choral work, none have been ac-
copied by white teachers because
the group then would be a mixed
one; and on the other hand, how
does it happen that no trained Ne
gro has been given the oppor-
tunity to teach any adult singing
classes, mixed or otherwise, under
this bureau. Surely our trained
singers would not draw the color
line, and would not object to teach
ing any sincere applicant to their
classes. Do the heads of the Port
land organization realize how fair
Negroes would be in such a stu
alton? Meanwhile Negro taxpayers
eye askance the lack of openings
for their trained people and lack
of opportunity for those folk of
color who desire to progress along
certain lines.

Bertha NJ. LetoiS habits of child
rem, issued by the Bureau of Home
Economics has proved interesting.
In any program of health build
ing or health-preserving the i'm
portance of diet can not be en-
phasized too strongly. From the
very first the expectant mother
must see to it that her diet is well
fortified by the protective" foods.
For diet low in some important
nutrient can cause distressing re-
suits both to the mother and to
the developing baby.
The right food for a child will
furnish material for good bones,
sound teeth, and strong sturdy
body. In addition, it will provide
sufficient reserves for growth and
safety.
The diet of very young child
and that of an older one are diff
ferent mainly in the way food is
prepared and in the amounts to
be served at various ages. Uusual-
ly child's appetite will guide him
to eat enough = but less often will
it guide him to eat all the right
kinds of foods.
In planning the diet of a child,
milk is a good starting point. It
is well known as an economical
source of valuable food elements.
A child should have at least a
pint of milk a day, preferably a
quart. Most nutrition specialists
