The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-06-30

Here's an eye-catching new style that you can make in few hours and wear radiantly all summer long through the most blistering heat! Sweet Girl Graduates will adore the cool winsomeness of Pat tern 591. It's even dressy enough for a garden-party frock. See how breezy the twelve-gore skirt is-how perky and different" the open sleeves and the curved neckline with lace and button trim. AS for fabric, a slim figure will welcome one of the captivating new "perma- nent" finish organdies or voiles that never need starching. Matronly fig ures are better suited by soft. sup pie cottons, silks or synthetics - charming in new summer shades.
 Pattern 591 is cut in misses and womens sizes 12, IA, 16, 18, 20, 30, 32 34 36 38 and 40. Size 16 re- quires 3 3-4 yards 39 inch fabric and 5-8 yards lace edging.
 Send FIFTEEN CENTS (15c) fin coins or stamps (preferably coins) for this pattern. WRITE CLEAR LY SIZE, NAME, ADDRESS AND STYLE NUMBER.
 Send orders to the Waterbury Democrat Pattern Department.
 Tomorrow: Apron Pattern.

seen, too, the strain and secret un- happiness of men and women who felt that natural responsibility to families was robbing them of their free rights. Not acknowledging it openly, they suffered in silence. Re- suit, breakdown and nerve trouble.
 Like everything else in the way of responsibility, the duty to others in a household has to be learned early. It has to be part of self. It has to be habit so strong that it cannot be broken.
 Parents Apt to Coddle
 Here are our nice Jack and Kay, we'll say. We parents don't want trouble to touch them, or any de- nial that can be avoided. They must have the best clothes we can afford, the incest rooms and good food. Education, too. From the time they are born they hear about special courses and perhaps college.
 They have highdays and holi- days, and all the healthful and improving things within our reach to give them. This is as nat ural as daylight for every par ent to struggle for.
 They are taught ndividualism. They get little group experience on the street, in school and in games. This latter influence helps to set their responsibility to their playmates. An excellent thing.
 But how much of all this goes to making them better members of the family? They try to please their parents, but this is a passive sort of duty. To obey and be nice about the house is much, but it isn't quite enough.
 1 The person who appreciates. hon. estly, what is done for him, tries to give back. Children should give back lot.
 Age? There isn't any age. Every child can learn to do his share in some way We are too afraid to call for slight sacri- flee from our husky children.
 NEXT: Responsibility to pets.

udfC DuU thing over what they want to brag about. Husbands insist on looking at wife's job as though it were knitting or fancy work. something to amuse the little woman.
 If she Is clever at it, he is indul- gent-in the manner of a father teasing a daughter about the As on her report card. That is, if she is not TOO clever. If there is the slightest question about whose job is really important to the family then there's usually trouble.
 Right now that attitude is being blamed by Luise Rainer as the cause of her divorce proceedings against the playwright Clifford Odets.
 It didn't matter to the playwright, according to his wife, that she is at the peak of her career - winning the Academy Award two years in a row, and bringing to life charac- terS as unforgettable as her por- trayal of the noble O-Lan in "The Good Earth"
 He thought sh eshould give up her work and become Mrs. Odets- before he got known as MT. Rainer. And in that idea, the playwright is like thousands of husbands all over the country.
 Most of them don't object to a wife's working - but they want it clearly understood that her work isn't important. That there is to be only one career in the family and that it belongs to the hus- band When there are tWo-there Is trouble.

 The chances are about ten to one that your vacation will be more fun if you
 Get a new permanent wave from your own hairdresser before you leave home.
 Make sure before you leave or an automobile trip that your host and hostess aren't the kind of people who insist upon getting up at the crack of dawn every single morn ing so as to be able to drive at least four hundred miles day.
 Don't take just one persons ad- vice about the right resort to go to.
 Decide denitely to get your coat of suntan gradually. Zach year, too many people get a bad sunburn the first day of their vacation and then have to spend several days in bed)
 Don't go along to big, fashion able hotel where dancing and bridge are the only popular forms of rec reation. GA less formal place is a better bet if you are going by your self.
 Pick a resort where the sports you like, and are reasonably good at, are speciality. (Few people you meet will want to bother to teach you to play tennis or golf or bad minton)
 Get your news shoes at least three weeks before you plan to leave and see that they are well broken m before you pack.
 Take all the clothes you really need-but no more than that.
 Don't attempt to decide whom you want to be with and whom you do not care for the first day after you arrive at the resort. (This gen. eral idea applies particularly on hinboard. It's pretty smart to stay

OxALIC ACID oBsCEssION

| OXALIC ACID OBSCESSlON
 Reader describes an experiment he says he saw: Squeeze into a test tube the juice from handful of spinach. Add some lime juice. In a few minutes crystals will form in the bottom of the test tube. The crystals are oxalic acid. Besides spinach, other foods containing oxalic acid will react in the same way - notably rhubarb, entrants, prunes and strawberries.
 So far the readers letter only mystif1eS. But the idea becomes clearer as he proceeds:
 Can you tell me whether the lime in the body would make crystals of oxalic acid form from spinach, rhu- barb, entrants, prunes or straw berries, as it does in the test tube?
 (N. H.
 was afraid of that when the ex- pertinent called for lime juice.
 The comparatively rare citrus fruit called lime should be given a new name. The old name leads to much confusion. In the days of wooden ships and iron men lemons were commonly called Times. The citrus fruits demons, Times, oranges, etc) as well as other fresh fruits or fresh vegetables when obtainable, were prized by sailors on long voy- ages, for they had learned from centuries of experience that the dreaded scruvy could be prevented and cured by such food. Lime juicer" was a slang term applied to English ships and sailors in the old sailing days, because the use of lime juice was compulsory on English ships to prevent scurvy.
 am not chemist enough to ex- plain the experiment the reader de- scribes. I doubt that crystals will \orm in a mixture of spinach juice and lime juice or other citrus fruit juice.
 Oxalic acid occurs in fairly large amounts in tea, cocoa, rhubarb, pepper, sorrel, spinach, beets, bread crust, coffee, beans, figs, entrants, prunes, plums, buckwheat, potatoes.
 In the past physicians have as- sumed in some instances that kid ney irritation and sometimes joint pains and "neurasthenic symptoms" were caused by the formation of oxalic acid crystals in the urine or in the tissues. Today this is a ques- tionable diagnosis. Normally there is daily excretion of a small amount of oxalic acid in the urine about one-half grain.
 Owing to the half-knoWledge many have concerning the presence of oxalic acid in foods, there are some rather ridiculous prejudices in the popular mind. For instance, it is common notion that tomatoes contain oxalic acid and are likely to produce poisonous effects. The sour taste of tomatoes is not due to oxalic acid, but to citric acid the same acid as that which is pop ularly deemed whose come and healthful in lemon, orange or grape fruit. Oranges contain fifteen times as much oxalic acid as tomatoes do.
