BY ANGELO PATRI.

H1IDA is an attractive child,
friendly. and usually we'll oe-
haved. I'm and a little over, so
I'm big girl" she says. Il can do
lots Of things to help you, mother.
What will you give me if l help you
with the baby?"
What do you want me to give you?"
Something. Something nice"
But what is it you want, Hilda?
You have all the toys you need, all
the food you can eat, all the clothes
you can wear. Why should you want
anything else? Couldn't you help
without asking for pay? Nobody asks
you for pay when they help you"
I'm little. that's why. Give me
something, mother, and I'll help you"
Mother says mo. There is really
nothing that can give you except my
thanks and If that is not enough, then
don't help"
Then WON'T" says Hilda, and goes
off,
When mother or father or auntie
comes into the house after an absence.
Hilda meets them with shouts Of Joy
and before they can get settled in .
chair, demands. What did you bring
me? Did you bring me a pretty?"
It is an unpleasant habit All little
children, at some time in their growth,
are acquisitive They want to gather
things and more things. They collect
bits of paper. little stones. beads. toys
and the like. The crow age, some
psychologists call this. Usually we let
this stage 60 to completion and 1t
passes without leaving any unpleasant
traces. Hilda seems to be holding to
it too long.
To such as Hilda say NO" very
calmly, and appear to ignore the idea
Don't talk about 1t, if you can pos
sibly help it. Just say mo, didn't
bring you a thing" and talk about
something else. Don't bring her any
thing when coming home after visit.
Do nothing that will strengthen her
notion Of getting and keeping things.
If she is not encouraged in any way
she is very likely to forget the whole
business.
As to older children being paid for
work they do about the house the best
plan, in my experience, is to assign
household chores to every child. Share
the work among them 50 they learn
to understand that home is a Coop
erative business carried on by the
whole family. In this way no child
can be overworked or imposed upon.
I think it is fair, proyided the at
mosphere of the home is set that way,
to pay older children for work they
do when their work saves the cost Of
outside labor. This happens rarely.
Most of the work done for the home
by the children is service to them
selves and to each other and for that
there can be no money payment.
Love and the service Of love is beyond
price.

kettle method for tomatoes, As the
combined effect of heat and air are
known to destroy some Of the precious
vitamin c content. Tomatoes may
be packed whole in sterilized jars
and the jars filled with tomato Juice.
Or they may be cut into quarters,
heated to boiling and processed hot.
In canning use only firm, ripe
tomatoes. II possible select bright
red ones of a uniform size. Reject
any tomatoes with moldy or partly
decomposed portions. A bit Of or
flavor quickly permeates the entire
juicy tomato-then the entire jar.
FROM the standpoint Of the home
maker-cook what food could be
more welcome than the luscious. juicy
tomato? 1t brings a dozen possibil-
tiles for any meal
If she wants beginner. tomato
Juice cocktail is always refreshing.
Hot soup. generally an out for the
month Of August. is welcome as cold
jellied tomato consomme
For the main course tomatoes may
be baked, plain or stuffed, stewed or
scalloped. broiled or fried. And for
sauces for the meat or fish, for beans,
or the rice or macaroni dish-it was
tomato sauce that tempted the first
connoisseur to taste the love apple,
some accounts relate.
For salad. the tomato Is the vege-
table SUPREME. 1t Is color, flavor, tex
ture, all in one.
Here are few tips for preparing
tomatoes for the table this August.
Fresh tomato juice cocktail. which
captures the flavor Of the first luscious
red slices is especially popular with
many. For fresh tomato cocktail
select very red and very ripe tomatoes
Wash and chop and force the raw
tomatoes through fine sieve to extract
the juice. To give the drink q little
more zest allow slices of raw onion
to stand in the juice until the flavors
freshly squeezed lemon juice and a
dash of horseradish or tabaSco sauce.
If the family isn't enthusiastic
about your fried tomatoes try holding
in the juices by dipping the slices in
beaten egg. then fine bread crumbs
before frying. Slightly underripe
tomatoes are most easily handled, Of
course
For salad eye appeal remember
to choose tomatoes with a deep. red
color Be sure to postpone adding
the tart French dressing until the
last minute if you don't want the
tomatoes to shrivel and weep. The
acid and salt of the dressing draws
the juice from the tomato II the
salad stands very long before serving

ever, there is general return to nor
NAL and the costs of furs are conse-
quently great deal lower. In the
winter months prices will probably 60
up bit, but at this point they are
encouraging, indeed - really below
average.
Leading furs are Hudson seal. al
ways conservative choice; Persian
lamb, Japanese mink, caracul. musk
rat and mink-dyed muskrat. The lat
ter is becomingly increasingly popu-
lar. for it bears a strong resemblance
to mink, wears we'll and is in the in

forget skunk-it was popular last year
and should be this season, too.

&WAGGER styles are far and away
~ the most popular. with accent on
the tiniest of collars. Shoulders are
worthy OF attention. for they are
somewhat exaggerated and very
square. The exaggerated lines are
not outstanding, however, and some
of them do not extend beyond the
natural shoulder line, but they all have
boxy effect-some with fuilness on
the sides of the sleeves. Bell sleeves
set very plain into the shoulder are
very flattering. Tuxedo fronts which
may be buttoned high are practical
and attractive.
There are few fitted styles for you
ladies who refuse to succumb to the
swagger lines. One attractive model
is topped by the eternal squared
shoulders, belted in tightly at the
waist and flared at the hem-l10
inches around the bottom.
The length Of your new fur coat
depends upon your dresses. When
you decide how long-or how short
your frocks will be, the proper proceed
ure will be to have your coat about
inches shorter And judging from
latest reports, we'd say that will be
pretty short.
Fur coats are glorious luxury in
the average woman's life-nothing
makes her feel quite 50 pampered.
So we'd suggest that you extricate
yourself from behind all those glasses
of ice water and seven electric fans
and HE yourself down to see the new
models.
When August fur sales come, can
winter be far behind?

their wares during the hottest month
of the year, and why women have
been educated to the advantages of
buying their coats at that time.
This string bean story-see, we
come back to it-covers the situation
very nicely. The gentleman with
whom we talked explained it like this i:
Suppose" he said, you went to buy
string beans. There you see three
baskets of them-the first, perfect;
the second, excellent, but not quite
80 perfect; and the third trif1e
less desirable than the first two.
They're all string beans, and they all
demand the same price, but naturally
you would select the first basket-the
idea of first come, first served. So ii
is with furs. When We buy skins,
we get the choice lots on the first
purchase-the ones We offer in our
August sales. Later. while We buy
excellent skins, they have been picked
over" and while they are still superb
in quality, they are not quite up to
the first selection. Women have been
educated to know this They realize
that the longer they wait, the more
limited the choice, for nature supplies
only so many pelts year, and when
they are gone that's the end. After
all. you can reproduce dress as many
times as you desire, but you cannot
duplicate the skins of animals

THIS buyer is tremendously amused
by the ordinary male attitude
on the subject. Last year about this
time we had our usual window display

interested to see gentleman stop
BY our window, mop his brow, gaze
unbelievingly at the furs, and ask
timidly, Are they real?' He was pos
ttively the most astonished man you
could imagine when I assured him they
were" The stronger sex realizes that
there is really no pressing need for
them to buy their winter overcoats
in the summer, and no amount OF
promotions and explanations can con-
vince them that with furs it is other
wise!
OF prime importance this season
is the fact that furs are considerably
less expensive than they were last

middle-aged women than any,
thing else is whether they shall
divorce philandering husbands
or forgive and forget. When a wife
finds out that her husband is faithless
to her, her first impulse is to rush
hot-foot to the divorce court. She is
humiliated by the slight he puts upon
her by preferring other women and
putting her in the position Of being
either pitied or laughed at by their
little world.
In her rage and despair there seems
nothing for her but to break up her
home and go as far as possible from
her disloyal husband Away from him,
she thinks that she will, at least. be
able to find peace and somehow build
her life over again.
Acting upon this theory that divorce
is the only remedy for a wandering
husband. thousands upon thousands of
women break up their homes only to
discover that divorce is not the cure
all for domestic unhappiness that they
thought 1t was, and that often a poor
husband, or even q half time husband,
Is better than no husband at all.

either. You know how good it is for
the youngsters and how many emer-
gency needs it can fill!
Today's release from the Bureau of
Home Economics of the United States
Department Of Agriculture contains the
following information:
THE tomato still holds its unique
place among vegetables as a valuable
source Of vitamin c. which must be
supplied daily. as it cannot be stored
in the body. The value of the tomato
as a source of this vitamin is based
on the fact that its supply OF c is not
lost by cooking or canning. In addi-
ton, it can be prepared in SO many
ways that the homemaker easily per-
suades her family to consume large
quantities. Tests made by the Bureau
of Home Economics indicate that none
of the vitamin c content Of the to-
mato is lost by the usual approved
methods Of home canning and that
little. if any. is lost by storing opened
juice for few days in the refrigerator.
4
TRUE. there is more ascorbic acid
tvitamin c. content in some
tomatoes than in others There is even
a difference in the c content of the
same variety from the same patch
through the season. But. despite this
variation, tomatoes, whether fresh or
canned, by home or commercial meth
DDS, whether served whole or in the
juice, quality as good sources of
vitamin G.
Although the tomato built up its
reputation with the dietitians on the
basis of its C content, that is not
all the vegetable has to offer. Ripe
tomatoes are rich in vitamin A, also
often inadequate in low-cost diets.
Ripe and green tomatoes both supply
C and B. some iron. and small amounts
of other essential minerals. Their
low calorie value recommends them
for summertime diets. especially
among those on the lookout for re-
ducing foods.
Because canned as well as fresh
tomatoes supply the vitamin c which
cannot be stored in the body. those
fortunate enough to have their own
garden supplies should by all means
can their surplus tomatoes for winter
use. Sometimes village or small city
market prices are so low that home
makers will even find it an economy
to buy tomatoes for home canning.
Tomatoes are the only common
vegetable safely and easily canned
by the water-bath method. Their

With the Governor leading the

An attempt to beat the La Fol

Senator F.. Ryan Duffy is unop-

There is also heavy competition
in each of the ten congressional
districts.
