A proposal to reorganize American
military control by placing the Army
and the Navy under a single cabinet
officer was revived in Congress to-
day in connection with the Presi-
dents $552 900 900 defense program, ;,
A Democratic Senator who de-
clined to be quoted by name said he
was drafting legislation to create a
secretary of national defense. Sew
eral House members also have been
advocating such a consolidation.
Although similar bills heretofore
have met objections from Army and
Navy leaders, the Senator contended
the projected strengthening of the
military forces was propitious time

Super Highways Weighed.
Senate and House committees
were ready to begin a study of the
armament program this week. Chair
man May, Democrat, of Kentucky
of the House Military Committee,
disclosed he is considering including

the Nation.
In addition to being invaluable
from defense standpoint. he said,
these roads should stimulate eco
nomic development. .
A super highway program was
discussed in Congress last year, but
no action was taken. President
Roosevelt told reporters last week
that if Congress decided to authorize
it, relief funds might be used for
part of the construction.

Choosing Foods

Choosing Foods
So far this column has covered ways and means Of
purchasing foods more economi ca1ly. That is the
first stepe Now comes the problem Of selecting
foods and meals to nourish the family with ted
incomes
To begin with, study of foods and their values
should be made that the wise shopper will be able
to compare prices in relation to food values.
An excellent example is breakfast foods.
The average dry cereal put up in fancy boxes &C
comanied by daily radio grams sells for approx
inately eight ounces for twelve cents making the
cost q. cents. One dry wheat cereal concern does
better than that, and charges the nine
cents for 81 ounces, making the cost per pound 3o
cents.
Snail packages Of oatmeal containing lb., OF.
can be purchased for eight cents-the cost per
pound being six cents compared with the u cents
of the ready-to-eat breakfast foods. Of course,
by buying in bulk or larger quantities, the
price per pound Of oatmeal be brought down to
less than four cents pound. The is true
Of fartna type Of cereals whose average cost is
about nine cents pound.
These figures speak for themselves and the
her family properly might we'll begin with a study
of breakfast foods in order to determine which
cereals give most food value at the lowest price.

Daintiness Is
Problem in
Summer
Washable Clothing
Helps to Retain
Fresh Look
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY,

With hot weather creeping up on
us our problems of daintiness begin.
They are always with us, that is
true, but summers heat demands
certain precautions not imposed by
colder weather.
No longer is personal daintiness a
tickliSh subject. We discuss it as
candidly as we do our health, and
women everywhere exchange sug-
geStions for its assurance. Every
healthy, normal woman perspires
There are several safe deodorantS,
and one of these should be on your
dressing table for use after bath
ing. Under the arms and across the
shoulder blades are the two places
which give us most trouble But
some women are unfortunate
enough to be troubled with facial
perspiration during warm weather.
Those women truly need the advice
of a good physician.
Safe local treatment consists of
frequent soap and water washings
followed by thorough housings of
cold water, to which has been add
ed a bit of toilet vinegar or witch
hazel. Greasy lotions or creams
should not be used. and care should
be taken TO select a face powder
which does not contain starch. 1t
is not safe to use the regular run
of deodorants on the face.
Even fashion designers are help
ing us to solve this problem by
creating exquisite day and evening
gowns of washable fabrics The cur
rent ShirtwaiSt vogue is blessing
to the working girl, for fresh lingerie
daily is a must" in the schedule
of a meticulous maiden. A morning
shower, the use of deodorant, fresh
undies and a crisp starched blouse
will keep many girl from whiting
during her working hours!
If you look cool you are apt to
feel cool, and soft-toned makeup
does lot in making you look COOL
er when the thermometer is high!
Natural rose tones for rouge and
lipstick are far more to be desired
during hot days than the intense
reds. Your face should be washed
and rinsed at midday before re-
touching is done, and the lightest of
face powders is recommended. Some
girls like to annoint their faces and
necks with a fresh, floral cologne,
slightly diluted, before they powder.
With well-scheduled effort there
is no reason why you cannot keep
as fres has a daisy and looking like
a rosebud this coming seasonl We
should be grateful that fashion per-

Dorothy Dix Says
Young Man Usually Attracted
To Older Woman by Money

It can't be done. We can't get
even with those who have wronged
us, because hurting them doesn't
heal the wound they have given us,
nor does making them unhappy
make us happy Vengeance is a
boomerang that flies back and ami
hilates the ones who launched it.
And consider the price you would
have to pay in taking vengeance
on your husband. To begin with,
you would get no thrill out of having
an affair with this man, because you
are past the age when a woman is
swept off her feet. No mans love-
making could speed up your heart a
single beat. AS well might he try to
blow dead ashes into flame. And
you must have sense enough to know
that no woman of 81 can inspire love
in a man much younger than her
self All that she can give any man
is friendship, and when one tries to
inveigle her into an affair he is
either amusing himself at her eX-
pense or preparing to borrow money
from her.
You ask how can you look your
children and friends in the face If
you throw away the white robes Of
virtue you have worn so long and
drag your skirts in the gutter? Be-
lieve me, there is some one far more
important than they whom you can
never look at without shame and
remorse if you do, and that is your
self. DOROTHY DIX.

The Handling
Of Contrary
Youngster
A Battle of Wills
Does Not Change
The Situation
By ANGELO PATRI.

Rose Ann is 4, and contrary
minded. be the subject what it may.
Even when Rose Ann wants very
much to do what is suggested she
refuses and announces her deter
mination to do something else.
This childs mother is quite de-
termined, too. She expects to be
obeyed. Her will is law in her
house. She carries this to extremes
sometimes, as when she ordered the
maid to remove the dessert because
it was not the one she ordered.
When the cook took the cream
needed for the dessert out of the
icebox she found it had soured, so
she had substituted another dish.
Out went the dish with a sharp
reprimand and an order for the
original one. No word came from
the kitchen and the result was the
resignation of the household staff
in a body. Rose Ann has been
brought up in that atmosphere.
One day her mother told her to
put her slippers in the basket in
the closet. Il won't. I'll put them
in my bureau drawer And that
is what she did.
You put them where I told you
to put them or I will spank you
until you do"
II won't" And she didn't.
The end of that scene was the
doctors visit to an hysterical child
and sick mother. But what shall
I do when she tells me she won't
do what she has to do and contin-
ually does something else.?"
Whatever you do, don't begin a
battle of wills. 1t will do nobody
the least good. Even If you beat
the child into submission you have
left it's will Unchanged, waiting for
its chance to work its way. The
real child is the intangible one,
sitting we'll back in the secret places
of the soul, beyond all force, to be
reached only by understanding.
Little children begin to feel them
selves people in their own right
about the time of their third and
fourth birthdays. Their wills begin
to take on power. They are very
likely to say No. No is the only
word that expresses what they feel
They are not rebels. What they
are trying to express in that mo,
I'll do it this way" Is Just give
Nhornn fo kroioc
mind, my power, so that I can
grow into a Somebody that has the
power to impose himself on other
people, and on things about him"
Don't make an issue of the mat
ter. When he balks, usually about
something not vital in any way,
be Indifferent, and say, VERY we'll,
you needn't" and direct your at
tention to something else, seeming
ly to the exclusion of the child and
his deeds. That takes the ground
from under the battle. There Is
no battle. Finding no resistance
he cannot resist The silence and
bring him to terms, which you ac-
cept without accent of any sort.
The more casual one is with mega
lively minded child, the better.
1t is a mistake to force such
children. Wait, Set the stage for
the course you would have him take
Suggest it by various means. And
be casual. The stage passes soon
If treated this way, but If mis-
treated, it leaves scars that last.
