War Is Seen

Advance Will
Continue, Says
Mrs. Miller

War is the only thing that could
stop the advance women Of this
country have made since the 18th
century. Mrs. Izetta Jewell Miller,
chief regional supervisor Of the
Works Progress Administration, said
last night in an address before a
joint dinner meeting of the Home
Economics Women in Business and
the Dietetics Association at the

Tracing the progress of women,
Mrs. Miller declared it has been
made side by side" with men. and
expressed the opinion that women
have no desire to replace men in
economic and professional fields.

tributed to a greater understanding
and more comradesllip in marriage
by making women real human
beings"

RAISING A FAMILY --
I'VE Can't Afford q Baby"
Is Too Often Just An Abb
RAISING A FAMILY

you have moved twice to better
quarters. In that time, you have
bought house on payments. You
have car. 1t seems that your
husband thinks it better to have
these things clear before you begin
to think of family.
He forgets that time is a factor
in human life, and that other things
can wait far better. He gets very
impatient if you suggest that you
want a child now. And you are
afraid that if you persist, he may
want to get rid of you. What sort
of a man is he, anyhow?
SEEMS A FORM
OF HYSTERIA
I married when my young hus-
band was making less than twenty
dollars a week. We took a house in
the country, within committing dis
lance of town. Twenty dollars a
month rent. There was no bath. 1t
never occurred to us not to have a
child. OF course we had no car.
We had been married sixteen years
before we owned one. 1t was second
hand.
In the meantime we were draw
ing interest on our children. That
is the way married couples used to
think about it.
Our population is dwindling fast
Hard times are partly accountable.
But I think much of it due to the
fact that hysteria has us by the
throat and we are afraid to dare
the natural thing.
1t is strange when. as I say, we
dare so many other things. think
you might talk it over with your
husband and see If you can't con-
vince him that baby would be
the best investment ever.
Your sincerely,

orally 1t develops, after investigt-
ton, that I have only kept q step or
two ahead of scientific progress in
the general field OF medicine, Of
which dentistry Is q rather way

If they can.
It seems to be the Ill luck of a
small number Of those who have
dissimilar metals in the mouth to
suffer from painful ulcers Of the
cheek or the tongue mucous mem
brane ulcers which heal but poorly
and soon reappear. Why only a
few patients with, say, gold and
copper alloys plus silver or ANAL
gam in various Filings, inlays,
crowns, bridges and the like, suffer
from these painful ulcers, please
do not ask me. Possibly the saliva
OF some persons Is a better cleo
trolyte than is the saliva of others,
and makes a more efficient minia-
ture galvanic battery by its action
on the dissimilar metals. Anyway,

WOMAN,S REALM
Clarifying
Yourself
BY Alicia Hart
NEA Service staff writer


All the little girls who have hay
fever right now will please form q
line leading to cosmetic counters
which feature wide varieties of
liquid powders and powder founda-
lions which take the place Of face
powder.
Unless she has found a satisfac-
tory non-allergic powder or q reg
ular brand to whcih she, person.
ally, is not allergic, it's an excel
lent idea to look for one.
However, in case face powder
which does not increase sneezing
cannot be found, supply Of nom
shiny foundation cream or lotion
is well in order. Search for one
which matches exactly your nat
ural skin tones, apply 1t according
to directions.
If, in spite Of your best efforts
your nose is pretty red most Of
the time, don't think Of mo-
ment that giving up rouge will make
your nose less conspicuous. How
ever. put the artificial color ON the
outside of cheeks-as far as pos
sible away from nose. incidentally,
ask your doctor to recommend a
healing cream to be used around
nose at night. Also eye drops or a
special eye wash.
BE MORE INTENSE
ABOUT GROOMING
Lipstick ought to be indelible.
Otherwise, constant dabbing at the
nose with handkerchief will smear
it. Dry your lips before smoothing
it on, let the color set a moment
or two, then blot away the excess
before pressing lips together or
moistening them.
Above all, don't let down to the
point of forgetting to have your
hair done or thinking that, no mat
ter what you do, you won't look
presentable as long as "the season"
lasts. Pay even more attention to
sensible rules for perfect grooming.
Do something interesting with your
hair or wear perfectly stunning
clothes. The idea is to draw atten-
ton away from your face.

Women can stand letting their
men go to war. 1t is more than
should be asked of a human being
but they can fool themselves into
believing that John or Jacques or
Fritz will be able to take care of
himself.
But this war is asking even more
Of women than that. 1t is asking
them to let their children be taken
from them. And they can't say,
"No." for they must think always
Of the childs best chances.

normal saliva is q fair electrolyte

nor does the use of alkaline mouth
wash seem to alleviate or correct
the trouble In these cases.
Galvanic ulcers may be mistaken
for obstinate "canker sores" which
they resemble to q degree; the gal
vanic sores do not heal as readily
as canker sores, however, and usu-
ally the galvanic ulcers are directly
opposite or in the path between
the dentures which are responsible.
In some cases galvanic sore mouth
Is mistaken for smokers patches,
medically called leocoplakia. Leu
coplakia viii be described later.
In any case of galvanic sore
mouth the practical question arises,
whether to remove the gold or say
the amalgam Filings. One or the
other metal must be removed and
replaced with a metal similar to
that present in the mouth. In some
cases 1t is more practical to re-
move the recently installed gold
denture and substitute for 1t one of
the same metal as that composing
the Filings present in the teeth. In
other cases the amalgam filings
should be removed, replaced with
gold like that Of the crown, bridge
or inlay already installed.

@. How may cotton materials be
dyed with sumac blossoms and red
sumac leaves?
A. About one peck of the BIOS
SONS and leaves will be needed to
dye each pound of dry material. Cut
the blossoms from the green stems
and cover them well with soft
water. Boil this mixture for two
or three hours, or until all Of the
color has been drawn from the bios
SONS. Strain the mixture through
a sieve to remove the berries and
leaves. Allow four ounces OF po-
fash of alum and one ounce OF
washing soda to each pound of cot
ton. Dissolve the alum and wash
ing soda In four, to four and one
half gallons of cold water and inn
merse the cotton cloth or yarn,
which has been thoroughly wet and
wrung out of water. Heat 1t grad
ually. stirring and turning the cloth
all the time, and boil for one hour.
Allow the material to cool over night
in this, and in the morning squeeze
it free of water. roll 1t in a dry
towel, and put in cool place. Just
before putting the material In the
dyebath, rinse 1t in clear. luke
warm water, making sure 1t is thor
oughly wet. Then put 1t in the dye
bath made from the sumac. using
enough water to cover the material.
Boil 1t at least one hour. Let stand
in this dye until 1t is cool, or over
night. Remove the material and
rinse 1t In several waters until no
more color comes out. Dry 1t out Of
doors In the sun.
