Youngest Congressz0on1an SayS Women Get An EUen
 Break In Professions
lURGES MORE TO ENTER LAW
 LAND POLITICS
BY GERRY DICK NEA Service Staff Correspondent


 NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Washington - Republican Con- gresswoman Jessie Summers only complaint against the founding fa- thers is that they did not know any, thing about womens silk stockings.
 She offers in evidence several brand new pairs, badly snagged. The well-worn seats in the House of Representatives chamber may be all right for trousered legs, but they bristle with splinters that arc death on sheer hosiery.
 She hadn't been in her seat two minutes, the opening session of the 76th Congress, when she real- ized that Q run was creeping up her stocking. So embarrassment was Miss Summers first reaction to being 0 new Congresswoman
 By and large though, Miss Sum- ners doesn't think women are at a disadvantage because of their sex in congress or in the professions She says hiking people and not thinking about yourself are the im- portant things" She sums up her advice to women who aspire to careers and public service: "A wo- man will get along anywhere If she is easy to get along with"
 A successful trial lawyer and county judge in Illinois, Miss Sum- ners encourages women to become lawyers and legislators. She says: "If you're a woman in what is often called a mans profession. and you make a mistake 1t will be conspic- uous. But on the other hand, if you do 0 good job, you'll probably re- ceiye credit in the same proportion '
 Miss Summers. who is from Wateska. H., is the youngest wo- man member of Congress. She has blonde hair which she dresses be- comingly. Tall and slender, she keeps that way by walking from three to twenty miles a day, depend ing on how busy she is. She always walks to work and back.
 She believes in the early-to-bed early -to-rise adage. She is up al l UT HI titG hiOIiihAb aiid ah bSsi before Q. She says she doesn't plan to let the Washington whirl upset her habits.
 Congresswoman Summers has the sincere straightforward manner typical of her mid-western origin She likes . fight, saying That's be- cause I'm one-fourth Irish"
 | She thinks her biggest thrill as c legislator will come when she's in the midst of her first fight irl Congress for cause or a bill she believes in.
 Direct and aggressive, the new Congresswoman Is at the same time completely feminine. Asked if she thought e woman could dc as good a job as men if elected President, she said, T don't know any woman who would want tc put on IS years of age in 4 years"

 when woman in her early thirties completely disregards the fact that her hips are from one to three inches wider than they were when she was 27 it's only natural to conclude that she just doesn't want @ good figure.
 The time to worry about hip- heavy look, often known as the "middle-aged spread" is the day your tape measure first tells you that your hips are no longer really slender not years later when you have become just plain fat.
 It's e simple thing to reduce your hipline measurements one or even two inches, but not much fun to try to reduce them seven or eight. By all means keep Q tape measure and a list of your present measurements near your bathroom scales. Use the scales and tape measure once a month, revising the list each time.
 There are no two ways about it. You just cannot eat great quantt- ties of fattening foods, take preci- ous little or absolutely no exer- else, and expect to remain slim and trim. Furthermore, sad as 1t is the exercise involved in a daily round of household duties just isn't the kind which will keer you from getting hippy. That is unless you always walk - and walk briskly to market. Even this daily walk won't suffice = unless the market is about 6 mile and a half from your home.
 Furthermore, you cannot eat Q hearty breakfast with the chil- dren, nibble from the iceboS while fixing lunch, eat lunch, nib- ble again during the afternoon, eat an enormous dinner, have a snack before going to bed and expect not to gain weight. Eating between meals is especially bad.
 The sensible procedure is to cal a light breakfast and lunch, then have one portion of everything on the dinner menu. No second help ings, however, and no dessert until you have finished your vegetables and salad. Always try to drink Q glass of hot water into which the juice of Q fresh lemon has been squeezed at least la.f an hour before breakfast And if you snnply must eat before going to bed, have fresh or stewed fruit or @ glass of fruit juice instead of pie or cake or Q sandwich.
 NEXT: Keeping your skin young.

Sops to New Deal

It comes hard with the Republican press to admit that the Roosevelt New Deal has accomplished anything worth while. But there are certain facts which can't be overlooked and in the CCC the opposition newspapers are forced to admit that an agency has been created for such general good in this nation that its work must be complimented. So should the force that inspired it and has made it's continuation possible for so many years.
 Here, too, was an emergency measure that probably now is permanent And yet it is accepted as casually by most people and editors as if 1t sprang from the very soil which it protects so ably in every state. Only the other day the Hartford Courant concluded lengthy article on New Deal tree-planting by the CCC with the following: "For the billions of new trees the eco has provided, another gen. eration will give more thanks than it will for the billions of new debt with which the New Deal has already saddled it."
 This tree-planting idea once ranked with the shelter belt which met with such scorn from those who were supposed to know all about trees and the regions in which 1t was planned to plant them to pin down shifting soil. At four cents apiece the government has helped plant 127,000,000 trees along 11,000 miles of windbreak. Some of the trees, which vociferous and sarcastic critics insisted wouldn't grow are now 30 and 35 feet high. And on more than 10000 farms new life has come to crops and new hope to the farmers.
 More things for future generations of Americans to rememberl
