DON'T BE SILLY ABOUT FOOD

DON'T BE SILLY ABOUT FOOD
 In my opinion there is more twaddle, and expensive twaddle it is, in the official organ of the national medical association and the one-man health magazine spon- sored by the association than in al- most any popular periodical that purportS to have any standing. In setting up its councils on foods, drugs, merchandise, education and whatnot the powerful and ruthless medical organization promulgates the rules for the guidance of every body concerned. Then, if 1t pleases the organization itself to break any of its own rules or requirements, who is to utter even a feeble "St-st-st!' l. an oligarchy the Pooh-Bah can do no wrong.
 Wheat germ, which is the richest natural food source of vitamin B. complex, now sells almost every where from eight to fifteen cents a pound. Some millers catch out a small quantity regularly and sell the fresh milled wheat germ for eveh less than these prices, in quantities of a few pounds, to cus- toners who come and get it. But one firm, standing in the sunshine of the council on foods of the medi- cal organization, offers an extra special choice glorified and oh so daintily packaged wheat germ un- der a pretty trade name for only dollar pound! How some people do love tWaddle.
 I advocate, for health's sake, the regular habit or custom of eating plain wheat (Send stamped en- velope bearing your address and ask for monograph on Wheat to Eat") and the daily eating of at least one raw vegetable and one raw fruit. I urge the custom of serving real salad - that is to say a dish of raw herbs, leafy vege- tables, relishes, greens, fruits-as an important part of dinner or lunch, and the time to serve the salad is at the beginning of the meal, at least for adults and par ticularly for adults who are over stuffed. I recommend to any one who likes it the eating of the skins or jackets of baked potato as well as, or perhaps in place Of, the starchy portion. Likewise the skins or peel of raw apple or of any other fruit if one likes to eat the fruit entire. I recommend the eat ing of wheat bran to all and sum- dry without particular regard for hypothetical irritation" which cer- tain. perhaps subsidized, medical authors have ascribed to it.
 On the other hand it is silly to imagine there is anything harm full to health in refined white bread, or in the finest or purest sugar, syrup, candy, cereal prod uct.
 Sugar is sugar and there is no significant difference between beet sugar and cane sugar or between glucose, sucrose, maltese, dextrose, lactose, levulose Cor fructose), SC far as nutritive values are con- cerned, although some sugars taste sweeter than others and some in- dividuals prefer the taste of one sugar to another.

Budgeting Helps You To Spend Wisely

Make Every Dollar Work for You
 What happy change budget plan can work in family lifel The couple that felt unable to afford" good times, who lived in fear of un- expected bills, see a new life before them.
 Often a checking of expendi- lures by a model budget plan shows one item is the mischief maker.
 A monthly rent higher than one weeks income may mean an un- bearable skimping in recreation, a perpetualu putting off of things you want-a new car, better furniture. Make a move that saves $l0 month ly in rent-and you have $120 a year more for other things.
 In the same way your budget plan shows you how to manage food, clothing, other funds. How much to allow for each depends a lot on you and your family. The woman who can sew and knit gets

 o. What house plants will repel insects from the premises?
 A. The Bureau of Entomology says that, contrary to popular belief there is no plant known to them which will actually repel insects.
 o. Please give directions for cooking low-cost beef steaks such as those cut from chuck, trump, round, and flank.
 A. Brown the steak in a small amount of fat, then cook slowly in a closely-covered pan with a small amount of liquid, either on top of the stove or in casserole dish. Before cooking, the meat should be scored or pounded to make it more tender. Onions, tomatoes and other seasoning add flavor.
 Q. Is there anything I can us e to prevent the surface design from wearing of my new printed lino- leum?
 A. Use coat of spar varnish or liquid bakelite. As these tend to darken the flood covering, many per- sons prefer to use clear linoleum varnish, which dries more quickly but also wears off more quickly.

There's much talk of hustle bows and various other kinds of back fullness. Such effects are highly recommended - if you can wear them. If you cannot, there are slim, streamlined dresses with skirts so narrow that they often are slit at the sides. Also wide-skirted mo- dels, as Molyneux features. And, of course, plenty with all emphasis laid on the hipline, as Piguet's peg top treatments and Balenciaga's hip yokes. Front fullness and some side fullness are shown.
 Regardless of silhouette, your first fall street dress is more than likely to be black. After a summer of pastels and prints, nothing ever seems quite so chic to the average woman as suave little black num- Der.
 THOSE EXTRAS

 However, all greens - from rich, dark and grayish olive to lighter tones-are widely used. Brown is an important headliner, with reddish grayish, chocolate and tawny shades of it stressed in New York and Paris Reds dark and brilliant are seen. Smoke-gray, mustard-yel- low and violet-blue are spotted here and there.
 Embroidered medallions, subtle touches of sequins, bits of gold em- broidery and interesting combina- tions of fabrics will catch your eye. Chic indeed is messy rayon crepe dress with skirt fullness gathered to wide, set-in corselet belt of velvet.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
BY ALICIA HART


 Shall let my blond daughter wear makeup?" writes the mother of a 14-year-old who will enter high school this fall. If so, what shades are suitable?" Much as it pains this mother, or any other mother, the answer to the first question must depend on local custom. If the large-really large majority of the girls in her freshman class wear makeup, the average child will be pretty unhappy unless she, too, is allowed to wear it. There are no two ways about 1.-the very young want to be and look exactly like one another.
 However, before making any deci- sion, Mrs. Mother, it might be an excellent idea to make a personal survey of the situation; Find an op- portunity to take good look at the entire freshman class. Count the girls who are wearing makeup. Find out for yourself about the majority statistics. You might even discuss the matter with teacher or two and the mothers of three or four of your daughters friends.
 APPLYING MAKEUP
 IS A REAL ART
 If you lose the decision, then by all means take time to help your child choose the right type of makeup in becoming shade. Teach her or have an expert teach her to put it on properly.
 Face powder should be the smoothest, finest you can afford, and it ought to match exactly her natural skin tones. Rouge and lip stick ought to be light-the color her cheeks and lips become after violent exercise. Each item should be applied according to the shape of her face-and ever so sparingly, of course. Faintly pinkish, glowing cheeks are one thing. Flamboyantly rouged ones are quite another.

NEGRO GROUP is DIVIDED ON
PLAY BAN
(Sandvik)
Bloc Challenges Councils Boycott
Of Theatres 'Porgy'

Differences of opinion on the all
Negro production of "Porgy", schedul-
ed by the University Theatre for next
January, were indicated yesterday
when more than so Negro students OBJ
jected to the Counci 1of Negro Stu
dents unanimous condemnation" OF
the proposed production of the play.
1t is believed that the promise of
page in Life Magazine was an in
ducement to some of the students to
appear in the production.
Reports by negro students interest
ed in producing the play were made
to Mrs. Anne Fenlason, associate pro-
fessor of sociology and faculty advis
sor to the council, that the resolution
had been "railroaded through by a
minority who might not be acquainted
with the story of 'Porgy'"
Reid Erickson, assistant director at
the Theatre who was to be in charge
of producing the play refused to COM
ment, but said that the two meetings
he has called with the potential cast
were attended by more than so Negro
students who Expressed eagerness to
take part in the play
Mrs. Fenlason, who has not been
active with the organization this fall,
stated that when the play was first
proposed last spring, she conferred
with a few Negro students and work
ers in Phyllis Wheatly House who all
agreed that the production of "Porgy''
offered the Negro student splendid
opportunity for artistic expression.
81 personally felt elated when the
Theatre decided on 'Porgy'," Mrs
Fenlason said, "and this agitation has
come Unexpectedly to me-"
"If the councils resolution does rep.
resent the feelings of all the Negro
students, it must be based on misun
derstanding of what is involved"
Mrs. Fenlason feels that in a pro
duction of "Porgy" by white students
the racial question might arise, bu
with an all-Negro cast this would b.
avoided.

this play be done by an all-Negro cast
